Chapter 128: When eating noodles, you should choose the same noodles as the big girls
The signing event was over, and Oda Shingo took Namikaze Yukuru and Toudo Kaori to eat.
On the way, Oda Shingo called Mikami Saburo.
Director Mikami came here specifically to support me. Although he left midway due to work, things happened for good reasons and there was no need to give up at the end of the event.
[Is everything going well? very good! Thank you for your hard work. After Watsuki Kosuke has accumulated fans for a year, the scene will definitely be more lively, so don’t take it to heart. It's already very good that you can achieve the results you have now. How many newcomers can publish a single book within three months? ] Saburo Mikami left early, unaware of the subsequent changes at the scene, and tried to comfort people.
Oda Shingo smiled and thanked him, and did not say much about the subsequent development of the scene.
Saburo Mikami added: "By the way, Shingo, the sales of the single volume as of 4 p.m. are out. Including Springfield Bookstore and Qunyingsha, as well as bookstores with channel connections, the checkout record shows that your single volume of "One Punch Man" has been sold. More than 7,200 sets!”
"Oh? Not bad?" Oda Shingo remained calm.
[Of course not bad! This is just the result of half a day! This is definitely a hit! ]
"What about "The Sword of the Goddess"?"
[This... After all, the other party is a separate book of this magazine, and he used small tricks, so the results must be better. ]
"Sanlang, you made your promise, it'll be fine."
Saburo Mikami said slowly and tentatively: ["Sword of the Goddess" has sold more than 15,000 copies as of 4 o'clock. ]
Oda Shingo smiled and said: "Oh, this guy can do it."
"As long as you don't get discouraged." Mikami Saburo felt a little relieved when he heard that he seemed to be prepared.
"Why should I be discouraged? "One Punch Man" has plenty of stamina. I'll wait for the official results at 10 p.m."
At ten o'clock in the evening, there is a summary of comic book sales results on Saturday. It is also the most comprehensive and authoritative summary of the day. It is usually used as an important reference for the subsequent distribution of comics, and it is also the standard for judging whether a comic is a hot seller or not.
After chatting for a few more words, Oda Shingo hung up the phone.
"Ah! We're here!" Oda Shingo said, pointing to a ramen shop.
Toudo Kaori smiled and said: "You are so true, Mr. Oda, I am still looking forward to some Italian restaurant or French feast."
Although she said this, she did not stop, but happily entered the store first.
Namikaze Yukaku didn't mind either.
Oda Shingo looked at such a girl and felt happy in his heart.
How many girls find it difficult to return to civilian life after getting rich or experiencing big events. Girls like them who don't mind poverty are really good girls like treasures.
Oda Shingo suddenly remembered.
Hey, system, thanks to your recommendation, I was able to find such a rare girl, right? Thank you.
【It''smypleasure!】The system's feedback actually sounded in my mind.
Hey hey hey! Is your system secretly spying on you? I usually pretend to be dead, but this time I said something.
Oda Shingo tried to communicate with the system in his mind, but there was no sound.
Forget it, ignore this dead body system.
This is a small ramen shop with not many customers, so three people occupied a table and sat down.
The two women happened to sit next to Oda Shingo, sandwiching him on the left and right, which made it a little crowded.
Fortunately, the ramen shop uses a traditional long table, so we can finally sit down.
Oda Shingo started ordering with the two girls: "You're welcome, order whatever you want."
It's actually a ramen shop. How much yen can I order?
"You're quite generous, Mr. Oda. Then I'll order the tonkotsu noodles!" Todo Kouchi said with a smile.
Oda Shingo knew she was joking, and he shouted to the boss cheerfully: "Boss, this beauty wants tonkotsu noodles. I want double portion of tonkotsu!"
He looked like a nouveau riche.
Todo Xiangcheng was slightly surprised: "Hey, how did you know that I like tonkotsu twice as much?"
"...Are you really not afraid of greasy food?" Oda Shingo was speechless.
Todo Kaojo patted his chest and said carelessly: "I've always ordered double tonkotsu when eating noodles!" Yukaku Namikaze looked at the menu and wanted to order salt water ramen, but suddenly remembered that someone was at the signing site just now. To frighten away the enemy with a flanking attack...
She glanced at Todo Xiangcheng's carefree mind again...
"I want tonkotsu noodles too, uh...double..." Yukaku Namikaze ordered the same way.
Oda Shingo looked at Namikaze Yukaku in surprise: "Can you eat something so greasy?"
"..." Namikaze Youkaku shook his body from side to side in embarrassment, lowering his head and looking at something without answering.
I can still see half of my feet, but that’s not good... Namikaze Youkaku thought to himself.
Oda Shingo simply started ordering it himself: "I want tonkotsu ramen too, but not double."
“Let’s have some more noodles and side dishes.”
"Yeah, soft-boiled eggs, bamboo shoots, fungus shreds, seaweed, fish cakes, barbecued pork..."
"By the way, boss, do you have any back fat?"
He suddenly remembered and asked loudly.
The back fat is pork suet, which is not available in all ramen restaurants, but it adds a strong flavor to the ramen.
"Oh! You even know that I like to eat back fat?" Todo Xiangcheng exclaimed.
"...Coincidence, do you believe in coincidence?" Oda Shingo was helpless.
The boss responded and started busy.
While waiting, Toudo Kaori shook her chopsticks in a somewhat unladylike manner, and remembered something that had long interested her: "By the way, Oda-sensei, I noticed how Mikami-san called you, did you just call me Shingo?" ?”
"Yes. I drank too much that time, so he got used to it."
Todo Xiangcheng's eyes were a little wandering, and he said casually, as if casually: "Then, can the female assistant get used to it..."
Under the dim light of the ramen shop, a blush gradually appeared on her face.
Oda Shingo nodded nonchalantly and agreed: "Okay, just call me boss."
Fujido Xiangcheng: "..."
After the ramen was served, the three of them sucked on the noodles and snored.
Making noises while eating ramen is to praise the deliciousness of the noodles.
At this time, Oda Shingo's cell phone rang.
"Is this the call from Saburo Mikami? It seems that the sales of the single volume have exceeded expectations." Oda Shingo put down his chopsticks and smiled softly.
Sure enough, when the call was connected, Minister Mikami's surprised voice came out: "Nobugo! Big comeback!"
Oda Shingo's tone was calm and calm: "I want to hear a number."
"53,000 sets!" Saburo Mikami couldn't suppress his excitement, and his words were like machine guns.
"Eight million gods! From less than ten thousand sales, sales have soared to more than fifty thousand sets!"
"Everyone at the distribution station is dumbfounded! The calls for book reminders are coming in non-stop, and they are too busy at all!"
"Everyone is clamoring for books, and the demand for book reservations in the store alone has exceeded 200,000!"
"Among the single volumes of the first printing of 100,000 copies, not to mention Springfield Bookstore, not even Qunying Society has seen anything like this!"
A single volume with an initial printing of 100,000 copies is a comic with general resource treatment. Compared to national-level comics with initial print runs exceeding hundreds of thousands or even millions, this is just a small water pipe.
But this time, the small water pipe burst out of the big water column!
Outstanding!
