In winter, the dam is covered with snow and the weather is freezing. At 10 o'clock in the morning of December 20th, in the intelligent greenhouse of Datra Village, Guild Town, Zhangbei County, Hebei Province, pots of vermilion red seedlings from the Netherlands were neatly arranged, and the green flower seedlings gave birth to winter vitality.
The screen of the "intelligent artificial climate chamber" hanging on the wall of the greenhouse shows that the temperature is 15 degrees Celsius. At this moment, the outside temperature has dropped to minus 25 degrees Celsius, and the dripping water has turned into ice.
Vermilion red is a cool flower. We have installed electric heating wires on the ground in the shed, and electric sunshades have been installed on the roof of the shed, and the temperature and humidity can be controlled through the intelligent control system, which can effectively cope with the severe cold weather on the dam. In winter, if the temperature in the shed is controlled at about 15 degrees Celsius, the vermilion red can survive. Xie Zhigang, secretary of the Party branch and director of the village committee of Datra Village, said while checking the growth of flower seedlings.
In Zhangbei, when it comes to Guild Town and Datra Village, the first thing that comes to mind is Qilin watermelon. After 5 years of development, the greenhouse watermelons here have become famous. Relying on the watermelon planting industry, the collective economic income of Datra Village has increased from 50,000 yuan in 2018 to 800,000 yuan in 2022, and the annual per capita income of villagers has reached 13,000 yuan.
The watermelon industry in the greenhouse is already very mature, why do you still need to plant vermilion?For example, this year, our village planted 300 acres of watermelons, and the yield is very high but it can't be sold at a price, or even loses money. We have long considered adjusting the planting structure and developing new industries. Xie Zhigang introduced that this autumn, the Dutch Armada Flower Breeding Company came to Zhangbei for inspection, and fell in love with the climate of Zhangbei.
The county ** funded the renovation of the greenhouse, Armada provided seedlings, we were responsible for the management, and after the bulbs grew, Armada was responsible for sales. Xie Zhigang said that this year, Datra Village tried to plant a total of 20,000 vermilion red trees in five greenhouses, and the planting was completed in mid-October. At present, the seedlings are growing well.
The planting of vermilion red in Datra Village has also given the villagers of "Cat Winter" a channel to increase their income in winter. Wen Junhe, 60, is a poverty alleviation household in Datra Village, and he works in the surrounding villages when he is busy farming, earning a lot of money. "In previous years, there was no work in the winter, but this year there is a flower shed in the village, and I will come to do it if there is a job, and I can earn 150 yuan a day, and I am happy!."Wen Junhe, who often comes to the shed to do odd jobs, is very content. Since the construction of the shed, there have been more than 100 temporary workers like Wen Junhe.
Xie Zhigang calculated an account for the reporter, this batch of Zhu Dinghong can be sold by June 2025, the price of each seed ball is calculated at 50 yuan, the sales revenue can reach 1 million yuan, and the net income is expected to be 400,000 yuan. "Once the trial is successful, we will expand the planting scale and add new varieties, so that the road to industrial revitalization will be wider and wider. For the future, Xie Zhigang is full of confidence. (Hebei ** reporter Wang Junfeng).
