In the golden autumn season, the five grains are abundant, and the fields in Tougou Village, Zhuwangbao Town, Yongchang County show a bumper harvest scene.
Walking into the small grain processing workshop in Tougou Village, the workers were busy grinding, bagging, weighing, and sealing...... The roar of the machine was endless, and the smell of wheat in the workshop came to the nose.
"What is being ground right now is stone ground flour, which is slightly darker than regular flour, but has high nutritional value." Qin Xiangshan, deputy secretary of the general party branch of Tougou Village, said. Stone-ground flour refers to the flour made by low-temperature storage for 4-6 hours after sieving and cleaning of durum wheat, and then grinding at low speed by stone milling, which can retain protein, gluten and other nutrients in wheat to the greatest extent by low-temperature processing.
In recent years, with the concept of health preservation deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, cereals have gradually become the new favorite of people's tables from the former "subsistence food". Tougou Village also keeps up with the market trend, changes ideas, adjusts the structure, makes full use of the advantages of fertile soil and suitable climate in the village, and adopts the method of "general party branch + village shareholding economic cooperative + farmer", relying on the village shareholding economic cooperative to transfer 0.4 hectares of land in 2023, explore the planting of miscellaneous grain crops such as millet and millet, and achieve a net profit of 20,000 yuan through processing, packaging and sales.
In 2024, Tougou Village will expand the planting scale, transfer 2.67 hectares of land, and actively strive for 500,000 yuan of financial convergence project funds, and prepare to build a small grain processing workshop in Tougou Village in the idle classroom of the original Tougou Primary School, and purchase rice mills, dryers and other equipment to carry out deep processing of crops.
In the small grains exhibition hall of Tougou Village, bags of packaged stone-ground flour, special millet and delicate grits are neatly arranged, and the packaging bags are also printed with the LOGO of the small grains workshop.
"Don't look at the small pattern, the meaning is not small." Qin Xiangshan said proudly, "The outer circle is an ear of wheat, which means that the raw materials come from our village; The 'grain' in the middle represents the grains, and the 'mouth' below is the abbreviation of our Tougou Village. The whole LOGO fully shows the characteristics of our small grain processing workshop in Tougou Village. ”
The reporter saw that the traditional procedures such as screening, cleaning, and grinding were used for stone-ground flour, but workers only needed to pour the wheat into the machine entrance, and the entire processing process was completed by the machine. "I feel good that I can find such an easy job at my doorstep, I don't need to be exposed to the wind and sun, and I can earn more than 100 yuan a day." Ma Lanhua, a workshop worker, told reporters while bagging.
It is understood that the small grain processing workshop in Tougou Village can provide 15 jobs, and the workshop is expected to have an economic income of more than 60,000 yuan this year, which will effectively promote the increase of farmers' income and the enhancement of the village collective economy.
Qin Xiangshan said: "We give full play to the advantages of the village economic cooperatives to get rich together, improve all kinds of qualifications, build characteristic brands, increase brand publicity, make small grains into a pillar industry that strengthens the village and enriches the people, and 'provokes' the 'beam' of the collective and the masses to get rich." ”
