The boy planted Gegen on the road to becoming rich.

"Pueraria lobata not only has high economic and medicinal value, but also is easy to cultivate and resistant to drought and barrenness. It can be planted on the hillside in front and back of the house, and one-year Pueraria lobata can harvest at least 2000 kilograms per mu." On December 17, 2015, at the Pueraria planting base in Longtang Village, Baijie Town, Naxi District, Luzhou City, Sichuan Province, a young man was happily explaining to the author the benefits of planting Pueraria lobata while putting the dug kudzu root into the back basket.

The young man, Zou Bin, returned to his hometown in 2012 to start a business and began to plant Pueraria lobata on a large scale. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. After Zou Bin planted 1000 kudzu seedlings in the fields at the gate of his hometown in Sichuan, he went to the fields every day to water them, watch them, fertilize them, check for defects and make up seedlings, and trim vines. In order to master the planting technology of Pueraria lobata, he also searched the Internet for relevant planting management experience, learning while groping.

After the success of the trial, Zou Bin began to cultivate excellent kudzu seedlings in 2013 to solve the seedling restriction problem. Half a year later, he successfully cultivated tens of thousands of prosperous seedlings by cutting strong bud nodes and cutting them to sort out the disinfected soil.

The yield per mu of Pueraria lobata is 2500 kg in one year and 5000 kg in two years, and the longer the planting time is, the greater the yield is. In the face of at least 500 tons of fresh Pueraria lobata listed on the market every year, as well as its rich starch, protein, calcium, iron and other trace elements and amino acids, Zou Bin joined hands with a Pueraria processing factory in Chongqing in time. Pueraria products have been expanded from a single kudzu powder to kudzu tea, kudzu wine, kudzu noodles and other products, extending the kudzu industrial chain. Because kudzu root itself is a traditional Chinese medicine, Zou Bin's puerarin series products quickly became popular as soon as they came out of the mountain gate, occupying 90% of the Luzhou Pueraria market share, but also exported to Chengdu, Chongqing, Shanghai and other cities, with an annual income of more than 10 million yuan, a full 10-fold increase in value compared with fresh Pueraria lobata.
