Chapter 15: Time flies
"Thank you, thank you, thank you for your hard work, thank you for worrying. Lu Dongchen sent a few thanks in a row, indeed, the attitude of the editor in front of him really made him feel flattered.
In the high-end community opposite, residents have moved in one after another, and the popularity has gradually increased, and the shops, supermarkets, and restaurants at the entrance of the community have slowly begun to increase.
Lu Dongchen aimed at a restaurant called "Special Sauerkraut Fish Restaurant", the façade is not large, but it is newly opened, the store is extremely clean, and it looks very comfortable.
Well, that's it.
Due to the newly opened restaurant, there are very few people eating in the restaurant. The owner of the hotel is an eldest sister in her forties, and when she looks at the business, she is quite enthusiastic, and hurriedly beckons Lu Dongchen and Lu Jiaqi to sit down, bring the menu, and pour hot water.
Lu Dongchen took the menu and browsed with his head down, he first had to pick what Lu Jiaqi could eat and love, and then take care of his appetite.
"Let's have a sauerkraut fish, our restaurant's signature dish!" the proprietress took the initiative to recommend.
"Sauerkraut fish? Well, don't. Lu Dongchen shook his head, Lu Jiaqi was just three years old, and he fed her fish by himself, in case the fish bones were not clean and stuck, it would be a big trouble.
Well, spicy doesn't work, and kids can't eat spicy food.
The bones are not good, and Lu Jiaqi can't chew it.
……
Since it had just opened, Lu Dongchen was still the first batch of customers in the store, although the order was a little slow, but the proprietress was not impatient. On the contrary, his eyelids were quite lively, so he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and sugar from the counter and stuffed them into Lu Jiaqi's hand.
Just start doing business, you have to entertain and serve well, so that there can be repeat customers, and the hotel can stand still, and the proprietress still understands this reason.
"Thank you, Auntie, babies won't eat melon seeds!" Lu Jiaqi looked like an adult, sat opposite Lu Dongchen, and shook her head politely when she saw the melon seeds handed over by the proprietress.
"Oh my God, this kid is so polite! He's still beautiful, and he's smart, and he looks like his dad with big eyes!"
Lu Dongchen rolled his eyes at the proprietress of the boss, my eyes are not big!
The proprietress didn't care about Lu Dongchen holding the menu and wanted to order something. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he hugged Lu Jiaqi in his arms, put down the melon seeds, and took out the sugar and handed it to Lu Jiaqi.
The allure of candy for Lu Jiaqi is obviously far greater than that of melon seeds.
Lu Jiaqi's big eyes rolled, looked at her father who was ordering, looked down at the candy in the boss's hand, then pouted, and then looked at her father.
In the end, I saw that my father was still bowing his head and ordering, but he didn't speak. I had to helplessly say to the proprietress: "Auntie, Dad said that you can't eat strangers' things!
This kid, Auntie is not a bad person! The proprietress shook Lu Jiaqi in her arms dotingly, and directly stuffed the candy into Lu Jiaqi's pocket.
Four dishes: stewed eggs with river prawns, stir-fried kidney flowers, kelp fungus, and steamed pork with round cage noodles.
One soup: crucian carp soup.
One sweet treat: pumpkin pie.
The four dishes, one soup and one sweet are carefully selected by Lu Dongchen, all of which are suitable for Lu Jiaqi and what Lu Jiaqi likes to eat. In the end, he ordered himself two more beers, one frozen and one at room temperature, and drank them.
Since crossing into this world, Lu Dongchen has never drunk alcohol, although the "Lu Dongchen" in this world originally had a hobby of drinking.
Today, it's different.
First, he earned the first pot of gold, although it was only 10,000 yuan, but the significance to Lu Dongchen was unusual, and he had to celebrate it a little.
Second, I finally replaced Lu Jiaqi with an air conditioner, and achieved a small goal, my daughter will never get hot again.
Thirdly, "Writing on the Street" can finally sign a contract, and it has been a week since I published the book on June 10. It is indeed very hard and tiring to code words every day, but signing a contract represents the website's affirmation of its own works, and the effort is not in vain.
Therefore, today Lu Dongchen made an exception and ordered two bottles of beer.
"Daddy, drink! Here, cheers!"
Who taught this, other people's daughters are blocking their fathers from drinking, my daughters are good, and they can't speak clearly, so they know to persuade me to drink!
……
Early the next morning, Lu Dongchen got up and made breakfast for Lu Jiaqi according to her previous habits, but she hadn't woken up yet. Lu Dongchen thought that it would be good for children to sleep more, but he ignored it.
Turn on your computer and get ready to start the day.
Log in to the BB number, the message flashes, and the verification of the contracted editor friend has passed.
There is no nonsense, after Lu Dongchen said his pen name and the name of the work, the signing editor directly sent the electronic version of the contract to Lu Dongchen, if there is no objection, print out two copies, sign his real name and pen name, and then attach an outline of the work to mail it over.
Finally, he sent the detailed address of the digital Chinese network, Lu Dongchen thanked him, and then the two ended chatting and began to work on their own things.
Lu Dongchen roughly read the contract, the content is very much, more than ten pages, the words are still small, and I don't see the reason.
Forget it, don't read it, anyway, everyone signed it like this, and we don't study law. Besides, the contracts have been carefully scrutinized by the website's legal counsel, and no matter what they do, it is impossible for others to modify the contract for the sake of a young newcomer.
It's better to concentrate on the code word, this is the king.
In the past few days, he has been buying air conditioners or something, which has more or less affected the time and quantity of his code words, and he must be vigilant. At no time can you make excuses for not coding words, which will easily cause inertia and lead to a decline in state.
As Lu Dongchen kept tapping on the keyboard with both hands, paragraph by paragraph text appeared on the computer document.
At this moment, Lu Dongchen's hand speed was very fast. Through this period of perseverance in codewords, Lu Dongchen slowly figured out some tricks to improve his codeword speed.
First of all, the inspiration came and it got into the mood. Just keep writing and don't worry too much about the details, such as making mistakes, sentences that don't make sense, or anything like that.
In this state, the speed of the codeword is often very fast. As mentioned earlier, Lu Dongchen's typing speed is not slow, mainly because his brain is slow to conceive the plot and can't keep up.
When the inspiration has passed, the state has passed, and often the chapters of about 10,000 words have been coded out, and then start from the beginning, find the wrong words, and find obvious mistakes.
This is Lu Dongchen's own experience. In the first few days of coding, I struggled to conceive the plot for a long time, and then began to write. Thinking to himself, typing in his hand. Well, if you find a wrong word, you can change it and find that the word is not used accurately enough, which word is more appropriate......
In this way, the eyes are always focused on the details, and the writing state is always interrupted, and I can't be immersed in it. The writing is stumbling and slow.
Now, through practice, he has slowly figured out some tricks, compared with the first few days of code words, not only the writing is smoother, but the speed is also greatly improved.
People, in the case of concentrating on work, time always flies quickly. Unknowingly, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Dongchen finished the last paragraph, let out a long breath, and a plot came to an end.
