Xiong Mengna's business card

Xiong Mengna, female, born in 1990, was born in Tongliang Village, Shigu Town, Xiangtan County. Graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Hunan Institute of Engineering, once worked as a brand sales supervisor in a shopping mall in Xiangtan. After resigning, he went back to his hometown to start a business, set up a chicken farm-Xiangfeng chicken professional cooperative, and developed the famous local farm music brand-"Dingfeng Baoye Farm". The main projects include scattered native chicken raising in the original ecological mountain forest, peak characteristic farm music, peak bacon, high mountain clear water fishing ground and so on.

Story

On April 9, peach trees rushed to the peak of Tongliang Village, Shigu Town, Xiangtan County, and there was a light rain in the sky.

"blah, blah." At 10:00 in the morning, in the foothills, chickens were crowing everywhere. Thousands of green-footed country chickens and Finch pheasants rushed from the woods to their hostess. The hostess's name is Xiong Mengna, a post-90s girl.

"the chicken I raise is completely original. Eat the insects on the mountain, as well as the grain chaff planted by farmers at the foot of the mountain, rain and dew and mountain springs are the drinking water for chickens. After eating the native chicken I feed, many people say that the meat is good and tastes delicious. " Introduced by Xiong Mengna.

After graduating from college, Xiong Mengna started selling leather goods in a shopping mall. Because of her outstanding performance, she was promoted to sales director in just a few years and became a white-collar worker in everyone's eyes.

"at that time, I was a little tired of the nine-to-five life, and I always felt that I could do more when I was young." After resigning, Xiong Mengna came up with the idea of returning home to start a business. But what she did made her confused.

"in such a good environment at the peak, more and more city people will come to play on holidays, and every time they come, they will bring back some native chickens, bacon, vegetables and fish. Why don't you try having a farmhouse fun? maybe it's a way." Mo Cong, branch secretary of Xingwang Village, Shigu Town, must wake up Xiong Mengna.

At first, the family was not optimistic about Xiong Mengna's business plan. Xiong Mengna insisted again and again, painstakingly doing ideological work with her parents and younger brother, and finally in 2013, her "chicken dream" began to come true.

Raise more than 1 million yuan, build 1.5 kilometers of roads, transfer 11 mountainous areas, 1200 mu as a bulk breeding base, build 80 square meters of nursery rooms, and build 4 simple chicken sheds, totaling more than 800 square meters. "when I see the completed chicken coop and the chicken seedlings, I feel full of motivation."

The ideal is very plump, the reality is very bony. Xiong Mengna's road to raising chickens is not plain sailing. "the first batch of young chicks died a lot, and they were really depressed in those days."

In order to master the skills of raising chickens, she went to Hengyang, Xiangxiang and other places alone to learn modestly from the older generations of local farmers. With the help of Xiangtan Women's Federation, she also participated in the "precise Poverty Alleviation, Women's colleagues" peasant girl SYB (Beijing) entrepreneurship training study. "with spiritual support and technical enlightenment, I am going more and more smoothly and more and more confident on my way to starting a business."

At present, Xiong Mengna's chicken farm produces 75000 finished chickens a year, with an annual income of more than 500,000 yuan. In addition, she has also expanded the Alpine Qingshui fishing ground, produced traditional peak bacon, and set up farm music, with an output value of more than 1 million yuan last year.

"in the next five years, cooperatives will focus on building a rural tourism industry and establishing a new demonstration base for ecological leisure farms. If conditions permit, I also intend to use the Internet to promote and sell my products. " Xiong Mengna frankly said that the peak area is remote, known as "Xiangtan Xizang", the road is not smooth, self-driving tourists can only enter the village on foot, and access to goods is often blocked. What is more difficult is that the network signal here is extremely weak, close to a "paralyzed" state, and is often lost with the outside world, so it is difficult to obtain all kinds of information in time.

"I believe that these practical problems will be solved soon. Along the way, I thanked the government, the Women's Federation and the local villagers. They continue to encourage me to move forward, I can only continue to work hard, after all, this is my root. " Xiong Mengna said. (Xiong Mengnatu / Liu Yi, Cao Hui, Jiang Rui and Zhao Yonghua)
