"Sister Strawberry" allows the masses to plant "rich berries".

"Since strawberries came on the market in November last year, they have often been too busy to eat, so they invited more than a dozen sisters from Qianjin Village and other villages to help." Speaking of the busy situation now, Zhai Yage of Qianjin Village, Zhaocun Town, Xingping, wiped his sweat and said happily.

Speaking of Zhai Yage, the local people can be said to know.

Zhai Yage, born in 1968, was born and raised in Xingping. After marrying Qianjin Village, Zhaocun Town, she fought with her husband Li Yingjie who returned home as a soldier. A few years ago, she and her husband had done fruit delivery, had a wide network of contacts, and knew some strawberry planting experts. In 2011, she contracted 55 greenhouses in Chang 'an District, carefully planted strawberries, and the income was good.

With long-term planting, the land needs to be turned over, and various local costs rise, Zhai Yage began to ponder how to improve the quality and efficiency of strawberry planting. When she learned that the 334 National Highway to be widened in Xingping City was only more than 2000 meters away from her hometown Qianjin Village, she thought that if strawberries could be planted here, they could attract tourists from self-driving tours to pick and increase income. However, at the thought of land problems, she made difficulties again. Can farmers easily agree to transfer land for large-scale planting? What she didn't think was that the masses of Qianjin Village also saw the prospect of strawberry planting, and also realized that "to plant strawberries well, one household must not succeed, only to concentrate the land for large-scale planting." In this way, with the strong support of the villagers in Qianjin Village, Zhai Yage's strawberry base was built.

With the strong support of the villagers of Qianjin Village, Zhai Yage transferred 128 mu of land from farmers in 2016, introduced 6 new strawberry varieties such as Zhangji, Hongyan and Snow White, and built 12 strawberry greenhouses with high standards by applying organic "set" fertilizer, strawberry seedling refrigeration treatment, honey natural pollination, flowering regulation and other new technologies.

Because the varieties she introduced have the advantages of favorable transportation, good taste, sweet taste and bright color, etc., the sales are honest and hospitable, thus attracting merchants from Xi'an, Xianyang, Gansu and other places as well as several large wholesale markets to purchase and pick. She advocated the establishment of "Shaanxi strawberry technology sales exchange group", the group has reached more than 100 people, she planted, sold self-produced strawberries at the same time, using this platform to help peers solve technical problems and sales problems, we are also affectionately called her Xingping "strawberry sister".

As a result, the reputation of "Strawberry Sister" quickly spread in the industry, and people went to her planting base for sightseeing and picking. On March 12, Zhai Yage held a strawberry picking competition in "Maweipo Veterans Farm Fruit and Vegetable Base in Xingping City." At the picking site, the reporter saw that each picking basket only charged 50 yuan fee, less than 10 minutes, more than 200 picking baskets were distributed to tourists. Seeing red and big strawberries, many tourists can't help but taste a few first,"It's sweet, too fresh, pick it yourself is different ah!" Aunt Yue, who came from Xi'an, took her granddaughter to pick and tell her spring stories. It was enjoyable. Master Cheng, who opened a fruit shop in Wugong, spoke of Zhai Yage's strawberries and sighed: "She not only planted good strawberries, but also the products were never adulterated. It can be said that they were consistent inside and outside, and the top and bottom were the same. Now I can sell 25 to 30 kilograms more strawberries every day than before."

When it comes to planting strawberries, Sister Strawberry has endless words."It's not easy to do agriculture, and it's greatly affected by the climate. Therefore, strawberry planting must be refined and standardized management, variety selection, organic fertilizer ratio, temperature and humidity regulation, flowering period regulation, extension of fruiting period, etc. None of them can be careless. If something goes wrong, what can I do with my sisters 'wages? They also expect to get their wages back to support their families!"

Speaking of future development, Zhai Yage said, Next step, She will also develop strawberry wine, Strawberry jam and other products processing, Multi-channel increase income, Strawberry industry do a good job and strong, In this way can really help the people in their hometown, Let strawberries really become the masses income "Rich berry."
