29. The first manuscript fee

Yongan Restaurant is one of the largest hotels in Tongcheng today, although from the perspective of future generations, this Yongan Restaurant can only be regarded as a very ordinary restaurant in terms of decoration and scale, with only three floors, and the area of each floor is not large. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But in today's era, such a scale is quite unbelievable, just eat a casual meal here, with the scale of Zhang Han and their line today, how can it cost two or three hundred, almost equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary worker.

However, the old man is happy today, making an exception for bloodletting, and at the same time to entertain guests from the three island countries - even if they are actually Zhang Han's assistants.

On the way to the hotel, Zhang Han was responsible for chatting with the guests of the three island countries, and the old man did not go out this time, but walked in the middle of the team, and the status of the head of the family was revealed. Others are gifts from Yuto Ueno and others who don't know Huaxia before their twittering discussions. Although they don't know about Kobe beef and Koshihikari rice, and they don't know the specific value, but considering that they can bring each other from a distant island country, it is not a simple thing to think of.

And most importantly, it's a gift from an island nation! Nowadays, in these days, whoever goes out of the country, it is all great news, and the people are extremely curious about life abroad, and people who have a door and a way want to go out to see it by all means, and those who can't go out also like to inquire about these things, which is a very good topic to talk about.

Now that Zhang Han has not only gone abroad, but also has crooked nuts rushing to give gifts, let alone increase face. The old Zhang family was very excited, especially Zhang Han's aunt, who had a loud voice, and she could hear half the street when she spoke. Along the way, the pedestrians who came and went didn't know how many glances they had seen her, but Zhang Han's aunt was really excited enough today, and the old man's eyes couldn't stop her, which made the old man blow his beard and stare at her, with an unhappy expression.

Zhang Han, who was at the forefront, gave Ueno Yuren a brief introduction to the history of Tongcheng on the road, including some places of interest in Tongcheng, as well as the things that Tongcheng had done as the national capital before. I have to say that Yuto Ueno is really a caring person, and after knowing that he became Zhang Han's comic editor, he actually briefly investigated the history of Tongcheng.

Although he was in an island country and was limited in what he could investigate, he was aware of some of the more famous sites and historical events. When Zhang Han introduced him, he was able to say a few words in a decent manner, which made Zhang Han admire.

Not to mention anything else, just this meticulous heart made Zhang Han very satisfied.

After walking for about ten minutes, the group came to Yongan Restaurant.

Entered the hotel, asked for a large private room, a group of people sat in, and the old man ordered a table of dishes, all of which are famous delicacies in Tongcheng.

For example, Tongcheng's famous oily meat, the meat slices are soft and tender, the entrance is juicy and plump, and the fragrance is full; There is also the siu mai of Tongcheng, which is also a must, the dough is crispy and soft, the meat filling is strong, and the meat is full of gravy in the mouth, which is very delicious. There are many other delicacies, such as braised pork in Tongcheng, wowo wo with noodles, stewed pork with yellow cake and so on...... It is one of the must-order delicacies for foreign tourists to Tongcheng.

Of course, the most indispensable thing is the knife-cut noodles in Tongcheng, and the craftsmanship of the chef of Yongan Restaurant is naturally better than Zhang Han's mother, which is understandable, after all, other chefs rely on their skills to eat, and Zhang Han's mother was just a housewife before, and the two are not comparable at all.

The knife-cut noodles of Yongan Restaurant are like willow leaves, bright and white. The meat is also fat but not greasy, oily and shiny, and it is beautiful from the bottom of my heart when I drink it. It is topped with tender raw coriander and chopstick-thin leek leaves, and even the egg yolk has turned into a green braised egg, and the fried tofu full of broth is eaten...... This bowl of noodles seems simple, but it is really not easy to achieve this level, without a certain foundation, don't even think about it.

This meal was enjoyed by the guests and hosts, and the Zhang family did not talk about it, and the three of Ueno Yuto ate were also very enjoyable. Although it is a very different style of food from theirs, there is no geographical restriction on delicious food. As long as it is delicious enough, people everywhere will feel delicious. The craftsmanship of the chef of Yongan Restaurant is one top and the other, and the meals made are not said.

The three island people not only tasted the food of Tongcheng, but also tasted the Chinese liquor for the first time, the degree is much higher than the sake, and the taste is also much spicy. But after a while, the three of them started drinking a cup of you and me, and they drank happily. The strength of the wine is up, who cares if the wine is spicy or not? I just feel that I have enjoyed drinking it, and I can't stop at all.

