In addition, I usually went out to work, and I also had an income of 18,000 yuan. In a year, my net income was nearly 50,000 yuan. My family bought a new building of 105 square meters after discussion. I moved in as soon as spring this year!"

"Every year in September under the seed buds, about 40 days after emergence, grow to 5 to 6 cm high, began to divide seedlings, when the seedlings grow to 10 cm when planting. The harvest begins in November and can be picked up until April of the following year. The yield of celery planted in the shed is about 20,000 jin per mu, and the income per mu is about 15,000 yuan." Chang Jiayu, the village secretary, said that an mu of vegetable greenhouses invested more than 10,000 yuan at a time, which can be used for 6 years, and the income is equivalent to the income of 10 mu of cotton. At present, there are more than 190 celery growers in the village, and the celery planting base in the arch shed alone reaches 580 mu. At the same time, standardized production, organic management, unified varieties, unified supply of means of production, unified watering and fertilization, unified pest control shall be carried out in the celery planting base in the arch shed.
