Characteristic farming in Wusu City has become the "new favorite" of ordinary people to get rich.

Tianshan Network (reported by correspondent Tian Nana Zhang Junmei) Gu Jinbao is an out-and-out farmer in Heba Bei Village, Sikeshu Town, Wusu City. He has been planting to support his family, and the income is general. By chance, I saw a set of agricultural programs about the tips of getting rich and raising scorpions, which aroused his interest at that time. After inquiring in many ways and surfing the Internet to learn about the breeding technology and economic benefits of scorpions, it inspired his dream of raising scorpions to become rich.

According to Gu Jinbao: because there are ready-made wild scorpions on the Gobi Desert on his doorstep, six nimble young men in the village picked up the scorpions with him. Since May this year, they have been riding motorcycles together to catch scorpions in the Gobi Desert at 11 o'clock every night. At first, because they have no experience and do not know the rules of scorpion life, they do not gain much every night. They constantly sum up the experience of catching and grope for the rules of scorpion's night life, and now they can sometimes catch more than 200 grams. Due to their small number of scorpions and narrow sales channels, the price is between 640 and 680 yuan per kilogram when they are sold.

Gu Jinbao told me: "in the process of catching and buying scorpions, he feels that there is a great market demand for scorpions, such as major pharmaceutical companies, high-end catering industry, and so on." Raising scorpions is not as expensive as raising poultry, and it covers a small area, so it can be raised in plastic trays. The most important thing is that scorpions have a short dry cycle and a large number. From May to now, he has caught some of them himself, bought some of them and now has more than 2000 scorpions in his family. Scorpions sleep during the day and come out at night. He raises them at night, feeds them fresh beef and mutton, takes good care of them, and records their every move carefully. After more than two months of careful care, the scorpion adapts to his home environment. He also mastered the living habits and breeding characteristics of scorpions. This year, he wants to explore for a year, explore the breeding technology of scorpions, expand the breeding rules and share the breeding experience with villagers and friends next year, so that everyone can cultivate scorpions to get rich. Enable the villagers to embark on this "highway" of scorpion farming to increase income and become rich. "

Ma Jinlong, who has been catching scorpions to buy money in the village, talked about how happy they were to catch scorpions every night. He said: "We are farmers, and we also make a living with local income. We heard Gu Jinbao say that the economic benefits of scorpions are good. In addition, the Gobi Desert is also big here. Every night, it takes 2-3 hours, not only to delay the next day's farm work, but also to make money. So the six of us agreed to catch scorpions full-time every night. We have made about 3000 yuan from scorpions since May this year. I think it's a good sideline. We're going to keep doing it.

It is understood that scorpion is called "scorpion" or "whole worm" in traditional Chinese medicine. it tastes pungent, flat, poisonous, returns to the liver meridian, and has the effects of extinguishing wind and relieving spasm, attacking poison, dredging collaterals and relieving pain. it is mainly used to treat infantile convulsions, convulsions, hemiplegia, tetanus, rheumatic paralysis, migraine and other symptoms. Scorpion venom has higher medicinal value, and scorpion venom has a special effect on analgesia, anti-tumor, anti-epilepsy and regulating immunity. Scorpion is not only a traditional Chinese medicine, but also a delicacy. Scorpion has high protein content and comprehensive amino acid composition. In addition, scorpion is a low-fat, mineral-rich product. With the improvement of people's living standards and the awareness of health care, scorpion, as a health food, is gradually on the table, favored by more and more consumers.
