At 5: 00 am the day before yesterday, in Qianjiazhuang, Xiyan Village, Dongbaihu Town, Zhuji, more than 400 meters above sea level, the wind was chilling to the bone. On the top of the mountain, the lights of a row of greenhouses of Dendrobium candidum professional cooperative between Xiyanyunjian were on. "customers in Pinghu, Jiaxing have ordered 16 jin of fresh sticks, so they have to pick them up quickly and send them over." Zhou Feng, a 29-year-old disabled man, told reporters while picking fresh Dendrobium.

Since last year, the price of Dendrobium has plummeted, and the "Xiyanyunjian" Dendrobium not only did not reduce the price, but also attracted old customers all over the country to order. "on the basis of ensuring the quality of Dendrobium and expanding the market with the help of Internet marketing, 'Xiyan Yunjian' has made its own way in the fierce market competition." Chen Guogang, deputy mayor of Dongbaihu Town, said.

Go back to the countryside to plant "fairy grass"

Zhou Feng is hard of hearing. After graduating from technical school, he worked as an electrician in a machine tool factory. In 2011, when he chatted with "Fa Xiao" Li Tao, he collided with the entrepreneurial spark: his hometown had a good ecological environment and engaged in ecological agriculture together. At that time, Li Tao was a builder. In 2012, the two men returned from the city to their hometown, Xiyan Village, Dongbaihu Town, and scraped together 500000 yuan to plant Dendrobium.

"Dendrobium is particularly demanding on the environment. If it is planted in the surrounding fields with crops, once the pesticide is sprayed, the smell of pesticides will affect the quality of Dendrobium." So they chose to plant Dendrobium on the top of the mountain.

Although they have been farming since childhood, they have no experience in growing Dendrobium. "holding the seedlings like bean sprouts, my hands trembled for fear of accidentally breaking them." Zhou Feng said that 80,000 seedlings were taken out of the dish, washed and buried one by one, and the excitement is still deep in my memory. That night, the two stayed in the shed on the top of the mountain for the night.

Plant Dendrobium and sow hope. Since then, the two young men have become the busiest young people in the village. In summer, the day is dawning, watering and pulling grass; in winter, worried about the heavy snow crushing the greenhouse, check Dendrobium late at night. In the end, even agrotechnical experts came to learn from the 95% survival rate.

In order to grow the best quality, they waited until the third year to harvest.

Supply falls short of demand without price reduction.

"Xiancao" is planted in the mountains, but its sales depend on the Internet. The two young men made thoughtful people and "broadcast" the details of the planting process on Wechat moments in succession. In late autumn 2015, Dendrobium entered the harvest season, many Wechat friends became customers, and the "fairy grass" of the two young men were also sold all over the country.

At that time, the two were as busy as a top every day. When I got up at five or six in the morning, I didn't have time for breakfast. I went into the greenhouse to pick fresh sticks. I was really hungry. I chewed a few fresh sticks to satisfy my hunger. "because many local customers place orders on the same day and pick up the goods on the same day, time is tight." The two were either busy in the greenhouse or on the way to delivery.

Qianjiazhuang is at the top of the mountain more than 400 meters above sea level, driving from the top of the mountain to Dongbaihu Town is a panshan highway, and the steepest place is a turn of nearly 180 degrees. Once, Zhou Feng drove a van to deliver goods and collided with a bus at a sharp corner. Zhou Feng and his car fell into a rocky ditch several meters deep. Fortunately, the car was destroyed, but Zhou Feng was safe and sound. In that year, the two brothers bulged their pockets and got a new car. When the business is busy, many villagers are invited to help, which increases everyone's income.

Last year, under the influence of the market, the price of Dendrobium fell sharply, but the price of Dendrobium candidum "Xiyanyunjian" did not drop, and old customers still scrambled to order. "when I saw it in moments, I was very moved, and this Dendrobium was really good. I bought it all by myself." Mr. Yang, a customer from Hainan, bought 30 jin the year before last and another 50 jin since last year.

Today, their Dendrobium has entered a high-yielding period. "Last year, the yield per mu exceeded 300 kilograms, and this year it is expected to be more." Zhou Feng said.

At parting, handsome Li Tao and Zhou Feng revealed their little secrets to reporters. Li Tao has just become a father, and Zhou Feng is also in love.

I have to say: people who take life seriously, happiness is always scattered all over the place.
