Chapter 54: Stupid Little Fish
The beginning of Ai Qing's new book is unprecedentedly good.
Originally, his expectations were actually quite simple.
If you can advance in the first round of testing the waters, you will be considered successful.
If you can make it to the third round and get a strong push, you can hang it in the position below the book details of the same category.
The traffic here is also very large for new books.
If he can go this far, Ai Qing will be sure to write another book with more than 500 average orders.
6,000 words of updates are guaranteed every day, and the monthly manuscript fee can be about 4,000 yuan.
That's enough for him to live now.
Although he may not be able to save much money, as long as he can maintain his full-time status, he is confident that he can work hard and strive for further progress in his future books.
But what he didn't expect was that the book seemed to have a good score?
It can't be compared with those bigwigs who have tens of thousands of follow-ups at every turn in the same period, but now on the eve of the shelves, the editor told him that there are about 1700 follow-ups.
This is a big surprise for Ai Qing.
You must know that the tracking data in the editing background represents the number of paying readers.
That's the number of paying readers who have read your latest chapter in 48 hours.
Under normal circumstances, the first order data of a book will fluctuate up and down the follow-up data.
And Ai Qing's current 1700 follow-up reading means that as long as he doesn't write later, it is guaranteed that 1700 readers will be willing to pay real money to support him in creating this novel.
This is more than three times more than three times the previous 500 average subscription data.
Of course, the manuscript fee is not directly tripled, because there is also a full attendance award of 1,500 yuan.
In fact, the subscription fee for 6,000 words updated every day is only about 2,500.
And if there can be an average order of 1700...... With 6,000 updates per day, the monthly subscription fee will probably be more than 8,000!
Counting the perfect attendance award, maybe it can be 10,000 yuan?
it!
Ai Qing calculated this, and suddenly suppressed himself.
Could it be that before graduating from college, he will be able to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month?
Before, he also said that if he earns more than 10,000 yuan a month, he will tell his father the title of the book...... Doesn't it look like you have to hide it?
One thing to say, he can have 1700 follow-up this time, and the Silver League given by Sister Qian a few days ago can be regarded as a big help.
After the manuscript fee is sent this month after it is put on the shelf, I still have to invite her to a meal to thank her.
Thinking about these things, Ai Qing had already sat down at the computer desk and sent five chapters of the previous manuscript.
That's 10,000 words!
It's all because the involution is too serious now, and it's as if Riwan is a very simple thing.
Watching these five chapters being consumed, Ai Qing felt very heartbroken.
Recently, because he often has to educate Xiaoyu, and Xiaoyu has been becoming a human for longer and longer, he hasn't saved a manuscript for a long time, and every day is 4,000 words.
By sending out these five chapters, the number of his manuscripts dropped dramatically to four.
The matter of cultivating small fish into an all-round cat lady is imminent!
After Ai Qing sent out the manuscript, he wanted to read the comments, but he heard an exclamation from Xiaoyu from the kitchen.
Hearing the voice, Ai Qing didn't have time to read the comment, so he quickly got up and walked out of the bedroom and ran to the kitchen.
Then he saw a shrimp bouncing on the ground, looking quite energetic.
The little fish was so frightened that she shrank into a corner and crouched there shivering.
"What's wrong?" Ai Qing stepped forward, picked up the shrimp, threw it into the bag, and then stretched out his hand to the small fish.
Xiao Yu came to his senses, and then reached out to hold Ai Qing, stood up and explained in a low voice: "I, curious...... Touched it, it was, suddenly, jumped up and scary. ”
"These are live shrimp, they are a little unactive because they are not put in the water, and they are directly blanched in boiling water for a while." Ai Qing explained, and comforted, "I'll give you the first one in a while, and I'll be angry." ”
After speaking, Ai Qing began to command Xiao Yu, pointed to the pot next to him and said, "Pour water into it first, hold its handle, lift it to the pool, and turn on the faucet, right." ”
"Wait until the water is almost half the height and then bring it back, can you move it?" Yes, yes, it's not a small effort. ”
"Then light the stove, like this." Ai Qing said, giving her a demonstration, and then extinguished the fire.
Xiaoyu tried it two or three times before it was successfully ignited.
"You can't touch this fire with your hands, you know?" Ai Qing reminded, and then asked Xiaoyu to cover the pot, "Now wait for the water to boil, you can pour all the shrimp into it, and we can fry the fish first." ”
Xiaoyu turned into a fully automatic little chef at this moment, obediently obeying Ai Qing's command, and did whatever he said.
At this time, Ai Qing was standing in the middle of the kitchen, scolding Fang Xuan, standing in place without moving.
As long as Xiaoyu's operation is not dangerous, he will not go out of his way to help.
