Chapter VII
The so-called men and women are not tired of working together, probably referring to the current situation.
In the originally simple room, because of the relationship between a beautiful girl, it suddenly became a little more colorful, and even when Yan Shao worked, he had a little more strength.
On the other side, looking at the code words that Yan Shao was concentrating on there, Elaline, who was translating the manuscript here, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
She was not worried that Yan Shao would attack her, but that if this kind of thing really happened, what would she do to hurt him not so badlyββββββ after all, now Uncle Tarys's publishing house is waiting for the manuscript to be saved, which Elaline knows very well.
As for the rest? Although he is a little curious about Yan Shao, a Chinese, Elano is most concerned about work at the moment.
After coding words on a typewriter for a long time, Yan Shao moved his fingers.
"It's not convenient to have a computer..."
Although the speed of using a typewriter is definitely faster than handwriting, it is not as convenient to use as a computer in later generationsββββββ especially the input method, which is easy to use, and some words even only need a few letters to be enough, which is a hundred times better than the typewriter of this era.
What's more, if the typewriter in this era is typed wrong, there is no way to modify it, so he can only retype, and after half a day, Yan Shao is not only tired of his hands, but even his brain is a little confused.
"Give..."
Just as Yan Shao was sitting there rubbing his head, Elaline handed over a cup of coffee from the side.
Seeing Yan Shao looking back at himself, Elaine smiled slightly.
"Grab a coffee and refresh yourself..."
Although Elano is only a translator, in some ways she is not much different from an assistant. In addition, Tharris's publishing house now needs to rely on this manuscript to save it, and as Tharris's niece, Elaline also has the responsibility to help Yan Shao improve his work efficiency.
And then...
When Yan Shao was tired, helping to make a cup of coffee was naturally indispensable.
"Xie Lu Xie..."
took the coffee, Yan Shao took a sip and put it aside.
Seeing this scene, Elaline frowned in surprise.
"What, isn't it to your taste?" Then he said suddenly. "By the way, I forgot that you are Chinese, I should get you a cup of tea..."
Seeing that he had been misunderstood, Yan Shao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"No, actually, whether it's coffee, tea, or wine, I don't really like it..."
This is Yan Shao's rare truth, before he crossed over, Yan Shao didn't like these three types of things very much, and naturally nothing will change in this era.
Elaline could see that Yan Shao was not lying, so he frowned a little when he heard him say this.
"That..."
"Ahem, I actually like to drink juice..."
Yan Shao was a little embarrassed when he said this, after all, he was also 20 years old.
In fact, at some gatherings in later generations, people around him were drinking, and he and some children drank juice and other drinks, which would seem a little out of place. However, everyone who knows knows that he doesn't like to drink, so he usually doesn't force it, and if it's really the kind that can't be pushed, then Yan Shao can only pinch his nose and drink down, but fortunately, Yan Shao just doesn't like to drink, and the amount of alcohol is not bad, so he hasn't encountered any problems.
Hearing Yan Shao say this, a trace of surprise flashed in Elaine's eyes.
"What juice do you like to drink?"
"Huh?"
Yan Shao, who was a little embarrassed, raised his head, a little confused.
After talking to each other, Yan Shao realized that Elaline also likes drinks like fruit juice like her, not coffee, tea or alcohol, and she is often laughed at by her classmates at school for this matter, and it is also because of this relationship that she will seem a little happy after hearing that Yan Shao also likes juiceββββββ she will meet the same kind.
Because of this relationship, the relationship between the two has become much closer.
Eleno didn't know what Lu Dao thought in his heart, but Yan Shaozhi was a little happy. After all, Yan Shao is not the one that Hui Yanagishita, well, cough cough, that's what it means anyway.
Yan Shao is not Yanashita Hui, there is such a beautiful woman sitting next to him, if he doesn't have any thoughts in his heart, then he is definitely a man who is physically and mentally abnormal, and even his sexual orientation may have some problems.
Now that he has such an excuse to get close to Elino, Yan Shao will naturally not be unhappy.
ββββββββββββββββββββ
A relatively good start made the relationship between the two people a little closer.
Of course, the so-called closeness is just a relationship from strangers to friends, as for the rest, Yan Shao can YY in his mind when he sleeps, but when he wakes up, he will face the cruel reality...
Cough...
With Elano's help, Yan Shao's work went much smoother, and in a short time, the first manuscript was translated by Elaline and sent to Tharis's publishing house.
When he got the manuscript, Taris was a treasure trove of money, and he soon began to arrange for its publication.
As for Yan Shao? It was the beginning of the third part of "Tarzan of the Apes" and the second part of "The Lord of the Rings"...
