Cueillette de La Grange, this is the largest agricultural producing area in the surrounding area, located in Province 77.
I don’t know how the regions of Paris are divided. When Chen Xing talks about place names to others, they always seem messy. Sometimes there are districts and districts, and sometimes there are provinces and provinces.
In fact, arrondissements 1 to 20 all belong to Little Paris. In China, this Little Paris can be imagined as the main city. 1 to 20 just divide the main city into small areas.
The postal codes of these 20 districts begin with 75, which can be recorded as province 75.
With the Seine River as the boundary, when traveling to Paris, you should remember that south of the Seine River is basically a safe zone, but you cannot relax your vigilance. North of the Seine River, the further you go to the suburbs, the more chaotic the security will be, especially in the outermost 18-
20. If you can, don’t go.
There are recent demonstrations in Paris, and Chen Xing can hear explosions in the distance even at night.
Department 77 is an outer suburb. I said before that the further you get from Paris, the more chaotic you get in the suburbs. But if you get further away, when you are about to leave Paris, the security becomes better again.
It is said that many people in Province 77 do not know it, but there is one scenic spot here that 80% of people born after the 1970s know about it, and that is the Fontainebleau Palace translated by Mr. Zhu.
The last time Chen Xing came here was to visit the Palace of Fontainebleau.
I just didn’t expect that a certain distance away was the barn picking base, the largest agricultural tourism base in Paris.
There are more than a thousand acres of land here covered by farms, which is more than a hundred standard football fields. If people in Paris want to experience the life of a farmhouse, they will come here to travel. They come here in the morning and play until night before driving.
Go back.
There are more than fifty kinds of fruits and a large number of vegetables, basically waiting for tourists to pick them themselves.
Such a large area naturally does not belong to one person.
Otherwise, how rich would he be?
More than a thousand acres, enough to build a Forbidden City.
Aunt Lizzy and her family have about fifty acres of land here. Instead of growing fruits, they have planted a large patch of sunflowers. At this time, tulips, lavender, and all the roses have withered, but sunflowers bloom in summer.
Especially beautiful.
The tour bus was driving on a road that was so straight that there was no end in sight, and the one-day tour guide signed up by Chen Xing was introducing them to the land outside the window.
It is very cheap to find this kind of one-day tour in Paris. The price of 50 euros includes a lunch, round-trip transportation, and a warm introduction by a tour guide. The route is also very clear.
The current one-day tours in China are born out of this model.
But...
Just don’t say it.
"Outside the window on the left are lilies. The blooming time is almost over, but they still look bright. We will stop at this farm in a while. I hope all passengers will not step on the flowers casually. We are only responsible for explaining, not responsible
Your compensation..."
The tour guide chattered endlessly.
Chen Xing said to Hedwig: "Is it here?"
He remembered that his aunt liked this kind of flower very much.
"No... there aren't so many things in their farm, there is only a garden and grassland. I... I'm sorry, I don't remember the way." Hedwig said quietly.
She had no memory of how she got there.
Aunt Lizzie was sitting next to her, and her uncle drove the car. She remembered that there were five dogs, some cows, and a few beautiful horses on the farm. She also remembered that the flowers were beautiful and the air was fresh. As for the road, she couldn't remember it at all.
.
Chen Xing sighed: "No wonder you don't go out. It turns out you are still a road fool."
This is not the first time I have gone there, and I don’t know where it is.
As long as Chen Xing has been to a place once, he can basically find the way the second time he goes there. This is related to his regular training. Whenever he goes to a strange place, he will definitely bring his camera and go out to sweep the streets. He also does the same when sweeping the streets.
I don’t know how to read the navigation at all.
A place is a place wherever it goes.
Then go back.
I only use navigation when I really can’t find my way.
Generally, road crazy people are road crazy because they don’t remember the features on the road. For example, some people are insensitive to the appearance of buildings, and they even cannot recognize some buildings that are completely different styles. That’s why they are road crazy. What kind of person is Hedwig?
Situation?
She knows as much about architectural styles as Chen Xing.
The car continued to drive for a few minutes and stopped in a small parking lot. As soon as Chen Xing got out of the car, he saw Uncle Feida. His old antique car was very eye-catching. There are probably only one car like this on the road in Paris now.
Not much.
Feida hadn't seen Chen Xing for a long time. He liked this young man from China very much. When he saw him and Hedwig getting off the car, he came over with open arms. He laughed and hugged Chen Xing and said, "Hahaha,
I've been waiting for you here for a long time."
