Chapter 18 Remittance Notes

Yang Rui came to pick up his takeaway. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A meal of beef a day is really common for middle school students in later generations, but in 1982, only a small township restaurant like Shi Gui could provide it, and it was replaced by a big city with strict tickets, and Yang Rui couldn't afford the meat tickets just needed.

Of course, without meat tickets, the price of beef is also quite obvious, and after more than a week, Yang Rui used up two manuscript fees, which is equivalent to eating an adult's salary.

Despite this, Yang Rui is also willing. The effect of a large intake of high protein is very good, and I can already feel the muscle bulge obviously, and in another two months, I may be able to nod my head.

As for the published manuscript, it just takes a few minutes to select, a few minutes to excerpt and rewrite, and where is it more important than the body.

Seeing Hu Yanshan and his party, Yang Rui was only puzzled for a moment, and walked over without stopping.

Hu Yanshan suddenly didn't know what to say, and asked him what was the way to get the money?

If people don't say it, what can they do? If it was Yang Rui in the past, Hu Yanshan didn't even bother to ask, so he grabbed it and looked at it.

But now Yang Rui ...... Hu Yanshan inexplicably thought of the group of people around the bench press rack at the west end of the playground. After this period of exercise, not to mention how much the body of these guys has strengthened, the relationship with Yang Rui is much closer, there are no boys who grow up in the township who dare not fight, if they are arrogant, with Yang Rui's current temper, the result is unpredictable.

"Uncle, do you have my letter?" Just when Hu Yanshan was thinking nonsense, Yang Rui had already walked to the communication room, took the takeaway, handed a cigarette to the porter, and then began to look for the remittance slip for himself.

The dog-headed military advisor didn't have as many worries as Hu Yanshan, so he ran up in three steps and two steps, and said with a sneer: "Yang Rui, have you made a pen pal?"

As he spoke, his eyes rolled.

In the 80s, making pen pals was like chatting with strangers on QQ, some people could chat for several years, and some people wrote more than ten pages at a time, and sent letters back and forth four or five times a month.

Similarly, just as students who chat about QQ will use learning to type to cover up their behavior, students who make pen pals will also use learning to write to cover up. In the school's communication room, there are letters from all over the country almost every day.

Yang Rui turned his head to look at him and said, "What are you that Dong?"

"My brothers all call me Dong Junshi. "The dog-headed military advisor learned to show people to arch their hands.

Yang Rui let out an "oh" and pulled out a few letters of his own from a pile of letters in the window.

When he submitted his manuscript for the first time, he was worried that he would not be able to review it, so he sent different articles to several magazines, and prepared to send the rejection back again in the future.

However, in the early 80s, there were so many magazines and few high-level manuscripts, which still surprised him, and most of the magazines published his manuscripts one after another.

The dog-headed military advisor was sharp-eyed, and he immediately saw a few big words of "Middle School Chemistry".

"There's really a manuscript fee......" he muttered to himself.

Yang Rui smiled, closed the envelope in his hand, and turned around to leave.

"Hey, Yang Rui, Yang Rui, take a look. The kobold stopped him.

The students of this era have a heart for literature and art, and the kobold military master has also sent poems and novels to understand some manuscript fees.

He calculated clearly in his heart that the manuscript fee for an article is normally tens of yuan, and only a top magazine like "People's Literature" has a cap of 100 yuan per thousand words, but no matter how it is calculated, one or two manuscript fees are not enough for Yang Rui to eat beef openly.

Yang Rui must have other ways to make money.

The kobold wants to prove it.

Yang Rui was not very happy and asked, "Do you want to read my letter?"

Private letters, naturally, are not allowed to be shown to others.

"That's not what it means. The dog-headed military advisor sold Shi Gui in a blink of an eye, pointed at him and said, "This guy said that you charged a lot of manuscript fees, I'm not curious." ”

The meaning of reading the manuscript fee is completely different from that of reading the letter.

Shi Gui was anxious: "What do you mean, what did you say to me, you asked......

