Chapter 46: This Is What My Dad Taught Me in Hawaii
The car drove slowly for a long time, and finally arrived at the door of a Chinese restaurant. As soon as I walked into the restaurant, it seemed that even the air was condensed, Taku Takenaka was not rich in his previous life, and he had never been to a hotel with such a luxurious decoration, but he didn't expect that he would have a chance to enjoy it after becoming poorer in this life.
Even he was a little stunned, not to mention Miwako Akihara, a junior high school girl who didn't know anything. She was now tugging at the corners of her clothes, following her without leaving her. When he looked back, the little girl's face looked incredulous, as if she had won five million in the lottery ticket.
He didn't expect the Chinese restaurant to be so high-end in Neon, he looked at the decoration of the store, and only felt that there was a strange antique atmosphere, and the tables and chairs on the side seemed to be mahogany. He touched the handle of the staircase, and he also felt that it was very strong, and it didn't look cheap!
"The seat I booked is inside...... Let's go in first, Mr. Takenaka? Mayu Ishisaka poked him in the shoulder and smiled widely.
Although this Takenaka teacher seems to be very mature and stable in both behavior and conversation, not like an ordinary high school student, but if you really look at the consumption level, he is really just the level of an ordinary high school student, so it is very simple to use the money ability to close the relationship between the two sides!
So she generously led Taku Takenaka and the others into the box, and after the two sat on the wooden chairs, she also sat down.
Then Ishisaka Mayu took the menu from the waiter and said, "Takenaka-sensei, you can order whatever you want." ”
After glancing at the menu a few times with some embarrassment, she thought to herself that this Takenaka teacher didn't know much about Chinese food, so she wanted to take the initiative to order it herself.
However, before she could speak, Taku Takenaka took another menu from the waiter, glanced at the menu, looked up again, and found that the badge hanging on the waiter's chest had a Chinese name written on it, presumably a student of the Celestial Empire, so he said in Chinese: "Let's have a sweet and sour tenderloin and three bowls of rice to cushion the stomach, and then a bowl of cod tofu soup." Two dishes should be enough to eat, if not enough, I'll order again, it's troublesome. ”
The waiter didn't expect a neon man to order food in Chinese, and he was stunned for a long time, and then he responded a few words in a panic and hurriedly walked out of the box.
It was not only the waiter who was stunned, in addition to Miwako Akihara, an uninformed little girl, Mayu Ishisaka was also stunned, she paused and wondered: "Teacher Takenaka, do you speak Chinese?" ”
"Well, I studied privately for a while before, and it seems that the effect is not bad." He covered it up with a sloppy look, and there were indeed many people in Neon who were interested in the Celestial Empire, and there were even more people who taught Chinese on their own, which was not surprising.
I still want to find a part-time translator in the future, and Ishizaka must have a similar way, and he is now thorough so that he can trouble this young editor when the time comes.
Mayu Ishisaka nodded and said, "Oh, I heard that you only ordered two dishes just now, will it be a little insufficient?" ”
"If it's not enough, it's good to order more." Taku Takenaka shook his head, "After all, this time it's Ishizaka Editor, you invited me to dinner with my sister, and you can't break the bank too much." ”
Although he came with the intention of rubbing rice, he didn't want to eat Ishisaka Mayuki in one go, and it was enough to eat a big meal.
The Chinese restaurant was not served quickly, Taku Takenaka took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, and it was estimated that he would have to wait for another ten minutes, so he memorized the English words again. Although this software is not very good, it can barely have the effect of memorizing words, and if you really want to say it, it is still passable.
Miwako Akihara looked curiously at the decoration in the box, she hadn't been idle since she came in, and she had been wandering around.
"Mr. Takenaka, did I tell you about the delivery time?" Ishisaka Mayuki put down his phone and walked towards Takudo Takenaka, "The standard for each volume of light novels is 80,000 words, you should know about this." ”
Ishisaka Mayu just helped him contact the artist on the Internet, and the other party asked when the delivery date was, so the young editor naturally remembered that he hadn't told the author under him about it, but now it's not too late to say anything!
"Well, I know it all." Taku Takenaka nodded, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of the free tea, although the tea was bitter, but the thought of being free made me feel sweet.
He didn't quite understand why the editor suddenly asked this question, but it was probably related to himself. He wrote exactly 85,000 words in the first volume, which is more than 80,000 words, but it is within the specifications, and there should not be too many problems.
Could it be that Mayu Ishisaka felt that the number of words in the first volume of this book was a little short?
So he wondered, "Editor Ishizaka, is there something wrong?" I don't think I wrote a lot of words in this first volume. ”
It shouldn't be.,I'm writing it according to the flow of the game.,It's just a little changed to the rhythm of the light novel.。 Theoretically, it came to an abrupt end at the first climax, when Gunlon's hypothesis that the telephone microwave oven was a time machine, which shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Ishisaka Mayuki hurriedly waved his hand in defense and said, "When I was here to help you contact the artist, the other party wanted to ask how often you would submit the manuscript. ”
Illustration is a very important factor for light novels, and reputable illustrators will also make the sales of light novels higher, which can be regarded as complementary in a sense.
However, because of this, some light novelists who are a mess of writing will choose to find a famous illustrator to help them draw illustrations, and in this way, they will increase sales, so that they will also spread the title of toilet paper. In fact, many illustrators have regular partners and long-term relationships with certain authors, but Taku Takenaka doesn't need to think about it that much.
Although he is now favored by Mayuki Ishizaka, he is just a rookie author, and eighty percent of the people who illustrate him are rookie illustrators, so he can't have too much hope for this.
Taku Takenaka said a little stiffly: "If you're on my side, can you submit the manuscript once a month?" ”
He originally thought that writing about 80,000 words a month was quite a grinding level, but Ishizaka Mayuki looked at him with a surprised look as if he had seen a ghost: "Mr. Takenaka, you can just pay it once every two months." If you submit the manuscript once a month, the artist may not be able to complete the task......"
Taku Takenaka glanced at Mayu Ishisaka with a black line on his head and said, "I understand, just send it directly to your mailbox." ”
