Have you ever seen two stubbles planted a year, and can also plant corn, vegetables and other crops during the interval, with a comprehensive mu benefit of nearly 10,000 yuan, mainly used to process dehydrated vegetables, popular with consumers in large cities, and can be harvested in more than 30 days at the earliest?
In Xumiao Village, Shatu Town, Bozhou City, Anhui Province, the villager Xu Brother is sitting in the courtyard busy, the morning sun will force the late autumn frost into a shadow in the corner, the villagers have long changed into thick autumn clothes, but Xu Brother is still dressed in summer clothes, is busy in the sky, only to see him sitting there, the blade in his hand flew over, the scraped lettuce into four strands, and then picked up by Xu Sister-in-law, and then took to the door, hung on a rope to dry.
Autumn lettuce, growing really average, slender stalks, may be related to too much rain this year, in this regard, Xu Big Brother hehe smiled: "Lettuce? Haha, another Zhang Guan Li Dai, I can't remember how many people recognize this thing as lettuce, anyway, as long as you haven't seen it, you can mistake it for lettuce, no wonder, in the eyes of strangers, their looks are too similar.
However, as long as you look closely, there is still a certain difference between them, such as lettuce stems are short and thick, the leaves are relatively wide, and the leaf color is darker, and the stems of this crop are relatively slender and symmetrical, the leaves are similar to oil wheat vegetables, peeled and dried into strips, it becomes a dehydrated vegetable, after soaking in water, whether it is cold mixed or stir-fried, it is a crisp feeling to eat, and the dehydrated vegetables made of lettuce do not have such an effect.
As for its name, we locals call it moss, processed into dehydrated vegetables after called dried moss, there are places called tribute dishes, because the output is small, and very distinctive, so the retail price is more expensive, and only in the big city is more popular, like many friends in the provincial capital Hefei, every year during the Spring Festival to buy dried moss to eat, however, if the dry moss consumption of huge areas, it will be counted Chongqing and Sichuan, because dried moss is their shabu hot pot preparation, the locals said, with dried moss shabu hot pot, eat it is particularly feeling.
The reason why it is difficult to have sales outside the big city is not because people do not like to eat dried moss, but because the price of dried moss is too high, usually selling 40-60 yuan / catty, and it is more painful to eat. ”
Listening to the introduction of Brother Xu, people can't help but have a strong interest in this moss in front of them, so how is such a high-end crop grown?
Xu Brother: "The biggest advantage of moss is its rapid growth, that is to say, its growth period is extremely short, and it can be planted two stubbles a year, such as spring moss to be planted around January, harvested in April after the year, the growth period is about 120 days, after the moss harvest, the field can be planted with a stubble of spring corn or other crops.
After these crops are harvested, you can plant autumn moss, the specific time is planted in September, harvested in October, the growth period is only more than 30 days, what kind of vegetable can have such a short growth period? Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fast-growing vegetable.
As for the cost of moss planting, it is also very low, moss seedlings are bred with their own seeds, only a bag of fertilizer per mu is enough, before and after adding up, it is also a cost of more than 200 yuan.
One mu of moss can be processed into about 200 pounds of dehydrated vegetables, according to the average market price of 22 yuan / catty, two stubble moss per mu can earn about 9,000 yuan, plus the crops planted in the middle, each mu to get tens of thousands of yuan of income is no problem at all. ”
Is the moss grown by Brother Xu very similar to the lettuce, and have you eaten the dehydrated vegetables after processing? However, what makes people wonder is why such an excellent specialty vegetable is rarely grown across the country.
