Introduction: my country's rural revitalization strategy has been implemented for almost five years. In these five years, many backward villages have completed the transformation, turning into a well -known rich village. In these successful completion of the transformation, the "Yushui Chef Village" in Meizhou City, Guangdong Province is a typical example.

Rural Revitalization -New Countryside China

Before introducing the transformation of Yushui Village, let's first understand this village: According to the information disclosed on the Internet of Guangdong Province, Yushui Village is located in Chengdong Town, Meixian District, Meizhou City. , Located in the mountain valley. The main mountains are Songbaizhai, with 500 meters above sea level; the main rivers are rivers and ginger streams; there are river pig cages small reservoir and Huangshakeng small reservoir in the village. Yushui Village was built in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It used to be named "small turbid water" and later renamed Yu Shui. [1]

There are two century -old banyan trees in Yushui Village, and the ancient post road of the Dragon Houkou passes through the village, and there is a cobblestone road with a length of about 300 meters long and 1.3 meters wide. There are still two rows of inns built more than 260 years ago on both sides of the post road, and they have been used as post shops and posts. At the same time, a ancient bridge was retained in the village, named ancestral bridge. In addition, the village was rated as an ancient village in Guangdong Province in 2012 and in 2013 as a traditional Chinese village. [1]

It can be seen that Yushui Village seems to be very suitable for the development of tourism, but it has now developed into a well -known chef village. So, before the implementation of the rural rejuvenation strategy, what difficulties did Yushui Village encountered, and why did it embark on the road of chef village?

1. Former Jade Water -Chinese Village in the Traditional Economic Model

The traditional economy of Yushui Village is mainly planting rice, as well as economic crops such as peanuts, soybeans, as well as fruit trees such as golden pomelo, Sanhua Li, citrus orange. ) Aquatic breeding also has a certain scale. [1] However, the income of farming is limited, and the income brought by the traditional economy is obviously not enough to support the development of Yushui Village. As a result, like many other traditional villages in China, young people in the village chose to work to make money. Fortunately, Meizhou's mineral resources in Yushui Village are rich. Young people who choose to work in the village can easily find a job near home.

Related data show that as of the beginning of 2022, there have been 54 types of mineral resources in Meizhou. Among them, 48 kinds of geological exploration were performed, and 30 were used. A total of 321 places in the mineral place, of which the scale of reserves reached 61, accounting for 19%. The specific mineral resources include coal, iron, copper, manganese, lead, zinc, silver, cricket, and rare earth. [2,3] Among these mineral resources, Meizhou's coal mine reserves are particularly many, and the reserves have been proven about 14,400 tons. Such a rich coal mine resources have attracted most of the youth labor in Yushui Village. At the end of last century, most of the villagers of Yushui Village made a living in coal mine work, and Yushui Village became a well -known "coal village".

Coal factory

However, since the 21st century, with the continuous attention of the country's environmental protection, the development of the coal industry with greater environmental damage has been greatly restricted. At the same time, due to emission reduction requirements, the domestic coal market has gone through a period of downturn, coupled with the impact of the "Xingning Mine Difficulty" accident on the coal industry in Guangzhou, the coal industry of Yushui Village has plummeted. For the relatively wealthy Guangdong Province, the coal mining industry was a small industry, but for Yushui Village at the time, the coal industry was the main source of income from the villagers. After the decline of the coal mine industry, the life of villagers gradually fell into a dilemma. Until the period of precision poverty alleviation, Yushui Village was rated as a poverty -stricken village in Guangdong Province. Faced with this situation, villagers had to start thinking about the development of poverty alleviation.

2. Small village transformation -from "Qiaotou shop" to "Yangzhou Night Market"

Yushui Village has a good geographical location, with mountains and water, and at the same time, there are a certain amount of monuments. As early as around 2010, the local government planned to develop rural tourism resources in Yushui Village, and strived to incorporate Yushui Village into the category of capitalist poverty alleviation projects in Guangdong. [4] However, for Yushui Village at that time, long -term mining operations have caused some damage to the environment. In addition, the development of the tourism industry needs to invest a lot of investment in infrastructure construction and promotion in the village. The recycling cycle is long, and Yushui Village eventually abandoned the road of tourist Village.

