Shenhao with a learning panel

Li Shi looked at Zhuang Jiang who was jumping and waving. Although he was a little surprised, he didn't think much of it. After all, Lianhuazhuang was a tourist attraction before, and so was the ancient town here. It was normal to meet him occasionally.

He drove inside.

When passing by the other party, another loud voice came: "Teacher Li, the empty parking space is on the left!"

Seeing how enthusiastic the other person was, Li Shi also waved and greeted them.

After entering the garage and turning left, he quickly found an empty space, backed into the garage, parked the car, and used his cell phone to call the owner of the booked B&B. He had already called the owner once in the car before, and after the other party learned that Li Shi and his friends had parked the car in this small parking lot, he said he would come right over.

The housekeeper was very efficient. When Li Shi, Wu Yuan and He Yaru came out of the parking lot pushing two suitcases, they saw a man in work clothes trotting over in a hurry. Seeing Zhuang Jiang waiting outside the entrance, he stopped and said a few words, then he glanced at the three people coming out and hurried over.

The temperature in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been rising recently, with daytime temperatures reaching 26 or 27 degrees Celsius. In addition, the sun was shining brightly today, so when the young man ran closer, Li Shi discovered that he was already sweating profusely.

It's not easy for workers. Li Shi saw this and when the other party wanted to help with the suitcase, he said, "No, these are all very light items. I can carry them myself."

However, the other party insisted on helping, saying it was his duty. Li Shi did not hesitate and gave him a box.

The young B&B manager took the box and immediately felt how heavy it was when he pushed it.

He couldn't help but look at the young guest in front of him. He had seen him pushing the box so easily before and really thought it was very light - this guest looked quiet and gentle, but he really had great strength.

"Teacher Li, what a coincidence, we meet again." Zhuang Jiang saw someone coming out and waited for a while before greeting him with a smile.

Li Shi also politely replied: "Yes, Teacher Zhuang also came to visit the ancient town."

He was not surprised when the other party called him Teacher Li, as he must have heard Wu Yuan or He Yaru call him that before at Lianhua Manor.

Li Shi simply called him Teacher Zhuang. After all, having been in the photography circle for some time, he knew that this was the way people were addressed in that circle.

"I'm here to collect folk songs and see if I can take some good photos." Zhuang Jiang didn't mention asking Li Shi to be his photography model. Instead, he looked at the B&B manager who followed him and said, "Handsome guy, I haven't booked a place to stay yet. Do you have any vacant rooms in your B&B?"

The young B&B housekeeper didn't expect to receive a wild order when she went out to pick up guests, so she quickly said, "Yes, sir, if you are sure you need it, I will call and reserve a room for you."

Li Shi watched their conversation and said nothing.

Where other people live is their freedom; he has no right to control it and will not control it.

However, because of his previous experience, he was somewhat cautious, thinking, this photographer who is suspected to be G, could it be that he still hasn't given up on asking me to be a model?
After receiving Zhuang Jiang's affirmative answer, the young butler immediately dialed the store's front desk number. However, while he was making the call, he couldn't help but look at the well-mannered guest - he hadn't noticed before, but this strong guest and his two female companions were so beautiful!
As a B&B manager in the ancient town, he has seen many good-looking tourists, but when he thinks about it carefully, it seems that the most beautiful female tourists he has met before are not as beautiful as either of these two.

Moreover, their dress and temperament show that they are rich.

Li Shi noticed the gaze of the B&B manager and knew that he must be surprised by the beauty and temperament of the two women, so he didn't care.

Actually, I'm used to it.

After the call, everyone walked towards the B&B under the guidance of the housekeeper.

Li Shi's first impression of Nanxun Ancient Town was disappointment. From the parking lot he walked all the way to the homestay in the ancient town, he was surrounded by low-rise modern houses that looked old. The roadside was filled with electric vehicles and cars parked in a mess, which looked similar to their hometown town.

When you walk into the area with a bit of ancient flavor, you will find that antique buildings and modern buildings are mixed together. The wall paint has fallen off in many places, and it seems that there are mottled traces left by time everywhere.

As he walked, he felt as if he was walking on the streets of the 1980s and 1990s. When he had completely entered the style of the Jiangnan ancient town, he couldn't help but look back. Standing there, he felt as if he was traveling back and forth.

Looking at the disappointing street from afar, I felt like taking photos and painting.

When everyone saw him suddenly stop and not move, they also stopped.

Wu Yuan asked softly: "Shi Tou, what's wrong?"

