In Daqiao Village, Sujiatai Township, Gongqing City, Jiangxi Province, the newly opened Sujiatai Lobster flagship store is booming, in the largest box in the store, at the large dining table with a diameter of 5.8 meters, 38 customers are seated, and the owner Wang Xianjin personally cooks the spoon to provide exquisite craftsmanship to the guests from all directions.

Wang Xianjinyuan is a local township government official who went to the sea in 1984 to run a specialty restaurant. Wang Xianjin's first small shop, rented the canteen of the township veterinary station, two simple small boxes can only accommodate more than ten people at a time, later moved to the credit union, the box expanded to six. Speaking of the hardships of entrepreneurship, Wang Xianjin's words only have four words: hard work.

Located on the shores of Poyang Lake, Wang Xianjin's restaurant mainly burns fish and shrimp, local chicken, sweet potato flour, glutinous rice dumplings and other special farmhouse dishes, among which crayfish is the most popular among guests. "In 1998, the crayfish I cooked were only sold for one yuan, and many Nanchang customers came to see them, and there were long queues at noon, and some people were willing to wait until <> p.m. to eat crayfish."

Crayfish made Wang Xianjin's career. After years of development, Wang Xianjin built his own hotel, and the crayfish he fired were of good quality, affordable to the people, and the business continued to boom. "Starting from 3 pounds of crayfish, more than one or two deep-water prawns are used, and from April to November every year, the two shops use thousands of catties of lobster every day, and burn more than ten tons of crayfish a year."

The boom in the crayfish business has driven the development of the local crayfish farming industry. The amount of crayfish is large, Wang Xianjin has contracted a large number of rice fields to cultivate ecological crayfish, and many farmers have also joined the industry. "Rice and shrimp co-cropping can not only cultivate high-quality crayfish, but also harvest organic rice." Wang Xianjin said that his hotel buys crayfish weighing more than one or two pounds for 50 yuan per catty, and the rent for paddy fields and water surface contracted by villagers has reached 600 yuan to 1050,<> yuan per mu.

The development of the crayfish industry has also brought benefits to the households lifted out of poverty. "The rapeseed oil and peanut oil I grew in the field were all sent to the Sujiayan Lobster Shop for stir-frying, and I didn't worry about sales, and the days became more and more prosperous." Xu Wansen, a poverty-alleviated household in Jiangxi Gongqing City, said.

Under the leadership of Xinxiang Xian Wang Xianjin, the lobster industry in Sujiayan Township, Gongqingcheng, is developing better and better, and the Sujiayan Township Government has also taken this as an opportunity to make full use of its unique advantages to combine special catering and agricultural and sideline products, vigorously develop the crayfish gourmet industry, launch the "Sujiatai Lobster" brand, and promote the development of the tertiary industry.

The development of the crayfish industry has also extended to many surrounding townships, and in the rice and shrimp breeding cooperative in Nanhu Village, Jiangyi Town, Gongqing City, farmers are braving light rain, supporting small boats, and busy releasing crayfish seedlings.

"Crayfish are sold from March, with peak sales in May and June." Yu Jinhua, the person in charge of the above-mentioned cooperative, said that at present, the cooperative breeds more than 3 mu of crayfish, and the estimated yield per mu is about 5 jin, with a profit of 6,550 yuan to 260,4000 yuan per mu, and the cooperative has also driven more than 5000 surrounding villagers to breed crayfish.

Nanhu Village, Jiangyi Town, Gongqing City, has developed a rice and shrimp breeding area of more than 3600,<> mu through the method of "enterprise + cooperative + farmer", forming an integrated lobster industry chain such as seed breeding, adult shrimp breeding and finished product sales, leading large aquaculture households to drive poverty alleviation households and surrounding villagers to increase income and become rich.

At present, Jiangxi Gongqing City focuses on Jiangyi Town, Sujiatao Township and other areas along Poyang Lake to build a core area of bulk freshwater fish and an advantageous area for shrimp and crab famous and excellent aquatic products, with an output of 2123,7500 tons of shrimp and crab, an output value of more than 2 million yuan, and a comprehensive rice and fishery breeding area of 4,<> mu in the city, stepping out of a distinctive green and efficient development road, effectively activating the "one pool of spring water" of rural revitalization.
