travel starts with photography

Chapter 153 Xinchang Ancient Town
Chen Xing had a very relaxed meal, he liked to chat with people who could talk.

This sister Cui is obviously very good at it.

The fellow named Lin Yu looked like a student who had just walked out of school, but she liked drinking very much. She drank most of a bottle of white wine inexplicably, and Chen Xing mainly ate vegetables.

When the dishes on the table were almost eaten, Cui Jingxian said: "Chen Xing, what do you think about joining us and becoming a contracted traveler for Honeycomb?"

"I can also feel your sincerity. I think it's no problem. How can we cooperate?"

He had no reason to refuse.

I didn't agree directly before, because I wanted to find more information, and I couldn't just listen to what others said.

Cui Jingxian heard that Chen Xing agreed, and she felt much more relaxed, and said: "You are the original content traveler we value very much this year, except for the column, we will give you 100-500 for each travel note you write. Rewards, and for every click, we will give you a share."

The reward is small, the important thing is the share.

Cui Jingxian seemed to be sure that Chen Xing would achieve great success, and she was stuck with Chen Xing in terms of share, and was even willing to increase the contract amount with Chen Xing.

"We generally don't sign such lucrative contracts with Travelers. Generally, a contract with Travelers only costs a few cents per click. Do you still have doubts? We definitely know everything."

"Are there any restrictions on travel notes?"

"There is no travel diary, but there is one more thing for us this time, and that is the column, which must not be written casually." Cui Jingxian said with a smile, she has achieved her goal this time, so she is in a good mood.

Travel notes belong to the personal behavior of travelers, even big-name travelers. If there is any change in the wind direction, at most, this travel note will be deleted, and it will not have any impact on their company.

But they invited people to write the column, and at least they are partially responsible for it.

Lin Yu went out to run errands and print contracts, while Chen Xing and Cui Jingxian chatted about columns.

However, the topic got off topic while chatting. Cui Jingxian was very surprised by Chen Xing's rich emotional experience. After Chen Xing said that he had been in love five times and all of them ended in failure, she stared and said:
"Really? I don't believe it!"

The male honeycomb employee who was in charge of being the driver had always been taciturn. Hearing this, he looked at Chen Xing and thought in his heart: "What is it to fall in love five times with this appearance? Once a day is fine."

"real."

Chen Xing told her about his trip to France this time.

"I went abroad this time because of a previous love experience. When I was young, I didn't know where the obsession came from. I always wanted to go to a romantic place to prove myself. After breaking up, I have to go by myself like a ritual. Come on, sister Cui probably thinks people like me are stupid, right?"

Cui Jingxian shook her head and said, "It's not stupid at all. You don't do such things when you're young. When we reach our age, we'll be old."

She also wants to have such a vigorous love story.

It's a pity that she joined the honeycomb company just after graduation. After so many years, her career has been promoted step by step, and everything has gone smoothly.Relying on his keen response to the market, he came to the position of director of the content department.

But love.

Absolutely not.

So she listened to Chen Xing talking about some stupid things she did because of love, envious but also listening quietly, she had no stories of her own to share.

"Then where do you want to go next?" Cui Jingxian asked.

"I have no travel plans for the time being. I have been running around before, and I will go to Paris next year for further studies, so I just want to stay at home with my parents during this time. Let's talk about it after the Chinese New Year."

Lin Yu walked in with the contract that had just been printed out, and said, "President Cui, Mr. Chen Xing, I'm back."

"Thank you." Cui Jingxian reached out to take the contract, glanced at it, and handed it to Chen Xing.

Chen Xing checked the contract again.

The signing fee is 400 million, which will be paid to Chen Xing's card in two installments. As long as the contract is signed, the initial 200 million will be available.

Chen Xing's signing hands were trembling.

After Cui Jingxian saw Chen Xing signed and pressed his fingerprints, she finally felt relieved. Now she doesn't have to worry about Ctrip or Tongcheng robbing people.Last month, they took a fancy to a female Internet celebrity, but she was snatched away by other travel companies when they were about to sign a contract.

After Chen Xing finished signing, everyone stood up.

"Pleasant to work with."

Chen Xing shook hands with her again, and said, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

After returning home, Chen Xing yelled, "Mom? Are you there?"

Mom is not here, but Dad is.

Chen Jiannan saw that Chen Xing's face was full of joy, and said, "Mom, I knew I was looking for your mother. Why don't you tell me if there is something happy?"

