At more than 3 o'clock in the morning, Du Xiaowei came to the strawberry greenhouse in the dark to start a new day's picking work. "As the Spring Festival approaches, there are more orders than usual, and the strawberries produced in the shed are in short supply, and I am not the earliest. ”
Du Xiaowei is the secretary of the party branch of Dongchahe Village, Shanqiandian Town, Laiyang City, Yantai, Shandong Province, under his drive, there are currently more than 100 strawberry greenhouses in the village, planting more than 20 varieties such as "pink jade", "Sui Zhu" and "Saga", and producing "colorful" strawberries in five colors: red, black, white, pink and orange, and the price of a single strawberry in the market exceeds 7 yuan.

The biggest advantage of facility agriculture is that it breaks through the seasonal restrictions of traditional agriculture, and everyone has work and output all year round. Even in winter, it's a hot scene. Du Xiaowei said.
In the former Dongchahe Village, most of the villagers guarded a few acres of thin fields, barely making ends meet all year round. In winter, most of the villagers are at home for a "cat winter", waiting for the beginning of spring, and then starting to work.
Everyone was idle, gathered together to drink and play cards, and the east and west families chatted briefly. Du Xiaowei said, "Now there are almost no idlers in the village. Those who can move have come out to work. Everyone has something to do, money to make, fewer contradictions, and stronger cohesion. ”
As the city with the highest total agricultural output value in Shandong, Yantai not only ushered in the "busy winter" of agricultural production, but also the deep processing of agriculture. In the automated production line of Chunxue Food Group Co., Ltd., workers and machines cooperate with each other, and it only takes four to five hours from the white feather chicken entering the production line to the final output of packaged chicken rice.

The Spring Festival is coming, there are more orders, at present, our factory is in full production, and some orders can only be scheduled after the Spring Festival. Chen Fei, vice president of the company, said.
Chicken rice flowers, chicken cutlets, chicken meatballs, chicken sausages, ......In the freezer next to the production line, the reporter saw a dazzling array of chicken products.
According to Chen Fei, the company used to focus on chicken exports, and through industrial transformation and upgrading, it now focuses on developing the domestic market of chicken prepared food, which has won the attention and favor of consumers of all ages. Especially during the Spring Festival, the demand for various dishes increased, and their "winter busy" harvest was full.
The reporter found that in addition to agricultural production and deep processing, the primary and secondary agricultural industries are "busy in winter", and the tertiary industry in rural areas is also gradually "busy in winter", adding new impetus to rural development.
In the "Shanshui Pastoral" scenic spot of Nanzhangkuo Village, Shanqiandian Town, the "Ice Waterfall" that stretches for more than 500 meters along the mountain is crystal clear, and walking on the wooden plank road next to it is like being in a fairy tale world. "I wanted to take my children to the Northeast to play during the winter vacation, but I didn't expect to see this kind of ice and snow landscape here. Tourist Zhang Xiaoguang said with a smile.

Xu Qiang, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shanqiandian Town, introduced that the construction of the "Ice Waterfall" landscape originated from the "brain hole" of the villagers of Nanzhangkuo Village. In addition, the villagers have also engaged in services such as "Ice and Snow Research Tour", "Ice and Snow Homestay Experience" and "Garden Picking", making the scenic spot a popular destination for winter tourism.
When the reporter left the scenic spot, some villagers were putting the freshly made snack "fried fruit" on the shelves. "This traditional noodle dish is both beautiful and delicious, and tourists come to our village to play around and bring one with them when they leave, which will feel worthwhile. On a cold day, although we work harder, we can earn more, why not? (Reporter Zhang Wuyue).
