Chapter 78 Seagull

Jia Yi bypassed the crowd and went straight to the camera counter.

He looked around, not to mention, there were quite a lot of types of cameras here, and he got closer and took a closer look.

"Well…"

You wouldn’t know it if you didn’t look at it, but you’d be surprised to know that most of the cameras here are made in China.

Seagull, Purple Mountain, Dongfang Brand, BJ Brand...

Jia Yi never knew before that there were so many camera brands in China at this time.

Probably because none of them were very famous, he had no choice but to choose a Seagull brand camera that he had heard of in his previous life.

"Uncle, can you take out that seagull camera and show it to me?"

"Kid, you can't play with this casually. It's very expensive. If it gets damaged, you can't afford to pay for it."

The salesperson saw that it was a child who wanted to look at the camera, and there was no adult around.

He thought to himself that he couldn't take it out casually, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford compensation if it got damaged.

"Uncle, I will be careful. I will take a look. If it looks good, I will buy one."

"Well, just look at it like this, don't pick it up."

The salesperson saw that Jia Yi was sincere and didn't look like he was here to cause trouble, so he put the camera on the counter.

"Uncle, can you bring me the manual and show it to me?"

Just by looking at the appearance, Jia Yi could only tell that this was a folding camera. It was compact and easy to carry, but there was not much else to tell. It was a pity that he was not allowed to get started.

In fact, even if you give him a camera, it will be useless. In later generations, everyone will use mobile phones to take pictures. He is neither engaged in related work nor a photography enthusiast, so he knows nothing about cameras.

Holding the instruction manual, Jia Yi knew that this was a Seagull 203 camera, a purely domestic brand.

As for the detailed parameters behind it, to be honest, he really couldn't understand it, but it shouldn't be difficult to understand the operation process. The difficult thing is that after taking the photo, it has to be washed out.

Jia Yi was a little disappointed. He didn't know when he would be able to buy Polaroids. It would be so convenient, unlike now, when taking photos is still a lot of trouble.

"Uncle, how much does this one cost?"

The salesperson glanced at Jia Yi in surprise, this guy really wanted to buy it.

"Eighty-five yuan, you...do you have a ticket?"

Seeing the small stack of unity that Jia Yi took out, the salesperson quickly changed his mind.

"have."

"How do you sell film?"

"This genuine 120 film costs 4.56 cents a roll. This one costs 2.50 cents, and this one costs 1.50 cents."

Jia Yi was shocked, is film so expensive now?

"Ahem, there are thirty-six genuine ones, and the cheapest one is twenty-four."

Jia Yi was speechless for a moment. The price of the combined camera was not bad, but the film was where they made the most money.

Forget it, he should save his time on taking pictures in the future.

"Uncle, give me ten rolls of the cheapest ones, and then ten rolls of genuine ones."

Then Jia Yi bought developer water and fixer under the surprised look of the salesperson...

To complete such a set, he spent two hundred yuan. Looking back at the price of the camera, he found it was really not expensive. Alas...

After thinking about it, Jia Yi was still unwilling to give up. He took out the instruction manual and read it carefully. Then he asked the salesperson for guidance, took a picture, took out the film and looked at it. It was still OK.

Now he finally felt balanced.

After putting all the things in his schoolbag, he turned around and was taken to the Taoyuan warehouse. There were so many people here, what if it was crowded? He bought these for two hundred yuan.

Jia Yi returned to the watch counter. There were finally fewer people there. When he looked carefully, He Yuzhu had also squeezed in.

"You brat, just run around and say, what did you do just now?"

"Hey, I'm going to buy some good things."

"Really? Take it out and show it to me to see what good things you can buy."

Qin Huairu knew that her son had money and tickets, and she ran away alone just now. He must have wanted to buy something, but she didn't know what could make her son so happy.

"I can't do it now. I'll tell you when I get back."

