Lin Siya couldn't wait to open the envelope, but unexpectedly a piece of paper fell out from it. When she picked it up, she found it was a remittance slip. Seeing the amount on it, Lin Siya was stunned for a moment, then opened the letter and read the contents. After reading it, she immediately smiled.
It turned out that after her manuscript arrived at Jingdong Pictorial, it did not attract much attention, even though she had successfully submitted it to Jingdong Pictorial.
The only difference is that the review process for a single painting and a comic book is different.
When publishing a single painting in a newspaper, one only needs to consider the quality of the painting and whether it fits the theme. However, comic strips are different; there are too many factors to consider.
The most important thing is the content of the comic strips. Most of the comic strips nowadays have red themes and personal heroic colors, which are also popular among children nowadays.
Therefore, when Lin Siya sent her manuscript to Kyoto Pictorial, although the editor who reviewed it liked it very much, it was not approved by the editor-in-chief.
However, because the young editor really liked this comic book, he has been looking for opportunities to get attention again.
This is also the reason why Lin Siya did not receive any news for a long time.
This time, due to the saturation of the market, the comic book editorial department received many manuscripts and found that they were all very similar and lacked much novelty. Readers did not buy into them, and comic book sales were sluggish.
It was at this time that the original editor brought up Lin Siya's comic book again.
This comic book finally appeared in the eyes of the public. Although many people in the newspaper felt that this comic book, which was different from previous ones, might not be popular in the market, most people felt that this comic book was very interesting and different from previous ones. More importantly, the theme of this comic book was something they had never encountered before, and it was also very educational.
Finally, the editor decided to print a small amount first, see the market feedback, and then decide whether to add more.
Lin Siya was very happy to know that her comic strip could be printed. Although it did not meet her expectations, it was still a good start.
What made her even happier was that although the newspaper only planned to print 5,000 copies, the royalties for these 5,000 copies were not small. Lin Siya looked at the number on the remittance slip and was quite satisfied.
I hope this book will be popular and the publisher will print more copies.
She finally had some extra income besides her salary. Although the black market was very profitable, Lin Siya felt that it was more reassuring to spend the money earned by her own real ability.
And if this comic book is popular, it will definitely be printed in larger quantities, and then she can get a share of the profits. Lin Siya is still very confident in her comic book.
It was a pity that there was no one to share such a happy thing. At this time, she thought of Fu Sinian who went to Beijing. He should be back soon, right?
Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it anymore, just start making your own meal.
But I don’t know what happened tonight. Just as I started to do something, someone knocked on the door again.
When I opened the door, I saw Aunt Li, holding a bowl of food in her hand.
"Aunt Li!"
"Yaya, I see you just came back. Haven't you eaten yet? Come, take it back and eat."
"No need, Aunt Li, you can eat with your family. I can cook quickly."
Ever since Lin Siya told Aunt Li that the textile factory was recruiting workers, Aunt Li's daughter has been reviewing at home every day. A few days ago, she was lucky enough to be admitted to the textile factory and got an office position. Although it is a logistical job, it is much easier than working as a textile worker.
In order to thank Lin Siya, Aunt Li often made delicious food and sent it to her home, but she refused to listen no matter what she said.
"Hey, why are you being so polite to your aunt? If it weren't for your help, your sister Miaomiao wouldn't have been able to find a job. She might have already gone to the countryside by now. You are our family's great benefactor!"
After saying that, Aunt Li stuffed the bowl in her hand into Lin Siya's hand, turned around and left.
Lin Siya had no choice but to accept it. It was a bowl of stir-fried meat, with few ingredients and a lot of meat. Aunt Li had put in the ration for a month, right?
Lin Siya was somewhat touched. People of this era were still very simple and honest, especially those like Aunt Li, Aunt Zhang, and Aunt Feng. Although they had their own little thoughts, as long as you were nice to them, they would try their best to repay you. They would not take anything you did for granted. Maybe this was the way of the world for them.
After putting the stir-fried pork away, Lin Siya started to cook. As usual, she sealed all the gaps in the door, and then started to boil water to scald and pluck the chicken feathers. Her movements were smooth and flowing. With the help of systematic skills, she was able to cook with ease.
She likes spicy food, so she cut a chicken into two halves. The chicken that the system rewarded was very big. After the feathers were plucked and the internal organs were removed, it weighed about four or five pounds.
She made chicken soup with half of it and spicy chicken with the other half. In addition to chicken dishes, she also made several other dishes, all of which were a bit large in quantity. This is the advantage of having a system space. She can store the extra food in the space and eat it steaming hot a few days later.
I made three dishes and a soup for myself, and paired them with the stir-fried pork that Aunt Li gave me. This meal was extremely rich.
She still didn't have to go to work the next day. However, after such an exciting incident yesterday, Lin Siya suffered from insomnia for the first time in her life. She finally fell asleep, and in her dream she was being chased by those people with red armbands. She wanted to run but couldn't, and was finally caught. Then she was paraded through the streets, which was really scary.
After waking up, her head felt swollen. Thinking back to the dream she had last night, Lin Siya cursed herself for being so useless and that she was indeed the kind of person who could never accomplish anything great.
After laughing at herself fiercely, Lin Siya finally got up.
Today she is going to collect her first royalties in her life, and she is excited just thinking about it.
Lin Siya felt that yesterday was a really fantastic day. First, she became braver and actually went to the black market and made a small fortune. However, the process was very tense and exciting. Then she got such a surprise after coming back. Yesterday was really her fortune-making day!
After packing everything, Lin Siya went out with her small bag.
It might be the last day of the holiday, so there are a lot of people on the street.
At this time, many factories or units only have one day off, and some don’t even have any holidays, like textile factories. Only some offices are closed, and the workers at the bottom have only one day off. Despite this, everyone is still very happy.
The streets were filled with a festive atmosphere. In such an environment, Lin Siya felt that her mood had also become cheerful.
