Figure skating went to the Republic of China to write novels

Jiang Jinghu then took Zhang Sushang to identify the other two. Li Yuan, who majored in chemistry, was a tall, black and strong man, and Wu Yeming, who majored in engineering, was a gentle and fair young man.

Speaking of young people, none of them is over 20 years old, and they all went to foreign countries to study at a young age.

When people are in a foreign land, their compatriots are the closest relatives. These people have a friendly attitude towards Zhang Sushang. In their words, they tell Zhang Sushang to come to them when he encounters problems that are difficult to solve. Help, if you don't get along well with your roommates, live in their dormitory.

They seemed to be very worried that Zhang Sushang was not doing well. After all, who told him that he had lost a lot of weight since the last time we met?

After working hard to lose weight for a month, Zhang Sushang not only lost fat, but his body became firmer. From the perspective of those who don't know it, he must have lost such a large circle of weight because of poor eating and living.

It’s true that you can’t eat well, and you can’t live a bad life. Zhang Sushang can feel his conscience and say that a roommate like Alexei who helps his roommates sew socks and quilts is not only unique, but also rare.

And last night he was playing with the flexible movements of resting his left foot on his right shoulder and resting his right foot on his left shoulder. Alexei was terrified by him. If someone really wanted to escape from that room, that person would not be Zhang. Vegetarian.

They also asked Zhang Sushang to eat Piroshki.

In Russia, Piroshki is one of the most famous pasta. It is a local traditional delicacy that represents auspicious meanings such as "sun", "festival" and "health". In the memory of Zhang Sushang, this is a A delicious, filling pie.

It was Jiang Jinghu who went to buy Piroshki. He bought four and brought them back, one for each person. After Zhang Sushang took a bite, he found that it was stuffed with mushrooms and meat, and there was a bit of onion aroma. The delicious gravy flowed down the taste buds into the throat, Zhang Sushang was so moved that he wanted to cry.

This is the first meat he ate after coming to this time and space except for the oil residue. People really only know how to cherish it when they lose it. When Zhang Sushang was an athlete in the past, he only thought of the beef, chicken, and fish stuffed by his elders. It made his stomach bloated and nauseated, but if it were the current him, he would just say, "Give me more, I can continue cooking".

Meat, eggs, and milk are the wealth of human beings. They are the providers of various nutrients such as protein, and they are good partners for strengthening the body. God knows that Zhang Sushang only dares to do aerobic exercises these days, not serious anaerobic exercises. Practicing is because I am afraid that the nutrition will not keep up, and the body will be exhausted.

Before leaving, Wu Yeming stuffed the last salted duck egg he brought from his hometown into Zhang Sushang's hand.

Zhang Sushang is really embarrassed, he wants to stuff it back, he has already left without looking back, for fear that Zhang Sushang will reject his kindness, in the end Zhang Sushang can only think about waiting for the sauerkraut to come out of the altar, and he will score them Some.

These days, giving anything is more realistic than giving food.

Alexei still has something to do. Zhang Sushang went home alone today. Alexei had already assigned a new key. Zhang Sushang thought that the temperature would be okay today, and he happened to be doing a big cleaning.

For example, the floor has not been wiped for several days. Anyway, the house is not big, only 65 square meters. He took a wet rag and wiped every corner of the house and the floor in two hours. The spiders on the windows and ceiling The net can be left to Alexey to handle.

There are also briquettes and firewood at home that need to be replenished. Cooking by oneself consumes these things every day. Zhang Sushang misses the iron stove that he saw in his uncle’s hometown when he was a child. Putting a few briquettes in it can burn for a whole day. , It is convenient to cook and boil water.

However, briquette was invented by a Texas worker in 49, 23 years before now, and was born 7 years later than his neighbor's grandfather Lu, and Zhang Sushang, as a time traveler, would not "invent "Honeycomb.

This can't be blamed on him. Young children like his generation are used to natural gas and electricity. It is lucky to see briquettes.

The most important thing is that if you burn honeycomb coal, you don't need to clean the coal ash frequently, but now Zhang Sushang has to clean out all the coal ash in his house, otherwise the air in the house will be bad.

After lighting the fireplace, Zhang Sushang boiled hot water again, then removed the quilt cover and pillowcase in the room, and put all the socks and underwear in the basin for rubbing.

This body has the same dust mite allergy as Zhang Sushang before time travel, can you believe it?

Zhang Sushang did not dare to dry the quilt, because dust would accumulate on the quilt during drying, and it was useless to pat it. When the quilt was covered at night, he would keep sneezing, and he would also have allergic conjunctivitis and allergic nasopharyngitis. Attack, so he can only wash these things frequently, and then dry them slowly.