"I made money!"

"Who doesn't know, take pictures."

In fact, it took Chen Jiannan a long time to accept that Chen Xing could earn thousands of dollars by taking a few photos. If his son wasn't so lazy, he would earn more money than himself every minute.

It made him feel old.

"It's not about taking photos. A travel company approached me to sign a contract and gave me a signing fee of 200 million yuan!"

Chen Jiannan felt that he didn't hear clearly, so he tapped his ear and asked, "How much?!"

"200 million!!"

The early stage was 200 million, and there was still half of it left behind, but Chen Xing habitually hid it. A man should never let others find out how much he has saved.

The two looked at each other without speaking for a while.

Chen Jiannan stroked his hair, thinking that he was really old, and then said: "Tell your mother about it, by the way, is this true? Have you got the money?"

"arrive!"

When Chen Xing was still on his way back, he received a message from the bank that the account had already arrived.

He hurriedly called his mother, and after waiting for 10 minutes, Chen's mother also returned home. When she entered the room, she asked: "Son, son, is what you said on the phone true? They gave you 200 million? Show mom look!"

As soon as Chen Xing took out his mobile phone, it was immediately snatched away by Chen's mother.

Only then did he wake up.

I also wanted to save some private money first, but I was too excited and forgot all about it.

But fortunately, Mama Chen didn't ask for Chen Xing's money.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you want it or not. When Chen Xing first made money, Chen's mother wanted to keep all the money for fear that Chen Xing would use it indiscriminately.But Chen Xing's ability to make money now obviously surpassed them, and it was useless for them to hold the money at this time.

After all, they didn't really want their son's money.

Chen's mother returned the phone to Chen Xing, and said, "Then don't use this money indiscriminately. There are many places where you need money to study in France. When the time comes, bring back a foreign daughter-in-law for mother."

Father Chen quickly said, "It's better for us Chinese girls."

With this money, Chen Xing had a good New Year.

During the Chinese New Year when the prices of many things on JD.com were reduced, Chen Xing bought two lenses that he used to be greedy for, a Sony 24-79mm, f2.8, and a 70-200mm. These two lenses cost a total of 4 yuan. .

The photographer's luxury is often reflected in the lens.

In fact, there are more expensive ones, but Chen Xing thinks that he does not need those tens of thousands, 10,000+ lenses.

Most photographers don't use it either, but the pursuit of equipment is the hobby of most photographers. They have a slightly better one and want better ones, so there are so many people touting the lens.

Shooting technique and style are the most important.

There are still top photographers who use the film cameras they used when they were young decades ago. These film cameras are expensive because of their collection value, not their own technology.

Isn't it also the same?
On New Year's Eve, Chen Xing locked the door of his room and kept chatting with his elders outside.

The Journey to the West, which has been replayed countless times, was playing on the TV. The elders played mahjong, and the younger one wanted to go to Chen Xing's room to play games, but Chen Xing never opened the door. He has a psychological shadow on the bear child.

He didn't understand why some people thought children about ten years old were cute.

Yes, little girls are cute, but boys forget it.

The house is very lively.

Chen Xing still remembered that it was the New Year's Eve a few years ago, when the family discussed their future and almost settled their future, thinking about it now is like a dream.

At that time, I was really angry and wanted to change my destiny, but I never thought it would be like this.

The 25-year-old cousin Chen Jie said: "There is nothing to do, and this year we can't set off cannons. Let's drive to Xinchang to watch the dragon dance tomorrow, right? I'm too lazy to listen to those children at home."

Xinchang is an ancient town, relatively close to the New Territories. Every year on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, there will be a lion and dragon dance.

"Okay." Chen Xing said.

He also doesn't want to listen to children crying at home, but he can still shoot some old-fashioned things when he goes out, and he has nothing to stay in the New Territories. This year's New Territories are not much different from usual.

It's just that the young people who went out to work have returned, and the square is even more lively.

Chen Jie walked around the room twice, and soon made an appointment.

There are four people going, besides him and Chen Xing, Chen Minmin who is in his sophomore year, and his 15-year-old younger brother Chen Zhong, Chen Zhong and Chen Jie are brothers.Chen Xing originally wanted to ask his cousin to go with him, but she didn't come back until the second year of junior high school.

