A single spark illuminates the depths of the mountain.
Recently, the reporter and his party set off from Piaoli Town and bumped all the way up the mountain. The road from the foot of the mountain to the village was full of potholes. After 40 minutes, they arrived at Zhaikou and got off the bus. The biting and fresh mountain wind blew, which was cool and refreshing. Walking along the stone road in the village, there are two or three-story wooden buildings inherent in Longsheng minority on both sides. Through a small bamboo forest, we met Wu Yancai himself. He is not tall, and when he smiles, he shows a row of white and neat teeth. He was very shy when he saw the reporter taking pictures of him.
Walking into the pig farm, the pigsty was neatly separated. Wu Yancai told reporters that because of the lack of funds at the beginning, he built the whole pig farm brick by brick, which not only saved the cost, but also freed up more money to buy piglets. He bought 12 piglets in the first batch, which happened to be a good price. When the first batch was released, he earned seven or eight thousand yuan, which made Wu Yancai very happy. It was from then on that Wu Yancai chose his own way of starting a business. Because of the high cost of buying piglets, the price per catty of piglets is 15- 18 yuan, while the slaughter price of pigs is 8-9 yuan. He also tried to buy a 100 kg pig for breeding, but because the breeding technology and epidemic prevention technology were not in place, he died twice and didn't earn a penny.
During that time, Wu Yancai didn't sleep well, thinking about how to take this road steadily and well day and night, and absolutely can't just give up. First, we should teach ourselves the nursing and epidemic prevention of pig farms; The second is to look at the market trend, that is, agricultural products should be "green" and "earth".
After finding the right direction, Wu Yancai went to the bookstore and bought many books and books about breeding and epidemic prevention. But for a person who didn't finish the first grade of junior high school, there are too many uncommon words and nouns he doesn't understand, not to mention some technical terms. However, he was not discouraged at all. He also bought a modern Chinese dictionary, looked it up word by word and understood it word by word. When he encountered technical terms, he copied them down and asked the technical staff of the town animal husbandry station for advice. He also actively participated in various breeding training courses. After nearly half a year's hard study and practice, Wu Yancai has not only mastered a set of methods for pig epidemic prevention and treatment of common diseases in pigs, but also formulated and improved its own entrepreneurial road.
He worked hard and refreshed himself. He borrowed 20,000 yuan from the bank, bought 15 sows and 20 piglets, and got up every morning to clean the pigsty and feed the pigs. In order to ensure that the quality of pork is "earthy" enough, he would rather slaughter it slowly to ensure the meat quality. He planted more than one acre of sweet potatoes and more than three acres of Broussonetia papyrifera, and pigs mainly fed sweet potatoes, corn and vegetable leaves. Heaven rewards hard work, and a group of healthy local pigs are released. Because the meat is delicious, tender and sweet, and there are many repeat customers, Xiao Wu's pigs are gradually becoming famous, with more and more sales channels, more and more sales and more income.
Wu Yancai's success has undoubtedly injected vitality into this quiet village and illuminated the front for the villagers who have been groping for wealth.
The first mountaineer to return to his hometown to start a business.
Out of the pig farm, at the kind invitation of Xiao Wu, we came to his home, which is a traditional wooden building of ethnic minorities. On the first floor, there are more than a dozen pigs that can be slaughtered, and not far away, there are a lot of sweet potatoes and vegetable leaves picked from the ground neatly. When Xiao Wu's mother saw us coming, she warmly welcomed us in Dong dialect.
Pingling Village, where Wu Yancai is located, is remote, with 6 13 households and more than 2 100 people, and the per capita cultivated land area is less than 2 mu. It is a village promoted by Longsheng during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan period. There are more than 50 families in Shuizhen where he lives, almost 200 people, all of whom are Dong people. The villagers make a living by farming and growing oranges, and their income is meager. There are more than 30 people the same age as Wu Yancai. None of them stay at home, but they all go out to work.