The backpack he was carrying had a direct link to his personal space, which contained paper and tools for painting. However, the sun was very strong at the moment, and Li Shi didn't want everyone to wait for him. He let go of the suitcase and took out his phone: "Let me take a picture."

Take photos?
Zhuang Jiang's eyes lit up when he heard that and he immediately moved over.

I thought to myself, here comes my chance, I’ll give him some pointers and let him see how good I am in my profession!
Now we are outdoors under the scorching sun. For most people, it is difficult to take good photos. The photos taken in automatic mode of mobile phone cameras are mediocre. If you use professional mode, you need to know how to adjust various professional parameters.

Ok?
But soon, a look of surprise appeared on Zhuang Jiang's face.

The framing and composition, and the skill with which he adjusted the parameters clearly show that he is not a novice. Although we don't know what the final photo will look like, based on what has been revealed now, this handsome and elegant guy is at least an expert in the photography field!
"Teacher Li is also into photography?" He couldn't help but ask tentatively.

Li Shi didn't look back after hearing that. He followed his previous feeling and quickly took two photos. Then he checked the photos and replied, "I played with it for a while before, but it's definitely not comparable to your professional ones."

He has no modesty.

When he first learned camera photography, he finished at the level of (proficient -). After such a long time, he continued to learn other knowledge and memorize other things. As the saying goes, "the skill lies beyond poetry", especially sketching, painting, calligraphy, etc., his aesthetic quality has been greatly improved. Correspondingly, although he did not study photography specifically, he is aware that his level in this area has also improved.

Currently, I should be at the (Proficient+) level, which is still a long way from the professional level.

"Can I see the photos you took?" Zhuang Jiang asked quickly.

Li Shi hesitated for a moment, but still handed the phone to him.

I thought, at worst I could just use the portable space to “purify” my phone later.

When Zhuang Jiang looked at the photos on his phone, the mottled buildings instantly gave him a sense of "age". He was stunned and couldn't help but secretly praised: "What a strong emotion!"

As an expert, his appreciation of photos is higher than his own photography skills.

Master!
He is used to roughly dividing the quality of photos into three levels from low to high: ordinary photos; very good-looking photos; photos with emotions, atmosphere, and stories.

These two photos taken quickly by Teacher Li are undoubtedly the highest third level!
"With my level, I have to find the feeling and rely on luck to occasionally take photos of this level, but he seemed to be able to do it with just a snap."

Zhuang Jiang returned the phone to Li Shi, and looked at him with a different look in his eyes: "Teacher Li, your photography skills are amazing. Can you teach me a few tricks?"

He is a latecomer to photography, having become fascinated with it after graduating from university. The reason he has reached his current level is not only because he is generous with his money, but also because he is willing to admit that others are better than him and is willing to lower himself to ask for advice from those who are better than him.

Before, calling him "Teacher Li" was just a title, but this time, "Teacher Li" has a bit more sincerity.

Li Shi was a little surprised. He pretended to put his phone in his pocket and said with a smile, "I'm just playing around, but we can exchange techniques if we have the chance."

We continued walking towards the B&B.

Like many other ancient towns, the core area of ​​Nanxun Ancient Town also has a small river flowing slowly through the middle. Lishijin B&B is located by the river and is a B&B rebuilt on the basis of local ancient buildings.

Li Shi and his two companions booked two luxury suites with river views, each costing 1,200 yuan per night.

After checking in, go directly to the second floor.

Li Shi lives in 201, while Wu Yuan and He Yaru live in 202.

They agreed to go out for a stroll in an hour, and then went back to their rooms to take a shower - Nanxun Ancient Town is not very big, and they will leave tomorrow morning, so they have an afternoon and an evening to stroll around, so there is no rush.

Li Shi had just taken a shower and changed his clothes when he heard someone ringing the doorbell.

He thought it was Wu Yuan, but when he opened it, it turned out to be Zhuang Jiang.

"Teacher Li, I live on this floor too." The photographer, who was very familiar with people, pointed to the fifth room next door and said expectantly, "You said before that I could discuss photography techniques with you. Do you have time now?"

Li Shi felt that he was quite sincere when talking about photography. After thinking for a while, he said, "Wait for me. I'll go get my phone and we can go to the book bar downstairs to chat."

He always looks up to people who are studious and willing to delve into knowledge and skills.

I quickly walked to the bedside, unplugged the power cord, and checked the battery level of my phone, which had just been charged. The 65w fast charging efficiency is very high, and the battery has been charged from 21% to 65%.

He came out quickly with his cell phone, closed the door, and the two of them went to the small bookstore downstairs, each ordered a drink, and started chatting.

