Chapter 198 Buying a Camera
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, summer is coming, the weather is getting hotter, and Zhai Ying has also ushered in the college entrance examination. In recent days, the family has become very nervous, and even Ye Lin cannot speak loudly when he goes out every day.
Of course, this was stipulated by Li Ran, and Ye Lin could not speak loudly, let alone Ye Qi. Moreover, for this, Li Ting has not come to her home these days.
If it were not for the conditions, Li Ran and Ye Lin and Ye Qi would probably drive them out.
Ye Lin sneered at this. He has not taken the college entrance examination. The more he is, the more relaxed he should be. Of course, the years may be different, and the methods may be different.
You should know that not only Ye Lin took the college entrance examination, but Li Ran also took the college entrance examination, so his experience cannot be used on Zhai Ying. Although Zhai Ying is also a genius, Zhai Ying does not have the ability to remember everything.
"Mom, are you a little nervous?" Ye Lin said to his mother with a wry smile.
"What do you know? These days are the most important days, and it is related to Zhai Ying's lifelong affairs." Li Ran glared at Ye Lin.
When Ye Lin heard his mother describe it for a lifetime, he was immediately overwhelmed and couldn't understand it. Can getting into college make people happy for the rest of their lives, and if they don't get into college, they will suffer for the rest of their lives.
"Mom, you've been through this. Based on my experience in school exams over the years, the more you should relax and not be too tight."
"Your experience? Your experience is to give me a big zero every time."
"Uh!" Ye Lin's black thread on his forehead.
"Mom, we won't attack you."
"Okay, go do whatever you need, don't stay at home."
"Okay then." Ye Lin said weakly.
He had no choice. Ye Lin felt that his mother had been a little crazy these two days. Not only did she ask for leave from the school, she also stayed by Zhai Ying's side all day long, answering questions and answering questions to Zhai Ying at any time.
However, before going out, Ye Lin winked at Zhai Ying.
"Auntie, I'll still buy a reference book."
"Son, wait a moment."
As soon as Ye Lin walked out the door, he was called by Li Ran.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"You accompany Xiaoying to buy a reference book, be careful on the way, go and go quickly."
"clear."
When Li Ran heard Ye Lin agreeing, he turned around and said to Zhai Ying: "Go, buy whatever book you want. Anyway, he has money, so it's better to buy more so that you don't need to run back. These days are the most important time."
"I know Auntie, I'll be back soon."
"Yeah, go."
“Hahahahahaha.”
"Hahaha."
The two of them came outside the slums and were almost laughing. After laughing, Zhai Ying said to Ye Lin: "Ye Lin, isn't this good?"
"What's wrong with it? The school gives you a few days off, just to let you have a good rest and then take the college entrance examination. My mother will be fine, and she won't let you rest when she comes back."
"But……"
"Nothing is true, so I'll take you wherever you want to go."
"I have nothing to go!"
"Uh! Why didn't you want to go?"
Ye Lin looked at Zhai Ying and asked. Zhai Ying had been in the city for several years. In addition to Ye Qi and Li Ting, he had been to the department store, and had never been to other places. How could he not have been to the place he wanted to go?
"No, let's talk about it, I'm not familiar with the imperial capital."
"Uh!" Ye Lin patted his head.
Why did I forget this? The reason why I didn’t want to go is that I didn’t know where there was fun. Since I didn’t know, of course I didn’t want to go.
"So that's it, follow me today, and you can go wherever I go."
"Well, I'll listen to you." Zhai Ying nodded.
"Let's go."
Ye Lin took Zhai Ying to the bus station. Today is going out to play, so he didn't ride a bike. It's best not to ride a bike when playing, because it's more troublesome to put on a bike, and it's better to take a bike.
This is a great time to play, otherwise you will be worried about the bicycle while playing, so you won’t be able to play well.
Ye Lin did not take Zhai Ying to Beihai Park. Zhai Ying had been there, and there was nothing fun. Today, Ye Lin wanted to take Zhai Ying to the Old Summer Palace. There was no way, and there was not enough time, otherwise he would have planned to take Zhai Ying to Badaling.
The Old Summer Palace is located in the northwest suburbs of the imperial capital, adjacent to the Summer Palace. It consists of the Old Summer Palace, Changchun Garden and Wanchun Garden, also known as the Three Yuanming Gardens.
The Old Summer Palace is one of the famous royal gardens in the Qing Dynasty, with an area of more than 5,200 acres and more than 150 scenic spots. The building area is 160,000 square meters and is known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". The Qing Dynasty royal family would come here to manage politics every midsummer, so the Old Summer Palace is also called the "Summer Palace".
The Old Summer Palace was built in 1709 (the 48th year of the Kangxi reign), and was a garden given to Yongzheng, who had not yet ascended the throne, and was used to spare time.
After Yongzheng ascended the throne in 1722, he expanded the original Ci Garden and added the Zhengda Guangming Hall, the Qinzheng Hall, as well as the cabinet, six ministries, and the Military Affairs Office to "avoid the noise and listen to the government."
