The young man in Yexian County earns more than 200,000 a year by selling walnuts to get rich.

In the northwest of Shuangheying New Village, Rendian Town, Ye County, walnut trees in a walnut orchard are taking off their green clothes and entering hibernation.

This is no ordinary walnut tree. "this garden has 13 mu. I have earned more than 200,000 yuan this year by planting and selling walnuts, and I still have 60,000 to 70,000 yuan of goods at home." On November 8, walnut orchard owner Liu Yanzhao told reporters.

In Liu Yanzhao's home in Shuangheying New Village, there are exquisite boxes in the cabinets with pairs of walnuts with deep veins and hard shells. "I planted all these walnuts. There are 13 varieties, including four buildings, Baihua Mountain, Man Tianxing, Wang Yong Guanhao, Lion's head, and so on. A pair with a good appearance can be sold for three or four thousand yuan and a couple with an average appearance for several hundred yuan. I heard that I have succeeded in playing hemp walnuts. Not only do people from Pingdingshan come to buy them, but even people in Zhengzhou and Beijing often come to buy them. " Liu Yanzhao opened the box and explained.

Liu Yanzhao, 32, began to play with walnuts in 2008.

In 2009, Liu Yanzhao spent more than two months buying more than 500 saplings in the mountainous areas of Jiyuan and other places.

"they are saplings, but they are actually roots, which are grafted or budded on them after they survive." Liu Yanzhao said that walnuts should have a good appearance, and grafting should be carried out. The branches that are grafted in spring are called scions, and the branches grafted in summer are called bud grafting.

Scion and bud grafting are not only the key to the growth of walnut, but also the biggest investment period. Liu Yanzhao went to many places in Hebei for this reason. When he heard that there was a walnut player in any place, he drove there. Due to the small quantity, it can only be grafted in boxes and in batches. Each time, he packed it carefully in cardboard boxes, each of which was light but expensive. "if you hold a box gently, it often costs 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and the highest one costs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan." He said.

After painstaking efforts and an investment of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan, in 2013, more than 400 walnuts on 13 mu finally survived.

During the National Day this year, the number of people who went to Liu Yanzhao to buy walnuts was at least one or two sets a day, and on the most day, he received six or seven groups of guests. After each group of guests leave, they are basically not empty-handed. Each pair of walnuts costs as little as 500 or 600 yuan. In seven days, the highest pair sold for 5000 yuan and earned more than 200000 yuan by 2015. During the Golden week this year, he reaped another 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. He said confidently that this year's income should be better than last year, which is the peak season for Wentong walnuts around the Spring Festival.

Wen playing walnut not only led the Liu Yanzhao family to the road to get rich, but also led the people around. He said that at present, some people in Xindian and Lushan in Yexian County began to plant.

Liu Yanzhao revealed to reporters that his next step is to set up a cooperative to allow more people to grow walnuts and expand the industry. in addition, he can also provide scions and technology, and the scope of walnut pairing will be wider and more in the future. While making more people rich, it can also attract more customers to buy.
