Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 184 Zhuantang Street

It took Zhang Qingfeng a day to write out the entire story outline of the novel, and because the calligraphy was too large, there was not much content to write on a piece of paper.

This made Zhang Qingfeng realize that he had to change his writing tool.

However, it was getting late at this time, and he should start cooking.

Today, he is going to cook a fish meal himself.

It took Zhang Qingfeng more than an hour to make all the meals.

"You study hard, and your mother can do the cooking."

After Zhang Maocai and his wife came back from doing farm work, they saw the meals made by their son. Although they said so, the expressions on their faces were still very gratified.

"The fish made by Sanlang is delicious! Where did you learn it?" Zhang Qingfeng's mother asked Zhang Qingfeng in surprise after taking a bite of the fish.

"I asked Aunt Liu next door, and then I made it." Zhang Qingfeng said.

The reason why he chooses to cook by himself is because he thinks the food made by his mother is unpalatable, and he has endured it for many days.

So he decided that in the future, he will cook all the meals he eats by himself.

As for Aunt Liu, he did ask her for advice on how to cook, but Zhang Qingfeng just made excuses and didn't follow the other party's advice.

Because his family is not very wealthy, he does not have many seasonings. Zhang Qingfeng also thought of many ways to make the fish the way it is now.

The taste is okay, but it can't compare with the situation of sufficient seasoning in later generations.

But even so, Zhang Qingfeng's parents almost swallowed this fish meal.

"Uncle Tian, ​​please pluck some feathers from your goose."

On this day, Zhang Qingfeng found Uncle Tian in the village.

"Sanlang, what do you want the goose's feather for?" Uncle Tian asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"I am useful." Zhang Qingfeng replied.

Zhang Qingfeng wanted the goose's feathers, of course for making quill pens.

Writing with a brush, although the fonts are beautiful, even the smallest brush characters are too big, and the writing speed is also slow.

A piece of paper is so big, if you write with a brush, you can finish more than 100 characters, and it will take a lot of time to write these more than 100 characters.

The quill pen is different. The quill pen can make the words smaller and write faster.

The process of making a quill is also very simple.

Remove the fat first, put the goose feathers in a steamer and steam them to remove the fat.

Then there is the hardening process. Insert the goose feathers into the sand at about 180 degrees and wait for the sand to slowly cool. At this time, the feather rod will change from transparent to opaque.

Hardened quills will be more wear-resistant.

Then comes the final step, cutting the nib.

This step is the most important and the most difficult, as a little carelessness can ruin a pen.

However, this is not a difficult task for Zhang Qingfeng, because he has lived in the previous mission for decades and is already familiar with sharpening the tip of a quill.

Zhang Qingfeng collected more than 30 feathers from the wings of big geese from Uncle Tian's house. These feathers are enough for him to use for a long time.

What makes Zhang Qingfeng unhappy about using the quill pen is that he has to make his own ink, because the ink produced by the brush pen is not very colorful for writing with the quill pen.

It took a week for Zhang Qingfeng to actually use the quill pen and the ink specially designed for the quill pen.

With the quill pen, Zhang Qingfeng's writing speed was significantly accelerated.

Considering factors such as imagining the plot and hand fatigue, Zhang Qingfeng can only create more than 5000 words of novel content in a day at the fastest.

The original version of Fengshen Yanyi has 60 million words, and Zhang Qingfeng feels that when he completes the novel, it will definitely exceed 100 million words.

Calculated according to the speed at which he writes [-] words a day, he needs to persist for at least [-] days.

Of course, five thousand words is not Zhang Qingfeng's ultimate speed. After he becomes more proficient in writing, his writing speed can be accelerated.

The only downside to writing a novel is that it takes too much paper. In less than half a month, he used up hundreds of blank sheets of paper, and most of them were wasted.

The cost is almost over 500 yuan, which is almost half of the family's monthly income.

If household expenses were excluded, Zhang Qingfeng’s family would only have more than a dozen Wen left every day, and five hundred Wen would be enough for his parents’ family to save for half a year.

Yang Maocai and his wife were not educated. Seeing that Zhang Qingfeng was writing every day, they thought their son was studying hard during this time.

In their view, it is impossible to write so many words without working hard.

Since the son is studying hard, as parents, they have to support even if they are trying to sell iron.

So during this period of time, Zhang Qingfeng almost bought whatever he wanted.

It wasn't until Zhang Qingfeng spent most of the money, and his creation of Fengshen Yanyi only had [-] to [-] characters, that he realized that he couldn't go on like this.

If I keep writing this, my family will go bankrupt.

"Dad, Mom, before I go to the academy to study, I want to go to my eldest sister's house for a few days."

During the meal that day, Zhang Qingfeng made a request to his parents and said.

"What are you doing there?" Yang Maocai asked.

"I'm too tired during this time, I want to go play for two days to relax." Zhang Qingfeng said.

"Oh, that's it. Okay, let your mother pick up some eggs, and you can bring them to your sister by the way." Zhang Maocai said.

Zhang Qingfeng's elder sister is Yang Xue, who is only 24 years old this year. She is married to a man named Zhao Kuan. The young couple opened a tea shop in Zhuantang Street, and they lived a good life.

During the period when he fell ill, his elder sister took the child and her husband back to her natal home to visit Zhang Qingfeng.

The main reason why Zhang Qingfeng wanted to stay at his sister's house for a few days was because his sister's house was in the town.

Zhang Qingfeng wrote for half a month and almost bankrupted his family's finances. This made him realize that he had to find a way to make some money.

Making money should not be too easy for Zhang Qingfeng, a person who has traveled through time several times in ancient times, because he has done this a long time ago.

He invented soap, glass, movable type, paper, and more.

He can also make steel, make machinery, and also build muskets and artillery.

It's a pity that although he knows so many things, he is not going to continue to do so in this life.

All his life, he only thought about how to become a big star in the entertainment industry, and then leave his name in history, and successfully complete the tasks assigned by the system.

However, in the early stage, if he can use some small things to make some money, he can still do it.

"Sister, brother-in-law."

"Little brother, why are you here?"

Zhang Qingfeng's sister Yang Xue asked in surprise when she saw Zhang Qingfeng coming.

"Sister, let me come and see you." Zhang Qingfeng said to his sister.

"Uncle, Uncle, did you bring us something delicious?" The sister's two children surrounded Zhang Qingfeng happily when they saw Zhang Qingfeng.

"Go, go, don't pester your uncle. Your uncle is recovering from his illness." Yang Xue said quickly to the two children.

"This is the sweet cake my uncle brought to you, share it quickly." Zhang Qingfeng took out some sweet cakes and handed them to the two children and said.

"Sanlang, come in and sit down. I'll let your sister go to the street to buy a few catties of meat and come back. Let's have a good meal tonight." Brother-in-law Zhao Kuan also said enthusiastically to Zhang Qingfeng.
