A Day as a Foodie at Hogwarts

Something strange happened in the ice cream parlor in Diagon Alley today.The famous Daily Prophet editor-in-chief Joey is trying his best to persuade a young man, no, to be precise, a child to sign up for the Daily Prophet.And you want to open a column for him? !

This is a big deal. You must know that the Daily Prophet is the largest-selling wizarding newspaper in Europe. Its scale and influence are not comparable to "Transfiguration Today" and "The Quibbler".

Being able to publish a signed article in the Daily Prophet is a dream opportunity for many wizards.It would be even better if you could have your own column and become a specially invited columnist. That would not only mean fame, but also huge wealth.

The Daily Prophet is not short of money, and the column fees it pays are also very high.For example, the famous Girod Harot started out as a columnist for the Daily Prophet.Because what I wrote was very interesting, I gained a large number of readers, and finally published a single book.

And the price of Girod Harold's article in the Daily Prophet is only one silver siko and fifteen tons per word.

And now editor-in-chief Joey actually wants to give a child a remuneration of one silver per word? !What's even more surprising is that this child actually mocked Joey!It's surprising enough.Everyone's eyes were on Editor-in-Chief Yun He and Joey, which did not attract much attention to Harry Potter beside him.

Malfoy on the side was also inexplicably surprised, because his father said that this child was Dumbledore's son, so he wanted to have a good relationship with him.In fact, Malfoy was somewhat disdainful.Because his father always slandered Dumbledore at family gatherings, especially at dinner parties where Minister Fudge was present, Draco Malfoy was somewhat affected and looked down upon Dumbledore.

In fact, Lucius said those words at the dinner party just to please Fudge.Minister Fukichi is a sensitive person.He was most afraid of others saying that Dumbledore was strong and that Dumbledore could take his place.

Growing up, Draco had always taken his father's words seriously, so when he saw Yun He, he thought he was nothing special.He's just a second-generation devil relying on his father's shadow.If he hadn't dared to disobey his father, Draco would have ignored this guy.

But listening to what Editor Joey said, can this person still open a column in the Daily Prophet?Ah, he must have done this just like his father to please Dumbledore.Draco's contempt for Yunhe increased even more.

On the side, Harry Potter didn't have as many worries as Draco, the second-generation devil. He just thought that Yunhe was so awesome that he could write a column in a newspaper!

Of course, is Editor Joey trying to curry favor with Dumbledore?Of course it was, but just to curry favor with Dumbledore, he wouldn't offer such an exaggerated price to Yun He.When he came out, he took a few manuscripts from David and read them as he walked. After reading about [-] words, he was already sure.The novels written by Yun He are quite readable.I only read [-] words and was immediately attracted by the story inside.

Because Yunhe's writing mode is different from that of authors in the traditional wizarding world.After reading Girod-Harot's novels and other authors' novels, Yunhe was certain that the writing pace of these authors in the Wizarding World was too slow.

It was like watching "The Great Gatsby" in my previous life.Although it is regarded as a classic, the opening five thousand words do not get to the main topic. Instead, a lot of pen and ink are spent describing some side details and scenery.Of course, this can naturally highlight the author's writing style and description of the times, but for people in the new era, the slow pace of such a novel will inevitably make people feel drowsy and not stimulate enough.

There are also novels such as "Green Mars", "Mars Rising", "Fall of Giants" and so on. It cannot be said that these novels are not well written.But such novels need to be read calmly and slowly, because the pace is too slow. This kind of novel is like simmering hen soup over low heat and needs to be savored carefully.Although the taste is rich and the aftertaste is long, it can be remembered for a lifetime, but it is not as exciting and refreshing as online novels like spicy fried chicken.

This is almost a common problem in traditional literature (including popular books). Only a few novels can quickly enter the theme and then advance quickly.

And this so-called fast-moving rhythm is only compared to traditional literature.If we look at the standards of online novels written in Yunhe's previous life, those books are all dead. It's a waste that the three golden chapters don't even begin with arresting people.

Therefore, the novels written by Yun He advance very quickly. Chapter 1 contains conflicts, adventures, and time travel. The first two thousand words catch people's attention.Editor-in-Chief Joey is unmistakable, this style is sure to be popular.This is completely different from the various articles previously published in the Daily Prophet.

