Returning to Yangjiacun, I have only been away for a year, but I feel that my hometown has changed a lot.
Along the way, many of the fields planted were no longer wheat, a winter crop, but patches of perennial herbs.
Especially after some farmers have tasted the benefits of selling herbal medicines, especially perennial herbs, which are more valuable the older they are, many farmers are now starting to plant them.
Leaving two acres of land at home to grow this kind of herb that takes years to gain a price can be regarded as a fixed deposit.
The other fields, whether used to grow crops or other annual herbs, are enough to cover the family's expenses for a year. So this investment is still very cost-effective.
The Chinese herbal medicine trading market gradually formed by growing Chinese herbal medicines has brought a lot of benefits to the local economy.
When the economy improved, the government began to organize road construction. Now, not only the roads in Yangjia Village, but also many nearby villages are connected to asphalt roads.
Yang Dongxu can no longer remember when the road-building policy for every village was implemented in the last generation. Anyway, now the entire villages in Wuli Township are basically connected to roads.
In addition to road construction, Wuli Township is also a new rural area that the city focuses on. This goes without saying whether it is the construction of the house or the layout of the surrounding scenery.
And compared to other places, green belts are built on both sides of the road. At the same time, flowers or landscape trees such as Four Seasons Green are planted in the green belts.
The things planted on both sides of the road in Wuli Township are very distinctive, including acacia trees.
Moreover, the fields on both sides of the road were planned to be planted with rapeseed years ago. In this way, after spring begins at the beginning of the year, the rapeseed flowers bloom first, and after the rapeseed flowers fade, the acacia trees begin to bloom.
After the flowers of the acacia trees disappeared, some Chinese herbal medicines such as peonies began to bloom in the farmland.
In short, from the beginning of spring to late autumn, you can see all kinds of flowers everywhere in Wuli Township. Even when there is frost in late autumn, you can still see golden chrysanthemums. Because chrysanthemum is also a type of Chinese herbal medicine, many farmers grow it.
The scenery is beautiful and there are all kinds of flowers. Gradually, the countryside begins to attract many tourists from the city, which adds another income to the farmers.
At the same time, when there are more flowers, there are more people keeping bees. Nowadays, the Baicao honey produced in Wuli Township is famous for its name.
In particular, honey collected from the period from summer to late autumn when many Chinese herbal medicines are blooming is also called Chinese medicinal honey. It is said that the nutritional value and nourishing and beauty effects are extremely high.
The price is more than twice as expensive as ordinary honey, but demand still exceeds supply.
In addition to honey, various rural local products are also very environmentally friendly. Even eggs and duck eggs at home are also the objects of tourists' rush to buy.
There are even many small vegetable gardens left by rural people, which the family could not finish eating. As a result, as the number of tourists gradually increased, the small vegetable garden began to run out of food.
For tourists who live nearby, their favorite thing before leaving is to buy a native chicken, get a few pounds of eggs, and get some freshly picked vegetables to take away.
This adds another income to farmers.
In addition, one of the biggest changes is that at the Yangjia Village Market, the village held a meeting and specially approved a piece of land to build a B&B.
In this era when everyone is still rushing to go to big cities to see high-rise buildings as a tourist, the promotion of homestays that recall hardships and sweet memories is undoubtedly at the forefront of the times.
And this advanced tourism project has become more popular than expected.
"The attention you gave?"
Not only has a piece of land been specially approved for bed and breakfast hotels at the west end of the street, the entire Yangjia Village is now being renovated, and many of them have even begun trial operations during the summer vacation. Every family will more or less set aside one or two rooms for a B&B.
Not only Yangjia Village, but even the entire Wuli Township is launching this project. If there is no support behind such a big movement, it will not be possible.
And the person who took the initiative to support must be none other than Zhou Ya, because the Yang family is the only one in the ten villages with this kind of prestige.
At the same time, any suggestions put forward by the Yang family will not only be unanimously approved by Yangjia Village, but even if the application is submitted to the town, it will be approved quickly by the city.
