Yushu flowers outside, green indoor. When the reporter came to the greenhouse shed of Cui Xuedong, an employee of Changbai Mountain Forest Industry Group Daxing Gully Forestry Co., Ltd., he was cutting and packing the tender thorns and preparing to deliver them to the customers who ordered them.

"If wild vegetables are on the market at this time, not only will they enrich consumers 'dining tables, but they can also be sold at a good price!" At present, Changbai Mountain Forest area is still covered with snow, but Cui Xuedong's greenhouse is full of spring: big leaf celery, small root garlic grow happily, a root thorn bud stem out of the bud.

"I spent the Spring Festival in the greenhouse this year, and the first crop of thorns was sold out around the fifteenth of the first month." Cui Xuedong said to reporters while selecting boxed thorn sprouts,"Now people pay attention to healthy diet, like to eat wild vegetables, especially fresh wild vegetables out of season, although the market price exceeds 60 yuan per kilogram, but more popular than big fish and meat."”

Cui Xuedong, 43, is in his second year of planting thorn buds in a greenhouse. On the basis of the success of planting thorn buds in the experimental greenhouse last year, this year he used all 200 square meters of greenhouse.

"The thorn sprouts I am planting now are only three-quarters of the greenhouse area, and the remaining 50 square meters are the experimental areas for new varieties. Try planting four or five kinds of wild vegetables such as environmental protection big leaf celery, small root garlic and motherwort. Now that the logging has stopped, there are many resources available on the mountain. If we can use the greenhouse to try and plant more varieties, we will have an additional road to prosperity." Cui Xuedong said with a smile.

On the transformation road after the commercial logging of natural forests in key state-owned forest areas in Northeast China was completely stopped, Cui Xuedong did not wait for dependence. While starting his own business to become rich, he also led two employees to plant wild vegetables in greenhouses. Each greenhouse could bring 40,000 yuan of income to employees and explore the road of creating wealth without "cat winter" in winter.

At present, the staff of Dangshuhe Forest Farm, while fully exploiting and utilizing the under-forest resources and developing the industries of Korean pine fruit forest, forest frog, ground-planted agaric and Chinese herbal medicine planting, constantly broaden the way to become rich and extend the green industrial chain. The entrepreneurship rate of 40 employees reaches 100%. In 2016, employees have reserved 10,000 indigo seedlings for cultivation test.
