Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Brown-nosing_1 Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Brown-nosing_1 Tong Sanlang raised his eyebrows, “If you ask me, you might as well write storybooks.”
“Storybooks?”
“Yeah, didn’t you always say there’s too little entertainment here? Now that Mahjong and Fight the Landlord have appeared, why not write some storybooks to put in Jiwei Residence and have a special storytelling stage there? Wouldn’t that attract people more than a VIP card?”
“Ah?” Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes widened upon hearing this, and her smile froze, “You want me to write books?”
“Haven’t you watched a lot of TV dramas? Just adapt one, and it could sweep through Daqi, right?”
Qiao Xiaomai blinked, and in the midst of this conversation, a new way to make money was born?
Suddenly she felt as if there were gold mines everywhere, just waiting for her to dig!
But for her to write storybooks, that was a field she had never touched!
“This… my writing is not good.”
If she wrote a novel, it would be just like Yang Ye’s letters, all casual and colloquial.
No one would buy such things.
“Then you tell the story, and I’ll write it. According to customs, we can’t work these days, otherwise we’ll be busy all year round.” Tong Sanlang spoke up.
His idea was a stroke of genius, but now that he thought about it carefully, it was indeed a good one.
When they went to the Capital City, they could present the soap to Yang Wenxiao and the storybooks to Jiwei Residence.
The things he had come up with before were only affordable for the rich. With storybooks, as long as they ate at Jiwei Residence, they could listen; even ordinary people could enjoy them.
Enriching the entertainment life of the people, that was also doing good!
“Uh… what to write about?” Seeing that even Tong Sanlang had stopped practicing his punches, Qiao Xiaomai realized he was serious and hurriedly asked.
“How about martial arts?”
Love stories suited young ladies in seclusion, but martial arts were better, embodying the spirit of chivalry and promoting positive energy.
“Martial arts, I’m familiar with that!” In Qiao Xiaomai’s mind, various martial arts TV series immediately appeared. Over the years, many of them had been remade time and again, so even if she didn’t watch them much, she knew the general plots.
“Hmm… how about ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’? It’s related to national righteousness.”
“You tell it in detail.” Tong Sanlang gestured for her to come inside for a detailed discussion.
They went into the room and Qiao Xiaomai outlined the story. After listening, Tong Sanlang thought for a moment and said, “Why not adapt this story to the retired emperor?”
The former dynasty was corrupt, and life was hard for the people. Various powerful families and aristocratic families rose in rebellion, and in the end, the Yang Family seized the throne. If they adapted ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ to Yang Wenxiao, it would be like flattery for him and prevent others from saying that the Tong Family had ulterior motives through the implications of the story.
Being a descendant of Gu Yu, getting involved with this story was indeed sensitive.
“I see,” Qiao Xiaomai said, nodding repeatedly after hearing Tong Sanlang’s explanation. “It should be like this. We also have stories of the Yang family generals; we can mix them in as well.”
Flattery was easy; just take all the good traits of the male protagonists from various novels and heap them onto Yang Wenxiao, lavishing praise with gusto to ensure delighting Yang Wenxiao’s dragon heart.
“Tell me the story of the Yang family generals,” Tong Sanlang said.
So, for the next few days, Tong Sanlang was fully committed to creating the novel. He pondered over the wording and conceived the plot, working late into the night every day.
By the time the first draft was complete, it was ten days later.
During this period, bicycle production had resumed, and the farmhands were busy daily. The snow had melted, and spring was about to arrive, so it was time to get busy with the fields.
This New Year passed in a hurry.
