Diners pour three subways and two buses to come, eating lamb and drinking alcohol in large gulps? On the Feast of the Sheep in Fengxian Village, listening to the branches of the cello. July 9th | Zhuang Xing | Cello

Driving into Nanzhuang Road in Fengxian, I saw pear trees on both sides of the road with lush branches and leaves, and large and full fruits covering the branches. As we delve deeper into the "Huami Zhuang Xing" scenic area, parking on both sides of the road continues to meander, congestion intensifies, and the speed is forced to slow down. The bustling crowd crowded into the bustling farmhouse along the way, and diners rolled down the car window to take a deep breath. There was a faint mutton smell in the air, and the taste was right.

It's another dog days, which is a good time to go to Fengxian Village to eat lamb and drink shaojiu. On July 9th, the Fengxian special session of the weekly radio concert "Flower Rice Wine Banquet, Sheep Fat Pear Fragrance Summer" and the 16th Shanghai Zhuangxing Fuyang Festival opened at the Flower Rice Zhuangxing Scenic Area. The lamb soup pots at 17 lamb restaurants have all been cooked and are waiting for diners to come around the clock.

The cello played a song called "The Shepherd of Coco to the Sea", and the first pot of lamb soup from 2023 was brought to the stage. The chef sprinkled a handful of scallions on the scene, and the emerald green dots surged in the milky white soup bottom. The heat steamed and stimulated a more layered and mellow aroma.

Tang Guojun closed his eyes and took a deep sip of lamb soup, then opened his eyes with a satisfied smile on his lips. "Every year, it's just waiting for this sip and drinking lamb soup that summer begins." He is an old gourmet in the lamb industry. Although he lives in Jiading, he has hardly been absent during the Zhuang Xing Fu Yang Festival for over a decade, driving for over an hour every time. "Just for this hot lamb, it's more delicious than anywhere else," he said.

Jiang Qunying, who just moved to Zhuangxing from Henan last year, also brought her family to the restaurant on the sheep festival today and ordered the famous white cut mutton and sheep Noodles in soup. Jiang Qunying said that in the past, in Henan, only lamb was eaten during winter to supplement food. He did not expect that there was also a custom of eating lamb in the summer in the village. Today, when I tried it, it did have a different flavor from the lamb in my hometown.

Although the good taste of lamb soup has remained unchanged over the years, the different ways of playing during the Fuyang Festival every year always bring a refreshing feeling to the old diner Cao Lijuan. This year's Zhuang Xing Fu Yang Festival innovatively integrates traditional folk culture with high-quality music concerts, introduces the "time-honored" music brand "Weekly Radio Concert", and invites a large state-owned pop music professional group - Shanghai Light Music Troupe - to bring down-to-earth music concerts closer to beautiful countryside. Cao Lijuan sighed and said, "A few years ago, I ate meat and drank heavily under the sun. Although I enjoyed it thoroughly, I always felt a sense of Lu Zhishen's' rustic '. This year, being able to listen to the cello and eat meat made me feel much more refined."

In addition to adding icing on the cake, the crossover of the concert has also attracted more foot traffic for the Fuyang Festival. 65 year old Wang Pingzhou lives on Cao Road. She woke up at 5 o'clock this morning and took two subway buses three times to attend the Sunday Radio Music Festival. Coincidentally, it happened to be the Fu Yang Festival, so she prepared to drink a bowl of lamb soup before leaving.

At the opening ceremony, the "Summer Map of the Fuyang Festival" was also released. This map combines the unique attractions of the village, boutique homestays, and representative local farmhouses, guiding tourists to continue "eating, drinking, playing, and living" in the village besides eating lamb. Yang Cuimei, General Manager of Shanghai Huami Zhuangxing Tourism Investment Co., Ltd., expressed her hope to use this landscape gathering "scenic spot chain" to connect the scenery and rural tourism of each village in the town, extend the tourism chain, increase consumption and stay time, and give tourists more reasons to stay.

Borrowing the "sheep" to cross the border and drive the expansion of urban and rural consumption

This year, Zhuangxing Town also continues to adhere to the market-oriented festival, expand the depth of cooperation with Shanghai Guijiu, the leading enterprise in the town's Baijiu industry, make good use of the festival consumption scene, and build a cultural and creative market platform, aiming to take the festival as a starting point, realize the strong integration of the local agriculture, tourism, manufacturing and other industries, and help the enterprises, farmers, cooperatives and other enterprises in the area to develop together.

In addition, lamb warming, pear clearing, and Zhuangxing honey pear, as local specialty industries, will also take advantage of this Fuyang Festival to expand sales.

Shi Hanwei, the deputy mayor in charge of agriculture in Zhuangxing Town, said that the best tasting period for Zhuangxing honey pears is around July 25th to August 5th, which is very in line with the Fuyang Festival. For this purpose, the Agricultural and Rural Service Center of Zhuangxing Town has customized a limited time sales booth on the west side of the main venue of the Fuyang Festival, providing nearby villagers and farmers with the sale of their own pear orchards and other seasonal agricultural and sideline products. "It can not only avoid confusion caused by farmers' competition for stalls, ensure clean, standardized and beautiful sales points, but also leverage the spillover effect of the 'Fu Yang Festival' to increase people's income."

In addition to authentic lamb, there is another "sheep" running across the border during this Fu Yang Festival. At the Huami Village Tourist Consultation Service Center, the "Goat coffee" pop-up shop wafts with the aroma of coffee. Yang Cuimei introduced that "Goat coffee" is a local online coffee shop in Fengxian. This time, the name of Goat Coffee is very suitable for the occasion, and it also brings "Honey Pear Latte" and "American style Baijiu", which are limited in special flavor. The local honey pears and Baijiu are integrated into the fragrant coffee. The combination of local and foreign cultures brings different flavor to the diners. "I hope that tourists can come to the Fuyang Festival, not only to taste the most 'local' and authentic lamb barbecue wine, but also to leave a more trendy and youthful experience, creating more IPs for the village." Yang Cuimei said.

In summer, Yang Quan, a delivery rider from Lincang, Yunnan, has once again encountered the toughest delivery season of the year. However, his heart is steadfast: the "Warm New Nest" new employment group service station in front of the Zhaofeng Square in Zhongshan Park is a harbor for him and his colleagues to shelter from wind and rain throughout the year, regardless of the extreme cold or heat. This is one of the many "warm new nests" in Changning District. Yang Quan, born on the banks of the Lancang River and born in the 1990s, did not know that in the bustling city center of Shanghai, many people used to live in shabby houses, some of whom also faced insurmountable difficulties such as serious illness and unemployment. The Huayang Road Street in Changning District, where Zhaofeng Square is located, is one of them. 30 years ago, grassroots cadres in Huayang visited day and night to understand the living conditions of all the disadvantaged groups and helped them solve difficulties one by one.
