Da Qingyi picked up the vegetables scattered all over the floor and went to the kitchen.

Li Heng sat on the sofa, reached out to grab the receiver, and called the Harvest magazine without stopping.

Call to the editor-in-chief's office.

"Dongdongdongdongdong-··!"

Somewhat unexpectedly, the phone rang out, and Editor-in-Chief Liao's voice came from over there: "Hey, who?"

Li Heng said: "Senior brother, it's me."

"Oh! Junior brother, you finally appeared. Last evening, Teacher Yu called me back and said that you would go back to Lushan Village around 11 o'clock in the evening. I was so angry that I went to Lushan Village to find you this morning, but I was rejected." Editor Liao's words were very joking.

But Li Heng was frightened in his ears.

He subconsciously glanced at the stairs and asked tentatively: "When you go to Lushan Village, did you see Teacher Yu at home?"

Editor-in-chief Liao laughed loudly. After laughing for a while, he joked: "Is junior brother afraid of Teacher Yu?"

Li Heng understated: "Scared? Why are you afraid of her?"

Editor-in-chief Liao guessed his heart, but he didn't point it out and told him: "The doors and windows of Building No. 25 are closed. Or,

The doors of your four small buildings are locked and are not at home."

Upon hearing this, Li Heng felt heartbroken and apologized: "I was out for a while and came out early this morning. By the way, senior brother, you are rushing to summon me back. What's the matter?"

When talking about the serious matter, Editor Liao put away the joke and said seriously: "Didn't you reply to Mr. Jin Yong last time? He called me yesterday and asked if he could come to visit you tomorrow?"

Li Heng subconsciously asked: "Tomorrow?"

Editor-in-chief Liao said: "Yes, it's tomorrow."

Li Heng asked: "Have he already arrived inland?"

Editor-in-chief Liao said: "After receiving your reply, Mr. Jin Yong started to leave for the mainland. He passed the customs in the morning and is currently in Yangcheng."

Hearing this, Li Heng immediately said, "Yes, tomorrow will be tomorrow."

Editor-in-chief Liao said: "Okay, I will reply to the other party immediately. When there is an update, I will notify you as soon as possible."

"Yeah, good!"

He responded, then thought for a while, and then reported the landline number here to him.

Editor-in-chief Liao wrote down his phone number and said curiously: "Isn't this the number of Lushan Village?"

Li Heng replied: "This is from Huang Zhaoyi's house."

Editor Liao was confused, looked down at the number on the paper, his heart was shocked, and then lowered his voice and asked, "You and Zhaoyi?"

Li Heng said with a sneer and said, "Don't ask, curiosity kills the cat. You'll be right to reply to this call later."

Editor-in-chief Liao suddenly felt that the tea in front of him was no longer fragrant and he was itchy, but no matter how he tried it, the junior brother just didn't want to reveal his words.

After being slandered for a while, Editor Liao gave up asking, "By the way, junior brother, Mr. Jin Yong loves calligraphy and has a lot of research on ancient history. You can prepare a little in these two aspects, so you can have a topic to talk about after meeting."

Li Heng waved his hand and said confidently: "Small things, you haven't seen my words, these are all things I'm good at."

Editor-in-chief Liao had indeed seen Li Heng's calligraphy. He was so good at it, better than his own, so he felt relieved.

Li Heng thought of something and asked: "Have you ever revealed my age and identity to Mr. Jin Yong?"

Now it was Editor Liao's turn to laugh: "Not yet, I plan to surprise the other party. I want to see his surprised expression."

Yes, this senior brother is also very bad.

Li Heng asked: "Where should we meet?"

Editor-in-chief Liao said: "He wants to come to your house and visit your study. What do you think? If it is inconvenient, you can refuse and choose another place."

Li Heng thought for a while and agreed.

After talking about Jin Yong, Editor Liao changed the topic and talked about "Living" and "White Deer Plain": "Junior brother, congratulations!

After the overseas copyright of "Living" was licensed, it was sold on the other side of the Taiwan Strait. Currently, there are more than 100,000 copies in Xiangjiang.

The other side of the strait has exceeded 250,000 copies, and has been highly recommended by the media there. It is hailed as one of the top ten best books worth reading in 1988. I specially asked my friends to pay attention to the news there. It is said that 8 of these top ten good books are famous foreign literary works. The value is still very high."

After gaining another wave of fame and fortune, Li Heng was overjoyed, "How is the situation in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States?"

Mr. Jin Yong said: "These places require translation to be used in local languages, which takes time. They are not available yet, but you can still look forward to it."

Li Heng nodded. The book "Living" is famous and has good sales, but it has never won any decent literary awards. I have to say that this is a great regret.

Editor-in-chief Liao continued: "At present, "White Deer Plain" is being printed in large quantities, and the first batch of subscriptions in Xinhua Bookstore has already come out."

