At the beginning, Li Ling was very confident in his book. He felt that even if Gu Yuezi couldn't be amazed and praised, he had a setting and imagination far beyond the novels of this era, so he should have made him call him well. But more than an hour later, Gu Yuezi was still looking through the manuscript slowly, which made Li Ling a little unable to calm down.

You should know that he still remembers that Gu Yuezi had completed the publication of the book with Mr. Dai more than ten days ago. Is it because his writing style is lacking? It’s not right. He has tried his best to learn the popular vernacular writing. There is not much difference. Or is it because he is a newcomer who is just a newcomer, so he is not allowed to recognize it?

After another wave of worrying about gains and losses, Li Ling finally couldn't help but coughed dryly and said, "Boss Gu, read this book..."

This greeting made Gu Yuezi react. He raised his head, and the confused look flashed in his eyes. He looked at Li Ling up and down for a while: "Mr. Li, this book is really what you think of yourself. It took only half a month to write it?"

"Of course, Boss Gu, you are well-informed and probably have never seen similar novels elsewhere, right?" Li Ling immediately said with a shameless face: "Is there any shortcomings or problems in this book?"

"No, this book is so good!" Gu Yuezi immediately slapped the manuscript in front of him with some excitement and said, "I really didn't expect that the novels could be written in this way. The great gods in ancient times were really longing for and respected. I was fascinated by the time I saw it, but I was so arrogant to Mr. Li. It was really hard to believe that such a good book was written by Mr. Li. You only wrote it in half a month. It was really a talent taught by heaven!" As he said that, he was amazed again.

Even though Li Ling claimed to be very thick-skinned, he didn't feel a little blushed after hearing the other party's praise. He quickly waved his hand and said modestly: "Boss Gu has praised it. This is just some of the imaginations I have in my daily life."

"Mr. Li is indeed extraordinary. What he thinks is much more powerful than ordinary people." Gu Yuezi exclaimed again, "Although I have heard of Pangu Nuwa's legend, I still have to read this book of Cong Shen for details."

Li Ling smiled all over his face, and knew that there was hope for publication, so he asked, "With boss Gu's opinion, how much can my book sell you?"

After hearing his question, Gu Yuezi finally calmed down and thought for a while and said, "Since Mr. Li came to me to sell books, I must have inquired about some industry rules. According to the rules, if a newcomer releases a new book, because we cannot guarantee how much it can be sold, the royalties can be paid not too much. Often, one volume is about ten taels, and the better ones will not exceed twenty taels."

Li Ling nodded, but the other party did not lie to him. He only read the new book of the old author Mr. Dai that day, only sold it in fifteen taels per volume. It can be seen that the novel author's income at that time was not very considerable. Of course, he was definitely not satisfied with it. Although twenty taels were already a lot, he wrote the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of the Congregation of Journey to the West in ancient mythological novels!

As if you felt Li Ling's thoughts, Gu Yuezi smiled again: "Of course, Mr. Li, your book cannot be generalized with other new books. Compared with the novels of talented men and beautiful women on the market and seeking immortals and Taoism, your story is much more exciting. But after all, you are not the author known to the people of Hengzhou or Jiangcheng, so even I dare not assert that this book can sell much.

"You see if this happens, you won't just write one volume of a book. Then set the first volume to be thirty taels of silver. When the sales figures come out later, you will write the second and third volumes and make further adjustments."

"Thirty taels?" Li Ling thought for a while. Although there was still a big gap with the high price of fifty taels he expected, it was acceptable. After all, there is only one Gu's bookstore in the county that can publish books, which is a complete buyer's market. He doesn't want to find someone to raise the price of the book. Moreover, Gu Yuezi has left room. As long as the response in the first volume is good enough, the price of the book will naturally be raised.

In addition, Gu Yuezi was fair to him. He put everything on the surface and had his previous friendship, so he could buy him. At the moment, Li Ling nodded: "Then according to Boss Gu's wishes, this first volume will only be sold for thirty taels, and the price will be increased later."

"Okay. Mr. Li just worry. I, Gu Yuezi, have always been fair in business. As long as this volume is sold well, the next volume can definitely raise the price." As he said that, Gu Yuezi asked someone to bring the money and handed it to Li Ling himself.

After Li Ling took over the silver and heavy horse hooves, he felt a sense of joy. From this point of view, it was not too difficult for him to pay off the money he owed outside before the Mid-Autumn Festival. As long as he wrote two more books, not only could the foreign debt be paid off, but he and his sister could also live a rich life.

