The aroma of barley wine overflows the road of revitalization

Walking 15 kilometers southwest from the seat of the Galeng Tibetan Township Government in Xunhua Salar Autonomous County, Haidong City, Qinghai Province, through a dark blue conifer forest, Bitang Village at the corner is integrated with mountains, farmland and pine forests.

All things are stored in winter, and good wine should be brewed
in winter.
At present, it is the time when the raw materials of barley brewing are dried and put into storage, and it is also a good season for winemaking, and the "Yangqu Barley Wine" wine workshop in Bitang Village is a hot scene
.
Covering an area of more than 2,400 square meters, the brewery has a fermentation room, distillation room, storage room and packaging room, dozens of sealed wine tanks are neatly arranged, and the exhibition hall displays a variety of barley storage products
.
In the aroma of wine, more than a dozen brewers wash baskets of good black barley with mountain spring water, make a hot pot, seal the lid, cool it and pour it into the tank to ferment and seal, waiting for time to give it a more mellow taste
.

"Brewing wine, it is necessary to strictly control the four major processes of 'koji making, fermentation, distillation, and storage', using black barley as raw material, washing it with mountain spring water and pouring it into a pot to cook for 7 hours, after cooking, it is poured into a large sieve to dry, sprinkled with koji and mixed well, transferred to a ceramic container sealed for a long time fermentation, and then added mountain spring water, poured into the pot and sealed again and then connected to the cooling cylinder, through heating, the steam enters the cooling cylinder with the tube into distilled water,' Even if the head wine is brewed, the brewed wine is filtered in combination with modern machinery, put into a crockpot or wine jar, and stored in the cellar for more than a year before drinking
.
The barley wine produced in this way has the characteristics of
mellow aroma and delicious decanting speed.
"As a traditional barley winemaking artist, Doba insists on inheriting and promoting traditional winemaking skills
.

Industrial revitalization is the foundation of rural revitalization, and in order for the industry to be prosperous, it is necessary to work hard and make a fuss
about the word "special".
In 2020, Doba, the leader of getting rich in Bitang Village, combined with the experience of going to various places to study and research, raised 480,000 yuan to successfully register the trademark "Yangqu Barley Wine", and opened a wine shop
with the support of the Party Committee of Galeng Township and the Party Branch of Bitang Village.
This Tibetan translation contains the meaning of "Happy Family Fang Barley Wine", carrying the mission of inheriting and carrying forward the ancient winemaking skills of Tibetan wine and the original intention
of working with the villagers to get rich together.

In 2021, the distillery purchased 20,000 kilograms of black barley raw materials from Bitang Village, Heran Society, and Lalong Kasha, and made 10,000 kilograms
of wine.

Li Maocuo, who is busy packaging the wine, is a poverty alleviator from Bitang Village and has been working
in the distillery since its establishment.
"There is income at the doorstep, so I can take care of my family without delaying farming, and I can also earn about
10,000 yuan a year.
" There are nine villagers like Li Maocuo who work in the distillery
.

In recent years, the party committee of Galeng Township has closely focused on the development idea of "one village, one product", led industrial development with party building, helped the masses increase income with party building, focused on creating characteristic industries based on Xiuri distilled spirit, actively explored the development model of "branch + company + poverty alleviation households + farmers", expanded and strengthened the industrial brand and influence with the "harvest + production + sales" operation model, and built a thousand-mu barley base relying on the "golden business card" of Xiuriyu, which has driven the development and growth
of small and micro enterprises in surrounding villages.

Talking about future development, Doba said with confidence: "We will take the opportunity of upgrading the barley wine industry to pay close attention to market demand, further increase the research and development of characteristic agricultural and livestock products, and continuously enrich the product types and provide more jobs
.
" At the same time, it forms a community of interests with farmers to purchase black barley at a price higher than the market protection, driving more villagers to increase income and become rich
.
”

This is a microcosm
of Xunhua Salar Autonomous County's active cultivation of leaders to get rich and condense new momentum for development.

In 2022, Xunhua Salar Autonomous County will cultivate a total of 133 rural prosperity leaders, and a total of 1,652 people will be lifted out of poverty
.
The county has also set up "field classrooms", organized experts and planting experts to "door-to-door service", improved the agricultural production skills of leaders who got rich, provided relevant policy support for the development of industrial land and insufficient industrial funds, and excavated many prosperity leaders like Toba who took root in the countryside, led the masses to increase income and get rich, and promoted rural revitalization, so as to provide a strong talent guarantee
for developing the rural economy and strengthening villagers' self-government organizations, revitalizing rural advantageous resources, and stabilizing farmers' income.
