(The system generated an extra chapter of 187 yesterday, and I changed it to 188 this morning. You can re-read yesterday's chapter... So, Tea Picking has been updated by 8,000 words today! Woohoo...)
Video production?
Isn’t this something I already know?
When she first decided to be the hostess, Chen Xing didn't know anything. She only knew the color grading of the work, but it was not enough to know only the color grading. The video is not just a project of color grading.
It has to be edited, right? It has to be dubbed, right?
So he studied by himself for a long time, and gradually changed from a novice who knew nothing and could only post short street photography videos, to an all-round granny who can post long-term travel videos.
Is it too late to make a video for me now?
But this thought flashed through Chen Xing's mind for a moment, and then he immediately said: "But I don't want to express anything, I just want to express my emotion! Giving skills is always better than giving money."
No response...
The system won’t be angry, right?
Forget it, let’s not think about it for now. When it gets dawn, Chen Xing wants to go see the creek outside.
Mountains, plains, grasslands, streams, this kind of big environment may sound incomprehensible, but when you see it, you will still find it very beautiful and shocking. Human beings are born to yearn for such vast places, whether it is the starry sky or the grassland
.
Even in the city, who wants to look at the high-rise buildings opposite their home every day?
After changing clothes and going out, Uncle Afanti and his wife were milking cows outside. The weather was very cold, and the breath exhaled by people and animals could be clearly seen, which is enough to show how cold the weather is today.
Brother Sha didn't see where he was, but he wasn't a person like him who liked to sleep in. He probably got up early. Seeing that Chen Xing hadn't gotten up yet, he went to do other things.
Chen Xing and the uncle said hello, took the camera and ran towards the river.
The air is so nice in the morning here.
The Kanas area is a famous woodland distribution area.
In the future, when people ask about domestic forests, don’t always talk about the Greater Khingan Range, Lesser Khingan Range, and Shenlongjia. You can also remember the taiga forest distribution area in the Kanas Valley.
Taiga is not a plant, but the abbreviation of "Taiga Belt", which refers to the northern tower-shaped coniferous forest belt extending more than 1,000 kilometers south from the southern boundary tree line of the Arctic tundra. It is the largest and also the largest in the world.
A forest belt type with a unique ecological environment in the arctic cold zone.
Also called cold temperate bright coniferous forest.
Anyway, there are some fir trees like spruce, fir, and some pine trees.
The tall trees Chen Xing saw in the video actually belong to the taiga forest belt.
Uncle Afanti and his family live in such a forest, how could the air be so bad?
He quickly ran to the water's edge, and the scenery and details that he had not seen when it was dark yesterday were revealed one by one. Only in the daytime can he see the clarity of the river more clearly, without any impurities.
Yesterday, Chen Xing thought it was mountain spring water, but maybe it really was.
Thinking of the sweetness when he drank water yesterday, Chen Xing took a lot of water with his hands to drink, and then purred his mouth.
Cold.
But sweet.
There really is water that is very sweet in itself.
The mountains across the river are also very unique. It is estimated that in China, such bare and majestic mountains can only be seen in places like Western Xinjiang and Tibet, and maybe at most Lanzhou.
There are surprises everywhere in the ancient Western Regions.
And the stones here are also very beautiful.
Chen Xing walked on it, picking and choosing, trying to find two beautiful small stones as souvenirs.
But soon, Chen Xing discovered a translucent green color on a stone...
Chen Xing picked it up, washed it in water, and took another look.
Greener.
"Isn't this jade?"
There are snow-capped mountains nearby.
Wherever there are snowy mountains, there will be stones. These mountains are "living". As long as the mountains move, geological disasters such as mudslides will occur, and then large and small stones will roll down.
There are many jade stones with excellent texture.
The famous "Hetian Jade" in Western Xinjiang is a kind of rock formed during typical crustal movement and plate movement.
When Chen Xing came to Xijiang this time, he wanted to take some jade souvenirs with him when he went back, but he never expected to find them on the ground.
Mainly, I feel that if there were good jade here, it would have been developed long ago. How could we wait until now?
Chen Xing felt a little excited and searched for them on the ground again, but after half an hour, he only found three. He put them all in his pocket and started taking photos here, of the stream, and of the mountain opposite.
