Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 712 Teach Xiaodie how to make money!
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the county seat. Li Yi did not go back to meet Jiang Xue and the others. Instead, he asked Xiao Zhan to drive the car to the state-owned hotel.

Then a few people had a quick bite at the restaurant before returning to the guest house.

Sure enough, Jiang Xue and her mother-in-law were not at the guest house. They must have gone to Qiao Chunfang's home as guests.

Fortunately, Li Yi knew the address of Qiao Chunfang's home. After a brief discussion with Zhang Ziqiang, the two decided to immediately go to Qiao Chunfang's home to find Jiang Xue and Ye Lingyun.

When they arrived at the courtyard of the cotton spinning factory and knocked on the door of Qiao's house, they saw Jiang Xue, her mother-in-law and others all there.

And it looked like they had just finished eating, and several women in the room were clearing away the leftovers on the table!
After a few simple greetings, Li Yi sat down in the room.

After cleaning up the dining area, the few of them chatted for a while, and then Jiang Xue suggested going to the cinema to watch a movie.

To be honest, she really wanted to see how good the movie that her man had highly praised and recommended was.

Qiao Chunfang and Ye Lingyun also chatted for most of the morning, plus one noon, and there were not as many topics to talk about as before.

After hearing Jiang Xue's proposal, both of them expressed interest.

Afterwards, the group simply packed up and headed straight to the cinema.

The cinema was still the same as the previous few days, very crowded, and the queue to buy tickets was at least 200 meters long.

While Yang Zhiwen was waiting in line to buy tickets, Li Yi searched at the entrance of the cinema.

Soon, a thin figure appeared in Li Yi's sight, it was Xiaodie.

At that moment, he took Zhang Ziqiang and walked over!
As soon as she came over, Xiaodie also saw Li Yi, and immediately waved happily: "Brother Li Yi!"

"Are you here to sell melon seeds again?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

"Ok!"

"Has anyone bullied you these days?"

"No, since San Leizi was caught, everyone else has been frightened. No one dares to bully me!" Xiaodie said happily.

"That's good!"

"By the way, brother Li Yi, Xiaoya's mother is really real."

Li Yi nodded, sighed and said: "It's true, but Xiaoya and her sisters have been adopted by Captain Xiao of the Public Security Bureau, so they have someone to rely on!"

Tears welled up in Xiaodie's eyes, but the little girl refused to cry.

Li Yi saw this and touched her little head.

"Don't cry!"

Then Li Yi changed the subject and said: "How is business these days? Can you make money selling melon seeds?"

Xiaodie nodded and said, "It's not bad. Although there are a lot of people selling melon seeds and peanuts, there are also a lot of people watching movies these days. I can still earn two yuan a day!"

Two yuan a day is indeed a lot, but Li Yi knows that a situation like this will not last long.

After all, when the popularity of "Shaolin Temple" passes, there will not be so many people in the cinema. Without the crowds, Xiaodie and the others will make less money from selling melon seeds and peanuts.

Thinking of this, Li Yi suddenly said: "Xiaodie, I have a way to make money quickly. Do you want to learn it?"

"Yes!" the little girl said firmly.

"Hey, you said you want to learn without even listening to me. Aren't you afraid that you won't make money if you learn?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

"Brother Dalong said that you are a capable and good man. I believe in brother Dalong and I also believe in brother Li Yi!" Xiaodie said.

Li Yi was still very satisfied with the little girl's answer.

At the moment, he asked Xiaodie to wait at the door, and then took Zhang Ziqiang to the cinema.

The two came to the office of the person in charge of the cinema. After Zhang Ziqiang showed his ID, they asked for a few promotional posters of Shaolin Temple, and then left with a puzzled expression on the person in charge of the cinema.

Back outside, Li Yi handed the cloth bag in Xiaodie's hand to Zhang Feng to look at, and he turned around to leave with Zhang Ziqiang and Xiaodie.

When Jiang Xue saw this, although she didn't know what Li Yi was going to do, she followed him with interest, leaving only Ye Lingyun, Qiao Chunfang and others waiting there.

It is said that after Li Yi and others left the cinema, they went straight to the photo studio in the county town.

These days are neither outdated nor festive. Except for a master craftsman and an apprentice, there is not a single customer in the photo studio.