When the reporter asked you why you went out to work a few years ago, and now you choose to go home to start a business, Wu Yancai pondered for a while, and his eyes were covered with a layer of fog: "When I was in junior high school, it should be 1998, and my family was very poor. Every week, I carry a bag of rice and fifty cents from home and walk for more than an hour to the town's junior high school. Not to mention eating well, it's hard to get enough to eat, and I'm often hungry at night. When he said this, he looked at his mother who was doing housework, and her voice was very small, for fear that her mother would be sad when she heard it. Wu Yancai is not the only person in the village who didn't go to school because his family was poor. Nearly 70% of his peers in his village are poor. Although the school is free of tuition, they still can't afford the weekly 15 yuan living expenses, so they still can't go to school.
After working for 8 years, Wu Yancai changed a lot of jobs, printing clothes in a clothing factory, making wooden heels for high heels in a shoe factory, making lighters in a lighter factory, doing odd jobs in a printing factory, and installing air conditioners ... He also suffered a lot: he worked for more than ten hours without any overtime pay, and was still owed wages by his boss, as if the unfair treatment suffered by many migrant workers was a microcosm of him. For several years, I have not only made no money, but also failed to accompany my parents to take care of them. He said that the happiest time is to have a girlfriend, have a good relationship and be happy together. But later, the woman's parents asked for tens of thousands of bride price money, and he couldn't get it out, so he had to break up.
During this period, he also thought about going home to start a business, but his companions advised him to finally get out of that ravine. Why go back? Farming can't produce gold, and there is no savings in my hand, so I gave up the idea.
In recent years, with the country's increasing support for migrant workers to return to their hometowns to start businesses, many encouraging policies have been introduced, such as giving discount loans and technical assistance. Besides, Wu Yancai also saw many restaurants called "Local Restaurant" and "Local Duck Restaurant" outside. He felt that there should be a market for raising original livestock, so he came back to start a business with a try.
Wu Yancai is the first person in the village to go home and start a business. At first, everyone thought that he could not get along outside. Even his parents asked him if he was in trouble outside. Amid all the doubts, he quietly prepared his own pig farm.
A single spark aims to "start a prairie fire"
Now raising pigs has made Wu Yancai successful, and he feels very lucky. In the new year, he will continue to expand the scale and start his own business.
Now, everyone asks Wu Yancai what's wrong with the neighbor's pig. He is also very enthusiastic about helping villagers solve problems. Some villagers' pigs are sick. He not only helps with the treatment, but also provides medicines for free. He also actively guided villagers to join the large-scale breeding of local pigs. He believes that only by forming a scale and forming a brand can the market be opened and the sales market be opened, so that this small mountain village that has been sleeping in the mountains can prosper.
September 20 12, Guangxi Linsan Company invested and established Linsan Ecological Pig Raising Base in Pingling Village. In order to cooperate with the breeding poverty alleviation industry of Linsan Company, under the leadership of the Party Committee, government and village committee of Piaoli Town, Longsheng Ling Lin Ecological Breeding Professional Cooperative was established, and Wu Yancai became the youngest member of the cooperative. With the active efforts of Wu Yancai, more than a dozen farmers are interested in cooperating with Linsan Ecological Pig Raising Base. After listening to Wu Yancai's entrepreneurial experience, his fellow migrant workers are also preparing to go home for the New Year and learn from him. Wu Yancai described his blueprint for starting a business to reporters: twist everyone into a rope and engage in ecological farming together. After eating pork, everyone will look for the brands of Ping Ling and Shuizhen. Speaking of this, Wu Yancai smiled as brightly as a child, and the reporter saw firmness and vision for the future from his eyes.
When the reporter left, Wu Yancai told the reporter: "When I save enough money, I will buy a car that can shelter me from the wind and rain. When you want to come here, I'll pick you up by car. If only you could come to the wedding party when I get married. "
