The "Flower Road" to get rid of Poverty and become Rich

On June 20, in the greenhouse of Haiyang vegetable Co., Ltd., Ludian County, more than 10 kinds of red, pink, purple and white carnations bloomed brightly, charming and enchanting. In the greenhouse, admiring tourists take pictures while admiring flowers and taking pictures. Hu Dequan, the person in charge, said that after starting the flower planting industry, just renting land in the early stage has brought a lot of benefits to the villagers. The cost of renting an acre of land is 1000 yuan a year. During the flowering period, the villagers come to weed, pick flowers and sort. The minimum wage is 1800 in January. Looking at the successful trial planting of carnations this year, Hu Dequan said happily that it is necessary to increase the scale of cultivation, so that the characteristic flower breeding industry has also become a "sweet cake" for villagers to get rich and become a "flower road" to shake off poverty and become rich.
