Workers sorted and clipped the seedlings of the dragon's whiskers.
After the dragon's whiskers are collected and shipped ashore, the workers prepare to divide the seedlings.
Dragon's whiskers grow and people smile.
Recently, at the Qingyutan Wharf in Rongcheng Xunshan Street, farm workers are seizing the opportunity to carry out the operation of dragon whisker vegetable seedlings. Dragon's whiskers are the superior raw materials for the food industry to extract agar gum, and can also be used as high-quality feed for abalone farming, and can be eaten as a green health food, and also have a wide range of uses in medical research.
This year, the breeding area of longsu vegetables in Xunshan Street has reached more than 10,000 mu, and the seedling period of longsu vegetables is from April to September every year, every 25 days to 30 days for a cycle, with a total of 6 stubble seedlings throughout the year, with an output value of about 200 million yuan.
The breeders de-roped the long-bearded vegetables collected and transported ashore, and then distributed the seedlings to the seedling workers, their fingers flying, and clusters of seedlings were evenly clipped into the gaps in the seedling ropes. The seedling rope used for the seedlings is 6 meters long, which can clip three or four pounds of seedlings, and a breeding worker can clip 200 to 400 ropes per day, and after passing the inspection, the five ropes are transported to the marine breeding area in a group.
After 20 days of growth, the dragon's whiskers weighed forty or fifty pounds of a seedling rope. The harvested dragon's whiskers are partly used for abalone farming, and the rest continue to be clipped as seed.
