He took out all the negatives in the three boxes of film, put them under the magnifier, sensitized them one by one, developed them, and finally took the photos outside.

And so on and so forth.

On average, it takes six or seven minutes to develop a photo. More than 70 photos, that's more than six hours.

The three of them cooperated like this, developed the photo, and had to feel that it was already dawn.

By the time Zhu Xiaohua developed the last photo, the sun was already coming out of the yard.

Downstairs, tourists came to the door one after another.

Xiao Ding took the key and took the lead downstairs to open the door.

Seagull Photo Studio is back in business for a new day.

Two customers who took pictures came to the door and asked when they could pick up the photos. One of them said, "I heard from my cousin that she took a picture in your photo studio last time and got it early the next morning. It's time for our photos from yesterday to come out. ”

Another person knew Xiao Ding, took her hand, and said, "As you told me yesterday, you can get the photo this morning." ”

At times like these, the photos are already in hand and are being distributed to customers.

When Xiao Ding told customers during the day yesterday, he didn't expect that the darkroom in the scenic spot would refuse to take orders.

Xiao Ding said: "Today's photo needs to wait. ”

She beckoned the two customers to sit down, brought the kettle, and made each a cup of tea.

When the customer outside the door heard that he couldn't get the photo yet, he began to complain: "I just said, I have heard a long time ago that there is a problem with the Seagull photo studio, and the photo can't be washed." ”

When other customers heard this, they were anxious and asked, "Is it true, if so, then our money ......?"

Someone asked Xiao Ding: "Is there really a problem with the operation of the photo studio, if you can't get the photos, can you return the money you collected to us?" ”

Xiao Ding asked them to wait, turned around and went upstairs to find Zhu Xiaohua.

On the second floor, Zhu Xiaohua was busy in the darkroom.

Xiaoxia entered the door and told him about the situation downstairs.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "The photos are not dried until dawn, and the ventilation conditions here are still not comparable with those in the scenic spot. Dry these photos, I guess it will be until tonight, or tomorrow during the day.

"You go and tell them to wait another day and come tomorrow morning to get it."

The darkroom was built in a hurry, and many areas left much to be desired.

Xiao Ding looked at the wet photos hanging on the rope and took the order.

After Xiao Ding went downstairs, he told these people the truth.

Someone outside the door shouted: "I'll just say, there must be a business problem." Their negatives were developed in the scenic area, and the scenic spot is not cooperating with them now, so they naturally can't get the photos. ”

"If you can't get the photos today, give us the money back."

"Yes, pay back!"

The tourists who came in a hurry heard that they couldn't take the photos, and immediately shouted, "I returned the money for the photos, and I don't want the photos." ”

Zhu Xiaohua stood on the second floor, listening to the shouting downstairs, and couldn't help frowning.

The three male tourists who shouted had long hair, wore floral shirts, and when they spoke, one leg straddled diagonally, shaking up and down, looking like a hanger.

These people look different from the other tourists who take pictures.

The other tourists only asked for photos at most, but the three kept shouting: "There is a problem with the operation of the Seagull Photo Studio, and they should return the money immediately." ”

Zhu Xiaohua was also a little puzzled, how did the three of them know clearly about his cooperation with the scenic spot.

Zhu Xiaohua was about to go downstairs, when suddenly two middle-aged men strode towards the photo studio. The leader has a big waist and a round waist, combs his back hair, and is burly. Behind him was a young man in his twenties, walking with small steps, jumping and jumping, and walking briskly.

These two people are the leaders of the scenic spot and Dian Sanlu.

The two quickly came to the door of the photo studio, and the leader raised his head, looked at the plaque of the photo studio, and asked inside: "Is your boss here, I'll talk to him about something." ”

Xiao Ding replied: "Yes, I'll call him." ”

Immediately after, there was the sound of Xiao Ding's footsteps entering the courtyard and going upstairs downstairs.

Zhu Xiaohua walked to the corridor on the second floor, met Xiao Ding, and said, "I've seen it all, so I'll go down." ”

Zhu Xiaohua took the lead in going downstairs, returning to the courtyard, and then entering the photo studio through the back door.

Dian Sanlu saw Zhu Xiaohua and took the lead in introducing: "Zhu Xiaohua, this is our leader Mr. Yao, who has seen it before." ”

Zhu Xiaohua nodded, beckoned the two into the house, and asked, "I don't know what to do with me?" ”

Mr. Yao smiled and said, "I won't go in, you're a mess at the door, let's talk about it in another place." ”

Zhu Xiaohua quickly followed.

The three of them crossed the road, went to the opposite sidewalk, and walked another one or two hundred meters east before stopping.

Mr. Yao stood under a locust tree and said, "I came to you today, I think you have already guessed why." ”

Mr. Yao looked at the door of the photo studio.

According to his thoughts, this seagull photo studio is now stuck by the neck, and he can't get the photo, so he will inevitably come to beg him. He was not in a hurry to show his needs, but let Zhu Xiaohua think about it himself.

He waited for Zhu Xiaohua to beg him.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Mr. Yao, we have been working together for so long, why do you say that if you don't wash the photos, you won't wash the photos." Seventy or eighty photos a day, eighty or ninety dollars, don't you all want it? ”

Mr. Yao laughed, this Zhu Xiaohua was finally willing to start talking about his own problems.

Mr. Yao said: "Eighty or ninety yuan is really nothing to us. Don't. On the contrary, it's you, seventy or eighty photos, thousands of dollars, and a big loss. ”

Zhu Xiaohua shook his head deliberately and said bitterly: "Yes, I can't even deliver the photos." It's just that I'm a little strange, yesterday your scenic spot stopped cooperating, and today these people will know. It's weird. ”

Mr. Yao smiled even more happily.

Even his subordinate Dian Sanlu burst out laughing.

Dian Sanlu said: "I won't tell you the truth, there are a few people who are taking pictures on the other side, I know. They are our clients of Bright Light Photo Studio, and I introduced them here. ”

The Bright Light Photo Studio is a photo studio that they have just established.

Zhu Xiaohua looked at the men in floral shirts, who were still shouting at the door of the photo studio, "Hurry up and return the money".

Zhu Xiaohua calculated, if he was really forced by them to return the money, he would lose at least fifty or sixty yuan, including the cost of seventy or eighty pieces of film and photo paper.

Moreover, these expenses are calculated on the basis of the purchase price, and do not include fixed costs such as rent, staff salaries, and camera wear.

Of course, none of this is the most important thing.

On top of that, the reputation of the Seagull Photo Studio can be damaged, and if this damage, once formed, cannot be recovered in a short period of time.

At present, Seagull Photo Studio has a good development momentum and is thriving. He didn't want to ruin the good atmosphere because of this.
