The Misgurnus anguillicaudatus set off a wave of getting rich in Pingchang County, Sichuan Province.

Recently, the reporter in Pingchang County, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province Gaofeng Township Dongsheng Village Guangfa Loach breeding base saw Zeng Yongzhu, he was feeding Loach in the pond feed. "you can sell it to the market at the end of the month!" Zeng Yongzhu experienced two failures in breeding Loach and finally succeeded the third time. Today, the cooperative, led by his Loach farming garden, has led more than a dozen nearby villagers to cultivate Loach and become rich together.

Go back to your hometown to start a business and raise Loach

In 1988, Zeng Yongzhu changed his job from the army, worked as a clerk in the company, contracted hardware stores, set up a rice factory and a glass wire drawing factory, and later contracted construction business and developed real estate. Every time he returned to his hometown and saw a series of abandoned land, Zeng Yongzhu felt heartache: how did the land that our ancestors regarded as the "lifeline" become so worthless now? Many times he wondered: should he come back to this land and do something?

But what on earth do you do? Zeng Yongzhu is not sure. He successively went to Hunan, Chongqing, Chengdu and other places to inspect more than a dozen projects such as planting lemons, medicinal herbs and raising Loach. "through comparison and market research, the Loach culture project has good market prospects and high efficiency, and the fields, water sources, sunshine and other natural conditions in my hometown Dongsheng Village are also very suitable for Loach culture." Zeng Yongzhu said.

In February 2014, the construction of the once permanent Loach Pond began, with an investment of more than 3 million in more than three months, and the first batch of standard Loach Pond of nearly 100 mu was built. After more than 2 months of disinfection and purification, in August of that year, he introduced the first batch of more than 25000 Loach seedlings. "

Failed again and again, and finally succeeded.

The Misgurnus anguillicaudatus seedlings were put into the loach pond, and he went to the pool to see it several times a day like a baby. In fact, there were technicians and workers, and he was not needed for feeding and management. " The wife said. In this regard, Zeng Yongzhu said: "this is to work and start a business in my hometown. I am very afraid that my fellow villagers will be disappointed with me, so I should pay special attention to it." Zeng Yongzhu said.

What is terrible will come. More than a month later, more than 3 million seedlings have hatched. They do not want to die in less than ten days. At the moment, the villagers talked one after another: can raising Loach also make money? This is not like coming back to work, he is afraid that he is coming back under the guise of breeding to swindle funds for national projects.

"if you act in such a hurry, you don't have enough time to remove alkaline water from the loach pond; you lack skills and rely too much on others." After reflecting on the reasons for his failure, in February this year, Zeng Yongzhu once again invested 80,000 yuan to introduce a second batch of seedlings, but the outcome was the same as the first time.

He was a little discouraged by two failures. "failure is a common occurrence in strategists!" The second brother who taught encouraged him: "Don't keep on smashing pots and selling iron. You are far from this, are you?"

Zeng Yongzhu cheered up again. He put up a recruitment notice on the Internet and recruited technicians who raised Loach. Another 35000 fine seedlings were introduced in April this year, and more than 6 million seedlings were hatched in May. Now more than 5 months have passed, these Loach grow very well.

Set up a cooperative to lead the villagers to get rich

Zeng Yongzhu's success has also led the surrounding farmers to cultivate Loach. "more than a dozen farmers nearby have raised more than 40 mu of Loach and developed in groups. With my Loach farming Park as the leader, the Gaofa Guangfa Loach farming Professional Cooperative has been set up. The cooperative provides seedlings, technology, recycling products for scattered farmers, and unifies external sales, so as to maximize the profits of scattered farmers." Zeng Yongzhu said.

Villagers Zeng Sijian raised about 70,000 Loach seedlings per mu this year. "the cooperative provides Loach seedlings and technology free of charge, and has signed a purchase contract. With such a guarantee, many villagers have begun to raise Loach."

500 mu of land has been transferred in the early stage, but only 100 mu has been developed and utilized at present, and the remaining 400 mu of land Zeng Yongzhu is planned as follows: jujube trees are planted in dry land, and some chickens and geese are raised in a forest; in paddy fields, the cultivation mode of "rice + Loach" is adopted to develop paddy fields to raise Loach.
