The Road to Wealth of Pu'an 's "King of Lentinus edodes"

"Puan, it's a good place. The climate here is suitable for the cultivation of Lentinus edodes, and the unique climate environment promotes the good quality of Lentinus edodes. If it is the peak picking season, we have to pick more than 1 ton a day and send it to the place while it is fresh. The big ones are sent to the two big merchants in Xingyi at the price of 10 yuan per kilogram. The small ones are processed by ourselves and dried into 'Castle Peak Lentinus edodes', and the sales are very good. " As soon as I heard that we were the staff of Pu'an Associated Press, Ji Zhongkai from Pingyang, Zhejiang Province, spoke eloquently about his entrepreneurial "classics" with a happy look all over his face.

Ji Zhongkai, who is nearly 50 years old, came to Pu'an to start a business in early 2014. He accidentally saw the famous "fish rice" place in Castle Peak Haimabazi and made up his mind to start a business and get rich. With the fastest speed, he registered and established the "Pu'an County Buyi Lentinus edodes Professional Cooperative" and signed a lease of more than 20 million mu of land from the surrounding villages. in a short period of half a year, his Lentinus edodes planting shed was built in this fertile soil from afar, neatly arranged and scattered, becoming a unique scenery of Haimabazi.

The cooperative is a key agricultural ecological planting demonstration base in Pu'an County, and it is a poverty alleviation project with a trinity of government, market and society, with a total investment of 30 million yuan, introducing two domestic advanced production lines and high temperature disinfection process. 100 tons of advanced equipment for cold storage, has successfully planted all kinds of non-toxic and pest-free organic shiitake mushrooms, up to the national quality standards, and obtained the brand of "Qingshan Lentinus edodes" approved by the State Trademark General Administration. The taste of Lentinus edodes is flat, neither warm nor dry, neither cold nor cold. It has the nourishing effects of skin care and anti-cancer, long bone moisturizing and stomach nourishing. It is an indispensable delicacy in people's dining table. The products are mainly sold to Shanghai, Nanning, Kunming, Guiyang and other places. Loved by people.

The cultivation of Lentinus edodes is a meticulous work, not to mention time-consuming, the technology must keep up. In order to grow Lentinus edodes well, he hired nine professional experts with high salary to be responsible for the cultivation of Lentinus edodes. At the same time, according to the Lentinus edodes harvest season to recruit the surrounding labor force, formulate an incentive mechanism, combined with workers' working years, work efficiency and so on to quantify, score and assess, and give awards according to grades. During the peak growing season of Lentinus edodes, there are as many as 100 workers responsible for picking, sorting and baking, solving the employment problem of the surrounding villagers.

"there are more than 200 greenhouses. Apart from transporting shiitake mushrooms to Xingyi, I spend the rest of my time in the greenhouse. When I see so many shiitake mushrooms, I am very happy and feel a sense of achievement." Ji Zhongkai said excitedly as he showed us around his greenhouse.

"any industry has its own risks." When I told him about planting risks, he said sadly. "in August 2015, it was going to be harvested from afar, but unexpectedly, a heavy rain flooded the whole seahorse dam, and the hope of a bumper harvest came to naught, resulting in a loss of more than 3.9 million yuan." In his hesitation, Ji Zhongkai's first thought was how to bring the enterprise back to life. while cleaning up the mess, he was thinking about how to bring the dead back to life. With a large amount of money invested in the early stage, there is no available funds to save the disaster. What shall I do? "I was really in an unprecedented predicament at that time, and I had to find a way to raise funds and pay close attention to the purchase of seed production. The leaders of the Castle Peak Credit Union were very enthusiastic. When they learned of the situation, they gave me a credit loan of 300000 yuan in time. " The capable man paused and said, "with this 300000 yuan, it's like a fish in water. I bought the mushroom seed in time and replanted it. Now the mushroom grows just right!"

When asked about his next move, his eyes were full of hope. "We have rented another 350 mu of land, and it is estimated that 1050 standardized greenhouses will be built, driving more than 500 farmers to become rich. We should adopt the model of 'enterprise + base + peasant household' and mobilize people around us to plant. We supply seeds free of charge, take charge of technical guidance, and recycle them with prices 5% higher than the market price, so that farmers can fully try, plant boldly, and really taste the 'sweetness' of Lentinus edodes. " He also has a bold idea: to develop green chicken farming on the top of the mountain, set up farm music, and focus on "stewed local chicken with shiitake mushrooms" to attract visitors from all directions.

On the way back, such images came to mind one after another: the neat shiitake mushroom planting shed in Haimabazi, the crowds picking shiitake mushrooms came and went, a scene of a bumper harvest; there was an endless stream of guests in the farm music; the pure fragrance of stewed local chicken with shiitake mushrooms was floating; the salesman of the insurance company was planning insurance for him.
