Chapter 9 Scrambled eggs with tomatoes

"Sister, you're back, are you okay?" Seeing Shanshan come back, Wenwen hurriedly rushed up and asked.

Shanshan shook her head and replied, "It's okay, in fact, I don't think this Mr. Monet is a bad person!" ”

"Oh? So what does he do? Wenwen asked curiously.

"He's a writer and he's writing novels all day, so he doesn't have time to cook, so he has to hire a cook. By the way, you see that there is a serialized novel by him in the New York Post, and this is it! Shanshan took out a copy of the New York Post, pointed to the "Titanic" on it, and said to Wenwen.

Although Wenwen couldn't read, he still sighed: "Oh, it turns out that Mr. Monet is so powerful, no wonder people are so good." ”

Shanshan nodded and agreed: "Well, Mr. Monet is indeed a good person, he not only allowed me to take the leftovers with me, but also taught me a particularly delicious dish, you can taste it, it is this tomato scrambled egg." With that, Shanshan opened the lunch box that had just been placed on the table.

Wenwen looked at it and said, "Well, it looks delicious, red, yellow and yellow, and there are only tomatoes and eggs, but it is really a veritable tomato scrambled egg!" ”

"It tastes better!" Sansa encouraged from the side.

Wenwen took a bite and exclaimed: "It's really delicious, sweet and sour, but it's a pity that it's a little cold!" ”

"That's right, it's better when it's just out of the pot!" Shansa added as she spoke.

"I really didn't expect that tomatoes and eggs could be so delicious when scrambled together, why didn't anyone think of it before?" Wenwen sighed while eating.

"Because Monsieur Monet is smart, otherwise how could a novel written by someone else be in the newspaper? But it's a pity that Mr. Monet also said that it is because this dish is too simple, as long as you know how to cook a little, you can make it as long as you eat it once, otherwise you can open a restaurant by yourself with this dish alone, so Mr. Monet asked us to give this dish to Uncle Feng, saying that he can take care of us more in the future! ”

"This Monsieur Monet is such a nice man! I knew I was going to cook for him with my sister, so we could make fifteen dollars a month! Wenwen said with some regret.

Unexpectedly, Shanshan shook her head and replied: "From the current point of view, he is indeed a good person, but for the sake of prudence, it is better to observe for a while, after all, I have such a relative as you left, I dare not watch you take risks!"

Okay, don't talk about this, do you need me to warm it up for you? ”

"No need, the rice is hot, can't you just mix these dishes into it?"

A few days later, Monet finally wrote the beginning of "The Treasure in the Declaration of Independence", so he found the editor-in-chief Russell again, but Russell said to Monet before he could read it: "Tony, in fact, even if you don't come to me today, I want to go to you!" ”

"Oh? What are you looking for me? Monet asked curiously.

"Well, I have good news and bad news here, which one do you want to hear first?" Russell asked rhetorically.

"Then let's hear the good news first!" Monet replied casually.

"That's what you said about this "In Vain" sold out, do you know how many copies were sold? There are 3,000 copies, and there are still a lot of orders, and now the printing house is almost busy! Russell said excitedly.

Monet was prepared for this news, because if he didn't know this book and it was at this point in time when the Titanic had just had an accident, he would probably have bought a copy curiously, so he asked: "Then congratulations on making a lot of money, right, what about the bad news?" Has someone started piracy? ”

Russell waved his hand and said: "Piracy is normal, in fact, even I am a pirate, I want to say that the author of this book, Mr. Morgan Robinson, committed suicide, and I wanted to interview him for me through a friend in London, but I didn't expect to learn the bad news!" ”

Although Monet had known about this for a long time, it was inconvenient to know it now, so he pretended to be "shocked" and asked, "What?!" Did Mr. Robinson commit suicide? What did heβ€”why did he commit suicide? ”

"No one knows about this, but coincidentally, it seems that he committed suicide after he knew that the Titanic sank, do you think this is strange?" Russell replied with a frown.

Monet pretended to be "contemplative" for a while, and then slowly spoke: "I have a bold conjecture! ”

"What conjecture?" Russell asked curiously.

Monet replied in a deep voice: "Do you think that this Mr. Robinson would have known that the Titanic would sink, so he deliberately wrote this book, the purpose is to prevent this tragedy, but the result is still not successful, the Titanic is still sinking, and many people are still killed!" ”

"Mr. Robinson knew for a long time that the Titanic would sink? How is this possible? His book "In Vain" was written in 1895! Russell retorted.

But what if he was going back to 1895 from the present or even the future? This can explain why he was able to write the entire sinking process of the Titanic in such detail and truth! Monet guided.

Russell digested it for a few seconds, and then couldn't help but "hiss" and said, "You, your conjecture is too bold, Tony, I feel like you can write a science fiction novel like Verne!" ”

"My conjectures have always been very bold, don't believe you look at the story I brought this time!" Monet leads to the point.

Russell then remembered that Monet had come to submit a manuscript to him today, so he looked down at the manuscript, but as soon as he saw the title, he couldn't help but exclaim: "The treasure in the Declaration of Independence"? Tony, your conjecture is really bold enough, but the question is, how can there be treasure hidden in the Declaration of Independence? ”

Monet shrugged and replied, "Of course, there is no treasure in the Declaration of Independence, otherwise how could I have written it and made it public?" I've been digging for treasure by myself a long time ago, okay? ”

Russell was immediately blocked by Monet's explanation and couldn't refute it, because what Monet said was indeed very reasonable......

PS: I suddenly thought of a paragraph I saw a few days ago: "In order to save their lives, I, who had known the plot for a long time, desperately shouted for them not to board the Titanic, but they not only listened to me, but also kicked me out of the movie theater......"

PS2: Who invented the tomato scrambled egg, it seems that it is impossible to find out, but it must be a matter of nearly a hundred years, and it is likely to be Chinese.
