"Prince of Stone Frog" Miao is reasonable: "one mind" makes a way to get rich.

On the hillside next to the activity room of Shuangjing Village, Fa'er Township, Shuicheng County, Liupanshui City, Guizhou Province, there are three rows of low houses with one person tall, and the faint sound of "goo goo" draws people to a stop. The reporter couldn't help going in to find out.

Although the low house is slightly dark and damp, the layout of the "island in the middle of the lake" is still bright: several water hyacinth plants are floating in the circular pool, and the land in the middle of the pool is also covered with mossy tiles and stones, with water onions and aquatic irises in the cracks. The naughty Miao opened a tile reasonably, and more than 10 black stone frogs jumped into the water in an instant.

These stone frogs and imitation wild frog houses are reasonable for 28-year-old villagers of the Tianbian Group. He told reporters that this year's adult frogs can be sold for 50, 000 yuan, plus the sale of frog seedlings, the annual income is expected to be about 100000 yuan. Miao, who is famous for frogs and gets rich through frogs, is the "prince of stone frogs" in the eyes of the local people.

People who know each other know that Miao Li is "single-minded", and the title of "Stone Frog Prince" is not easy.

In 2004, Miao Li, who graduated from a poor technical secondary school, went out to work alone, went to Guangdong, also went to Zhejiang, went to an electronics factory, and worked as a textile worker. "although I can make some money, I am tired of drifting around." In 2010, Miao, who longed for a career of his own, reasonably gave birth to the idea of raising stone frogs.

Whose baby in the village is thin and weak, get a stone frog to get fat immediately, and have high nutritional value; many people in the city often look for stone frogs to eat, and the market is tight. Shuangjing village already has many wild stone frogs, indicating that the environment here is suitable for stone frogs to grow. After some deliberation, Miao reasonably felt that raising stone frogs was "helpful."

Just do it. The confident Miao reasonably consulted the relevant information on the Internet, and then went to the ditch to catch stone frogs with his father Miao Zhongqiao. Miao reasonable, who started a business for the first time and did not have any experience and technology, soon tasted the bitterness of failure. After all, stone frogs are high-end breeds that are picky about humidity, temperature and food, and are not as easy as raising chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep.

"I didn't raise the frog well, so I spent a lot of money." Miao reasonably told the reporter that the stone frog found hard in the first two years was either gone or dead. Every month, we also buy more than 100 jin of yellow powder insects from the outside to feed frogs, at a cost of 25 yuan per jin, except for infrastructure, labor and transportation costs, spending more than 2500 yuan a month.

"I can't raise it myself, and it's silly to throw money into it."I might as well go to work and save some money at the end of the year."... In the face of the villagers' questioning and ridicule, the stubborn Miao reasonable did not give up, he recorded every attempt and worked hard to improve his breeding skills.

Miao's reasonable move has attracted the attention of the outside world, and stone frog breeding has also been recognized and supported by the Liupanshui Municipal Committee of the Chinese people's political Consultative Conference and the Committee of Agriculture: it has subsidized it to inspect and study in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where aquaculture technology is more mature, and arranged special agricultural technicians to dock with it.

With the help of the local government, Miao's reasonable stone frog farming saw benefits in 2012, and joined with seven other villagers to set up a professional cooperative for planting and breeding. Today, the cooperative has a breeding scale of more than 30,000 stone frogs, which can be sold for 150 yuan per catty, and the market is in short supply. Under the reasonable drive of Miao, some villagers also began to try to raise tower rabbits, snakes and other "rare things."

"there are tricks to getting rich, but there are no shortcuts. Starting a business in rural areas sometimes has to be 'single-minded' like Xiao Miao. " Yang Kai, a cadre of the Liupanshui Municipal Committee of Agriculture and deputy mayor of Fa'er Town, said that characteristic farming like Stone Frog, which has good economic benefits and has no problem in the market, is the first choice for many migrant workers returning home to start their own businesses. However, these industries have higher requirements for capital and technology, it is difficult to "try", need the support of the government, but also need the persistence of entrepreneurs.
