The bamboo shoots dug up are thicker than the arms in thick cotton-padded clothes.

Gaoliang Town is the largest town in Deqing County, where there are many mountains and hills, full of iron-rich red soil, is a "hotbed" for bamboo shoots to grow. The farmers here take advantage of the unique natural conditions to grow pure natural green products-- rich bamboo shoots, and embark on the road of getting rich and increasing income. Recently, in the morning, the reporter went to learn about their experience of getting rich.

Pure natural green products that can be eaten raw

In the morning, the reporter, led by Yao Daliang, a bamboo shoot grower, came to him to plant bamboo shoots. Yao Daliang's bamboo forest is nearly 1 km away from the foot of the mountain, along the mountain road up the mountain, the roadside vegetation is green, the air is fresh and refreshing.

About half an hour later, the reporter and his party came to Yao Daliang's bamboo forest. Looking ahead, the mountain bamboo forest is lush, each bamboo extends straight upward, the bamboo pole is firm, and the bamboo leaves are smooth and green. Pointing to this well-growing bamboo forest, Yao Daliang proudly told reporters: "this is pure natural green food without fertilization or spraying, and it basically needs no care."

The reporter saw that rich bamboo shoots were planted on soft red soil. At this time, Yao Daliang observed the land, saw the protruding and cracked soil, waved an iron pull and began to dig bamboo shoots. In less than a minute, a rich bamboo shoot with a length of more than 30 centimeters and a diameter of about 10 centimeters emerged. Yao Daliang dug out the rich bamboo shoots and scratched it. "it's 3 kilograms heavier than the arm size." The fellow villagers exclaimed.

Yao Daliang said, "the bamboo shoots are crisp and refreshing. I'll cut them for you to taste." "can rich bamboo shoots be eaten raw?" A fellow outsider was very surprised. Yao Daliang peeled and washed the rich bamboo shoots, cut them and gave them to everyone to try. "it tastes sweet and refreshing, a bit like sugar cane." It is really a green natural food to know for the first time that bamboo shoots can be eaten raw. " Ms. Huang, who is also with her, said.

"online and offline" make concerted efforts to let the rich bamboo shoots out of the mountain.

Yao Daliang has been growing rich bamboo shoots for eight years, from two or three mu of bamboo forest to seven or eight mu now. He said that every year from mid-January to late April is the growing and harvest season for rich bamboo shoots. A bamboo tree can grow more than 10 kilograms of rich bamboo shoots, and the largest rich bamboo shoots can weigh 4 kilograms and 5 kilograms. The output of Yao Daliang's bamboo forest is about 500 kilograms per mu. Based on the sale of 20 yuan per kilogram of rich bamboo shoots, his annual net income is 60 or 70,000 yuan.

Yao Daliang said that he chose to plant rich bamboo shoots because he had tasted the benefits of seeing his brother-in-law Deng Guofei grow rich bamboo shoots. Deng Guofei is a farmer in Libao Village, Gaoliang Village Committee, Gaoliang Town. When he came back from the army, he saw that his ancestors were growing Gaoliang bamboo shoots. This rich bamboo shoot is sweet and refreshing, so it is called "the treasure of spring bamboo shoots" by the locals, and the market demand is large and the prospect is broad, so he began to plant rich bamboo shoots in 2005, and now the planting area has reached more than 20 mu.

Deng Guofei told reporters that many people in their village planted rich bamboo shoots, and Deng Shaoquan, a big grower, also planted more than 100 mu. "with so many races, aren't you worried about market saturation?" In response to the reporter's question, Deng Guofei replied positively: "No." Rich bamboo shoots are a kind of healthy food. in addition to being sold to local and Zhaoqing, the products are also sold to Foshan and other places through acquirers. " He said that local restaurants and restaurants basically buy bamboo shoots, and two years ago they sold them to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Beijing and other places through e-commerce platforms. At present, the average daily online sales order is about 150 kilograms, the usual price is 20 yuan / kg, when the most expensive can be sold as high as 60 yuan / kg.

In addition, the villagers also used the Wechat platform to promote, and Deng Shaoquan went to Beijing for national promotion, allowing Gao Liangfu bamboo shoots to walk out of the mountains and onto the dining table of thousands of families.

By planting rich bamboo shoots, villagers buy new cars and start new houses.

Yao Daliang told reporters that since planting rich bamboo shoots, the family has built a four-story new house in the polder town and bought a van worth more than 100,000 yuan.

Deng Guofei also used the income to build a three-story new house and bought a private car after planting rich bamboo shoots for three years. He said: "I didn't want to go out to work a long time ago. I only work hard to earn a few thousand yuan a month, and I have to leave my hometown. It's better to run my own bamboo shoot business on my doorstep."

Like Yao Daliang, there are still many growers who grow rich bamboo shoots to get rich. According to statistics, at present, there are nearly 1,000 bamboo shoot growers in Gaoliang Town, Deqing County, with a planting area of more than 3000 mu and an annual output value of 20 million yuan. Planting rich bamboo shoots has become a good way for local farmers to get rich and increase their income.
