【1201】 Picturesque scenery

After the elderly and children had rested, the convoy continued to move forward, slowly walking along the picturesque seventeen miles, as if they were walking in a painting.

Seventeen miles is not a quantifier, but a place name, specifically refers to the seventeen-mile long coastal highway from Monterey to Carmel. This is the essence of "Road One" and one of the few private toll roads in America.

Generally speaking, this road will be closed at around 7 o'clock in the evening to avoid passing vehicles affecting the rest of the surrounding residents.

Most of the private estate owners on both sides of the seventeen miles are American rich, artists, sports stars, etc. This is also one of the areas with the highest per capita wealth in the United States.

Seventeen miles can be regarded as the master of the sea view. It has gentle beaches, steep rock walls, and scattered green meadows, as well as lush ecological forests. Many American super rich people have always liked to regard this place as a place for vacation and leisure. The luxury mansions often use seven or even eight digits of dollar units to show their value!

Sometimes, real estate here is not something that can be bought with money. Rich people with sufficient funds rarely have plans to sell vacation properties. Unless there are occasionally problems with the capital chain of individual super rich people, they may be put on the sale list.

It is still too far from Los Angeles. Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao have no plans to buy property within 17 miles. They prefer to buy a manor near the Pebble Beach Golf Course near Los Angeles.

In order to allow the elderly and children to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, the convoy was not moving fast, and he stopped from time to time to take photos on the beach.

It was almost three o'clock in the morning in China, and Douyu's live video broadcast naturally stopped temporarily, but the live video broadcast on the scarf continued.

Many night owl fans are also following Xiao Feng's family's itinerary on Xiao Feng's scarf, and the boundless beautiful scenery captured through the camera made everyone amazed.

I have to say that Xiao Feng still has some talent for live broadcasts, and is able to consider the ideas of fans and present the content everyone wants to see the most on the Internet.

A large number of reposts and comments made Xiao Feng's scarf topped the first place in Qiandu Search. The last time Xiao Feng won this honor was when he won three consecutive championships in NBA.

In a sense, China has become a society for national entertainment today. Various information about celebrities is the goal pursued by netizens and fans.

…………

The seventeen-mile itinerary took more than two hours. When the convoy arrived at Carmel Town, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Feng simply decided to stay in Carmel Town and continue to set off tomorrow morning.

Since joining NBA, Xiao Feng has been able to spend time with his family every year in a short summer, and sometimes has to deal with various affairs. He has only a handful of time to spend vacation with his family.

As someone who has always puts his family first, it is a great happiness to spend more time with the elderly and children!

This time, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao have already explained the group's various affairs and are preparing to leisurely wander back to Los Angeles from Highway 1 and stay in Carmel Town for one night, without much problem.

Carmel is an exquisite beachfront town on the Monterey Peninsula. It is located about two miles south of the famous tourist attraction on the West Coast of America - Seventeen Mile Road (17 Mile), about two hours drive from San Francisco. Carmel was founded in the early 20th century. Although its history is less than a hundred years, it is well-known on the West Coast of America. It is a small town full of humanities, artists gather, and bohemian flavor.

Carmel is a paradise, with many unique artists and writers living in this small bohemian city surrounded by mountains and seas. The unique buildings and scenery are as beautiful as fairy tales. The residents here are resistant to modernization. Today, the city is still prohibited from posting advertisements, installing neon lights or parking tables and fast food restaurants to maintain their original appearance. The original style brings people simplicity, peace and warmth. Walk west along the town’s main street, Oeanavenue, to the end of the town, is Carmel Beach, which has a unique sandy beach on the "Seventeen Mile".

The glorious Monterey Peninsula is known as the world's largest land, ocean and blue sky, and is recognized as an ideal resort. The 17-mile Carmel is the essence. The blue sea, blue sky, flowers and reefs, squirrels, seabirds and seals, cliffs, and ancient cypresses form a charming picture of seventeen miles.

…………

The arrival of the luxury convoy did not attract much attention from the residents of the town. The artists were not so sensitive to power and wealth. Besides, the artists who could live here were all people who were not short of money.

The convoys of wealthy people who live within seventeen miles are even more exaggerated. The residents of Carmel Town have long been indifferent to these things, so they still look at Xiao Feng's convoy with a normal mind.

When Xiao Feng and his party got out of the car, some people recognized Xiao Feng's identity, but no one rushed up to take photos and sign autographs like ordinary fans, and it was normal for artists to be reserved.

There are not many modern elements in Carmel Town. The hotels here maintain many excellent traditions and strong artistic atmosphere. Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao fell in love with the hotel William's booked at once.

This is a hotel built on a cliff by the sea. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the bedroom, you can see the surging Pacific Ocean. You can sleep on the sea at night, which is an irresistible temptation for everyone.

After packing up his luggage, Xiao Feng took a photo in the bedroom and posted it on his neck, and wrote, "Tonight, I will fall asleep with the company of the Pacific Haitao, happy!"

For many domestic fans, such a hotel is undoubtedly a dream choice, and all kinds of wonders can be clearly conveyed even through the vast Pacific Ocean.

After packing up their luggage, Xiao Feng's family walked together, wandering around the town, and enjoying the unique charm of this town.

For a hundred years, Carmel's style, which has only more than 4,000 residents so far, remains the same. It has become a highlight of the seventeen-mile Gold Coast Highway in California with its beautiful natural environment and elegant artistic atmosphere. There are various fashion stores, antique stores, candy stores, galleries, toy stores and daily craft stores here.

Compared with Los Angeles and New York's modern and fashionable shops, the shops here exudes an artistic atmosphere from time to time, making people unable to stop.