Jia Yi ignored the expectant looks of the four women. Now was not the time to show off. When he got home, he would take a few photos for everyone and practice his skills at the same time. He was also known as a guinea pig as the saying goes.

When Jia Yi thought of this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Brother, don't laugh like that, I'm a little scared."

Jia Yi had black lines on his head, he quickly made a serious face and rubbed the little Sophora japonica's little head vigorously.

What the hell is this kid talking about?

The little Sophora japonica escaped from Jia Yi's clutches in a flash, rushed to Qin Huairu, hugged her mother's thigh, and glanced at Jia Yi provocatively.

"Okay, stop making trouble, why haven't you, Uncle He, taken a fancy to it yet? Is he rich?"

Jia Yi glanced at Qin Huairu strangely and complained in his heart: Although his salary is given to you, he has a lot of extra money, so it is really wishful thinking for you to want to take away his small treasury.

"Huairu, let's go."

"Here we come, keep an eye on it."

"Well, I'm going to buy Yuyu a watch as a dowry."

Qin Huairu was silent, feeling a little uncomfortable, but looking at her son and thinking of the bicycle given to her, she felt relieved.

"Okay, you can keep your salary for yourself from now on. It will be enough for you to get married in Yuyu. But the industrial vouchers..."

"hey-hey…"

The two of them suddenly looked at Jia Yi.

What Jia Yi could do was to agree to prepare industrial coupons.

Uncle He was very happy now. He didn't expect Qin Huairu to agree. He secretly decided to talk to Jia Yi in private.

Walking out of the department store, He Yuzhu happily hugged his bag. Inside was a bottle of Maotai and a box of Zhonghua. These were the high-end goods he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Mom, we finally came out today. Let's find a restaurant nearby to eat and go shopping in the afternoon."

The three girls, Xiaohui, were obviously moved. If they go back now, they won't be bored again in the afternoon.

"That's right, Huai Ru, let's find a place to eat now. It's a rare occasion to come out. Let's have fun today."

Qin Huairu was also very excited. She also wanted to relax. She used to hang around her mother-in-law and children at home, but this time she finally went out to play, and she wanted to have a lot of fun.

"Okay, let's go eat now."

"Let's go to a restaurant."

The two little sisters clapped their hands happily. This was their first time going to a restaurant, so of course they were happy.

"Brother, come here and take a look."

Xiaodang had sharp eyes and soon saw a big hotel.

"This one doesn't work, let's find another one."

"Why not? As long as it's a restaurant, you can eat..."

He Yuzhu turned his head as he spoke, and froze when he saw the building.

"Zhuzi, what's wrong?"

Qin Huairu came over with the little Sophora japonica in her arms. The little one was tired from walking and couldn't walk any more, so she had to find her mother to hold her.

"Ahem, let's go this way. I remember there is a restaurant not far from here."

He Yuzhu said, pulling Qin Huairu and turning around to leave. Looking at Qin Huairu's puzzled look, he had no choice but to say.

"Xiaodang just meant BJ Hotel."

"Well…"

Qin Huairu didn't know what to say. BJ Hotel was already the best hotel in China, and it was entirely dependent on it to receive foreign guests.

There are many rules here, and it is really not a place where Jia Yi and others can go.

"That's it."

Uncle He took everyone to an ordinary state-owned hotel. Although it was not comparable to BJ Hotel, it was still pretty good.

Qin Huairu handed over money, food stamps, and meat stamps. Today, there are two big steamed buns per person, a portion of Dongpo pork, and a few stir-fried vegetables. The dishes are not expensive, but the one they gave her really makes her heartache.

Jia Yi tasted it carefully and found that his cooking skills were average. Not to mention compared with He Yuzhu, even he couldn't compare. This was without using Taoyuan ingredients.

"Huh…"

Several people tasted it and frowned.

Jia Yi saw that the situation was not good. This was in a store, so it was better not to say anything. After all, trouble comes from the mouth.
