Chapter 167: Master Ma eats dog food, Barley's cleverness, and the law of nature will turn arou
Chen An did not disturb Ma Ye who was in deep thought, and started to cook. When it came to cooking, Chen An was very good at it and quickly prepared four dishes and a soup.
Ma Ye had long been attracted by the aroma of the food and stopped thinking about the mess for the time being, "Xiao Chen, your cooking skills are really authentic."
Chen An chuckled, "They are all small paths, I'll go up and call Da Mai first..."
Da Mai rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened the door, threw himself into Chen An's arms, put his head on Chen An's shoulder and asked, "What time is it, Xiao Wu brother?"
"It's almost six o'clock, you're still not awake?"
"Hmm, hm?" Da Mai sniffed, "Brother Xiaowu, why do you smell like vegetables?"
Chen An smiled helplessly. Damai is also at the leader level, and the sleepy look on his face is quite funny.
"Hurry up and wash your face, and go downstairs to eat..."
"Eat?" Da Mai muttered, standing up and rubbing his eyes, looking at Chen An with a somewhat aggrieved and depressed expression, "Brother Xiaowu, did you cook for yourself?"
"Um, that..."
"Didn't we agree that I would cook for you tonight? I even set the alarm..." Da Mai was stunned and ran back to the room. He took out his phone and looked at it. Oops, I set the alarm too late. I should have set it for five o'clock. Zhou Qingtian, Zhou Qingtian, you...
Watching Da Mai's operation, Chen An couldn't help but touch his nose. This girl was dazed all day long. She had to be reformed. No wonder her cheap father-in-law got her a dog. It was really a helpless move. She would slowly adapt when she got to Shanghai...
After dinner and cleaning up the kitchen, Ma Ye made a pot of tea and sent a video to the two of them using their WeChat.
"Uncle Ma, where did you take this photo? The scenery is nice, but the pixel of this phone is a bit poor." Da Mai asked curiously.
Master Ma smiled and was in a good mood. "It's the tea mountain in another village. Didn't I ask you to go with me yesterday?"
Chen An put down his phone and pondered for a moment before asking, "There is indeed a problem with the filming, or is it because of the equipment? The scenery here will definitely look beautiful if it is photographed from an aerial perspective..."
"I've already purchased this, it's the latest model on the market." Ma Ye looked at Da Mai, rubbed his hands awkwardly and asked, "Damai, don't you usually write novels?"
Barley nodded and looked at Master Ma with a puzzled expression, "Yes, why are you asking this?"
Ma Ye took out a small notebook, opened it, placed it in front of Da Mai and asked, "Take a look at this, I recorded it myself."
Da Mai picked it up and looked at it with a surprised expression, "Master Ma, you are not going to let me help you write the copy, are you?"
"Yes, I'm really not good at this. You're the only cultural worker I know around here. Can you help me polish it?"
Da Mai quickly waved his hands and said unconfidently, "Master Ma, forget it. I have never done this before and I can't do it well."
Chen An put down the teacup in his hand and encouraged, "Da Mai, I think you can actually give this a try. After all, there are many descriptions of scenery in novels. Just treat it as daily practice. With time, you will definitely become more proficient in describing scenery."
Da Mai was a little tempted after hearing this, but he looked at Ma Ye and saw that he was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to start the conversation.
But this was obviously an unnecessary worry. Chen An would not let his family work for nothing. "Master Ma, Da Mai is actually quite busy writing articles. And as the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly, right?"
Ma Ye held his forehead and smiled, "Yes, Xiao Chen is right. This is what we should do. After all, this is also considered as knowledge payment. Is it okay for Damai to say so?"
"Master Ma, how about this? I'm free right now, so I'll try it first and see if it works?" Da Mai breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Brother Xiaowu, he would have been too embarrassed to ask. After all, Master Ma often asked him to have tea with him.
In the tea room, Ma Qiushan was drinking tea, looking at the two people opposite him talking and laughing as if no one was around. He chewed his teeth and felt that his mouth was inexplicably filled with dog food. The tea didn't seem so fragrant anymore. But what made him even more curious was, what was going on with Xiao Chen? Why were these women in the yard so close to him?
In an hour, Ma Ye went to the toilet twice, and finally finished a fresh piece of copywriting.
After reading the whole thing and watching the video I shot, I became more and more satisfied. I gave it a thumbs up and praised it, "Da Mai, your writing is really good. It's well written, easy to understand, and clearly organized..."
