Chapter 161: Chapter 119: Starting the Nationwide TourIn the blink of an eye, another day had passed, and at three o’clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng took three women to the airport. The national tour officially began. Following the plan the four had discussed yesterday, they started again from Beiji Village. After all, when they had visited last time, Beiji Village hadn’t seen snow yet, and just as they were about to leave, it started to snow. This time, they specifically went to see the snowy scenery of Beiji Village. More importantly, all four of them had a good impression of Beiji Village; the locals were polite and there were no instances of overcharging. The food also tasted very good. Chen Feng agreed with their suggestion because there was an artistic creation base in Beiji Village, most famously known for its writers’ base, and there were also bases for calligraphy and other forms of artistic creation. Therefore, Chen Feng was also planning to go and see if, by any chance, he could find one or two pieces of art that he needed. Getting on and off the plane, taking cars—a routine they were all too familiar with due to their recent first experience. After landing, Lin Wan started a livestream right away, with three beauties appearing on the screen together, which immediately livened up the stream and attracted a large number of viewers to join in. According to the agreement Chen Feng had made with them beforehand, he did not appear on the stream. Lin Wan did not sneak any footage of him either, living up to her word. In reality, having three beauties on the livestream and inserting a man would feel somewhat out of place, so Lin Wan didn’t really need Chen Feng to appear in the stream. First, the group checked into the same hotel where Chen Feng had stayed previously. However, this time Chen Feng and Sun Xiaorui stayed in a deluxe suite, while Lin Wan and Wu Mengting shared a standard twin room. Chen Feng didn’t generously offer to pay for them, keeping his promise. It wasn’t that Chen Feng was reluctant to spend money on them, but mainly because he found Lin Wan disagreeable and didn’t want her to benefit from Wu Mengting’s gain. After checking into the hotel, it was already noon, and the four went to have lunch together. This time, Chen Feng did treat them, with a meal quite similar to the one they’d had before, and they enjoyed it immensely. After lunch, they rested for a while, had a cup of tea, and then went out to play. Outside, it was a real winter wonderland with many fun activities, such as building snowmen, skiing, ice skating, and dog sledging. For them, coming from the South, all these activities were undoubtedly very novel. Chen Feng was in charge of handling the selfie stick and the livestream camera while they started with making snowmen and then proceeded to a snowball fight, with the three beauties laughing and attracting a lot of attention, especially from men. After a good amount of frolicking, they went on a dog sled tour around Beiji Village. As for skiing and ice skating, they decided to leave those activities for the next day at Chen Feng’s suggestion. Before the darkness fell, Chen Feng took them to the village’s cultural and artistic creation base. After browsing for a while, the place wasn’t large, but it did have some substance. Primarily because a fairly well-known female author had come from here, and with her influence, along with the fame of the Snow Village, many artists were attracted to congregate here. Now, the base was home not only to writers but also to other artists, such as painters, calligraphers, and photographers. Chen Feng’s main interest was in the calligraphers. However, after a tour, having seen some exhibited works of calligraphy and painting, he found none that met his standards. Just as he was about to leave disappointed, he took a detour to look at some of the photographic works and one caught his attention. It was a photographic piece titled "Snow Village," capturing the night scene of Beiji Village, with snow-covered wooden houses, orange lanterns, wooden fences, and traditional paper-cuts on the doors and windows of the houses, which exuded an old-fashioned charm in the light. Despite the icy and snowy landscape in the photo, the image made Chen Feng feel a wave of warmth. A sense of warmth for his hometown; at the thought of home and the old houses there, many people would feel that comfort and warmth. It was just like that. Apart from the effect it had on Chen Feng, the photograph was undoubtedly a masterpiece. Chen Feng looked at the photographer’s name below the work: Zhang Shan. He suddenly felt a deep respect for him. He took out his phone to search online, but there were too many people with the same name, and after a while, he couldn’t find a photographer named Zhang Shan. "What do you think of this photo?" Chen Feng put away his phone and asked Sun Xiaorui beside him. "It’s pretty good, very nice to look at, very soothing," Sun Xiaorui answered casually. Wu Mengting took the initiative to say, "This piece is really good, the control of light and color is very well done. It gives you a warm feeling when you look at it." Hearing this, Chen Feng couldn’t help but look at Wu Mengting in surprise as they seemed to share the same sentiment. Lin Wan, however, clearly lacked some artistic appreciation and disagreed, "I think it looks very ordinary. This is a village, what kind of famous photographer could there be? Maybe it’s just some locals amusing themselves with their own photography." That was quite... damn village people. Of course, not finding the photographer Zhang Shan on the phone indeed indicated he wasn’t very famous. But Chen Feng had taken a liking to this photographic work and was determined to purchase it. He immediately inquired with the staff, stating he wanted to buy the piece and asked for assistance in contacting the photographer Zhang Shan. However, the staff mentioned there was no need to contact Zhang Shan. He just had to speak with the person in charge here, and if the price was right, the piece could be sold to Chen Feng. This was because all the exhibited pieces had been entrusted to the organizers for sale. As long as a buyer was interested and the price met the original creator’s starting price, a transaction could be made.
