Chinanews.com, Jinhua, July 15th, title: Zhejiang Rural Observation: Why is the dowry old furniture hidden in the basement?
The author is strict
Recently, the author visited Pan’an, Zhejiang, and stayed at a local farmhouse, and was impressed by three things.
Zhejiang Pan’an is located in the middle of Zhejiang. Huaxi is a well-known local scenic spot. It attracts many tourists with the “Golden Business Card” of “appreciating the wonders of volcanoes for billions of years and wading in the long river with a flat length of 1000 meters”.

Huaxi Village is a homestay village. The homestay where the author stayed is called “Flower Language Listening to the Stream”. The owner, Lao Li, said that it used to be a poor mountain ditch. There was no road or electricity. It’s hard to get a wife.
Now, Huaxi Village has started the whole village transformation with the goal of “integration of scenery and villages”, and the villagers’ income through running homestays and farmhouses has increased significantly. Farmers operating homestays in the village had the highest income of more than 1.3 million yuan last year, and the lowest income was 100,000 to 200,000 yuan. They realized the beautiful scenery and increased income at the “doorstep”.
The first impression to the author of Lao Li’s Homestay is that it is clean and tidy.

For a long time, the most criticized thing about farmhouses is the hygiene condition, but Lao Li’s house has clean windows and complete facilities, and the hygiene conditions are not inferior to star hotels.
Lao Li said that now the bed linen and quilt cover of the homestay are washed uniformly by the village entrusted by the company.
The second impression is “delicious”.
Lao Li’s Homestay is a husband-and-wife team, and his wife is a chef. Most of the vegetables he eats are grown by himself. She specially recommended a local wild vegetable “Kumapi”, which has a unique flavor. Noodles, commonly known as “Dim Sum” locally, are said to be the door-to-door treatment of the new son-in-law.

The third most impressive one is a set of old furniture in the basement of Lao Li’s house.
Because Lao Li’s house is a new house and the furniture is brand new, in the basement of Lao Li’s house, the author saw a set of old furniture, cabinets, square tables, etc. with red lacquer and gold. He said that it was the belongings of his wife’s dowry decades ago. , fine workmanship and well-preserved, but he felt that the old furniture did not match the new decoration of the homestay, so he put it in the basement.
What impresses the author is not the dowry, but the dowry hidden in the basement.
In recent years, rural tourism in various places has been continuously upgraded, and farmhouses have also been iterated into homestays. However, the author noticed that many homestays are becoming more and more hotel-like, and they are as clean and hygienic as hotels. Therefore, there is the existence of a farmhouse. The reason why the homestay can be accommodated is because of the existence of the owner of the homestay. The tourists and the host live together, feel the atmosphere of the farmhouse, accept the host’s hospitality, and share the charm of the local culture. The biggest selling point and characteristic of the farmhouse is different from the hotel.
This set of dowry old furniture records the good memory of the owner of this homestay, and also witnesses the great historical changes in Huaxi, a mountain township, and accumulates local culture and emotions. If it is not stored in the basement, it is Entering the room, the host and the guest share, this old dowry furniture is the same as the handmade noodles made by the proprietress. The story and traditional culture behind it will give tourists more experience and more harvest.
Let this set of dowry old furniture come out of the basement, let the heirloom become the favorite of tourists, and transform the farmhouse life into the experience scene of rural tourism. I believe that the farmhouse will definitely be more enjoyable.
