Chapter 28

Li Ye settled Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, which was considered solving the problem of accompanying personnel to the provincial capital.

At this time, Hao Jian raised a new problem: "If the two of us go to the provincial capital, we need at least two bicycles! One bike has to carry goods and can't carry people."

Qingshui County is forty kilometers away from the provincial capital. It takes two or three hours by bicycle, and faster by car.

But if you carry one or two hundred jin of hemp candy on a car, there will be a lot of trouble in this day and age. Not to mention tiring people to death, there are inspection stations along the way!

However, Li Ye was well prepared. Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng had his own bicycle, and Li Ye could swap bicycles with Li Dayong to ride, which would be enough for the startup stage.

Hearing Li Ye's affirmative answer, Hao Jian basically set his heart at ease.

But a smart person must think more comprehensively, so he asked about Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's character, implying whether he was a reckless man who liked to fight.

Li Ye said: "You don't need to worry about this. Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng is very shrewd. He is tough when he should be tough and soft when he should be soft. He has a whole set of skills to bluff people.

Besides, he is also very familiar with the county town. You can ask him when buying raw materials. With him following you, many things will be much easier to handle."

Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng being shrewd was the conclusion drawn by Li Ye's grandfather. The old man, who had seen countless people, must have a standard for judging people.

Hao Jian nodded and asked again: "Bluffing, how do you bluff?"

Li Ye casually picked up a brick from the wall, held it in one hand, and chopped it with the other.

"Crack!"

The solid blue brick was split into two sections with one slap.

"Just bluff like this. Sometimes I even take a brick and slap it on my own head..."

Hao Jian understood completely. It turns out the guy is a street performer. Not to mention whether he can bluff others, Li Ye's move definitely bluffed him.

Hao Jian and Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's ability to handle things was very strong. Two days later, they boiled the first batch of hemp candy, about one hundred and eighty jin.

The load limit of the "28-inch" bicycle has never had a fixed number. The black uncles in Africa often carry four hundred jin. Although that is a life-risking job, it also reflects the design characteristics of this type of heavy-duty bicycle from the side.

Li Ye proposed to Li Dayong to swap bicycles to ride, and Li Dayong agreed happily.

Although his bear-like body looked somewhat incongruous riding on a 26-inch Phoenix, how could his broken National Defense bike, which rattled, compare to Li Ye's brand-new Phoenix?

After swapping bikes, Li Dayong rode around the main streets of the county town twice, and he was almost happy to death in the middle of winter.

Li Ye went to deliver the bicycle to Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng. Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and Hao Jian agreed to leave early tomorrow morning. Hao Jian had to go to Chenzhuang Township tonight to watch Hao Jian weigh and load the car.

However, when he arrived at the entrance of Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's small courtyard, there was another twist.

"Fellow apprentice, let me go too! I don't want money... just give me candy to eat... not much... one liang a day..."

A child with broad shoulders and a strong body, but with a silly look in his eyes, pinched Li Ye's sleeve and begged Li Ye to take him along with eager eyes.

Li Ye sighed, not knowing what to say.

This child is called Wang Jianqiang, a little friend Li Ye had known since childhood, but his brain was too "honest" and he wasn't material for doing business.

But he was rejected several times after being recruited into the factory. His parents and brothers at home didn't like him, and even complained that he wasted food when eating. His life was truly difficult.

Now that Wang Jianqiang begged him, if you didn't agree, it would seem too cold-blooded.

Li Ye had to ask: "Qiangzi, I don't object to you following your Brother Peng to the provincial capital, but do your family members agree?"

Qiangzi nodded repeatedly and said: "They don't care about me. I've been eating at Brother Peng's house for the past two days, and they don't look for me..."

Jin Peng hurriedly said: "Little Ye, don't overthink it. I'll take Qiangzi with me. Meals and such are on me. Anyway, it's two cents per jin, and it's enough for both of us to eat."

"What kind of talk is that?"

Li Ye was unhappy. He took out five yuan and stuffed it to Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, saying: "Take good care of Qiangzi on the road. Don't be reckless when things happen. We are going out to seek wealth, not to get angry..."

"Xiao Ye, what are you doing? I haven't even worked yet, why do you want to give money..."

"These five yuan are for Qiangzi's meal money. You still get your two cents per jin; each is calculated separately as two different things."

Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng pushed and pulled with Li Ye for a while before finally accepting the money, sighing and praising Li Ye for being righteous.

After Li Ye arranged for Hao Jian and the others to "break into the provincial capital," he returned to school to busy himself with his novel.

Although the hemp candy business is an "immediate" trade, once started, there can be visible quick money profits.

But Li Ye only indirectly controls this business. Hao Jian is obedient now, but when the profit from wholesaling hemp candy reaches a certain level, accidents might not necessarily not happen.

Money is really a test of a person's character.

So for the sake of safety, Li Ye still prepared to walk on two legs to earn his first pot of gold as soon as possible.

If he goes to Beijing for school next year, he must have a small nest to settle down in Beijing, right?

Although Li Ye didn't intend to use "hoarding houses" to get rich, there was no reason not to get some oil and water from the fat meat in front of him.

