Cen Jiaru: sing the song of pig tortoise getting rich

The picture shows Cen Jiaru and his olecranon turtles.

A grade 4 visually handicapped old man raised 85 sows and planted more than 10 mu of fields. there was no one else in the family to help except his wife. With strong perseverance, the old man engaged in the aquaculture industry and sold batches of piglets to earn a lot of money. In recent years, the disabled old man has started a characteristic olecranon turtle breeding industry in his back room. after admiring the names of the bosses in Nanning and Guangdong, he came to this disabled old man regardless of the long journey and bought the old man's olecranon turtles at a price of 1300 yuan per catty. The old man smiled happily from ear to ear. This disabled and self-reliant old man is the Yanran Cen family in Nabin Village, Nalao Town, Xilin County.

More than 10 years ago, Cen Jiaru, like everyone else, had bright eyes. But one day, his right eye suddenly went blind. At that time, it was very difficult at home. Some of the three children were in college and some were in junior high school. He endured the pain and did not go to the hospital for examination. It was not until all three children had jobs that he went to the hospital to see an eye doctor. But it is too late, the doctor diagnosed as late glaucoma, inoperable, is a grade 4 disability. Cen Jiaru has no regrets, because his efforts have been exchanged for the dream of three children to get out of the mountain.

Cen Jiaru is 58 years old. the eldest son and the second daughter work in the county, and the third son works as a school police at Nalao Union Primary School. All three children had jobs and all got married. In theory, Cen Jiaru went to the county seat with any child to enjoy himself. But the Cen family can not live without the mountains. He said that the air in the mountains is fresh, and it is his greatest wish to raise some livestock to spend his twilight years in peace. The eldest son, Cen Shangrong, deeply understood his father's feelings. in 2009, Cen Shangrong learned that wild olecranon turtles were sold in Yunnan. He took the opportunity of a business trip to buy 150 olecranon turtles from Yunnan to raise them for his father. He wanted to give his father a pleasure in his life. Who would have thought that Cen Jiaru, his father, had a special fondness for this kind of olecranon turtle. In less than a year, Cen Jiaru had mastered a set of techniques for raising eagle-billed turtles. None of the 150 died. In August 2010, I do not know which website posted the story of Cen Jiaru raising olecranon turtles, a boss from Guangdong personally came to Xilin to find Cen Jiaru's home and bought Cen Jiaru's larger olecranon turtles at a price of 1300 yuan per jin. The price scared Cen Jiaru's eyes wide, because he had never seen such a high price.

In the interview, Cen Jiaru told me that the so-called eagle-billed turtle is that its mouth is exactly the same as that of an eagle, which is crooked and sharp. After all, it's a wild animal. If you don't grab his tail, it will bite you down to the flesh of your finger. Cen Jiaru said: "olecranon turtles grow very slowly, and it would be nice for each turtle to gain an average weight of 0.5 jin per year. Because at 1300 yuan per catty, each eagle-billed turtle has an annual income of 650 yuan, which is 97500 yuan. " Looking at Cen Jiaru's calculation, the author can't help sighing. According to Cen Jiaru, he is the first one in Baise to raise olecranon turtles. He only relies on raising olecranon turtles, with a net income of more than 100,000 yuan. He said confidently that the next step is to expand 10 turtle ponds, leave six female turtles and two male turtles for breeding, breed more olecranon turtles and raise them, and create a Xilin characteristic breeding brand.

In 2011, Cen Jiaru used the money from selling turtles to invest in building a sow farm of more than 200 square meters. Some people say, "Lao Cen, Lao Cen, you don't think turtles can talk to you. You raise pigs again. Are you old?" Lao Cen laughed and said, "the pigs sing the sunset and the eagle turtles accompany me to spend the dusk." With the support of several sons, Cen Jiaru's sow farm was finally built according to national standards. In 2012, Cen Jiaru sold the first batch of 600 piglets with an income of more than 10000 yuan. This year, Cen Jiaru's sows have grown to 85 and more than 20 litters of suckling pigs. As Cen Lao relies on science and technology breeding, creating a road to wealth, in 2013, Cen Jiaru's farm was rated as "2012-2013 National Agricultural Technology extension subsidy Project County 'Science and Technology demonstration Household' by Xilin County Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau and Guangxi Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau respectively.