On the second day, when Chen Jie drove to pick up the person, Chen Xing discovered that there was a little girl who had never met in the back seat. She looked very tender, but she was not afraid of strangers. When she saw Chen Xing, she yelled: "Brother good!"

"Ah."

Chen Jie was speechless.

Chen Xing sat in the co-pilot and asked in a low voice, "Who is this girl?"

"Xiao Zhong's classmate, what do you think?"

"Fuck!"

Although Chen Zhong is young, he has the demeanor of all the scumbags of the younger generation of the Chen family.

The main reason is that their genes are good. The height and appearance of several people in their generation are all online. No matter whether they want to find a girlfriend or not, there will always be adolescent girls who post it upside down. Just like Chen Xing, who was teased and talked about Are you in love?

Chen Minmin was quickly connected, and she knew what was going on the moment she saw the little girl, and she rolled her eyes.

But he didn't say anything, and took the initiative to find topics to chat with girls to relieve other people's tension.

drive on the road.

From thousands of years of ancient times to the present in Sichuan Province, there is a famous road called the Ancient Tea Horse Road.This is the oldest foreign economic and trade route in Chinese history. It sprouted in the Han Dynasty more than 2000 years ago and was formally formed in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

Going west, this road can reach Rome as far as it goes, and going east, it is a commercial road that goes out of Sichuan Province and reaches other places in China.

Xinchang Ancient Town is one of the famous historical and cultural towns on the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

Instead of going on the highway, I drove on the county road for about 30 minutes to the entrance of the ancient town. When I turned to the parking lot, the security guard didn't lift the railing, but came out and said, "The car is full, we can't park any more!"

Chen Minmin said: "There are so many people, the car is full in the morning?"

Chen Jie backed up the car and said, "There must still be parking spaces, it can't be full, forget it, we'll park outside on the road, so as not to get stuck in traffic when we go back."

There are many cars parked beside the road outside.

It seems that there are indeed many people.

Going down from the road, after a long ramp, you reach the river. The river is not wide, only four or five meters in shape. The banks on both sides are made of bluestones. Full of moss.

There are no factories near Xinchang, Chen Xing is not sure how to survive in the past, but now it is obvious that he only relies on tourism.

So the river is very clear.

Walk along the bluestone slabs by the river, and within a short distance, the bluestone slabs gradually deviate from the river, approaching the town.

People along the road were all coming into the town, especially many, Chen Jie was worried about his younger brother running around, so he turned back to look for people from time to time, but after searching, he saw two children holding hands together.

Pooh!
Next year I will bring my girlfriend back for Chinese New Year!

Chen Xing just thinks it's interesting, he doesn't have any reaction in his heart, he just wants to watch more and play more now, he can find a girlfriend anytime he wants, it's not difficult for him, only Chen Minmin is the most troubled, she doesn't have a boyfriend yet .

There is no way, the man in the family is too scumbag, and she is not bad in appearance, which makes her raise her standards for finding a boyfriend.

Then it was 20 years of mother-fetal solo.

Don't think that it's easy for a goddess to find a boyfriend, no one dares to chase after her, okay?
Chen Minmin and Chen Xing complained about this.

Chen Xing said with a smile: "I remember that there are people in this town who tell fortunes. Let's do the calculations later? I also want to know where my significant other is now."

"Yes, yes!" Chen Minmin nodded repeatedly.

Other things are usually fine, but during the Chinese New Year, I feel very lonely.

I really want to find a man!
I saw the edge of Xinchang Ancient Town. There are wooden houses, blue tiles, and bluestone bricks on the ground. The ones near the canal are covered with grass. It can be seen that the environment is relatively humid. I hope there will be no 'landmines'.

Land mines is the name of their hometown, which means that these ancient bricks are loose and fall off, and then rainwater accumulates underneath.As soon as a person steps on it, the water below will be squeezed out, and the short ones will fall into your shoes, and the high ones will be shot up to a height of more than one meter.

When I got closer, I saw that the house was a tea house.

It should be very cold in winter, but Chen Xing was surprised that the temperature in Xinchang Ancient Town was higher than that in the New Territories.

There are many Eight Immortals tables in the store, and the traditional Southwestern big-leaf tea is placed on the tables. This kind of tea is sweet and relieves fatigue, but Chen Xing has not seen them in the city for a long time.

A small bamboo pole was inserted on the carved window lattice, and a pair of flags were tied. The flags were green as a whole.

Just one word on it.

tea.
