Chapter 152: Xinchang Ancient Town
Chen Xing eats this meal quite relaxed, and he likes to chat with people who can talk. This Sister Cui is obviously very good.
The fellow named Lin Yu looked like a student who had just come out of school, but he liked to drink very much, and most of the bottles of liquor were drunk by her inexplicably, and Chen Xing mainly ate vegetables.
After waiting for the dishes on the table to be almost eaten, Cui Jingxian said: "Chen Xing, how did you think about joining us and becoming a contracted traveler of Honeycomb?" ”
"I can also feel your sincerity, I think it's okay, how do you need to cooperate?" He had no reason to refuse.
I didn't directly agree before, but also because I wanted to find more information, and I couldn't just listen to what others said.
Cui Jingxian listened to Chen Xing's agreement, and her mood was much more relaxed, and said: "You are the original content traveler that we value very much this year, except for the column, we will give you a reward ranging from 100-500 for each of your travelogues, and we will give you a share for every click." "The reward is small, the important thing is to share.
Cui Jingxian seems to be sure that Chen Xing will have great achievements, and she is stuck with Chen Xing in this part, and is even willing to increase the contract amount with Chen Xing.
"We don't usually sign such a lucrative contract with a traveler, and the average contracted traveler only pays a few cents a click. Do you still have doubts? We certainly know it. ”
"Are there any restrictions on the travelogue?"
"There is no travelogue, but we have one more thing to do this time, and that is the column, and the column must not be written casually." Cui Jingxian said with a smile that her purpose of coming this time has been achieved, so she is in a good mood.
Travelogues belong to the personal behavior of travelers, even big-name travelers, if there is any change in the direction of the wind, then at most delete this travelogue, it will not have any impact on their company.
But the column is written by someone they invite, and at least their content department is responsible for it. Lin Yu went out to run errands, printed contracts, and Chen Xing and Cui Jingxian chatted about the column.
However, after chatting and chatting about the topic, Cui Jingxian was very surprised by the richness of Chen Xing's emotional experience, and after Chen Xing said that he had been in love five times, and all of them ended in failure, she stared at her and said: "Really? I don't believe it! The beecomb male employee who was in charge of being the driver had always been silent, and when he heard this, he looked at Chen Xing and thought to himself: "What is it to fall in love five times with this look, it's no problem once a day." ”
"Really." Chen Xing told her about going to France this time.
"I went abroad this time because of a previous relationship experience, and I didn't know where the obsession came from when I was young, and I always wanted to go to a romantic place to prove myself. After breaking up, I have to go by myself like completing a ritual, Sister Cui should also think that people like me are stupid, right? Cui Jingxian shook her head and said: "I'm not stupid at all, I don't do much like this when I'm young, and when we are this age, we will be old." She also wants to have such a vigorous love story.
It's a pity that she joined the company Honeycomb just after graduation, and after so many years, her career has risen step by step, and everything has gone smoothly.
With his keen reaction to the market, he stepped into the position of director of the content department. But love.
Not at all. So she listened to Chen Xing say some stupid things she did because of love, and she listened quietly with envy at the same time, and she had no stories of her own to share.
"And where do you want to go next?" Cui Jingxian asked.
"I don't have any travel plans for the time being, I've been running around before, and I'm going to Paris next year for further study, so I just want to stay at home with my parents during this time and wait for the Chinese New Year." Lin Yu walked in with the contract he had just printed out and said, "Mr. Cui, Mr. Chen Xing, I'm back." ”
"Good work." Cui Jingxian reached out and took the contract, glanced at it, and handed it to Chen Xing. Chen Xing rechecked the contract.
The signing fee is 4 million, which will be paid to Chen Xing's card in two installments, as long as the contract is signed, the early 2 million can be obtained.
Chen Xing's hand trembling a little when he signed. After Cui Jingxian saw Chen Xing signing and pressing her handprint, she was finally relieved, and now she didn't have to worry about Ctrip, Tongcheng or something to rob people.
Last month, they took a fancy to a female Internet celebrity, who was snatched away by other travel companies when it was almost time to sign a contract.
After Chen Xing finished signing, everyone stood up.