"Sorry, there may be a little traffic jam in Paris today."
"I'm not referring to today. I haven't seen you for months. Now you are so awesome. I can find information about you everywhere when I search on the Internet. It's 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 he painted for two or three weeks could sell for two to three thousand euros. Later, they heard that Chen Xing’s photo shoot cost several thousand euros. Good guy, our family
Are people like dragons?
Brother Asan shed tears at the scene...
But I don’t care, I’m a Kshatriya!
Now it’s even more powerful, a photo worth tens of thousands of euros?
When his wife came back and told him a few days ago, he didn't believe it yet, but when he looked up Chen Xing's name on the search software, he believed it. Some lesser celebrities didn't have as many entries as Chen Xing 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 a tour group and come by car.
Taking a taxi in Paris is very expensive. Generally, taking a taxi is enough for short distances, such as the journey from the airport to school. But the cost of taking a taxi from Little Paris to Province 77 is so expensive that it makes Chen Xing feel a little heartbroken. p>
I have a little bit of money, but my thinking about spending money is still the same as before.
If he doesn't travel or buy anything big, his current living expenses are about 3,000 euros, which includes accommodation, meals, occasional nightclubs, shopping, etc.
It is already considered very superior, and ordinary international students can use it for a few hundred euros for a month.
But then again, those who can study in Europe will not have ordinary family conditions. Even if the family does not support it, there will be scholarships. If not, you can still work part-time. So 1,500 euros is considered the standard consumption for international students.<
/p>
Chen Xing knows a few Chinese people who came to Paris to study purely because of their good grades. They work a day at a fast food restaurant on weekends and earn one or two hundred euros.
During this holiday, Chen Xing doesn't have time to travel to other countries in Europe, but these people are reluctant to pay for air tickets back to China, but they are very willing to travel to other countries. It is estimated that they should come back by now, after all, school is about to start.
Back to business, after another ten minutes’ drive, we arrived at the manor belonging to Uncle Feida and Aunt Lizzy.
In this large comprehensive farm, only one avenue in the middle is a specially built road. From this road, you turn into each small farm, which was built by the farmer himself. Feida's classic car is not very good at damping, so it is a bit bumpy to drive on such a road.
.
But the scenery on both sides is very good.
After they came in from the previous fence, the place they saw now belonged to them. They saw cows and sheep in the windy grassland... Here they saw cows and horses. There were only cows and no sheep in this farm.
Feida held a cigarette in his mouth and said: "Sooner or later I will have to repair this road again."
Chen Xing said: "Should we just fill in some soil?"
"The soil is not good enough. We can only use the car to fill the soil. But sometimes industrial vehicles will drive in here, and the vehicles will run away as soon as they press the soil. Even sometimes when it rains, the soil will also run away. We still need to get serious again.
Repair."
Hedwig pulled Chen Xing and asked him to look out the window.
Outside the open window are the sunflowers.
Chen Xing asked curiously: "Uncle Feida, other people's homes grow roses, lavender, and tulips. Why do you have sunflowers here? Is it more profitable to grow these flowers than other flowers?"
"No, this was planted by the old man before." He said.
This farm didn't belong to them before, it belonged to Aunt Lizzie's father.
The old man has a son and a daughter. Neither of them wanted to inherit his farm before, and the old man didn't want to sell it to outsiders as his ancestral property. Seeing that he is getting older, he is about to become depressed and ill because of this matter.
But who knew that my grandson had an accident?
The daughter who had no worries chose to return to the land where she grew up.
This made the old man so happy that he packed up his things overnight and took his wife out for a trip.
As for why he was so happy when his grandson had an accident?
Chen Xing didn't know either. Uncle Feida didn't say whether he was happy or not. He just said that the old man was currently traveling in Italy. Chen Xing made up everything else.
Europeans’ family values are not as strong as those in China. Many times, when children grow up, their mission as parents is relieved.
The family Chen Xing met in Vernon is just an example.
There is also an idiom in China: bully the master and destroy the ancestor.
The car finally parked under a large villa that looked like it was made of wood. Chen Xing liked the parking area they had built separately. It was a pavilion that was fixed to the house at one end and supported by two steel pipes at the other end. p>
The top is not a reinforced concrete roof, but a thick layer of glass plates.
The slight inclination angle is probably used to drain away rainwater.
