Chapter 21 Sagiri's First Time
When he got home, Zuo Xiaoyou told Sagi about the comic book of his new book.
"Really?" Sagiki was very surprised. Although she was an illustrator of the new book, Kagurazaka Kamabu did not inform her of the news in advance. I think it would be better for Zuo Xiaoyou to tell her in person.
"Yes!" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "I will go to the library to agree on a comic-making contract on Saturday morning, and I will also invite Miss Kagurasaka to have barbecue at night. I may come back very late. If it is too late, don't wait for me and go to bed early."
"Ah, um." Sagi nodded, then looked at him calmly.
"What's wrong?"
Sagi shook his head and said, "I just feel that my brother is getting better and better."
He smiled and gently stroked Sagi's head with his hands: "No matter how powerful it is, I am your brother."
Samu's face turned red, she lowered her head, but was smiling.
...
Before we knew it, Friday was coming. After school that day, Zuo Xiaoyou and An Yilun and Kei Kato said hello and went home to prepare supper first.
Not long after he arrived home, the Yamada goblin ran over, but looked very panicked: "My servant, save me quickly."
“…”
Zuo Xiaoyou silently tied his apron and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I didn't do anything." Yamada fairy said dissatisfiedly: "It was the Great Demon King who brought his hands to capture me. My servant, it's time to test your loyalty to me. Protect me quickly."
"Big Demon King?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked in his head: "What the hell are you talking about?"
"Tsk, he is not handsome at all." Yamada's fairy became increasingly dissatisfied, but finally said something: "It was my editor who came over to urge the manuscript."
"Oh." Zuo Xiaoyou thought why? It turned out that it was the editor who urged the manuscript.
Japanese publishing houses are different from the Song Dynasty. The published books must be published regularly. If the work is not completed within the deadline, the consequences are very serious. Therefore, every ten days before the deadline, the editor will call the author who is responsible for asking him if the manuscript is completed. If it is completed, everyone will be happy, but if it is not completed, then congratulations, the editor who was kind to you in the past will be very "enthusiastic" to invite you to a closed space for work.
When will the work be completed and when will it be released? But if the time is not completed, that's great, unless you are really talented and your works are very popular, otherwise you may not have the opportunity to publish them in the future.
What is the use of a writer who has no talent, works written without popularity, and has delayed manuscripts?
Before Zuo Xiaoyou traveled through time, this body was also a writer with limited talent and not very popular works, but his advantage was that his writing speed was very fast, and the editor never had to worry about not being able to complete the work before the deadline. Not only was he not worried, but because Zuo Xiaoyou wrote too fast, Kagurazaka Kasumi didn't know whether to laugh or laugh.
Of course, this is also the reason why Kagurazaka Kasu has always cared for Zuo Xiaoyou so much. After all, which editor doesn’t like hard-working authors! Talent can be improved by over-the-year study and experience. The unpopular work is just not popular at the moment. Maybe one day in the future I will write a popular work!
Do you know which cloud has rain?
And "Zuo Xiaoyou" did not disappoint Kagurazaka Kagurazaka Kagurazaka Kagurazaka has been proud of this recent days, and is also very pleased with Zuo Xiaoyou's growth and honor.
Yamada Goblin and Zuo Xiaoyou are a completely opposite author. Yamada Goblin is not only talented, but also has a very popular work. The cumulative sales of the first light novel exceeds 2.2 million copies, which is also very rare in the entire industry.
But the only point is that Yamada Goblin is an author who is absolutely impossible to complete the manuscript on time. In the past two years, Yamada Goblin has been her editor in charge of the deadline for every year, and her own brother came to supervise it personally. If the manuscript is not completed, there will be no entertainment. Although he has been taught again and again, he has been taught repeatedly, which has caused her brother a headache.
The next volume of Yamada Fairy is five days away, but Yamada Fairy didn't write a word, so her brother ran over to block the door with two big men. The Yamada Fairy saw the opportunity and ran to Zuo Xiaoyou's house to take refuge. But she forgot one thing. She was taking refuge, but she was domineering to the owner of the shelter and usually won't have a good ending.
A few minutes later, Yamada Gremlin's editor and brother, Yamada Chris, a young man with long golden hair and long elf prince came to the door with two burly men and captured Yamada Gremlin.