"It's a pleasure to work with." Chen Xing shook hands with her again and said, "Happy cooperation." After returning home, Chen Xing shouted and said, "Mom? Are you there? "Mom isn't here, Dad is here.
Chen Jiannan looked at Chen Xing's face full of joy and said, "Mom, I know that if you are looking for your mother, don't you tell me anything happy first?" ”
"I'm making 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 yuan by taking a few photos, if his son was not so lazy, he would earn more money than himself in minutes.
It made him feel old.
"It's not a photoshoot, a travel company approached me to sign a contract and gave me a signing fee of two million!" Chen Jiannan felt that he didn't hear clearly, so he plucked his ear with his hand and asked, "How much?!" ”
"Two million!!" Two million in the early stage, and half in the back, but Chen Xing habitually hid it, and the man should never let others find out how much he has in savings.
The two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while. Chen Jiannan touched his hair, thinking that he was really old, and then said, "Tell your mother about it, by the way, this thing is true, right?" Got the money? ”
"It's here!" When Chen Xing came back and was still on the way, he received a message from the bank that it had arrived.
He hurriedly called his mother, waited for twenty minutes, and after waiting for twenty minutes, Chen's mother also returned home, and when she entered the house, she asked: "Son, son, is what you said on the phone true, people gave you two million?" Show Mom! As soon as Chen Xing took out his mobile phone, he was immediately snatched away by Chen's mother.
That's when he came to his senses. I also wanted to save some private money first, but I was so excited that I forgot about it. But fortunately, Chen's mother didn't ask Chen Xing for money.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you want it or not, when Chen Xing first made money before, Chen's mother wanted to take all the money, afraid that Chen Xing would use it indiscriminately.
But Chen Xing's ability to make money now obviously surpasses them, and it is useless for them to take the money at this time.
After all, they don't really want their son's money. Chen's mother returned the mobile phone to Chen Xing and said, "Then don't use this money indiscriminately, you have to use money to study in France, and you will also bring a foreign daughter-in-law back to your mother when the time comes." Dad Chen hurriedly said, "It's better for us to be a Chinese girl." With this money, Chen Xing had a very nourishing New Year.
When the price of many things on Jingdong was reduced during the Chinese New Year, Chen Xing bought two lenses that he was very greedy for before, one Sony 24-79mm, f2.8, and one 70-200mm, and the two lenses combined cost 40,000 yuan.
The extravagance of a photographer is often reflected in the lens. In fact, there are more expensive ones, but Chen Xing feels that he doesn't need those tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of shots.
Most photographers don't need it, but the pursuit of equipment is the hobby of most photographers, and if you have a slightly better one, you want to be better, so many people tout the lens.
Technique and style are the most important things. There are also top photographers who use the film cameras they used when they were young decades ago, and these film cameras are expensive because of their collection value, not because of their technology.
Isn't it also out of the film? On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Xing locked the door of his room and kept chatting with his elders outside.
There is an unknown number of replays of Journey to the West on the TV, the elders play mahjong, and the younger ones want to go to Chen Xing's room to play games, but Chen Xing has never opened the door, and he has a psychological shadow on the bear child.
He didn't understand why anyone would think that a child around ten years old was cute. Yes, little girls are very cute, but boys forget it.
It's very lively inside the house. Chen Xing still remembers that it was Chinese New Year's Eve a few years ago, and the family discussed and almost determined their future, and now thinking about it is like a dream.
At that time, I was really angry and wanted to change my fate, but I never thought it would be like this.
Chen Jie, a 25-year-old cousin, said: "There's nothing to do, and we can't set off artillery this year, so let's drive to Xinchang tomorrow to watch the dragon dance, right?" Too lazy to listen to those kids at home. "Xinchang is an ancient town, relatively close to the New Territories, and there will be lion and dragon dances on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year every year.
"Okay." Chen Xing said. He also doesn't want to listen to children crying at home, and he can shoot a little New Year's flavor when he goes out, and there is nothing left in the New Territories, which is not much different from usual this year.
It's just that the young people who went out to work have returned, and the square is more lively. Chen Jie walked around the room twice and quickly made an appointment.
