Chapter 21: The First Time of the Yarn Mist
When he got home, Zuo Xiaoyou told Sawu the news of the comic book of the new book.
"Really?" Saki was pleasantly surprised, although she was the illustrator of the new book, Kagurazaka Iris didn't tell her the news in advance, and she thought it would be better for Zuo Xiaoyou to tell her personally.
"yes!" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "On Saturday morning, I will go to the library to negotiate a comic contract, and in the evening, I will invite Miss Kagurazaka to eat barbecue, and I may come back very late, if it is too late, don't wait for me, go to bed early." ”
"Ahh Samist nodded, then looked at him fixedly.
"What's wrong?"
Sawu shook his head and said, "I just think my brother is getting more and more powerful." ”
Hearing this, he smiled, and gently stroked his hand on the gauze mist head: "No matter how powerful I am, I am your brother." ”
Saki's face was flushed, and her head was down, but she was smiling.
……
Before I knew it, it was Friday, and after school that day, Zuo Xiaoyou said hello to An Yilunya and Megumi Kato, and took the lead in going home to prepare dinner.
Not long after arriving home, the Yamada fairy ran over, but looked panicked: "My servant, help me." ”
“……”
Zuo Xiaoyou silently tied his apron and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I didn't do anything." Yamada Fairy said dissatisfied: "It's the Great Demon King who has come down with his men to arrest me, my servant, the time has come to test your loyalty to Miss Ben, protect me." ”
"The Great Demon King?" Zuo Xiaoyou has a question mark in his head: "What the hell are you talking about?" ”
"Tsk, it's not handsome at all." The Yamada fairy became more and more dissatisfied, but finally said something: "It was my editor-in-charge who came over to urge the draft." ”
"Oh." What did Zuo Xiaoyou think, it turned out to be an editor's reminder.
Unlike the Great Song Dynasty, Japanese publishers publish books that are to be distributed regularly, and if the work is not completed within the deadline, the consequences can be very serious, so every ten days before the deadline, the editor will call the author in charge of him and ask him if the manuscript has been completed. If it's done, you'll be happy, but if you don't, then congratulations, the editors who used to be kind to you will be very 'enthusiastic' to invite you to work in an enclosed space.
When the work is done and when it will be released. But if it's not done when the time comes, that's fine, unless you're really talented and your work is very popular, otherwise you probably won't have a chance to publish it in the future.
What is the use of a writer who has no talent, whose works are not popular, and who still procrastinates?
Before Zuo Xiaoyou crossed over, this body was also a writer with limited talent and his works were not very popular, but his advantage was that he wrote quickly, and the editor in charge never had to worry about not being able to complete his work before the deadline. Not only was he not worried, but because he wrote too fast, Kagura Saka didn't know whether to laugh or laugh.
Of course, this is also the reason why Kagurazaka Iris has always cared so much about Zuo Xiaoyou, after all, which editor in charge doesn't like a diligent author! Talent can be improved through accumulated learning and experience, and if the work is not popular, it is only not popular at the moment, and maybe a popular work will be written one day in the future!
Do you know which clouds have rain?
And the 'left little right' did not live up to Kagura Saka's expectations, with the fire of the new book, Kagura Saka Iris has been raising her eyebrows in recent days, and she is also very pleased with the growth of Zuo Xiaoyou, and there is an honor.
And Yamada Fairy and Zuo Xiaoyou are a completely opposite author, Yamada Fairy is not only talented, but also the works he writes are also very popular, the first light cumulative sales of more than 2.2 million copies, which is also very rare in the entire industry.
But there is only one thing, Yamada Fairy is an author who will never finish on time. In the past two years, Yamada Fairy has been edited by her before the deadline every year, and her own brother has personally come to supervise it, and if she doesn't finish the manuscript, don't think about any entertainment. Although she has been taught again and again, she has been taught repeatedly, which makes her brother have a headache.
And the Yamada goblin has five days to reach the deadline for the next volume, but the Yamada goblin didn't code half a word, so her brother ran over with two big men to block the door. And the Yamada goblin saw the opportunity quickly, and ran to Zuo Xiaoyou's house for refuge as soon as possible. But she forgot one thing, she was taking refuge, but she was dictating to the owner of the shelter, and the end was usually not good.
A few minutes later, Yamada Fairy's editor in charge and his brother, Yamada Chris, a young man with long blond hair and a long elven prince, arrived with two big men and captured Yamada Fairy.
