Chapter Seventy-Two: Thoughts
The fastest change in the world is the human heart, the shape of the white clouds in the sky, the emotion of the vicissitudes of life, and the constant is always the time that has been silently disappearing. Whether it's the dinosaurs vying for domination of the earth, or the humans who make a mess of the earth's environment, it is indifferent, indifferent, and just cares about moving forward tirelessly.
It has been two weeks since Ning Zhichu, Zhang Jing, and Wen Youyou went to climb Daqingshan together, and more than half of the summer vacation has basically passed. After that trip to Daqingshan, Ning Zhichu felt that whether it was with Zhang Jing or with Wen Youyou, the distance between them seemed to be closer. Sometimes, Wen Youyou will also come to the door and study with Ning Zhichu; Sometimes, Zhang Jing will occasionally use excuses to buy things and chat with Ning Zhichu in the store to spend time. More often than not, it was Ning Zhichu who took care of the store alone.
Ning Zhichu once told Ning's father and Ning's mother that they should rent less farmland in the village and devote their minds to taking care of the shop's business. However, it may be out of the farmers' attachment and dependence on the land, Ning's father and Ning's mother still refused, and their reasons are also very strong, since there are more places to use money at home, then they must work hard to make money. At the end of the year after the start of the third year of Ningzhichu junior high school, they will consider surrendering the farmland. As for now, it is better to grow some seasonal vegetables first, and it is better to have a little income.
Ning Zhichu, who couldn't persuade his parents, had to come to the store every day to "work". In addition, for the sake of his sister's safety, Ning Zhichu asked Ning Ke not to send him lunch at noon, he took home-grown rice and vegetables from home, and put the vegetables in the refrigerator in the kitchen of the store to keep them fresh, and then at noon every day, Ning Zhichu started to cook lunch by himself. On a few occasions, Zhang Jing and Wen Youyou were fortunate to taste Ning Zhichu's craftsmanship, and they also sighed at Ning Zhichu's increasingly sophisticated cooking skills.
I don't know what the reason is, Ning Zhichu himself feels that his cooking skills are getting better and better. The few daily side dishes he often eats are all fried by him to make them taste good. As for some other dishes with relatively high requirements, Ning Zhichu also made them tasteful and decent, at least Ning's mother came to the store one day to help buy the goods, and then ate lunch with her son, and then tasted the taste of the dishes, Ning's mother was silent for a while, and then decided to let Ning Zhichu do it every night in the future. This made Ning Zhichu know the details, and his face was black.
In addition, the business of Xinghong Shop is also getting better and better. Although the school has not yet opened, but only those Ning Zhichu according to the experience of later generations into the various foods, attracted the love of people in the community near the school, especially the school community is the "school district room" in people's mouths, not only adjacent to Chengnan Middle School, but also around the key primary school Chengnan Primary School, Xinpu Central Kindergarten, there are many children, especially like to eat snacks, so Ning Zhichu for this kind of people into the snacks can sell almost a week on average, and the sales are getting higher day by day.
In the process of collecting money and looking for money, Ning Zhichu not only focused on reviewing the knowledge of physics and chemistry, but also germinated the idea of continuing to "copy the public". The reason why this idea germinated again was because a few days ago, the boss of Shiai Bookstore came to the news that the sales of the first volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" had reached 700,000 copies.
The reason why Boss Dong told Ning Zhichu this news was that on the one hand, he urged Ning Zhichu to fulfill the agreement and let him quickly choose a time to hold a signing meeting again, after all, when it reached 300,000 copies last time, Ning Zhichu was preparing for the final exam, and he didn't have time to do any signing meeting; On the other hand, Boss Dong also had the idea of urging the draft, and asked Ning Zhichu to hurry up and hand over the sequel draft of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". In terms of Boss Dong's experience, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has been a big hit, so why not strike while the iron is hot, chase the enemy, and try to make more money. Moreover, Boss Dong feels that this "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is not only this volume, but there must be a sequel and a sequel.
Therefore, whether it is for the development of Shiai Bookstore and Shiai Book Publishing House, or for the sake of having more money in his pocket, Boss Dong also personally ran from Yuanjiang District to Xinpu County to find Ning Zhichu. At that time, Ning Zhichu was startled when he saw Boss Dong appear at the door of the store.
Then after the two chatted for a day, Ning Zhichu knew how popular "Ghost Blows the Lamp" was. It can be said that among the nearly 7 million people in Xinyang City, nearly one-seventh of them have watched or heard "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
It's just that Ning Zhichu just handed over the second volume he wrote in the trivial time of the summer vacation to Boss Dong. As for Ning Zhichu's second book, Ning Zhichu hadn't thought about what to write, so he first made a haha with Boss Dong and revealed it.
Later, Ning Zhichu followed Jia Junpeng to an Internet café and found that although the current Internet literature has gradually developed, there are still many excellent novels and Internet writers that have not emerged. Therefore, Ning Zhichu was thinking about what to write about the second book and put it on the Internet.
It's early August 2005, and there are a few great web novels out there, but there's more waiting to be discovered. Ning Zhichu, who had been thinking about it for several days, didn't think clearly about what he wanted to write. But one day, Ning Zhichu couldn't stand Jia Junpeng's repeated invitations, and followed him to a dark Internet café to play games. When he was operating a rough game character to fight monsters, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his heart.
Because he suddenly thought of something, Ning Zhichu's thinking didn't keep up with the operation, and the dungeon strategy failed this time. Ning Zhichu, who was disgusted by Jia Junpeng, smiled apologetically at Jia Junpeng, and then quit the game, opened a notepad, and wrote the four big characters "Buddha is the Tao" on the top of the notepad.
That's right, Ning Zhichu has already decided that the second novel he wants to copy is the first book that a former platinum writer at some point in his previous life never dreamed of. It can be said that the reason why Dream Buluo became a platinum writer at a certain point is that he became a god by relying on this book. Although he later left for various reasons, he also left an indelible trace in the history of a certain point in his development.
"Buddha is the Way" tells that the protagonist shuttles freely between the realm of heaven, earth, man and demon, and the door of the Dao, Buddha, and fairy and demon by chance, revealing the secret of the battle of the gods in ancient times, and telling the secret of the Buddha and the Tao back then. Ning Zhichu still remembered that he was in his first year of high school at that time, and "Buddha is the Way" was becoming popular among male classmates, out of curiosity, Ning Zhichu went to check it, and this reading didn't matter, so Ning Zhichu was fascinated. He once stayed up all night and read it all over, so Ning Zhichu decided that his second book was to copy "Buddha is the Way".
However, before that, Ning Zhichu first had to finish all of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and then deliver it, after all, who would have trouble with money? Ning Zhichu, who did what he said, spent the rest of his summer vacation either writing "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", or recalling the general plot of "Buddha is the Way", and then creating a plot outline, and after "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" was written, he could start immediately according to the outline.
However, Ning Zhichu still didn't write "Buddha is the Way" during the summer vacation, because Ning Zhichu's summer vacation was over. Ning Zhichu's third year of junior high school is about to start again again.
