This treasure village cafe in Xiaoshan is amazing! Another dream movie~

First sight of the small courtyard: How deep is the courtyard?

The stunning transformation of a \”scrawled dog farm\”

Visiting this \”village cafe\” for the first time is like entering the \”Peach Blossom Spring\”. And we are all \”fishermen\” looking for the entrance.

Start from the Xie Jingan Chuanhua Township Creation Center, go all the way south, pass by green tiles and white walls, take country roads, and reach the foot of Anshan Mountain. Looking from a distance, there is a residential house hidden among the flowers and grass, and we are here.

The owner of \”Anshan Xiaoyuan\”, Sister Zhu Zhu Linmei, is from Anshan Village, Puyang Town. She and her husband once opened a pet shop in the Hangzhou Flower and Bird Market. For the dream of \”opening a coffee shop\”, she returned To this small courtyard in PuyangStart a business.

The small courtyard is the farmhouse of Zhu Linmei\’s family. It has always been a pet breeding base in the past, and people around it are accustomed to calling it the \”dog farm\”. At first, this place was rented out, and Zhu Linmei didn’t think so long-term. The idea of ​​returning to the countryside to open a store was just a coincidence.

“At first, I just wanted to renovate the farm house, mainly to make our life more comfortable after my husband and I retire. After all, we are married daughters, and we want to return to our hometown after retirement. Then I thought, why not use the farmhouse at home as a place for retirement in the future and provide a cup of coffee and peace for busy people. ”

I want to stay away from the steel forest in the city, go back to the village and build a beautiful house, meet all kinds of interesting people, make good coffee and grow beautiful flowers.

Zhu Linmei’s idea immediately won the support of her husband. Everyone worked together on planning and design, and the whole family was involved in the hot decoration project. Her husband, Uncle Han and her father were responsible for contributing, while Zhu Linmei was in charge Details, decoration style. Transporting stones and wood, making the muddy ground smooth and smooth again; building sheds, setting up tables and chairs, interior painting, space layout, planting flowers and plants…

From the beginning of the decoration, Sister Zhu recorded everything with her camera.

Through the photos, you can feel the atmosphere of the scene Busy – the ground is piled with various construction materials, and they are sweating profusely most of the time in the camera. Sister Zhu said with a smile, \”It was really hard to move bricks when I came back. ”

Some of the photos were obviously taken in the cold late autumn. The fields were half green and half yellow. Zhu Linmei wore a beret, an apron, and leather boots, throwing flower and plant seeds into the field, a pair of The look of the \”Mistress of Downton Abbey\”, that pose, is so cool

Some photos were taken on a rainy night. A lamp, a plate of chubby bread, a few cups of latte art coffee, a family with cats and dogs, nestled under the eaves and watching the children. In the hospital, we talked about the future. The busy day slipped away quietly in the aroma of wheat.

That’s it, indoor coffee area, open-air rest area, flower garden, fish pond, each small The prototype of the space is gradually taking shape.

At the end of 2023, “Scrawao Dog Village” transformed into a “village cafe” hidden in the flower courtyard \”. In this regard, Zhu Luodan, the women\’s director of Anshan Village, said that she was also impressed by Sister Zhu\’s ability to act and execute.

On a pleasant afternoon, I walked into the \”Anshan Courtyard\”. This place combines Southern French style and new Chinese style. The entire cafe has only one elevated floor, with tall green wrought iron doors, large blinds, and atmospheric green plants, vases, and chandeliers decorating every corner, as if traveling through France. A small garden in the countryside.

Outside the house is the \”Monet Garden\” carefully tended by Zhu Linmei, a yard of violets, cosmos, lilies, sunflowers… There are three pottery or porcelain vases on the coffee table, with water in the bottles. There are dewy bouquets of purple dew, lilies, and roses, all from the small garden outside the house. The aroma of flowers, grass, and coffee are all filling the small courtyard.

Since having this small courtyard, Zhu Linmei and her husband have started a new life.

In the early morning, Sa sweeps the courtyard, takes her cats and dogs to the garden to collect flower seeds, comes back to arrange flowers, change water, and decorate the stage. At ten o\’clock in the morning, the aroma of coffee wafts out, marking the beginning of the small courtyard\’s business day. When there are guests, I make coffee and bake cakes for them, and sometimes help take photos and edit pictures. My husband, Uncle Han, is a hidden chef. Occasionally, he will cook rice if he cannot satisfy the expectations of the guests, and make some soy sauce, dried duck and fish, Traditional delicacies such as fried rice cakes. At around ten o\’clock in the evening, the small courtyard fell into silence again.

\”If we hadn\’t returned to the countryside, we would have retreatedThe rest of your life will be boring, but with this coffee shop, you will have the feeling of ‘heaven here’. \”Sister Zhu said with a smile, \”As long as the water and electricity bills are recovered, it will be good to look at the flowers and make coffee every day. ”

And this pastoral romance arouses the admiration of Zhu Linmei’s friends and customers.

Zhu Linmei has a small group of her customers and friends, most of whom are women from the neighborhood. They run a small business at home and are willing to come here for a \”spiritual spa\” in their free time.

The regulars have long been familiar with each other, chatting and laughing, teasing cats and dogs, changing water for flowers and plants, and some simply come with baskets and steamed buns. , I want to give it to the sisters

Some guests are very nervous as soon as they enter the door. Helping familiarly, while doing the work in the store, he joked: \”Sister Zhu is so popular, there are more and more customers, don\’t ignore me then. \”Then just stay and work.\” \”Zhu Linmei poured coconut milk while \”replying\”, and the atmosphere in the hut suddenly became livelyGet up.

“Because our place is relatively far away, the customers who come here to consume are mainly customers from the town or the city. We opened this store in the hope that people around us can also drink a good cup of coffee in the countryside. During music festivals and holidays, the customer flow in the store will increase significantly. ”

Sister Zhu told reporters that for her, Anshan Courtyard is more like her own country living room. Here she welcomes travelers from all over the world, and occasionally chats with them. Many of them even become friends. She likes this kind of lifestyle, and therefore she is more determined to take root in the countryside and run the small courtyard well.

Sitting here drinking coffee, it seems that you have entered the world of a French manor. Everything is like the embodiment of \”poetry and distance\”. Last weekend, citizen Li Youyou came from the urban area After driving for nearly an hour, I finally arrived, and I was reluctant to leave. “Although the journey is long and the mountain road is rugged, I feel it is worth it when we finally get here. ”

The treasures in the courtyard must be excavated slowly.

For example, OK Sister Zhu, who is learning, constantly updates the menu in response to customer requests. In addition to a variety of latte, d
