Order perilla to cross the sea to earn "foreign money"

Just past this winter, Zhong Zhiyan, a villager of Liudaogou Village, Huanren Manchu Autonomous County, Benxi City, did not hide at home in the winter. She and several villagers pulled farm manure to the purple perilla field beside the village to prepare for this year's purple perilla planting as soon as possible. " I never dreamed that the purple perilla we planted could be sold to Japan. It's said that we went there by plane!" Zhong Zhiyan said proudly.

In recent years, in order to lead the villagers to live a prosperous life as soon as possible, Liudaogou Village has successively developed characteristic agriculture such as golden sunflower and contracted rice. In 2015, the village signed a 5-year planting contract with a Japanese enterprise, and planted perilla introduced from Japan into the field in the spring of 2016.

According to introduction, perilla leaf is also called perilla leaf, is an annual herb, and has a fresh fragrance, often used to make traditional Chinese medicine, has the function of relieving cold, qi and stomach. It is also an essential ingredient for Japanese cuisine such as sashimi.

Because the purple perilla introduced from Japan is a new variety in Huanren area, every planting technical problem encountered in its growth process needs to be solved by ourselves one by one. Although perilla is not strict with natural factors such as soil and light, and its adaptability is very strong, in order to meet the production standards required by Japanese enterprises, farmers working in the field organized by the village carefully study the cultivation information of perilla sent back by Japanese enterprises at night, carry out pollution-free cultivation of perilla in the whole process, and insist on manual weeding and pest control to ensure the quality of perilla. When picking perilla leaves manually in autumn, they strictly implement the picking standards of Japanese enterprises, keeping only the round leaves of perilla, and drying and storing them in drying equipment at about 40 degrees Celsius. " Since spring, we've been taking evening classes to learn how to take care of perilla. Now, we farmers are becoming more and more educated. Finally, we haven't disgraced the country." Zhong Zhiyan laughed from ear to ear.

In autumn, 40 mu of perilla in the village brought unexpected harvest to the villagers. The village sold perilla leaves to Japan at a price of 60,000 yuan per ton, and then brought more than 200,000 yuan of economic income to the villagers.

Last spring, Kang Baobo couple will home 1 mu of land contracted to the village, The couple and the village more than 20 villagers together to work in the purple perilla field,"At most we can earn 180 yuan a day, This year we earned 30000 yuan." Kang Baobo said.

"Last year, Japanese enterprises were very satisfied with the quality of perilla leaves in our village. This year, we will expand the planting area of perilla leaves to 100 mu, so that more villagers can get rid of poverty and become rich!" village director tian jinlong said excitedly.
