Chapter 897: Invite someone to make a film, from the memory of old Beijing(1/2)
"What are you busy with these days?"
"The Writers Association has held a signing event and has been busy with this for the past few days."
Li Dong poured tea for several people and said with a smile. "Last time I said I would give you a signature book, but I haven't delivered it."
Speaking, Li Dong took out several red sorghum books signed by him and handed them to several people.
"Thanks."
Liu Qingqing took it with a smile. "By the way, no new book has been released recently?"
"I just talked about one book and I will be able to publish it next month, from Youth Publishing House, and from childhood."
"novel?"
"yes."
"A short story, a medium story."
"sharp."
“Not arguably.”
Li Dong didn't hide it from it, and he talked about some of the experiences in the ordinary world.
"A book that men don't like."
This is a bit fake. Some people don’t like this book. Even Lu Yao was not willing to publish this book back then. The editors of major publishing houses rejected it at first glance. They could only find first-rate and third-rate magazines to publish the first one, but others were unwilling to publish the second one.
Fortunately, I went to China Central Radio and Television and read a round of books. According to the current words, with traffic and popularity, high-end people don’t like it, but we still have the public, so it’s enough for readers to like it. Of course, it’s more to follow the crowd at the beginning.
After all, the advertising effect of the radio was absolutely just right. Unfortunately, Lu Yao didn't make much money back then and didn't pay enough money. It has to be said that it was a kind of sadness. Li Dong was not afraid. He had money and the copyright was taken into his hands.
"I think it's pretty good."
"Yes, it's quite interesting."
Li Dong casually talked about the plot, but Liu Qingqing and Guo Xiujiao thought it was pretty good. I think it was similar back then, and readers still quite agree with it. As for the entire editor, what if the mainstream circle doesn’t agree with it?
In the end, I forced the Contradiction Literature Award. If you don’t recognize your elders, the public will recognize you. Now it’s just a trough. If you don’t talk about your works, people will also have such times. Peking University does not recognize great men. When he was like a grass, he would read it decades later.
"I've published it back, I'll give you one."
"Okay, don't forget."
Waiting for Huang Shengnan to come, it was a little fun again. Li Dong invited a few people to Donglaishun to eat mutton. Huang Shengnan asked Huang Desheng to take up his position early. Yes, Huang Desheng, the royal tool, is really easy to use.
"Sister, here, here."
When we arrived in Donglaishun, Huang Shengde had already ordered it and occupied several positions. Hurry up and went there.
"Is it pretty good?"
"That's not, this place is Donglaishun."
"How much is the mutton cut?"
"Three discs."
"It's too little, let's get five kilograms first."
Puchi, Huang Shengnan photographed Li Dong, stop making trouble.
"Hey, there is also iron plate barbecue?"
"Can you do it yourself?"
"Can."
"Then two more pounds of marinated lamb."
Li Dong is good at barbecue, and of course he also brings some seasonings. Donglaishun mutton is good, but the seasonings are almost interesting now and the taste is OK. Add some seasonings to make it more fragrant.
“It feels better.”
"It's okay."
I still have some tricks on barbecue, especially the seasonings that span time and space are all made of large ingredients provided by Li Dong. If you come here and grind them, it will definitely be a top-notch thing.
"It smells so good."
There was a table of young people next to him, smelling the fragrance, which was different. "I'll go and ask."
Li Dong was eating at this table, and a chef-like person came over. "Is there anything wrong?" Li Dong thought he would not allow drinking. Some steaming restaurants had signs that prohibit drinking, but they didn't see it here.
"This comrade, this is true. We cannot carry ingredients in the store."
"Ingredients, no, I brought some seasonings. I came from the south and I was a little uncomfortable with the tastes of the north."
Li Dong explains.
"Can I see the seasoning?"
"Of course not."
What a joke, this is a secret recipe.
"Secret recipe, sorry, the family passes on to men but not women." Li Dong said.
There is no way, the secret recipe, this thing is used for pickling mutton in Donglaishun, and most people don’t teach it.
"That……."
"You go and do it."
A middle-aged chef said to the young chef, "You guys, can you try it?" He also gave him a free dish of marinated mutton. In order to taste the Li Dong brand barbecue, try it.
The taste is really good. After tasting, this person started to buy Li Dong's secret recipe.
"purchase?"
Just kidding, Li Dong waved his hand. "I won't sell it for the time being."
“We offer a high price.”
“High price?”
Li Dong gestured a finger. "Okay, so much."
"Is one thousand a little higher?"
The chef was a little dumbfounded, so he dared to ask for it.
"What a joke, a thousand."
Li Dong looked speechless, one thousand yuan, this little money. "I don't want much, one hundred thousand." He originally wanted to offer a price of one million, but when he thought that in 1980s, there was so much money, he probably might not be able to take it out.
"How many?"
What a good guy, not only chefs, but also Huang Desheng, Guo Xiujiao and Liu Qingqing were all scared. Only Huang Shengnan was calm, which was 100,000 yuan. In her opinion, it was not much. After all, now she is worth one million yuan, Li Dong is even more amazing.
"Comrade, are you kidding."
"No, I don't think it's too much for one hundred thousand."
Li Dong said. "After all, it's a secret recipe. Besides, I'm not short of money. If I didn't think you are sincere, let alone 100,000, so what if you were 200,000."
Huang Shengdexin said that his brother-in-law was really bold, and he would say 100,000 and 200,000. Don’t make trouble. Now there is a rich person who can be considered as 10,000 or 200,000. Generally, good university professors are only 200 to 300 a month, and the leaders of state-owned enterprises do not have much more than 500 a month.
There are thousands of dollars a year, and people like this have to consider it if they want to take out 100,000 yuan. There are too many things that can be done for 100,000 yuan. The best location in Beijing is a good courtyard, and more than ten small courtyards are located in a remote area.
Liu Qingqing and Guo Xiujiao thought to themselves that they were almost the same as Huang Shengde.
The chef also looked at Li Dong with a little anger. "Master, this person deliberately did it, if he didn't sell it, he wouldn't sell it."
"That's right, one hundred thousand, why don't you have one million?"
When Li Dong saw it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with the price he offered, and he never thought that these people were very indignant.
"Comrade, I think it's not much."
"one thousand?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "How about I buy your secret recipe, give you two thousand?"
"You're kidding."
"No."
Speaking, Li Dong took out a stack of foreign exchange coupons. "Look, is it enough?"
"What's this?"
"One hundred, hahaha, when will this person have a hundred yuan?"
“Forex coupons?”
Huang Shengde's eyes lit up. There were so many, one hundred, at least a few thousand yuan.
“Forex coupons?”
The chef still knew it and looked at Li Dong. "I'm disturbed, comrade, let's go."
"Master, this person &..."
