As soon as Qiao Mu negotiated with the publishing house, he immediately copied the royalty contract again.
¡°Then I sent both signed royalty contracts to the publishing house. The publishing house received the two contracts, signed and stamped them, and quickly sent another copy back.
And urged Qiao Mu to send them the finished manuscript so that they could proofread and publish it.
Wait until all this trouble is over.
It¡¯s already eight days later.
There is no way, the logistics system at this time is indeed not very good, the speed of sending letters is also relatively slow, and the distance between the two sides is not very close.
It takes eight days to get it done, which is pretty good.
Within these eight days, Qiao Mu also received a reply from the story meeting. The reply was quite straightforward. Not only did it mean that Qiao Mu had successfully passed the manuscript, but it also sent her the royalties for the three manuscripts. , all calculated on the basis of ten yuan per thousand words, the three manuscripts add up to three hundred yuan, which is as much as her monthly pension.
But Qiao Mu only wrote this once.
After sending out the food article.
She continued to concentrate on writing the follow-up to her food novel. She planned to write this novel in nine volumes with 1.8 million words, which would involve about 80 kinds of home-cooked dishes, and 100 kinds of snacks from various places. Among them, half of the home-cooked dishes are available in this world, and the other half are not found in this world, and the same is true for snacks.
Yes, she plans to sell this book as both a novel and a cookbook.
Selling two copies of one book may lead to more sales.
As Qiao Mu continued to write, China Publishing House had a discussion after proofreading the manuscript that Qiao Mu had sent, and decided to print 10,000 copies first, and the price was eight yuan.
Calculated, Qiao Mu¡¯s royalties are 5,600.
Of course, for a newcomer like Qiao Mu, the publisher will definitely not be able to pay royalties in advance. The money will have to wait until the batch of books they print is sold out, or at least a few months after they start selling.
At this time, there are generally two situations. One is that the book is selling very well, and all 10,000 copies have been sold out in a few days. Then the publishing house will definitely sell Qiao Mu¡¯s books as soon as they are sold out and the money is recovered. After paying the royalties, there is still money that is not easy to sell.
After selling for more than a month, not much was sold.
At this time, the situation has to be discussed separately.
The royalties are estimated to be, at most, based on the amount sold. If the product is sold too little, it may lead to a collapse.
After all, books can¡¯t be sold.
In the end, if you lose it, the publishing house will also suffer a loss.
This is also the main reason why many publishing houses are reluctant to bring in new people, or even if they like a new person, they will not print too many copies in one edition. If they print too many at once and cannot sell them, they will not be able to sell them. What a shame.
You must first let them see that there is hope of selling the book, then they can feel confident and print more copies.
From proofreading to publishing.
The whole process took about half a month.
It wasn¡¯t until half a month later that Qiao Mu¡¯s book started to be put on the shelves. At this time, there were no fancy things, and there was no habit of writing ¡°someone recommends¡± or ¡°strongly recommends¡± on the cover.
So it is a very simple book.
Put it on the new bookshelf of the bookstore partnered by their publishing house, so that readers can choose to buy it.
I have to say that compared to the popular culture at this time, Qiao Mu¡¯s book is obviously an unpopular genre. This is destined to not get much attention for her book, because the title alone is enough to dissuade a lot of people. Among the people who opened her book out of curiosity, those who were impatient and impatient, as well as those who had a clear purpose, basically turned two pages, looked at the table of contents, and read one or two paragraphs. Just put it back.
The last point is the one who is likely to buy it.
On the first day, Qiao Mu Books sold only 102 copies, and on the second day, 73 copies were sold. In the first week, only about 1,000 copies were sold.
Although this number is not great, the people at the publishing house are not too frustrated, because in their opinion, the new author has no one to recommend, and there is no publicity for the book. The sales volume is already good. It seems that the first If you print 10,000 copies in one edition, you should have no problem selling it.
