Wang Li, a professional duck farmer in Shangshui County: Raising ecological ducks on the road to prosperity

"my ducks grew up by rivers and ponds, and ate small fish and shrimp, so the eggs they laid were not only big, but also yellow. Salted Duck Egg, which I pickled with them, everyone likes to eat, it sells very well. " Recently, Wang Li, a professional duck farmer in Sansuolou Village, Shuzhuang Township, Shangshui County, was very excited when she talked about raising ducks ecologically.

Wang Li, 36, has been engaged in raising ducks ecologically for four or five years. In 2010, Wang Li, who worked in Guangzhou for 10 years, returned home to take care of her children at school. Unwilling to be idle, she took advantage of the proximity of her home to the river and pit pond to raise 200 egg ducks. during the day, she asked the ducks to find some fish, shrimp and insects in the river and pit pond, and then drove the ducks home in the evening. In order to improve the quality of duck eggs, Wang Li often feeds natural feeds such as duck grass, spinach, float grass, carrots and so on. Therefore, the eggs laid by her ducks are large, green and yellow, and the pickled Salted Duck Egg egg yolk is purplish red, which tastes delicious and has a long aftertaste.

As soon as Salted Duck Egg entered the market, he was very popular. Later, several restaurants in the market bought all of Wang Li's Salted Duck Egg at a price 0.1 yuan higher than the market price. As Salted Duck Egg is very popular with customers and the demand is expanding, the production speed of Wang Li's 200 egg ducks lags far behind. At the suggestion of several restaurant owners, Wang Li decided to expand the scale of raising egg ducks.

After the Spring Festival in 2012, Wang Li and her husband invested 200000 yuan to set up a duck farm with 2000 egg ducks. Because the technical and management requirements of large-scale breeding are more stringent than that of scattered farming, in order to master duck-raising skills, Wang Li, in addition to attending duck-raising training courses held in the countryside, has also gone to the professional families of Bacun Town, Tangzhuang Township and this township to study duck-raising skills and management experience. At the same time, she also installed broadband to learn duck-raising skills online. Through hard work, Wang Li has mastered the techniques of epidemic prevention, duck disease prevention and feed preparation.

In the process of egg duck breeding, Wang Li still adheres to ecological stocking and never feeds ducks with feed additives, pigments and other harmful things to human health. When it comes to pickled duck eggs, Wang Li is also different from others. Others use materials such as alkali noodles, edible salt and soil, but Wang Li still uses plant ash handed down by her ancestors to mix edible salt. Salted Duck Egg, pickled by natural alkali in plant ash, has no alkaline taste and tastes particularly good.

"over the years, we have always liked to buy her family's Salted Duck Egg, not only because of her delicious food and low price, but also because she is honest and trustworthy." During the author's interview, customers called or came to buy from time to time, and everyone was full of praise for Wang Li.

Wang Li said that although her pickled Salted Duck Egg has been favored by everyone in terms of brand and quality, the price is still lower than the local market price. In Salted Duck Egg's packaging, she uses barrels and boxes, but no matter what kind of packaging is used, she never messes with the quantity.

Over the past few years, Wang Li has won the market and users by virtue of integrity and brand, and has embarked on the road to prosperity by raising ducks. When talking about the next plan, Wang Li told me: "the next step is to set up a duck-raising cooperative, absorb local duck farmers into the cooperative, and teach the duck-raising skills they have mastered to the broad masses through on-site training and holding training courses." let more people get rich by raising ecological ducks.
