"Iron rice bowl" at the door: weaving rattan to earn pocket money

　　In December, Fanxian County, Puyang City, a small city in northern Henan, was a bit dry and cold. As usual, Li Xuerong, a 73-year-old poverty-relief household, wrapped a thick cotton-padded jacket after breakfast and hurried out carrying a hand cloth to Fenghuang Town, Zhangzhuang, a few miles away. The community’s rattan workshop started the day's work.

　　For more than a year, Li Xuerong has been doing this every day.

Like the local "growers" in the Yellow River beach area, she has no land to grow since she moved to Fenghuang community, and the uncomplicated rattan craftsmanship has become the "new rice bowl" for Li Xuerong and others.

　　In the rattan workshop transformed from the Fenghuang Community Auditorium, Li Xuerong and more than 20 people of his age smiled and weaved rattans for the furniture components, chatting and working at the same time.

Seeing reporters taking pictures, they turned their heads and looked over shyly.

　　Through conversations, it was learned that after Li Xuerong moved to the Phoenix community, she took care of her wife at home for a period of time. After her wife passed away, and her children went out to work, she stayed at home alone.

In 2019, after the rattan weaving workshop was launched, she joined the community residents and worked in front of her home.

　　"You can do it if you want to do it, or you can rest if you don't want to do it, just a few steps away from home." Li Xuerong said that the rattan weaving adopts the piece-rate system, and there is no fixed working time.

　　According to reports, the manual cost of rattan weaving varies according to the size of the components. Taking the backrest of an outdoor chair as an example, a manual cost is 1.8 yuan.

And at Li Xuerong's speed, he can make more than ten pieces a day without any hurry, and he has an income of more than 20 yuan.

　　“It’s not a bad idea to open this factory. I can make vines and change buns.” Li Xuerong told reporters that the workshop provides a free lunch every day, and the daily income is enough for her to eat and drink. ."

　　Hearing Li Xuerong mentioned "making vines for buns", Dong Aiju smiled and answered, "When I am older, I am happy to talk and laugh together, and I can earn two (money), how great!"

　　In 2018, when Dong Aiju's family moved to Phoenix Community, she returned from a factory outside of the city.

Now, my daughter-in-law is taking care of her grandson, and while she is at home, she has also joined the community's "rattan-making army" not long ago, and has become Li Xuerong's "workmate".

　　The reporter learned that Li Xuerong and others are mainly weaving rattan for custom-made outdoor furniture such as beach chairs that are exported to Europe and the United States.

A few years ago, Zhang Xusheng, who was operating a furniture business in Zhangzhuang Town, decided to return to his hometown to build a factory to provide jobs for his father and villagers and support the development of his hometown. The "crop people" in the Phoenix community became the beneficiaries.

　　In 2019, with Zhang Xusheng's furniture factory as the production base, rattan workshops bloomed everywhere in Zhangzhuang Town and some surrounding township communities.

The production person in charge of the furniture factory said that rattan weaving is not a manual task and requires little space. Most of the jobs are for the elderly. "So we sink the rattan weaving process to the community poverty alleviation workshop, and even the residents' homes, and we provide components and rattan."

　　At present, this furniture factory has to pay a minimum of 30,000 yuan in manual fees for nearly 50 large-scale rattan workshops in Puyang every day, and provide more than 1,000 jobs for the people at their doorsteps.

In addition, the welding, assembly and other links of the factory also provide local people with many opportunities for employment at home, with a maximum monthly income of 8,000 yuan.

In the rattan workshop at the door of the house, the community members were chatting and working at the same time.

Featured industries blossom everywhere and build a firm "iron rice bowl"

　　In fact, it is not only Fanxian rattan weaving. As an important guarantee for the people who have been lifted out of poverty and the stable income of monitored objects, characteristic industries have already "bloomed" and "brought up" in the Central Plains, allowing the masses to have "iron rice bowls" at their doorsteps.

　　"One mu of camellia oleifera with a hundred kilograms of oil, marry a wife and build a building" has been passed down from mouth to mouth in Guangshan County, southern Henan.

The poor mountain more than ten years ago has now become "fushan" driven by the camellia industry.

　　In this county, Simaguang Camellia Garden, which drives this characteristic industry, covers 41 villager groups in 6 townships. It has achieved an annual output value of nearly 100 million yuan, helped more than 1,000 poor people, and placed more than 2,000 surrounding people in employment.

Chen Wenzhen, who is over seventy years old, is one of the beneficiaries.

　　She told reporters that the mountain and woodland in her family was transferred to the cooperative. She and her husband worked in the oil tea plantation with an annual income of more than 30,000 yuan. “There is also a pension.”

　　Located in Huilong Township, Tongbai County, Nanyang City, in the hinterland of Tongbai Mountain, the cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials such as Prunella vulgaris is a new way for local people to increase their income.

Wang Baojun, a 40-year-old villager, had been paralyzed by an accident and his family was in debt. Now, Prunella vulgaris has become his "life-saving grass."

　　He told reporters that Prunella vulgaris grows naturally and does not require pesticides. It is planted in winter and harvested in summer. It is also purchased by merchants. “My family’s land is grown with prunella vulgaris, and the income per mu is more than four thousand yuan, which is higher than the income of wheat. Some."

　　In Huilong Township, the cultivation of Prunella vulgaris has exceeded 10,000 mu, and its output value can reach 60 to 70 million yuan. "This is a major industrial development channel for our people to increase income and become rich." The relevant person in charge of the township said.

　　Nanyang City is rich in resources of Chinese medicinal materials. In recent years, the local "flower and grass economy" has ushered in a bright moment.

In particular, with the rapid growth in demand for wormwood products, this weed has undergone a transformation, and a large group of industries have "growth" in Nanyang.

In the local area, there are more than 1,500 wormwood companies.

According to the relevant person in charge of Nanyang Wan’ai Industry Association, as of the end of 2020, Nanyang’s annual output of wormwood was hundreds of thousands of tons, and the annual output value exceeded 10 billion yuan, which has driven more than 300,000 farmers to plant, harvest, process and sell income.

　　In Zhangzhuang Village, Lankao County, located in the Yellow River beach area, hundreds of acres of lawns planted in the beach area are sold to various places through e-commerce channels, and the highest daily income can reach 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

From "no grass to grow" to selling grass to get rich, the "grass economy" of Zhangzhuang Village has flourished.

In the furniture factory workshop, workers are assembling furniture.
