Xu Youguo: the dream of getting rich under the mushroom umbrella

At dawn, Xu Youguo, who lives in Jiuying Village, Baihetan Town, Qiaojia County, gets up early and comes to his greenhouse to check the growth of mushrooms. As with his own children, he watched the growth carefully, sensing the temperature with his hands to see if the mushrooms were "cold and frozen."

Two years ago, Xu Youguo's elderly mother fainted and lost consciousness due to stomach bleeding and severe cervical spondylosis. In order to cure her mother's illness, the family sought medical treatment everywhere, from Qiaojia to Kunming and even Tianjin... Her mother's illness improved, but the family owed more than 500,000 yuan in debt. In order to repay his debts, Xu Youguo returned to his hometown and started his old line of construction carpentry.

By chance, Xu Youguo saw such a video on the Internet_pollution-free mushroom planting training organized by Beijing Agricultural Broadcasting School, which made him see hope in his quiet life. Therefore, Xu Youguo contacted by telephone and set foot on the road to Beijing to study.

To the training class, Xu Youguo found that because he only had primary school education level, the teacher said a lot of knowledge can not understand. He found the teacher who gave the lecture and told him about his specific situation. The teacher was moved by his tenacious spirit and told him that the shortcut to learning was direct experimental operation.

Although Xu Youguo's education level is low, he still studies seriously, records carefully, and learns the growth characteristics of edible fungi at each stage. After the training, Xu Youguo returned home and began to learn to cultivate edible fungi. He bought materials, watched videos, visited and consulted everywhere. If he didn't know anything, he called to consult teachers and slowly laid the foundation for his own entrepreneurship.

After continuous exploration and many cultivation experiments, Xu Youguo has cultivated edible fungi such as Flammulina velutipes, Pleurotus ostreatus and Pleurotus eryngii. The pollution-free edible fungi he planted were in short supply in the market, supplying four farmers 'markets in Urban area of Qiaojia County at a wholesale unit price of 3 yuan per catty.

At present, Xu Youguo's investment has been withdrawn, he is thinking about expanding the scale, as soon as possible to repay debts. Xu Youguo said, At the beginning when he encountered difficulties all rely on relatives and friends to reach out to help, Now he has slowly started, Also hope to drive the surrounding masses and relatives and friends to develop together, Everyone together on the road to prosperity.