Li Heng hurriedly asked, "How many volumes?"

Editor-in-chief Liao, who was in good spirits, was at this time and kept it in a silence: "Guess."

Guess what a chicken!

Li Heng was so unconfident that he asked, "Do you have 100,000 copies?"

Editor-in-chief Liao smiled and said, "It's too late, guess again."

Li Heng asked: "150,000 copies?"

Editor-in-chief Liao said: "Can you be braver to enlarge your courage?"

Li Heng directly quoted a number: "Can you have 300,000 copies?"

Editor-in-chief Liao opened a page of the document, Nian Lai: "As of 11 am this morning, the first batch of subscriptions was 412,672 volumes. Congratulations again, junior brother, you broke the record again. These more than 410,000 volumes are enough to be recorded in the history of modern Chinese literary world!"

Although he guessed it, when he heard this number, Li Heng felt dizzy!

This is the first batch of subscriptions for Xinhua Bookstore, with 410,000 copies. Other writers may not be able to sell this amount in ten years.

It can be described as crazy!

It also shows that "White Deer Plain" is very popular in the market, indicating that his writer December is a golden signboard for living.

Readers are willing to buy it!

After a while of secret joy, Li Heng was completely relieved. The market gave him confidence and did not encounter a Waterloo in the first booking place. He was worthy of the praise of major media and the so-called "legendary writer".

After spending a lot of time to digest this good news, Li Heng asked: "How much is the price of "White Deer Plain"?"

Editor-in-chief Liao said: "8 yuan."

Li Heng's first reaction was: "So many? It's twice as high as "Living"!"

Editor-in-chief Liao explained: "It's twice as high. However, "White Deer Plain" has nearly 600,000 words, and "Alive" only 300,000 words. At the same time, the market is also changing, and wages and prices have been rising. 8 yuan is a decision we made cautiously after discussing and conducting market research.

Don't worry, it's not that I'll set a high price of 8 yuan when my brain is hot."

This reminded Li Heng of "The Waste City". The initial price was 12 yuan, but as a result, as the book was difficult to find, the price continued to rise.

At the highest point, it rose to 18 yuan per book.

With such a connection, um, 8 yuan seems not too high, and it is within the acceptable range.

Editor-in-chief Liao told him: "White Deer Plain is available on September 20, so you should pay attention to it. In addition, the new book sample,

How much do you need? I'll bring it to you tomorrow?"

Li Heng estimated and said, "Give me 30 books, be prepared for any trouble."

Editor-in-chief Liao responded happily and said that there was no problem.

The phone call was relatively long, and later it was discussed for a long time about various trivial matters in life and Mr. Ba's health before hanging up.

When Li Heng put back the receiver, he felt almost hungry and confused. He looked at the time and found that it had passed 2 o'clock.

Grandma, what a bear! I was already full last night, and I squeezed my belly dry after a few meals. Alas·

Sitting on the sofa for a while, he later called Li Wang and asked about the situation of the shoe factory. More than 10 minutes passed, and at some point he suddenly wanted to contact Teacher Yu, but when he realized his current position, he immediately stopped thinking.

Forget it, let's talk about it when you go back.

After two phone calls, Li Heng ran to the kitchen, but when he arrived at the door, he smelled a strong smell of meat. He felt refreshed and his taste buds widened.

He entered the kitchen and asked, "How many more dishes?"

Seeing him coming, Huang Zhaoyi smiled, picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up a piece of the best cooked meat to his mouth: "You are so hungry, it's going to be done soon. Three dishes have been prepared, and there is another vegetable behind it. Come, you can try the salty and light."

That is, the relationship between the two ushered in a qualitative change last night. If she had let go, she would not dare to feed him so boldly.

Li Heng looked at her and opened his mouth with great shame. He ate the cooked meat into his mouth. After chewing it for a few bites, he praised it, "It tastes delicious, it tastes good! Come on, give me another piece."

Hearing this, Huang Zhaoyi was in a good mood and immediately fed two pieces of meat for him to eat.

While eating, Li Heng spoke nonsense: "You have a certain talent in cooking, don't waste it. Try to learn all the common Hunan cuisine home-cooked dishes, so that I will have a good time in the future."

Huang Zhaoyi kept this in mind, thinking that if she turned around, she would take time to learn how to cook.

She understood that such an opportunity was rare, and he had never made any requests to himself before. Now that he could make requests, it proved that he really treated himself as his woman.

For him, this may be just a small step.

But it means a lot to her, and it is a big leap, which makes her ecstatic and full of energy!

Seeing that she was focused on cooking, Li Heng stared at her side for a while, and had to say that she was still very beautiful when she threw out her previous prejudices. From her figure, appearance, temperament, and cultural level, she couldn't pick any thorns.
