Yellow River News Network Changzhi News: Apricot blossoms fall in April, and golden apricots are ripe in June. At present, Zoumaling Village is full of sweet plum and apricot aromas. I saw the sunlight passing through the gaps between the leaves, sprinkled in the large plum and apricot orchards, the breeze blowing slowly, the small and lovely plum apricots, crumbling on the branches, like a fat doll, looking out with a smile on the green leaves.
In Zoumaling Village, Niusi Township, the reporter found this plum and apricot orchard in search of taste. "There are a lot of tourists who come to pick plum apricots this year, and less than three days after the news of my circle of friends was sent, about 3 acres of plum apricots were almost picked." In the field, Wang Qingguo greeted tourists who came to pick them, and at the same time was busy answering the calls of customers who had booked plum apricots.
"Sweet and sour, juicy, full of fragrance, every year I look forward to eating this bite of Niusi plum apricots! This time, the children just finished the test and were on vacation, so I wanted to take the children to experience the picking in person. Sister Li Wenhua, who came from Xiyuan Community in Dingchang Town, said with a smile while picking apricots, "By the way, I am also going to take pictures and send them to the circle of friends for my friends to see, maybe they will all come." ”
Wandering in Wang Qingguo's apricot forest, the aroma of plum apricots fills the mouth and nose, and the red and golden attractive plum apricots are swaying on the branches, making people can't help but want to pick one to taste. Just as we were walking around in the plum and apricot orchard, Wang Qingguo finally stopped and said to us: "There are about 700 acres of plum apricots planted in Zoumaling Village, and now 80% of the plum apricots in the village have reached the peak fruit and high yield period. In the past two days, the price of plum apricots is 7 yuan per catty, so that this year's plum apricot mu production investment of more than 1,200 yuan, can earn 4,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan. Our family planted 13 acres of plum apricots, Yan Aihong planted 15 acres in the village, and Cheng Laiying planted 13 acres. When it comes to planting plum apricots, Wang Qingguo also said: "The key is that plum apricots are also distinguished by their variety of eating methods: preserved apricots, canned apricots, almonds, apricot jam...... There is always a way to eat, so that everyone can eat a proper sense of 'apricot' blessing. ”
Today, more than 700 acres of plum apricots are planted in Zoumaling Village, and more than 1,000 acres of plum apricots have been planted in Niusi Township, and the income of this industry alone can reach more than 400 yuan, which has embarked on a road of characteristic agricultural development. In the next step, Niusi Township will also organize to engage in training and create a brand, so that Niusi Meixing can go out of Shanxi and go to various places. (Guo Xuehong, Qin Chao)
