Lanzhou, Xinhua News Agency, August 3 (Reporter Ling Weijia, Wang Peng, Tao Yiping) The train runs fast because of the headband. This well-known saying is the most appropriate for Tianshui Malatang to drive the local economy.

At the beginning of the year, Tianshui Malatang, which was popular "out of the circle", has been full of "stamina", driving the planting, processing and sales of cash crops such as potatoes, peppers, peppers, and flax in surrounding cities and counties, and has become a veritable "locomotive" for getting rich. When the reporter interviewed, many local cadres and masses bluntly said: A bowl of spicy hot can make 100,000 families rich!

In fact, before Tianshui Malatang became popular, potatoes, peppers, peppers and other local cash crops had long been the main cash crops. However, due to the lack of leading enterprises, these agricultural products with unique quality have always been "hidden in the depths of the boudoir and no one knows" and are in a tepid state.
The unexpected popularity of Tianshui Malatang made these agricultural products quickly "out of the circle".
According to data provided by the Tianshui Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism, in the first half of this year, Tianshui received more than 31 million tourists and spent more than 17.7 billion yuan on tourism, an increase of 42.95% and 43.92% year-on-year respectively.
"This year, the planting area of chili peppers in Gangu County reached 100,700 mu, an increase of nearly double that of last year", "the company's order volume of wide flour in the first half of the year increased by more than 40% compared with the same period in previous years", "before the chili pepper was listed, it had received orders from Guangdong, Hunan and other places" "Up to now, the company has sold more than 4 million yuan of Malatang-related products"......

According to reports, the local area has formed a multi-industry integrated development pattern with Malatang as the core, pepper and pepper planting and hand-rolled flour, wide flour, condiments and other processing.

A bowl of Tianshui Malatang not only brought a huge income to Malatang merchants, but also allowed countless surrounding farmers to increase their benefits and puff up their wallets, saying "A bowl of Malatang can get rich for 100,000 families", which is not an unfounded exaggeration.
From this point of view, to take good care of and develop this spicy hot "locomotive" that has just "come out of the circle", to maintain it diligently, fill up with oil, and have sufficient electricity is to protect the money bags and good lives of countless farmers in Longzhong, and to maintain the sustained and healthy development of the local economy, social harmony and stability.
It is no wonder that many local cadres sighed: If there are a few more agricultural brands like Tianshui Malatang, the development of the rural economy and the growth of farmers' incomes will not worry about the lack of a way.
Another "locomotive" that has brought the local economy into the fast lane is the traditional Chinese medicine in Longxi County, Dingxi City, Gansu Province.

The reporter interviewed in Longxi County, Chinese herbal medicine is an uninterrupted topic: farmers are concerned about Chinese herbal medicines, cadres talk about Chinese herbal medicines, Chinese medicinal materials are planted in the fields, and even the trucks coming and going on the road are also Chinese herbal medicines...... In short, the entire county economy revolves around the core of Chinese herbal medicines.
The reporter learned from the interview that Longxi County, known as the "Western Pharmaceutical Capital", had a total output value of 35.35 billion yuan in the whole industrial chain of traditional Chinese medicine last year, and the planting of Chinese medicinal materials covered seventy percent of the county's rural households, contributing 40% to the per capita disposable income of farmers in the main producing areas.
Undoubtedly, like Malatang, the Chinese herbal medicine industry is the "locomotive" of the local economy. Some farmers relied on planting Chinese medicinal materials such as astragalus, codonopsis, and coltsfoot to get rid of poverty and live a well-off life; Some farmers rely on transportation and storage of Chinese medicinal materials, and have become well-known and wealthy local households; Some farmers also live a prosperous life by renting out agricultural machinery such as seedling transplanting machines and digging machines......

What is gratifying is that whether it is Tianshui Malatang or Longxi Chinese medicinal materials, these "locomotives" that have brought real benefits to the local economy have been fully cared for by government officials and farmers.
For example, when Tianshui Malatang was at its hottest, all the red peppers in the farmers' homes in Gangu County were sold out, but none of the farmers purchased cheap peppers as shoddy. When interviewed by reporters, a local farmer said: "It seems that I have made a little money today, but in fact, I have smashed my job tomorrow." Such a stupid thing cannot be done! ”
It has become a top-down consensus to maintain the "locomotive" of the industry, fill up the oil and have sufficient electricity. Tianshui Municipal Bureau of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, Market Supervision Bureau and other departments said that Tianshui City will continue to deepen reforms, optimize the business environment, and promote the quality and efficiency of characteristic industries, and strive to stabilize the good momentum of industrial development.
It is difficult to cultivate a brand, and it is difficult to destroy a brand. Especially in the underdeveloped areas of the central and western regions, the leading role of the industrial "locomotive" is even more valuable. Those areas that are "on fire with food", "hot on tourism" and "prosperous on industry" must take good care of this "locomotive" and make it a booster for industrial transformation and upgrading, and a good helper for farmers to get rich and increase income.
