When talking about business, Yang Xiao's courage and ability were very thorough, but now that she was no longer talking about business, she was like an older sister, talking to Yu Dong about everyday things.
She seems to love Sichuan and Sichuan delicacies. As long as food is discussed, she will try her best to sell famous local delicacies to Yu Dong.
It must be said that she is a good salesperson, and she can arouse Yu Dong's desire for local food in just a few words.
If she wasn't a president in a science fiction world, she might be a food critic.
Yu Dong is from Shanghai, but he also loves spicy food. Among the spicy flavors from various places, Yu Dong loves the spicy food from Shu and Hunan the most. He has done many studies and cooked twice-cooked pork that is not authentic but still delicious.
But when it comes to delicious food, Yu Dong has no say in front of Yang Xiao and can only sit and listen.
When Yang Xiao was talking about spicy rabbit heads with great interest, Tan Kai ran in with the manuscript of "One Day".
Tan Kai put the manuscript on the coffee table and said, "I've finished reading the manuscript. I'm here to report on my work."
"Hey, Yu Dong, I'll talk to you later, Tutou." Yang Xiao said to Yu Dong, then looked at the smiling Tan Kai, "Looking at your expression, Yu Dong is very satisfied with this new draft.
Here you go."
"It's more than just satisfaction, it's simply an accident." Tan Kai was no longer polite to Yang Xiao. He pulled up a chair and sat down in front of the two of them. "This novel is very interesting, and it is completely different from "The Second World"
There are two types."
"How do you say it?" Yang Xiao leaned over and took the manuscript on the coffee table in his hand, turning the pages and asked.
Tan Kai smoothed his hair, and the originally messy hair fell back, revealing a semi-curved hairline. He is less than fifty this year, and his face is quite energetic, but his hairline is not very impressive.
, it made him look a few years older.
Others never mention his hair in front of him, but he likes to tease him, always saying that it's not that his hairline is high, but that his hairline is too full.
After his hair was smoothed, Tan Kai spoke again: "There are not many science fiction elements in "One Day", the only one is... Forget it, I won't go into the specific content, otherwise it will affect your subsequent reading experience. The main reason is that the story is very interesting,
The progress is very smooth, and it is particularly humanistic. I am also a person who is about to know my destiny. After reading this article, I was particularly touched. It really feels like hundreds of rivers will reach the east and the sea will return to the west. "
"Is this a story about the loss of time?" Yang Xiao asked.
Tan Kai waved his hand and shook his head again, "No, no, it's just a story about not losing time?"
"Not lost?" Yang Xiao had never read the book and couldn't understand. "It seems I have to see it myself."
She was about to turn over the manuscript, but Tan Kai said: "Don't read it now, it's a waste of time. Teacher Yu is leaving in the afternoon. It's almost dinner time. We will prepare to have a meal with Teacher Yu later. I think this
This article is very good, and I propose to put it before "Second World". Firstly, it will avoid having no room for it after "Second World" is serialized later. Secondly, I will publish this article first.
Let readers get to know Teacher Yu's strength first. The early content of "Second World" has a lot of foreshadowing and the pace is relatively slow. I'm afraid that readers who are used to reading short and medium stories may not adapt to it for a while. If they know Teacher Yu's strength in advance,
It’s one more reason to persevere.”
"Okay, you are the editor-in-chief, you can decide the layout matters." Yang Xiao nodded and said, and she really felt that what Tan Kai said was reasonable.
"Then let's go out and find a hotel now?"
"Don't worry, I have one last question for Teacher Yu." Tan Kai looked at Yu Dong.
Yu Dong nodded slightly: "Just ask, Editor Tan."
Tan Kai "snatched" the manuscript back from Yang Xiao's hand, turned to the last page, pointed to a small piece of it that was blurred, and asked: "There is a sentence here, I will come back tomorrow... there is a blurred word in the middle
What is the word "dropped"? No? Yes? Or did you blur it out deliberately and remove this word? "
Is it blurred? Yu Dong stretched his head and took a look. What Tan Kai said was true. One word was indeed blurred. There was originally a word "no" there, which should have been wiped out by water.
But Yu Dong was very careful when copying, so this should not happen.
"It's not, but I remember it didn't get wet."
Yang Xiao said with a smile: "Maybe it was stained with tea and you just didn't notice it. Who can be so careful?"
Tan Kai joked: "Perhaps Teacher Yu burst into tears when he wrote an emotional part, leaving tears on the paper."
"No, not really." Yu Dong shook his head and didn't think about the reason. Maybe Yang Xiao was right, he accidentally got the water up, and it wasn't a big deal anyway.
"Okay, now we can go eat." Yang Xiao looked at the time and stood up from the sofa.
"Of course, let's go."
…
During lunch, Yu Dong spent half the time enjoying the food and the other half listening carefully to Yang Xiao's explanation. She didn't eat much herself, but she had to introduce each dish to Yu Dong in detail, down to each dish.
How to control the heat should be mentioned.
Yu Dong didn't hate this. After his rebirth, he became more passionate about life and paid more attention to the things around him. Listening to Yang Xiao's explanation was another kind of attention.
After finishing the meal, the three of them sat around for a while. Yu Dong was drinking water when Yang Xiao suddenly asked him: "By the way, Yu Dong, do you need to sign your real name on the novel in "Science Fiction World"?"
The reason why Yang Xiao asked this question was because of Yu Dong's identity. He is a political counselor and has published articles in magazines such as "Harvest" and "Zhongshan".
In the general environment of the past few years, people like Yu Dong would most likely be unwilling to disclose their writing of science fiction novels due to their status.
Yu Dong had never thought about this matter, but now that Yang Xiao suddenly mentioned it, the pen name came to his mind. He had only used one pen name, which was "Yu Jie" when he corresponded with his pen pal "Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Veteran"
Immortal".
I heard the "Golden Horse and Jade Rooster Veteran" mention in his letter that he also reads science fiction novels, perhaps using a pen name. This pen pal will be very surprised when he reads the novels in the future. Thinking of this, Yu Dong said to Yang Xiao: "
You can also use a pen name to make it more interesting. I used a fish jelly fairy before."
Hearing Yu Dong's answer, Yang Xiao and Tan Kai were both a little disappointed.
They thought, as expected, Yu Dong was the same and was very taboo about science fiction.
Yang Xiao was okay and didn't show it, but Tan Kai wrote his disappointment directly on his face.
Yu Dong noticed Tan Kai's expression and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong? Is the pen name of Fish Jelly Immortal not a good one?"
"No, pen names are good, and you should use pen names to separate science fiction works, otherwise it will affect you."
It turns out that was the case. Yu Dong suddenly realized why Tan Kai was lost.
He didn't take into account the current environment just now, so he didn't think there was any point in using a pen name. Now thinking about it, Tan Kai probably misunderstood and thought he wanted to distance himself from science fiction works.
Yu Dong smiled and explained: "I didn't mean anything else. It was just that Sister Xiao mentioned that I thought of another pen name, so I decided to use it. I'd better use it for Dong. The pen name of Fish Jelly Immortal can be reserved for the future."
Chapter completed!
