In order to help villagers shake off poverty and become rich, the Provincial Development and Reform Commission selected and dispatched Wang Haidong, first secretary of Nanrong Fu Village, Duozhuang Town, Mengyin County, to overcome many difficulties to develop the cultivation of Lentinus edodes, by allowing poor families to pay dividends directly, hiring poor families to work, and so on. Let the poor families take off the "poor hat" and increase the collective income of the village by more than 30,000 yuan a year.

Just after the Spring Festival, in Nanrong Fu Village, Duozhuang Town, Mengyin County, poor personnel Yang Yuanting came early to the shiitake mushroom planting shed to pick Lentinus edodes. He is satisfied with the income of 70 yuan a day. In addition to working in the greenhouse to earn money, Yang Yuanting can also receive dividends on the income of Lentinus edodes. As the first secretary helped to build the shiitake mushroom shed, the terms of dividends to poor households were also included in the contract agreement. Song Bingqi, a contractor, said: "when the farm is idle, poor households can pick mushrooms in the shed or thinning the buds of shiitake mushrooms. The wage is 70 yuan per person per day." After the operation of the greenhouse, the dividend taken out is 400 yuan per household per year. "

At the beginning of the development of Lentinus edodes, first Secretary Wang Haidong also encountered many setbacks because of growing Lentinus edodes. The main difficulty is not only the villagers' lack of awareness of Lentinus edodes, but also the technical difficulties. At first, in order to save costs and attract more villagers to join, some simple arch sheds were used. Unfortunately, the winter of 2015 suffered a heavy snow rarely seen in decades, and the greenhouse was collapsed.

The villagers, who themselves are slightly skeptical, do not agree with it even more. But Wang Haidong did not give up. He organized villagers to go out to learn mushroom planting techniques, and invited experts from the province to teach on the spot, thus once again building up villagers' confidence in growing shiitake mushrooms.

"although we have encountered many difficulties, we have decided to promote and develop the Lentinus edodes industry. This time, we adopted a modern Korean-style double-decker shed. In addition, we found the young college students in the village to conduct in-depth study after returning to the village, and let them be responsible for the cultivation and management of shiitake mushrooms. " Wang Haidong said. Soon, a new shiitake mushroom planting greenhouse was built, and the villagers were enthusiastic. At present, 30, 000 bacterial sticks have been put into four high-standard double-layer greenhouses, achieving an annual output of 45000 jin of Lentinus edodes and increasing the collective income of the village by 30, 000 yuan.

Today, the shiitake mushroom industry in the village is on the right track and has signed acquisition contracts with large enterprises. With the further expansion of the scale of Lentinus edodes, first Secretary Wang Haidong coordinated the construction of shops along the street, led by Lentinus edodes to promote the development of rural service industry.

"build four more such greenhouses, and then strive to gradually expand and strengthen our Lentinus edodes industry to form a rolling development." Wang Haidong said with confidence.