"No, no, it was all thanks to Brother Xiaowu's help, otherwise I wouldn't be able to write it myself..."
Ma Ye felt that he couldn't eat dog food like this anymore. He looked at the two of them and asked tentatively, "Da Mai, how much do you think it would cost to write a copy like this?"
Da Mai felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. After all, she had never done such a thing before and she didn't understand the market situation. Besides, this was just to help out, so she could only look to Chen An for help.
To be honest, Chen An didn't understand this either, and Ma Ye was in the early stages of his business, so he probably only had one dollar in his hand, and he had to spend it carefully. It would not be appropriate to charge too much, nor would it be appropriate to charge too little. Moreover, it was difficult to get used to this kind of copywriting when he first started writing it, but after getting used to it, he could basically finish it in an hour, or even faster.
"How about this, Master Ma? One hundred yuan for every thousand words. If it's less than a hundred words, we'll round it up. What do you think?"
Ma Ye nodded and agreed to the price. "I have no problem with that. What do you think, Barley?"
Damai nodded. She was quite satisfied with the price. If she spared an hour every day, she could earn two to three thousand yuan a month. She was very satisfied with it. "I'll listen to Brother Xiaowu..."
Well, it was another mouthful of dog food. Based on Ma Ye's many years of experience, Da Mai's eyes were not looking at a neighbor, so he should not be an eyesore here. "You guys chat, I'll go upstairs first."
As soon as Master Ma left, Da Mai immediately asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiaowu, did Master Ma see something just now?"
Chen An looked into Damai's eyes and asked, "Damai, how about I tell you a story about the boy who cried wolf?"
"Why do we need to tell this story? Didn't we learn about it in our elementary school textbooks?"
"Children who lie are eaten by wolves, and wolves like pretty girls even more."
Being looked at by Chen An, Da Mai's face was a little hot. Oh my god, he was found by Xiao Wu. What should I do? Waiting online is very urgent? Didn't the novel say that in this situation, it should not be noticed? Did I just overact?
Da Mai's expression said it all. Chen An was also a little depressed. Isn't it said that girls in love have zero IQ? Why is it different for me? She even learned to use tricks on me? It's quite funny to think about it. The trick I just used on Nana yesterday was returned by Da Mai today.
God has its own way. Who can escape the fate of the world? Fortunately, it was Master Ma. If it was Hu Youyu, it would be troublesome.
Seeing Chen An didn't say anything, Da Mai felt a little uneasy. Did Xiao Wu dislike his initiative? Or did he think it was not good for him to be so scheming?
"Brother Xiaowu, I..."
Chen An stopped Da Mai from speaking with his actions. After tasting the food for a while and looking at Da Mai’s blushing face, Chen An smiled and explained, “Da Mai, we have known each other for too short a time. You don’t know me well enough…”
Da Mai blinked, the line sounded so familiar, and quickly covered Chen An's mouth, "Brother Xiaowu, I'm sorry, I was too impatient..."
Ah, Chen An couldn't help but feel helpless. What did this girl think of? Why did she hold back her lines again? But Chen An was still very good at seizing opportunities. He gently took away Da Mai's hand, looked at Da Mai with complicated eyes, and sighed, "You go upstairs first. It's almost time. I'll go pick up Hongdou and Nana after get off work..."
Da Mai's expression darkened. It was exactly as he had guessed. He forced a smile and said, "Brother Xiaowu, please be careful."
"Um..."
Chen An breathed a sigh of relief only after leaving the courtyard. Although it was only a short while, he was really under a lot of pressure. He felt that his brain was working at high speed and every expression and movement required careful consideration. However, it seemed that the effect was good and the desired purpose was achieved.
Chen An has thoroughly understood Da Mai's character. This girl is not only brave in the face of pressure, she is also able to persist in her favorite career and is actually quite bold when it comes to relationship issues. If she hadn't restrained herself these past few days, the couple would probably have been working in the fields together.
Moreover, Chen An did feel a little uncomfortable when he saw the look in Da Mai's eyes just now. In the final analysis, he still had no money. If he had the wealth and status of his previous life, he wouldn't have to worry about many problems. It seems that he has to start his own business as soon as possible. He will talk to the editor tomorrow. Although the copyright of Mortals cannot be sold, there are other things that can be sold...