"Damn, you traitor, you actually betrayed me!" The Yamada goblin, who was caught by two big men, one left and one right, struggled violently, but how could her little arms and legs break free, and she could only scold in anger.
Yamada Chris bowed to Zuo Xiaoyou and thanked him: "Thank you for the notice, excuse me." ”
"It's okay." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I also want to see Mr. Yamada's new work as soon as possible, so please be sure to urge Mr. Yamada to finish the manuscript as soon as possible, and I will definitely buy it after it is put on the shelves." ”
"Damn! Because of this, you betrayed me, and I hate you to death! "The Yamada fairy is going to cry.
Zuo Xiaoyou shrugged his shoulders and watched the four of them get into the car and leave, presumably the Yamada goblins would be locked up in the next few days.
It's okay to do this, she runs over every day to eat and drink, and she doesn't give money.
……
Around six o'clock in the evening, Ryūya Yasu, Megumi Kato, Shiha Kasumigaoka and Hideri Sawamura arrived one after another. Of course, there were no empty hands, some brought snacks, some brought drinks, and some brought beautiful girl game CDs, no need to ask, it must have been An Yilun who also brought it. What made Zuo Xiaoyou even more helpless, An Yilun did not give gifts, but borrowed Zuo Xiaoyou's game console and place to preach to Megumi Kato.
"Should I throw Lun out too?"
Zuo Xiaoyou's words were unanimously supported by Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Yingli Li, and Kato Megumi said calmly: "An Yijun is not good to do this kind of thing in Zuojun's house!" ”
An Yilun also knelt on the ground sweating profusely and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, please don't do this." ”
After all, it was just a little spice in life, and everyone didn't take it seriously, and Zuo Xiaoyou also brought dinner to the table. Because of the limited time, Zuo Xiaoyou prepared the most popular hot pot in the Great Song Dynasty, a spicy hot pot chicken with two white striped chickens.
Because of the lack of materials in Japan, many things need to be imported, so the price is very high, these two white chickens in the Great Song Dynasty, at most forty or fifty Song coins, but in Japan, the left and the right cost more than 3,000 yen, equivalent to one hundred and eighty Song coins. If we only calculate from the purchasing power of parity, the quality of life of the Japanese people is really not much better than that of the Great Song people.
However, this is not something that Zuo Xiaoyou needs to consider, after all, he has just started more than 5 million manuscript fees, and he is about to comics, so this little money is nothing at all. In addition to the white striped chicken, Zuo Xiaoyou also prepared several shabu-shabu dishes, and at the same time re-fried the shortbread baked last night with oil, which was fragrant and got unanimous praise from everyone as soon as it was served.
However, because it was a hot pot, Zuo Xiaoyou definitely couldn't open a pot for Shawu alone, so this time, under the persuasion of Zuo Xiaoyou, Shawu mustered up the courage to walk out of the room, and saw someone other than Zuo Xiaoyou for the first time in two years.
When the yarn fog appeared, everyone was stunned.
"Good...... So cute! Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Ying Riri's eyes were shining, obviously unable to resist the charm of the veil. And Megumi Kato looked at the gauze fog hiding behind the left and right, revealing only half of his body, thoughtfully.
"Wow! I didn't expect the sister of the teacher to be so cute. An Yilun was also very excited: "It's so cute, she deserves to be the sister of the teacher, and she must be a great beauty who will not lose to the senior sister and Yingli pear in the future." ”
"Ah, I didn't expect Ethics Jun to be so good at talking." Kasumigaoka Shiha pulled her hair back and smiled faintly at the corners of her mouth. Although An Yilun is also praising Samist, judging from the content, he praised Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Yingli Pear together.
Also called a great beauty by An Yilun, Ying Lili's face turned red, and she said arrogantly: "He is not blind in his eyes, he just tells the truth, nothing is great." ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled slightly, but didn't say anything.
Zuo Xiaoyou said with a little apology: "I'm sorry, because my parents died unexpectedly two years ago, so that Shawu was hit hard, I haven't been out of the room for the past two years, and I've been afraid of seeing people, if there is anything rude, please forgive me." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Ying Lili hurriedly said: "Actually, Sister Sawu is already very strong, if it were me, maybe I would have had a nervous breakdown." ”
"Sawamura-san, have you finally admitted that you are cowardly!" Kasumigaoka Shiyu did not forget to fight this golden retriever dog at such a time.
"Kasumigaoka Shiha! What nonsense are you talking about! The unwilling Ying Li Li immediately fought back, and the two of them quarreled again as usual, but Xia Zhiqiu Shi Yuyun responded lightly, and Ying Li Li scolded angrily and made a judgment.
