Two "post-70s" realize the dream of green agriculture again

Go down to the coal mine and study automobile repair. When they were teenagers, Wang Wenliang and Jia Wenqiang, who had just graduated from junior high school, left their hometown to start a business; they leveled land, built greenhouses, and planted mushrooms. When people reach middle age, aiming at the good prospects for the development of green agriculture, they will return to the vast rural areas and expand new undertakings.

On December 14, in Yiyuankou Village, Jiaoying Town, Haigang District, there was a cold wind blowing in the air, but in several new greenhouses by the Hetao, it was full of spring, and more than a dozen employed "Tian nanny" were picking ripe shiitake mushrooms. "you see how good the quality of our shiitake mushrooms is. Customers are waiting for more than 3 yuan a catty. This young man is here to buy Lentinus edodes." Wang Xueliang, director of the Tuoxin Family Farm in Haigang District, said happily, "although the output is not high now, the shiitake mushrooms on the farm have been designated to be sold to the Haiyang vegetable Wholesale Market and the Lentinus edodes purchase market in Yangmadianzi Township, Jianchang County, Liaoning Province, and the market prospect is very good."

This is the second batch of shiitake mushrooms picked and sold on the farm, which is a treat for Wang Wenliang and his partner Jia Wenqiang, but how hard-won it is.

After graduating from junior high school, Wang Wenliang of Banchangyu Village and Jia Wenqiang of Yiyuankou Village went out to start their own business. both of them had nothing to do with agriculture, one engaged in car repair and the other dealt with mining all day. Although they are children from the countryside, it is the first time for both of them to grow mushrooms. When they started their business again, they both had a lot of drive and painstaking efforts to level the land and build greenhouses, but they were separated by mountains, and they had no idea how to grow mushrooms at all, and the first batch of mushrooms sold to them.

"the first batch of Lentinus edodes was picked and sold on October 15 this year, because it was planted for the first time, the quality was not very good, and the price did not go up. 1200 jin only got more than 2300 yuan. Although we looked back on the money for the first time, the quality problem remained like a heart attack. " Talking about the scene at that time, Wang Wenliang still can't let it go.

After that, improving the quality of mushrooms became a top priority in the field. "if we don't understand, we'll learn, and we'll ask someone to help." They hired technicians with high salary from Yangmadianzi Township, Jianchang County, Liaoning Province, to be responsible for technical guidance and training in the field, and to optimize and adjust the temperature and humidity of the greenhouse and the nutrition ratio of bacteria sticks according to the opinions of technicians and the standards of green products. Soon, these measures slowly took effect, the growth of mushrooms became better day by day, and the production in the field was gradually on the right track.

When it comes to the cause of partnering with Lentinus edodes, Wang Xueliang, 40, said: "in fact, it was a phone call from Jia Wenqiang. He told me about the state's support policy and the good prospect of growing Lentinus edodes. I was moved and answered."

"I heard about this in the town government, saying that the state is supporting the Lentinus edodes planting project, which is very promising. You can try to do it. In mid-March this year, the town organized interested villagers from various villages to visit Pingquan in Chengde. After coming back, I thought about it several times and thought I might as well give it a try. He contacted his classmate Wang Xueliang and hit it off. " Jia Wenqiang, 42, got in touch with Wang Wenliang, and the two classmates who had long wanted to expand their new business got together again.

Just do it. At the end of March this year, they inspected the site selection, transfer of villagers' land, and prepared infrastructure materials for greenhouse construction in Yiyuankou village. After that, the whole river loop boiled, excavators, loaders, trucks, the sound of the machine rumbled, leveled the land, set up the greenhouse. By June 2, in a short period of more than two months, six high-standard and high-specification greenhouses with a height of 4 meters, a length of 130 meters and a width of 9 meters have sprung up, with a planting area of nearly 2 mu in each greenhouse. Then one after another purchased a full set of equipment for making bacterial sticks: shredder, mixer, rod loader, sealing machine, high-temperature antivirus boiler, only miscellaneous wood bought 200000 yuan at a time. The production of bacterial sticks began on June 30th, with 5000 to 6000 sticks a day. There was no delay in entering the shed as soon as it was done. 215000 bacterial sticks were placed in 6 greenhouses.

"now roughly speaking, this project has 96000 yuan of state support funds, which are mainly used for the construction materials of the greenhouse; we have invested 1.5 million yuan in the rest of the project." Wang Xueliang smacked his lips.

Standing on the flat land of Hetao, Wang Xueliang is full of confidence: "Lentinus edodes is high in protein, low in fat, rich in a variety of amino acids and vitamins, and is very popular in the market. Next year, several more greenhouses will be built to expand the scale of production. In addition, we are also prepared to set up co-operatives to drive the villagers to work together for unified management, acquisition and sales. No matter how big the output is, we plan to do deep processing of the products and make use of the Internet to sell them so that the products can travel all over the country. "
