August 05, 2005 15:25 CCTV seven sets of "to get rich"
In the spring of 2001, the village of Xiliuzhuang, Guantao County, Hebei Province, there was a villagers feel strange things --- the village flies suddenly more than up. In just a few days, these obnoxious flies seemed to fall from the sky, and there were flies flying wildly everywhere, both inside and outside the house. The villagers were disgusted, but also felt very strange, where did these flies come from?
A few days later, the mystery of the flies was finally unraveled, and the answer to the mystery made all of us feel incredible: the flies came from the home of a young girl in the village named Jin Renren, who was less than eighteen years old. Why would a big girl have so many flies in her house?
To find out why there were so many flies in her house, we have to start with a newspaper. One day in September 2000, Jin Ren Ren worked in a hotel in Handan City, guests threw a newspaper on the chair, published a message caused her curiosity.
Jin Ren Ren: "a" Science and Technology Information Newspaper, published in the above is about raising flies, is to raise flies, the use of fertilizer in the countryside and what, chicken manure, pig manure and what to raise fly maggots, to reduce the cost of feed to feed chickens in this piece, feel the effect of particularly good."
Jin Ren Ren's hometown is known as the township of egg-laying hens, and her family has raised more than 1,000 chickens. Since 1998, due to feed price increases, the price of eggs slumped, Jin Ren Ren's family farm and the village chicken farmers, a year of hard work, but can not make money.
Hotel waiter Gao Ping: "She then asked me, said you see this project can? I said you feed the flies ah? I said dirty, no no no."
Jin Renren: "I feel that this is quite suitable to do in the countryside, after all, at that time, the consideration of the hotel as a waiter, the life of the dry down, there is no future, and in the end you still have to go home."
Jin Renren quit her job at the hotel and followed the clues provided in the newspaper, going directly to an animal research institute in Beijing
to ask the expert professors to learn the technology of breeding flies. After that, she took out 800 yuan of her own savings from her part-time job and bought a cage of fly seeds to bring back home to breed.
Jin Renren: "At the beginning of the fly seed back, that a cage of two cages on the inside, in which to raise."
Jin Renren's raising of flies at home has spread like a gust of wind in the village and become a hot topic of conversation among the villagers after dinner. The village has a variety of farmers, but has never raised flies, Jin Ren Ren's move was seen by the villagers as a deviation from the norm.
Villagers: "At that time, it was just a little bit of a bad view of her, at that time, I felt that the little girl to raise fly maggots is a little bit uncivilized, fly maggots after all, it is quite dirty things."
Jin Ren Ren's mother: "They all looked down on her and thought she couldn't do it, a girl could do it."
Besides the rumors in the village, what was more embarrassing for Jin Renren was the firm opposition of her parents and family.
Jin Renren's mother, Zhang Wen'e: "I can't accept it, when she first started to do it, she couldn't eat once she saw that thing."
Jin Ren Ren's father, Jin Gengchen: "Her mother did not do it, I did not do it, a girl you keep flies, you work there to do a good job, you do not do to come back to keep flies, a little bit of opposition, a girl now you're a little young, after you find in-laws a little bit not appropriate. Said extermination of four pests, you are raising four pests."
Jin Renren's second sister, Jin Xiuran: "I said she has a problem with her brain. Fly maggots and other dirty dead, I said you still raise it, I said you raise it why make, and then argued with her, did not say two sentences on the quarrel. I said if you want to keep it, I said you don't keep it at home, I said you love to go wherever you want to go."
The next thing that happened to the third sister, let Jin Ren Ren feel difficult.
Jin Ren Ren's third sister, Jin Xiuying: "I sometimes I go to school, I simply do not dare to walk back and forth in a crowded place."
Reporter: "Why?"
Jin Ren Ren's third sister Jin Xiuying: "I'm afraid of those students to see me say, say what that say my name it is Jin Xiuying her big sister is raising flies, is more disgusting kind. No matter the class or whatever I will not dare to talk, and then after class I do not dare to go out."