"Today is the first time Sister Sawu has seen outsiders, can Sister Kasumigaoka and Ying Lili not quarrel?" Megumi Kato's voice suddenly sounded, although it was not loud, but it made the two people in the quarrel instantly still. Both of them looked at her with incredible eyes, and they couldn't believe that Megumi Kato, who had been invisible in the past, would suddenly stand up and brush her sense of existence angrily.
An Yilun was also very shocked by this: "Kato, you ......"
"I'm sorry, I just didn't want to scare Sister Saki." Megumi Kato looked at Saki with gentle eyes and smiled: "Hello Sister Saki, I'm Megumi Kato, your brother's friend." ”
"......" Saki opened her mouth, and although she wanted to say something, she didn't say anything.
A big hand pressed on Sha Wu's head, Sha Wu turned his head and saw Zuo Xiaoyou's gentle smiling face: "Sha Wu, they are all my best friends, don't be afraid." ”
"......" Saki pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and then said to Megumi Kato: "I...... I'm Saki Izumi, hello. ”
Although the voice was small, everyone heard her clearly because the scene was quiet. Megumi Kato's smile was even gentler: "Sister Sawu can still walk down strong after experiencing such a thing, it's amazing!" ”
"I didn't ...... No. Suddenly being praised made Sawu's face blush, but there was some joy in his heart: "The really powerful brother is my brother, my brother has been taking care of me for the past two years and has been supporting this family, if there is no brother, maybe I ...... I ......"
Seeing that Shawu was about to cry, everyone opened their mouths to comfort, and praised Shawu and Zuo Xiaoyou for being very strong, and they were the object of their learning. Even so, Zuo Xiaoright is already very relieved, at least one step forward, isn't it!
"Okay, the hot pot has been opened, everyone can eat whatever they like, open up and eat!" Zuo Xiaoyou lifted the lid of the pot, a white steam soared, and the aroma also spread, making everyone cry.
"Speaking of which, spicy hot pot chicken is the way to eat in the Great Song Dynasty, which is not quite the same as the oden we usually eat!" An Yilun also sandwiched a muscle into a vinegar bowl with garlic and said happily.
Zuo Xiaoyou said with a smile: "The difference is basically in the materials, there are many ways to eat the hot pot in the Great Song Dynasty, the common one is the heavy taste of the spicy pot, this kind of spicy pot is common in the Sichuan-Guizhou region, because the Sichuan-Guizhou area is humid, so eating the spicy pot can help the human body discharge moisture." The other is the common mutton shabu in the northern region, the mutton shabu mainly relies on the hot pot base to cover up the fishy smell of the mutton, and then dip it in the prepared sauce, the taste is very delicious, not spicy, but the price is much more expensive than the spicy pot. ”
"Why?" The crowd was puzzled.
"Because lamb is much more expensive than chicken." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said: "A pound of mutton is about forty or fifty pieces, and a pound of chicken is only a dozen pieces." ”
"Big Song coins? I see. Everyone said a few times, but after calculating the exchange rate, they found that the mutton didn't seem to be too expensive, forty or fifty yuan, and it was only seven or eight hundred yuan when converted into Japanese dollars.
"That's the price in Da Song." Zuo Xiaoyou said with a smile: "The Great Song Dynasty is a big land, and everything can be self-sufficient, so the price is very low, and the mutton is forty or fifty yuan in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is put in Japan...... I'm sure you've all been to the store! How much is the beef and mutton marked in the store, don't you count it in your heart? ”
As soon as Zuo Xiaoyou said this, everyone was speechless. Compared with the price of goods, Japan is more than three or four times higher than that of the Great Song Dynasty, so the average Japanese regular employee has 300,000 yen per month, which is converted into 17,500 yuan in Song coins, but the quality of life is similar to that of people in the Great Song Dynasty with a monthly salary of four or five thousand. If it is a Song Dynasty person living in a small city, the quality of life with a salary of four or five thousand is quite good, not to mention anything else, even if there is meat in the stew, in addition to the messy living expenses in a month, three thousand yuan will definitely be lived.
It is absolutely impossible to put it in Japan, 3,000 Song coins, it is good to be able to eat enough in Japan. If you want to eat meat, you have to go with the dog to grab food. Therefore, living in Japan, unless you have sufficient financial resources, it is really better to live comfortably in the Great Song Dynasty.
