travel starts with photography

As the number one restaurant in Wujiang on a certain travel software, no matter how popular it is in the eyes of locals, there must be many foreigners who come to eat in the restaurant.

The decoration in the store looks a bit luxurious, but if you look closely, the places where the gold is painted are only gold paint.

This requires long-term maintenance. This kind of thing is definitely not like gold, which can be left alone for a long time, and it will become shiny after a little cleaning.

The entrance area was full of people.

Chen Xing waited for the waiter to bring him in, only to realize that the occupancy rate inside was only about seventy or eighty.

"Can you sit here?"

"can."

Although the place she brought Chen Xinglai was not by the window, there was a window in the direction facing it, so you could see the Taihu Lake in the distance. In other words, it was because the building was relatively tall. If you couldn’t reach the height, look out from this window Also just a bunch of evergreens.

The greening in Wujiang is still good. Along the way the driver sent Chen Xing, he could see a lot of street trees.

Chen Xing looked at the menu for a while.

The dishes here are very cheap, crispy smoked fish 20 yuan, Dongpo pork 48 yuan, green pine soup dumplings 28 yuan...

It is estimated that a meal is only about a hundred yuan.

Most online celebrity shops are not expensive, but if they are too expensive, fewer people come, and they cannot create a hot atmosphere.Since the drivers have never heard of this place, it is probably a store that has just opened with the use of this pedestrian street.

Generally speaking, the taste of new stores will not be bad.

Chen Xing was ordering here, and the waiters behind him were still discussing him in a low voice.

"is it him?"

"Kind of like, with a camera."

"Won't you come to record the video? I saw that the video of his visit to the store was watched by many people. Should we talk to the supervisor?"

Several young girls who just came to the store discussed and discussed, and finally decided not to tell the supervisor or the back chef.

Just pretend you don't know about it.

Appreciate the good looks of the handsome guy.

Although it is said that Chen Xing only has more than one million fans and has not yet opened Weibo, Chen Xing's reputation in the country is really not low.Especially in some Internet celebrity restaurants, the employees there are free to watch videos at night, and they will always see Chen Xing's videos.

After all, big data.

There are two kinds of Internet celebrities who visit restaurants. One kind of restaurant invites them to show off. They usually use money to do things, but the food they eat is actually not too bad.After all, the owner or manager of the restaurant invites the guests, so the back kitchen will concentrate on cooking.

This kind of Internet celebrity is the most, so be careful when you usually brush it.

The other kind of shop visits that are not mainly for profit are the real shop visits that can really experience the quality of a restaurant.

Just like those days when Chen Xing lived in Xi'an, he reduced the turnover of many restaurants with good traffic in a short period of time by nearly half, and simply shuffled the catering industry in Xi'an.

These are all things made by real shop explorers.

Fortunately, there are relatively few such people.

After all, when you become an Internet celebrity, everyone comes here to make money, and those who are really not short of money generally don't set up shop visits, but go to other high-end industries that ordinary people can't touch.

Therefore, to sum up, those who run restaurants, especially those who are Internet celebrities and attract a lot of local media traffic, must know those "Tiandian" anchors on the Internet who harm others and do not benefit themselves.

The waiter's discovery silently flowed to the work group.

The head waiter in the hall broke out in a cold sweat, and the kitchen was redone in a hurry, and the whole restaurant was in order as if the leader came to inspect it.

Chen Xing really didn't want to do anything else.

He didn't even take out his camera, he just came to eat.

After browsing the beep station for nearly half an hour, when the background music of Star Rock was looping in the whole person's mind, the first dish was finally served.

It was hard to pay attention to the time when he watched the video. After being told by the waiter, he subconsciously glanced at the time displayed on his phone. It was almost one o'clock now, and it took nearly half an hour for a dish to be served.

"Your speed is a bit slow, have you cooked the dishes behind me?"

"I'll bring it to you right away."

They didn't recognize Chen Xing before, and after they recognized it, it took a while for them to ferment into the work group. At this time, they were almost serving food to Chen Xing.Then I called back to redo it at this time, and of course it took longer.

The first dish was crispy smoked fish.

The fish is not a small fish that is commonly used for deep frying, but large pieces of fish. It tastes crispy and you can't taste what kind of fish it is.I only know that there are no fish bones, and then soaked in a slightly sweet sauce, it tastes delicious.