"Damn it, you traitor, actually betrayed me!" The Yamada fairy, who was clamped by two burly men, struggled violently, but how could she break her little arms and legs? She was so angry that she could only curse.
Chris Yamada bowed to Zuo Xiaoyou and thanked him: "Thank you for your notification from Zuo Teacher Zuo for disturbing me."
"It's okay." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I also want to see the new work of Yamada Elf Teacher as soon as possible, so please urge Yamada Elf Teacher to complete the manuscript as soon as possible. I will definitely buy it after it is released."
"Damn it! Just because of this, you betray me, I hate you so much!" The Yamada fairy was about to cry.
Zuo Xiaoyou shrugged and watched the four of them get into the car and leave. I guess the Yamada Fairy will be locked in the next few days.
This is also good, so she can save herself from coming here every day to eat and drink, and she doesn't even pay.
...
Around six o'clock in the evening, An Yilunya, Kato Eika, Kato Yoshiki Shiba and Sawamura Eri arrived one after another. Of course, they were not empty-handed. Some brought snacks, some brought drinks, and some brought beautiful girl game discs. Needless to ask, it must have been brought by An Yilun. What made Zuo Xiaoyou even helpless was that An Yilun did not give gifts, but borrowed Zuo Xiaoyou's game console and place to preach to Kato Kei.
"Should I throw Lun out too?"
Zuo Xiaoyou's words were unanimously supported by Shiyu Katsuki and Eriri. Kato Ei said calmly: "It's not good for An Yijun to do such a thing at Zuojun's house!"
An Yilun also knelt down in sweat and begged for mercy: "I was wrong, please do not do this."
After all, it was just a little adjustment in life, and everyone didn't take it seriously. Zuo Xiaoyou also brought supper to the dinner table. Because time was limited, Zuo Xiaoyou prepared the most popular hotpot in the Song Dynasty, and used two spicy hotpot chickens with white chickens.
Because Japan lacks supplies and many things need to be imported, the prices are very high. These two white chickens were placed in the Song Dynasty, at most forty or fifty Song coins, but in Japan, Zuo Xiaoyou spent more than 3,000 yen, equivalent to 180 Song coins. If calculated only from the average purchasing power, the quality of life of the Japanese is not much better than that of the Song Dynasty.
However, this is not something Zuo Xiaoyou needs to consider. After all, he just bought more than 5 million yuan in manuscript fees and was about to be comic-making. This little money is nothing. In addition to the white chicken, Zuo Xiaoyou also prepared several kinds of shabu shabu dishes, and at the same time he refried the oil-cooked sesame cakes baked last night with oil. The aroma was so strong that it received unanimous praise from everyone as soon as it was served.
However, because he was eating hot pot, Zuo Xiaoyou could not make a pot for Sagiri alone. So this time, under Zuo Xiaoyou's persuasion, Sagiri mustered up the courage to walk out of the room and met someone other than Zuo Xiaoyou for the first time in two years.
When Samu appeared, everyone was stunned.
"So...so cute!" Shiyu Kasunoki and Eriri's eyes were emitting light, obviously unable to resist Sagiri's charm. Kato Kei looked at Sagiri who was hiding behind Zuo Xiaoyou, only revealing half of her body, as if she was thinking.
"Wow! I didn't expect Teacher Zuo's sister to be so cute." An Yilun was also very excited: "So cute. She deserves to be Teacher Zuo's sister. She will definitely be the beauty who will not lose to her senior sister and Yingliri in the future."
"Ah, I didn't expect Ethics to be so good at speaking." Shiyu Xiazhiqiu closed her hair and a faint smile on her lips. Although An Yilun was also praising Sagiri, from the content, Shiyu Xiazhiqiu and Eriri praised it together.
An Yilun also called him a great beauty. Yinglili's face turned red and she said proudly: "He is not blind, he is just telling the truth, nothing is great."
Shiyu Shiyu smiled slightly and said nothing.
Zuo Xiaoyou said a little apologetically: "Sorry, because his parents passed away unexpectedly two years ago, Sagi suffered a great blow. He has not walked out of the room in the past two years and has always been afraid of meeting people. If there is any rudeness, please forgive me."
"It's okay, it's okay." Yingriri said quickly: "Actually, Sister Sagi is already very strong. If it were me, she might have been mentally broken long ago."
"Student Sawamura, have you finally admitted that you are cowardly?" Shiyu Kasumizuki did not forget to attack this golden retriever defeated dog at this time.
