[Explanation] At the beginning of summer, everything is beautiful.
In the greenhouse of Chenglong Vineyard at the foot of Tuantu Mountain, Dongying Village, Wenquan Town, Yuexi County, Anqing City, Anhui Province, clusters of green grapes hang on the branches, creating a vibrant scene.
[Explanation] Chu Yizeng, the owner of the orchard, is a "post-95" returning college student.
In 2018, he transferred more than 70 mu of land in Dongying Village and founded Chenglong Vineyard in Wenquan Town, mainly planting grapes, citrus, strawberries and other fruits.

When I first started my business, I just wanted to be a high-efficiency and environmentally friendly industry in my hometown, and create green, pollution-free and pollution-free products. I chose this industry because I wanted to reduce straw burning and contribute to environmental protection. Because of the previous efforts, most of the (our) parks use organic fertilizer for fertilization, which is the method of straw, livestock and poultry manure and biological bacteria composting.
[Explanation] After graduating from university in 2016, Chu Yizeng returned to work in Dongying Village without hesitation. Although he was young, he was practical and diligent in his work.
He found that the agricultural technology in the village was backward and the industrial structure was single, so he led technicians to visit Zhejiang and Anqing, Lu'an, Hefei and other places in Anhui, and found that grape planting has great prospects.

In the early stage of the business, due to immature technology and improper personnel operations, some fruit seedlings died in the base.
For this reason, I led the technicians to Zhejiang, and consulted the local bases and their technicians. After studying there for half a month, I improved the technology, corrected the wrong operation method, and stopped the loss in time. loss.
[Explanation] It is understood that since its establishment in 2018, Chenglong Vineyard has paid more than 60,000 yuan in land rent to local villagers and paid more than 200,000 yuan in wages for migrant villagers, enabling local farmers to obtain stable income in the development of the vineyard.
At the same time, the vineyard adopts the form of "tourist picking + export" to promote the development of tourism in Dongying Village.

At present, the park has entered a period of stable development, and the grapes are also in the harvest period.
In the future, we will introduce more high-quality fruit varieties to develop the park, and we will also try to sell online and offline. While increasing the output, it will also open up wider sales channels.
[Explanation] In Chu Yizeng's view, modern agriculture is scientific and technological agriculture and innovative agriculture. He is not only a farmer but also a technician. "New farmers" must constantly learn, innovate and improve to create their own unique products.
As of 2022, the orchard has developed 80 acres of grapes, 10 acres of citrus, and 10 acres of strawberries, creating employment for more than 40 people in the surrounding area.
