"Eat"?" Zheng Yuan looked at the big words in front of the screen, a little confused.

Just listening to the name, it's almost the same as a food-themed novel, and that's the name of a horror novel?

Is it appropriate?

"May I ask the tree man, this "eat" ...... What is the meaning? ”

"In other words, these three short stories are all about food."

"I can think of it as food-related when I look at the name, but is this really a horror theme?"

"It seems that there has never been a similar theme before......" Speaking of this, Zheng Yuan was suddenly stunned.

It has never been before, that is, the tree man is going to create a new avenue of terror?

It was true that it wasn't before, but that's why Zheng Yi wanted to write it.

No, it's fresh.

"Can you tell me the general plot?"

"I'll send it to you after I'm done, after all, it's a short story, and the story is relatively simple."

Zheng Yi replied a few more words, and then went offline to ponder about the new book.

The inspiration for this new book came from the long-opened braised goose shop in the snack street outside the school gate, and it was the unpleasantness brought by the proprietress that reminded him of a horror novel with the theme of braised goose.

There is a very powerful female writer on Hong Kong Island named Li Bihua.

What a bull this is?

One only has to look at the films adapted from her works to get a glimpse of it.

Director Chen's masterpiece, the original author of "Farewell My Concubine" is her.

The original author of "Green Snake" is her, yes, it is the version of "Dawei Tianlong" by Wang Zuxian and Maggie Cheung.

Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung starring two old immortals "Rouge Buckle" is also her original work.

There is also a rare starring work of the national teacher Lao Mouzi, "The Love of the Qin Warriors in the Ancient and Modern Wars", which is also her original work.

Most of these works are mainly about romance, but this one is actually quite talented in horror novels.

There is a famous Hong Kong Island horror film called "Three Watches: Dumplings", starring Leung Ka-fai and Miriam Yeung, which is adapted from her famous work "Dumplings".

But in fact, "Dumplings" is not just a novel, but the name of a collection of five novels.

It contains five chapters: "Chaozhou Lane", "Key", "Looking for Egg Tart", "Cat Willow Spring Sleep Water Seed Jizo" and "Dumplings".

Each of the five novels is unrelated and unique.

Among them, Chaozhou Lane, the name of the chapter is "The Woman Who Eats the Brine Goose".

plus the very famous "Dumplings", which are two of Zheng Yi's three short stories this time.

Because in addition to the theme of food and women, these two books also take the horror atmosphere to the limit.

As for the last part of the novel, Zheng Yi also chose works that share the same theme as these two novels.

This is used to compose a brand new novel, "Eat"!

And Zheng Yi decided to start with "The Woman Who Ate the Brine Goose".

This story is actually not long, only more than 10,000 words in total, and it is a standard short story.

But the content is chilling.

It's like under the calm sea, there are countless great white sharks quietly staring at surfers.

It's suffocating.

The content of more than 10,000 words was quickly completed in the hands of Zheng Yi today, and it was sent to Zheng Yuan.

At this time, Zheng Yuan was anxiously waiting at his workstation.

In fact, just now he wanted to tell the editor-in-chief that the tree man was going to open a new book, after all, the current tree man is a big man who can hold the entire black hole literature in the palm of his hand.

But the editor-in-chief seems to have been entertaining guests, and he is not easy to disturb.

I was anxious to wait, but now the tree man sent the article over, and I just happened to be able to read the manuscript first, which is a beautiful thing.

More than 10,000 words, even if you read carefully, you can read it in an hour.

For an hour, Zheng Yuan sat at his workstation in a daze and did not move.

"Zheng Bian, you don't eat overtime, let's order takeout together."

"A roast meat shop has just opened nearby, their roast goose is good, you don't eat it, we will help you call ......"

"Don't eat it!" Before the other party finished speaking, Zheng Yuan shouted loudly, and he was disgusted after speaking.

"Vomit !!"

If you don't eat it, you won't eat it, as for the reaction...... The colleagues on the side were puzzled.

"I advise you not to eat roast goose, it's best not to eat any goose, you will know the specific reason in a few days, believe me."

After all, after reading the novel of the tree man, who can still eat the goose Nima!

This "The Woman Who Eats the Brine Goose" is about this goose!

At first, Zheng Yuan was still thinking, how to combine food and horror?

