Chapter 309: Sunflower Garden

The Cueillette de La Grange, the largest agricultural region in the surrounding area, is located in the 77 departments.

I don't know how to divide the regions of Paris, and Chen Xing always seems messy when he says place names with others, a few districts and a few provinces.

In fact, arrondissements 1 to 20 belong to Little Paris, and if you are in the country, this Little Paris can be imagined as the main city, and 1 to 20 just divide this main city into small pieces.

These 20 districts start with 75, which can be recorded as 75 provinces.

Bounded by the Seine, it is important to remember that the south of the Seine is basically a safe zone, but you should not let your guard down. North of the Seine, the further you go to the outskirts, the more chaotic the law and order becomes, especially in the outermost 18-20, don't go if you can.

Recently, there was a march in Paris, and Chen Xing could hear the explosion in the distance at night.

The 77 provinces belong to the far suburbs, and it was said that the farther away from Paris, the more chaotic it will be the more to the suburbs, but a little farther away, when it is time to get out of Paris, the law and order will improve again.

It is said that many people in the 77 province do not know, but there is a scenic spot here that is known to eighty percent of people born after the 70s, that is, the Fontainebleau of the Palace of Fontainebleau, which was translated by Mr. Zhu.

The last time Chen Xing came here was to visit the ChΓ’teau de Fontainebleau.

It's just that I didn't expect that some distance away is the largest agricultural travel base in Paris - the barn picking base.

There are more than 1,000 acres of land that are farms, more than 100 standard football fields, and people in Paris who want to experience the life of a farmhouse will come here to visit, come in the morning, play until the evening and then drive back.

There are more than 50 kinds of fruits and plenty of vegetables, and most of them are waiting for visitors to pick them themselves.

With such a large area, it is naturally not for one person.

How rich would he be?

More than 1,000 acres, it's enough to build a Forbidden City.

Aunt Lizi and they have about fifty acres of land here, and instead of growing fruits, they have planted a large field of sunflowers. At this time, tulips, lavender, and roses have withered, but the sunflowers that bloom in summer are especially beautiful.

The tour bus drove on the road so straight that there was no end in sight, and the day tour guide that Chen Xing signed up was introducing them to the land outside the window.

It's cheap to find this kind of day trip in Paris, and the price of 50 euros includes a lunch, round-trip transfers, and a warm introduction from a tour guide, and the route is very clear.

The current one-day tour in China is born out of this model.

But......

Don't talk about it.

"Outside the window on the left are lilies, which are almost over their blooming time, but they still look bright. We will stop at this farm in a while, I hope you passengers do not step on the flowers, we are only responsible for the explanation, not for your compensation......"

The tour guide chattered.

Chen Xing said to Hedwig: "Is it here? ”

He remembered that his aunt was very fond of this flower.

"It's not...... They don't have so much stuff in their farm, just a garden and meadows, I ...... Sorry, I don't remember the way. Hedwig whispered.

She had no idea how she had come to be.

Aunt Lizzie sat next to her, her uncle drove the car, she remembered that there were five dogs on the farm, some cows, a few beautiful horses, and she remembered that the flowers were beautiful and the air was fresh, but as for the road, she couldn't remember at all.

Chen Xing sighed: "No wonder you don't go out, it turns out that you are still a road idiot." ”

It's not the first time I've been there, and I don't know where it is.

As long as Chen Xing has been to a place once, he can basically find a way to go the second time, which is related to his frequent training. Whenever he goes to an unfamiliar place, he will always take his camera out to sweep the streets, and he will not look at the navigation at all when sweeping the streets.

Wherever you go, it's a good place.

And then go back.

If you can't find the way, you will use navigation.

The average road idiot is because he doesn't remember the characteristics of the road, for example, some people are not sensitive to the appearance of the building, and even some buildings are completely two styles of buildings that he can't see, so he is a road idiot, what is the situation like Hedwig?

She knows no less architectural style than Chen Xing.

The car continued to drive for a few minutes, parked in a small parking lot, Chen Xing saw Uncle Feida as soon as he got out of the car, his old antique car was very eye-catching, and it is estimated that there are not many such cars that can be put on the road in the whole of Paris.

Feida hadn't seen Chen Xing for a long time, he liked this guy from Huaxia very much, and when he saw him and Hedwig getting out of the car, he came over with his hands open, laughed and hugged Chen Xing, and said, "Hahaha, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

"Sorry, there may be a bit of a traffic jam in Paris today."

