Small Fragrant Chicken becomes a "golden key" for the people to increase income and get rich
In a remote mountain village Miao settlement in Tingdong Town, Congjiang County, there is still no cement road. But walking into the village gives people a refreshing feeling. The beautiful village, brand-new houses, and snow-white cement roads display a vibrant scene of a new socialist countryside. It is Dongqin Village, Tingdong Town, Congjiang County. Because of the presence of new farmers, the new countryside is more energetic and full of vitality.
Dongqin Village is 16 km from the town government seat. Two years ago, it was the village connected with County Mayor Zhang Guangyuan. When County Mayor Zhang Guangyuan came to Dongqin Village, he not only gave a lot of construction and help, but most importantly, he opened up the people's thinking and let the people get rich through entrepreneurship. Since County Mayor Zhang arrived, local Small Fragrant Chicken breeding has become the "golden key" for the people of Dongqin to get rich.
The first person to get rich by raising local Small Fragrant Chickens was Wu Laorong of Group 1 of Dongqin Village. Because his family was poor, Wu Laorong went out to work after graduating from junior high school. After experiencing all the hardships of working, Wu Laorong resolutely returned home, wanting to change his living situation through his own entrepreneurship. It happened that he also met County Mayor Zhang Guangyuan and received his guidance and help. Wu Laorong got 800 chicks and built a chicken coop beside his own house. Through his careful care, these chickens were successively ready for market. Wu Laorong took them to the market to sell at a retail price of 25 yuan per jin. In the end, these chickens sold for a total of more than 30,000 yuan. For the young Wu Laorong, this was a great encouragement and the first step in his entrepreneurial career.
After tasting the sweetness, Wu Laorong was full of drive and confidence. Young and ambitious, he was not satisfied with this. He used the more than 30,000 yuan from selling chickens to buy a large batch of local chicks and expand the breeding farm. He knew that raising chickens is also a technical job. It is not enough to rely only on diligent feeding; scientific management is also needed, and disease prevention and epidemic prevention work must be done well. So he participated many times in breeding skills training at the county and town levels, and also spent his own money to attend chicken-raising skills training in Guiyang, Guangdong, and other places. With chicken-raising skills, Wu Laorong's business grew bigger and bigger, and his fame grew greater and greater. From retail chicken sales at the beginning, it became large-scale chicken sales, all booked in advance by restaurants or big vendors, with an annual income of more than 200,000 yuan. He built a new house, got married, bought new appliances, and lived a prosperous life.
With such a typical example of getting rich, the surrounding people also began to take action. They went to Wu Laorong one after another to "seek experience." Wu Laorong was not at all stingy and passed on his chicken-raising experience to everyone. Yu Laofa, Yu Xinlin, Wu Laosheng, Yu Laozhong, and others, through Wu Laorong's guidance and with the support of the county poverty alleviation office, also successively embarked on the path of Small Fragrant Chicken breeding. Now, the sales range of Small Fragrant Chickens in Dongqin Village is not only Tingdong Town, but has also extended to Rongjiang, Liping, Hunan, and other places, changing the people's living conditions and leading the people onto the road to moderate prosperity.
In this way, Small Fragrant Chicken breeding slowly spread in the Miao villages of Tingdong. Not only in Dongqin Village, but people in other villages also joined the ranks of chicken raising one after another. Absorbing more and more people and with an increasingly broad market, it has become the "golden key" for the people of one area to get rich and has promoted the development of the local economy.
