Top News · Henan Commercial Daily reporter Sun Chao correspondent Zhang Yimong Ma Pengliang

Recently, on the large hillside of Xuezhuang Village, Pochuan Town, Ruzhou City, there is a tall pepper tree one by one. Zhang Huai'an and his wife Hou Xueru are busy repairing the pepper tree to prepare for the next year.

Looking at the pepper trees with bent branches in the mountains, who can think that this hillside was still a "shiny slope" that "livestock does not enter, birds do not fall" a few years ago?

"This year's peppercorns will be harvested soon, and at least 10,000 catties of fruit can be collected. Now repairing branches will not allow peppercorns to be too dense, not only to pick it more convenient, but also increase production in the coming year." Zhang Huai'an said while cutting the pruning.

Zhang Huai'an, who is 59 years old this year, is the secretary of the party branch of Xuezhuang Village. "In the past, I ran the construction team, but after being a village party secretary, there were a lot of things in the village. I didn't have time to run out.

In order to make the "坡 needle slope" value, Zhang Huai'an invested 400,000 yuan, and it took 22 days to remove the needle to eliminate the needle. It cost more than 30,000 yuan. In order to learn peppercorns planting technology, he and his wife went to Shanxi three times and six times to study in Lushan. He also repeatedly invited agricultural technical experts to the scene to guide. He had suffered a lot of hardships in five years, and then changed from the initial "old white neck" to Today's "Turkish Expert".

"If you start planting in the winter of 2017, the fruit began in the third year. A total of 7,000 catties was received in the previous year and last year. It is expected to be no less than 15,000 catties next year. It can be collected for 30 years! This variety of peppercorns, the current market is about 35 yuan per catty, and this year's income is not a problem! "Zhang Huai'an said.

Looking at the changes in "坡 看 slope", more and more villagers apply for "joining". Zhang Huai'an said that there are about 500 acres of this deserted slope. Since 2018, the village has followed him one after another. Now a total of 28 households have joined the planting of peppercorns, which contracted a total of 300 acres of land.

"Next, we will mobilize the villagers to contract the remaining 200 acres of land to plant peppercorns, and then raise chickens and sheep, so that this '圪“ slope' becomes the 'little golden slope' in my village! "Zhang Huai'an is full of confidence Speaking.
