Blue bricks and gray tiles, groups of ancient houses, and ...... shopsWalking into the Longhu Ancient Village located in Longhu Town, Chao'an District, the simple and modern atmosphere is blowing in the face, and it is always crowded here on weekends or holidays.
In the crowd, Xu Xiaobiao, a villager from Shitou Village, was seriously carrying out public security inspections. Since joining the village-run enterprise in Shitou Village in 2022, he has achieved employment at his "doorstep". "I used to have to work in the city, and sometimes I could only go home on weekends, but now I can take care of my family every day. ”
Like Xu Xiaobiao, there are more than 100 people in the same village who have obtained jobs in village-run enterprises. Driven by village-run enterprises, the collective economic income of Shitou Village in 2022 will exceed 1 million yuan. "The village collective economy has achieved self-'hematopoiesis', and we can do something in the village ourselves!** Hai, deputy secretary of the party committee of Shitou Village, said happily.
Xi reporter Chen Rouyan in the south.
Provide employment opportunities and have a good livelihood "at the doorstep".
Shitou Village is the location of Longhu Town** and one of the locations of Longhu Ancient Village, with a superior geographical location. How to make good use of the resources in hand, so that the village collective income from only relying on rental income of more than 300,000 yuan to more than 1 million yuan?
In February 2022, a village-run enterprise funded by Shitou Village Economic Association was established in the Shitou Village Committee. At present, the company mainly focuses on the application service industry, and through the integration of surplus labor in the village, it can bring more than 600,000 yuan of income to the village collective a year by integrating the surplus labor force in the village and contracting the work of public security and stability maintenance, sanitation and cleaning of Longhu Ancient Village.
With the continuous improvement of the popularity of Longhu Ancient Village, the number of tourists is increasing every day, if the public security, management and other aspects are not unified and standardized, it will greatly affect the tourist experience. It wouldn't be like this if there was someone to manage it!”
This is where the first business of the village-run enterprise in Shitou Village comes from. **Hai introduced, after the establishment of the village-run enterprise, Shitou Village contracted the Longhu Guzhai tourism development to maintain public security and sanitation and cleaning in Longhu Guzhai, and recruited employees through the village-run enterprise, which not only solved the livelihood of the surplus labor force in the village, but also made the management of Longhu Guzhai tend to be standardized and normalized.
Thanks to this village-run enterprise, the surplus labor force in Shitou Village has achieved employment "at the doorstep", and there is hope for life.
Huang Shunhui is a low-income household in the village, and his son died in an accident, leaving only his disabled wife and grandchildren in primary school, and the family lives on only the subsistence allowance. "Considering Huang Shunhui's actual situation, we found him as soon as the village-run enterprise was established and asked him if he would like to come to work and earn some wages to subsidize his family. *Hai introduced that after coming to work in the village-run enterprise, Huang Shunhui is mainly responsible for the maintenance of flowers and plants, and can receive regular wages every month, and his life is brighter. In addition, housewives who take care of their children at home and eat three meals a day also go to work and take charge of sanitation work in the ancient village, so that they can receive regular monthly salaries, and they also have a sense of gain.
Village-run enterprises, we are also doing it with the mentality of crossing the river by feeling the stones, and some work that cannot be carried out by the village committee can be completed through the help of enterprises. *Hai said that the village-run enterprises will continue to explore business methods and make their business bigger and stronger. "We will not be limited to the aspect of labor dispatch, but take a long-term view, skills training, deepening services and other work are being planned, and even radiate to the surrounding villages to provide employment opportunities for more people.
The integrated development of culture and tourism has many business opportunities to drive villagers to generate income.
Longhu Ancient Village was built in the Southern Song Dynasty, the Ming and Qing dynasties were the most prosperous, it was once the most important town in Chaoshan coastal area, and still retains more than 100 dwellings. With the boom in tourism, these ancient houses began to emit "fireworks" again.
Among them, the shops facing the street are the most typical. Among these shopkeepers, there is no shortage of villagers from Shitou Village. With the improvement of the overall environment of Longfor Ancient Village, their income has also achieved an unprecedented leap. Xu Yubin, a cadre from Shitou Village, happily calculated an account for them: "Longhu Ancient Village attracts about 600,000 tourists every year and generates more than 40 million yuan in tourism income”
According to reports, most of the storefronts of Longhu Ancient Village are the ancient houses of the villagers, driven by tourism, the villagers through self-management or rental, the income has come up all of a sudden, and many families are getting more and more prosperous.