“Occasionally, I heard my father lament about the life of reform through labor. In addition to people like my father who were sent down to the countryside for reform, there were also a large number of educated youth who went to the countryside.
Although some of these people are already old, most of them are still young and have leisure time. These people have money and no shortage of time to relax occasionally. Can be used as a precise customer for B&B tourism. "
"Aren't they all going to the countryside in Wuli Township? Even if they want to remember the bitterness and sweetness, they should go to the place where they went to the countryside. They can't all go to Wuli Township, right?" Yang Dongxu still looked unhappy. untie.
“The easiest way to remember the past life is to go back to the place where you went to the countryside.
But it’s just a look. After all, rural areas across the country are still very poor, and roads in many places are impassable, let alone rural life.
If you go to a place like this and stay for three or two days, it's okay to look for the familiarity in your memory. If you live for a long time, or go several times a year, it is simply impossible.
I even went there once and kept it for three to five years. I even went back to see it once in my life, or at most before I died.
After all, it’s okay for people to endure hardship when it’s still in the novelty stage subconsciously. No one will like it if they persist for a long time. Zhou Ya said with a smile.
"So the precise customers for the B&B in Wuli Township are those who want to experience rural life again, but don't want to suffer all the time?" Yang Dongxu understood.
To sum up, everyone really misses the hard days in the past and yearns for rural life.
But no one likes to endure hardship once the novelty wears off, so rural tourism in Wuli Township was specially prepared for these people.
Come and live here in Wuli Township and live in a B&B to taste rural life, but this kind of rural life is not the rural life of eating cornbread.
It is a rural life of chickens, ducks and fish, getting up in the morning listening to the rooster crow, and breathing the air with the smell of crops. Wandering in the fields.
At noon, we sit under the shade of trees and eat popsicles. In the evening, retail friends gather together to eat the big drumsticks of local chickens... In short, the main purpose of everyone coming to experience rural life is to relax and enjoy themselves.
It’s not just to carry a hoe and go to work in the fields before dawn and make you ugly to death.
The transportation here in Wuli Village is extremely convenient, not to mention the scenery.
In order to protect the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine, let alone Wuli Township now, looking at this area of several connected townships, there is not even a chemical factory.
Drill a well directly, and the water from the well can be drank directly.
Although there are no cultural monuments, there is a profound Chinese herbal medicine culture.
With the original style and landscape of the countryside and the convenience and comfort of modern life, what better place to experience rural life than here?
"How much is the total investment?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help asking.
Linking several B&B tourism projects in towns and villages, this investment is not a small amount. Not to mention road construction alone, it is impossible to get the full approval from above.
Part of the above-mentioned subsidies, part of investment, and part of the funds raised by rural farmers themselves are the best way to quickly build roads.
Just wait for the money to be approved for road construction, and it won't be your turn until dawn.
"I don't know the specifics. Fuzhen negotiated directly with the city in the name of Sanwan Travel Agency. They said this was just a pilot and if it succeeded, they would choose other suitable places to replicate it.
After all, the plain scenery here is relatively simple. If it succeeds here, you can try it in mountain villages, seaside, or other places with different terrains and scenery such as the desert next door.
This is one of Fuzhen’s major tourism investment projects in the next five years after opening up foreign tourism routes. The name is rural tour.
The first batch of target customers are the educated youth who have gone to the countryside, and the second batch of customers are concentrated in first-tier cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, who are rich people who are not lonely and yearn for rural life.
There are also plans for the third and fourth batch of target customers, but that is too far away in five years. So for the time being, we’ll lock in the first two target customers, and we’ll basically be successful. "
"Fu Zhen never told me about this." Yang Dongxu said with some confusion.
"This is my first shot after giving birth to a child. Maybe I want to give you a surprise. Wouldn't you be surprised to see this scene when you come back?" Zhou Ya said with a smile.
