Chapter 115 Cloth on the cabinet, ready to do a big job(1/2)
On the day when the Sichen dolls were full moon, they specially invited a master from a photo studio in the city to take some photos.
This morning, he came to pick up the photo with the ticket issued by his master at that time.
These days, there is only one photo studio in Yuanmeng County.
It was contracted privately, under the name of the county cinema.
The master who took the photo was a retired cinema projectionist.
There is no way, the times are limited.
In Yuanmeng County in this era, if you want to do something, you must either do it under the name of a public unit, or do it secretly.
If you do it secretly and get caught, that is speculation.
The door of the photo studio still has a wooden plaque. In the eyes of Si Chen, a reborn person, it looks very retro and artistic.
The two doors are also made of wood, painted green, with a section of glass on top, and the insides are covered with various photos for display.
After Si Chen entered the door, he shouted: "Master, let me get a photo!"
The master who was developing film in the darkroom at the back quickly called out: "Hey, there you are!"
After the master carefully lifted the curtain and came out, he saw it was Si Chen and greeted with a smile:
"Young man, are you here? Did you take a photo of the twins under the full moon?"
"Well, please excuse me."
"What's here? It's already been washed. Let me look for it for you."
The master said, taking down the developed photos one by one from the wall where the photos were hanging.
"Young man, your dolls are really good-looking, just like the ones in the paintings back then."
The master praised happily, handed the photo to Si Chen, and said:
"Ten five-inch sheets cost thirty cents each; two eight-inch sheets cost seventy cents each."
"Okay, thank you!" Si Chen took it and handed him a big solidarity note.
The master was obviously stunned, hesitated for a moment, and took the money.
Si Chen noticed it and guessed why, because he didn't bargain.
Most people will bargain, even if it's a penny or two less, they'll be happy.
This is a kind of taking advantage of the mentality, most people are like this, enjoy this feeling.
The master went to the money box to find change and said tentatively:
"Young man, I can give you a cheaper price for these photos of yours."
There is no free lunch in the world. Si Chen said nothing and waited quietly for the master to say more.
The master slowly took out the change one by one from the money box and said:
"I see, photos of twins are quite rare. Can I hang these photos of yours to attract customers?"
In fact, this photographer is already very good.
Some photo studios don't even say hello, they just take the film, develop it, and then hang it out for you to make a sample.
There is no such thing as privacy these days, and most people don’t care about their photos being displayed.
After all, when you take it home, you also want to put it on a photo frame for others to view.
But Sichen's family is a bit special. In recent years, grandma has not allowed family portraits to be displayed.
The master said that these photos should be hung up, but Si Chen would never agree.
"Whatever price it should be, you charge whatever price it should be." Si Chen declined politely.
The master understood and changed money faster.
Si Chen thought of something and said, "Master, give me the film!"
The master's hand stiffened as he handed over the money.
There were no digital cameras these days, so everything was developed using film.
Without the film, the master is cut off from the possibility of developing it himself.
"Hey, okay!" The master turned around and went to get the film.
The dark brown film is a long and narrow strip, only about an inch wide.
After the master took it out, he roughly identified it and cut out his pieces for Si Chen.
"Here, these are your negatives."
The master was very honest and cut out all 16 negatives of 12 photos for Si Chen.
Among them, there should be some photos that were not taken, and the developed photos given by the master were selected.
"Thank you, sorry to trouble you." Si Chen said goodbye to the master politely.
“No trouble, thanks for visiting!”
…
Si Chen came to the second floor. His family members were all helping to load the goods. A group of people said:
Si Xuemei, Si Chong, Wan Hong, Si Letian, Si Xiaoxiao, Tang Linlang, Si Kui.
Everyone took care of Yan Lixia's health and felt that she had not recovered well from the caesarean section and could not carry heavy objects.
Therefore, she went to the first floor to guard the counter.
Mao Yuanchao and his little brothers also shouted and helped to carry the cloth to the second floor.
It was so lively for a while!
Sun Sancai removed her counters, so naturally Si Chen rented her Bajie counter.
Yan Lixia went to Sili Ge's office early in the morning to complete the procedures.
At this moment, the women are helping to stock the shoe cabinets, and the boys are carrying fabrics to the original ten-section counter.
Silige stood in front of the counter, holding one hand on her lower back and raising the other hand, instructing everyone how to arrange the cloth:
"The silk and satin display is in the front. Oh, yes, it's this 'dragon and phoenix in auspiciousness'!"
"'Flowers Blooming Wealth' is placed next to it, and the pink 'Peach Blossoms Make Spring' is placed a little behind." www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm
“The lake blue ‘Mandarin Ducks Playing in the Water’ are placed next to each other!”
"Next to it are the green 'Two Dragons Playing with Pearls', the yellow 'Lucky' and the purple 'Joyful'!"
"Hey, yes, Yuan Chao is right, you guys are awesome!"
"Sichong! Where are the tendons? The boss is old and has tendons all over his body. Why don't you use them and keep them? Stew them for the Chinese New Year?!"
"Auntie, I came back with my mother for the summer vacation. Why are you treating me like a beast?"
Si Chong held on to the counter and gasped.
Sili Ge glanced sideways at him and said with a smile:
"Hey, are you a distinguished guest? How about you come here to give instructions and I'll carry the cloth?"
Si Chong got excited, turned around and walked away, muttering:
"Then forget it. If you let me rest while you work, my mother will beat me to death with a feather duster!"
When Sili Ge lived at her eldest sister's house, Sichong had to sleep on the sofa in the living room.
In daily housework, he was also controlled by Sili Ge.
well!
There is no way to escape the fate of being dominated!
Si Chen came over with a smile and joked:
"Hey! Is Boss Li Ge busy?"
"I have an eldest nephew who just wants to lie down and collect money. Shouldn't I worry more?"
It made Si Chen laugh.
Silige glanced at him sideways and said:
"Don't be silly. It's a hot day. Go downstairs and buy popsicles for everyone. You have to be a good person!"
"Okay, okay, I have to be a boss who can lead a team, otherwise I will be the one who is exhausted."
Si Chen laughed and turned to leave, leaving behind a sentence:
"Go on, go downstairs and take care of my seventh aunt's popsicle business!"
Silige was so angry that she rolled her eyes and said:
"I'm selling all the ice cream in the freezer at your fingertips! Big boss!"
