Shiyou in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia held a potato competition, he is not to sell potatoes. Many people have no idea about his product. He wants potatoes to drink! Potatoes have been the daily food of the people for many years. Having made potato equipment, sold potato starch and grown potatoes, Shi, who has dealt with potatoes all his life, never thought he would drink potatoes. Look at the Shiyou in Inner Mongolia, how to drink business opportunities from potatoes!

What attracts everyone today is not the acrobatic performance, but the ordinary people of these performances. And the thing that played, it turned out to be a potato.

For those who take part in potato throwing activities, as long as they can throw potatoes more than three times, they will get a grand prize of one thousand yuan. Seeing that it is easy for others to throw, everyone wants to have a try, but in fact, it is not the case when throwing it.

Citizen: so? Does this count?

At this time, someone volunteered to increase it to three potatoes and timed the performance.

Host: wow, the master is among the people. What Mr. Shi said really appeared. 21 seconds.

Her performance immediately aroused the competitive spirit of the audience, and the lady in blue was not convinced. We have to compete with this guy on the court.

Host: she is getting better.

When the challenger was defeated, she simply set a new record in this round of competition, won the biggest award and won the first prize of more than 1,000 yuan.

His name is Shi you, and he is the one who brought these potatoes. He not only plays with potatoes, but also grows potatoes. Potatoes are the treasure of making money in his hands. More and more people want to play with potatoes, and at this time, Shi you told everyone that these boxes are full of drinkable potatoes. Can you drink potatoes? This subverts the understanding of many people at the scene.

Citizen: potatoes to drink? I don't know that yet.

Citizen: can you still drink potatoes? You can't drink.

Citizen: I can't drink. I don't know how to drink it.

Citizen: I haven't heard of it. What can I drink? Drink starch?

Citizen: I have eaten and never drank for so many years. I haven't practiced this thing, so I don't know.

Some people say that potatoes are undrinkable, while others begin to guess how to drink potatoes.

Citizen: I think you can squeeze juice?

Citizen: soak and drink?

Citizen: boil the potato powder into soup and add some noodles to it to make it thicker.

We eat potatoes almost every day. What's the taste of drinking potatoes? There is really a fresh one at the scene.

Citizen: I just drank a bottle, a small bottle.

Interviewer: how does it feel?

Citizen: it tastes like (potatoes). It's good, it's good.

This is the potato juice that Shi has developed and can drink. The same jin of potatoes, made into a drink of potato juice can increase seven times! Many people have not thought of things, how did Shiyou turn it into his own business opportunity?

Shi you, a native of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, has been engaged in starch equipment manufacturing for more than ten years since he was young. In 1999, the food industry was developing rapidly and there was a great demand for starch. Shi has built an starch factory with annual sales of more than 10 million in four years. Because of his judgment of the market and his unique vision, his enterprise soon became the leading enterprise in Wuchuan County.

Shi you: at that time, the starch processed by our model was very easy to sell, because the quality was guaranteed. One ton of starch can earn more than a thousand yuan.

But in 2005, Shi you suddenly wanted to do something that invested all his savings, which no one locally dared to do.

One day in 2005, Shiyou went to the starch factory for routine inspection and found a lot of unwanted potatoes next to it. In order to ensure the quality of starch, there are also cases of throwing away bad potatoes. But Shi has found that there are more bad potatoes than before. Recently, farmers' potato production has also decreased, Shi you thought that there may be something wrong with the seeds.

Shi you: with a good grasp of the seed project, the potatoes planted by farmers are of good quality and high yield; if the seeds are not good, they will degenerate and age year by year, there will be more viruses, and the yield will be low.

Almost every family in Wuchuan County grows potatoes, but everyone uses a batch of seeds for many years. They produce and sell themselves, they don't want to spend more money, and they don't believe that production can really be expanded. Shi you feels that the demand for seeds is so great that he can't miss this business opportunity.

Reporter: the local is a big potato county, but no one does it?

Shi you: less has been done, less has been done in the past, but more has been done in recent years. I can't make much money, but I have to do this project.

In 2005, Shi transferred 40,000 mu of land, visited farmers and promoted his own seed potato. He chose several farmers, sold them his seeds at a low price, and promised to recycle potatoes for better or worse at a high price of five cents. When it comes to the harvest season, the benefits of more than a dozen farmers have been greatly improved by changing seeds.

Zhao Aisheng, a farmer in Sanshengtai Village, Wuchuan County, Hohhot: just like a mu of land used to produce 3,000 jin. With his virus-free seed potatoes, he can produce about 4,000 to 5,000 jin. Increase, I can't count the proportion.

Interviewer: how much more do you earn?

Peasant household: according to the market price, earn an extra 400 to 500 yuan per mu, 500 to 600 yuan.

Other farmers have seen that the output has increased and made more money after some people have changed their varieties. Finally changed the habit of not changing seeds for three years, and bought seed potatoes from Shiyou one after another.

This is Shiyou's seed potato warehouse. 30,000 tons of seed potatoes can be stored in 20,000 square meters. When you don't sell it to farmers, you have to put it in this big warehouse one by one. The automatic temperature control device ensures three to five degrees to keep them from freezing or sprouting. And these long threads and needles can give them a breath of fresh air.

Interviewer: this is different from the potatoes we saw before? The kind you eat for yourself.

Shi you: you like the bigger ones, don't you? This is a kind of potato, usually if it is too big, it will go according to the commercial potato. The ones that are too small have become processed potatoes.

Interviewer: all the big ones are seed potatoes.

Shi you: yes. Like this, it's usually heavy. This one is too big, this one is the best, the one in your hand. When he mechanized his homework, he planted the whole one. Even if one, like this, we still have to cut.

After watching the seed potato, Shi you specially took the reporter to see his seed potato base in Wuchuan County.

Shi you: this is a potato base, all of them. You can see it on both sides. There are about ten thousand mu in this area.

Reporter: ten thousand mu.

Shi you: this is a pointer sprinkler irrigation (machine), all self-propelled.