At this time, Yan Shao already had some ideas in his heart, for example, to divide some of the money he earned to fund the revolutionary parties at home and abroadββββββ although according to Yan Shao's understanding of these revolutionary parties in later generations, those so-called subsidies are likely to be wasted...
Anyway, what Yan Shao needs most at the moment is money and fame, and both of which he can bring with this manuscript in his hand, plus there is a beautiful girl next to him to supervise him, Yan Shao's efficiency has more than doubled...
Yan Shao's side coded words, Elainor's side translated, and the cooperation between the two was quite tacit.
On the other hand, after the first part of the trilogy, "The Fellowship of the Ring", was successfully published, everything was as Yan Shao and Taris thought, and the whole novel quickly became a hot seller. The first printing of more than 10,000 copies was sold out in just over a month, and although the people at the publishing house had to work overtime to arrange the reprinting, everyone had a smile on their faces when they were busy.
With the reprinting of the novel, a large amount of francs also entered Yan Shao's wallet, counting the income brought by the first two books, Yan Shao already had a net worth of thousands of pounds at this time.
Thousands of pounds may not seem like much, but if it is converted into silver dollars, there are tens of thousands of dollars, which can be regarded as a small wealth. What's more, Tarys also made it very clear that after the end of this reprinting, I am afraid that it will be reprinted a few times to meet the demand, and counting the income brought by the first two novels, Yan Shao does not need to worry about money in a short period of time.
And after getting the Nth manuscript fee, Yan Shao, who is more or less a rich man, also invited Elaline to a nearby restaurant for a mealββββββ the so-called full and warm thoughts**, now that the problem of food and clothing has been solved, Yan Shao naturally began to think in other directions.
In the face of Yan Shao's invitation, Elaline did not refuse.
When the two of them walked into the hotel, the waiter in the hotel was obviously taken aback, after all, even in Marseille yellow people are rare, not to mention that there is an extremely beautiful woman next to this yellow person.
Although it was a little awkward to let a yellow man in, the waiter still arranged a good place for them for the sake of the large number of francs.
Yan Shao's stomach is most suitable for Chinese food, French food or something is just fresh, so the second half basically depends on Elanor's play. And when the two finished eating and were about to go back, they encountered a little trouble.
Although "Tarzan of the Apes" is also good, it did not bring much fame to Yan Shao except for a sum of money that was urgently needed at the time. However, the book "The Lord of the Rings" made Yan Shao more or less a celebrity in Marseille, at least a few people in this hotel recognized Yan Shao.
When Yan Shao and Elaline were about to leave, a few people even gathered around Yan Shao with the "Lord of the Rings" to ask for autographs.
In the face of those enthusiastic fans, as well as the whispers around him, Yan Shao's vanity was satisfied, and naturally he would not let those people downββββββ although from beginning to end, he was just a copyist...
Money, fame, and a few enthusiastic fans came up to ask for autographs when they went out, and for Yan Shao, things have developed to this point quite well.
While perfecting "The Lord of the Rings", Yan Shao did not forget to create several works that were completely his own.
Isn't there such a saying? Familiar with 300 Tang poems, I can't chant poems.
has copied a number of classic works in a row, which also inspired Yan Shao to a certain extent.
While working on The Lord of the Rings, Yan Shao also submitted several short science fiction stories to Tharris's publishing house. For people in this era, Yan Shao's original era was originally like the world in science fiction, and even more science fiction than the science fiction writers of this era imagined.
So although the level is too bad, it has actually received some praise, and finally did not disgrace the two gods Edgar Rice Burroughs and John Ronald Ruel Tolkien...
"Whew, it's finally done..."
Putting the manuscript away, Yan Shao sat in his seat and stretched.
Because of the reprinting again and again, even Yan Shao can't remember how many times "The Fellowship of the Ring" has been reprinted. However, it is precisely because of the hot sale of "The Fellowship of the Ring" that Tarys is urging the second "Two Towers" more and more urgently.
I have to say that when choosing an assistant for Yan Shao, Tharis did have a lot of foresight, and actually chose Elaline to be Yan Shao's assistant, cough, it can also be said to be a translator...
After getting along for a period of time, the relationship between Yan Shao and Ileno is already quite good, and Eleno herself is a rare beauty. So every time Yan Shao wanted to be lazy, he had to cheer up again in the face of the dutiful Elainor.
Although Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy is very famous, it actually does not have a lot of words, and the sum of the three is only a few hundred thousand words, and a single part is only more than 100,000 words, plus this book is basically recorded in Yan Shao's mind, so although the typewriter in this era is not as easy to use as the keyboard, Yan Shao only took more than a month to write this more than 100,000 words of "The Two Towers", which is naturally not something to boast about in later generations, after all, if you are familiar with the content, It's also quite normal to have 10,000 words a day, but in this day and age, it's really quite amazing...