Trendy milk tea shops, specialty shops, private restaurants, etc. have sprung up on the century-old stone road of the ancient village, and these stores have one thing in common - they have antique facades.
We have implemented the antique renovation of the façade of Longzhong Road, and newly renovated and opened 160 shops and 14 homestays. Xu Yubin introduced that Shitou Village also promoted the construction of intangible cultural heritage exhibition halls, comprehensive tourism experience centers and other projects, and upgraded the five extended branch road pedestrian streets of Longhu Ancient Village. Focus on the construction of "food street, tide handicraft street, cultural tourism and creative street" and other characteristic blocks, so that the ancient village and the new village linkage development.
The bean curd cake baked on the spot makes people look for flavor, and a pot of white syrup that pays attention to the heat makes a sweet but not greasy halva ......In the ancient village, there are many folk masters with unique skills, and the special snacks such as Longhu halva, stewed cake, and fermented bean curd cake made by them have become one of the unique flavors of Longhu ancient village.
And these will also become another "magic weapon" for villagers to increase their income and get rich. "Combined with the characteristics of local resources, we plan to build an e-commerce base for Longfor specialties, build a food street based on special snacks such as Longhu halva, stewed cakes, oysters, etc., and build a new platform model of 'culture + experience' and 'culture + business'. ”
Nowadays, a tourism circle integrating culture, tourism and commerce is gradually taking shape in this town, and the villagers of Shitou Village will see more development opportunities.
The living facilities are perfect, and the life of the ancient village is more happy.
The "money bags" of the village collectives have swelled, and the lives of the villagers have also improved. With the continuous improvement of various infrastructure and living facilities in Shitou Village, the villagers of Guzhai have lived a "modern" "urban life".
In the morning, I exercised at the Shitou Village Cultural Square, then went to the newly built farmers' market to buy groceries, and drove home along the black-bottomed village roadWake up from a nap and come to Longhu Ancient Village to experience the century-old history. This is a leisurely day for retired seniors in Shitou Village.
The street market occupies the road and the garbage is piled up all over the ground, which is the first impression of a rural market. Today, with an investment of nearly 8 million yuan, the three-storey Shitou Village Farmers' Market has greatly enriched the "vegetable basket" of the villagers. Many villagers also saw business opportunities and started small businesses in the market.
In the past, the market was small and a bit chaotic, and the roads in the village were all dirt roads and very narrow. It's different now, and as a villager, I feel very happy!Ms. Xu, a villager, said.
In rural areas, cement roads are already very good, but most of the roads in our village are paved with asphalt, which greatly reduces dust and noise. According to Mr. Huang, who runs a pastry shop on Dragon Stork Road, because of the ongoing construction of Chaoshan Road, people from surrounding towns and villages will take a detour to the city on Dragon Stork Road. "Because the driving experience has been greatly improved. He said.
From this hard-bottomed road, we can see the strength of Shitou Village.
In order to optimize the traffic context, Shitou Village has renovated and upgraded the main roads of Longdong Road and Longtuo Road, and implemented hard-bottom construction of 188 village roads. No matter where you walk in Shitou Village, you can feel the modern atmosphere of this ancient village.
Last year, Shitou Primary School was equipped with air conditioning, and the children can enjoy the same high-quality Xi environment as the children in the city. Recently, Shitou Primary School applied for the modification of the transformer due to insufficient electricity, and the village committee raised more than 300,000 yuan for full support. "After the collective income of the village increases, we will further improve the infrastructure construction of the whole village and optimize the educational conditions, so that the villagers can have a greater sense of gain and happiness. ”
During the interview, the reporter also learned that around the development of enriching the people and rejuvenating the village industry, Shitou Village will plan to build agricultural development areas, flower and forest planting areas, and characteristic vegetable planting areas according to local conditions, so as to increase agricultural production and efficiency, create an industrial development model of "cooperatives + bases + farmers", and develop rural modern agriculture, green industries and eco-tourism in various forms to promote rural economic development.
