Yang Rui came to pick up his takeaway.

A meal of beef every day is normal for later middle school students, but in 1982, only township restaurants like Shi Gui could provide it. If it was a big city with strict tickets, Yang Rui could not afford the meat tickets needed just.

Of course, without meat tickets, the price of beef is also quite obvious. After more than a week, Yang Rui used up two royalties, which was equivalent to eating the salary of an adult.

Despite this, Yang Rui was also happy. The effect of consuming high protein in large quantities is very good, and he can clearly feel his muscles swelling. In another two months, he may be able to grow longer.

As for the published manuscript, it only takes a few minutes to choose and a few minutes to copy and rewrite, so how can it be more important than the body?

When Yang Rui saw Hu Yanshan and his party, he was only confused for a moment and kept walking over.

Hu Yanshan suddenly didn't know what to say, and asked him what the way to make money was? See if he really received the royalties?

If others don’t say it, what can I do? If it were Yang Rui and Hu Yanshan, who had been too lazy to ask questions, he would snatch them and read them.

But now Yang Rui... Hu Yanshan inexplicably thought of the group of people surrounding the bench press rack at the west end of the playground. After this period of exercise, not to mention how strong these guys are, their relationship with Yang Rui is much closer. There are no boys who grow up in the township who dare not fight. If he is arrogant, with Yang Rui's current temper, the result will be unpredictable.

"Uncle, do you have my letter?" Just as Hu Yanshan was thinking about it, Yang Rui had already walked to the communication room, took out the takeaway, handed over another cigarette to the gatekeeper, and then started to find his remittance form.

The Dog-headed Military Advisor did not have as many concerns as Hu Yanshan. He ran up in two steps at a time and said with a smirk: "Yang Rui, have you made a pen friend?"

As he said that, his eyes rolled.

People in the 1980s made pen pals like chatting with strangers on QQ. Some people could chat for a few years, while others wrote more than ten pages of paper and sent letters four or five times a month.

Similarly, just as students who talk about QQ will use learning to type to cover up their behavior, students who make pen pals will use learning to cover up their behavior. The school’s communication room has letters from all over the country almost every day.

Yang Rui turned his head and looked at him, saying, "Why are you that Dong?"

"Brothers, call me Military Advisor Dong." The dog-headed military advisor bowed his hand as he learned the scene.

Yang Rui said "Oh" and pulled out several of his own letters from the pile of letters in the window.

He was worried about reviewing the article for the first time, so he sent different articles to several magazines, preparing to mail the rejections in a circular manner in the future.

However, the number of magazines in the early 1980s and the few high-level manuscripts was beyond his expectations. Most magazines have successively published his manuscripts. Now half a month has passed, and it is the time when the manuscript remuneration has arrived one after another.

The dog-headed military advisor was sharp-eyed and suddenly saw the big words "High School Chemistry".

"There is really a royalty fee..." He muttered to himself.

Yang Rui smiled, pierced the envelope in his hand, and turned around to leave.

"Hey, Yang Rui, Yang Rui, let's take a look." The dog-headed military advisor stopped him.

Students of this era all have a literary heart, and the Dog-headed military advisor has also sent poems and novels to understand some issues about royalties.

He calculated clearly that the manuscript fee for an article is usually dozens of yuan. Only one magazine like People's Literature has a capped manuscript fee of 100 yuan per thousand words. However, no matter how it is calculated, one or two manuscript fees are not enough for Yang Rui to open up eating beef.

Yang Rui must have other ways to make money.

The dog-headed military advisor wanted to prove it based on this.

Yang Rui was not very happy and asked, "Do you want to read my letter?"

Private letters are naturally not allowed to be seen.

"That's not what it means." The Dog-headed military advisor sold Shi Gui in a blink of an eye and pointed at him and said, "This guy said you have charged a lot of royalties. I'm not curious."

The meaning of reading manuscript fees and reading letters is completely different.

Shi Gui was anxious: "What do you mean? What do you mean? You asked..."

"I asked, and then you said it." Military commander Dong turned his head and smiled, "Yang Rui, brothers have heard of it, but no one expected that there is a great writer in our school. Okay, take out the royalties and let us know more."