The quilt that Alexei gave him has already been made. The army green cotton quilt cover is wrapped with cotton wool inside. Before going to bed, soak your feet, drink a few sips of hot water, then roll into the quilt, and cover it with a coat. enjoyed it.

Thanks to his help, Zhang Sushang washed Alexei's when washing the quilt cover, wringed it until it was half dry, and then baked it by the fireplace.

There is also a pot in the stove, the bottom of the pot is brushed with lard, and the leba and shredded potatoes are slowly frying. Zhang Sushang peels the salted duck eggs. The oily golden yolk exudes a tempting aroma. Zhang Sushang Lick it and show a happy face.

He hasn't eaten duck eggs for a long time.

After dinner, Zhang Sushang spread a pen and paper on the small table, intending to write the second story of the Cowardly Detective series.

His understanding of Russia in the 20s is still based on his recent personal experience, and the story is actually based on the surrounding environment and people.

At the end of "The Donkey on the Train" last time, Vasily, the strong man with caramel rose, knocked on the door of the protagonist Ilya and asked him to investigate a case. This time, Zhang Sushang continued to write.

According to the style of this article, for the sake of comedy, it was Boris the donkey who opened the door, and after the door opened, he first shouted at Vasily before the plot unfolded.

Vasily is an educated young man of excellent background, a native of St. Petersburg, who previously studied at a university in Yekaterinaburg and has a degree in classic literature.

And he found Ilya because there was a murder case near the apartment he rented. A 40-year-old midwife was killed, and his cousin Mira lived near the scene of the crime. It is said that she saw The figure of the murderer was pushed down from the second floor by the other party, and now he is unconscious, but the local police did not find any clues to hunt down the real murderer, so Vasily thought of Ilya.

This guy is a coward, but his handling skills are top-notch.

The two then went to the scene of the crime together and investigated the relationship network of the deceased before his death. They learned that the midwife had worked in the hospital for more than ten years. It's over, she has no children, but she looks after the furnishings of the house. She is very rich, so rich that she doesn't look like a midwife.

However, after checking all the people who had a grudge against the midwife, a high school female teacher was almost arrested as a murderer. In the hands of the father outside the delivery room, it became a dead baby. The eldest son of the female teacher always said that the midwife was the victim, but their family could not produce evidence.

However, according to the investigation, the female teacher and her family members were eventually found not guilty. At this time, Vasily learned that his cousin Mira was awake, and went to the hospital with Ilya.

Zhang Sushang named this story "Twins Without Bloodlines", but he played with the concept of exchanging and killing people.

As we all know, when the police investigate a homicide case, they will first investigate the deceased's relationship network, ask if the deceased has a grudge with someone, and find out the suspect. The key is that this trick is really easy to use, and most criminals do from.

But what about killing people in exchange?

Zhang Sushang first came into contact with this concept in the 1951 Hitchcock film "Strangers on a Train". Later, the popular Japanese drama "It's Your Turn" also unfolded the story around this concept.

In the article "Unrelated Twins", there are two dead, one is a middle-aged midwife, one is Mira's stepfather, and the murderer is Mira and a female branch daughter Nicole.

Mira was raped by her stepfather when she was young. At that time, Nicole was her neighbor and good friend. Nicole’s family was poor, and her father was a lame gambler. Then Mira moved and Nicole grew up to be a widow.

A few years later, Nicole learned that she was not the real daughter of the gambler's father. He was a human trafficker in his early years, and later offended a "big shot" and had his leg broken. Nicole failed to sell him goods in hand.

Further investigation revealed that Nicole was the child of the female high school teacher, and it was the middle-aged midwife who dropped her out of the delivery room.

At this time, Mira has become a college student, and she has a completely different social status from the daughter-in-law. No one thought that they had known each other before. After contracting a venereal disease, Nicole was determined to take revenge before she died, so she found Mira. , Make an agreement with the other party to kill the person the other party hates the most.

In this story, the two murderers are not easy to deal with, Mira is weak but is a queen, and the female daughter Nicole is extremely cruel. They first used force to take Vasily to stun with drugs, and held a handful of fruit together. The knife almost sent the protagonist Ilya to the west. If Mira hadn’t woken up at the critical moment, pulled Ilya out of the fruit knife, and Boris the donkey bravely rescued the master, this series would have come to an end.

At the end of the story, Nicole fell from a tall building and fell to her death. When Ilya and Vasily helped Mira to the first floor together, they saw a copper badge with a hollow crocodile in her hand. pattern.

