Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 186 Siege
After shopping for Mao Chunhua and Xiao Zhuer, only He Ping's own things were left. He Ping turned his attention to the camera counter.

Almost all domestic cameras in this era can be found on this counter. He Ping looked at them one by one, Seagull, Pearl River, Dongfeng, Phoenix, Friendship, Taihu...

The camera full of mechanical textures was placed there, making it difficult for him to make a choice for a while.

But He Ping was in a dilemma for a moment before he decided which camera he should buy. People who are not short of money only choose the expensive one, not the right one.

He said to the salesperson: "Comrade, what is the most expensive camera here?"

The salesperson saw it, hehe, a big customer came.

"You can take a look at this Seagull DF model, which is the first self-developed SLR camera in my country. Its design was inspired by Minolta SR-7, and it took three years to develop successfully. It has been sold for ten years now. The sales volume in the country is far ahead of other cameras, and it is also exported to Britain, America, Frankfurt and other countries.”

He Ping, a layman, doesn't know what a SLR camera is. He bought a camera purely to take some photos to record himself and the changes of the times.Since you don’t understand, you must choose the most expensive one. After all, you get what you pay for, and it’s better to buy something expensive than a pit.

"Then come to this station."

Seeing that He Ping bought the camera without any hesitation, the salesperson thought that this is really a big shop, and started selling camera film to He Ping without even asking the price.

These days, having a camera is quite a luxury in itself, and being able to take pictures and develop photos is even more so among local tyrants.

"Our film is the most complete. You can choose the one you like. This is Lucky, 12 yuan a roll. This is Fuda, 13 cents and 8 cents a roll. This is Konica, a roll of 17 yuan. A roll of 5 yuan and 19 cents; this is Fuji brand, a roll of 8 yuan and 20 cents, and this Kodak, a roll of 5 yuan and [-] cents.”

When He Ping heard it, good guy, a roll of film is worth a month's wages of a young worker, and that's not counting the cost of developing.

It seems that photography is a hobby that burns money no matter what age it is!
If you don't know what to do when you buy something, of course you should choose the most expensive one.

"Then give me Kodak's, ten volumes first."

He Ping knows that his current behavior is a bit like a nouveau riche, but compared to giving people the feeling of a nouveau riche, he is more afraid of trouble, buying more at one time, and always running around when the savings are used up.

The big eyes who followed He Ping looked a little silly this time. When He Ping bought cosmetics, clothes and guitars just now, he didn’t blink. this kind of place.

But He Ping's performance when buying cameras and film really made him speechless. He has seen someone who is not short of money, but he has never seen such a good money. At least at the current stage of Big Eyes' life, he has never met someone more wealthy than He Ping. customer.

Sometimes this matter does not lie in the amount of purchases, but in the invisible momentum. When he heard that He Ping bought ten rolls of film as if he wanted ten cabbages, the shock in his heart could not even be described in words.

Putting away his shock, his big eyes admired his eyesight more and more. When he was at the cosmetics counter, he saw He Ping's hand stretching into his arms at a glance. With the eyesight he had cultivated in the No. [-] department store in the past few years, this must be true. It's a big fat sheep.

Sure enough, He Ping's follow-up operations proved this point.

Today's anger is not in vain, tiredness is not in vain.You country bumpkin, just wait for me and see how I will deal with you later.

He Ping wouldn't know Big Eye's inner monologue, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, who is not a house sparrow anymore.

A camera cost He Pingping 500 yuan, and ten rolls of film cost 205 yuan.Adding the money spent on clothes, cosmetics and guitar just now, He Ping's money has bottomed out.

He Ping touched the remaining 300 yuan in his pocket, thinking that he should save some money, and would not buy a watch for the time being.There was a little ghost by his side, and he took the tickets from him. Although He Ping saw through this kid's tricks, he didn't intend to trick him.He is not a judge, and he is not qualified to use lynching to try.

"Come on, I've bought almost everything today, and it's time to settle your bill." He Ping said.

Seeing that He Ping was about to leave, Big Eyes said seductively, "Brother, didn't you say you still want to buy a watch? Why didn't you buy it? Is it because you don't have enough money? I have a bargain, do you want it?"

He Ping saw that this kid was still ruthless, so he deliberately teased him, "Really, that's great. Did you bring it with you?"

The little boy pretended to be annoyed and said: "I still carried it with me two days ago, and I put it away because no one bought it. How about this, brother, why don't you go pick it up with me? I'll charge you a cost price .”

"I'm too lazy to go. It's too heavy to carry so many things. Go and fetch them for me."

This fat sheep is quite vigilant, since it can't be clear, it can only come in the dark, so it's better to set up some points first.

The big eyes hesitated, "That's fine, I'll pick it up for you, but you haven't given me the ticket money yet."

He Ping smiled and said, "Can you still miss that little money? Tell me, how much are these tickets?"

The big eyes counted with their fingers: "The camera ticket is 250 yuan, the film ticket is 5 yuan..., a total of 360 yuan and [-] cents."

He Ping counted the money in his pocket and found that after paying for the ticket, there was only one yuan and two dollars left in his pocket, which was enough money for a small boy.

Big eyes stuffed the money into his pocket, still hesitating a bit, he was afraid that the big fat sheep would run away, "Then brother, wait for me here for a while, I'll be right back."

"Don't worry, I'm here waiting for you."

The big eyes ran out of the department store with quick steps.

He Ping looked at his back and laughed kindly, he was still young and short-handed.

He left the department store with his things in his hand, and was about to go to the street to take a taxi, when he noticed a crowd of people not far away, with shouts coming from there from time to time.

He leaned over curiously, because he was holding something in both hands, so he didn't dare to squeeze in hard, only to hear the people around the outer circle shouting "Zhou Yun, Zhou Yun".

Understood!It's that silly girl who was in the car with me just now.

"Zhou Yun" is the name of the character played by Zhang Yu in "Love in Lushan Mountain". It seems that he was recognized and surrounded by others.

He really deserves to be a popular movie star, this scene is not inferior to those popular stars in later generations, He Ping thought to himself.

After a while, I heard Zhou Yun's voice getting louder and louder, and the crowd of onlookers gathered more and more, and the crowd was surging like a wave.

He Ping began to worry a little. Although he had never experienced the stampede|stamped|stampede|accident|accident|accident on the Bund in later generations, he was on a business trip in Shanghai that day, and he would be afraid when he thought about it.

It can't be like this, you have to think of a way.
