There is a "golden vegetable field" hidden in the downtown area in Qianmen area, where the house price exceeds 100,000 yuan per square meter. Because the owner of this vegetable field grows a large number of radishes and cabbages here, many netizens jokingly call it "willful". In the past few days, there have been endless discussions about the owner of this vegetable field. Some people say that it is the "old Beijing" in the alley, some people say that it is the modern "Tao Yuanming" who spends a lot of money and pursues a secluded life, and many people admire it and go to find out.
北京青年报记者探访发现,热传的“黄金菜地”位于西打磨厂街,长巷三条的胡同里,透过木栅栏,可以看到菜地里已经有成熟的青萝卜和成片的白菜,一片葱绿。但出人意料的是,菜地的主人并非“老北京”也不是“隐士”,而是一家企业。工作人员告诉北青报记者,菜地原本是暂时闲置的项目用地,目前交由集团旗下的物业公司在打理,而菜地里种出来的萝卜、白菜等,都会交给街道和社区,“办活动用,无偿分发给社区居民”。

前门现“黄金菜地”引热议
距离天安门广场仅数百米,周边房价每平方米超过10万元,大片的空地未做开发,而是用来种菜,这样任性的“农夫”,引发不少网友好奇,这块菜地也随即被称为“黄金菜地”。北青报记者注意到,对“黄金菜地”的讨论,源于微信公众号发布的一篇“游记”。“游记”中,公号小编在前门銮庆胡同附近,一条人迹罕至的小路两边,发现了隔路而对的两块菜地。“靠东的这块地儿,从前曾是破烂不堪的房子”,小编回忆,曾几次路过这里,但都是“虚门掩对”,后来“一日日看这里从一片破败的沙石瓦砾,变成现在的满园绿色”。
According to the calculation in Travel Notes, the area of vegetable field is about six or seven mu, and it is said that according to the land price in Qianmen area, this vegetable field can be described as "sky-high price".

There is a special person to take care of the cabbage and radish.
Does the vegetable field really exist and who owns it? With these questions, the reporter of Beiqing Daily came to Qianmen area. Follow the subway station to the southeast, walk into the west grinding factory street, and go a few hundred meters further, there are three long lanes. Walking along the third lane, you will see two wooden fences 100 meters away, facing each other across the path, which is the "golden vegetable field" mentioned in "Travel Notes".
The reporter of Beiqing Daily observed that the two vegetable fields are square and surrounded by cement bricks. In the vegetable fields in the east, half of them are neatly arranged Chinese cabbages, and the other half are white radishes and green radishes. Chinese cabbage has just held a group and has not yet grown up; Radish roots with thick wrists have "jumped" high above the soil. In the vegetable fields in the west, Chinese cabbage and spinach are planted. With the wind, the green leaves in two vegetable fields across the road are swaying.
The surrounding residents told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that the vegetable field was only available this year. "It used to be an old house in an alley, which was demolished and left empty for a long time." As for the owner of the vegetable field, most residents said that they were "unclear". A "farmer" who was tamping soil in a vegetable field, when asked, quickly explained that he was not the owner, but only the staff hired to take care of the vegetable field.
While walking, the reporter of Beiqing Daily found that there is more than one vegetable field in the hutong. Except for this one across the road, it goes east along Ximaochang Street, and there are two vegetable fields in the hutong on the south side, the largest one, with an area of about 7 mu. The decoration of several vegetable fields is similar, all of them are surrounded by cement bricks and wooden fences, and the doors are locked to prevent passers-by from entering at will, but the vegetables planted inside are slightly different, except radish, cabbage and spinach, and some vegetable fields are planted with coriander and potherb mustard.
Next to one of the vegetable fields, the reporter of Beiqing Daily met the mysterious owner of the vegetable field — — Li Qun (a pseudonym). Li Qun is neither an old resident who "grows vegetables willfully" in an alley, nor a "hermit" who lives an idyllic life in the city. He told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that he was a staff member of the Qianmen Service Center of Ronghe Property. "These plots are the project land of the group, which were temporarily idle and later taken out as vegetable fields." He introduced that at present, the vegetable fields are under the care of the staff of their property, and several vegetable farmers have been hired to take care of them.
detail
The grown vegetables are given to community residents free of charge.
In addition to the vegetable fields mentioned in Travel Notes, there are three similar vegetable fields in Qianmen Area A.. "There is no.2 vegetable field in the third lane of the long lane, and there are no.1, 3 and 4 vegetable fields. A total of more than ten acres of land, the vegetables you grow are mainly radish, cabbage, spinach, coriander and potherb. "
Li Qun recalled that vegetable fields were only made this summer. "These blocks are all project sites, which are temporarily idle. They were all covered with green nets on bare soil before. Around June of this year, the leaders of the group suggested that the land should be planted and served, and the land should not be left empty, and there are some green vegetables, which are comfortable for passers-by who come and go, and on the other hand, it can prevent dust. "
The work of growing vegetables was entrusted to the front door service center of Ronghe Property under the group. Because after the growing season of some vegetables, the property staff hired vegetable farmers, sorted out the vegetable fields and planted several kinds of vegetables that are often eaten in the north for winter. In a blink of an eye, four months have passed, and under careful care, the bare soil originally covered with green nets has revealed the green vegetable color. "Now only radishes are mature, and cabbage and potherb are still very small."
Where do the grown vegetables go, for sale or for internal supply? Li Qun shook his head. "No, we have our own canteen and a budget to buy food. We certainly won’t grow vegetables for ourselves." As for the place where vegetables go, a staff member said, for example, just in the past Double Ninth Festival, for three days in a row, the nearby Caoxi Community, Qiandong Community and Dajiang Community held activities. They pulled out 400 radishes that had just matured in the field, divided them into 200 pieces and gave them to community residents. "The residents who received the vegetables are very happy." The staff told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that these vegetables in the vegetable fields will be provided to streets and communities for activities in the future and distributed to nearby residents free of charge.
Asked whether the vegetable field will continue to be planted, Li Qun hesitated and replied, "I don’t know when the project site will be used. Once it needs to be used, the vegetable field should stop. If these plots have been idle, it is planned to diversify the types of vegetables planted next year as much as possible, and plant some seasonal fruits and vegetables such as strawberries and tomatoes.