"It's indeed quite unexpected." Yang Dongxu nodded, and then said with some worry, "The plain area is densely populated, and rural tourism involving so many villages is not easy to coordinate."
Don't always think that farmers are all honest and simple. There are honest and simple farmers, and there are not a few who curse for a little bit of land.
Especially when it comes to money, everyone has Xiao Jiujiu in their heart, and it is easy to cause conflicts over who has more and who has less.
"I don't know about other places, but here in our area, things like this can be easily solved."
Hearing what Zhou Ya said, Yang Dongxu couldn't help but nodded.
It's not his fault, the old Yang family in this far away country still has this little bit of face. Even if there is any conflict, you won't blush and you can sit down and talk.
As for those who are secretly jealous and cause trouble, no one really has the courage to do so. Even if he had the courage, people from the same village could break his spine without the Yang family taking action.
From raising pigs and vegetables in greenhouses at the beginning, to borrowing money to help people buy trucks and sports cars, to growing various Chinese herbal medicines in recent years.
The great improvement in the lives of farmers in the entire Wuli Township, and even the entire Chengwang City, is closely related to the guidance of the Yang family.
Therefore, it is absolutely easy to say a word to the Yang family in Shili and Baxiang. If you ask for something, everyone will be willing to follow the Yang family.
What's more, this time the Yang family is not taking them to rebel, but to further improve their lives. Only a sick person would be unwilling to do a good project that can make money at home.
As for deliberately causing trouble, all fools know that if they follow the Yang family, they will get something to eat.
"Mom has packed up the houses on the street and is preparing to continue opening a store?" Yang Dongxu couldn't help but ask.
The Yang family's shop has not been open for many years, and the houses on the street are usually inhabited. The stores facing the street are usually filled with sundries and other things.
When he came back today, he saw that the store on the first floor had been cleaned up. He thought it was his mother doing a year-end cleaning and putting things in their proper places. But now it seems that things are not that simple.
"My mother said that if tourists really start to come, our store is in such a good location and it would be a pity not to sell something. So we packed up the store on the first floor and prepared to renovate it."
"What are you going to buy? My parents are busy with the pig farm and the fields, so they don't have time to look at the store, right?"
"Selling mobile phones? We will set up a phone card processing office and payment office for Hua Xia Telecom. Then we will see whose daughter in the village or neighboring village is willing to let her come to work and pay wages. We don't have to have parents working all day long. Watch.”
"Hey, why didn't I think of this?" Yang Dongxu clapped his hands and felt that it would be good to open a mobile phone store.
Not only the phone card and payment office of Huaxia Telecom, but also the broadband management office can be integrated.
Anyway, whether it is mobile phones, Huaxia Telecom phone cards, or Huaxia Telecom broadband, they are all his own companies. It is not a matter of minutes to open a small branch down there, and the franchise fee is saved.
"You have a lot of things to do all day long. You can easily make tens of millions or hundreds of millions in business, so naturally you don't look down on such a small amount of money." Zhuo Qing'er curled his lips as he passed by.
"Did I provoke you?" Yang Dongxu turned his head and looked at the other person speechlessly.
"It's just because you don't like me, right?" Zhuo Qing'er snorted coldly, then reached out to pull Zhou Ya, "Come on, sister Zhou Ya, we have to wash clothes, wash vegetables and cook.
It's not like someone who only comes back once or twice a year, and every time he comes back he just acts like an uncle and doesn't do anything. "
this......
Yang Dongxu scratched his head, unable to refute this. When he returned home, he did behave like an uncle. There was not much farm work in winter.
My mother, Zhou Ya, and Aunt Hua, Cui Ma, and the others do housework at home, such as washing, cooking, etc., so they don't need him at all.
So every time I came home, I would either wander around with nothing to do, or drink from time to time with Xiao Wu and others. In the past, I would take Xiao Wen Chen with me.
Now that my son is so old, there is no need for him to look after him, so the only thing he can do is gone. What is he if he is not an uncle?