【How much was a courtyard house in '82?】

Li Ye started the biological hard drive in his mind and found the corresponding clue information.

In '82, there was already legal trading of houses in Beijing. A courtyard house with a small area but a good location could be taken down for one or two thousand yuan.

What is the concept of one or two thousand yuan in this era?

Li Ye's grandfather's monthly salary was a little over one hundred. Besides supporting a large family, he could probably save twenty or thirty a month.

That is to say, if you save a little, you could probably buy a courtyard in five, six, seven, or eight years, but the premise is that there shouldn't be any major expenses within these years, and the courtyard houses in Beijing shouldn't rise in price.

Is it possible?

The station has arrived, it's time to wake up.

By '86, one set rose to ten thousand.

Ten thousand! Would a ten-thousand-yuan household take out all their family assets to buy a broken house?

Ordinary people would definitely be reluctant.

But this price, in Li Ye's eyes, might not even use up the royalties of a novel.

【Must write filler, and must write it with a high level.】

Li Ye made up his mind to reverse-translate "Lurk," which was adapted from a short story, into a medium-length novel, and he had to make it ten or twenty thousand words anyway.

However, when Li Ye wrote a detailed outline according to the plot content of the TV series, he felt that if he wrote ten or twenty thousand words, it seemed there wasn't much filler.

The TV series version of "Lurk" added too much plot content compared to the novel version of "Lurk."

And the character portrayal in the TV series version gave Li Ye a three-dimensional impression, which allowed him to clearly grasp the writing direction of the character settings, making it easier and more accurate to write.

Character setting is an unavoidable hurdle in a novel and the soul of a book.

Li Ye is writing "Lurk" now, and when writing about Yu Zecheng, his mind is full of Sun Honglei's shadow.

Perhaps his performance at the time wasn't necessarily all acted according to the novel characters, but there is no doubt that he (Yu Zecheng) was successful, and Li Ye only needs to "skin" it.

But if we look at it the other way around, let Li Ye create a Yu Zecheng from scratch on a blank sheet of paper?

Then Li Ye would have to constantly ponder in his mind, fleshing out this protagonist character stroke by stroke, and if an accident occurred midway, he would have to repeatedly modify it.

One is ready-made skinning, and the other is brand-new construction. Is the difficulty just a few times different?

This is also one of the reasons why fan-fiction web novels are easier to get started with in later generations, but not easy to break through.

For example, the courtyard house literature that suddenly became popular and attracted countless writers to crowd together is a typical representative.

In the era of precise short video delivery, many readers have seen wonderful clips of the TV series and have more or less impressions of Qin Huairu's seductive eyes and the plot clips of Silly Zhu being shrewd and xx.

As long as it's courtyard house literature, it only takes a few hundred words at the beginning to achieve or even exceed the effect of ten or twenty thousand words of other web novels.

【Qin Huairu, a shrewd little widow, a vampire who threw herself on Silly Zhu, hooked Silly Zhu so that his soul was lost, and he was willing to support Qin Huairu and her son, daughter, and her original mother-in-law.】

【Silly Zhu is a first-time marriage, with a level 6 salary plus extra income, he can have more than sixty a month, living in three rooms by himself... Qin Huairu is a second marriage, with three children, plus a mother-in-law, a level 2 worker with a monthly salary of twenty-something.

But several old men in the courtyard tried their best to match the two and persuaded Sha Zhu not to miss this big bargain.】

I believe that after readers finish reading this paragraph, combined with the TV series clips in their minds, they clearly understand what kind of tea-bitch character the author is describing.

But what if there is no such TV series?

If the author wants to establish Qin Huairu's image in the reader's mind stroke by stroke through words, it will take more time, more ink, and more effort.

And in this process, the Qin Huairu outlined by the author might not be the "brilliant" Qin Huairu in the TV series. Maybe it deviated eighteen miles away before realizing with annoyance, "What kind of thing is this?"

But if there is an excellent actor in the mind who interprets a character image that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and recognized by the public for the author, can the author not save effort?

Of course, the difficulty of fan fiction lies in the fact that it is not easy to break through. After all, the character prototype is already there. If you want to change it, it will be extremely difficult.

In '81, there was no TV series "Lurk," but Li Ye had countless wonderful and successful character images in his mind. Isn't this that "what" and "what"?

Li Ye felt he was too smart, saving effort so much that no one could see through it.

He spread out a stack of letter paper, devoted himself wholeheartedly, and began to write the first chapter of "Lurk."

【Yu Zecheng is responsible for monitoring, and he deeply agrees with the content of the conversation of the progressive people........】

As Li Ye wrote, he vaguely noticed that his deskmate, the little agent, had habitually stretched her neck to peek at his writing content.

【Is he really writing a novel?】

Watching Wen Leyu was immediately full of admiration for Li Ye. Although she didn't know how well Li Ye would write yet, in this era of '81, daring to write a novel already surpassed countless peers.

But soon, Watching Wen Leyu was surprised, and then tightly frowned, as if she was very unhappy.

【He... why did he write about a dog agent?】
