"Since 2009, the base has planted a total of 573 acres of oil tea, a total of more than 70,000 plants, and now it is growing better and better every year." Huang Zhangming said with a smile.

May is a good time for everything to grow, and in a few days, the base will hire 60 surrounding villagers to pick oil tea spikes, which are expected to be harvested this year for 15,000 kilograms and an output value of up to 240,000 yuan.

Camellia oleifera is an economic tree and a longevity tree, it is hardy and drought-resistant, and can withstand cold and frost. The soil of Dayin Village is acidic and sunny, making it most suitable for the growth of Camellia oleifera. In early summer, the sale of camellia oleifera spikes, frost picking camellia oleifera fruit squeezing oil, a ridge of camellia oleifera trees is an industrial chain, this piece of camellia oleifera mountain has become a "golden mountain silver mountain" for farmers to get rich and well-off.

It is understood that last year, the Great Indian Oil Tea Bamboo Professional Cooperative sold a total of 4,000 kilograms of oil tea spikes, mainly to Guizhou Province, Pengshui County and Liangping townships; 60 tons of Camellia oleifera fruit were picked, mainly sold to Yongchuan District, Fuling District and Youyang County.

In Dayin Village, the oil tea trees all over the mountains dot the beauty of the mountains and provide employment channels for villagers. Since Huang Zhangming planted camellia oleifera trees in Dayin Village, the annual management and picking season can solve the employment of nearly 60 laborers in and around the village, and each labor force can increase their income by nearly 10,000 yuan per year.

"I was born in the countryside, grew up in the countryside, started a business in the countryside, and have special feelings for the countryside, agriculture, and farmers." Over the past 13 years, Huang Zhangming has been accompanied by the mountains, got along with oil tea, and used a fiery heart and indomitable spirit to gradually turn the barren mountains green and plant "golden fruits".

"Oil tea is green in the mountains, happiness is sweet in the heart." The oil tea industry can certainly lead the masses to go farther and farther on the road of rural revitalization. Huang Zhangming said that in that year, the government sent the oil tea planting technology and support policies to him, so that the oil tea tree became the "cash cow" for him to get rich, and he was grateful. In the next step, he plans to teach the cultivation technique of oil tea to the villagers for free, so as to drive more people to increase their income.