Only France, located in western Europe, would build houses in this way, because it rarely snows heavily here in winter, so when repairing the roof, there is no need to consider whether it will be crushed by heavy snow.
In places in the north where there is snow, the roofs are all shaped like "people", which is called a mountain shape in architecture, especially in northern China.
My aunt had heard the sound of the old Fida car a long time ago and came over to greet her with a smile on her face. In the distance, there were employees who were looking here out of curiosity, massaging the cows while watching.
These cows enjoy it more than people.
"Chen, Hedwig..." Aunt Lizzy wanted to help them get something, but Chen Xing quickly said, "I'll do it myself, I'll do it myself!"
It’s so polite to see an elder who hasn’t seen you for a long time.
His box is a bit heavy, but it contains not clothes, but some photographic equipment, easels, paper, paints, etc.
The painting that Hedwig painted before is not finished yet. It is now left at home to wait for the paint on the painting to dry naturally. They will play here for a few days and then go back to continue painting. It is estimated that it will be a week or two before Chen Xing can see the finished product. p>
This is the kind of oil painting she can sell for money.
Now when I bring my easel out, I just draw something on paper. Otherwise, Hedwig, who has no other hobbies, really doesn’t know what she can do.
Chen Xing carried the box into the house and put it away. Hedwig secretly followed Aunt Lizzie to watch her cook. Feida led Chen Xing to see the two empty rooms they had packed up for Chen Xing. On the way, he looked at Hedwig.
Wei didn't follow, but asked in a low voice.
"How about saying that we only cleaned up one room?"
Chen Xing was still looking at the decoration of the room, but his eyes lit up when he heard these words.
It's not an adjective that means the eyes light up, but it's like a light flashed in the real eyes.
Chen Xing touched his chin and sucked his teeth.
"彳亍..."
The guest room is very clean, except for the bed and table, there is nothing else.
Chen Xing didn't know the whole of Europe, but he knew that Parisians liked to invite others to their homes. The friends Chen Xing met in Paris all took him to their homes for meals and occasionally stayed overnight.
But before inviting others to stay overnight, the bed and bedding must be washed, not to mention new ones.
He also went to see another room, which was similar. The windows of both houses could see the grass outside, but the sunflowers were a bit far away. Uncle Feida had previously heard that he wanted to plant lilies instead, because Aunt Lizzy
Like.

This couple is still very romantic and rarely quarrels.
During the time that Chen Xing lived in Paris, it was because of them that his views on marriage relationships improved.
Uncle Feida smiled and said:
"We all care about Hedwig and treat her as our own daughter. In the past few months, we have often discussed what Hedwig should do in the future. Now, it's up to you to figure out a solution to this problem." p>
They actually treat Chen Xing as their own child.
After his child had a car accident, there were six guests living in the house, among whom Chen Xing and Hedwig had the best relationship.
Hedwig's temperament is so lovable, and their contact with Chen Xing also made them feel very comfortable and relaxed.
If these two people could get together, he and Li Zi would really be able to laugh out of their dreams.
It's just that Chen Xing's character of going out and having fun makes Feida a little worried.
"Just don't make her sad. Hedwig is very pitiful."
"Don't worry, uncle."
He is a man whose ex-girlfriend has zero bad reviews.
It’s been a long time since I met my uncle. The two men walked and chatted, walked out of the house and came to the grass outside. In addition to love and life, Feida was also curious about Chen Xing’s career. Because he had been exposed to industry in the past.
, it’s hard to imagine that a photo can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars now.
"Are the photos you took for us worth the money?"
Chen Xing shook his head.
"Actually, it doesn't mean that as long as I take the photos, they are definitely valuable. Those photos can only be converted into value after they are sent to the gallery and have a number."
After he became famous, too many people studied his style.
Not to mention now, in the past, before he came to Paris to study, some of his photographer fans could already imitate a little bit of Chen Xing's color palette and shoot very flavorful Chinese-style works.
In this situation, how to determine whether Chen Xing’s work was taken by him?
First of all, it depends on your personal style.
Chen Xing’s personal style is different from most European photographers on the market, so local French collectors can clearly tell whether this is ‘Chen Xing’s style’.
Then, the most important thing is the number of Perena Gallery.
Only in the former case, others may only offer a few hundred or thousands, and it is not certain whether anyone else will own this photo. But if it is the latter, collectors will be willing to sell it, and the price will increase tenfold to buy this kind of photo.
