Brief introduction of bright mung bean

Mingguang mung beans are exported from 1920, and the annual sales volume is about100000 Jin. 1976 try to plant a new variety, the quality exceeds the export standard, and it is known as super bright green. 198 1 won the fourth prize of provincial scientific and technological achievements, and 1983 was named as "No.1 Ming Road" by the province. The "bright green liquid" wine brewed from bright green liquid was praised as "a wonderful flower in wine" by Beijing Evening News.

Mingguang mung bean is a famous specialty in mingguang city, Anhui Province, and enjoys a high reputation in domestic and foreign markets. The local working people have the tradition and experience of planting mung beans since ancient times. Guandian, located about15km south of Mingguang City, was originally a small village with 20 families, most of whom came from other places to settle here. It is said that one of them is Guan, and his family has a large population. Apart from reclamation and farming, there are surplus laborers. The householder is not only good at crops, but also flexible and thoughtful. At that time, he found that his village was at the crossroads of north-south traffic. Passers-by often ask residents for a place to rest and a bowl of tea to quench their thirst. Some even ask for food and a place to stay. He realized that if he opened a restaurant, wouldn't he make money? ! According to the statement, this is actually a business opportunity. It is said that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, 130 years ago, two houses were built at the intersection of the village entrance and a small restaurant was opened for passers-by to eat, live and rest. This small restaurant is called the Butler Hotel, which has long been called the Butler Shop. Others said that Guan's surname opened a shop at the entrance of the village, called Guan's shop, or Guan's shop for short. In short, at that time, as long as the store was mentioned, people could understand its meaning. Later, with the increase of immigrant population, a market town was formed here in the late Qing Dynasty, and the shops also became place names. Lunar calendar 147 is designated as the party day. 19 12, the Qing government completed the Jin-Pu Railway and set up a station named Guandian here.

After the opening of the Jinpu Railway, brothers Lin Weipu (also known as Lin) and Lin Weijin (also known as Lin) from Liuhe, Jiangsu Province followed their father (whose name is unknown) from Anshuikou to Guandian to do grain business, and together with shareholder Zhang Shengsan (nicknamed Zhang Ershuaizi), they were mainly responsible for checking the quality of grain. Because the Shuikou business is not doing well, they gave the grain store an auspicious line number after taking charge of the store-Sheng Changxiang, hoping that the business will be prosperous and prosperous. It is this promotion that has made a historic contribution to the future fame of Mingguang Mung Bean at home and abroad.

Shortly after Sheng Changxiang opened his business, Lin Lao died and was in charge of the Lins' brothers. Later, in order to expand business, an office was set up in Nanjing. The Lin brothers lived in Nanjing, and Zhang Sheng was the manager for three times. Lin Weipu died on 1932. 1945 After Japan surrendered, Lin Weijin and Zhang Shengsan died one after another. After their successive deaths, Sheng Changxiang's grain store began to decline, from self-management to purchasing. This situation remained until the disintegration of the grain depot at the end of 1948.

1940 or so, which is the heyday of store operation and grain business. At that time, there were more than 70 large and small grain stores (72 in one word and 75 in two words). In addition to Shengchangxiang Grain Store, there are also large grain stores such as Shen Kangxiang (Tianjin), Lang (Zhejiang), Tongyixing and Hexingfa. The bosses of these grain companies mainly come from Tianjin, Zhejiang and Liuhe, and they are called Tianjin Gang, Zhejiang Gang and Liuhe Gang. Big grain companies do business directly with merchants, while small grain companies organize the supply of goods and earn handling fees and processing fees. Every year, more than 5,000 tons of miscellaneous grains are sent from this store to relevant ports. When was Mingguang Mung Bean famous? Who created this brand? This is a problem that has not been mentioned in many materials in the past. The survey results show that Shengchangxiang Grain Store exports to Southeast Asian countries, Hong Kong and Macao through resellers around 19 15. Zhang Shengsan (nicknamed Zhang Ershuaizi) is the meritorious service of Minglu in creating a brand.

Sheng Changxiang managed mung beans, sesame seeds, peanuts, soybeans and other miscellaneous grains in his early days, among which mung beans not only accounted for a large proportion, but also were particularly favored by merchants. John Zhang San, who has always had a business mind, decided to build a mung bean production base for himself after presiding over the promotion of Changxiang Grain Store. It is this business philosophy that has laid a solid foundation for Mingguang Mung Bean to enjoy a good reputation at home and abroad.

