200 mu of radishes were pulled out and thousands of people were collecting wool from the old farmers' vegetable field
A 60 year old vegetable farmer in Xinzhou District, Wuhan recently encountered a worry: in just three days, all his 200 mu of radishes were picked up!
Thousands of people ran to his vegetable field to collect turnips, but they couldn't stop them
Chen Delin is an old vegetable farmer in Xinzhou. In order to expand the scale this year, the borrower contracted 200 mu of new land in partnership with others and planted turnips.
On December 1, when Chen Delin and his partner went to study in the city, they suddenly received a call from his wife, Ms. Gao, saying that many people went to the field to collect turnips, but they couldn't stop them. 'run over and have a look, there were a sea of people. The nearby roads are full of cars, blocking three or four miles. "
Ms. Gao saw at the scene that hundreds of people crowded around his vegetable field to pull out turnips. Hundreds of private cars and small three wheels were parked around the field. People carried turnips in large bags and small bags to nearby cars, and kept shouting 'free turnips'.
The reporter found in the online search that many users released videos with the themes of 'radish without money' and 'free radish'.
In the video, some people carry it on their back and others carry it on their shoulders;
Others sang and danced, started live broadcasting, and even sat on the ground and shouted to netizens, 'ten yuan a bag, ten yuan a bag', and began to sell on the spot;
'I said I was the owner of this radish. These are not free radishes. No one listens. Stopped a few times and couldn't stop it. There are hundreds of thousands of them, and I dare not stop them. " In desperation, Ms. Gao called the police for the first time.
Where did these people come from? Why did you suddenly come here to collect turnips?
Ms. Gao said that at present, three or four cents per kilogram of radish. These people come from Tuanfeng County, Huanggang City and Ezhou City, dozens of miles away, and from hundreds of miles away. The money for pulling out a sack of radish is not enough for oil.
Why do these people suddenly come here to collect turnips? Ms. Gao said: these people claim to have seen news on the Internet and come to pick free radishes.
'people have come every day in the last three days. At 10 o'clock last night, some people were looking for turnips in the field with a flashlight. Someone else came this morning. I can't find a radish in the field now. "
Chen Delin introduced that the police had repeatedly sent out police to drive away, and also pulled a cordon around, but people from behind still kept pouring into the ground.
'turnips are all free 'turned out to be a rumor! At present, vegetable farmers have lost more than 400000 yuan
Chen Delin introduced that a small part of the 200 mu radish is not drought resistant varieties, and most of them are drought resistant varieties. According to the current wholesale price, the total value is more than 400000 yuan.
"Recently, radish prices are low and difficult to sell. Varieties that are not drought resistant are easy to grow and deteriorate in the field for a long time. I privately told the villagers and acquaintances nearby that this part of radish was sent free of charge, so that they could get it back in the field and eat it by themselves. I don't know what's going on. It's said that this radish is all free. "
Chen Delin said that there were too many people in the past two days. The cauliflower and sweet corn he planted nearby were not involved, but the wheat fields around the radish field were all trampled.
Vegetable farmer: it's just a lively one. I'm not going to investigate
Although I feel a little helpless, Chen Delin's mentality is still optimistic. " Nearby villagers joked that they had never seen so many people in their life, which was more lively than the temple fair. Let's treat it as a lively one. " On the phone, Chen Delin laughed several times.
He said that the cauliflower at home sold well and could offset some of the losses. He had never encountered such a situation before. He didn't plan to investigate, and he didn't know who to investigate.
'I also expected these radishes to celebrate the new year. I cried when I got home. My wife is a child. She doesn't know how anxious she is. She advised me that there are other dishes to sell at home. There's no problem for the new year. He didn't tell me about the money. All I knew was that I contracted this land to grow turnips and borrowed 60000 yuan from my neighbors. " His wife, Ms. Gao, said that these radishes were not wasted and should be given away.
The police are investigating
On the afternoon of the 4th, many netizens found that there was a misunderstanding, criticized the relevant behavior under the relevant video, and called on netizens to show mercy, stop spreading rumors and help vegetable farmers stop losses in time.
Xinzhou District Public Security Branch police said that they did receive an alarm that '200 mu of radish was pulled out'. At present, the police are investigating the details of the incident.
After a year's hard harvest, I feel sorry for this kind vegetable farmer. At the same time, I also want to remind you: when you hear similar news in the future, how long do you have in mind? Don't spread rumors!