Since Yun He's writing pace was so fast, Editor Joey subconsciously thought that Yun He was writing a short story, about 11 to 11 words.In fact, this is not easy for an [-]-year-old child.Think about how when you were a kid, you had to rack your brains and write a [-]-word article in school all night long. If you can write a short story of [-] words at the age of [-], you are already a genius, right?A short story of this quality is worth a penny per word.

Fifty thousand words, but only fifty thousand silver coins.Converted into gold galleons, that's nearly three thousand gold galleons.It’s already a lot of money, and Editor-in-Chief Joey has even planned it.Ask Yunhe to submit a manuscript every week, with each manuscript being [-] words, so that the serialization can be completed in about fifteen to twenty weeks.

But it was obvious that he had misjudged Yunhe's determination and the length of the novel he planned to write.

"Every word is worth a word. I'm afraid that the Daily Prophet will go bankrupt." Yun He looked at Editor Joey very seriously: "Editor Joey, have you read my novel?"

"I read about [-] words, and it's pretty good. Do you mind if I sit here?" Editor Joey asked, looking at the empty seat at the round table.

"Please." Yun He stretched out his hand to sit down, and he who originally planned to leave also sat down.Now that Editor-in-Chief Joey is here and wants to sign a contract with him, let’s talk about it.

"The Daily Prophet's family is quite rich, and they can't afford to pay one silver per word." Editor Joey said with a smile. He thought it might be because Yun He was still young and didn't understand the amount of money. .Also, for children, one gold galleon is a lot of money, and a hundred gold galleons is an unimaginable astronomical figure.A thousand galleons?I'm a good boy...

Yun He asked Editor Joey in a low voice: "Editor Joey, have you read the outline and expected word count I wrote at the back of the manuscript?"

"Huh? No." Editor Joey really didn't see it, because he just picked up the [-]-word manuscript and read it on the road.

"So, my novel is a full-length novel, not a short or medium-length novel like Mr. Girod Harlot's." Yun He reminded.

However, Editor-in-Chief Joey felt that Yunhe was exaggerating, and he corrected him: "Each of Girod Harlot's books has nearly 15 to 40 words. These are not short stories, but real novels. "

Yes, before the emergence of online novels, in traditional literature, even popular fiction literature, a book of 20 words was considered a long one.And 40 words is already a long novel.Even in the early stages of the development of online novels, a novel of 70 million words already feels very long.And a million words can make people wonder: wow, it is so long.

In the later stage of development, if the volume of an online novel is less than 200 million words, even if it is completed, readers will think that the book is probably unfinished.

Yun He said calmly to Editor Joey: "But, he really doesn't write much."

Joey looked at Yun He: "Kid, don't brag. How long can your novel be?"

"The book is expected to be completed with 300 million words. I submit 300 words of manuscripts for the Daily Prophet every day. I strive to complete the book within a year. If calculated based on the valuation of one word per silver, the Daily Prophet needs to complete the book within 17 days. Pay me 470 million silver sickles, which is 20 gold galleons when converted into gold galleons. And I have completed a [-]-word manuscript. Editor Joey can take a look at it when he has time." After speaking, Yun He took the rest of the manuscript from the bag that had been cast by Snape and placed it in front of Joey.

"This is the first 20 words of the manuscript. You can take a look."

Editor-in-Chief Joey looked at Yun He's manuscript in great surprise. He flipped through it, reading ten lines at a glance.This... is not written randomly. Although it is a blurry line, Editor Joey can be sure that Yun He's manuscript was also written very carefully.

But writing 300 words a day? !A book with [-] million words? !Editor Joey felt dizzy. He had never seen such a productive writer in his life.

Now he looked at Yun He and asked weakly: "Can I ask, how many days did it take you to write these manuscripts?"

Yunhe counted with his fingers: "Well, from August 200st to August [-]th. It took me four days, so it works out to [-] words per day. Because at the beginning I was not very familiar with the magic of "The Writing Has Spirit" , so it is very slow. The speed has improved later. Normally, I can update [-] words a day. I decided to write a [-] million-word manuscript before the start of school on September [-]st, and then send it to you slowly. Because I go to school, I I definitely don’t have that much time to write a novel. So I’m going to save it until the Christmas holidays. Then I’ll finish the book at Christmas.”

"So, for the sake of the Daily Prophet's cash flow, I think editor-in-chief Joey's price of one silver per word is better. I can't let the whole newspaper work for me, right?" Yun He still said Very kind.

But Editor-in-Chief Joey was amazed in his heart: What kind of monster did Albus Dumbledore give birth to?
