In the cold winter season, it is the first period of vermicelli production and processing, in the vermicelli processing factory in Zhukou Town, Taikang County, the villagers are busy making vermicelli, turning "winter leisure" into "winter busy", and making traditional craftsmanship a new way to get rich.
On December 28, the reporter walked into a vermicelli processing factory in Guozhuang Village, Zhukou Town, and saw that a rod of crystal clear vermicelli was hanging in the drying field. In the production workshop, the villagers turned a ball of starch into a wisp of "silk thread" through the process of turning, panning, and pulling, and slowly slid into the boiling water, and instantly turned into vermicelli with uniform thickness and toughness.
Yan Junjuan, the person in charge of the vermicelli processing factory, said: "This year, I harvested 300 tons of sweet potatoes, about 300,000 catties of noodles, and about 8,000 catties of vermicelli in one day. ”
It is understood that the factory processes nearly 300,000 catties of sweet potato vermicelli every year. In the production process of sweet potato vermicelli, a large number of workers are needed, and it also provides employment opportunities for some surrounding villagers, so that they can work and earn money at their doorsteps.
Every morning, after sending the children to school, I come to work, 150 yuan a day, which can take care of the elderly and take care of the children, and do not delay earning money, I think it is very good. Worker Yan Chunyan said.
In recent years, Zhukou Town has closely focused on the vermicelli industry, relying on the rich sweet potato resources, and has embarked on a professional and large-scale agricultural product processing road, making vermicelli processing a "gold bar" for the masses to increase their income and get rich.
