[Explanation] Beside the main road leading to Yangtian Lake Scenic Area in Chenzhou, Hunan, there is a special farmhouse that can eat green and ecological local dishes such as Yaojia Nine Bowls, which is very popular among tourists.
Every morning, Zhao Shiqing, the owner of the farmhouse, goes door-to-door to buy fresh ingredients from the villagers.
With the development of local scenic spots, Zhao Shiqing not only successfully got rid of poverty, but also helped villagers sell Yaojia specialty products as a leader in getting rich, and took the express train of rural revitalization together.
Zhao Shiqing, 41, was born in a village of the Yao ethnic group in the mountainous area of southern Hunan. His ancestors migrated here 400 years ago.
In the early years, Zhao Shiqing's family of three generations and seven lived in a small brick house on the mountain, relying on him to do odd jobs and chop bamboo to make a living.

My wife and two children sleep in the same bed, just squeezed together, a wooden bed more than one meter wide, which leaks a bit, that is, sometimes it is cold and windy in winter.
The conditions are not good, so they (relatives) are reluctant to come to our house.
I have this idea, that in the future when my conditions are better, I will do it all over again, make up for them (relatives), and invite them to my house for a meal and a stay.
[Explanation] In 2014, Zhao Shiqing was identified as a poor household with a registered card.
In 2015, he participated in the poverty alleviation project of free chef skills training and worked hard to learn cooking skills.
Afterwards, good things happened one after another, such as ex-situ poverty alleviation and relocation, and the government gave his family a subsidy of 25,000 yuan per person for relocation.
In the Spring Festival of 2017, Zhao Shiqing's family moved into a new house from deep in the mountains.
At the end of the year, he paid off all his debts and got out of poverty.
In 2018, Zhao Shiqing seized the opportunity and opened a farmhouse next to the main road leading to Yangtian Lake in the southern alpine grassland.
With the development of local scenic spots and the continuous flow of passengers, Zhao Shiqing's income in 2021 will reach 150,000 yuan.

After the development of the tourist attraction in Yangtian Lake, our business is getting better and better.
During May Day, that business day (income) can reach about 3,000 yuan.
[Explanation] With the comprehensive advancement of rural revitalization work, with years of hard work and struggle, Zhao Shiqing's family has become more and more prosperous.
In order to repay those who helped him, he insisted that all the ingredients be purchased from the villagers, and he also helped everyone sell Yaojia specialties, bacon, bitter bamboo shoots, wild vegetables and other agricultural products.
Under the leadership of Zhao Shiqing, many local villagers have changed their destiny with their own hard work, not only making their own smoke filled with happiness, but also contributing to the revitalization of the countryside.
