On the northeast side of the Songba Gorge in Guide County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, there is a village with the lowest altitude in Guide County, Sumba Village.
The village of Sumba is surrounded by mountains and faces the Yellow River. The turquoise Yellow River meanders from the mountains and valleys, forming a small bay lake in the village of Sumba, feeding the people who have lived here for generations.
The village of Sumba is next to the Yellow River, and once upon a time, when the Yellow River was at high tide in July and August, the villagers suffered from floods. "When the Yellow River rises, we move up a little, and when the Yellow River goes down, we go down a little, and often flood farmland and housing during the worst flood season." Jiao Ba Cai Rang, secretary of the village party branch, introduced that Sumba Village is close to the Yellow River, the earliest spring comes, and every mid-to-late March, the pear blossoms and apricot blossoms that spread over the mountains have bloomed.
Building new houses, building zhuangkuo, building roads, And Changing the face of Sumba Village. In 2013, the government subsidized 98,000 yuan per household to build a new housing house, and the whole village was relocated to a distance of one kilometer from the Yellow River. Just as the so-called "wine aroma is not afraid of deep alleys", the beautiful early spring beauty and ancient village architecture are gradually known, and the small mountain villages that "live in the depths" accurately capture the opportunity to develop rural tourism.
Farm stay
In the golden autumn season, The village of Sumba is more quiet than the bustling and lively villages of spring and summer, and the number of tourists has slowly decreased. Walking into the village, the yurt at the entrance of the village attracted the attention of reporters.
This yurt is a restaurant owned by villager Ren Qingcai and named "Sumba Restaurant". Ren Qingcai Jean said that the yurt was a temporary restaurant. In recent years, as the countryside tour has heated up, the family's farm is expanding, so it has temporarily built a yurt at the entrance of the village.
The couple put down their work and warmly invited the reporter into the house to drink. "This year's 'May Day', there will be a queue for dinner!" Ren Qingcai rang said that during the "May Day" period this year, his family's yurt income exceeded 10,000 yuan a month, and when there were many tourists, there could be more than 50 people a day.
"In the past, the family planted 4 acres of land (1 acre is about equal to 0.067 hectares), and there was only a few thousand yuan of income at the end of the year, and it was only possible to save 10,000 yuan in three years. Ren Qingcai told reporters that his family opened the first farm in the village, at first there were not many tourists, and then as the village's fame grew, there were more and more tourists, and the annual income was about 30,000 yuan. In the past two years, the number of tourists in the village has surged, and he has invested all the money he has earned before, renovating the farmyard, expanding the scale, and upgrading the hardware facilities.
Surrounded by mountains, open the window to see the scenery, into the home of Ren Qing Cai, in the clean courtyard, autumn chrysanthemums blooming, the decoration of the house in addition to the traditional Tibetan furniture, but also added some new style of simplicity.
"When spring starts next year, my farm will be able to open its doors." Ren Qingcai sat on the kang, and joy overflowed on his face.
People come diligently. In recent years, the infrastructure of the village has been continuously improved, the industry is thriving, the ecological beauty, the industry is prosperous, and the people are rich, and this village deep in the mountains has attracted many outsiders.
"In previous years, villagers could only live on one acre and three points of land, and the yield of wheat and barley planted was not high, and their income could only be subsistence." Jiao Ba Cai Rang, secretary of the village party branch, introduced that in recent years, relying on the unique natural conditions and characteristic ancient villages, they have found a good way to get rid of poverty and get rich - to develop rural tourism.
Ren QingCai Rang is one of the beneficiaries of rural tourism.
During the "May Day" period this year, Sumba Village received a total of 200,000 tourists and achieved tourism income of more than 6 million yuan. In 2019, the per capita income of the whole village reached 10,600 yuan, which is 2.5 times that of 2014. Like Ren Qingcai, there are more than 20 farm owners who have made a fortune by eating "tourist meals".
Distilled liquor
Deng Dengjian, a 65-year-old party branch secretary who had been the secretary of the party branch for more than a decade, could not have imagined that the distilled liquor he had brewed at home had been sold outside the village. "Every year, in addition to the regular customers who come to buy wine here, there are also tourists from Xining and Haidong in the province, and Gansu, Shaanxi and Beijing outside the province."
Deng Deng saw a family of four generations making distilled liquor, once, the family's economic difficulties, wine is used to sell money, his family's wine has a certain reputation in the neighborhood. In recent years, with the gradual development of rural tourism, his family's wine has been known and purchased by more and more people. In the tide of poverty alleviation in the poverty alleviation industry, this altar distillation has become the poverty alleviation wine and wealth wine for the village to get rid of poverty and become well-off.
Before entering Deng Deng's house, there is a strong aroma of wine, a clean small courtyard, sitting north to south in a new house with a closed balcony for the family to live, the old house on the west side is a winery that accompanies Deng Deng every day.
"First make the koji, then boil the barley, ferment for 45 days, and can brew about 5 kilograms of wine at a time." The essence of barley is brewed into wine, and the dregs of barley are used to feed pigs, which is not wasteful and environmentally friendly. Deng Deng said that the stove of shochu has been changed several times, but these winemaking tools have not changed. He insisted on doing this because the distilled liquor brewed with these traditional tools would have a "memory" taste, which in his view was difficult to achieve with modern brewing utensils.
By the end of September this year, the family had brewed a total of 400 kilograms of distilled liquor. "Home brewing does not require too much manpower, it is not very troublesome, our old two wines are enough to live a good life of wealth." At the end of the year, the income is about 20,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan, and when it sells at its best, it sells 40,000 yuan a year. Deng Deng said. It's homemade, handmade, and tastes good! "There was a small stall in front of Deng Deng's house, and when guests from afar came, he poured wine and let everyone taste his craft.
Making distilled liquor has certain requirements for temperature, too hot to make good wine, so every autumn and winter is the best time for Deng Deng to see winemaking. Their family grows 3 acres of land, all of which are used to grow barley, harvesting more than 500 kilograms a year, and this year's distillate sales are good, and he also bought 400 kilograms of barley from outside.
In the past, there was no road in the village, even if the "wine aroma" could not go out, now the village village is on fire, the road is repaired, and the distilled liquor of his own family has been sold. In the past few years, under his leadership, the people in the village who used to brew distilled liquor have begun to return to their old business and live a good life in a drop of sweet distilled liquor.
"You can't earn money alone, you have to earn it with the whole village." Deng Dengjian plans to expand the scale of winemaking next year, make the industry bigger and better, spread the culture of distilled liquor, and drive more villagers to get rid of poverty and become rich.
