【Chapter 1201】 Picturesque scenery (ask for subscription!) )

After the old man and children had rested, the convoy continued on its way, slowly moving along the picturesque seventeen miles, as if in a painting.

Seventeen miles is not a measure word, but a place name, specifically referring to the seventeen-mile coastal highway from Monterey to Carmel, which is the highlight of Highway 1 and one of the few private toll roads in the United States. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Generally speaking, the road closes around 7 p.m. to prevent traffic from disturbing the rest of the surrounding residents.

Most of the owners of the private estates on both sides of the seventeen miles are American billionaires, artists, sports stars, etc., and it is also one of the richest areas in the country per capita.

Seventeen miles is the epitome of the ocean, with gentle beaches, steep rock faces, lush meadows, and lush ecological forests, and many of America's super-rich have long loved to use it as a place to vacation and relax, and luxury mansions are worth in seven-figure or even eight-figure dollar units!

Sometimes, the property here is not something that can be bought with money, and it is rare for wealthy people with sufficient money to plan to sell their vacation properties, unless there is an occasional problem with the financial chain of individual super-rich people who may be put up for sale.

It's still too far from Los Angeles, and Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao don't plan to buy a property in Seventeen Miles, preferring to buy a property near the Pebble Beach golf course near Los Angeles.

In order to allow the elderly and children to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, the convoy does not travel fast, and from time to time it stops to take photos on the beach.

At this time, it was close to more than three o'clock in the morning in China, and the live video broadcast of Betta naturally stopped temporarily, but the live broadcast of pictures and texts on the scarf continued.

Many night owl fans also pay attention to Xiao Feng's family's itinerary on Xiao Feng's neck, and the boundless scenery captured through the lens amazes everyone.

I have to say that Xiao Feng still has some talent for live broadcasting, and he is very able to take into account the thoughts of fans and present the content that everyone wants to see most on the Internet.

A large number of retweets and comments on the bib made Xiao Feng's bib hot the first place in the thousand-degree search, and the last time Xiao Feng won this honor was when he won three consecutive championships in the NBA.

In a sense, today's Huaxia has become a society of national entertainment, and all kinds of information about celebrities are the goals of netizens and fans.

…………

The seventeen-mile journey took more than two hours, and when the convoy arrived at Carmel Town, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and Xiao Feng simply decided to stay in Carmel Town and continue to set off tomorrow morning.

Since joining the NBA, Xiao Feng has been able to spend a short summer with his family every year, and sometimes he has to deal with various affairs, and there are only a handful of time to spend with his family on vacation.

As a person who has always put his family first, it is a great happiness to spend more time with the elderly and children now!

This time, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao have already explained the various affairs of the group, and they are ready to leisurely wander back to Los Angeles from Highway 1 and stay in Carmel Town for one night, and there is no big problem.

Carmel is a sophisticated seaside literary town on the Monterey Peninsula, located about two miles south of 17 Mile, a famous tourist attraction on the West Coast of the United States, and about two hours from San Francisco. Founded in the early 20th century, Carmel is less than 100 years old, but it is well known on the West Bank of America as a small town with a bohemian flavor of people and artists.

Carmel is a paradise where many artists and writers live in this small, bohemian city with its quirky buildings and landscapes that are like fairy tales. Residents here are fiercely resistant to modernization. Advertising, neon signs or parking meters, and fast-food outlets are still prohibited in the city in order to maintain their original appearance. The original style brings people simplicity, peace and warmth. At the end of the town's main street, Oceanavenue, is Carmel Beach, a beach with its unique beach on the Seventeen Mile beachfront.

The beautiful Monterey Peninsula is known as the world's epitome of land, sea and blue skies, and is recognized as an ideal holiday destination. And 17 Mile Carmel is the essence of it. Blue seas and blue skies, flowers and reefs, squirrels, seabirds and seals, cliffs, and ancient pines and cypresses make for a fascinating picture of the seventeen miles.

…………

The arrival of the luxury convoy did not attract much attention from the townspeople, the artists were not so sensitive to power and wealth, and besides, the artists who were able to live here were not bad people.

Usually the convoy of wealthy people who live in Seventeen Mile is even more exaggerated, but the residents of Carmel Town have already looked down on this, so they still look at Xiao Feng's convoy with a normal heart.

When Xiao Feng and his entourage got off the bus, some people recognized Xiao Feng's identity, but no one rushed up to take photos and sign autographs like ordinary fans, and it was normal for artists to be reserved.

In Carmel Town, there are not many modern elements, the hotels here have maintained many fine traditions and strong artistic atmosphere, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao immediately liked the hotel booked by William.

This is a hotel built on a cliff by the sea, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom that can see the Pacific Ocean rushing and the sea at night, which is an irresistible temptation for everyone.

After Xiao Feng packed his luggage, he took a photo in the bedroom and sent it to his neck, and wrote, 'I will fall asleep tonight in the company of the Pacific Ocean waves, happiness!' ’

For many fans in China, such a hotel is undoubtedly a dream choice, and all kinds of amazements can be clearly conveyed even across the vast Pacific Ocean.

After packing their luggage, Xiao Feng's family walked around the town together to appreciate the unique charm of this town.

For 100 years, Carmel, with just over 4,000 inhabitants, has become a highlight of California's 17-mile Gold Coast Highway with its beautiful natural environment and elegant artistic atmosphere. There are a variety of fashion stores, antique shops, confectionery stores, galleries, toy stores and daily necessities shops.

Compared with the modern and fashionable shops in Los Angeles and New York, the shops here exude an artistic atmosphere from time to time, which makes people want to stop.