Chen Xing ate two pieces, and seeing the waiter was still around, he asked, "What kind of fish is this?"

The waiter's heart tightened, and he thought, "Sure enough, it's here!"

"It's perch."

"Oh, it's okay."

Then there is Dongpo pork. This dish is a dish that is difficult to avoid after coming to Jiangnan. It is a special dish in the entire Jiangnan region.Basically every menu will have it, and they are all doing well.

Interestingly, this dish is also very famous in Meishan, Sichuan Province, and every household has its own unique understanding.

Chen Xing has eaten both sides.

The Dongpo meat in Sichuan Province looks more beautiful, the color is good, and it tastes sweet, meaty, and has a fragrance of bamboo frame.On the Jiangnan side, Dongpo meat is softer and more juicy. In addition to rock sugar, soy sauce is added to make the meat more rosy.

Chen Xing doesn't cook by himself, but when it comes to tasting, there are probably few people who can do it.

After one bite, the fatty meat has no taste of fat meat at all, but a taste of meat sauce, which melts in the mouth, leaving only a little smell of meat.This is also the reason why Chen Xing doesn't like to eat fatty meat very much, but gradually he can eat Dongpo meat.

If anyone tastes the fat in Dongpo pork and feels greasy after eating a piece, it means that the dish is not done well.

This dish has been simmered for a long time, and the lean meat is a bit firewood.

But it still crumbles when you sip it.

Also delicious.

Afterwards, the dishes gradually came up. Since the price of this restaurant was relatively cheap, Chen Xing ordered four dishes and one soup. Now he was pleasantly surprised after trying the first two dishes. He didn’t expect that a random restaurant tasted like this good.

The key is cheap, cheap!

The sum of these dishes is only about a hundred yuan, but it is more delicious than the dishes that cost hundreds of dollars a meal.

Steamed eggs with minced meat for 20 yuan, a very large bowl, with a lot of meat in it, the minced meat and egg custard are mixed together, the color is darker than the steamed ones at home, because the minced meat itself contains A little soy sauce flavor.

Fortunately, the tables here are all far apart, otherwise Chen Xing would find that other people's bowls said egg custard was egg custard, and he probably had to search for a while before he could find some minced meat in this dish.

When Chen Xing was almost done eating and was going to pay the bill very satisfied, a tall, thin man with combed back hair and oily hair came over with a smile, and the iron card on the chest of the white shirt said foreman.

"Hello, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, shook him with his right hand, and asked, "Do you know me?"

"A famous photographer, many people know it, and there are many people in our store who are your fans."

Chen Xing glanced at them again.

He's not stupid, he understood what in an instant...

He thought that the dishes in this restaurant were so solid. There was so much meat in the egg custard for 20 yuan, and the smoked fish for [-] yuan was also a big portion. If it was doubled in other places, someone would say it was affordable.

"So you already found me?"

The foreman smiled and said: "We were also reminded by the waiter that many of them are your fans and like watching your videos very much. Please also give us a good word if Mr. Chen thinks the taste is good."

He didn't say he wouldn't let Chen Xing pay.

This meal was in the early 100s. They gave Chen Xing a free order and then asked him to praise the restaurant online. It was like saying that [-] yuan was bought from Chen Xing for a promotional opportunity. It is hard to see who is this? ?

He still understands people like Chen Xing, and sometimes it's more successful to make a relationship without profit.

However, Chen Xing said helplessly, "You don't think I'm here to make a video, do you? I didn't think so. I just came to have a meal when I felt hungry."

He had no hope here.

After all, the driver said so, Chen Xing must have thought this was a scam restaurant at first reaction, but he never expected that the food here is cheap and delicious... I would have recorded it if I knew it.

The foreman also smiled and said: "That's what we said, Mr. Chen can come here often if he thinks it's delicious."

Chen Xing nodded.

He was a little suspicious that they had discovered him a long time ago and cooked a table of dishes for him.

But to be honest, in such a location and such a well-decorated restaurant, it only costs more than 100 yuan to eat four dishes and one soup. What bicycle do you need if you have this?After all, it's a market economy now, and you get what you pay for.

Chen Xing still complied, and promised to mention it in their travel notes later.

He often has to update the travel notes of the honeycomb, after all, his millions are not for nothing...

