The food was not enough every year, people start thinking about what kind of food should be planted? The Persimmon was famous here, so some people suggested to plant more persimmons to sell, most of the people were agreed. After a few years, there are persimmon trees all over the mountains and plains, the people began to worry how to sell. Because at that time, the village traffic was bad, especially in the rainy days, so people can only look at the covered everywhere persimmons were bad on the tree. A persimmon processing plant was appeared in the village until 2011, factory people repaired the road for us, it was not only convenient for people to pick persimmons, and the persimmons were in good sales. The villagers also can make use of spare time to earn some monry in the factory.' Grandpa said here with a smile.