Yang Rui looked at Shi Gui deeply, knowing what was going on.

In this, although Shi Gui is big-mouthed, it is not difficult for others to guess.

"Okay. Let you see." Yang Rui quickly browsed the source of the letter, and opened one of them with confidence, thinking: Brighten your krypton gold dog eyes.

A group of people at the school gate surrounded them. None of the individuals present had seen what the royalties were like.

Hu Yanshan rubbed his feet and quietly stood in the outer circle. He was not low, and with a little bit of foot, he could see Yang Rui's movements inside.

I saw a letter written by "Science Life" magazine torn apart from the edge by Yang Rui.

It is not a remittance slip, but a folded text message.

Yang Rui unfolded slowly, and it was indeed a notice that the "Biosphere" he wrote was published by the popular science magazine "Science Pictorial".

Unlike those science papers, this "Biosphere" is a popular science article written by Yang Rui himself. It is based on the upcoming Biosphere 2 experiment in the United States, which is a miniature artificial ecological circulation system that attempts to simulate the earth's environment.

The Biosphere 2 experiment is very famous and meaningful. It is to test whether humans can survive without the earth.

If possible, the so-called lunar immigration and the so-called Mars immigration have the minimum biological basis.

If not, no matter how advanced rockets and spacecraft are, humans cannot immigrate to Mars.

In other words, the primary condition for immigration to outer space is the success of the biosphere experiment, which was the case in the 1980s, the 1990s, and the 21st century.

Without the premise of successful biosphere experiments, all reports of immigrating to outer space are ignorant journalists who act like hooligans.

Unfortunately, the Biosphere 2 experiment failed.

However, in 1982, people were still full of expectations for the Biosphere 2 experiment that had not yet begun, and many wonderful universe imaginations filled all over the world.

This is the best popular science topic.

The most important thing is that this kind of popular science article can be written very long and does not require too good writing. Relying on rigorous reasoning to prove that the inevitable failure of Biosphere 2 is already a beautiful popular science article.

So, based on what he knew, some of the knowledge he learned, and some information, Yang Rui wrote an article of 30,000 words without hesitation, divided into two parts, and sent it to "Science Pictorial".

This is also the popular science magazine with the highest royalties that Yang Rui knows. The reward of 65 yuan for a thousand words and 33,000 words is 2,145 yuan, which is more than Secretary Yang's two-year salary. It is enough to buy a 14-inch black and white TV. It is so high that it is unbearable to look at it.

Now that the notice has been published, Yang Rui has no need to waste time writing copying for a long time.

It is also quite interesting to end your plagiarism with your own articles.

However, Junshi Dong and others were deeply shocked.

This is the Science Pictorial.

Students at Xibao Middle School may not know that the number of single-issue distributions of "Science Pictorial" at this time was as many as one million copies, or they may not understand the concept of how terrifying the volume of million copies was, or they may not guess that this is a record-making magazine in the era of record-making.

But who hasn't read the Science Pictorial?

"Yang Rui, your articles and journals are in the Science Pictorial?" Shi Gui spoke earlier than others. Although he was thirty years old and busy running a hotel, in this era of the nation's literary youth, Shi Gui occasionally reads Science Pictorial.

How can people living in the town not read "Science Pictorial"?

Yang Rui nodded slightly and said, "It should be the next issue, it seems like he's been in line."

"Ah!" Military Secretary Dong suddenly shouted: "No matter which magazine you published it in, what about the manuscript fee? How much is the manuscript fee?"

He really wanted to prove that Yang Rui had other ways to make money.

"It should be in another letter." Yang Rui calmly found another envelope with the words "Science Pictorial". He was not prepared to hide his income, at least he did not need to hide his current income. Otherwise, his current and subsequent large expenses would be even more unexplainable.

On the other hand, with the beginning of reform and opening up, royalties have gradually become a cleaner income. When it is announced, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

The thin envelope was gently cut.

Yang Rui directly took out the remittance form inside and showed it openly in front of everyone.

2037.40 yuan.

A few simple Arabic numerals, like sound absorbers, make the surroundings silent.