"Xiazhiqiu Shiyu! What are you talking nonsense?" Yinglili, who was unwilling to accept it, immediately fought back. The two of them quarreled again as usual, but Xiazhiqiu Shiyu responded calmly, Yinglili shouted and scolded in anger, and the superiority was immediately judged.
"Today is the first time Sister Sagi has seen an outsider. Can Senior Sister Kato and Eriri not argue?" Kato Eki's voice suddenly sounded. Although it was not loud, it made the two people in the quarrel stop for a moment. Both of them looked at her with incredible eyes. They couldn't believe that Kato Eki, who had been invisible in the past, would suddenly stand up and show her presence.
An Yilun was also very shocked by this: "Kato, you..."
"Sorry, I just don't want to scare Sister Sagi." Kato Eki looked at Sagi with gentle eyes and smiled: "Hello Sister Sagi, I am Kato Eki, your brother's friend."
"..." Sagi opened her mouth, and although she wanted to say anything, she said nothing.
A big hand was pressed on Sagiri's head, Sagiri turned his head and saw Zuo Xiaoyou's gentle smile: "Sagiri, they are all my best friends, don't be afraid."
"..." Sagi pursed his lips, nodded slightly, and then said to Kato Kei: "I...I am I Izumi Sagi, hello."
Although the voice was very small, because the scene was very quiet, everyone could hear her words clearly. Kato Kei's smile became gentler: "Sister Sagi can still walk down strongly after experiencing such a thing. It's so amazing!"
"No...no." Suddenly being praised made Sagiri's face red and very uncomfortable, but she felt a little happy: "The real amazing one is my brother. In the past two years, my brother has been taking care of me and supporting this family. If there is no brother, maybe I...I..."
Seeing that Sagiri was about to cry, everyone started to comfort him, praising Sagiri and Zuo Xiaoyou for being strong and being the objects of their learning. In short, they calmed down Sagiri, but because of his shameful performance just now, they kept their heads down and dared not look at people. Even so, Zuo Xiaoyou was already very relieved, at least one step forward, right?
"Okay, the hot pot has been opened. Everyone can rinse whatever they like and eat it open!" Zuo Xiaoyou lifted the lid of the pot, and a white steam rose up, and the fragrance spread out, causing everyone to make a sound.
"Speaking of it, spicy hotpot chicken is a way to eat in Dasong, which is different from the Guandong cooked thing we usually eat!" An Yilun also clamped a piece of muscle into a vinegar bowl with garlic paste and said happily.
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "The difference is basically in the ingredients. There are many ways to eat hot pot in Dasong. The common one is the heavy-tasting spicy pot. This spicy pot is commonly found in Sichuan and Guizhou areas. Because the humid area in Sichuan and Guizhou areas is heavy, eating spicy pot can help the human body excrete moisture. The other is the common mutton sauté in northern regions. The mutton sauté mainly relies on the hot pot base to cover up the fishy smell of mutton, and then dip it in the prepared sauce. It tastes very delicious and not spicy, but the price is much more expensive than the spicy pot."
"Why?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Because lamb is much more expensive than chicken." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "A pound of lamb is about forty or fifty yuan, while a pound of chicken is only about a dozen yuan."
"Is the Song Dynasty currency? So that's it." Everyone said a few times, but after calculating the exchange rate, they found that mutton didn't seem to be too expensive, forty or fifty yuan, and it would be only seven or eight hundred yuan for Japanese yen.
"That's the price in the Song Dynasty." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "The Song Dynasty is rich in resources and can be self-sufficient in everything, so the price is very low. Lamb is forty or fifty yuan in the Song Dynasty, and it will be put in Japan... I think you have all been to the store! Do you know how much beef and mutton priced in the store cost? "
Zuo Xiaoyou said this and everyone was speechless. Compared with the prices, Japan is more than three or four times higher than the Song Dynasty, so ordinary Japanese official staff members are 300,000 yen per month, which is 17,500 yuan to the Song Dynasty coins, but the quality of life is similar to those of the Song Dynasty who pay 4,500 or 5,000 yuan a month. If they are people living in small cities, the quality of life of four or five thousand yuan a year is quite good. Not to mention anything else, even if there is meat stewed, it will definitely be over 3,000 yuan a month after removing the messy living expenses.
