Zhang Lixin sells ten thousand red duck eggs a day.

With the Dragon Boat Festival approaching, Zhang Lixin, a farmer in Mongolian Manchu Township in Liushutun, Kangping County, was very busy. after a phone call, many customers inside and outside the province urged to buy her family's red duck eggs, selling an average of 6,000 to 7,000 eggs a day, with tens of thousands sold on June 2 alone. The price of each ordinary Salted Duck Egg on the market is 1 yuan, but her family sells duck eggs for 3 yuan, which is still in short supply.

On June 3, the reporter came to Huagu Village, Liushutun Township, and saw that the Huagu Reservoir, with a water depth of only more than 4 meters, was rolling in waves, and some farmers lived scattered around the reservoir, without any factories, which was definitely the original ecology.

At the Huagu Red and Yellow Duck Egg Professional Cooperative, the reporter saw Zhang Lixin, director of the cooperative, pickling duck eggs in the courtyard. She skillfully put salt and yellow mud on the duck eggs, and then put plastic bags on them and put them into cartons. In the duck shed, ducks are eating Potamogeton crispus, a kind of aquatic plant rich in carotene, which is the "secret" of duck egg hearts.

Zhang Lixin has been raising ducks for 14 years, and the red duck eggs produced by her family are sold to all prefectures and cities in the province. "at first, I thought it was close to the water, and it was convenient to raise ducks. I didn't expect that many duck eggs were red-hearted, which suddenly opened up the market." Zhang Lixin said. Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected situation in the sky, and the "Sudan Red incident" occurred in 2006, which also affected the sale of her red duck eggs. However, after being commissioned by a professional agency to detect and analyze her red duck eggs, no "Sudan red" was detected. However, surprising carotene and other organic substances were detected. For this reason, Zhang Lixin decided to apply for trademark protection, and the following year, the trademark of "Red Duck Egg of Potamogeton crispus" was approved by the state. After this incident, Potamogeton crispus red duck eggs became famous.

On weekdays, her ducks are active on the shore, eating small fish and shrimp, shoal water plants and so on.

The person in charge of Liushutun Township told the reporter that 13 members joined the Flower Ancient Red and Yellow Duck Egg Cooperative and followed Zhang Lixin to raise ducks to get rich. Liushutun Township will increase support for the duck industry, help farmers expand the market and promote sales, so that the scale of Kangping red duck egg industry will be further expanded, driving more farmers to become rich.
