As a discerning person can see, while the "aircraft carrier" of Jiagu Grain and Oil is riding the wind and waves, it has also driven thousands of households to undergo earth-shaking changes.

How long does it take to change a place?

Jiagu told the world from practical experience that as long as the method is right, one or two years is enough to make a place "change the old face with a new look".

Haixing County, under Cangzhou, Hebei Province, plays such a role in "Rice on the Tip of the Tongue".

From the saline-alkali land that made people worry in the past, to the enviable "rich field" today, it took only two years for Haixing County to become famous after the hit of "Rice on the Tip of the Tongue".

"The excitement came so suddenly that we were almost overwhelmed. Fang Qi, a researcher at the National Academy of Fisheries Research, faced Qi Zheng, who came to witness the harvest, and said with some surprise and relief: "I didn't expect a documentary to have such an influence, and even our team is famous......

Qi Zheng smiled slightly.

Haixing County is located in the coastal plain in the eastern part of Hebei Province, with hundreds of thousands of acres of saline-alkali land. In the past, it was a barren land and no one cared about it, but after the transformation of Jiagu, it has now become a cultivation area for golden sunflower rice and a saline-alkali land aquaculture land.

Thinking of the changes in the past two years, Fang Qiyi still feels like he is in a dream.

She began experimenting with saline aquaculture on the land in the late nineties.

Aquaculture is a high-input, high-risk work, especially the development of saline-alkali land for aquaculture, regulating water quality and finding suitable species is already a difficult job, but compared with the first two points, lack of funds is the biggest problem.

From the very beginning of the pilot, Fang Qicheng and others only relied on the internal projects and financial support of the Fisheries Research Institute. Due to limited funding, in many cases, the pilot ends as soon as the project is stopped.

For years, Fang Qicheng has been trying to apply for industry-specific support, but without success.

Until the willows and flowers were bright, ushered in the big financier of Jiagu.

"It's still Qi always has courage!" Fang Qi said with a pun.

This is not only a sentiment for Qi Zheng's bold and teamwork, but also an admiration for his vigorous insistence on filming "A Bite of Rice".

You know, she has always been a pilot here, whether it can be promoted on a large scale and whether it can bring benefits, she actually has no bottom in her heart, and when Jiagu was shooting a documentary, she also felt that it was a waste of money.

And it turns out that the vision of genius is incomparable to ordinary people.

Fang Qi smiled and said: "After "Tip of the Tongue" became popular, this year's shrimp has not been caught yet, and the swarming order calls have snatched it up!"

Qi Zheng didn't have too many surprises: "Our shrimp are well raised, just like golden sunflower rice, even if it is not on the show, it will definitely not worry about ......sales."

After Jiagu entered Haixing County, faced with the problems of land salinity, drought and waterlogging that plagued the local agricultural development, he took the initiative to cooperate with Fang Qi's team to explore a new way of comprehensive development and utilization of saline-alkali land by digging ponds and lifting fields and replacing fishing with alkali.

In short, when ponds are excavated in low-lying areas to cultivate aquatic products, the salinity of the soil will be significantly reduced when the salt in the soil is dissolved into the pond, so that rice can be grown.

The "fertilized water" of aquaculture causes the general state of soil eutrophication, but for the barren saline-alkali land, this organic-saïve water is precisely the treasure of the fertile land.

Basically, for every 100 acres of fish ponds excavated, 120 acres of surrounding cultivated land can be restored, which can not only restore the cultivated land, but also create greater benefits, which can be described as the best of both worlds.

Of course, this is only possible if saline-alkali aquaculture can be successful. After all, this is "saltwater", which is equivalent to raising seafood on land.

Fang Qi's team's research is to breed vannamei shrimp on saline-alkali land, which is very popular in the domestic market because of its thin shell, fat body, delicious meat and rich nutrition.

However, this kind of shrimp is not good to eat, shrimp farming is a typical industry that depends on the sky to eat, and the survival rate of domestic factory farmed vannamei shrimp is less than 30%.

It is even more difficult to cultivate vannamei shrimp in saline soils. This kind of shrimp has very strict requirements for water quality, and the geological composition of saline-alkali land is very complex, seemingly similar, but the material composition is often very different, which depends on Fang Qi's team to transfer water to make the environment in the pond suitable for shrimp farming.

To Fang Qilai's surprise, after cooperating with Jiagu, the project was simply moving forward like a miracle.

After the pond was dug and the salt of the cultivated land was washed with rainfall alone, the survival rate of the shrimp seedlings exceeded 60%, which made the whole team full of confidence.

Qi Zheng smiled and said nothing, this side is only more than 30 kilometers away from the sea, and the "Five Bucket Cloud and Rain Array" can easily adjust the rain; as for shrimp farming, the technology depends on Fang Qi's team, but to ensure a better life, it depends on the "three-star gathering spirit array" aura to cleanse the body.

Just like Jiagu's regular operation, the technical team guarantees the lower limit, and he Qi someone opens the upper limit to raise the upper limit.

After the success of the first demonstration site of shrimp farming and rice cultivation in saline-alkali land of "eating crabs" in Jiagu, Haixing County comprehensively promoted the comprehensive utilization model of saline-alkali land of "upper agriculture and lower fishing".

This year, nearly 300,000 acres of saline-alkali land have been developed in Haixing County, including more than 100,000 acres of aquaculture area and 150,000 acres of paddy fields.

Jiagu Laboratory and Fang's team worked together to combine the experience of both parties, and also selected salinity-tolerant alfalfa around the pond and raised ducks in the rice fields, forming a circular ecosystem: saline-alkali water aquaculture - aquaculture water irrigated into the field - pasture soil consolidation and livestock feed - animal manure to provide nutrition for the rice fields......

Jiagu provides shrimp seedlings and golden sunflower rice seeds for cooperative households in Haixing County free of charge, and through the establishment of local planting and breeding bases and rice processing bases, Haixing County, which is located in the land of retreat from the sea and has serious land salinization, has truly become a "land of fish and rice".

The local production of golden sunflower rice, with its own weak alkaline, round shape, crystal and slightly transparent, after cooking, the rice is fragrant, soft and sweet; after the "rice on the tip of the tongue" publicity, it can be said that "in one fell swoop to become famous all over the world", even with the farmed white shrimp are famous.

Fang Qicheng took Qi Zheng to stroll between the ponds and rice paddies, introducing the amazing changes that have taken place in this land.

The paddy fields glow with golden light under the sun, and in the gusts of autumn wind, the heavy rice ears swell with golden rice waves, conveying a beautiful melody. The rice fields are full of harvest figures, and every face is filled with the joy of harvest that cannot be concealed.

Fang Qicheng sighed: "I have to admit that the cooperation with Jiagu has not only established a large-scale pilot project for the comprehensive utilization of fishery and agriculture in the saline-alkali land in China, but also really brought a way to prosperity for local farmers." ”

Qi Zheng smiled: "Isn't the goal of our Jiagu struggle just to make the hard-working workers feel that they can get rich?"