Now that he has finished reading this novel, he feels that it is better not to combine.

Because I can't eat after reading it!

The story of "The Woman Who Eats the Brine Goose" is not complicated.

It begins with a TV interview, describing an old braised goose shop that has been open for 47 years.

All diners praise its deliciousness, and the secret of this braised goose's deliciousness is in the marinade.

The protagonist of the story is a young woman named Xie Yueming, whose mother is the owner of this braised goose shop.

The neighbors all know that this mother is very difficult, after her husband eloped with the mistress and abandoned her, she could only take her daughter to inherit the old shop, and finally with her own efforts, the shop became prosperous and famous.

As a daughter, Xie Yueming and her mother depended on each other, and when she became an adult, she found Ruyi Langjun, and just two days before she got married, her mother gave her a small bucket of old marinade as a gift.

After all, the taste of braised goose is so wonderful, relying on the old marinade that has been boiling for the past 47 years, taking out the old ingredients and adding new ingredients every day.

And it was when the mother handed the marinade to her daughter that she revealed the secret that had been hidden in her heart for many years.

"Your dad is in there!"

"I know Daddy's hard work is in it, in this bucket of marinade that has never been changed."

"No, your dad is in-in-the-head!" Mother said word by word.

This is the secret of their family's lo-mei.

In fact, my father never abandoned my mother, but stayed at home forever.

One day many years ago, my father wanted to bring home a woman from outside and a boy who had already given birth, but my mother strongly opposed it.

In those years, especially in the Pearl River Delta region, the concept of preference for sons over daughters was very popular.

The junior gave birth to a son, but as a wife, the mother was the only one daughter.

Although after a quarrel, his father promised not to bring Xiao San home, but his mother still killed him ruthlessly, chopped his body into pieces, and threw it into the braised soup!

The mother inherited the old shop that belonged to her father and raised her daughter.

This plot is easy to guess, after all, it is a horror novel, and readers will naturally easily think about it.

But the real horror is not here, but in the daughter who is the protagonist.

"You don't blame Mom."

"Why, because I'm not surprised at all."

Because I saw it.

Saw everything.

In fact, the daughter has always known the end of her father, and even saw how her father was "killed" by her mother!

At that time, when she was young, she saw her mother smearing her used sanitary napkins on the knives that her father usually practiced "fighting the gods".

"Fighting the gods" is a kind of Jianghu magic, similar to inviting the gods to the upper body, which can strengthen the body and make it invulnerable when inviting the gods.

My father usually used a big knife to slash at himself when he was practicing, and only left a shallow white mark.

But women are yin, and menstrual blood is more yin and evil than black dog blood.

In this way, the unwitting father hacked himself to death, while the mother cut his body to pieces.

With a little trick, let the other party kill themselves, and the mother's viciousness and ruthlessness can be seen......

However, all of this was seen by her daughter, but she turned a blind eye and pretended not to know anything!

This viciousness and ruthlessness have long been inherited by her.

And now, although the person she is about to marry has a lot of money, it is obviously also a seed of affection.

In addition, the daughter is a junior and squeezed out her husband's original girlfriend, so in the future, will today's husband become the father of the year?

Will today's daughters be like their mothers back then, and let their husbands become part of the brine?

The story ends when the daughter's inner monologue is written.

But it leaves the reader with infinite reverie.

"What is more terrifying than ghosts and gods is the human heart!" Zheng Yuan suppressed the feeling of nausea after hearing "roast goose", and couldn't help but admire.

"There are supernatural powers in the book, such as fighting divine skills, but these powers are not worth mentioning in front of the human heart."

Zheng Yuan felt that compared with this "Braised Goose", the horror novels he had read before were too superficial.

"This short story can compete with "The Chair"!"

"After it's all reversed, it can still bring people a creepy horror reverie!"

Zheng Yuan touched his stomach.

He was hungry for overtime, but at this time he couldn't eat anything.

He felt that he would not eat any goose dishes in the last few months, no, years.

Nor will I eat any brine again.

I don't eat anything soaked in soup anymore.

And also...... Or I'm a vegetarian.

Just when Zheng Yuan looked disgusted and thought about something, the door of the editor-in-chief's office opened.

The editor-in-chief smiled and sent a middle-aged man to the gate of the company.

And this person is the first pillar of black hole literature.

Tumulus!