Seeing Li Yi and others coming in, the old master immediately raised his head and said, "Comrade, who of you will take the photo?"

Li Yi put the poster on the table and said, "Give it!"

The old master was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "Young student, are you really going to take a photo for this pictorial? It's not cheap to take a photo here!"

"how much is it?"

"5 hairs!"

"Then if I want to wash 100 sheets, can you always make it cheaper?" Li Yi said.

"How much more?" Li Yi pointed to a few promotional posters in his hand and said: "You can print a hundred of each of these pictorials for us, a total of three hundred. How much do you think is appropriate for one?"

The master of the photo studio thought for a moment, and then said: "If you really want 300 photos, I can give you 4 cents each!"

"2 hairs!"

"Twenty-five cents at most, I won't pay a penny for more!" Li Yi said.

"Okay, two and a half cents, just two and a half cents, but you have to pay first!" said the old master.

"Yes, but you have to take what I say, and I have to see 300 photos tomorrow morning. Can you do it?" Li Yi said.

"can!"

"Then let's get started!"

"it is good!"

Then the old master took out his camera, followed Li Yi's instructions, and started taking pictures.

Soon, the movie's promotional posters and personal photos of the male and female protagonists were taken.

At the moment, Li Yi asked the master to wash out one piece immediately to see the effect.

Naturally, the old master would not neglect the words of a big customer like him, and quickly started to wash it off.

In less than half an hour, three postcard-sized photos were developed.

After getting the photo, Li Yi saw that the photo was very clear. In addition, he processed the poster and wrote some artistic words on it, and the result was very good.

"Wow, what a beautiful photo!" Jiang Xue said in awe.

Li Yi smiled and said to the master of the photo studio: "At the price of 2 cents per photo, you will develop 300 photos for me. Can you develop them tomorrow?"

"Each piece is 300 copies, so there are 900 pieces in total. Are you sure you want so many?" the master asked in surprise.

"Sure, but you must ensure that these photos can only be washed by this little girl alone, okay!" Li Yi pointed at Xiaodie and said,

"Can you!"

Li Yi took out 225 yuan and handed it to the master. After taking the receipt and agreeing on a time to pick up the photos, they left the photo studio.

After coming out of the photo studio, Xiaodie looked at Li Yi and asked: "Brother Li Yi, didn't you say you wanted to teach him how to make money?"

"Haha, let's go back to the cinema and teach you how to make money!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Ok!"

At this time Jiang Xue came back to her senses and said with some surprise: "You don't want to teach Xiaodie to sell photos, do you?"

"Daughter-in-law, you are really smart, you have guessed all this!" Li Yi said with a smile.

Jiang Xue's face turned red, and then she said, "This photo is not mine. Does anyone want it?"

"Haha, you will know if anyone wants to wait a while!"

With that said, Li Yi led a few people and walked quickly towards the cinema.

When they came back, the movie ended and a large number of people walked out of the cinema!

At the same time, many people walked into the cinema from the entrance on the other side. The two groups of people were clearly distinct and orderly!
At this time, Li Yi came to the exit and took out three photos.

Then, in the stunned eyes of Jiang Xue and others, Li Yi suddenly shouted: "Personal portrait photos of the male and female protagonists of Shaolin Temple, with artistic signatures. If you like it, hurry up and come over!"

With this shout, he quickly attracted the attention of several young men and women, and they immediately came over.

When several people saw the "photo photo" in Li Yi's hand, little stars flashed in their eyes.

Soon a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old asked: "Comrade, how much does this photo of you cost?"

"One dollar a piece!"

"One dollar, so expensive?"

"Girl, this is an art photo, and it also has the male and female protagonist's artistic signature. It's really not expensive for a dollar each. Moreover, this is their earliest batch of art photos, so it's very collectible."

Being deceived by Li Yi, the little girl was immediately moved. After a moment's hesitation, she took out a dollar and said, "I want this!"

"it is good!"

"Give me one of the leading actor, too."

"Sorry, I only have one set today. Come over tomorrow!"

"You will really come over tomorrow, aren't you lying?"

"For sure, people from the Dragon Kingdom don't lie to people from the Dragon Kingdom."

Jiang Xue, Xiaodie and others on the side were all dumbfounded when they saw that Li Yi sold each photo for 2 cents for one yuan with just a few words.
