Manor Romance

Chapter 126

"Why, a writer should have a high income and be envied by others, right?" Lu Ci asked puzzled.

Yun Li stretched out his index finger, shook it, and said, "Let me ask you, do the punctuation marks in the article count as part of the manuscript fee?"

"It should be counted. Is there any way to do it?" Lu Ci asked curiously.

Yunli replied: "It was not counted in the past. Once, the editor sent Mr. Lu Xun the manuscript fee. Mr. Lu Xun counted the money. He said that it was wrong. The manuscript fee was less. The editor quickly asked what was wrong. Mr. Lu Xun said that the article in the article The punctuation mark was not included in the manuscript fee for him, so the editor explained that this is a common practice, and the writers know that punctuation marks are not included in the manuscript fee, and Mr. Lu Xun didn’t say anything.”

"And then?" Lu Ci asked.

"The next time I receive an article by Mr. Lu Xun, the editor finds that there is no punctuation mark on it, and the article without sentence breaks is unreadable. If you mark it yourself, it is easy to misunderstand the original intention of the author. The editor can only ask Mr. Lu Xun. Lu Xun The husband explained that since punctuation marks are not considered money, he didn’t waste any ink on them, and let the editors mark them themselves. After this incident, the publishing house also included punctuation marks in the manuscript fee. You said this It’s no different from selling vegetables, even the punctuation marks have to be distinguished.” Yun Li said with a smile.

"That's not true. I think writers nowadays should thank Mr. Lu Xun. Think about how many punctuation marks there are in an article or a novel." Lu Ci also said with a smile.

"The writer wants to thank Mr. Lu Xun, but who the painter wants to thank, can you guess?" Seeing that Lu Ci was happy, Yun Li continued to ask.

"Give me some hints, otherwise people will guess, I can't count Van Gogh and Picasso one by one, can I?" Lu Ci pouted.

"It's a shrimp painter. If he's still alive, I think he'll like the bamboo shrimps we raise very much. They're the best materials for painting." Yunli reminded.

With an idea, Lu Ci replied, "It's Qi Baishi, right? His shrimp paintings are quite famous."

Yunli nodded and said, "One time, someone asked Qi Baishi to draw shrimps, and the price was calculated on a per-unit basis. After the painting was completed, the man was very satisfied and paid the money. But he felt that the shrimps were a bit small, so he asked Qi Baishi to paint again. One, as a bonus, after all, he also paid a lot of money for this painting, so it is reasonable to have one."

"Did he draw it?" Lu Ci asked.

"I painted it, and I didn't charge any extra money. It's just that after the man saw the painting, he felt that there was something wrong with the shrimp that was painted in the end. It didn't look good, and it didn't match the whole painting, so he asked Qi Baishi what was going on. Qi Baishi said that the price of shrimp in the same basket is also different, and those who give money to paint are fresh and good shrimps, but those who don’t give money for the bonus painting can only paint you a dead shrimp.”

Yun Li told this allusion and made Lu Ci laugh very happily. Lu Ci's physical condition has recovered very well in the past few days. Luo Jiaming has also visited several times. After the inspection report came out, they decided to continue with the second phase treatment surgery.

Without Yunli and Lu Ci, life in the manor has not been smooth recently. There are constant problems in Jifang Garden. Although it can maintain normal operation for the time being, there will definitely be problems after a long time, especially in the nutrient solution. In terms of preparation, the ingredients of the nutrient solution required by each stage of the strawberry plant are different. Only Yunli and Lu Ci know the tricks. Although Yunli will guide remotely, but without his presence to supervise, everyone still feels that they have no idea. .

Shen Biao's energy is basically devoted to the cultivation of bamboo shrimp seedlings, which is related to the success or failure of the entire breeding business of the manor in the future, and there is absolutely no room for failure. The construction of the grape trellis is in progress, and he is also required to supervise this aspect , now he has no time to take care of other things.

As for the two pieces of land on Dalu Mountain, some of the [-] mu of corn in the depression can be harvested in advance. The quality of this batch of corn is not bad, but it has not yet reached the standard of excellence. Yunli has no plan to supply them to others. Instead of Mingyi Hotel, they continued to sell it to Lao Luo and their acquisition station.These things need to be carried out by Xu Lin, but this is the first time he is responsible for the supply and acquisition. Although the process has been arranged by Yunli, he still can't let go of the execution, and the progress is a bit delayed.

There is no problem in the transportation of agricultural products to Mingyi Hotel, but the seedlings ordered from Feng Yisong Company have been out of stock several times and delayed. The main reason is that the manor did not make a reservation in advance, resulting in temporary supply. In the past, Yunli reported directly to Feng Yisong or his assistants, and ordered the types and quantities needed a period of time in advance.