When Brother Sha came over, Chen Xing asked: "Brother Sha, do you know what this water is?"
"Snowy mountains melting into water, it should be."
"Not mountain spring water?"
"Then I don't know. I asked my uncle before, and his family all said that this is melted water from snow mountains. What's wrong? Is this question important? I'll ask you later."
"No, no, no, no need, it's not very important."
However, whether this is mountain spring water or snow-capped mountain melt water, judging from the terrain, shape, direction of the water flow and the distribution of stones on the bank, this river must have been hundreds or thousands of years old. p>
When Chen Xing and Brother Sha went back, Uncle Afanti had already prepared breakfast.
Chen Xing drank the milk and said, "Why don't you eat it?"
"We have already eaten."
"..."
Well, I’m the only one who can’t get up during the day.
Mornings are very precious for herdsmen, as there are many things to do, so the time to get up every day is definitely before dawn. When Chen Xing wakes up, the Afanti family has already finished most of their work, and they are watching their wife milk the cows. After drinking the milk, Chen Xing put the bowl on the table and licked his lips with his tongue.
Fortunately, I have a strong iron stomach now, otherwise I would have had diarrhea based on how frequently I ate dairy products here.
Mainland people will get stomachaches if they eat too much milk. If you don’t believe it, you can try it.
When Chen Xing saw that the child was not there, he asked, and Afanti said: "I went to study. The government arranged it."
"It's good to study." Chen Xing agreed very much.
After thinking for a while, Chen Xing took out a few stones from his pocket and asked: "Uncle, what are these stones here? Are they jade?"
Uncle Afanti didn't even look at it. He held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "It's from the river, right? It's jade, it's jade, but the quality is very poor and has no development value. We've already had people come over and have a look. It's not anything."
Something valuable."
Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, then looked depressed.
But he quickly recovered his mood.
Even if it's not valuable, it's because he spent time finding it, and no matter how bad the jade is, it's still jade. With that touch of green, Chen Xing can put it at home, even if he brags about it with his friends, it will be an extra talking point.
What Chen Xing doesn't know is that even if these jade stones are worthless, they can still be sold for a few hundred yuan in the city.
Uncle Afanti said this because he saw that Chen Xing wanted it, so he told Chen Xing to take it without any psychological burden.
Chen Xing paid them accommodation fee last night. None of their family wanted to accept it. They thought Chen Xing was their friend, but they finally accepted the money after Brother Sha's persuasion. The more Afanti thought about it this morning, the more he felt uncomfortable.
When it was time to collect the money, I got up and scolded Brother Sha.
It's okay now, just give Chen Xing a few stones. This can be regarded as a gift between friends.
Not only that, Afanti also went home and found a few more stones for Chen Xing. They were more beautiful than the ones Chen Xing found himself, as if they were works of art with a little processing, and then gave Chen Xing a bucket of yogurt.<
/p>
It's really a bucket, the kind of bucket from a water dispenser, with the top sealed with tape, and inside is a bucket full of milk.
"I, I, I, I really can't drink!" Chen Xing stuttered.
Fresh milk is not the processed kind bought in supermarkets. It can be stored for half a month without going bad. This kind of fresh milk is squeezed out by the herdsmen and processed a little by themselves. The storage time is much longer than that sold in supermarkets.
.
I estimate it will only be three or four days.
"Don't talk until you can't drink, just take it!"
Uncle Afanti forced a bucket of milk into Chen Xing's arms. Chen Xing was afraid that he would fall and could only hold him.
"Haha..."
Seeing Chen Xing accept it, Uncle Afanti laughed loudly, and then said goodbye to the two of them.
They are leaving.
Returning from the path to the parking place, there was already a lot of snow on the car, but it didn't snow yesterday. The snow fell from the trees.
Chen Xing raised his head and looked up.
A few little squirrels stood on a branch a few meters high without fear of people, looking at the two people below curiously.
The squirrels are all out and about.
Chen Xing put the milk in the trunk, and after getting in the car, he asked Brother Sha: "We took so many things, will your uncle suffer a loss? After all, I only gave you a thousand yuan yesterday."<
/p>
Staying one night and eating two meals in a place like this doesn't actually cost so much.