But there were still a lot of things that scared Ai Qing halfway.
Ai Qing just asked her to lift the lid of the pot to see if the water was boiling, and Xiao Yu directly wanted to put her finger in to test the temperature.
Fortunately, Ai Qing was quick and dragged her back.
When frying fish, Xiaoyu heard Ai Qing say that she wanted to turn the fish over, she subconsciously stretched out her hand and wanted to turn it directly.
Fortunately, Ai Qing learned the lesson and kept an eye on it, so she didn't let her burn her hands.
He found out that although Xiaoyu has learned to speak, walk, and even have human knowledge, he still has not developed the habit of using "tools", and always habitually wants to solve problems directly with his hands.
Let her use a spatula and kitchen knife, it is simply the scene of a large disaster.
Fortunately, the little fish is just not used to it, not really stupid, and the shrimp and fish in the end are finally served on the table smoothly.
Ai Qing took a bottle of pepper from the cupboard, poured a stack, then poured a small bowl of vinegar, and brought it to the table, next to the shrimp and fish.
"Because I didn't put any seasoning, I used these two to add some flavor, shrimp dipped in vinegar, fish dipped in pepper, the taste is not much worse."
After speaking, Ai Qing sat down.
Xiao Yu next to her seemed to realize something, and quickly sat down on the chair, and then pulled the chair and let Ai Qing lean on her side, until the chair was attached to the chair, and her shoulders were also attached to Ai Qing's arm, and she stopped.
"What are you doing?" Ai Qing asked suspiciously.
Xiaoyu blinked and looked at Ai Qing: "Eat, want to eat." ”
In fact, the warm current of the small fish is almost exhausted, and if you don't get closer to Ai Qing, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish your lunch.
So the little fish hurriedly approached Ai Qing and pasted it together, so as to squeeze a little more warm current.
Ai Qing, the warm current supply machine, didn't realize this problem at this time, and just thought that Xiaoyu was showing favor and gratitude, so he didn't think much about it and began to help her peel the shrimp shell.
"We've washed our hands, so let's not use chopsticks for now, let's just take them and eat them." Ai Qing said this, and paused again, "Or you can practice again, yes." ”
Ai Qing put the peeled shrimp meat into the vinegar bowl, and then motioned to Xiaoyu to pick up the chopsticks: "Try it, use the chopsticks to put it in the mouth and eat it." ”
Xiaoyu looked at Ai Qing, and then looked at the shrimp, clumsily picked up the chopsticks, poked and stirred in the vinegar bowl, and worked hard for a while before using the chopsticks to scoop the shrimp meat to the edge, and finally took a bite with his mouth, and finally tasted the delicious food made by himself.
At this time, Ai Qingdu had already peeled seven or eight shrimp for her.
"Try the fish, too." Ai Qing said, "But don't dip too much pepper, it's easy to choke, just dip a little." ”
Xiaoyu picked up his chopsticks and stretched out for the slightly golden brown pangasius cubes fried next to him.
I don't know if it's because the fish pieces are easier to clip, or if the small fish has finally mastered some tricks.
Despite the straining of her arms, she finally caught the fish off the plate and hung it in the air.
It's a pity that the little fish is a little anxious, and when he leans over to bite it, his hand is loosened, and the fish meat falls back on the plate.
Ai Qing couldn't help but smile when she saw her clumsy and cute appearance.
At this time, the two were completely close together, Ai Qing simply opened his right hand, hugged Xiao Yu, and directly held her right hand, and indirectly held the chopsticks: "Come, I'll teach you." ”
"Hmm......" Xiao Yu whispered softly.
Ai Qing's sudden movement made the warm current instilled in his body thicker and thicker, and he almost didn't stun the little fish.
I feel that the closer two people get together, the larger the contact area, and the more warm currents there are.
Although it is not yet able to fully offset the rate of consumption of warm currents, it has been greatly mitigated.
If he had been held by Ai Qing like this, Xiao Yu would feel that he could keep his body for several hours when he was in a state full of warmth.
"Open your mouth, why are you in a daze?" At this time, Ai Qing had already clamped the fish pieces to the mouth of the small fish.
After being reminded, Xiaoyu quickly opened his mouth and took a bite.
As a result, because it was too hot, it suddenly "hissed" and whirred.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly." Ai Qing let go of her hand, "Do you remember how you felt just now?" Chopsticks are just fine. ”
Not...... Xiao Yu scratched his little head, looking distressed.
There was so much warmth just now that she didn't even have time to feel how the fish pieces were pinched.
I'm going to be called stupid by him again......
Xiaoyu doesn't know the specific meaning of stupidity, but he also knows that it is certainly not a good thing.
Alas, chopsticks are so difficult.
I really want to grab it with my hands.
