The cold dew has just passed, and people who are poetic and looking for the romantic autumn like to go to Zhanyuan Village, Tangwan Town, Guixi City. The autumn there is colorful and so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated and obsessed.
The leaves of tallow trees, sweet maples, and oxwax trees all over the mountains and ridges gradually deepen in color as the weather turns colder, and gradually turn red, from yellow and bright yellow to orange-red, deep red, and brilliant red. . Zhanyuan under the autumn sun is like falling into a gorgeous fairy tale world, colorful and dreamy. The intoxicating red leaves are so passionate, so extravagant, so charming, so full of vitality and appeal! It is as passionate as fire and as gorgeous as the rising sun.
If spring and summer occupancy is full of youth and vitality, then autumn and winter occupancy shows maturity and abundance. The wild fruits all over the mountain are ripe and attractive. Strings of gray wild kiwi fruit are hanging on the high branches beside the mountain road, and the small red thorn fruits are dazzling. Looking forward to you picking it, the grapefruits in front of and behind the house are also ripe and bright yellow. In autumn and winter, Zhanyuan is not only full of fruits, but also has gorgeous flowers. Look at the foot of the mountain, on the river beach, in the fields, and on the high slopes. The cockscombs and ginger lotus flowers are blooming so brightly and red, and the camellias are so pure and pure. The most surprising thing is that the reeds on the slopes and river beaches are actually a strange purple-red color. When the breeze comes, they wave to you affectionately. The lake water in Zhanyuan Mountain is also different from that outside the mountain, like pieces of emerald jasper inlaid among the colorful woods.
Those red leaves that look like fire and blood, those mountain fruits that are all over the mountains and plains, and those gorgeous and colorful mountain flowers have become the most beautiful scenery in autumn and winter!
Zhanyuan is a small village with a population of more than a thousand people under the jurisdiction of Wenfang, an ancient town in the mountains in southern Guixi. It is surrounded by mountains and has a fertile wilderness. Here there are high mountains, lakes, streams, ancient trees, reeds, birds chirping and flowers fragrant all year round, a true paradise.
When the maple leaves and tallow leaves in the mountains turn red, the hanging melons in Zhanyuan also ripen. We made an appointment to go to Zhanyuan for an interview the day before. Early the next morning, we took the private car of Peng Yanxiang, the first secretary of Zhanyuan Village, in the city and set off towards the mountains. The car entered Wenfang, circled the mountains with lush vegetation, and traveled along the road at the foot of the mountains through the autumn-rich mountains. The air in the mountains is refreshing and refreshing. The car turned nine twists and turns and stopped in an open area at the foot of a mountain surrounded by streams. A large area of ??still green and dancing melon vines spread along the foot of the mountain, which was spectacular. A middle-aged woman wearing camouflage uniform emerged from under the pergola. She walked toward us with a smile and greeted us warmly, carrying a basket of orange-yellow melons. Secretary Peng Yanxiang hurriedly introduced us to her as Zou Fangfang, secretary of the Zhanyuan Village Party Branch.
While still in the car, Secretary Peng Yanxiang introduced to us that the cultivation of hanging melons in Zhanyuan has become one of the important channels for the people in the village to get rich and increase their income. Zhanyuan is located in a remote area with inconvenient transportation and a weak village collective economy. How to develop and strengthen the village collective economy and help poor households get rid of poverty and become rich is a difficult problem facing the assistance cadres. The climate and soil in Zhanyuan Village are very suitable for growing hanging melons. In July 2019, the urban management cadres who assisted them organized village cadres to go to Qianshan City, Anhui Province to learn technology. After returning, they planted hanging melons according to local conditions to develop the village's collective economy. Village cadres took the lead Receive seeds. Now the village's melon base has expanded to more than 30 acres, which has attracted some poor households to participate in planting and provided them with entrepreneurial opportunities. As an industry, hanging melon cultivation has flourished in Zhanyuan.
When you walk into the base, you will see orange-yellow hanging melons everywhere. The pendants the size of goal balls are hanging under the green pergolas, which is really tempting. I got under the melon vine and smelled the melons. I felt drunk in my heart. I couldn't help but take a photo with an orange-yellow melon the size of a goal ball. Secretary Peng Yanxiang saw that I was so obsessed and said with a smile: "Diaoguo is full of treasures, and its fruits and roots can be used as medicine. It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" and major Chinese medicine dictionaries. Diaogua seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, protein, Seventeen kinds of amino acids and various trace elements have the effects of clearing the lungs, resolving phlegm, relieving cough, moistening the intestines, and laxative. It also has auxiliary effects on hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and high blood viscosity.
