Kwok was picking in the shed。
A box of cucumbers was loaded on a truck that was moving around。
"holding two hundred dollars in bundles, he went straight to the city to sell the building, see which set to take."
In the market for vegetables in chiyang's dyke streets, a section of cucumber buying houses is well known and inspires hard-working farmers to trade their hands for a better tomorrow. They're cucumbers。
How great is the cucumber? It's been to more countries and regions than many jenans! It has registered trademarks in 10 countries, including italy, germany and others, and a shed can bring more than 100,000 yuan in revenue and transport hundreds of thousands of kilos per day, with customers waiting for more than 10 years..
Date taken: 10 december 2020: on the street of the queyang dyke: quecumbers from distant countries
"how much i want."
900,000 kg per day during peak period
Every morning, at more than 6 a. M., more than 120 customers in the wholesale market for ecstasy pick up the warehouse curtains early in the morning, remove the tables and chairs, place the books and calculators and wait for the cucumber growers to arrive in the dark. The electric tricycles, vans, pick-up vans, which rush into the market in the face of the rising tide, carry a box of cucumbers with dew on them to large trucks all over the country until around 10 a. M. The market returned to calm。
It's getting colder and the cucumber grower, guo, is moving the goods while he warms his hands. On that day, he sent over 500 kilograms of cucumbers to zhang wubin, a business that had worked with him for more than 10 years, and doubled daily deliveries at spring and summer festivals. “only winters are grown in hot hot winters, with low-temperature arches in spring and summer, and market demand is high.”
Asking zhang mu bin how many cucumbers he takes every day, he waved with pride, "i want as much as i want for so many years!" on this market, there are more than 10 farmers in zhang wubin-cooperative, and even in the current light season, more than 10,000 kilos of ecstasy cucumber are transported by his hand to sian every day。
"the cucumber is firstly good, and `facility belts' are particularly beautiful, and secondly, tastes good, and is so soft and sweet. It's a lower price, and it's worth more than $5 per kilo, and $78 per kilo in the market for xi'an, even though it's more expensive than other varieties." according to zhang mu bin, both words “twilights” are good cucumbers in markets all over the country, and twenty-three thousand kilograms a day for spring and summer。
The owner of the wholesale market, mr. Liu fong, said that the market now traded around 400,000 kilograms per day, reaching a peak of 900,000 kilograms in may. Liu fong-soo stretches his hand, “we trade 150 acres, more than 90 per cent of which are cucumbers.”
"a basket of cucumbers for a calf."
The family opened a car
Back in 1996, the wholesale market was an open-air gathering, and guo was growing wheat corn。
“the planting of cucumbers is the result of time, time and land, man and man, when we were looking for projects and development, and the leaders found that the cucumbers we planted were beautiful and rich in various nutrients, and decided to put the project down.” kwok-dong remembered that building an arch shed at that time would cost $230,000 and that few people would be able to get it out of the village
Help the farmers raise money, make loans, get their heads hot
"no one wants to grow."
"today, tomorrow, when will you see the proceeds?" this is by the way what the villagers questioned at that time: the top of the arch is covered in thick cotton and grass mats, kicking down at night to keep warm, pulling up the sun during the day, and kwok-dang's hand has been grinding out cocoon in a few days, “throwing the ground, pouring water, fatting up, exhausting.”
In less than a month, the first cucumber was removed, with a straight figure, bright yellow flowers and small, small, small thorns that were quickly looted into the market. Guo can't surprise you, and the villagers' eyes have changed. “that's when pork was 10 pounds, 3 pounds of cucumbers, 1 pound of cucumber, 1 pound of pork!” guo said, "well, let's just say, take a basket of cucumbers out and get a cow back!
In a short period of time, cucumber cultivation had moved from calling to initiative, and more and more farmers had built huts. Even if technology lags only in spring and summer, even if there are half an acres and three points in the area under cultivation, the day rises. The cucumber trading market has also built sheds from the open, and has grown from the shed to a customer's “location”。
In 2003, sun jing, the cucumber-receiving merchant, said that the cucumbers had a small reputation at that time, that there were few visitors and that prices were far below current prices, mainly to the local market in jinan. Around 2010, as the policy went up and the road opened, the cucumbers came to spring, and “all the growers i know are buying houses in the city, all the families are driving cars and watching the day is better than the day!”
“a true international name”
Curved trademarks registered in 10 countries
The day of the interview, when outdoor temperatures were below 5 degrees centigrade, the moment when kwok entered the shed seemed to have passed through the summer. At a temperature of 37 degrees centigrade, he looks at a ferocious cucumber with a green-oiled seedling, with a bouquet of flowers to be laid。
“this shed was built just last year, with only one seed, earning about $100,000, and normally twice.” asking the profit, guo's answer is so modest that he's proud that he has three of the 120-metre long winter high-temperature sheds like this, and one archer, five acres. Now, the village of guo has an average of 1. 7 sheds and maize wheat is almost no longer grown. A total of 26,000 cucumber huts with an area of over 50,000 acres are located throughout the streets and constitute the country's largest high-quality cucumber growing base。
Today, cucumbers are no longer needed to be “push today, kick tomorrow”. A short while ago, kwok tong's mobile phone was equipped with a smart agricultural terminal, which was able to manipulate cotton over the distance, raise and fall, and automatically spray water, fatten up, see how hot it is in the shed and move its fingers and open the vent. “it is not like in the past that cucumbers are sold on the market in such a hurry to come back and open the door.” according to kwok tong, not only the planting technology, but also the way in which the transaction took place, “there was a collection point on the market earlier in the year, and the customers were paying cash and cash, and now there's an automated settlement on a cartoon platform, and the cards are on the way, never in arrears.”
What makes him proud most of this is the fact that the curt cucumbers have moved to the world through the large masses of beijing, xi'an, urumqi, etc.: “we curt cucumbers have been registered in 10 countries, including italy, germany, switzerland, russia, belgium, the netherlands, etc., and are truly `international names'
Guo zheng said that he would break a cucumber, and that the fresh fragrance from which he had been dealing with cucumber for more than 20 years would also float further into the future。