"I asked, and then you did. Dong Junshi worked hard, turned his head and smiled: "Yang Rui, the brothers have heard about it, no one thought of it, there is a great writer in our school, come on, take out the manuscript fee, let us have a long experience." ”

Yang Rui glanced at Shi Gui deeply, knowing what was going on.

In this, Shi Gui is certainly a big mouth, and it is not difficult to guess what other people think.

"Okay. Let me show you. Yang Rui quickly glanced at the source of the letters, opened one of them with determination in his heart, and thought: Light up your kryptonite dog eyes.

A group of people at the school gate surrounded them, and these individuals present had never seen what the manuscript fee was.

Hu Yanshan rubbed the soles of his feet, and quietly stood in the outer circle. He is not low, and with a little bit of his feet, he can see Yang Rui's movements inside.

I saw a letter written in the magazine "Science Life", which was torn open by Yang Rui from the edge.

Instead of a remittance slip, it's a folded page of text messages.

Yang Rui unfolded slowly, and sure enough, the "Biosphere" he wrote was published in the popular science magazine "Science Illustrated".

Unlike those science essays, this "Biosphere" is a popular science article written by Yang Rui himself, based on the upcoming Biosphere 2 experiment in the United States, which is a miniature artificial ecological circulation system that attempts to simulate the earth's environment.

The Biosphere 2 experiment is very famous and very meaningful, it was designed to test whether humans can survive without the earth.

If they could, the so-called lunar immigrants, the so-called Martian immigrants, would have a minimum biological basis.

If not, no matter how advanced rockets and spacecraft are, they will not allow humans to colonize Mars.

In other words, the first condition for migration to outer space is the success of biosphere experiments, as was the case in the 80s, in the 90s, and in the 21st century.

Without the premise of a successful biosphere experiment, all reports of migrants to outer space are hooligans played by ignorant journalists.

Unfortunately, the Biosphere 2 experiment failed.

However, in 1982, people were still full of anticipation for the biosphere 2 experiment, which had not yet begun, and many wonderful cosmic imaginations were flooding the world.

This is the best popular science subject.

The most important thing is that this kind of popular science article can be written very long, and it does not need to be too good writing, and it is already a beautiful popular science article just by relying on rigorous reasoning to prove the inevitable failure of Biosphere 2.

So, according to what he knew, some of the knowledge he had learned, and some information, Yang Rui did not hesitate to write a 30,000-word article, divided into two parts, and sent it to Science Illustrated.

This is also the science magazine with the highest manuscript fee known to Yang Rui, with a total of 65 yuan for 1,000 words and a total of 2,145 yuan for 33,000 words, which is more than Secretary Yang's salary for two years, enough to buy a 14-inch black-and-white TV, which is so high that it is unbearable to look at.

Now, the publication notice is coming, and Yang Rui doesn't need to waste time doing copying for a long time in the future.

It's also interesting to end your own plagiarism with your own article.

However, Dong Junshi and others fell into a deep shock.

This is Science Illustrated.

Students at Fort West High School may not know that Science Illustrated has a single circulation of millions of copies at this time, or they may not understand the concept of a million copies in circulation, or they may not have guessed that this is a record-setting magazine in a record-setting era.

But who hasn't read Science Illustrated?

"Yang Rui, your article will be published in Science Illustrated?" Shi Gui spoke before the others. Although he is thirty years old and busy running a restaurant, in this era of national literacy, Shi Gui occasionally reads "Science Illustrated".

How can people who live in the town not read Science Illustrated!

Yang Rui nodded slightly and said, "It should be the next issue, it seems to be cutting the queue." ”

"Ahh

He really wanted to prove that Yang Rui had other ways to get money.

"It should be in another letter. Yang Rui calmly found another envelope with "Science Illustrated" written on it. He is not prepared to hide his income, at least his current income does not need to be hidden, otherwise, his current and future large expenses will be unexplained.

On the other hand, with the beginning of reform and opening up, manuscript fees have gradually become a kind of clean income, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

The thin envelope was gently cut.

Yang Rui directly took out the remittance slip inside and generously showed it in front of everyone.

2037。 $40.

A few simple Arabic numerals, like sound absorbers, silence the surroundings.

The difficult capitalized numbers made Dong Junshi even more dizzy.