"I don't mean today, I haven't seen you in months. Now you're amazing, you can search the Internet and find your news everywhere, great, a photo can really sell for tens of thousands of euros? ”

When Hedwig signed a contract with a gallery, they were surprised that a painting that lasted two or three weeks could sell for two or three thousand euros. Later, I heard that Chen Xing took a photo for thousands of euros, good guy, our family is like a dragon?

A third brother shed tears at the scene......

But people don't care, Kshatriya!

Now it's even more powerful, a photo of tens of thousands of euros?

When his wife came back to tell him a few days ago, he still didn't believe it, but he believed Chen Xing's name when he looked up on the search software.

Chen Xing said hello to the tour guide, and the two got into Uncle Feida's car.

There is no way to report the name of the tour group and come by car.

Taxis in Paris are very expensive, and they are usually short-distance, such as the road from the airport to the school. But on the road from Little Paris to 77 Province, the cost of taking a taxi is so expensive that Chen Xing is now a little heartbroken.

It's a little bit of money, but the thinking of spending money is still the same as before.

If he doesn't travel or buy any big items, his current living expenses are about 3,000 euros, which includes accommodation, meals, and occasional nightclubs, shopping and so on.

It's already very superior, and the average international student can use a few hundred euros a month.

But then again, if you can study in Europe, you basically won't have too ordinary family conditions, even if your family doesn't support it, you can have a scholarship, and you can do odd jobs no matter how poor you are. So 1,500 euros is considered the standard cost for international students.

Chen Xing knew a few Chinese who came to Paris to study purely because of their good grades, and they went to a fast-food restaurant on weekends for a day's work, and they got one or two hundred euros.

During this holiday, Chen Xing didn't have time to travel to other countries in Europe, but these people were reluctant to pay for air tickets back to Huaxia, but they were very willing to travel to other countries, and it was estimated that they should come back by now, after all, school was about to start.

After another ten minutes' drive, the manor belonging to Uncle Feida and Aunt Lizzie was reached.

Only one of the main roads in the middle of this large complex farm is a specially built road, and from this road to the small farms of the various families, it is the farmer himself who builds it. Feida's classic car is not very good at shock absorption, and it is a bit bumpy to drive on such a road.

But the scenery on both sides is nice.

After they came in from the previous fence, the places they saw now belonged to them, and the wind blew the grass and saw the cattle and sheep...... This is to see cows and horses, and there are only cows and no sheep in this farm.

Feida took the cigarette stick in his mouth and said, "Sooner or later, I will have to rebuild this road." ”

Chen Xing said: "You should fill in some soil, right?" ”

"The soil is not good, at most we use the soil by driving, but sometimes there are industrial vehicles driving in here, and the cars run away as soon as the soil is pressed. Even sometimes when it rains, the soil will run. I still have to re-do it. ”

Hedwig pulled Chen Xing and asked him to look out the window.

Outside the open window, there was the sunflower.

Chen Xing asked a little curiously: "Uncle Feida, everyone else's house grows roses, lavender and tulips, why are you sunflowers here?" Is it more profitable to grow this than other flowers? ”

"No, this was planted by the old man before." He said.

This farm was not theirs before, it belonged to Aunt Liz's father.

The old man has a son and a daughter, neither of whom wanted to inherit his farm before, and as an ancestral old man, he didn't want to sell it to outsiders.

But who knew that the grandson had an accident.

The daughter who has no worries chooses to return to the land where she grew up.

This made the old man very happy, so he packed up his things overnight and took his wife out on a trip.

As for why his grandson had an accident, he was very happy?

Chen Xing didn't know, and Uncle Feida didn't say that he was unhappy, but just said that the old man was currently traveling in Italy, and everything else was made up by Chen Xing.

Europeans do not have as much family as they do in China, and many times when their children reach adulthood, their mission as parents is liberated.

The family Chen Xing met in Vernon was just one example.

Huaxia also has the idiom of deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors.

The car finally stopped under a large villa made of wood, and Chen Xing liked the parking area they had built separately. It is a pavilion that is fixed to the house at one end and supported by two steel pipes at the other end.

Instead of a reinforced concrete roof, it was covered with a thick layer of glass panels.

There is a slight angle of inclination, which is probably used to drain away rainwater.

