"Learning to repair electrical appliances is not something you can learn in a couple of months. If you find a good trainer who's willing to teach you, it'll take at least a year. If you find a trainer who's just idling around, it'll take two or three years. You'll have to be prepared to eat for free for three years."

Wan Feng had learned to repair home appliances in his previous life, but at that time he did not become an apprentice but attended a class.

From the mid-to-late 1990s to around 2000, the streets were filled with all kinds of classes, from beauty and hairdressing to guitar music, from clothing tailoring to home appliance and motorcycle repair. There was no class you could not find.

At that time, the most common slogan used by these classes was that if you couldn’t learn in the first session, the next session would be free, and if you still couldn’t learn in the next session, it would still be free.

It was at that time that Wan Feng learned how to repair both home appliances and motorcycles. After taking several free courses, he finally learned enough about both.

"This is not a big deal. As long as we can learn, a delay of two or three years is nothing. We are still young." Li Xin thought clearly.

It’s good to be young, as you have the capital to squander.

"Li Xin is done. Next up is Guo Wu... Never mind. You don't need to say anything. I can tell you'll be a profiteer in the future. Wang Dong! It's your turn."

Guo Wu was fed up: "How could I be called a profiteer? I didn't do anything!"

"Haha, just because you haven't done it now doesn't mean you won't do it in the future. Let me be clear, if you commit any financial crimes in the future, don't tell me you know me."

"What kind of person is this!" Guo Wu complained.

Wang Dong smiled before he spoke: "I saw a store that opened today that sells cameras and photographic equipment. I spent the whole afternoon there."

Ah! Are these sold in the market?

Wan Feng was surprised.

I was thinking of buying a camera these days to take pictures when I travel around, but I was worried about where to buy it on the street, and now it's delivered to my door.

But has the shop owner's head been flooded? He's opening a camera shop with only twenty days left before Chinese New Year? All the shop owners here will be going home for the New Year in just a week.

If he comes at this time, it's... incurable.

"Not only did they sell camera film and other things, they also took pictures for people. They charged 25 cents a picture."

Holy shit, taking photos is expensive now! Wasn’t it only 1.5 cents before?

"Did you take a picture?"

Wang Dong shook his head: "After taking the photo, I have to keep the money for the stamps. If he doesn't mail it to me, I will have wasted a lot of money."

"Is anyone taking pictures?"

"Yes, yes, there are quite a few people taking photos, but it seems that most of them are locals. There are also some people from other places, but not many. Wan Feng, what do you think about me buying a camera and taking some photos at home?"

This is a good idea!

You see, one has to go out and see the world in order to discover the New World. If Columbus had spent his days drinking and picking up girls in Spain, he would have had no chance of discovering the American continent.

If Wang Dong always stayed in Wu County, he would never think of taking pictures even if he had eight heads.

"This idea is very creative and very promising. Let me put it this way, if you buy a camera now and start taking pictures, I guarantee you'll be a millionaire in three years."

Don't underestimate the cost of a few cents for a photo, but there are so many people in the photo. If you take a photo of each person, would you feel comfortable developing only one? You should develop at least five or six photos to give to relatives and friends.

Let me put it this way, there is no problem in taking a camera to a village and taking fifty or sixty photos, just like people in later generations like to take selfies, people in the 1980s liked taking photos.

Otherwise, what's the point of having a photo frame in every household?

"But film and developing it are not cheap. The cheapest Kodak costs around ten dollars a roll, and developing a roll costs around eight or nine dollars. You have to be prepared for this."

"I've found out everything today. So what kind of camera do you think I should buy?" Wang Dong started planning now.

Wan Feng didn't know much about cameras, but the only camera available for purchase at that time was the Seagull.

As for SLR or TLR, it first depends on its price.

The most common camera with two eyes on the top and bottom in photo studios costs about 200 yuan. As for the rangefinder SLR, it is probably more expensive, but Wan Feng is not sure how much more expensive it is.

"Let's go check it out tomorrow. I'm also thinking of buying a camera. It would be a shame if you guys came all this way here and didn't take any pictures. Let's go buy a camera tomorrow morning and go to the beach and take some photos."

"Ah! You are going to the beach to take pictures tomorrow, I want to go too!" Luan Feng's ears immediately popped up with calves.

You see, if Luan Feng hears this, nothing good will happen.

"They've never seen the sea, so I'm taking them to see it. Haven't you ever seen the sea? Why are you joining in the fun?"

"Don't you want to take a picture? We haven't taken a picture yet!"

Haven’t you taken a photo with Luan Feng?

"I'm going to buy a camera tomorrow. Do you really trust me to be able to take photos of people?"

"Yes, you can do anything. I have full confidence in you." While speaking, Luan Feng clenched his fist and gave Wan Feng a gesture of encouragement.

This is all blind worship.

Now He Xiao, Guo Wu, Li Xin and Wang Dong have all found their ideals, only Li Mingdou is left.

"Brother Mingdou, it's your turn to be the last one on stage. Tell us what you saw."

"I... I haven't found anything suitable for me to do. It seems that I can't do anything here." Li Mingdou grunted for a long time before saying this.

What this person is going to do when he is born is probably determined.

Guo Wu, Li Xin and Wang Dong's ideals are of a certain level. Although He Xiao was born in the Year of the Pig, he is not without development. At least he can develop from eating to opening a restaurant.

Aihui City will also be a well-known tourist destination in the northeastern region of Heilongjiang in the future. It is not impossible for him to open a restaurant in Aihui City in the future.

But Li Mingdou was a little confused.

Wan Feng didn't find it strange at all. Just based on the fact that this guy had such big feet, he was not cut out for business. The only thing he could do in the future was probably to open a martial arts school and be a bodyguard.

If he is willing, it would be nice for him to follow me in the future, bringing his Russian woman with him.

Thinking of this, Wan Feng laughed secretly again.

The kang was warm and the wine was warm. There was plenty of food and more was available. No one had anything to do in the evening, so there was no need to rush.

By the end of the day, the women at that table had finished their meal and left, but this table was still bragging.

It is indeed a boast. After everyone has almost finished drinking and eating, all that is left is lies.

The table of people from the east room had finished eating, and Zhu Ping also came over.

"My uncle is the highest leader of the Wahou, equivalent to the president of a foreign country. These are all my classmates from Bianwai."

Zhu Ping did not sit at the table, but just said hello and went back home.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Luan Feng, Zhang Xuan and He Yanfei also sat on the kang, leaning against the wall side by side with quilts covering their bodies, listening to the men bragging and talking nonsense under the influence of alcohol.
