Chapter 14: The so-called hype

signed the contract, and Deng Yuanshan paid him five coins of silver first.

Today's harvest was actually very unexpected by Mu Qing, I thought it wouldn't be so smooth, but where did I think that this Mr. Deng Yuanshan Deng is a very resolute character.

Mu Qing put away the money and arched his hand towards Mr. Deng: "I will trouble Mr. Deng in the future." ”

"It's okay." Although it seems to have been struck by the half-grown child in front of him, the book is indeed good. Deng Yuanshan's appearance is gentle, but in fact, he has a sharp and cunning heart that belongs to a businessman, and he can see that the book will be popular, and it will be more popular than the previous ones.

But he still has to think about the means to make this book a big hit.

Deng Yuanshan sent Mu Qing out, and before leaving, Mu Qing suddenly turned around and asked, "If this book is made into a play, will anyone come to see it?" ”

Play? At this time, opera is not popular, but this is a method. The story of the West Chamber is very strong, and it will definitely look better if it is made into an opera.

Deng Yuanshan watched Mu Qing's color change a little, but there was a faint smile on his face: "Then wait for Mu Gongzi's friend to write out the second half of the book, and I'll go find some drama troupes." ”

"Don't wait for the second half, the first half is enough for now." Mu Qing said lightly, a hint of cunning leaked from the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

In the first half of the book, he deliberately intercepted the key point, Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying were obvious, but the partial birth stopped at Zhang Sheng's sentence to the matchmaker, "If you share your amorous lady with the mandarin tent, how can you be willing to fold the quilt and make the bed."

That's right, Mu Qing shamelessly used the nature of human gossip, if it was just the main line of Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying that couldn't catch people, he would throw out a branch line, and the partial life would come to an abrupt end, he didn't believe that people didn't have curiosity.

"No matter how much I sing, I can't get any benefits, but I only benefit when the books sell too much."

Deng Yuanshan is also a smart person, but he understood what Mu Qing meant with a slight turn of his mind. There was a smile on his face, a little interested, he didn't say anything, and sent Mu Qing away. When he returned, he opened the pile of manuscripts with a deep thought in his eyes.

He is the concubine of the family, and the difference between the concubines and concubines makes him not have the slightest hope at all. I was thinking of studying and finding a place to go, but I felt that I was not that piece of material in the month of studying.

He doesn't like money, but he likes the feeling of real money flowing around in his hands. Even if he didn't admit it in his heart, Deng Yuanshan knew that he was a businessman, and he would be a good businessman.

However, doing business also requires a model and a way out.

Today, this young man named Mu Qing made him see some hazy feelings. One thing, half hidden and half exposed, gave people a very vague impression, but it made him want to dig deeper. Seducing, coaxing, and letting the world go according to their own ideas, this feeling is unexpectedly amazing.

If Mu Qing knew, he would know, now Mr. Deng, there is a word that can be summed up.

Elegant, called entertainment reporters.

In layman's terms, it's called paparazzi.

What the world calls is hype.

============================================================================

In fact, Mu Qing didn't want the ten taels of silver, for him now, this is a lot of money. Even if "The Legend of the West Chamber" is popular, only 20% of the profit will not exceed ten taels, but in fact, he is at a loss. It's just that he wants to have a deeper connection with the Deng family bookstore, after all, it is the only bookstore in Guizhou City.

Forty percent profit is Mu Qing's nonsense, and twenty percent profit is his psychological price. He did deceive Deng Yuanshan, and he was very satisfied with the result.

It's not just the twenty percent profit, but more importantly, I see a bookstore owner who is not difficult to get along with.

On the way home, he bought some vegetables, as well as a piece of sauce meat and some bacon. Mu Qing, who hadn't smelled meat for a long time, felt that both he and Annu needed some oil and water to satisfy their hunger. I went to Qian's Tavern on the way, but Sister Qian was not there, so Mu Qing put some bacon in the store and left.

A few pieces of bacon are not very valuable, but they are human relations.

When I got home, I put my things in the kitchen, and as soon as I entered the house, I saw Annu writing something on the table. Mu Qing walked over quietly, and saw Annu sitting very upright practicing calligraphy, but he didn't use ink, just dipped in water to write, and a thick linen cloth was padded under the rice paper, and the glyphs could be seen after writing, but every once in a while, he wrote down again.

My own Anu is obviously used to being poor, and I can come up with such a way to save money. Mu Qing felt a little distressed in his eyes, but his face was not revealing at all, he approached Anu with a smile, and suddenly spoke: "What are you writing?" ”

Annu was startled, and turned back suddenly, but before he could withdraw his hand, the brush directly scraped Mu Qing's cheek.

Mu Qing is now starting to rejoice, fortunately he didn't get ink, it is not easy to wash when it sticks to his face.

"Master, you're back!" Annu saw that it was Mu Qing, his face was happy, but the next second, his face changed slightly, he threw away the pen in his hand, picked up the handkerchief on the side and wiped Mu Qing's face, Mu Qing didn't dodge, and asked him to wipe it with a big smile.

After wiping it clean, Annu put down his hand, Mu Qing turned his face slightly to the bronze mirror, and said, "Well, this is washed, but it is cleaner than in the morning." ”

Annu's face turned red, and he hurriedly got up and helped Mu Qing change out of his navy blue shirt and into the cotton clothes he wore at home.

"I bought some vegetables and came back, what does Annu want to eat at night?" Mu Qing said while tightening the cloth belt on his waist.

Annu shook his head, it was already his to let the master cook in the morning, how could he still let the master cook at night? Without waiting for Mu Qing to react, Annu rushed out, entered the kitchen and closed the door, even if Mu Qing called him, he wouldn't open it.

Mu Qing is not obsessed, it's a big deal to come by one person day at a time.

On the table, Annu's last handwriting was not yet completely dry. Mu Qing walked over to take a look, but saw that it was the word "green". With his eyes twinkling, he picked up the piece of paper and looked at the burlap underneath.

The moist marks were clearly his name.

===============================================================================

Annu's craftsmanship is good, and after a few dishes are served, Mu Qing can smell the fragrance even through a door. A group of vegetarian fried vegetables, shiny and shiny, a plate of cold radishes, shredded radish is cut very finely, and the sauce beef, the small half is cut into very thin slices, and there is a vinegar dish with green onion sesame oil next to it, which looks good. The other half is cut into pieces and stewed with potato vermicelli, which is obviously a very simple ingredient, but the taste is fragrant and makes people drool.

Mu Qing directly got into his hand, pinched a piece of potato and put it in his mouth, and the soft and glutinous taste mixed with the aroma of sauce meat instantly filled his mouth. was so hot that he couldn't speak, Mu Qing only stretched out his thumb to Annu.

Annu didn't understand the meaning of tidying up, but she knew that her master liked it, so she laughed too.

The steamed buns I bought are ready-made, not baked hard steamed buns, and this soft and chubby big white steamed bun looks good just by looking at it. Mu Qing ate happily, but Annu still ate neither fast nor slow, his eyes kept looking at Mu Qing, laughing while watching.

"The food in the future, Annu, will be handed over to you!" The porridge he cooked in the morning and the dishes made by Annu were simply not of the same grade, and Mu Qing felt that he would be blessed in the future.

Annu nodded in response, took the chopsticks and put the meat in Mu Qing's bowl.

Mu Qing looked at Annu and thought in his heart, feeling that what his Annu did was very good, whether it was cooking and cleaning up these trivial things, or reading and writing, he would be able to teach it, and looking at the words just now, it was already very good.

There was a feeling that he had won a baby, and Mu Qing squinted his eyes happily.
