Chapter 201: Looking at the Sea and Not Seeing the Sea
When Li Liang came to Pengcheng in his last life, it was a few years later. At that time, Uncle Xiao had graduated and had been assigned to work in a unit in Pengcheng, and at that time, Xiaomeisha had already begun to develop.
And Xiaomeisha's current situation, Li Liang really doesn't understand.
When Li Shuangyuan came to Pengcheng to work during the winter and summer vacations last year, he basically turned around in the factory and didn't go outside to play much. Therefore, everyone followed Master Liu's advice and went to Qianhai to see the sea first.
Qianhai is located in the west of the current Pengcheng City, at the mouth of the Pearl River, and is now also desolate. When the car drove over, all I saw was the tidal flats by the sea, which was very desolate.
There are not many people who can sit in the car, and Li Meng, Li Liang and Li Yin, Li Hao and Li Shuangyuan are seated in the car. Li Shuangyuan sat in the co-pilot, and the four Li Liang brothers and sisters were squeezed into the back seat.
Fortunately, there are not a few traffic police on the streets of Pengcheng now, and even if there are, no one has gone back to check the overload of the car.
Master Xiao Liu is the oldest person in the car, and everyone calls him Brother Liu.
"Brother Liu, why does this place look so desolate!" asked Li Shuangyuan.
Brother Liu said with a smile: "This place is close to the sea, there are some mangroves and seaside tidal flats, and the production of food is poor, usually only fishermen who live by the sea will go there to catch the sea, dig some clams, sand silkworms, catch some crabs or something to supplement the family." We locals don't usually come here to see the sea. ”
"Oh!" Li Hao was a little disappointed.
Brother Liu knew that everyone was a little disappointed, so he smiled and said, "Tomorrow I will take you to Xiaomeisha, where the sea is beautiful." Not only is the beach beautiful, the water is clear, and if you're lucky, you'll be able to pick up a lot of beautiful shells!"
"That's great!" everyone was excited.
"By the way, you don't have a camera, do you want me to borrow one for you?" Brother Liu took the initiative to say.
"Great, Brother Liu, how much is it, we will give the money!" Li Liang asked happily.
This time, Li Liang's biggest regret is that he has no equipment to take pictures, and he can't keep the beautiful moments of the trip.
"The camera is free, and that's a friend of mine. But you'll have to pay for the film. Do you want color or black-and-white film?" asked Brother Liu.
"Just black and white!" this is Li Shuangdong's voice.
"Colorful!" this is Li Liang's voice.
"I want to take a color photo!" was Li Hao's voice.
2:1, in the end, Li Liang and Li Hao's opinions prevailed, so choose color film.
"Brother Liu, how many photos can be taken on a roll of color film, is it Kodak's?" asked Li Liang.
Brother Liu was a little surprised that Li Liang would know the term Kodak.
He asked with interest, "Ryoko, have you ever used Kodak film?"
"No, but I've seen it in the newspapers! Aren't the best films all Kodak's?" Li Liang said.
"There are other brands, but the quality of Kodak is really good. A roll of ordinary Kodak color film is 20 pieces, and you can take 36 photos!" Brother Liu continued.
"Ah, it's so expensive!" Li Meng said in surprise.
Li Meng's current salary is only more than 20 yuan a month, and a roll of ordinary Kodak color film costs 20 yuan, which is almost equivalent to her monthly salary.
"Yes, who says it isn't, so I plan to wait for Xiaomeisha and other places to be developed in the future, and I will open a photo studio near there to take pictures of tourists like you!" Brother Liu said with a business mind.
Brother Liu's words reminded Li Liang that the state-run photo studio on the streets of Hekang County now seems to be able to only take black and white photos. As far back as I can remember, it seems that it will be another two years before this state-run photo studio will introduce color cameras to take color photos.
If you go back and open a photo studio now, you will definitely be able to make money. However, at present, I don't have the time and energy to do this work, but I can encourage my sister to do this work when the time comes.
In the original memory, my sister would encounter the unspeakable pain and changes in her life in two or three years, making her originally harmonious and happy family miserable and broken.
If she can let her sister Li Meng change her career in advance and give up the nurse profession, even if she can't make money, as long as she can change her fate, it will be an excellent thing.
Li Liang secretly hid this thought in his heart, and was ready to find an opportunity to create conditions to convince his sister.
"Brother Liu, then please prepare three rolls of color film for me first!" Li Liang said.
"So many?" Brother Liu was a little surprised.
Because of the nature of his work, he has also received other guests from the mainland, such as Li Liang's family, but they usually need a maximum of one roll of film, and they often run out.
After all, 20 yuan is only the price of a roll of film, and this does not include the cost of post-processing photos.
"Liangzi, isn't it too much, we want a roll!" Li Shuangyuan said.
Li Meng, the sister on the side, also said: "Yes, Liangzi, there are too many, where did we use so many films!"
Li Liangxin secretly laughed in his heart, this is a camera phone that Li Meng and Uncle have never seen in later generations. In later generations, everyone had a mobile phone, and when they went out to travel, everyone took pictures casually. When you go out for a trip, your mobile phone doesn't store a lot of photos, and some photographers even want to use up the memory in their hands.
Li Liang smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Liu will help us prepare three volumes first, it doesn't matter if we can't use them up." If you don't have enough, you won't be able to find a place to buy it temporarily. ”
Brother Liu also agreed and said: "Yes, it doesn't matter if you can't use it." That friend of mine usually takes pictures of others, and you don't waste it if you use as much as you want!"
In this way, Brother Liu drove the car, pulled Li Liang and others out of the factory and walked around the beach, without even getting out of the car, just looked at the sea from a distance, breathed the smell of the sea through the car window, and returned to the mechanical factory.
Back in the factory, Li Liang invited Brother Liu to have dinner together in the evening, but Brother Liu refused. He's a local, and the food in the factory cafeteria is mediocre, and he usually goes home in the evenings to eat, and he has to hurry up to borrow a camera from friends and prepare film.
Li Chengxi and his eldest son Li Shuangyi chatted in the assigned room, and when they saw the children returning to the room, they hurriedly beckoned everyone into the room to drink tea and blow a fan to cool off.
"Haohao, Yinyin, how is it, do you see the sea?" asked Li Chengxi with a smile.
"See!" Li Hao grunted and drank a large cup of cold white.
"Is the beach fun?" asked Li Shuangzhu.
"It's not fun, we didn't get off the sea we went to today, we just looked at it from a distance!" Li Hao continued with anticipation, "Brother Liu said that tomorrow he will take us to a place called Xiaomeisha to see the sea, saying that the sea there is the most beautiful, and we can also pick up shells!"
