Tangxia has Shangsha to the west and Tangdong to the east, both of which are urban villages. And Zhongshan Road all the way to the south is the government planned financial city, the average price of the house tens of thousands of a square foot. The street is separated by a street, but it is a completely different two worlds.
In the eyes of many people, urban villages are dirty, gambling and drugs are synonymous. But in my eyes, urban villages represent one of the most attractive aspects of Guangzhou's metropolis temperament: tolerance and diversity.
Here, there are fresh graduates with dreams of working hard. The first time I've seen this, I've seen it, and I've seen it, and I've seen it. There are leisurely rent collectors playing cards sighing tea locals, there are stalls and vendors, three religions and nine streams are converging here collision. The existence of urban villages allows these grassroots to settle in the city center at low cost and have something to look forward to. In the gloomy light of the urban village, this place is actually very wonderful.
2, a few years ago I was doing Taobao sell women's clothing. Originally lived in the back door of the Huashi landlord expired two-room rent rose to more than 3,000, so I turned my attention to the village in a large area of the road in the alley to find a subletting of the house, the second floor of the three rooms and one hall light a little dark, three rooms and one hall at a total price of 1,100, it's really cheap.
The former tenant of the sublease is also a Taobao, 3 people, do heat transfer personalized custom products. The business is doing well, the living room is full of printed customer photos of pillows and packing supplies, every evening, the courier will go to the door to help pack packages together shipping. Heat transfer printing I did when I first graduated, more or less understand a little.
Cheng talked to me about his products, a face of pride, and I share their entrepreneurial insights and has been in other urban villages on the edge of the rental of a small building, intends to how to expand the business cloud, I hope that I took over the rental of his house, but also to do a big up. However, this is not the case...
So I became a member of Tongxia Village.
3, the upstairs tenants of this house has always been a mystery, every day from the kitchen window constantly dripping oil down, I have always suspected that is not in the refining of gutter oil. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to verify it until I left.
The house is in a triangular T-junction, there is a clinic, once I ate bad stomach, and cooking cut to the finger are dealt with here, very township clinic feet.
A road is a large stalls and restaurants, every night no matter whether there is a ball game, party chat, drinking and bragging crazy are very lively. The night snacks have just dispersed, the breakfast stalls will take over the open stalls, as if no matter what time to go out there is always good food waiting for you.
Behind the stalls there is a Zhanjiang people open a very fragrant Zhanjiang chicken restaurant, as no chicken do not like Hainan people, I have a period of time dinner often to patronize. White cut chicken, white cut duck, white cut pork, even the side dishes are boiled. Chicken is sweet, rice into the chicken soup chicken oil stew, dipping sauce is soy sauce garlic, each person with a bowl of chicken blood and bean sprouts chicken soup. Simply and my home is not white cut or broth hot pot world a hair, eat a mouthful of chicken oil flavor ah really cool. Well, cut chicken ah sister looks good ~ haha
Another road has a less than half a meter front, a small brother to take care of. Black tofu and a frying pan next to some toppings, 3 dollars for 5 slices 5 dollars for 8 slices. One day in the middle of the night downstairs for food, I was curious to try, the little brother is very serious about the number of good tofu frying in the pot, while the long chopsticks have been fried black stirring, deep-fried soft and then fished on, seriously each tofu broken in the middle of adding sour bean curd asparagus chili pepper and broth, a small bowl of hot, eaten unendingly every day to a bowl to relieve the cravings. Later realized that this is called Changsha stinky tofu, but unfortunately after the closure of this mini-store, other places to eat black classic and go to Changsha to eat the stinky tofu of the Palace of Fire are no longer so heartfelt and tasty (the most difficult to eat is the stinky tofu eaten in the most famous Changsha Palace of Fire!)
4, later to the village villagers contracted the building management of the foreign second landlord intends to renovate the whole building upgrade, so I have moved to the next street of the villagers funded the construction of small property rights.
When I moved, I paid a closet and two broken beds for the moving expenses to the urban villages featured by the stick gangs that have been playing cards and other businesses at the intersection, and collecting second-hand furniture and appliances and moving goods on a small wheel.
The new house is close to the Tongde Garden, the conditions are slightly better, inside the Tongde Garden every night there are a lot of grandparents in the square dance and a lot of sports young people. There are a lot of women with children at home by the side of Tongde South Road, will sit on the roadside to chat and watch the children.
Downstairs across the street there is a nationally renowned chain brand "Long Jiang pig's foot restaurant", it is said that the entire Long Jiang city only a pig's foot restaurant, but his disciples and grandchildren but the Long Jiang pig's foot rice opened up all over the north and south of the river. It is also said that some unscrupulous businessmen in order to business, will be put in the marinade in the magical poppy husk will make people eat addictive.
Next door to the Long Jiang pig's feet rice is a northeastern uncle opened a dumpling stall, 5 dollars a dumpling, simple and clean. After a period of time but gone, and then came a Northeast uncle to sell watermelon apples made fruit stall has persisted.
Downstairs there is a Xinjiang people's lamb kebab stall, although the recent urban village large rectification cleanup, clear away a lot of small stalls and vendors, but these Xinjiang small brother hard to carry not to be cleaned up and the city management to fight, from the roadside small lamb kebab stalls dry to the roadside slaughtering sheep selling meat and selling buns kebabs one-stop service ~ ~ it seems that the city management is also a gnawing on the bones of the goat ah ~
Begonia is relatively big! vegetable market is at the junction of Ke Yun Road and Zhongshan Road next to the ditch that vegetable market, vegetable market, the innermost, there is a Chaoshan people open kuey teow store, fresh pork mash, now steamed and cut kuey teow, mellow soup has been standing in the Tongxia vegetable market, and training a lot of disciples do not know where to branch out to go to ~
5, said the Tongxia have to say that the north-south connection between the BRT Tongxia village of the Dashan Street, the first half of this street is very narrow, overhead is cluttered with wires, the soles of the feet are all kinds of sewage. Like the rest of the village, a person divided into a piece of land, each building, completely disregarding the road congestion and lighting difficulties only focus on trying to build as large as possible. So whenever the time of work and work, this small main road is exceptionally lively, just a road crowded with people blocking people, there are buying snacks snacks fruit, there are selling fast food box lunch sugar water, there are selling vegetables meat, there are hairdressers have clothing shoes and hats manicure shoes for rent. The merchants are exuberant to do business with the morning and evening peak commuters.
I was thinking, every day in the crowd back and forth in the commuters, because there is this hot and lively will be a few more points of warmth or will be set off more lonely?
6, here is Tongxia, here is the village.
The houses here are close to each other, and often the lights need to be turned on during the day, and cell phones need to be placed on the windowsill to get a signal. Late at night, there may even be a street urchin in the alleys.
Here a lot of different regional characteristics of the country's restaurants, constantly open off the open, there is a tide like the rise and tide like the recession of the beer duck happy flower armor powder chestnut cakes and other snacks, but also standing Shaxian snacks Longjiang pig's feet rice Huazhou sugar water. There are also many second-hand thrift stores, countless convenience stores, several food markets, several pharmacies, clinics, barber stores and vendors.
Even the landlords who manage the rental properties here have become strangers.
This is a small village made up of strangers and locals, with sunny dreams and darkness. It's extraordinarily real and exciting.
It's a small village of strangers and locals.
