"Mother said that she must do something meaningful to human beings before she retires." This also became the life goal that Fan Lingling finally found.
In 2017, Fan Lingling entrusted Dalian's trading company to her classmates and returned to the town alone to study the cultivation and development of perilla, and became a well-known local "perilla girl".
By looking up a lot of professional information, Fan Lingling found that Zisu's whole body is a "treasure", "I fell in love with it more and more."
"I invited experts to visit Dayangshu. They recognized that only the perilla planted here has the highest alpha linolenic acid content, and the world's best perilla is located in Oroqen Autonomous Banner." Lingling's confidence.
"But everyone doesn't know each other!" Everything is difficult at the beginning. In order to promote, Fan Lingling always fills the car with perilla products, and gives the products after the exhibition.
Fan Lingling still remembers that after an exhibition, she wanted to give perilla seed oil to an aunt, who walked away questioningly.
"My heart is broken, I can't even send it out." Fan Lingling remembered the initial difficulty, and still carried it with a hearty laugh.
"However, it has been much better in the past two years, and the product has been recognized by many mothers."

"Now I have independently developed 6 products including perilla seed oil, perilla honey, perilla tea, and foot bath pills." Fan Lingling handed the reporter a bag of "shake honey", "This is my newly developed product, inspired by It comes from popping milk tea."
In the past few years, Fan Lingling has signed planting orders with local farmers. On the basis of ensuring the purchase at the lowest price in the market, farmers can get "rising water" profit income.
"Last year, one plot of land could earn 30,000 yuan, which is three times higher than the profit of growing corn. The farmers who planted basil on a small area earned more than 200,000 yuan." Fan Lingling told reporters happily that the farmers had tasted the cultivation of basil. This year, 40,000 mu of basil were planted in the Oroqen Autonomous Banner. "Now there are about 110,000 mu of basil plantation in and around the Oroqen Autonomous Banner."