During the Qianlong period, the Old Summer Palace was partially added and renovated, and Changchun Garden was newly built on the east side and Wanchun Garden was merged into the southeast. The pattern of the Three Yuanming Gardens was basically formed.
During the Jiaqing period, Qichun Garden was repaired and expanded, becoming one of the main garden places.
During the Daoguang period, the national strength was declining and the financial resources were insufficient. Emperor Daoguang would rather withdraw the "Three Mountains" of Wanshou, Xiangshan and Yuquan, and avoid the summer heat and hunting with Mulan, but still renovated the Three Gardens of Yuanming.
The Old Summer Palace was burned by the British and French coalition forces in 1860. The number of cultural relics was plundered was roughly counted at about 1.5 million, ranging from bronze ritual vessels from the pre-Qin period to famous calligraphy and paintings and various rare treasures from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
In 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded the imperial capital, and the royal gardens in the western suburbs were again disaster. During the War of Resistance, they were destroyed to varying degrees.
The ruins of the Old Summer Palace after being burned began to be protected after the founding of New China. In 1956, the Imperial Capital Garden Bureau began to take tree planting protection measures, and now a lot has been restored.
However, Ye Lin did not go directly, but went to the department store first. The reason why he came here was because Ye Lin wanted to buy a camera. This thing is a rare thing. Although the department store sells it, the price is that.
When the two got off the bus, Zhai Ying glanced at the place and asked, "Ye Lin, why are we coming to the department store again?"
"First come here to buy something, and then go out to play. Don't forget that we have to go out for a day, so we can't ignore food."
"That's how it works!"
"For you." Ye Lin handed Zhai Ying a few big union and some tickets.
"Ye Lin, you are..."
"You go buy food, I go buy something else, and we'll meet at the door later."
"Yes." Zhai Ying took the money and followed Ye Lin into the department store.
When I entered the department store, I was selling food. Moreover, the whole first floor was either buying food or selling small things. The place Ye Lin was going to is not here, so the two of them separated.
Camera is a valuable item, which is on the second floor of the department store. It sells valuable items such as bicycles, sewing machines, radios, watches, cameras, gold and silver jewelry.
"Auntie, help me get a camera and I'll see it." When he came to the camera selling place, Ye Lin said to the salesperson.
"Kid, you can't touch this."
"Why?"
"Kid, this is a valuable item and cannot be touched."
The reason why the salesperson talked to Ye Lin in a harmonious manner was that Ye Lin looked like he was not an ordinary person when he was dressed. The salesperson had such thief eyes, and the salesperson sold here were all valuables.
So the people he received were all big shots. Although she had never seen the seal on Ye Lin’s chest, she knew it was not ordinary at first glance.
Otherwise, if someone had driven him away, how could he talk to him? What a joke? Can a camera cost thousands of dollars? Can a child afford it?
“I’ll buy it.”
"Uh!" The salesperson was stunned for a moment, but he still looked at Ye Lin and said, "Little boy, this is not a toy."
"You guy." Ye Lin stopped talking nonsense and took out the money from his schoolbag. He also took a few industrial coupons and took them to the counter.
"That's enough."
"Uh!" The salesperson was surprised this time.
In fact, Ye Lin did not blame the salesperson. If he had to blame, he would have blamed him for being too young. If he was in his twenties or thirties, the salesperson would never have told him that way.
"Enough... enough."
"Take that one over and I'll take a look."
"OK."
The salesperson quickly took the camera that Ye Lin pointed at. It was a Shanghai 582 camera. Ye Lin took a look and handed it to the salesperson and said, "Take that one over."
"OK."
The salesperson quickly handed over another one. Ye Lin took a look and found it was a Shanghai 120 camera. Ye Lin had heard of this camera in later generations and was the predecessor of the Seagull Camera. It can be said that this camera is a classic.
This camera looks like a box, 18 cm high, square at the bottom, about ten cm, and two lenses in front, one up and one up, one large and one small.
It looks very strong, yes, Ye Lin can only use this word to describe it. There is absolutely no problem with this thing as a brick.
"How much does this cost?"
"Four thousand six."
"Okay, that's it."
"Oh, OK."
The salesperson is now not sure how shocked it is, that is 4,600. He has worked hard for ten years and has not earned so much.
Unexpectedly, a child was easily taken out, and at the same time, he was also very glad that he did not offend Ye Lin just now, because he was definitely not a child from an ordinary family.
Four thousand six is just the price of the camera, and there are still two hundred and thirty industrial coupons. Ye Lin handed the two zips directly over, picked up one zips and counted thirty to hand them to the salesperson.
The salesperson quickly took it over and counted it. This one cannot be mistaken. One missing picture will cause a big problem.
The salesperson quickly counted the industrial coupons and raised his head to Ye Lin and said, "It's exactly 230."
