Chapter 21 Always have hope in your heart(1/2)

At night, the door of the Dongye Grocery Store was closed.

The lights popped out from the second floor, attracting many butterflies here.

There are butterflies on Okinawa Island, and there are many varieties.

The most common one is the big white spotted butterfly, which is based on white and is decorated with a few black spots.

The so-called moths to the fire, butterflies also have this habit, but they are unlucky today.

When these butterflies stop slightly on the window ridge for a moment, they will be startled by a burst of laughter.

What's wrong with this family?

"Ahhaha... I'm a real novelist this time, right?"

"My husband, the manuscript was just taken away by the editor. It's not certain when it will be published."

"If this book can be published, I am still a novelist!"

"It's not that simple. Even if it's published, I don't know the sales situation."

"Oh, you women's family just think too much. My son's novels are absolutely fine."

"Husband, you, just drink your bar!"

"I, Dongye Gang, are now the father of novelists, haha..."

"Oh! Husband!"

There is no way, the Higashino family was too happy today, it would be strange if they were not happy.

Higashino's novelist dream has realized its first step.

The manuscript was taken away by the editor.

In Higashino's opinion, this should be equivalent to signing a contract when he was writing a book at Qidian.

However, there are still big differences here.

Dongye Qiang looked at the interaction between his parents, and no matter how he looked, he felt like he was showing off his food.

As a son, there was no way to do so, so he had to work hard.

It's okay, today I've made a sacrifice to celebrate.

Mom Chiyo, show your cooking skills.

She said that on such a happy day, she should eat sukiyaki.

My mother is a RB person, so this sukiyaki is also a bit particular.

Just say that among the three major dishes in the Old Edo era, there was no sukiyaki pot.

The reason is actually related to the word "shouqi".

In Japanese, this means hoe.

According to legend, when farmers used to eat meat, they would roast the hoe and then put the meat slices thinly on them and roast them. This is the prototype of the sukiyaki pot.

Sukiyaki should have been used as ‘hoe burning’, and it is originally a food for farmers and can only be enjoyed on special days.

However, Okinawa is not without beef, but this beef is too expensive.

Just now, today is the seafood sukiyaki pot.

The so-called seafood is all kinds of shellfish, the sauce is the same, and even the green onions, radish and other things are the same. Then some prawns are decorated.

These ingredients are much cheaper than beef sukiya.

Kokoto Higashino didn't care about these things at all, he ate them so deliciously.

With my mother, she added an original dish of her own.

Fried tofu with wooden fish flowers.

A piece of big tofu, cut into small pieces, is not the kind of Yuzi tofu.

Then, brush chili sauce on it and place it on a small oven.

Bake it on the bottom with oil, brush it on the baking tray, and finally sprinkle the washed wooden fish flowers on the tofu.

This dish is very simple to make, but the visual effect is very impressive.

The wood fish flowers are like wood shavings in shape, thin and curly, so after being heated, they will move with the air.

It's like a spark.

It also seems like bright flowers are blown by the wind.

Very beautiful.

Every time Higashino Qiang saw his mother do this, he was amazed and even reluctant to eat it.

The same is true this time.

It should be said that although most of the diets in Okinawa are Japanese, the taste and form are also very different. They are greatly influenced by the nearby Taiwan and are more sweet and spicy.

Now, of course, there are potatoes and eggplant mixed with vegetables.

Kokushi Higashino, a genius who was called a teacher by editor Kuki, was full of mouths and was simply a foodie.

"Son, eat slowly and don't choke." The happier Chiyo looked at his son, and what he thought was... Only I can give birth to such an outstanding child!

Such inner thoughts made her face a little red, and she couldn't help but pick up the wine glass.

Dongye Qiang's mouth was really too idle, so he could only nod and continue to work hard.

Seafood sukiya, not bad.

"Eat more! Haha..." Dongye Gang's face turned red when he drank it, but he remembered something, "That 600,000 or something, A Qiang, you don't have to worry about selling or something, it must be fine."

This is comforting people after drinking too much, and it is a bit messy.

Kokushi Higashino naturally understood, but before he could say anything, his mother Chiyo was unhappy.

"Husband! Why do you talk nonsense after drinking too much? Now your son is in a critical period, don't add pressure to him!"

That's right, don't mention that debt problem now, it's the best.

When Dongyegang heard this, he regretted it, "Oh, I'm drunk too much and didn't have a door in my mouth."

"Then let's get stuck!" Chiyo Higashino directly picked up a big potato, "This one should be regarded as a trophy for our best actor."

Best Actor, of course, this is about the previous scene.

Higashino Shinno's performance was good, fully demonstrating the inner struggle of a helpless father.

But Kokushi Higashino and Chiyo both complained that they were too exaggerated.

But in the end, in order to take care of the family leader's emotions, he would be the best actor.

At this time, Higashino Kok had swallowed the food in his mouth. He smiled and said, "Dad, mom, don't worry, it's like this. As long as it can be published, then you will have money."

"Ah?" The Higashino and his wife were both surprised, because they knew their son. From their tone, they seemed to have a lot of money.

Kokoshi Higashino immediately told some things he hadn't known before.

Originally, Kotoshi Higashino was an online writer in his previous life and was very disappointing. He really didn't understand some of the things in traditional publishing, especially the royalties for RB publishing novels.

These are all told by Mr. Keigo.

After listening to it, Koto Higashino couldn't help but sigh that the novelist on RB was simply living in heaven.

When writing novels on RB, as long as they can be published, there is a royalty fee to get.

The manuscript paper collected by the editor has a manuscript fee, which is called ‘original material’.

Simply put, a piece of original paper costs about 4,000-6,000 yen.

Moreover, this is only at the level of an ordinary novelist. Some great writers or relatively high-quality works are priced at tens of thousands of yen alone.

This is the calculation.

A piece of manuscript can write 300 to 350 words. Generally, novels, especially mystery novels, are about 100,000 words.

The "After School" created by Kokushi Higashino and Mr. Keigo has about 400 original papers.

In other words, it is based on the minimum standard of original materials.

You can also earn at least 1.6 million yen.

This manuscript fee is available in the RB publishing industry, including newspapers, magazines, and novels. This is probably the same, and comics will be more expensive. After all, there are fewer manuscripts in comics, and the drawings are also very tiring.

No matter how much this work can be sold, or even if it is not sold, the money will still be given to the author.

Kokoto Higashino didn't know this was the case before. After hearing Mr. Keigo's words, he almost cried.

Mr. Keigo was frightened by Higashinoko at that time, but no matter how he asked, Higashinoko didn't say anything.

Can you say it?

Now, I will tell you the original manuscript of this RB novel to my parents...

"Wow! Hahaha... It's great!"
To be continued...