Fortunately, Yuto Ueno is still a measured person, he didn't drink after a few drinks, he couldn't persuade him, and said that he had a lot of things to do in the afternoon, and he said that he didn't drink anything, which shows that this person's self-control is not bad, and he can do it to the point. The two assistants couldn't do it, cup after cup, and after a while, the two of them drank a bottle of liquor, which is a high-count liquor, and the sake of the island country is completely different concepts.

Island people who are accustomed to drinking sake drink liquor in the same posture as drinking sake, and the consequences can be imagined.

Before the meal was eaten, the two of them lay on the table, one asleep, and the other didn't know what they were talking about. Zhang Han pricked up his ears to listen, but he didn't understand, after all, he brought the spoken language of the local dialect, and it was normal to not understand it.

When everyone was full of wine and food, and everyone had eaten about the same, Yuto Ueno took the small bag he had been carrying, unzipped it, and pulled out an envelope from inside. It's bulging, and it's full of things at first glance.

His action attracted everyone's attention at once, and everyone in the family looked at it in an instant.

"Zhang Jun, in fact, this thing should have been given to you before, but I couldn't find a suitable opportunity before. Now that I've drunk some wine, it's so good that I'm afraid I won't be able to finish my afternoon work, so I'll give you the money you paid for the last and this time while I'm still sober. ”

Yuto Ueno said, handing the envelope in his hand to Zhang Han.

Zhang Han took the envelope and pinched it, feeling a thick pile inside. Then he took out the money in front of everyone. In the next second, there was a neat gasping sound in the room.

"At present, Zhang Jun, you are still in the newcomer stage, and the editor-in-chief of Bird Island gives you a manuscript fee of 5,000 yen per manuscript, which is really very good, and many of our famous cartoonists over there, the manuscript fee is only this level.

The manuscript you left behind was a month's share, a total of 60 copies, and at a price of 5,000 yen each, a total of 300,000 yen. Plus this time the manuscript fee, a total of 600,000 yen, we have helped you convert it into RMB in advance, according to the latest exchange rate, this is 40,000 yuan, you must be clear. Once you have confirmed that everything is correct, please sign the reply slip. ”

Yuto Ueno tugged at the collar of his shirt, the liquor in his stomach was really hot, and he now felt as if there was a small stove in his stomach, burning all over his body.

He pulled out a note from the inner pocket of his suit with some words written in the island Chinese.

Zhang Han looked at it, it was a machine-typed manuscript fee receipt with the seal of Juvenile Weekly. I don't know if this is specially prepared for him, or if all the authors have it, and he didn't bother to ask, and directly started counting the money.

In fact, it is more appropriate to leave this matter to an adult, after all, he has small hands now, and it is very inconvenient to light it.

But now after all, everyone is watching, and Yuren Ueno is there. As the original author of the comics, he must have to go through the manuscript fee again.

It took more than ten minutes to carefully count the banknotes in front of him three times, and after thinking that he was not wrong, he temporarily handed over the money to his mother and asked her to continue to count twice. He himself grabbed a pen and wrote his name on the receipt.

"Whew-"

Watching him sign his name, Yuto Ueno let out a long sigh.

"It's finally no problem like this, Zhang Jun, you don't know, with so many banknotes on me, my pressure is also very high. You didn't leave your bank account before, and we couldn't find a way to send you money, so I had to carry it with me. I was scared all the way, for fear that I would lose the money. That's 600,000 yen, which is equivalent to a year's salary, and if I lose it, I really have the heart to die. ”

Maybe it was alcohol, or maybe it was really under a lot of pressure, and after confirming that the manuscript fee had been received by Zhang Han, Yuto Ueno couldn't help but start pouring bitter water.

"I'm still underage and can't open a bank account yet. And even if I can handle it, you can't send me money directly. ”

Zhang Han is also a lot more relaxed, the comics finally have income, he has been waiting for nearly half a month, and now he finally sees the fruit, and it is a big fruit.

"There's going to be a way, it's better than that. Or you can tell me your family's bank account, anyway, I don't bring money like this anymore, it's too stressful. ”

Yuto Ueno said with a look of trepidation, waving his hand as he spoke, to show his firm position.