"
There were three or five villagers in the hanging melon base who were busy picking ripe hanging melons. They filled them with bamboo baskets and plastic buckets, and then mentioned On the road, they are loaded into trucks and transported back to the village, where they are peeled, washed and dried. Party Secretary Zou Fangfang said: “The melon seeds in our village are in great demand, and the supply exceeds demand. The production of hanging melons was affected by weather in the second half of this year, but this year's harvest is still good, and the profits will be distributed to poor households at the end of the year. ”
Today’s Zhanyuan people have lived up to the great natural resources of their hometown. They are growing Chinese melons in a decent manner, and Chinese bee breeding has also begun. Almost every household of the Zhanyuan people raises Chinese bees. The elves came to the farm by themselves. The people of Zhanyuan used wooden boxes and barrels to welcome them and settle down. The elves also knew how to be grateful and repaid the host with mellow honey.
If there is too much, it will become an industry. However, the aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley. If there is too much honey, sales will become a problem. Peng Yanxiang, the quick-thinking first secretary in the village, designed exquisite honey packaging and applied for a registered trademark. The original Chinese honey cultivated by Yuan Farm is sold inside and outside the province through supermarkets and the Internet, increasing the income of the village collective and mountain residents. Secretary Peng Yanxiang led us to a family at the foot of the mountain who has been keeping bees for decades, but after seeing the house. There are ten or twenty wooden beehives scattered in the open space beside the house. Most of the bees that are about to enter the winter are crowded in the hives and do not want to come out.
Good flowers make good honey, and honey is the source of it. "There are many flowers in our mountains in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the honey harvested is particularly sweet and mellow. " Zou Zhishu, who was accompanying us, said proudly.
The host was hospitable and took no time to invite us into the house to sit down. He scooped out the crystal white honey crystals with a spoon and added them to our tea bowls, stirring them evenly. Let's drink. A small sip refreshes the mind and leaves a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.
The people in the mountains are simple and hard-working. Most of the young people go out of the mountains to make a living in the cities outside the mountains or in the coastal cities further away. The left-behind villages are not idle, doing whatever they can to make their lives enjoyable. Teacher Xi is a person who can’t rest. He is over seventy years old and still strong. He has been a rural teacher for a long time. After retiring from his post, he was living a comfortable life, but he was restless and took the old woman to guard the machine room of the Guangyuan Hydropower Station at the foot of the mountain behind Zhanyuan Village. According to Mr. Xi’s own words, “We must do it if we can still do it. These things make life interesting."
There were few people in the mountains, so Mr. Xi and his wife raised a few dogs and chickens to liven things up. That day we went to Zhanyuan, and somehow Mr. Xi knew it, and he insisted He invited us to have dinner at his hydropower station home. That day, Teacher Xi just caught some small fish and shrimps from Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Together with the vegetables and fruits grown by his wife in the wasteland, the dinner was full of more than ten dishes. It's so rich. Teacher Xi and his wife live a leisurely life in a paradise. They hear the birds singing in the morning and listen to the birds singing in the evening. Teacher Xi is like a red leaf on Zhanyuan Mountain, which blooms even in the frosty autumn season. /p>
In autumn and winter, the water flow in the mountains dries up, and the hydropower station's units are often unable to operate at all, and can only maintain some of the units to generate electricity. We were so lucky that day, two of the three units of the power station were required to generate electricity at night. It can generate electricity of 10,000 to 20,000 kilowatt-hours. When talking about power generation, Teacher Xi's eyes are full of joy, and he can't hide his pride in reaping happiness after his hard work.
After dinner, he returned to the city from the hydropower station and looked through the car window. I saw that the leaves of the maples and tallow trees on the back of Zhanyuan Mountain were starting to turn red, but they were not as deep red as those in Shanyang. Secretary Peng Yanxiang said that in late autumn, the mountains and ridges were all ablaze, and all the forests in Zhanyuan were dyed. It will be even more beautiful. The people of Zhanyuan are planning to build farmhouses and use the beautiful scenery gifted to them by nature to develop rural tourism.
When tourism in the mountains becomes more prosperous, the life of the people of Zhanyuan will be like late autumn. The maple leaves on the mountain are also becoming more prosperous.