The traffic of honeycomb is really lower than that of Biz. One of his videos can be played at least 60 times on Bie.But I worked hard to write a travel note and sent it to the honeycomb, and the result was [-] to [-] people who read it.

The key is that after tens of thousands of views, you can already go to the official homepage of Honeycomb.

How do they make money?
Chen Xing thought as he walked, and then realized...they don't cooperate with these restaurants, do they?

Otherwise, Chen Xing really couldn't think of what they would use to pay the signing fees and salaries of the contracted travelers. People had to pay to subscribe to read novels, but travel notes were free to read, and the audience was not allowed to pay a penny at all.

Forget it, I don't want to.

The travel notes on the Internet are actually written casually by him, which is not as serious as when writing physical books.

When I was living in Xitang, Chen Xing had already distributed the book to several publishing houses that often travel notes. If all goes well, the travel notes will be published by the end of this year, and I can call myself a writer by then.
Traveler, travel writer, travel photographer...

These occupations sound like a good match.

After dinner, the sun was the hottest outside, and it was difficult to take any good photos at this time, so Chen Xing took a car to the Grand Theater in Suzhou Bay to see if there would be a performance of Yue opera in the evening.

This commercial street is already on the edge of East Taihu Lake, and it only takes 10 minutes by car to Suzhou Bay Grand Theater.

He saw the huge building from a long distance away.

Huge, ribbon-like buildings.

The sun at two o'clock shone brightly on her body, and as the traffic slowly moved forward, the reflected light was also moving, and it looked like this silver ribbon was flying in the air.

"Is that the Grand Theater? Master?"

"Yes."

The driver didn't talk much, but he answered Chen Xing's question in the affirmative.

"Is there Yue opera?"

"There are, but there are few. Generally, there are more musicals, and there are some operas, which are nothing to watch." He looked at Chen Xing sideways, and felt that there are very few people of Chen Xing's age who like to watch Yue opera. , pointed him to a clear path, and said, "If you want to see it, you can go to Wujiang Culture and Art Center, there are often Yue opera performances there, and there is also Yue Opera Theater. The Culture and Art Center is not far from here, and it takes about half an hour to walk. .”

It's here.

Chen Xing paid to get out of the car, thanked his brother for the reminder, and remembered the places he said.

Seeing the Suzhou Bay Grand Theater at close range is even more shocking.

This can really be regarded as a landmark building in a big city. It is full of creativity, and it is definitely not inferior to any theater in Europe in terms of appearance.

From the other side of the street, all you can see are long ribbons.

The shape is an infinity symbol in numbers, roughly like ∞, winding from one wing at the top of the building to another, then crossing the facade and intersecting at a height of 40 meters above the ground.

This unique shape makes his roof and side walls form a whole. They are all materials that are relatively easy to reflect light. One by one, they are like sparkling water on the water, and they even avoid driving on the road. vehicles, so that this light will not affect people driving on the road.

The designer is a genius.

Chen Xing came to the Grand Theater from the overpass.

There are also many tourists here. There is a poster at the entrance of the Grand Theater, which shows a woman and a peacock...

Dance Drama "Peacock"

From August 8th to August 6th, stay tuned.

There is also the name of the choreographer on the lower right. This name is very familiar. It is Teacher Yang Liping.

However, Chen Xing was a little disappointed.

It's a dance drama...

He doesn't like dancing.Musicals and operas are better. He also has a little aesthetic basis for melody, knows what kind of melody expresses what kind of emotion, no matter how bad he is, he can still listen to other people's singing.

But he really doesn't understand dance dramas.

Let Chen Xing understand a story from other people's dances, then he might as well lie down and use Douyin. Although it is meaningless, at least he is happy.

Happiness in this society is hard to find.

In front of the Grand Theater is Taihu Lake. To be precise, it is East Taihu Lake. Taihu Lake is really big and cannot be seen from here, but on the map of the mobile phone, you can see that there are even many small islands used for tourism in the depths of Taihu Lake.

The Taihu Lake on the Wujiang side is just a small piece.

If the entire Taihu Lake is a mermaid, then the East Taihu Lake on the Wujiang side may only be regarded as a raised tail fin of the mermaid... Yes, it is not a tail, but a tail fin, just such a small point, one piece, not two pieces.

But looking out from here, she was as big as an ocean.