Only France, which is located in the western part of Europe, will build houses in this way, because in winter it rarely snows heavily, and there is no need to think about whether it will be crushed by heavy snow when repairing the roof.

In the kind of places in the north where there will be snow, the roofs are all that kind of 'people', and this kind of building is called a mountain shape, especially in northern China.

The aunt had heard the sound of Feida's classic car for a long time, and came over to greet her with a smile on her face, and in the distance there were employees who were looking here because of curiosity, massaging the cows while looking.

These cows enjoy more than people.

"Chen, Hedwig......" Aunt Lizi wanted to help them get something, Chen Xing hurriedly said, "I'll come by myself, I'll come by myself!" ”

This kind of elder who hasn't seen each other for a long time is really polite.

His suitcase was a bit heavy, but it contained not clothes, but some photographic equipment, easels, paper, paint, etc.

Hedwig's previous painting has not yet been painted, and now it is placed at home waiting for the paint on the painting to dry naturally, and they will go back to paint after playing here for a few days, and it is estimated that it will be a week or two before Chen Xing can see the finished product.

That's the kind of oil painting she can sell for money.

Now when I come out with an easel, I just draw something on paper, otherwise Hedwig, who has no other hobbies, really doesn't know what she can do.

Chen Xing brought the box to the house and put it away, Hedwig secretly followed Aunt Lizi to watch her cook, Feida led Chen Xing to see the two empty rooms they cleaned up for Chen Xing, on the way he saw that Hedwig did not follow, and asked in a low voice.

"Or just say that only one room was cleaned up?"

Chen Xing was still looking at the decoration of the room, and his eyes lit up when he heard this.

It's not the adjective's eye, but the real eye is like a flash of light.

Chen Xing touched his chin and pouted.

"......"

The rooms were very clean, there was nothing left but the bed, the table, and everything else.

Chen Xing didn't know the whole of Europe, but he knew that Parisians liked to invite others to his home as guests, and the friends Chen Xing knew in Paris all took him to his home for dinner, and occasionally stayed overnight.

But before inviting someone to stay overnight, the bed and bedding must be washed, not to mention new.

He also went to see another room, which was about the same, and the windows of both houses could see the grass outside, but the sunflowers were a little far away, and I had heard Uncle Feida say that he wanted to plant lilies instead, because Aunt Lizzie liked it.

The couple is still very romantic and rarely quarrels.

During the time that Chen Xing lived in Paris, his views on the marriage relationship improved because of them.

Uncle Feida smiled and said:

"We all care about Hedwig and treat her like our own daughter. We've been talking a lot about what Hedwig should do in the past few months, and now it's up to you to figure it out. ”

In fact, they also treat Chen Xing as their own child.

After his children were in a car accident, there were a total of six guests living in the house, and the best relationship with them was Chen Xing and Hedwig.

Hedwig's temperament is so likable, and the contact with Chen Xing also makes them feel very comfortable and relaxed.

If these two people can walk together, he and Lizzie can really wake up with a smile when they dream.

It's just that Chen Xing's character of going out to play makes Feida a little worried.

"Just don't make her sad, Hedwig is pathetic."

"Don't worry, uncle."

He is a man with zero negative reviews from his ex-girlfriend.

I hadn't seen my uncle for a long time, and the two men walked and talked, and walked out of the house to the grass outside. In addition to feelings and life, Feida is also very curious about Chen Xing's career. Because he used to be in contact with industry, it is hard to imagine that now a photo can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan.

"And are the pictures you took of us worth the money?"

Chen Xing shook his head.

"Actually, it doesn't mean that as long as I take it, it will be worth a lot, those photos can only be converted into value when they are sent to the gallery and numbered."

After he became famous, too many people studied his style.

Not to mention now, just before, before he came to Paris to study, some of his photographer fans were already able to simulate Chen Xing's little bit of color palette and shoot very flavorful Chinese style works.

In this case, how to determine whether Chen Xing's work was filmed by him?

First of all, it depends on the personal style.

Chen Xing's personal style is different from most European photographers on the market, so it is clear to French collectors whether this is 'Chen Xing's style'.

And then, the main thing, is the numbering of the Perenna Gallery.

Only the former, others may only produce a few hundred, and it is not certain if this photo will be owned by others. But if it's the latter, collectors are willing to sell and pay tenfold for such works.