Charismatic villains are an enduring and important element in the history of writing. Their existence is the guarantee of the wonderful story and the emergence of the main line. For example, Hannibal is more popular than the protagonist. How can Zhang Sushang forget to give his novels Set a strong villain?

Heh, not only does he want to create a powerful villain, but he also wants to create a lot of powerful villains, so that the counselor Ilya can live a more fulfilling and ups and downs life than anyone else.

By the way, some people still remember that at the beginning of the story of "The Cowardly Detective Ilya", did Ilya leave his hometown and go to St. Petersburg to find his father?

After Zhang Sushang finished writing the outline, he wrote half of the story with great effort, when he heard the sound of knocking on the door panel.

Tee, Tee, Tee.

Is this Alexei who came back after receiving the Xiaozao book list opened by the professor?

Zhang Sushang responded: "Here we come!"

Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw an old man with a white beard and a middle-aged man with dangerous hairline standing at the door.

"Is this Mr. Chuka's house? We are the editors of the St. Petersburg Morning Post."

Zhang Sushang blinked, sideways let the person into the room, and casually replied: "I am Qiuka, can "The Donkey on the Train" be reported?"

"You are Qiuka?" Editor-in-Chief Joseph and Editor-in-Chief Yegor showed expressions of disbelief.

They were sure that the tall and beautiful young man standing in front of them was not Russian. Even though he spoke Russian well and had no accent at all, how could he write such wonderful Russian novels?

It’s like in the 21st century, few Chinese believe that Wai Guoren can write a wonderful novel in Chinese characters. Most people can’t even write well in their mother tongue, let alone in a foreign language.

Zhang Sushang smiled and pointed to the table: "It's a coincidence that you came here. I'm writing the second story of Detective Ilya. If you don't believe me, you can wait here for a while."

The two editors looked at each other, and sat down at the invitation of Zhang Sushang. Zhang Sushang poured hot water for them, turned over the quilt cover and pillowcase by the fireplace, sat back at the small table, and continued writing in a leisurely manner. .

Compared with "The Donkey Braying on the Train", "Twins Without Bloodlines" is longer, and Zhang Sushang intends to divide it into three articles.

The pen fell on the white paper, making a rustling sound, which is an all-too-familiar sound to writers of this era, while Zhang Sushang lowered his eyes and looked calm, occasionally stopping to think for a while, looking Very focused.

When the first part was finished, Zhang Sushang took the paper and started copying. During the period, he corrected typos and punctuation marks, and rearranged the arrangement of some words and paragraphs.

After he finished copying a piece of paper, he handed over a manuscript to the two editors. Editor Joseph couldn't wait to take it, and he and Yegor looked face to face.

Yegor watched and marveled inwardly, that foreign youth was actually the author of these stories!

And it can be seen that the use of words in this story is more proficient than the previous one, and the writing style has improved quite obviously. Now it seems that it is because the author himself is more proficient in Russian writing.

After reading the manuscript, the editor-in-chief Joseph was silent for a while, and looked up at Zhang Sushang with respect in his tone.

"Mr. Qiuka, I am sorry to introduce myself formally to you now. I am Joseph Ivanjovich Prosky, editor-in-chief of the St. Petersburg Morning Post. Your story is very good. If possible, we hope to read it often. to your story."

Joseph is 59 years old, he has read too many stories, and when he saw this murder exchange case, the old editor knew in his heart that Zhang Sushang was an author he must not miss.

He wants to reach a long-term cooperative relationship with the other party, and leave the story of detective Ilya in their newspaper!

Zhang Sushang was not surprised by this. He chatted with Joseph for a while, and finally negotiated a fairly good remuneration. From now on, he would contribute articles to the St. Petersburg Morning Post every week, and the opposite party would give him fifty rubles, that is, his Twice a month's salary for cleaning the University of Georgia library!

The three discussed the date of signing the contract, and Joseph and Yegor left 35 rubles for the manuscript fee of "The Donkey on the Train" (the other party felt that the quality of the article was good, and offered to raise the price for him), and then left in a friendly and polite manner.

As soon as they left, Zhang Sushang did a backflip in the room.

He is rich!

When Alexey finally finished dealing with the school affairs and came home, he saw his roommate keep his waist down and crawl around the room like a crab. Happy to say hello.

"Lyosha, are you back? Let's eat mutton and radish soup and Piroshki stuffed with mushroom meat tonight."

At this time, Alexei smelled a strong smell of meat, and in the iron pot on the fireplace, the snow-white soup was gurgling and rolling.
