 Tibetan Jide Jincuo lives in Lishun Village of Qingshan Town in Qinghai Datong County. Farmers in Qinghai used to paste yak dung on walls to dry and use as firewood. More yak dung on the wall means more yaks breeding owned by that household. However, Jide does not breed yaks. She purchased Chinese caterpillar fungus from villagers and sells materials for Chinese traditional medicine. Now she has bought a large safe for caterpillar fungus and cash.