Fortunately, there is no end to the road, and the booming development of the coal industry in Yushui Village at the end of the 20th century has attracted a large number of coal miners who come to work. The workers were exhausted for a day, and they wanted to eat hot meals after get off work. Therefore, in the 1980s, villagers in Yushui Village began to open the restaurant. According to the villagers, the "Qiaotou shop" is the first restaurant opened by the villagers. The coal workers from work often come here to eat and drink. This area is also called "Yangzhou Night Market" by the villagers. [5]

With the continuous development of the coal industry in Yushui Village, the hotels in the village have become more and more, and the business is getting more and more popular. This also made some villagers realize that farming and working in the mine are not the only way out. At the beginning of the 21st century, after the coal industry in Yushui Village declined, the villagers began to consider the new way out. Due to the red fire of the restaurant business in the village and the low threshold of learning kitchen, many villagers chose to "put down the coal shovel and hold a big spoon". Later, many villagers went out and went out after the cooking. Hakka cuisine name -Hakka brewed tofu

In 2018, the Guangdong Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government proposed to carry out the "Cancai Master" project. As Hakka cuisine is an important branch of Cantonese cuisine, in order to respond to the provincial government's call, the Meizhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government of Yushui Village have formulated the "Meizhou" Hakka Cooking Master "Project Implementation Plan". Combining revitalization and precision poverty alleviation. Since then, the development of Yushui Village Catering Chef Industry has taken the Express Line. [6] Yushui Village has built the "Hakka cuisine Master" local talent training base, set up a cooking association platform, and creates a "kitchen out of the jade water" brand. The benign talent training model of famous chefs. The "coal village" in the past gradually transformed into a well -known "chef village".

Third, look at tonight -polish the golden business card of "Hometown of Chefs"

In 2019, Yushui Village successfully completed 100%poverty alleviation and successfully removed the hat of poor villages. After the evaluation of experts from the Guangdong Culinary Association, Yushui Village won the honor of "the hometown of Guangdong chefs" and became the first region in Guangdong Province to win this award. However, Yushui Village and Meizhou have not stopped here. In recent years, Meizhou has continued to promote the "Cantonese Master" project and gradually promoted it to the golden signboard of the "Yushui Chef". [5]

After years of development, the chefs of Yushui Village have shown a large number of (nearly half of the village in the village are engaged in the catering service industry), widely distributed (Yushui Village chefs are spread across dozens of provinces and cities across the country), The characteristics of many famous chefs across the country.

In addition, Meizhou City, which is located in Yushui Village, has established a number of Cantonese cuisine training bases, and has established the nation's first Hakka National Skills Master Studio and a number of provincial Cantonese cuisine master studios. In terms of brand building, Meizhou has formulated the "Establishment Implementation Plan for the Making Standards for Hakka Cai", and also improves the evaluation standard of "Cantonese Cuisine (Hakka Cai) Master". Give determination.

As of 2019, Yushui Village has continuously promoted the construction of new rural areas, improved the hard bottoming construction of rural roads, installed 185 street lights, realized the village's bright greening, and completed the treatment of environmental pollution caused by mining. [7] Of course, not only that, it is the so -called "to get rich first". Since 2017, the Meijiang District Transportation Bureau, which belongs to Yushui Village, has focused on the reconstruction of rural highways in the district. As of the end of 2018, the Highway of Yushui Village has been widened from 3.5 meters to 6.5 meters; now, all the establishment villages and 200 natural villages of Meijiang District have passed the hardening road. The foundation. [8]

[7] In this way, the villagers have money in their hands, and they have the confidence to consider the development of tourism.

At the end of the 20th century, a large number of high -quality coal "coal villages" were transported to the outside world, and it was also in the "cold snow" to the "coal" sent by the outside world: thanks to the "chef village" name. A large amount of social capital, at the same time, many famous chefs from Yushui Village also chose to go back to the village to start a business after hearing that his hometown has changed. Essence The chefs returning home not only brought chef technology to Yushui Village, but also brought their own fame and connections. Many people came to learn kitchen, and after arriving at Yushui Village, they were attracted by the beautiful scenery around the village and many historic sites in the village. Named together.

The original small village became lively. Some people came to learn kitchen and some people came to tourism. The villagers also started farmhouses through this boom, and the tourism industry in Yushui Village gradually developed. By using the deserted paddy fields and mountain forests to develop organic vegetables and aquaculture, it not only solves the employment problem of idle labor in the village, but also opens up the supply channel between green ingredients and dining tables. And these aquatic vegetables, as special "souvenirs", attract tourists who come to travel to buy and taste.