There are four people going to go, in addition to him and Chen Xing, there is also Chen Minmin, who is in his second year of college, 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 his cousin didn't come back until the second year of junior high school. The next day, when Chen Jie drove the car to pick up people, Chen Xing found that there was a little girl in the back seat who had never met, she looked very tender, but she was not afraid of life, and when she saw Chen Xing, she shouted: "Hello brother!" ”
"Hmm." 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 say?"
"it!" Although Chen Zhong is young, he has the demeanor of all the scumbags of the younger generation of the Chen family. The main thing is that the genes are good, several people in their generation are online in height and appearance, whether they want to find a girlfriend or not, there will be adolescent girls who will post it upside down, just like Chen Xing, wasn't he coaxed by everyone to fall in love at the beginning.
Soon picked up Chen Minmin, she knew what was going on the moment she saw the little girl, and rolled her eyes.
But he didn't say anything, and took the initiative to find a topic to chat with the girl to relieve the tension of others. Get on the road by car.
From thousands of years of ancient times to the present, there is a road in Sichuan Province that is very famous, called the Ancient Tea Horse Road. This is the oldest foreign trade route in Chinese history, which sprouted in the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago and was formally formed in the Tang and Song dynasties.
The road went westward as far as Rome, and eastward as a trade route out of Sichuan Province to the rest of China.
Xinchang Ancient Town is one of the historical and cultural towns on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Don't get on the highway, drive on the county road for about 30 minutes to the entrance of the ancient town, turn to the parking lot when the security guard did not lift the railing, but came out and said: "The car is full, I can't park the car!" Chen Minmin said: "There are so many people, and the car is full in the morning?" Chen Jie reversed the car and said, "There must be a parking space, it can't be full, forget it, we'll park on the road outside, so as not to get stuck in traffic when we go back." "There are already a lot of cars parked on the side of the road outside.
It seems that there are indeed a lot of people. Going down from the road, after a long ramp to the river, the river is not wide, only four or five meters in appearance, both sides of the embankment are made of bluestones, a hundred years have passed, these bluestones are covered with moss.
There is no factory near Xinchang, and Chen Xing is not very clear about how to survive before, but now he obviously only relies on tourism.
So the river is very clear. Walking along the bluestone slab by the river, after walking not far, the bluestone slab gradually deviated from the river and was about to reach the town.
There are a lot of people along the road who have entered the town, especially a lot, Chen Jie is worried that his little brother is running around, so he turns back from time to time to look for someone, but when he looks for it, he sees two children holding hands together.
Bah! I'll bring my girlfriend back for the New Year next year! Chen Xing just thought it was funny, he didn't have any mental reaction, he wanted to watch more now, play more, he could find a female companion at any time, it was not difficult for him, the most heartfelt was only Chen Minmin, she didn't have a boyfriend yet.
There is no way, the man in the family is too scumbag, and her appearance is not bad, which makes her raise the standard for finding a boyfriend.
Then there is the mother-fetal solo for twenty years. Don't think that the goddess is easy to find a boyfriend, no one dares to chase after her!
Chen Minmin and Chen Xing complained about this. Chen Xing smiled and said, "I remember that there are people in this town who tell fortunes, and we will calculate them in a while?" I also want to know where my significant other is. ”
"Yes, yes!" Chen Minmin nodded repeatedly. Others are usually fine, but I feel very lonely during the New Year.
I really want to find a man! I saw the edge of Xinchang Ancient Town, wooden houses, blue tiles, bluestone bricks on the ground, and grass grew on the edge near the canal, and I could see that the environment was relatively humid, and I hope there would be no 'mines'.
Landmines are the name of their hometown, which means that these ancient bricks are loose, fall off, and then collect rainwater in the lower areas.
As soon as you step on it, the water below will be squeezed out, and the shorter ones will fall into your shoes, and the high ones will even be more than a meter high.
Got closer and saw that the house was a tea house. There is air leakage on both sides, which should be very cold in winter, but to Chen Xing's surprise, the temperature in Xinchang Ancient Town is actually higher than that in the New Territories.
There are many Eight Immortal Tables in the store, and on the tables are the traditional large-leaf tea of the southwest, which 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 withered window spirit, and a pair of flags were tied, and the whole flag was green. There's just one word on it.
Tea.
