Lu Guangxian: Peacock knocks on the door of getting rid of Poverty and becoming Rich

The peacock is a very beautiful bird. It can not only be watched by people, but also help poor families shake off poverty and become rich. Lu Guangxian, a poor family in Yousheng Village, Miao Town, Shangsi County, knocked on the door of getting rid of poverty by raising peacocks last year.

In June 2016, Lu Guangxian, a poor family, went to other places to learn the skills of peacock breeding and management. after learning, he bought more than 30 peacock seedlings and some adult peacocks and returned to his hometown Yousheng village to raise and start a business with the financial support of his relatives and friends.

A few days ago, the author went to Lu Guangxian's home for an exclusive interview.

"how many peacocks can you keep at most? How many are there now? " Lu Guangxian, a villager of Yousheng Village, Miao Town, Shangsi County, said: "more than 100 at most, and now there are more than 30."

Lu Guangxian told me that peacocks can fly, and it is difficult to raise them. It is necessary to be skilled, patient and take good care of them. In addition, peacock seedlings are more expensive. Generally speaking, a peacock seedling costs 600 or 700 yuan, and a slightly larger one costs nearly 1,000 yuan. If you are not careful, you will lose all your money. Lu Guangxian also told me that once when he entered the farm and forgot to close the door, two peacocks took the opportunity to fly away and never return. Because of a negligence in breeding, Lu Guangxian lost more than 2000 yuan at once.

"where do you usually sell your peacocks?" "sell it to Vietnam." Lu Guangxian said.

According to Lu Guangxian, the biggest risk of raising peacocks is the market. If the market is not smooth, it will lose money. The longer the peacock is raised, the more valuable it becomes, and his peacock can be sold for 3,000 or 4,000 yuan each. As a result of scientific management, up to now, Lu Guangxian has sold more than 100 peacocks.

Villager Lu Guangxian said to the author: "I started breeding peacocks in June last year, and by the end of the year, I not only earned back the cost, but also made a profit of more than 10,000 yuan."

Lu Guangxian succeeded in raising peacocks, and he revealed to me that after he made money in raising peacocks, he increased his efforts in raising peacocks, and now the more than 30 peacocks in the stock column are raised again with the money earned.

"how much money have you earned since you raised peacocks?" Villager Lu Guangxian said, "if you deduct the cost, you will still earn more than 30,000 yuan."

"did you get out of poverty in 2016 mainly by raising peacocks?" Villager Lu Guangxian said, "Yes, I relied on raising peacocks to lift me out of poverty last year!"

Last year, Lu Guangxian got rid of poverty by raising peacocks. At present, there is a poor family in the village who has studied peacock farming with him and has raised more than 10 peacocks. Lu Guangxian said that it is necessary to lead more poor households to engage in characteristic farming and embark on the road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.
