It was getting late, and the street lights on the street were already on. The dim yellow light passed through the gaps in the leaves and shone mottledly on the street.
Tang Tang pickled fish.
There were not many diners in the store anymore. Tang Xin, who was serving food and wine to the guests, glanced at the door from time to time, frowning slightly and looking slightly doubtful.
again and again.
Finally, when she cast doubtful eyes on the door again, Tang Tang coughed at the bar, attracting Tang Xin's eyes.
Tangtang frowned and looked at her, "Why are you always looking out the door tonight? Are there handsome guys outside?"
Tang Xin curled her lips slightly, rolled her eyes slightly, and whispered back to her: "What are you talking about?"
Tangtang glared at her, but didn't say anything more.
Just a few more minutes passed, and there was only one young couple dining in the store. Finally, there was a sound of unhurried footsteps at the door. Tang Xin, who was clearing the table, turned around and looked with a pair of calm eyes.
It lit up instantly, and I subconsciously walked towards it quickly.
"Brother Quan! Why did you come so late tonight? I thought you wouldn't come tonight."
Yes! The person who walked in at this time was none other than Sun Quan, an old street guy.
All black, like a crow.
Black v-neck T-shirt, black jeans, black canvas sneakers.
Seeing Tang Xin trotting up to him happily, Sun Quan unconsciously showed a smile and nodded slightly, "I wrote an extra chapter this afternoon, so it's a little late!"
Tangtang at the bar probably heard it and snorted coldly.
Sun Quan heard it, but he didn't bother to glance at her and just thought she was farting. After all, for such a long time, he had already become accustomed to Tang Tang looking at him displeased.
Tang Xin couldn't suppress the smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
"Oh, that's it! Brother Quan, sit down quickly! What do you want to eat tonight? I'll tell Brother Fei."
Sun Quan chose a table and sat down at random with a smile, "Let's have a piece of scrambled eggs with chili, a piece of shredded pork with pickled vegetables, and a piece of braised pork ribs!"
The subscription result was good today and he wanted to add a meal.
A flash of joy flashed in Tang Xin's eyes. She knew that his new book would be on the shelves today. With such a luxurious meal of three dishes tonight, his new book should be selling well.
"Hey! Okay! Sit down for a moment, I'll go tell Brother Fei about it!"
She trotted to the kitchen with brisk steps.
Sun Quan's eyes followed her youthful and graceful back, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was so freehand.
The new book subscription was good, and it was like a ray of sunshine shining into his heart. The nerves that had been tense recently because it was about to be released were completely relaxed, and the whole person became relaxed and calm from the inside out.
Tangtang at the bar gave him a cold look and snorted again.
She just couldn't stand how enthusiastic her sister was to this poor guy who wrote novels every day, and she couldn't get enough of it.
This time, Sun Quan turned his eyes slightly and met her eyes.
When he thought about it, a smile appeared on his lips, and his left eye suddenly winked at her, like a wink.
A disgusted expression suddenly appeared on Tangtang's face, and he immediately looked away.
When Sun Quan saw her, the smile on his lips became even thicker. This woman gave him a look every day, and today he finally felt disgusted with her.
It's a bit cool.
After a while, Tang Xin came out of the kitchen quickly, "Brother Quan! Do you want to drink tonight?"
"Well, bring me two bottles of cold beer!"
"Hey! Okay!"
She quickly brought two bottles of ice-cold Snow Beer, and skillfully picked up the wrench on the table to open the wine for Sun Quan. Sun Quan looked at it with a smile and raised his eyebrows at her, "Would you like to have a drink with me?"
Tang Xin subconsciously glanced at Tang Tang in the bar, frowned slightly, let out a sigh, shook her head slightly, and whispered: "Forget it! My sister is here..."
Sun Quan laughed, but did not try to persuade him again.
He took the glass of beer she poured for him and took a sip when he heard her ask in a lowered voice: "Hey! Brother Quan, by the way, how are your results on the shelves today? Are there many people paying to watch?"
"
Sun Quan looked up at her and saw the expectant look on her face, so he nodded with a smile, "Not bad!"
The store was not busy at this time, so Tang Xin thought for a while, then pulled out the chair opposite Sun Quan and sat down, as if she was ready to talk to him about a few more cents.
"Then...Brother Quan! Then how much money do you estimate you will earn each month from this book?"
Tang Xin's eyes were full of curiosity.
For her, writing novels is a completely unfamiliar industry. Among the people she knows, Sun Quan is the only one.
At the bar, Tang Tang had very sharp ears. Although Tang Xin asked the question in a low voice, there were few people in the store at this time and the store was small, so she heard it and glanced slightly here.
Sun Quan replied casually: "Well, there should be three to five thousand!"
He made several discounts on the manuscript fee he had estimated in his mind.
This is his habit. No matter how much he earns every month, he always says three to five thousand.
He had tried to tell the truth to people before, but the consequences of telling the truth often resulted in two different reactions.
For example, when a new book of his was on the market, someone asked him how much he earned per month. He told the truth, one or two thousand a month, and then he would see the joke in the other person's eyes.
Also, when he occasionally makes some achievements with a book and earns seven to eight thousand a month, and occasionally more than ten thousand, and someone asks him how much he earns every month, and he tells the truth, the other person's expression will suddenly change.
It was very exciting, filled with surprise, envy, and doubt.
Over time, he became accustomed to saying only three to five thousand when others asked him about his income.
If you ask this year, it will be three to five thousand, next year, and the year after that. No matter what year someone asks, he will only say three to five thousand. He is as stable as a civil servant holding an iron rice bowl.
And at this time...
Neither of the Tang sisters knew he had this habit. When they heard that he could earn about three to five thousand a month in the future, Tang Xin was surprised and happy, "Ah? You can earn so much? That's amazing! Brother Quan! You
marvelous!"
Tangtang at the bar curled his lips and sneered, with a look of disbelief on his face.
These days, the average office worker only earns a few hundred yuan a month, while the better ones can earn over a thousand yuan.
Three to five thousand a month is a reasonably high income.
At least that's the case in this M city.
The three dishes ordered by Sun Quan were prepared and served one by one. The last dish was brought by Kuang Longfei himself because there were no other customers in the store and he was temporarily free.
He didn't leave even after the last dish was brought to the table. He smiled and sat down to drink and chat with Sun Quan.
…
By the time Sun Quan slowly rode his bicycle back to his residence and turned on his computer, it was already early 8 p.m.
