(新春走基层)浙江新春见闻：乡村咖啡馆里“喝”出别样年味
中新网宁波1月26日电(记者 林波)将打好的奶泡倒入咖啡液中，随后左右晃动，杯子里慢慢呈现出一个“之”字奶泡痕迹……1月26日，在浙江省宁波市奉化区蒋家池头村，伴随着客户的点单声，店主陈梦琴正忙着一边制作咖啡，一边回复客户。
乡村咖啡馆“爆单”了，这是陈梦琴这个春节没有想到的事。
“之前生意也不错，但没想到能有如此火热的场景。”陈梦琴表示，春节期间，每日下午是店内最忙碌的时间段，“下午可以卖出上百杯咖啡，座无虚席，很多人还在排队等位。”
陈梦琴的壹伴咖啡于2022年7月开业。彼时，在外做服装生意的她在该村党支部书记陈伦的招引下，决定回村创业，在村口开了一家乡村咖啡馆。
除了咖啡外，她还提供蛋糕等甜品，“村子里生活节奏舒适，关键是客流量并不小，村子里的‘60后’‘70后’空了也会来喝一杯咖啡，吃一块蛋糕，再晒晒太阳打打毛衣。”
春节期间，这家乡村咖啡馆却“喝”出了城市大IP的客流。
据陈梦琴介绍，新增的客流大多是外来客人和本村返乡村民，“年轻客人特别多，咖啡馆还有桌子，他们可以在这里聊天、玩游戏。”
遇见·永旺咖啡馆一景。 受访者供图“没想到村里也有咖啡馆，下午是打瞌睡的时候，正好来杯咖啡提神。”前来旅游的“95后”游客曾心怡接受采访时表示，她和几个好友一起出来玩，正好可以在咖啡馆聊天。
在宁波市镇海区永旺村，稻田收割后的一片灰黄和蓝天白云交织在一起，组成了一幅冬日美景图。
遇见·永旺咖啡馆便坐落于此。
手持一杯咖啡，在推开窗便是稻田的窗前拍照……这是当地市民林曾的新年“打卡”剪影。
“拍一组乡村野趣与自然浪漫并存的新年照片。”林曾接受采访时表示，在春节假期行程表上，这家乡村咖啡馆是必“打卡”项目，“只要一杯咖啡就可以享受天幕、椅子等露营设备，既适合春节约朋友玩，也适合拍照。”
据遇见·永旺咖啡馆馆长裘俊杰介绍，春节期间，该咖啡馆仍保持营业状态，“每日9时至19时是我们的营业时间，一般下午是客流高峰，多的时候可以卖出300多杯咖啡。”
遇见·永旺咖啡馆一景。 受访者供图永旺村党委书记郭诚军于此前接受记者采访时表示，这里原来是一块农用设施房用地，经常有人偷倒垃圾，味道很大，“为了改变村容村貌，村里变废为宝，将其打造成花海风景，提高了乡村颜值。”
通过打造乡村咖啡馆，原本“平平无奇”的永旺村，一夜间声名鹊起。通过咖啡馆的引流，该村人气增加了，村民的手工艺品、土特产在家门口实现售卖。
与此同时，永旺村还在村里打造了游乐设施、民宿等要素，形成了新的乡村产业链，带动乡村振兴。
事实上，作为一种新型业态，乡村咖啡馆不仅为乡村吸引了年轻人，也为乡村振兴增加了亮点。
绍兴市岭南乡的三个月亮乡村咖啡馆、余姚市柿林村的老柿林咖啡馆、宁海县骆家坑村的绿岛咖啡屋……越来越多的咖啡馆出现在浙江乡村。特别是在春节期间，这些咖啡馆正展现着别样年味。(完)
中新网评：美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾****** 中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后，美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕，众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录，将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。  资料图：美国众议院共和党领袖麦卡锡。中新社记者 沙晗汀 摄由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素，众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中，美国民主党议员继续抱团，多轮投票中，一票不投麦卡锡，共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。 麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折，除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外，与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。 一方面，共和党党内反对者认为，麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱，无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府，另一方面，因为共和党的多数优势微弱，党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大，有利于他们巩固自己的选票。 此外，党内反对者也认为，自己的选票没有换取更多利益，希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步，比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。 作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物，众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任，选举几乎没有悬念。然而，麦卡锡此次为当选，不得不做出多个关键让步，其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制，使得众议长的权力被削弱，难以掌控众议院。 美国有线电视新闻网CNN称，麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步，这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。 这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下，党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上，美国两党相互拆台，陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内，也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系，相互对抗，选票变成了谋利益的工具。 从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举，“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈，长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力，其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。 两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病，美国所谓的“民主”形象，让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举，变成了政客们利益置换的游戏，进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能，不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。  House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy (ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy". The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader. Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party. On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration. On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses. Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees. As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives. But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker. CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful. This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally. Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits. From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public. Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world. The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