The third sister, Jin Xiuying, let go of a cage of flies in a fit of pique when she came home from school, and these flies naturally made their way to the homes of other villagers in the village, drawing more complaints and criticism. Jin Renren had no choice but to move to a chicken farm outside the village, and with the little money he had left from his part-time job, he made a home for the flies and lived a life isolated from the outside world.
Jin Renren: "This is the place where I first started to raise flies from my home."
Reporter: "How many were kept here at that time?"
Jin Renren: "There were 200 boxes raised here at that time."
Jin Ren Ren farmed this fly is called the house fly, it is the 1950s, Chinese researchers choose wild house flies, domesticated in a closed environment for rearing, so that the house fly has become a cultured organism. In general, milk powder and red ponds are the best feeds for artificially rearing houseflies.
Jin Renren: "A small cage inside just put a box, and then in the morning put a box, add some sponge to put some water, and then at noon and then give it a water."
Reporter: "Why put a sponge?"
Jin Renren: "You do not put a sponge, you see, like this, load a box of water into it, that flies fly wings, it falls, that wing a dip in the water, it will not fly up, it will drown it. Like this take this sponge later put in, just this sponge absorb this water, do not show water."
Despite her careful care, but the problem has arisen: the flies lay eggs and give birth to fly maggots, growth rate is very fast, four days time weight growth of more than forty times. But the fly maggots are kept in fermented bran, and can only be used to feed chickens if they are separated from the bran and added to some feed, so how can the fly maggots be separated from the waste?
Jin Renren: "Because the bran itself at that time to give it mixed wet, and maggots are mixed together, points when not good points. After separating out, the bran can still be fermented once, and you can raise maggots again."
One day, Jin Renren moved the boxes for raising fly maggots outside and prepared to clean the fly room. That's when something amazing happened: in the sunlight, the fly maggots mixed in with the bran feed were desperately trying to get down.
Jin Renren: "This is to take the broom slowly to the top of the bran from the inside of the sweep out, clean it slowly left the maggots, so separated out, and especially clean look."
Reporter: "Did anyone help you?"
Jin Ren Ren: "No, at that time after all, the parents at home are against, those people in our village who have seen, all thought that this little girl brain problem like, no one to help, that is, they are alone there to do."
After the fly maggots are separated out, with some feed they can be used to feed the chickens, which is the happiest time for Jin Ren Ren. The food quantity of flies is very small, a cage of flies more than 10,000, only need one or two milk powder and red pond per day, while 10,000 flies can produce 1 kilogram of fly maggots per day, able to feed more than 10 chickens. Chickens eat fly maggots, egg production increased significantly, the use of fly maggots instead of fish meal, feed costs have been reduced by half.
Seeing this, her father began to change his mindset and helped his daughter take care of the flies. And the villagers still couldn't accept her. However, an incident in the summer of 2001 dramatically changed the villagers' attitude toward Jin Renren. For unknown reasons, the village chickens began to fall ill and their egg production dropped significantly. Although the villagers consulted veterinarians and bought medicines to prevent and treat the disease, they had no effect, and even some villagers' whole cages of chickens could not escape the fate.
Villagers: "One or two hundred chickens died at that time."
Reporter: "How much money was lost?"
Villagers: "Losses at that time, the loss of light chicken disease loss of four or five thousand dollars."
However, the villagers feel strange, Jin Ren Ren's chickens have not been affected in the slightest, not only did not get sick, but also normal egg laying. This incident soon spread in the village. In fact, there is a substance called antimicrobial peptide in the fly's body, which protects the fly from germs. The antimicrobial peptide in the fly maggots improved the immunity of the chickens. The villagers' thinking has also begun to change, and some of them have learned to raise flies.
Villagers: "They can feed maggots, we also feed maggots. It's the chickens that eat them that get sick rarely."
Because the fly maggots are live feed, does not contain any additives, feed the fly maggots of the eggs, favored by consumers, in the market demand exceeds supply, the price is also higher than the average eggs more than a dollar. That year, Jin Ren Ren's net income reached more than 50,000 yuan.
Jin Ren Ren: "To us to call the egg is particularly much, and even they have is to take away to send their customers relatives to eat, all feel good, and then turn back to us to take them."
Customer: "Buy a dozen boxes."
Reporter: "What do you think of this egg?"