After sending Li Ling out and turning around, Gu Yuezi saw the shopkeeper waiting for him with concern: "Boss, have you really bought Mr. Li's book? How much money did you spend?"

"Thirty taels."

"So many? They are almost at the price of Mr. Ren and his friends. But now our bookstore business is difficult to do, and there are Wanjia from Hengzhou Prefecture that is coming here to open a branch, right?"

Gu Yuezi waved his hand and interrupted the other party's persuasion: "I know what you are worried about. It is true that our funds are in some trouble. The threat from Wanjia Bookstore is also very great, but because of this, I feel that I should communicate with these authors and treat them with sincerity. Especially Mr. Li, his masterpiece is indeed very good. I believe that as long as it is printed, it will be watched by many people in my Jiangcheng County and even Hengzhou Prefecture. I have been in this industry for twenty years and I still have this vision."

Seeing that he said this, the shopkeeper didn't want to persuade him anymore, but just said softly: "I hope this can be true."

Li Ling, who had left the store, naturally could not know that Li Ling was happy at this time. While walking, he was already planning to add some more delicious dishes to himself and his sister tonight to reward the two of them. Thinking of this, he no longer rushes to the bookstore, but instead heads straight to a butcher shop not far away, bought two kilograms of ribs, and then went to the stall next to buy four radishes, and then walked home with brisk steps.

Li Yue'er at home was looking forward to it. It seemed that she was not much easier than Li Ling. She was also worried about whether her brother could sell the book at a good price. Until she saw Li Ling return with a smile and even carried a bag of meat and carrots in her hand, she guessed the answer and was excitedly discharged from the hospital: "Brother, has the book you wrote really sold?"

"Of course, don't you say that the book I wrote is very good?" Li Ling replied while putting down the thing.

"I look very good. Those great gods are so powerful, and King Zhou is so fierce and bad..." After pausing, she said curiously again: "How much money did you sell? Let me guess, is there twenty taels?"

"It's not just thirty taels, and Boss Gu also promised me that as long as this volume is sold well, I can raise another price. Then we will pay off the money we owe immediately."

"That's great." Li Yue'er was even happier now, and she hugged Li Ling's arm and jumped. Looking at her sister's appearance, Li Ling was also happy. The little girl looked much happier than before. Obviously, it was because after relying on her, she no longer worried about being in danger as she used to be, and liberated her nature.

And this was exactly what Li Ling expected to see, so he laughed. But seeing Li Yueer's thin and thin body, he felt distressed again, and immediately pulled his hand out of her arms: "Let's go, today I will show you one hand, cook you a radish and stew pork ribs, so you can keep it still want to eat it after you eat it."

"Yeah..." Li Yue'er nodded with expectation. She hadn't tasted meat for almost a year and had a saliva flowed out of the corner of her mouth whenever she thought of having meat. This saliva made Li Ling both amused and feel a little pity. She touched her sister's head, and then took the ribs and radishes to the kitchen to work.

As a promising young man in the 21st century, Li Ling used to solve problems with takeout, so he didn't have many dishes to cook, but this simplest stewed pork ribs with radish is still difficult for him. Although the earthy stove here is a bit troublesome, as long as you keep an eye on it and master the heat, you can still make this dish successfully.

After adding salt sugar, a little soy sauce and wine, a pot of hard dishes with all their colors, fragrance and flavor were brought out. As soon as she smelled the tempting aroma, Li Yue'er's saliva flowed out from the corner of her mouth in a scent. When she tasted the soft-stewed pork ribs, her eyes were even more lit. She could no longer control herself, and she kept sending them to her mouth regardless of the fact that the meat and radish were still a little hot.

Seeing this, Li Ling was satisfied. He didn't eat a few pieces of meat, but kept putting the good meat into his sister's bowl. It was not until she burped her ate that she realized, and her little face turned red: "Brother, you eat too..."

"Okay." Li Ling smiled, and also picked up a piece of carrot and ate it in a few bites.

"Brother, do you think we can eat meat like today in the future?"

"Yes, not only meat, but also fish, shrimp, and more delicious food. I believe our days will get better and better. Now is the beginning."

"Well, I believe my brother..."

Looking at his sister full of longing and joy, Li Ling smiled happily again. Although such a time-traveling life is incomparable to the wonderful stories in novels, films and TV dramas, he felt that it was good to live a leisurely and prosperous life with his sister. After all, in his opinion, fighting, killing, fighting for power and profit are too far away from him, and such happiness can be held with just reaching out.
