Huang Little Chef entered the kitchen and Ye Tian followed.
"Old Master, why are you here?”
Seeing Ye Tian, Chef Huang hurriedly said,""A gentleman stays away from the kitchen. You're a great writer.”
"That's all in the past."
Ye Tian waved his hand.""I'm just looking. You do your thing.”
When the audience in the live broadcast room saw this scene, they all laughed.
This old man was actually interested in Huang Little Chef's cooking.
Teacher He smiled and said to Sister Zifeng, who was helping to wash the vegetables,"Did you see that? Teacher Huang's culinary skills have successfully attracted the old master to the kitchen.”
Sister Zifeng immediately laughed.
Ye Tian, on the other hand, came to Chef Huang's side and smiled when he saw him preparing the lettuce.""Rhubarb, if this lettuce is directly mixed with salad, this shredded one is also fine.”
"Do you like it?"
Little Chef Huang asked Ye Tian.
Ye Tian blinked and waved his hand innocently.""No, no, no, I didn't mean that.”
"You're welcome, Old Master. I'll mix one for you. It's no problem.”
said Little Chef Huang.
"Then let's mix one."
Ye Tian laughed.
Teacher He and the others were surprised, and the viewers in the stream didn't expect Ye Tian to start ordering.
At this moment.
Ye Tian saw something from the corner of his eye and said,""Big Yellow, what do you think of this cauliflower?”
？？？？
？？？？
Chef Huang was stunned.
He turned to Ye Tian and asked cautiously,""Old Master, do you have any ideas?”
"Oh, no, no."
Ye Tian waved his hands innocently.
Little Chef Huang was a smart man, so he immediately understood Ye Tian's meaning and asked with a smile,""Are you saying that you want to stir-fry some vegetables?”
"No, no, no…"
Ye Tian waved his hand.
"Sure, I can make it for you," said Chef Huang.”
"That would be great."
Ye Tian smiled brightly.
Teacher He and the others were dumbfounded. In just a short while, the old man had asked Chef Huang to add two more dishes.
"Ahem, well, Old Master, why don't we go to the side and rest?”
Teacher He said helplessly.
In just a short while, they had already added two dishes. If they continued to add, they would run out of ingredients.
The audience in the live broadcast room was already laughing uncontrollably.
"Hahahahaha!"
"This is too funny!"
"I'm dying of laughter. This old man knows his tricks!”
"Little Chef Huang has walked the longest path, and that is the old master's way of doing things.”
"You're right."
"I got it, I got it completely!"
"Definitely."
"This old man is too funny.”
“………………”
The audience in the live broadcast room had all sorts of comments, but it was obvious that everyone found this interaction very interesting.
This old man was really too funny.
Sure enough, the old man was shrewd. This roundabout hint forced Little Chef Huang to give in.
……………………
In order to prevent Ye Tian from causing trouble in the kitchen, Teacher He pulled him to sit down in the courtyard and chat.
"Old Master, did you pay royalties when you wrote books in the past?”
Teacher He asked, remembering that Ye Tian was also a writer.
"Not bad, 20%."
Ye Tian nodded.
He was telling the truth.
During the period of the Republic of China, royalties had always been very high.
Even for literary giants like Zhou Shuren and Hu Shi, the royalties of the first edition would reach 15% or 20%. If it was a second edition, it would be 20% or 25%.
Liang Qichao was the highest in the early years, able to reach 40%.
Mr. Liang had even suggested that he would print the paper himself and sell it at a 40% discount.
It meant that he would pay for the printing himself, and the bookstore would help him sell it, and the author would take 60% of the money sold.
The reason for this was actually very simple. It was because books during the Republic of China were very expensive.
At that time, there were very few scholars, and there were even fewer people who could write books and publish them. Therefore, not only did scholars receive high royalties, but the price of books was also ridiculously expensive.
In the novel Divorce, there was such a plot: His colleagues advised Old Li not to buy books. If he saved the money he spent on books every month, he could buy a small house in Yanjing in a few years.
From this, one could see that something was unusual.
Thinking about it, a few years of money could buy a house in Yanjing. This was simply a fantasy in the modern world, but it was a fact in the Republic of China.
Otherwise, why would Zhang Henshui be able to buy a mansion in Yanjing with just one book?
"That's not low either."
Teacher He blinked and asked,"Do you have any other hobbies besides writing?”
"Yes, I do."
Ye Tian nodded, smiling." When I have nothing to do, I like to listen to opera. When I was in Tianjin, Li Shoumin often dragged me to listen to the drama of the Xieqing Club.”
"Ah?"
Teacher He was stunned. He didn't expect this old man to be a fan of Beijing opera.
But what was this Xieqing Society? Was it a troupe from Tianjin?
