Migrant workers become "goose commander"

"the goose, the goose, the song to the sky." In the livestock and poultry market, white geese are covered with treasures, goose feathers are popular in the down market, and the prices of goose necks, claws and goose meat are also very high. Dou Xianjun, a villager from Hexing Village, Yaoli Town, Huoqiu County, returned to his hometown to start a business. This spring, he raised more than 1000 fine breeds of white geese. By raising white geese, he embarked on the road to wealth, which impressed his neighbors and called him "goose commander."

Dou Xianjun, who is not confused in recent years, left his hometown to work in Jiangsu and Zhejiang a few years ago, excluding rent, utilities, living expenses, and so on, there is little left at the end of the month. According to acquaintances, many people have made a lot of money in farming and planting in their hometown, and some have even become small bosses wrapped around millions of dollars. Dou Xianjun wanted the outside world to be no more wonderful than in his hometown, so in 2013, he decided to return to his hometown to start a business.

After returning to his hometown, Dou Xianjun went to the far and near farms many times to learn classics. after a year of practice and exploration, Dou Xianjun initially mastered a set of experience in raising geese. In the spring of 2015, Dou Xianjun bought more than 800 goslings of fine breeds from a large farm in Shuyang, Jiangsu Province, and more than 300 local white geese from Fuyang. After buying back the goose fry, Dou Xianjun built a goose shed on the ridge of his pond. During this period, he also participated in the new farmers' breeding training courses held in the town and village many times, and learned a lot of popular science knowledge of farming. Through careful and scientific breeding, goslings have been growing well.

More than a thousand white geese are scattered in the vast expanse of rice stubble fields, like white flowers embedded in the fields, becoming a beautiful scenery in the local rural fields. In the autumn harvest season, the rice grains scattered in the fields can be used for geese to find food, which can save two months of artificial feed, not only reduce the cost input, but also increase the amount of exercise of the geese. Today, the white geese raised by Dou Xianjun weigh 5 to 6 kilograms each.

The weather gradually cooled down, but the more than 1,000 white geese raised by Dou Xianjun began to sell well, mainly in the local market. The surrounding areas competed to buy fresh goose meat to marinate "preserved geese," and some of them were sold to Bengbu and other places, with an estimated net income of more than 70,000 yuan.