"Teacher Li, what do you think about the differences between men and women in portrait photography?"

"I personally think it's not a question of gender, but a question of the theme you want to express..."

The two chatted very professionally.

After forty to fifty minutes of conversation, Zhuang Jiang was deeply impressed by Li Shi's accomplishments in photographic aesthetics.

I sighed in my heart that Mr. Li’s photography skills might be only slightly better than mine, but his aesthetic accomplishment is so profound that any tiny detail, as long as he is willing, can be expanded and extended to aesthetic theory and humanistic philosophy!

And he seems to have an incredible talent - he can easily transform his aesthetic theories into details in his works, just like the two photos he took casually before, which have such strong emotional expression.

He is like a master of essay in photography!
"Teacher Li, you are so talented, and your knowledge and cultivation of aesthetics are so profound and profound. It's a pity that you don't continue to pursue photography!"

Zhuang Jiang sighed very sincerely.

Through chatting with him, Li Shi also realized that as long as he transformed his current accumulation in aesthetics, if he chose to study photography or any other aesthetic-related memory, he would be able to improve rapidly.

This is equivalent to the situation in martial arts novels where people who have already mastered peerless internal skills go to learn martial arts moves and usually learn them right away!
"After I finish learning swimming, I can consider taking up photography and painting. Sculpture is also something I can consider."

His thoughts raced, but he remained calm on the surface: "I don't have time recently, maybe I'll pick it up and study it again in the future. But you're not bad either, I can see that you really like photography, and your skills are very good."

During the conversation, Li Shi showed Li Shi a lot of photos he had taken in the past, including portraits of women, landscapes, humanities, etc., all of which were quite good.

Judging by the panel, his camera photography skills should be at the (Proficient -) level.

In today's society where people like to exaggerate everything, it's completely fine to call him a photographer.

Zhuang Jiang smiled and took the opportunity to say, "I just like this line of work. My family is not short of money, so I gradually became addicted to it. Teacher Li, you don't know that in the past two months, I felt that I had a weakness in male portraits, so I specially..."

He showed a helpless look when he said the last part: "Plus, my actions are sometimes more feminine, so people often misunderstand me as gay, alas."

Li Shi touched his eyebrows with his hand, and covered his embarrassment with a smile: "Then you are really enthusiastic about studying."

Just then, Wu Yuan and He Yaru sent WeChat messages.

He typed a reply and said to Zhuang Jiang, "Let's stop here today. My companions are coming down soon."

Zhuang Jiang quickly said, "Okay, but Teacher Li, can I add you on WeChat?"

He now regards Li Shi as his "teacher".

When speaking, we subconsciously use "you".

Li Shi now also thinks that this young man is quite good, and immediately adds him on WeChat with his mobile phone.

Zhuang Jiang looked at the notification on his phone that his WeChat friend had passed the call and couldn't help but smile. He stopped pestering the other party, stood up, said goodbye politely, and turned around to go back to his room upstairs.

Just as I reached the stairs, I happened to run into Wu Yuan and He Yaru who were coming down.

It was the first time that Zhuang Jiang took a serious look at the two female companions beside Li Shi.

To be honest, after a careful appreciation, these two people made him, a man who is not gay but not particularly interested in women, feel a little moved!

As a photographer, I have a sharp eye for people. These two women, one is charming and plump, with a capable temperament, and the other is dignified and bright, with a noble temperament. They are both the best of the best.

No wonder Teacher Li said he didn't have time.

It's hard to meet such a stunning beauty under normal circumstances. Now he has two around him, indulging in the gentleness of the bride and groom every day, and they are sapping his energy. How can he have the time and energy to do other important things?

When I think of Teacher Li’s unfathomable talent and ability just now.

Zhuang Jiang couldn't help but sigh deeply.

What a pity, what a pity!
……

Li Shi and the two girls came out of the B&B and strolled along the river bank. Not long after they walked, their WeChat rang.

His left arm was held by Wu Yuan, so he could only use his right hand to pick up his phone. He unlocked it and saw that it was from Zhuang Jiang: "Teacher Li, may I ask how long you will stay in Huzhou? As the host, I would like to invite you to my home, and I would also like to ask you for advice."

This person is quite enthusiastic.

Li Shi typed with one hand: "You're welcome. Our schedule is all arranged. We'll go to Taihu Lake tomorrow to try Taihu crabs and then leave."

As soon as the message was sent, Wu Yuan next to him said, "Shitou, let's go out and have fun. Don't keep looking at your phone. Sister Yaru, go hold Shitou's arm!" (End of this chapter)
