Zhang Wenxiao: a little Cordyceps sinensis paves the way to get rich

The vast rural areas can also become a wealth-making land and treasure pot for aspiring farmers. Zhang Wenxiao of Xunengtun Village, Chenzhuang Town, Xianxian County, found a way to get rich by planting Cordyceps sinensis in his hometown.

At Zhang Wenxiao's planting base, rows of neatly arranged white plastic pots, covered with plastic film, are covered with golden mushroom-like things. Zhang Wenxiao introduced that these golden little things are Cordyceps militaris. Despite their small size, they have high economic benefits.

Cordyceps militaris is a kind of fungus for both food and medicine, which has similar medicinal and nourishing effects with Cordyceps sinensis. It can protect the lung and kidney, stop blood and resolve phlegm, regulate body function, and mainly treat tuberculosis, hemoptysis, waist and knee pain, neurasthenia, diabetes and other diseases. It can increase white blood cells, prevent cancer, fight cancer, and reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.

Zhang Wenxiao, who had been running transportation before, started planting Cordyceps militaris after being introduced by a friend in 2014. Artificial cultivation of Cordyceps sinensis can be divided into many steps, such as planting wheat grain, plastic film mulching, grass picking, drying and so on. The density, temperature, humidity, light and ventilation of wheat grains should be properly controlled, which can not meet the standard will affect the quality of Cordyceps militaris, and then affect the economic benefits. Zhang Wenxiao suffered from technical losses in the first year of planting Cordyceps militaris.

Although he thought of giving up, his stubbornness of not admitting defeat in his bones made Zhang Wenxiao continue to walk on the road of planting Cordyceps militaris. In order to solve the technical problems, Zhang Wenxiao hired a biological expert from Beijing. through the on-site inspection and guidance of the experts, Zhang Wenxiao knew what the problem was and what to do. After repeated experiments, Zhang Wenxiao gradually found out the way to cultivate Cordyceps militaris. No problem with the technology, Zhang Wenxiao began to actively sell, through their own efforts, now the market has opened, the market is also smooth.