Customer: "The response is still good, often to Liaocheng Jinan relatives, the response is quite good."
One day in June 2004, an eel farming Chongqing customers found Jin Ren Ren's farm, the customer's arrival, so Jin Ren Ren saw the breeding of flies in the larger market.
Chongqing customer Cha Xiaomei: "I heard from a friend there, Hebei Guantao Xiliuzhuang village that Jin Ren Ren in the breeding of the fly, came to see her here."
Jin Ren Ren: "She asked, said we want to raise the fly maggots, I asked her, I said you raise the fly maggots do? She said we raise eels here. It is raising eels can be used."
Chongqing customer Cha Xiaomei: "She was surprised, that is to say, we have only developed to use fly maggots to raise chickens, as if we have not thought of using fly maggots to feed eels. I said this is what I realized over, I was I said in the wild bar, collected some maggots to feed that eel, think the eel ate very good."
Jin Renren: "At that time is also the first time to hear them say take this fly maggots to feed eels and so on, I feel this is kinda good."
Later, Jin Ren Ren learned that fly maggots can be fed to chickens and eels, but also many animals are excellent live feed. This broad market space, increased Jin Ren Ren expand the scale of fly farming confidence. 2005 June, Jin Ren Ren in the outskirts of the city set up a fly breeding demonstration farm, breeding scale than the original expansion of more than twice. Every day, people come to her place to visit and learn from her.
Jin Renren: "It's just a matter of picking up the eggs and pouring them into this box. The material is filled up, once added enough."
Henan customer: "One time to add enough."
Jin Renren: "Yes, you don't want to add some today, and then add some tomorrow, you maggots will definitely grow small, you can spread the material enough at one time, add enough, so the maggots will grow very large, and it looks like the head of the head of the same thing basically, look to be a little bit more flush."
In Jin Ren Ren's fly farm, flies and fly maggots are no longer the original disgusting things, they have become a body is the treasure of the lovely elves.
Reporter: "How long have you been like this fly maggot?"
Jin Renren: "This maggot is already 4 days."
Reporter: "This fly maggot from the egg last to become maggots, how long?"
Jin Renren: "Almost 15 days. This maggot, long time touching is also quite fun, you see like this maggot after all the separation of clean, take hold of up, grabbed into the hand, as if the maggot to pop up that kind of feeling. In fact, sometimes touch really quite comfortable."
Reporter: "A grasp not on the grasp broken?"
Jin Renren: "No, you see you so grabbed up after taking hold of the hand inside, this it took hold of not dead, it is still alive, because live maggots have elasticity."
Fly farm deputy director Sun Jutang: "We are now raising this fresh maggots, not only to say that fried to eat on the table, but we can also live to eat, this fresh maggots we can live to eat, that afraid of what? This is sterile."
Reporter: "Is it good?"
Fly keeper: "Tasty."
Reporter: "What flavor?"
Fly keeper: "A little salty."
Reporter: "A little salty, what flavor do you eat?"
Jin Ren Ren's second sister Jin Xiu Ran: "Anyway, it feels hard, is a kind of meat flavor."
Reporter: "Are you afraid of it?"
Jin Ren Ren's second sister Jin Xiuran: "Not afraid."
Reporter: "Do you usually like to eat it?"
Jin Renren's second sister, Jin Xiuran: "I like to eat."
Jin Renren, who has just turned 22, is gradually maturing in fly farming. What makes her even more happy is that not only is her father devoting himself to her fly farm, but also her two younger sisters, who were strongly opposed to her raising flies, have also come to the farm to work as ordinary fly keepers.
Reporter: "No longer worried about what people say?"
Jin Renren's father: "I'm not worried. Just to the village, the villagers see that you raise flies to get rich, came back, I feel a happy thought in my heart. It's not the same as before, when you were raising flies and not successful, but it's not the same as when you had a feeling of resentment."
Now, in Jin Ren Ren's fly farm, not only the production of fresh maggots, supply farmers around the need, at the same time, she and a foreign trade company, the fly maggots will be dried and sold to foreign markets. In just a few years, 22-year-old Jin Ren Ren has created more than 100 million yuan of fixed assets.