For example, most of the clothes and leather bags in the fashion store here are designed and handmade by the owners themselves, which is the only one in the world, and you can't buy it anywhere else.

In a sense, many of the shops here sell goods that are closer to works of art, and artists give them life, which is an important factor in maintaining the charm of the town of Carmel as a whole.

The happiest thing for the children is the candy store, where the candy of different shapes is like crystal glass, which makes people reluctant to put it down, and it is very suitable for taking it home and treasured.

Walking around, the security personnel behind him carried a lot of bags in their hands, and Xiao Feng's family started the street sweeping mode, buying big and buying specially!

Xu Mengyao fell in love with the art-filled clothes and bags here, which can make her more attractive for her who rarely appears in the workplace.

Xiao Feng usually likes to cook for his family, but this time he bought several sets of porcelain boutiques and prepared to take them back for important festivals.

Xiao Jinyang bought a set of chess pieces made from North American red pine, and recently he is learning chess with his children, and he is still very addicted.

The whole family has bought several items, and they are used to visiting the top luxury brands in Los Angeles, so walking around this unique little store is full of novelty!

Xiao Feng and his entourage also saw the 'can live' where Mr. Daqian, a master of Chinese painting, lived in the past, but now things are not people, and this has become the private residence of an American artist, and the idea of visiting has failed.

According to Grandpa Xiao Feng, he had a relationship with Mr. Daqian back then, and his farm provided high-quality ingredients for Mr. Daqian for a long time.

Xiao Feng is also a person in half of the art circle, and he naturally has respect for a world-renowned artist like Mr. Daqian, but it's a pity that he didn't have the opportunity to meet him!

After getting tired of shopping, Xiao Feng's family found a restaurant for dinner instead of returning to the convoy to eat.

When traveling, in addition to the beautiful scenery, the biggest surprise is the different flavors of the food, if you miss it is a pity.

Xiao Feng and they are not the kind of hypocrisy who can't eat without top food, so it's normal to eat in a restaurant outside occasionally.

The owner of the restaurant is an oil painter from Italy, the restaurant layout is more like a gallery, and the food here is also full of praise for Xiao Feng.

The small town of Carmel is close to the sea, and naturally has an abundance of seafood, Italian-style seafood risotto, plus black truffles from the northern regions of Italy, which is equivalent to style, and a few little ones are eating with their mouths full of oil.

The shopkeeper Wakana is still very interested in Xiao Feng and his party, after all, there are still very few Chinese who travel with their families, not to mention that the four little ones can speak Italian fluently, which makes the old man quite happy.

After dinner, Wakana specially took out his treasured Blue Mountain coffee to brew for Xiao Feng and others, and sat in the store to chat, more like a gathering of friends.

This feeling makes Xiao Feng very comfortable, less commercial elements of philistines and more human touch, this may be the unique charm of Carmel Town, right?

Before leaving, the old man also gave each of the four children a set of painting tools, and the children were welcome to come back to see the bearded grandfather when they had time.

Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao also looked at each other helplessly and smiled, this handsome old Italian guy is really enthusiastic, which is completely different from the image of an artist with quirks in the impression of ordinary people.

This time, Xiao Feng didn't bring any decent gifts, so he could only keep this favor in mind for the time being, and go back and send him a 'Mengyao Coffee', which is also very suitable for this Italian artist who likes to make his own coffee.

Coming out of the restaurant, night has gradually fallen, and without the neon light pollution, the night sky of Carmel Town looks particularly beautiful!

The moon, which was almost full, hung in the air, and the bright moonlight poured like mercury, casting a thin veil over the entire town of Carmel.

There are no cars coming and going, no noisy noise, only the occasional dog barking and the sound of night owls coming from afar, which makes Xiao Feng feel like he has returned to the 'Ginkgo Village' of his childhood!

In this tranquil atmosphere, there is no wonder that thousands of artists have settled here.

The children were running on the lawn in front of them, and their parents were following arm in arm, and at this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly fell in love with the town.

In his bones, Xiao Feng is a person who likes to be quiet and idealistic, and being able to live in such a small town is actually the greatest happiness!

It's a pity that the current Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao can't leave everything behind and live in seclusion here, maybe in a few decades, when Yu'er and they can take over the property of the 'Jinghu Group' and the 'Xiao Family' well, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao can consider settling here.

With Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao's current study status, maybe they will be able to achieve good results in a certain field by then, and at that time, they will have more face when they move in as 'artists'!

…………

Back at the hotel, Xiao Feng still read the children's storybook as usual, of course, tonight there is a little more content, that is, let the children tell all kinds of interesting things and feelings in today's itinerary.

For Xiao Feng, he does not necessarily ask the children to become big names in the future, but he still hopes that the children can be enthusiastic about life and good at observing life.

Therefore, children do not have to write weekly journals, diaries, etc., but they can observe and think about many details of life through their own eyes, and that is enough!

In fact, communication and interaction with children is also a process of Xiao Feng's learning, Xiao Feng cherishes every opportunity, and he enjoys the happiness of being with children.

Sometimes, Xu Mengyao is a little jealous, her husband doesn't spend as much time with the children as herself, but her relationship with the children is better. However, seeing that the relationship between her husband and the children, especially Nini, was so good, the worry in Xu Mengyao's heart disappeared without a trace.

After the children fell asleep, Xiao Feng returned to the master bedroom and sent a scarf, saying goodnight to the fans in China, and today's 'Highway 1) trip ended successfully!

Xiao Feng's video and live broadcast of the 'No. 1 Highway' trip also created a new interactive model, which undoubtedly had a huge impact on the Chinese Internet, and many innovative models in various forms were opened.

Xiao Feng is once again unconsciously leading the trend! (To be continued.) )
