The story of Qiangxi Xiang and Tea Garden started in 2018.

Tea seedlings are growing up and happy

The deep mountains are the main terrain characteristics of Qingchuan County. There are many mountains in Qingping Village and a large slope. The crops are not easy and there are no pillar industries. It is a provincial poor village. “那时候我们的状态就是'一年忙出头，两头不见天'，但收入却与付出极为不匹配，养猪赚的钱都不够喂猪用的粮食钱。”和村里大多数年轻人一样， Qiangxi Xiang chose to go out to migrant workers to subsidize the family.

In April 2018, Huangdu Village, Anji County, Zhejiang donated 15 million tea seedlings to help people from poor areas get rid of poverty. Qingchuan County is the only place in Sichuan Province. , A 1026 acres of donated land in Qingping Village.

"Because the climate of Qingchuan is different from Anji, I experienced a lot of running -in at the beginning." Recalling that I started learning the experience of tea management from scratch, Qiangxi Xiang admitted, "The second year of tea seedlings, we are particularly worried. The altitude is high, the weather is cold, and the tea seedlings grow slowly. "During that time, Qiangxi Xiang was anxious.

"Thanks to the experts from Zhejiang, otherwise the survival rate of these tea seedlings may be greatly reduced." Qiangxi Xiang was grateful. In the past four years, agricultural technical experts guided it, Qiangxi Xiang was diligent, and he would grow tea. I wrote several books, and now she has become a "half expert", and the simple tea seedling problem can't be fell.

In 2021, Qingchuan County began to explore the development model of the "Return to Return to Pack", change the model of the collective economic management and protection of the village, and plan to return to the people to further expand the number of "Baiye No. 1" tea growers. The first application for the contract tea garden.

"I have management technology, organizational ability, and responsibility. I think I have the advantage of contracting tea gardens." The confident Qiangxiang finally contracted 200 acres of tea gardens, which became the largest in the area in Qingping Village. Farmers.

In April of this year, the tea garden contracted by Qiangxi Xiang ushered in white tea. "White tea sold more than 30,000 yuan, counting the management income of the white tea base, there will be 50,000 to 60,000 yuan a year!" Qiangxi Xiangle couldn't get together.

Tea seedlings are growing up and happy

Every day in the tea garden, watching the tea seedlings grows day by day, in the eyes of Qiangxi, they are like life. "When should I water, when to weed and fertilize, and walk into the tea garden, as if I can hear their voice."

This summer, in the face of unprecedented drought weather, in order to resist drought and seedlings, Qiangxi Xiang and tea gardens were in the fields and carried out artificial irrigation. At four in the morning, the flashlight was watered to the tea seedlings to nine o'clock to nine o'clock. When the temperature dropped at 7 o'clock in the evening, it fought until the middle of the night.

Repeatedly, Qiangxi Xiang has been insisting on for more than a month, and eventually allows these tea seedlings to avoid the suffering of drought.

The strong tin incense in the tea garden is darkened. Sometimes they are busy, and they do n’t care about two children who go to school. When the 9 -year -old daughter is in the summer vacation, she fails to wait for her mother to drag her own. The bulky luggage went home and mumbled to complain: "You are much better for tea seedlings than us."

"Baiye No. 1" base

Qiangxi Xiang couldn't help laughing, "Although the children occasionally complained, they still support me. Sometimes I joked with them and said that they were too dark and I was embarrassed to go to the parent meeting.To comfort me in turn, saying that this is the "peasant nature '." "Tea garden is my home, and the tea tree is like my baby. Looking at them thrive, happier than anything."Tea garden, Qiangxi Xiang's eyes are full of love, and it is also full of hope for the future. "In the future, I want to do it around the tea career and continue to increase their income together!"

A piece of gratitude leaves, get rich together.In the spring of 2022, "Baiye No. 1" was picked up on a large scale for the first time. In 4 years, Qingping Village picked more than 4,000 pounds of fresh leaves. The sales supply was in short supply.