For example, most of the clothing and leather bags in the fashion store here are designed and hand-made by the store owner. There is only one in the world, and you can't buy it even if you have money elsewhere.

In a sense, many shops here sell goods closer to artworks, and artists give them life, which is an important factor in maintaining their charm throughout Carmel.

The happiest thing for the children is the candy shop. Candies with different shapes are like crystal glass, which makes people reluctant to leave their mouths. They are very suitable for taking them home to collect them.

As I was walking around, the security personnel behind me carried a lot of bags in their hands. Xiao Feng's family started the street sweeping mode and bought it very well!

Xu Mengyao fell in love with the artistic style of clothing and bags here. For her who rarely appears in the workplace, these beautiful clothing and bags can give her more charm.

Xiao Feng usually likes to cook for his family. This time he bought several sets of fine porcelain products and prepared to take them back to use during important festivals.

Xiao Jinyang bought a pair of chess made of North American red pine. Recently, he is learning chess with his children, and he is still very addicted.

Everyone in the family bought several of them. They are used to visiting the top luxury brand stores in Los Angeles. Walking around in this unique small shop is full of a unique feeling!

Xiao Feng and his party also saw the "can-residence" where the master of Chinese painting Mr. Daqian lived, but now things have changed, and this place has become a private residence of an American artist, and the idea of ​​visiting has failed.

According to Grandpa Xiao Feng, he had a relationship with Mr. Daqian back then, and his farm provided the old man with high-quality ingredients for a long time.

Xiao Feng is also a person in the art circle. He naturally respects Mr. Daqian, a world-renowned artist, and it’s a pity that he didn’t get to see him!

After being tired of shopping, Xiao Feng and his family found a restaurant for dinner instead of returning to the fleet to have a meal.

When traveling, in addition to the beautiful scenery, the biggest surprise is the food with different flavors in various places. If you miss it, it will be a pity.

Xiao Feng and the others are not the pretentious ones who can’t eat without top-quality food, so it’s normal to occasionally eat in restaurants outside.

The owner of the restaurant is an oil painter from Italy. The restaurant layout is more like a gallery, and the food here also makes Xiao Feng praise it.

The town of Carmel is close to the sea and naturally has rich seafood, Italian-style seafood risotto, and black truffles from northern Italy, which is equivalent to style. Several little guys are all full of oil.

The owner Vacana was still very interested in Xiao Feng and his party. After all, there were very few Chinese people traveling with their families, not to mention that all four little guys could speak fluent Italian, which made the old man very happy.

After dinner, Varcana specially took out his treasured Blue Mountain coffee for Xiao Feng and others to make it, and sat in the store to chat, which was more like a gathering of friends.

This feeling makes Xiao Feng very comfortable, with less merciless commercial elements and more humane flavor. This may be the unique charm of Carmel Town?

Before leaving, the old man Vakana also gave each of the four children a set of painting tools, and welcomed the children to come and see the bearded grandfather when they have time.

Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao also smiled helplessly. This handsome Italian guy is really enthusiastic, completely different from the image of an artist with quirks in ordinary people's impression.

This time Xiao Feng did not bring any decent gifts with him, so he could only keep this favor in his heart for the time being and send him a "Mengyao Coffee". It is also very suitable for this Italian artist who likes to make coffee by himself.

After coming out of the restaurant, night has gradually fallen. Without the neon light pollution, the night sky of Carmel Town looks particularly beautiful!

The moon that was almost complete hangs in the air, and the bright moonlight poured into the ground like mercury, covering the entire town of Carmel.

There were no cars coming and going, no noise, only the occasional barking of dogs and night owls from afar, which made Xiao Feng return to the "Ginkgo Village" of his childhood!

In this quiet atmosphere, the artists' inspiration will surely be like a fountain. No wonder thousands of artists settled here.

The children were running on the lawn in front, and their parents were following behind. At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly fell in love with the town.

From the bottom of my heart, Xiao Feng is a person who likes quiet and idealism. Being able to live in such a small town is actually the greatest happiness!

Unfortunately, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao can't leave everything behind and live in seclusion here. Perhaps in a few decades, when Yu'er and the others can take over the industries of the "Jinghu Group" and the "Xiao Family" well, Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao can consider coming here to settle down.

With Xiao Feng and Xu Mengyao's current learning status, maybe they can achieve good results in a certain field by then, and only then can they move in as an "artist" will be more face-saving!

…………

When he returned to the hotel, Xiao Feng still read story books for the children as usual. Of course, there was a little more content tonight, which was to let the children tell all kinds of interesting things and feelings during today's itinerary.

For Xiao Feng, he does not necessarily require the children to become a big shot in the future, but he still hopes that children can be passionate about life and be good at observing life.

Therefore, children do not have to write weekly diaries, diaries, etc., but it is enough to be able to observe and think about many details in life through their own eyes!

In fact, communication and interaction with children are also a process of Xiao Feng’s learning. Xiao Feng cherishes every opportunity and enjoys the joy of being with the children.

Sometimes, Xu Mengyao is a little jealous. Her husband obviously spends more time with her children than she does, but her relationship with them is better. However, seeing that her husband and children, especially Nini, Xu Mengyao's worries disappear without a trace.

After the children all went to bed, Xiao Feng returned to the master bedroom and sent a scarf, saying good night to fans in China. Today's "Road 1" trip ended successfully!

Xiao Feng's video and live broadcast of "Road One" trip has also created a new interactive mode, which has undoubtedly had a huge impact on the Chinese Internet, and many forms of innovative models have been opened.

Xiao Feng once again led the trend unknowingly! (~^~)
Chapter completed!
