King Bletilla introduced "Golden Phoenix" to help villagers get rich.

Bletilla flowers like a blossoming phoenix, very beautiful.

the bletilla striata seedlings just planted this year have sprouted new roots, and xu qifang has a bottom line in her heart.

Yingfeng Town, Shiquan County, Ankang City, Shaanxi Province, located on the Ziwu Ancient Road, is rich in land resources and has good original natural scenery. It was once an important commercial station in history. However, with the rapid development of modern transportation and information, Yingfeng, which is relatively far from the county seat, has gradually been marginalized. How to break the shackles and find a way out for development, the town Wutong Village after 70 beautiful women dare to think and dare to do, invest nearly one million to develop bletilla striata and other traditional Chinese medicine industries, took the road from urban elite to rural mud leg.

Bletilla striata is a kind of expensive Chinese herbal medicine, wild resources are very few, artificial propagation has just entered the exploration stage in recent years, because of the high price of seedlings, coupled with Bletilla striata on the growth environment requirements, few people dare to plant. Xu Qifang used to deal in drugs and was extremely optimistic about the market prospects of Bletilla striata.

In 2015, after many investigations, Xu Qifang resolutely gave up her comfortable life in the city and went back to her hometown Wutong Village to develop Bletilla striata planting. She successively transferred more than 60 mu of land and invested nearly one million yuan. Under her careful management and protection, Bletilla striata grew well everywhere.

Because bletilla blooms like a phoenix flying, very beautiful, Xu Qifang often calls her love grass "golden phoenix", and in the eyes of the villagers, she flies out of Wutong Village more like a "golden phoenix", and now flies back.

Why do I want to go back to Wutong Village for development? Xu Qifang said: "I walked out of the mountain from here. The mountains and rivers here nurtured me. Now I come back not only for my own development, but also to attract good projects and let the villagers get rich together with me." In 2016, driven by Xu Qifang, 6 households were planted with more than 20 mu of Bletilla striata in Wutong Village and Sanguan Temple Village, and more than 40 households were planted with Astragalus membranaceus in adjacent Xinzhuang Village, with more than 80 mu of demonstration planting.

Xu Qifang calculated an economic account for us: Bletilla striata is generally planted for 3 years, and the output value per mu can reach 2000 jin. According to the current market price of 60 yuan, the output value per mu can reach 120,000 yuan. The output value of more than 60 mu of Bletilla striata planted by her will reach 8 million yuan. However, Astragalus membranaceus planting investment is small, quick effect, can be dug in the same year of planting, the output value per mu can reach more than 3500 yuan, very suitable for poor households to plant.

At present, Xu Qifang has declared a family farm, registered and established Shiquan Quanfeng Herbal Planting Co., Ltd., and signed product purchase and sales contracts with a number of pharmaceutical enterprises. Next step, she will set up Wutong village traditional Chinese medicine planting cooperative, she wants to drive more villagers, especially poor households to become rich.