According to all the old people interviewed, Zhang Shengsan bought a wagon seed mung bean (30 tons, 50 tons) from Shandong at that time. After selection, he gave credit to second-hand dealers (in essence, providing seeds), and the second-hand dealers put them around farmers for planting, and then they concentrated the beans harvested by farmers in grain stores. At that time, people said that he dumped him. Maybe that's when Zhang Er abandoned his nickname. It is also the courage of Zhang Ershuaizi that not only makes Chang Xiang more and more interested, but also makes Zhang Ershuaizi famous.

At that time, the grain depot in charge of the store did not have a special domestic and foreign sales organization, and it was mainly resold by merchants in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Wuxi. Mung beans and miscellaneous grains issued by Changshengxiang Grain Store are selected and processed and sent to dealers. After three years' painstaking efforts, Shengchangxiang Grain Store and its resellers have become more and more honest. Later, as long as the resellers saw that the signature on the sack was Sheng Changxiang (who managed the store in Xuyi County, Anhui Province before 1932), they were all exempt from inspection. This was indeed a great event at that time.

Shengchangxiang Grain Store was a relatively large grain store at that time, with three courtyards and several large grain depots. Every acquisition season, people are angry. At that time, short-term workers hired more than 20 people. Zhang Shengsan not only has a branch in Shimen Mountain, but also sends people to Wuhe and Xuyi to organize the supply of goods. It is said that the bank allocates more than 40 wagons 1000 tons of mung beans every year, accounting for more than one-fifth of the total sales of the store.

At that time, there were many varieties of mung beans, including Sophora japonica leaves, large leaves, small leaves, large leaves, small leaves, string earthworms and so on. Shengchangxiang Grain Store is very particular about the processing of bright green, and its classification is strict. Except for hand-picked A-grade beans, the rest have to be screened three or four times before packaging. At that time, mung beans were divided into three categories, and the good one was category A, which was called special dish (picking beans by hand); Class B is called Daming Green (big seed); Class c is called pickles; Class D is called Xiao Minglu. Category AB is for export, while category CD is mainly sold in the domestic market. Due to quality problems, there is a big gap between different levels of purchase and sale. However, it is this quality difference that promotes farmers to plant high-quality bright green.

Generally, the mung beans distributed by banks to resellers are 90 kg per sack, and some are 100 kg. Their bean granules are uniform, and the proportion of water, impurities, imperfect granules and different color granules is lower than the export standard. In the 1970s, Mingguang Winery brewed a "bright green liquid" with rich aroma, sweet and mellow taste, crisp and refreshing taste, elegant bean flavor and long aftertaste, which has the functions of detoxifying, keeping out the cold, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals. When 1980 came out, it was well received by wine experts and was called "a wonderful flower in wine". People's Daily, Economic Information Daily, Beijing Evening News and other newspapers all published praise articles. "Bright green liquid" is also regarded as "the treasure of wine" by consumers. Its brewing process was awarded the invention patent certificate of China National Intellectual Property Administration in June 2003.

During the more than 20 years from 1980s to 2005, Minglu was once supplied to Zhongnanhai as a "tribute" (special need). Every time the general office of the provincial party Committee gives supply tasks. With the cooperation of the public security department, the seed company selects and packs it in small packages, and then the provincial public security department sends a special car to transport it away. The annual supply is about 400- 1000 kg. Due to the influence of production, the domestic and foreign markets were gradually occupied by other provinces, and even Lv Ming was registered by others. In view of the problems existing in fresh green production, the Municipal People's Congress deputies and CPPCC members have put forward suggestions for developing mung bean production for several years. Zhang Song, secretary of the municipal party Committee, said forcefully: "We can't let bright green be lost in our hands." Mayor Zhu Qinglong specially held an executive meeting to seriously study how to revitalize the fresh green industry, build a fresh green base, develop new varieties of fresh green, improve the yield and quality of fresh green, and allocate 654.38 million yuan from agricultural science and technology fees for trademark registration, commodity bar code and green food declaration. In the city's tourism planning, bright green is designated as a green tourism commodity to supply tourists. In 2004, Mingguang Mung Bean Association was established in our city. In the same year, he applied to the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce for the registration of the protection of the origin of Mingguang mung beans, and is currently waiting for the acceptance result.

Minglu is the main specialty and traditional export material of Mingguang, which enjoys a high reputation in domestic and foreign markets. We hope that through the careful implementation of this plan, the production and sales of Mingguang mung beans will be more brilliant.
