Spring is the most beautiful season of the year. Driving to Pinglu Caochuan, driving on the Yellow River No. 1 tourist highway surrounded by mountains, the spring color in the mountains is like a pen in the hands of the painter, some are understated, and there are also strong colors. The grass in the valley is green and the flowers are in full bloom.
When you arrive at Liujialing Village, Caochuan Town, you can walk down the path, and the straight and green bamboos come into view, making a "whooshing" sound with the wind.
After passing through the bamboo forest path, you will arrive at the destination of this trip - Hongjia Manor. Under the leadership of Zhang Xiaojun, the person in charge, we first visited the small garden he created.
There are spring flowers, cherry blossoms, peonies, and ...... Zhang Xiaojun introduced his masterpieces like a few treasures. "In the beginning, I simply wanted to improve the environment in front of my house. When the environment is good, life is comfortable. Zhang Xiaojun said that he didn't expect that he would be 10 years younger.
The tiles removed from the old houses in the village have become the protagonists of slope protection and soil consolidation; the stone grinding discs that the peasant families do not want are pulled back to decorate the small garden; the discarded wood, or combined or simply carved and hung around the pavilion; the small stones picked up by the river pave the garden path...... "There is no overall plan, you can get it wherever you want." Zhang Xiaojun said.
As you walk down the path, you immediately have the feeling of "walking dozens of steps and suddenly opening up" - the large farm is in full view. Here, you can enjoy the slow life of the countryside, in the super large farm, the breeze is blowing, the green waves are rippling, there are large patches of southern schisandra, and all kinds of cute animals are leisurely eating. "I just started to transfer more than 20 acres of land, mainly growing wheat and corn. Later, it was found that the market prospect of Chinese medicinal materials was great, so 80 acres of land were transferred and began to plant Schisandra chinensis. Zhang Xiaojun said. Now Zhang Xiaojun's small garden and bamboo garden have become famous, and villagers from nearby villages and even people from Pinglu County have come to check in. "There are often people who want to buy farmers' 'oil nests' and local eggs. Zhang Xiaojun said that if his family did not have it, he would help to contact and increase the income of the surrounding villagers.
There are many similar things, Zhang Xiaojun thought that if he could combine his farm with tourism, bring in and stay in the city, and have consumption, then the people would be able to have more income. Therefore, relying on the unique conditions of Liujialing Village's greenness and ecology, he built a set of "leisure, sightseeing, entertainment, dining, summer and coolness" as one of the attractions by building characteristic farmhouse restaurants and planting various crops, and Hongjia Manor was born.
"During the 'May Day' holiday, the May fairies and small cherries in the mountains will also be ripe, and the scenery will be more beautiful. Zhang Xiaojun said that they will provide special services such as tea tasting, leisure and entertainment, outdoor barbecue, farmhouse food, fruit picking, etc., and sincerely invite everyone to come to Liujialing Village to experience a different life.