¡¡
Su¡¯s house, No. 6, Yinghong Street, Annan City.
As soon as Su Hongying came back, she smelled a very strong fragrance coming from her home that she had never smelled before. She immediately?Throwing his schoolbag aside, he hurried to the kitchen entrance and asked:
¡°Mom, what did you eat for lunch today?
It smells so good, it¡¯s a fragrance I¡¯ve never smelled before. "
"You really deserve to be a dog. This dog's nose is sharper than anyone else. Today I made baked shrimp with egg yolk, which is a new dish written in the book. I read in the book that it looks delicious. It's just right at home. You can also eat the salted duck eggs pickled half a month ago.
So I tried it, and I didn¡¯t expect it to taste quite good. You can try it later. If it tastes good, we will pickle some salted duck eggs in two days.
I read in a book that salted egg yolk can be used to bake many things. It can also be made into salted egg yolk sauce and poured on top of rice crackers. I will try it later when I have time. "
Seeing her daughter¡¯s head peeking in, Hu Haili immediately smiled and said something to her, and then while explaining the origin of the recipe, she picked up a cooked salted egg yolk baked large prawn with chopsticks.
Handed to her daughter.
¡°What kind of book is there about cooking?
Did you buy the recipe? "
While speaking, Su Hongying had already reached out to take the baked shrimp with salted egg yolk and put it into her mouth.
After sucking and chewing a few mouthfuls, he quickly swallowed the shrimp including the shell, and said in amazement:
¡°Wow, this is so delicious.
This rustling texture is nothing like eating salted duck eggs normally. I can't bear to spit out the shrimp shells. The taste is really amazing. Mom, have you done it? Once it's done, put it up quickly. What's left in the pot? Don't waste the salted egg yolk, mix it with some rice, and then feed it to me directly. "
With just one bite, Su Hongying was conquered by the taste of this new dish. At the same time, people had already entered the kitchen, urging her mother to put the dish up quickly.
When speaking.
She even reached directly into the pot to get it.
Then, the hand she stretched out was slapped by her mother: "Please restrain yourself.
From now on, you go to other people¡¯s houses to eat, and you still do this when you marry into your husband¡¯s house. It¡¯s not enough to embarrass me.
Your father and brother haven¡¯t come back yet.
Why are you so anxious? Wash your hands first.
You can wait until everyone is here before eating, okay? "
"Okay, I get it now!"
Su Hongying said she knew, but her hands had already reached into the pot very flexibly, grabbed two egg yolk baked shrimps and ran away. Hu Haili couldn't go to her daughter's mouth to snatch food at this time, so she could only tell her two more things. sentence, and then began to serve the dishes.
And continue cooking other dishes.
Make baby cabbage soup and fake crab roe soup.
As soon as the two dishes were prepared, her husband and son came back. The next step was to wash hands and serve rice together, and taste the new dishes.
There is no doubt that the baked shrimp with egg yolk was unanimously praised by the whole family. Hu Haili immediately decided to gradually try the other dozen dishes written in Qiao Mu's book in the next few days.
Maybe there will be some surprises.
A month later, Qiao Mu¡¯s books had sold a total of just over 7,000 copies, and the dishes in her books had already been copied by many hotels and became the main dishes.
Some even appear in ordinary people¡¯s homes.
There are also some snacks that are not found in this world.
People have also started to sell at stalls.
Even because it was relatively novel and had no other competitors, it sold very well and made a lot of money for a while.
¡°Don¡¯t talk about book money.
A hundred times the book money was earned back.
Although the publishing house did not notice this, this result is actually good for them. After all, they did not distribute the book all over the country. They only distributed it slightly in some prosperous cities in the province.
Now I can see that the first batch of trial sales are selling well.
They immediately printed another batch, printing a full 100,000 copies, and officially began to distribute the goods across the country.
In addition, they also paid the royalties of 10,000 copies of the first edition to Qiao Mu in advance. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
