Chapter 203 Should I give him some advice?
"It's 68,000 volumes." Tu Liang corrected him seriously, but he couldn't say less. Rounding off, it was 70,000.
Tu Liang is estimated to be in his forties. He is dressed very typically, with dark striped long sleeves and a black jacket. The only difference from ordinary middle-aged men is that he does not have a big key hanging around his waist. Instead, he had a bracelet in his hand.
"Yes! There are almost 70,000 copies, and many of Tu Liang's collections of poems have been published in magazines." The store owner said, "If you have any writing problems, you can take advantage of this It’s a rare opportunity to ask.”
“Teacher Tu Liang’s casual guidance can benefit the students a lot.” The store owner praised first and then asked questions.
"No, no, no, I write poetry and I really have no experience in writing novels." Tu Liang also knew himself. He said, "I happened to invite a friend here for dinner. He is a writer and has published several novels. If you have any questions, kid, you should ask him.”
“Thank you, Teacher Tu, and thank you to the store owner.” Gu Lu said his thanks sincerely.
After saying hello, Gu Lu found an empty table in the corner and sat down. He liked to sit in a remote place when eating alone.
"It's still the old rule to catch fish. If you are alone, I will find a small one for you." The shop owner said.
“O is definitely K.” Gu Lu responded, the mantra is like this, if you listen to it too much, it will be unspoken.
About twenty minutes later, the person Tu Liang had made an appointment with arrived, a man of the same age.
When the shop owner saw this, he immediately served the fish. The fish is easy to cook, so he had to wait for the customers to come.
When the fish was served, the shop owner even said good things to Gu Lu, "He's just a kid. Even though he's young, he buys groceries and eats alone. He's very independent and he's from the No. 8 Middle School across the street. Student. "
The fish hotpot is a few hundred meters downstairs from Gu Lu, and as you all know, his house, Jiafuyuan, is diagonally opposite the No. 8 Middle School, so the owner of the shop is a restaurant in the school district.
"No. 8 Middle School?" Wu Du looked in the direction of the store owner's finger and saw a familiar figure.
Gu Lu? Wu Du felt that he must have read it correctly.
"Little writer, come here quickly." The shop owner was really interested, and he even gave me an extra plate of vegetarian dishes.
"I often come to this boss's place to eat fish, and he looks very smart. If this student has any problems, you can still give me some advice." Tu Liang saw that his friend was a little dull, and thought it was because he was not happy, so The meaning of saying this is to give me face.
Guide Gu Lu? Wu Du touched the tea cup next to him and took a few sips to calm down.
"Hello, Teacher Wu." Gu Lu was the first to speak. The instructor of the Shuren Literary Club also asked him to write a stage play script. Even though he hadn't seen him for several months, he definitely hadn't forgotten it.
"I almost forgot, you work in the No. 8 Middle School." Tu Liang patted his head.
“Long time no see.” Wu Du said, “I can’t guide him. He is Gu Lu, yes, the Gu Lu you know.”
Gu Lu did not participate in the fog It's common for people who don't pay special attention to the Writers' Association to not recognize it, but this name is like thunder to Tu Liang's ears!
Student Writers!
Young genius!
Essay killer!
The youngest writer who is a member of the Beijing Writers Association!
"Ahem." Tu Liang thought of the other party's "The Little Prince" with a sales volume of nearly 600,000, and instantly felt that he could not handle his 68,000 poem collection at all.
“It’s better to meet each other than to be famous,” Tu Liang looked sideways at the shop owner, “Old Lei, you are just kidding me, is he still using me for guidance?”
The shop owner said With a confused face, he looked at Tu Liang.
His name is not "Lei Shi", mainly because for a period of time he often called him "Lai", so the old diners called him "Lao Lei". When he shouted in the Wudu dialect, he became Lao Lei, and the new diners thought his last name was "Lao Lei". thunder.
Lao Lei, the owner of the shop, stopped complaining about being tired after his patron got sick and went home to recuperate. He only went home to complain about being tired to his wife.
"Xiao Gu, you are still as low-key as ever." Wu Du thought of what happened last semester, "You better speak for yourself."
"I have written a few articles myself. It was published in a magazine and a book was published," Gu Lu said in an understatement. "Story Club, Literary Youth, New Reading, Science Fiction World, and Time Mystery are all serialized in these magazines." Wu Du said directly, "As for the book he published, it was the best-selling fairy tale book in the country last year. ”
In fact, the news about Wu Du was somewhat delayed, and Gu Lu was published in two magazines abroad.
"I know about the story meeting, I know." The store owner Lao Lei said immediately. He looked at Gu Lu, "I have bought many books at home. How many brains do you have when you write so many magazines? "Awesome?"
"I can't tell at all, they're all the same brain. Why are they so much better than my kids?" the shop owner Lao Lei muttered the second half of the sentence.
“Life is not easy, so I am versatile.” Gu Lu said, “In the current poetry environment, Teacher Tu’s poetry collection can sell more than 50,000 copies, which is amazing. I really want to hear a few words from Teacher Tu.”
Gu Lu said, “In addition, although I did not join the Shuren Literature Club, I benefited a lot from Teacher Wu’s guidance.”
Look, Gu Lu, who looks like a child on the outside, but is as mature as an adult on the inside, speaks so nicely. Wu Du glanced at Tu Liang, and saw that his friend was looking silly and happy, and the skewers in his hand were no longer plated.
There are many people who praise Tu Liang, but are they as valuable as the talented young man Gu Lugao?
No!
"Ahem, it should be mutual communication. I also benefited a lot from watching "The Little Prince."" Tu Liang said, "Old Lei, I will pay for these two tables today!"
"Teacher Tu, don't use this..."
Before Gu Lu could even say his words of rejection, he was interrupted by Tu Liang, "I must ask you to do this. I met Wang Nian's little friend, right, Lao Wu?"
This is Wang Nian's acquaintance? Wu Du was speechless, but as a teacher and an elder, it was appropriate to treat students to a meal.
"Don't refuse, Xiao Gu. How much does a fish hot pot meal cost?" Wu Du also spoke.
Well, I got my meal after brushing my face, and Gu Lu also thanked me.
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect that in my small shop, three writers came today. After eating, they must take a group photo with me and I will hang it on the wall." The shop owner, Lao Lei, said with a smile. He walked to the kitchen and said, "I will send you two more dishes of vegetarian dishes. Eat more."
Tips from the store owner - give away vegetarian dishes!
"No problem."
"A group photo? I should dress more handsomely today."
Wu Du and Tu Liang both agreed that Gu Lu was also a cannibal and short-tongued. Also agree.
Besides, the boss really takes care of him.
The two sides sat at the same table later. Gu Lu was a good listener and his desire to express was not too strong.
As a good listener, Wu Du felt that his friend Tu Liang talked many times more than before.
Ding——
A voice flashed in my head, huh? Gu Lu didn't look at what happened again.
Since the meal is over, it’s time to take a group photo with the owner of the restaurant, Lao Lei.
This is the first time Gu Lu has taken a group photo together.
"Old Lei, please develop two more photos. I want one too." Tu Liang said, "Old Wu, do you want it?"
"I don't want it. I'm wearing it today. The clothes don’t look very good,” Wu Du said.
It seems like Wu Du made the decision he regrets most this year...
