As their followers grew, Wu and Huang decided to sell agricultural products. Therefore, they began to make and sell dried pickled radish using radish grown in the mountains in Litang County, Sichuan. In their first live broadcast, they received more than 10,000 orders, and the sales volume has increased steadily since then.
In 2021, nearly 40 million kilograms of radish have been sold to all over the country, which has not only opened up the market for more than 100 radish growers, but also provided jobs for more than 200 locals in Luzhou. They planned to build a dried radish processing factory in Litang County in the new year, so as to promote the employment of local farmers in the county.
By exploring new forms and applying new technologies, Wu Qiuyue and his husband have made their own contribution to rural revitalization.
"I grew up in the countryside. I want to promote the specialties of my hometown and bring the good things in my hometown out of the mountains," Wu said.
