Sun Guodong: the characteristic planting shop is the way to get rich.

On the morning of November 7, Sun Guodong carefully examined the growth of the "baby" in his own land in Weizhai Village, Xixian County. After a turn, the post-90s college student's face could not help showing the joy of the harvest: "look at this scene, if nothing happens, the net income of 3000 yuan per mu of land is no problem."

The treasure in Sun Guodong's eyes is the Pinellia ternata produced in Xixian County, which is regarded as a treasure among similar medicinal materials. In order to distinguish it from other Pinellia ternata, the medical and medical circles specially marked it with the word "interest" before the word Pinellia ternata. In the four years of Qing Jiaqing, this has been recorded in Xizhou Chronicles. The 1979 edition of Cihai listed Pinellia ternata as a specialty of Xixian County. In 2004, Pinellia ternata was registered with national mark of origin. However, due to a variety of reasons, the planting amount of Pinellia ternata decreased sharply since the 1960s, and even faced the embarrassment of extinction.

Because his father Sun Gang always insisted on planting a small amount of Pinellia ternata, Sun Guodong came into contact with it earlier. In order to carry forward this specialty of his hometown, after being admitted to Henan Agricultural University, Sun Guodong consciously took Pinellia ternata as the key research direction. In the meantime, he also got to know Feng Wei and Ma Hao, two students with common interests in the same county.

During the college period, the three people not only worked hard to learn professional knowledge, but also used the holidays to grow a number of Pinellia ternata varieties in Zhengzhou, Shangqiu, Xixian and other places. With constant comparison and analysis, they are more and more fond of Pinellia ternata. "knowledge + skills + experience" has strengthened the confidence of the three people to plant Pinellia ternata scientifically.

After graduation, the three people returned to their hometown with common ideals and tried to plant Pinellia ternata on a large scale in Weizhai Village, Baitudian Township, Xixian County.

At first, they used limited funds to transfer 40 mu of land in advance. With technology, ability to study and willingness to bear hardships, the three people not only tasted the sweetness in the first trial on a large scale, but also reaped more recognition and support from the villagers.

"when I first asked me to transfer the land last year, I was still a little hesitant. Can the fresh graduates grow the land well?" Uncle Yang Chengzhang, a 73-year-old poor family, said, "A year later, the transfer fee of 5 mu of land was given 4000 yuan, and usually I went to help them pull grass and so on. I have an income of 50 yuan a day, which is much better than finding people to farm the land. I want to rent the rest of the land to them this year. "

In addition to transferring 4 mu of land to Sun Guodong, 35-year-old Sun Si also has his own "small abacus" in mind. In addition to earning wages, the most important thing for her to do casual work with Sun Guodong is to learn the planting skills of Pinellia ternata. Last year, she had an income of more than 2000 yuan on a trial planting of 6 cents of land, and this year she boldly expanded her planting to 7 cents per mu. "planting Pinellia ternata is much more aggressive than I used to grow peanuts. I'm not going to go out to work, so I'll learn to plant with the three of them. " Sun Si, who hopes to let the children live a better life on their doorstep, said happily.

Up to now, Sun Guodong has transferred more than 100 mu of land and set up a professional cooperative for totem planting in Xixian County, which has led more than 20 farmers to plant Pinellia ternata. The seeds with fruits of Pinellia ternata planted by them this year have already been booked by customers in Gansu, Hebei, Anhui, Henan and other places. The local government has declared key support projects for industrial poverty alleviation in Xixian County; relevant departments have begun to conduct preliminary research on totem cooperatives; and the relevant person in charge of the Poverty Alleviation Office said that as long as they have a strong ability to become rich, they will actively give help.

"We will continue to adhere to the road of combining industry, learning and research, and expand the breeding scale and planting area of Pinellia ternata as soon as possible, so as to drive more villagers to increase their income and become rich. When the conditions are ripe, develop a series of products of Pinellia ternata. We must let Banxia regain its former glory. " Facing the future, three new young farmers are full of confidence!