Now that Yunli is not around, this matter is messed up. Fortunately, Feng Yisong knew about this situation and took special care of the supply of seedlings in the manor, which prevented the planting plan of the manor from being messed up. If the seedlings cannot be planted in time, the harvest time will be delayed. It directly leads to insufficient supply, which affects the cooperation with Mingyi Hotel.

In this difficult period, although everyone is working hard, without Yunli as the backbone, there will inevitably be some bumps and bumps at work, especially now that there are more and more affairs in the manor, they must learn to make decisions by themselves. To solve the problem instead of relying on Yunli to direct, this is also a good training opportunity for the employees.

Xu Xiangjiao would send messages to Yunli every day, reporting the latest status of the manor. Now it can generally maintain normal operation, and the harvest of the two lands has brought sufficient liquidity to the manor. Yunli can draw a sum of money. Pay for Lu Ci's treatment.Although it was introduced by Ren Fei, the cost of treatment is not cheap at all, but no matter how much it costs, Yunli doesn't care, as long as Lu Ci can recover, he is willing to give it any amount.

This morning, in the green park in the hospital, Yunli pushed Lu Ci for a walk. The second phase of the operation has been successfully completed. After inspection, the infection virus has basically been cleared up, and he will be observed for a period of time. If there is no recurrence and If there is a transfer, there is no need for the third-stage operation, and Lu Ci can be discharged from the hospital at that time.

The most dangerous stage has passed, both of them are in a good mood, and are discussing where to have breakfast next.

"About eating breakfast, can you tell an allusion?" Lu Ci is more interested in stories than what to eat. Yunli has told her a lot of interesting stories these days, and now she is fascinated, Yun If Li couldn't tell, she might not even be in the mood for breakfast.

"Well, let me think about it." Now Yunli is most afraid that Lu Ci will ask him to tell a story. She has basically picked up all the jokes accumulated in the past. If she makes up casually, the effect is not very good. Make him nervous.

"Then let me tell a joke. When I was in college, I basically didn't eat breakfast. When Rong Haiming found out about this, he asked me why I didn't eat breakfast, saying it was bad for my health. Then I replied He also didn't eat with me, guess what I said?" Yun Li said in a hurry.

"You have a disease that prevents you from having breakfast?" Lu Ci guessed.

"No, I'm not sick." Yun Li snorted.

"Then what did you say?" Lu Ci stopped guessing and asked directly.

"I told him that you can't eat breakfast on an empty stomach in the morning, it's not good for your health." Yun Li solved the mystery.

"Can't eat breakfast on an empty stomach? It sounds reasonable, but isn't this nonsense, there is no one who doesn't have an empty stomach in the morning, and the big man won't really believe your nonsense?" Lu Ci asked for proof.

Yun Li smiled and said: "I didn't expect that, he really believed it, but he insisted on not having breakfast for a few days, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, so he came to me and asked if there was any way to solve the problem of fasting in the morning."

"Haha, then how did you justify yourself, tell me quickly." Lu Ci asked with a smile.

"I told him that the way to solve the fasting in the morning is to eat breakfast quickly. As a result, he resumed the habit of eating breakfast every day. Until one day he asked me, what kind of state is not fasting , I told him to prepare a glass of water in the morning, don’t get it into his head, and drink it in his stomach, it’s not an empty stomach.” Yunli explained, talking about this, he couldn’t help laughing, and he still remembers it. Rong Haiming's stupidity.

"You're really bad. It's unfortunate that the big guy met you as a roommate. I guess you played tricks on people a lot during college, right?" Lu Ci scolded with a smile.

"Uh, there are a few. I'll tell you when I have a chance. Let's go have breakfast first, and don't discuss the issue of fasting or not." After laughing, Yun Li pushed Lu Ci and walked towards the hospital gate .

The food in the hospital was too monotonous, Yunli would usually take Lu Ci out to eat, and it happened to let her walk around, so as not to be bored in the ward all the time, but as soon as they left the hospital, they were almost hit by a car from behind, Fortunately, Yunli reacted quickly, and escaped without any danger, including people and cars.

The driver was an old man, and there was an old lady sitting next to the passenger seat. It seemed that the two were husbands. The danger just now made the old lady cry out in shock. After the shock, the two immediately got out of the car and came to Yunli's house. Beside him, he took a closer look, but he didn't care whether Yunli was hit or not, but lamented that he had admitted the wrong person.

"It looks a bit like him, but it's not him. It's just that the back is somewhat similar." The old man sighed. He looked to be in his 60s, about the same age as Ren Fei. He is energetic, and gives people a very elegant feeling. Although he was almost bumped, Yun Li didn't feel any anger towards him.

"I'm sorry, I frightened you two, are you alright?" The old gentleman sighed, while the old lady came back to her senses, and said to Yunli and Lu Ci, the old lady's age was similar to that of the old gentleman, and her temperament Equally extraordinary, with half-white and slightly curly short hair, the two of them really look like a husband and wife standing together, especially her clean and flawless voice, which makes people fascinated as soon as they hear it.
