Ma Lujun: grow dates and knock on the door to get rich

On October 30, the reporter came to Hutuo Village, Longquansi Township, Xingtai County to interview the rich expert Ma Lujun. Dressed in camouflage clothes, he was taking several workers to build a new storage tank at the foot of the mountain.

"all the dates have been picked this year, and more than 40,000 jin of dates have been ordered by merchants in Shanxi and sold for more than 200,000 yuan." Ma Lujun took the reporter to the storeroom and took out his own "purple crown jujube" for the reporter to taste. This jujube is the size of an egg and tastes crisp and sweet.

"this is a new variety introduced from the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences and is very popular in the market." Ma Lujun told reporters that the local woman jujube can be sold for 1 yuan per kilogram, and his "purple crown jujube" can be sold for 10 yuan per kilogram, so there is no worry about the market.

"in addition to good varieties, there should also be good management, watering, disinfestation, grafting, and tree pruning. There is only one thing, and the work on the mountain can't be done all the year round. " Ma Lujun said that one of the biggest and most difficult things is to divert water. To this end, he built three large storage tanks in the mountain farm, drilled two deep wells, set up more than 500 meters of power lines, and installed five water pumps. Now more than 40 mu of mountain farms have all become irrigated land, ending the harvest. In order to get the jujube out of the mountain, he built another kilometer of dirt road.

"over the past five years, more than 200,000 yuan has been invested in the infrastructure construction of the mountain farm. Now that the state has contracted the mountain farm to the villagers for a long time, it is only with this good policy that it dares to invest money in the mountain farm. " Ma Lujun said that he got up at 5 o'clock every morning and worked on the mountain farm for more than ten hours. Once the project was on schedule, he lived on the mountain for a month. It is Ma Lujun's way of getting rich that he can only get rich by enduring hardships.

I saw that the road service made a fortune. Many nearby villagers came to visit and expressed their willingness to plant. "the villagers are willing to plant, and I will provide the grafting code for free." Ma Lujun said that only with scale can we become bigger and stronger. To this end, he established the Purple Crown Fruit Professional Cooperative. He plans to build the mountain farm into a picking garden, set up farm music on his doorstep, and make a fortune with the villagers.
