"It's nothing. Do I need a reason to be happy?"
"What brings you here?" Lin Anshu asked, composed herself.
"Didn't you say before that the more I sell, the more commission I'll get?"
"So, I took this opportunity to sell quite a few things."
"I just happened to be passing by, so I thought I'd ask you if you still keep what you said before?"
“Of course it counts,” Lin Anshu said.
"That's good."
"Oh, by the way, I should mention that my opening paragraph has been accepted."
"The editor said he would give me a minimum of 30 yuan per thousand words, and I would have to submit 120,000 words a month."
"Get featured when you reach 100,000 words."
"You got it approved on the first try! That's impressive!" Lin Anshu couldn't help but glance at Ji Chuan.
This guy is pretty good.
"What can you do with that? It's only 30 yuan per thousand words, what can that even cover?"
"Moreover, in my opinion, this book will only be 300,000 words at most."
"In other words, after I painstakingly wrote 300,000 words, I can only get 9,000 yuan before tax."
"That's all? It's not even as much as my allowance for the past two weeks." Ji Chuan said with a look of disdain.
"So, you refused?"
"How could that be! I want to write books, not for money, but purely out of passion."
"So, no matter how much they offer, I'll write it."
"...Good luck! Let me know after you sign the contract and publish your book, and I'll give you a tip." Lin Anshu said.
"Alright, thanks in advance!"

When the villagers heard that Lin Jianshe's family had received a one-time order of 1,000 jin of cherries from a big fruit businessman at a pretty good price, they were all extremely envious.
Especially those who, like their family, grow cherry trees.
Those who planted cherry trees deeply regretted it.
If I had known, I would have joined in the cherry picking experience at the orchard opening.
The village chief and Party Secretary Zhang had told them that once tourists arrived, anyone willing to participate in attracting visitors to the park would need to register with them first.
Moreover, for every transaction, 100 yuan must be paid to the village for subsequent village construction.
The specific uses of this money will be made public in the village later.
As the village chief and Party Secretary Xiao Zhang, they will also be responsible for the families who have signed up.
When everyone heard about this, besides being afraid that tourists would mess around on their land, they also felt bad about losing 100 yuan.
How many kilograms of cherries would I have to sell to earn back 100 yuan?
Moreover, the first group of tourists consisted of only about twenty people.
It's not worth it no matter how you look at it.
But only now are people starting to regret it.
1000 jin of cherries—if I were to take them out to sell myself, I don't know how long it would take.
Most importantly, their prices aren't low either.
So, on Saturday night, several cherry-growing families in the village went to see Village Secretary Zhang.
Lin Anshu had heard about all of this.
She simply smiled faintly at this and did not offer much of an opinion.
She's still busy.
In the evening, the tourists enjoyed a variety of crayfish flavors that satisfied them greatly, and they also sat together and drank some wine.
Of course, other side dishes are also available, but they are chargeable.
Lin Anshu calculated that in just one night, those twenty or thirty people ate about 50 jin (25 catties) of crayfish.
Including beer and food expenses, the income was over 2000.
Over at the pond, the fishermen sat there all afternoon, but only one of them caught a fish.
The fish he caught didn't look very big, maybe a little over a pound at most.
This result left the fishing enthusiasts quite dissatisfied.
Some people even said to Lin Anshu's face, "Ms. Lin, there aren't that many fish in your fishpond, are there?"
Lin Anshu did not refute the questions raised by those people, but calmly looked at the person and spoke.
"If you don't mind, would you mind if I borrowed your fishing rod?"
"Is Mr. Lin planning to personally demonstrate for us? Okay, here you go!"
How do I use this?
"???" That person.
Although he was speechless, considering that they were currently by Lin Anshu's pond, the man still carefully explained to Lin Anshu how to use the fishing rod and the precautions.
Then they saw Lin Anshu sitting there start baiting her hook and fishing.
"Mr. Lin, fishing is a skill, especially for someone like you who's fishing for the first time. You have to keep a calm mindset, you can't... damn it!"
Before the man could finish speaking, he saw the fishing rod move.
He quickly said, "The fish has taken the bait, pull it in."
"Oh." Lin Anshu pulled the fishing rod and then reeled in the line.
And there it was, a grass carp that looked to weigh at least five pounds, jumping and wriggling on the fishing rod.
"???" The fishermen watching.
"Look, the fish is quite big." Lin Anshu pointed at the fish and looked at everyone.
"It was just an accident, try again."
"Okay, sure."
Without saying a word, Lin Anshu sat down and started fishing again.
This time, in less than five minutes, she hooked out a silver carp that still weighed about five or six pounds.
The onlookers, mostly fishermen, were once again left with a blank stare: "???"
If they hadn't been watching with their own eyes, they would have even thought that Lin Anshu had arranged for someone to squat under the pond in advance, just to hook the fish for her when she cast her bait.
