Since growing edible fungi, he has easily earned 50,000 yuan a month.

Hou Dongsheng, a man who has become rich and able to grow mushrooms, Hou Dongsheng, who has access to everything in Xiyan Town, Yicheng, Shanxi Province, is a hard-working man. after returning to his hometown to start a business and grow shiitake mushrooms, he ran to the mushroom base to pick mushrooms and mushrooms. Hou Dongsheng's Lentinus edodes production base covers an area of more than 20 mu, and 8 shiitake production greenhouses are lined up. After 5 months of careful management, the 30,000 sticks of Lentinus edodes in the original mushroom shed have reached the standard of mushroom production, and 8 Lentinus edodes out of the shed are growing gratifying and fragrant.

With an income of 50,000 yuan in January, wholesalers scrambled to buy 10000 sticks sold by Hou Dongsheng in May, with an income of 50,000 yuan. now the market for Lentinus edodes is relatively good, with a first-class mushroom of 7 yuan, and a peak of more than 9 yuan last year, with considerable prospects. Now it is the stage of producing mushrooms one after another, and the daily output is about 500jin, because the supply of Lentinus edodes in summer is relatively tight, such as wholesalers in county towns, Qinshui, Jincheng, and other places are door-to-door purchases, and the average daily output in the mature stage can reach about 1500 jin.

Is there anything magical about Hou Dongsheng growing shiitake mushrooms with double insurance for getting rich? In Hou Dongsheng's own words, he has two magic weapons. The first magic weapon is the introduction of new varieties. In order to further increase the yield and quality of Lentinus edodes, Hou Dongsheng first introduced the capsule strain-Lentinus edodes L808. This is a variety that other local farmers have never heard of. Hou Dongsheng not only introduced, but also used his own professional knowledge to give full play to his expertise in making his own strains. This makes the shiitake mushrooms planted by Hou Dongsheng's family different.

Hou Dongsheng's success in setting up a company and developing together was the envy of the surrounding villagers, and everyone came to learn from it one after another. Hou Dongsheng felt that instead of fighting on his own, it would be better for everyone to work together. Hou Dongsheng established the company, adopting the model of company + base + farmers, providing free technical guidance, equipment, and venues to farmers, uniformly responsible for sales, and driving surrounding farmers to develop high-quality, efficient, ecological and safe agriculture.

The construction of cold storage, the market ups and downs are no longer afraid of a large number of people, large scale, the production industry, the seasonal products can not be sold out, let Hou Dongsheng worry. This time, Hou Dongsheng came up with another magic weapon to get rich-- building a cold storage. Hou Dongsheng invested more than 40, 000 yuan to build a cold storage of 40 cubic meters, which can store more than 7000 jin of shiitake mushrooms at a time. Cold storage is built to keep Lentinus edodes fresh. Now door-to-door business is not easy to do, if there is no cold storage, shiitake mushrooms out of you to the market, people will lower the price, but if there is a cold storage, shiitake mushrooms can be picked in advance for cold treatment, so as to prevent shiitake mushrooms from deteriorating in the process of transportation.

Dare to fight and dare to plan under the lead of Hou Dongsheng, now a number of farmers have joined the company. The production of Lentinus edodes is booming, and the output and quality have reached the expectation. But Hou Dongsheng is not satisfied, this brave post-90s young man has outlined a blueprint for the development of his career. Hou Dongsheng said: on the one hand, the number of mushroom sheds should be developed to 20, leading the villagers to further expand the planting scale, strive for excellence in packaging and sales, and show regional characteristics. With its excellent quality, Xiyan Town has become the largest production base of Lentinus edodes in North China. Let Xiyan Lentinus edodes go out of Yicheng and go to the whole country. On the other hand, increasing the variety of edible fungi, such as Pleurotus ostreatus, straw mushroom, double spore mushroom, Flammulina velutipes and so on, to meet the diversified needs of the market. At the same time, experiments on rare medicinal strains such as Ganoderma lucidum and Polyporus umbellatus are also being carried out vigorously.

The introduction of new varieties is definitely a good idea to start a business and get rich. To get rich and start a business, the first thing to think of is to make sure that no one has anything. The first magic weapon is to introduce new varieties and improve the quality of our agricultural products. Dealing with the risk doesn't mean everyone has to fix the freezer. Because of the large investment, not everyone can bear it, but the idea of using cold storage to deal with market risk is really worth learning.