But Chen Xing thought that as long as he stayed here for one night, it would be a stable benefit, at least more than 20,000 yuan, so it was nothing to give Uncle Afanti a thousand yuan, but who would have thought that he would take it before leaving
There are so many things.
So much jade, and that big bucket of fresh milk.
If you take this milk to Chengdu or other big cities, it is estimated that many rich people will buy it for 1,000 yuan a barrel.
Brother Sha drove the car and didn't answer Chen Xing's words for a long time.
But as if he couldn't bear it anymore, he suddenly said: "You don't think my uncle and the others are poor, do you?"
"Well, I didn't mean that."
"No, I just want to tell you that no one living in Kanas is poor, especially herdsmen like my uncle. Their cattle and sheep are very valuable in themselves, and their income is quite a lot from this alone.
, coupled with the fact that we can make extra money by picking up rocks when we have nothing to do, we are really envious..."
When he saw Chen Xing looking at him, he nodded again and said, "These are the stones for you."
"Very valuable?"
"It's said to be very valuable, but it's not that valuable. It's just that it can be sold for a little money. How much it can be sold actually depends on how much the jade buyer gives."
"..."
"Ah, this... is really a rich man."
Brother Sha spoke solemnly and said: "Their expenses are not much to begin with. Even though the house they live in is poor and it is a disaster relief house built by the state, they only live here in the winter. Chen Xing, you know the nomads
?"
"Know."
Nima Zandui and his family are nomads.
After the pastures turn green again in the summer, they will set up temporary housing in the pastures dozens of kilometers away, start their grazing career for half a year again, and then take them back again in the winter... This cycle repeats, which is the modern nomadic life.
Chen Xing understood what Brother Sha meant. Brother Sha said that whether the nomads were living well or not was not necessarily related to whether the place where they lived was good or not.
Nomadic nomadic, look at these two words.
"You" originally means an unstable state, but once "nomad" is combined together, it becomes much easier. There is no heavy pressure, no burden, relatively freedom, and very comfortable. Maybe people live a happier life than people in the city.
.
It's a bit hard, but to be honest, there's no pressure.
"Then these jade stones..."
"Take it."
Of course what Brother Sha wanted in his mind was to let Chen Xing return it to his uncle, because Chen Xing just stayed there for one night, so why would he give so many things? And if you stay in someone else’s house for one night, is it not natural to pay accommodation fees?
Just like this, my uncle even scolded me in the morning, and now Brother Sha doesn't dare to say any more.
Chen Xing looked at a few stones, and now he likes them more and more.
I wasn’t going to take it out to make some kind of ornament, so I just let them keep it at home, in the living room, waiting for their friends to come... Yo? What is this, where did you find it?
Chen Xing could proudly tell them the story of finding gems in the creek in Xijiang.
Today’s trip is not far, and Chen Xing is not that boring anymore.
"We're here, Kanas." Brother Sha suddenly said.
Chen Xing glanced out the window, and saw a world of snow outside.
Brother Sha said before that winter has passed, but as long as he sees this scene in front of him, it means that the king of heaven has come. Chen Xing also said that it is winter here, and even in the coldest time of winter over there, there is nothing in front of them.
One-tenth of the screen is white.
There is snow on the ground and on the trees.
The snow is white, and the sky is also white. If you just take a simple look and don't distinguish carefully, it will be difficult for ordinary people to see where the dividing line between the snow and the sky is.
Yes, it’s just that white.
The spruce trees in Western Xinjiang, combined with the white snow everywhere, suddenly reminded Chen Xing of Frozen. Many scenes in the movie were the same as what Chen Xing saw in front of him, and the difference was negligible.
The place where Princess Elsa lives should be like this, right?
Chen Xing was closing his eyes and opening his arms to embrace the world. Brother Sha's words pulled him into reality.
“ Chen
You have to pay for it yourself, and if anyone says there are any other services, don’t give them money, they are all scammers.”
"Okay." Chen Xing said dullly.
He is a photographer and an artist.
It is not difficult to understand, all photographers are artists.
Inspiration for artists is very precious. Chen Xing just got inspired.
