Zhang Ying, a veteran of Tunchang, grows mushrooms to drive the villagers to become rich.

"you can earn 10,000 yuan a month in three sheds, but it's just getting started." This morning, at a Xiuzhen mushroom planting base under a dense rubber forest in Wushipo Village, Tunchang, Zhang Ying, a veteran of the post-80s generation, calculated an economic account for the reporter.

In the blue greenhouse around him, carefully planted mushroom bags are arranged neatly, each flanked by white Xiuzhen mushrooms trying to get out of the mushroom bag.

In the operating room, more than 10 workers are racing against the clock to install mushroom bags.

It is these Xiuzhen mushrooms in the cultivation greenhouse that bring Zhang Ying the hope of getting rich.

Born in 1981, Zhang Ying has been a soldier for 16 years. In December last year, after leaving the army, he returned to Wushipo Village, Wupo Town, Tunchang County, to start a business and become rich, and lead his fellow villagers to become rich together.

At the suggestion of the mushroom technician, Zhang Ying and his wife Chen Hua began to prepare to grow Xiuzhen mushrooms in Taiwan. With the discharge settlement fee and a sum of borrowed money, Zhang Ying invested nearly 300000 yuan to build more than 300000 square meters of factory buildings, including operating rooms, disinfection rooms, and breeding rooms, and three greenhouses for planting Xiuzhen mushrooms. In May this year, the construction of the plant was completed and production began in June. Subsequently, Zhang Ying established the Sanfeng Edible Mushroom Professional Cooperative, which absorbed 5 members.

It is understood that a greenhouse of 60 square meters can grow 2000 packets of Xiuzhen mushrooms, each of which costs about 8 yuan from loading wood to planting in the greenhouse. After 25 days of planting, it can be picked and recycled. Each bag can be picked for four months. From the beginning of picking to the end of picking, one bag can grow Xiuzhen mushrooms about 3.2jin.

As the mature Xiuzhen mushrooms are picked every four hours, Zhang Ying and Chen Hua have to take a break in shifts and keep picking.

Independent breeding, disinfection, planting, picking, a set of procedures down, Zhang Ying and Chen Hua are always very busy, but they are always happy, because "the mushrooms in the greenhouse are all money."

"these are not worried about the market at all. now they are basically sold to Tunchang County, which is generally sold through the wholesale route, which is calculated to be sold at 7 yuan per jin." Chen Hua said.

After packing, sterilization, breeding, and entering the shed, the cultivation of Xiuzhen mushrooms in a greenhouse often takes 15 days, especially the packing process, it is a race against time. Because of the shortage of manpower, Zhang Ying and Chen Hua began to recruit villagers to work in the village.

Chen Hua said that each worker can get a salary of 10 yuan per hour, work 10 hours a day, work an average of six days a month, and earn 600 yuan a month.

"when we don't do farm work in our spare time, we can come to work, and the wages are settled on the same day." Huang Xiulan, a villager who is working, told the reporter happily.

"many villagers are eager to try to grow Xiuzhen mushrooms, but they are afraid of the risks. if the government can give support, it is estimated that many villagers will start planting. At present, the villagers feel that it is also very good to take a part-time job. They can earn some pocket money without affecting the farm work. " Lin Zhiwen, secretary of the party branch of Wushipo Village, said.

According to Zhang Ying, they are expanding the planting greenhouse, which has now expanded to five. He plans to expand the greenhouse to 10 within a month, and will absorb the poor families in the village to plant Xiuzhen mushrooms in the greenhouse.
