Nanyue Xiaotai Farm
? The sound of cicadas chirping all night, the sound of gurgling water all night, and the spring flowers and autumn moon blown by the gentle breeze all night. There was a hint of coolness, and occasionally the birds flew past the window in groups and flew to the green peaks. I woke up in the poetry of dawn, in the fragrance of bamboo floating in the green mountains and green waters, and in the beautiful and pleasing landscape paintings.
Because of my article "Nanyue Fangguang Temple", because the text and photos reflected the leisurely elegance of my wife and children in the comfortable environment of Nanyue Fangguang Temple, the article aroused great response in the circle of friends. My employees insisted that I increase the opportunity to travel to Nanyue Fangguang Temple, and my friends asked me to lead a group for summer vacation. So, when the people of Hengyang City were experiencing the hot barbecue life, for the second time in ten days, I went deep into the fresh and cool embrace of Nanyue Mountain and took a leisure break at Xiaotai Farm, 200 meters downstream of the Fangguang Temple Canal.
? The owner of Xiaotai Farm is named Zeng, and his wife is named Wang. They have two children, Huanhuan and Ruirui, and their grandparents are all over seventy years old. Boss Zeng is an electrician from the local village of Fangguang Temple, Baidian Township, Nanyue. Xiaotai Farm is usually managed by the proprietress Xiao Wang, and Boss Zeng is responsible for purchasing and picking up and dropping off guests. The grandparents are responsible for taking care of the grandson, and help Xiao Wang when they have time. Xiao Zeng is honest, honest, hard-working and simple, while Xiao Wang is virtuous, generous and rich in business acumen. Xiao Zeng and his wife planted many green vegetables in their vegetable plot and raised dozens of native chickens. All meals at the farm are cooked with dead wood and bamboo cut from the mountains. Xiao Wang is a good cook, and all the guests who come here like her cooking. Tender pumpkin vine tips, tender sweet potato vine tips, and hibiscus flowers that are not available to city dwellers are all home-cooked dishes that guests here like to order. The loofahs, pumpkins, winter melons, cucumbers, bitter gourds, beans, water spinach, eggplants, etc. here are all grown by our own family or neighbors. No pesticides are sprinkled on them. Farmers fertilize them and they are absolutely green food. During the season when wild vegetables are produced, Boss Zeng and his wife will work tirelessly to pick them for us. I have eaten purslane, wild garlic, water celery, Houttuynia cordata, bracken, wild chrysanthemums, toon, etc. at their farm. These freshly picked vegetables Wild vegetables greatly satisfy our curiosity.
? Last night, we played cards until about twelve o'clock in the evening. The boss, his wife, and grandparents were all busy. It is really not easy to provide meals for more than 30 people, clean eight rooms, and provide on-call services to the residents. I thought to myself that it was only six o'clock in the morning, so the boss and his wife must not have gotten up, right? Walking to the stairs, I heard the sound of eggs being fried from the kitchen on the first floor. Xiao Wang and her mother-in-law were frying eggs in the kitchen and preparing noodles. I asked, what time did I work until last night, and why did I get up so early today? Xiao Wang said, I was busy until about 1 o'clock in the evening yesterday, and had to prepare breakfast for more than 20 people in the morning. Originally, I wanted to boil tea eggs, but the guests liked to eat them. Omelette, so I got up early to make omelette. Where is your boss? I asked again. Oh, at five o'clock in the morning, he drove to Maji Town, more than ten kilometers away, to buy fish, meat, and ducks - the cold spring water of Nanyue Mountain cannot feed home-cooked fish and ducks.
? The front and rear mountains of Nanyue are the first choice summer resorts in Hengyang, Changsha, Xiangtan, Zhuzhou, Chenzhou and other cities and counties. Although the back mountain of Nanyue is cooler and more comfortable than the front mountain, because it was developed late, not many people know about it, so strictly speaking, the back mountain's peak summer vacation period is less than two and a half months. Xiao Wang, who was born in 1990, is completely different from his peers. He sighed to me, there is no way, there is only two and a half months of peak season, so I can only work harder. During the peak season, I get up at around five o'clock every morning and work until one o'clock in the evening. My husband still has to go to work. My grandparents are so old, but they are still helping us. After the peak season, I can only set up a stall next to Fangguang Temple. Sell ??some fragrance.
? From the perspective of the entire leisure environment of Nanyue Back Mountain, Xiaotai Farm has a unique and excellent environment. It is close to Fangguang Temple, one of the five scenic spots in Nanyue. Devotees can feel the Buddhist atmosphere brought by the temple while relaxing. The clear spring water flowing from the Suo Valley on the mountain into the canal in front of Fangguang Temple also flows in front of Xiaotai Farm. Similarly, the fresh and cool breeze blowing from the original secondary forest passes through the towering trees in front of Fangguang Temple. Behind the tree-lined avenue, you will also caress Xiaotai Farm. In the hot summer, because Xiaotai Farm is backed by mountains, the mornings and evenings are cool and slightly hot at noon, and lunch breaks can be solved with just an electric fan. In the early morning, when the sun rises and shines on the earth, many leisure farms are fully "bathed" in the sun. The hot sunshine will make your already relaxed body and mind feel restless, and the dream of embracing your lover and bathing in love cannot continue... At this time, on the hillside directly opposite Xiaotai Farm, the sunlight could only drift gently over its head because of the thick trees.
? Xiaotai Farm has a very simple appearance, with a dozen or so suites in a two-story building, which seems so inconspicuous in the leisure villa, but its tranquility is the best place for us to escape from the noisy and bustling city. The sanitary conditions of the guest rooms at Xiaotai Farmhouse are absolutely clean, the service attitude is first-rate, and the accommodation and dining prices are affordable and moderate. Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Zeng are warm and generous. Whenever you have a break in the busy schedule, the proprietress will promptly present free seasonal fresh fruits in front of you. If you are lucky enough to bring your preschool-age grandson there, the cute and selfless Huanhuan and Ruirui will bring out a lot of toys from their home collection and become your grandson's loyal playmates.
? I have stayed at Xiaotai Farm three times. Each time, Boss Zeng and his wife were very considerate and considerate in providing customers with daily meals, and their warm attitude left an unforgettable impression on us. I have also visited other leisure farms and have better memories.
But for comparison, if you have spent time in other leisure resorts like me and have also visited Xiaotai Farm, I believe you will come to the same conclusion as me - it is wise for you to choose Xiaotai Farm for your summer vacation. Two choices!
