Want to know what it's like to drink coffee in a pigsty?

In the past two days, a pigsty in Xiajiang Village, Fengshuling Town, Chun'an County has aroused heated discussion.

It turned out that the Xiajiang Village Committee issued an announcement on Wechat to attract investment for the transformation of its public pig sty. The announcement said that the public pigsty, which has an area of 1000 square meters, is open to public investment, requiring lessees to transform the public pigsty into a tourism business, such as specialty bars and boutique accommodation, with a contract period of about 20 years.

Can a pigsty be changed into a residential lodging? In response to netizens' questions, Miss Fang, the contact person in charge of investment promotion, said that the public pigsty in their village was built in 2012, and because villagers are not allowed to raise pigs in their own homes, a public pigsty has been built in the village to facilitate villagers to raise pigs. However, in recent years, the problem of the pigsty has been gradually exposed: on the one hand, the pigsty is relatively close to the villagers' residence, especially in summer, it gives off a strong smell and has a certain impact on the lives of the villagers. on the other hand, it also affects the development of tourism in the village. As a result, the village committee decided to transform this large public pigsty.

In fact, the utilization of pigsty waste is nothing new in Zhejiang. Not to mention residential accommodation, drinking coffee and tea in a pigsty has long been common.

In recent years, many farms in Zhejiang have played "face-changing". After pig wastewater treatment, fish can be raised without the slightest smell around the bullpen. The environment is good, so new forms of business such as "cow pen coffee" and "pig pen tea bar" are born.

In Tonglu, cattle pen coffee and pig pen tea bars have even become a business card for local rural tourism.

As early as the "National Day" Golden week in 2013, the Niulan Coffee side of Dipu Village, Jiangnan Town, Tonglu County, was a hit, and tourists were flooded. After that, the pig pen tea bar in Dippu Village officially opened in May 2014, which is no less popular than cattle pen coffee.

If you come to the pigsty tea bar, tourists will find it. In the farmyard, six pig pens of different sizes are arranged with vines crawling over the pebble walls of pig pens. Each pig pen also has a "cute" name: happy pig, good luck pig, happy pig. Bamboo baskets, pig troughs, buckets and other local materials adornment, add a simple flavor.

Shen Tufang, the owner of the tea bar, said that he worked hard in Hangzhou for many years and rented 14 pig pens for a makeover after returning to his hometown to start a business. In the process of transformation, she not only retains the original simple atmosphere, but also fills the environment with petty bourgeoisie atmosphere. During the May Day holiday when the teahouse opened, its daily turnover exceeded 10,000 yuan.

Behind each "exotic" pigsty is the fundamental containment of Zhejiang aquaculture pollution, animal husbandry is more beautiful and more ecological, and has become a national "model student". In October last year, the Ministry of Agriculture formally approved the establishment of the first animal husbandry green development demonstration province in China, and took the lead in starting the construction of beautiful pastures nationwide. At present, the first batch of more than 300 beautiful pastures with beautiful environment, beautiful products and beautiful income have been cultivated.

Each of these hundreds of farms has a good environment not inferior to the "pigsty tea bar".
