The Story of Zheng Tongyun's Prosperity by Planting Camellia chrysantha in Qinbei District of Qinzhou City

"A large seedling can produce 40 kilograms of flowers a year, and it can earn more than 70,000 yuan by drying in the sun, and the profit is very considerable." Zheng Tongyun, a villager of Tunmeng Village, Dazhi Town, Qinbei District, looked at the golden scented tea in front and back of his house. In recent years, Zheng Tongyun not only bulged his wallet by planting golden scented tea, but also actively led his neighbors to shake off poverty and become rich.

The blade cuts out the "baby"

On November 22, the reporter saw in Tunmeng Village, Dazhi Town, Qinbei District, that golden scented tea was everywhere in front and back of a villager's house. Golden scented tea was flourishing and budding, becoming a beautiful scenery in the village. The owner of this piece of golden scented tea is 60-year-old Zheng Tongyun.

Zheng Tongyun told reporters that he is a thorough farmer who has planted litchi, red bayberry, citrus fruit, cassava and so on, but the economic benefits are not optimistic. When he planted hundreds of litchi and bayberry trees on his "reservation", he found wild golden tea on the mountain, and the flowers were very beautiful, but at that time he did not know the value of them. He thought that wild golden tea was only for viewing. In order to make room for fruit trees, he cut off a large amount of wild golden tea without thinking.

By chance in 2010, a company came to the local area to buy Jinhua tea. He found that the products purchased by the company were similar to the wild Jinhua tea at home, so he asked the other party to see if the wild golden tea had any economic value. Unexpectedly, the company spoke highly of it after seeing it, and bought a batch of wild golden tea flowers. Only then did he realize the true value of golden scented tea and retained the wild golden scented tea.

He consulted experts that their Tunmeng village is located in a wetland mountain belt, surrounded by mountains on all sides, Rain Water is abundant, the climate is warm, and it is very suitable for golden scented tea to grow, which reinforces his determination to grow golden scented tea and introduces it from the wild. At present, he has planted about 100 mu of golden scented tea, of which there are about 200 big seedlings.

Science and technology help to increase income

In the process of trial planting, Zheng Tongyun learned the growth characteristics of golden scented tea through continuous learning. Zheng Tongyun told reporters that all the golden scented tea they grow is managed with farm manure, and no chemical fertilizer is used in the field, so the golden scented tea produced is more ecological, non-toxic and non-chemical, and the taste of the product is pure and sweet.

"the 'tea queen' I introduced has relatively high economic benefits." Zheng Tongyun said confidently that the current price given to him by the acquisition company is 325 yuan / kg for fresh flowers and 2250 yuan / kg for dried flowers, which is very attractive.

In addition, through the Internet and consulting experts, he spent nearly 1 million yuan to buy advanced dryers, freezers, and the construction of factories, with complete production equipment. He sells not only fresh flowers, but also dried flowers to the market for maximum economic benefits.

Never forget your neighbors when you get rich

In the eyes of outsiders, Zheng Tongyun may earn millions of yuan a year in growing golden scented tea, but he says modestly, "one year's income is enough to eat." Today, Zheng Tongyun and his family live in a "small foreign house" and buy a car, leading a happy life.

At present, there are 16 households in Tunmeng Village to grow Jinhua tea with Zheng Tongyun, two of them are poor families. Zheng Tongyun not only sent them seeds and seedlings, but also used his spare time to guide villagers in the field to teach villagers how to grow and manage. Villager Zheng Jinggui told reporters that he began to grow golden scented tea in 2014 and currently has a planting area of about 8 mu. He also said that Zheng Tongyun not only provides them with seedlings, but also provides technical services, and he wants to continue to expand the planting area.

Through the help of Zheng Tongyun and the price of golden scented tea in the market, with the help of government departments, the planting area of Tunmeng village has reached more than 300 mu, forming an integrated village of agricultural production. Zheng Tongyun said that in the next step, he will also plan to set up cooperatives to lead more villagers to become rich.
