The hot sale of "China on the Tip of the Tongue" is not unexpected. After all, the sales of "New Yorkers" increased greatly when serializing this book, which was well received in the American cultural community, but the score of 84,000 copies in the first week was really scary.

On the first week, the New York Times best -selling championship champion, many best -selling books have such situations.

But the difference between "China on the Tip of the Tongue" is that its author is foreigners, and it is also written in the Chinese food culture that is relatively niche in American society.

The most important thing is that its tone is not the same as the best -selling book of fast -food nature. Its many are intellectuals.

All people in the publishing industry understand that such types of works may be difficult to become a best -selling book.

But it is not difficult to grow long.

With the hot sales of "China on the Tip of the Tongue", once it is long, it is too exaggerated.

In the second week of listing, the sales of "China on the Tip of the Tongue" continued to advance high, and continued to occupy the "New York Times" best -selling championship with 102,000 copies.

Many people who are still looking forward to this book are disappointed. It seems that this book will not only become a dark horse in the American book market in January, but also it is also likely to be a dark horse in 1992.

The sales of sales published in "China on the Tip of the Tongue" have caused a lot of discussion in the publishing industry.

However, Lin Chaoyang, who is in Xiangjiang, has little impact.

He recently looked at the Chinese manuscripts of "China on the Tip of the Tongue" and the Chinese manuscript. The efficiency is considerable. It is expected that it will definitely end before the year. This can finally live a good year.

Look at the half half in January, less than 20 days before the Chinese New Year.

They were in Xiangjiang most of the time after the notes, but they had a kind of affection for Yanjing.

Because when I return to Yanjing every year, there are always fun and delicious foods. There are always lively crowds of laughter and laughter. The whole city is in a grand festive atmosphere.

Yanjing = New Year's New Year = Happy and boundless, this is the impression in the minds of the two little guys.

"Dad, when will we go back to Yanjing?"

That morning, Yan Yan was on a small schoolbag and was about to go out to school. Suddenly he turned to ask Lin Chaoyang.

"It's almost, you can go back to Yanjing in the first half of the first month."

Hearing the words, Yan Yan's little face suddenly wrinkled into bitter gourd, "Ah? It's so long?"

"Okay, go to school, don't be late!"

Tao Yushu didn't give her a chance, grabbed her hand and gave it to the nanny.

The little girl is six years old this year, her mouth can be said, and even a little bit of grinding. One thing to say that can be repeated for half an hour.

His wife and children went to work and went to school, and Lin Chaoyang was not idle. He took a car to Xiangjiang University of Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang University of China, and gave him an honorary doctor. The two sides also had a good destiny.

Do a simple communication at school.

Nowadays, Lin Chaoyang is famous all over Hong Kong. In terms of popularity, he is even better than those movie stars. The key is that he is famous at home and abroad. His quality is much higher than those movie stars, so he is more respected by students.

Especially the recent publication of "A Bite of China" in the United States, sales exploded, and it appeared in the New York Times

The news spread back to Xiangjiang and made Lin Chaoyang appear in several newspaper headlines.

Therefore, as soon as he appeared at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, he immediately attracted the attention of many students.

After a two-hour exchange in the morning, one student asked Lin Chaoyang why "A Bite of China" has been published in the United States for several days, but not in Hong Kong.

These words resonated with many students, and Lin Chaoyang suddenly became ashamed.

"It's almost time. The manuscript has been handed over to the publisher a few days ago."

After hastily dealing with the students' questioning, Lin Chaoyang ran away decisively.

After being reminded by the students, he called Dong Qiao after coming out of the Central High School and made an appointment to have lunch in North Point.

When you come to Chun Yeung Street in North Point, the open-air market is colorful and lively, giving you a fireworks atmosphere unique to Hong Kong.

I had lunch with Dong Qiao. He said that "A Bite of China" would be published years ago, and asked about Lin Chaoyang's new book.

For Dong Qiao, books like "A Bite of China" can only be regarded as fun, and only Lin Chaoyang's novels are truly worthy of attention.

"It's coming soon, I'll definitely give it to you before the end of the year."

"This is what you said. After dinner, go back and catch up on the manuscript if you have nothing to do!"

"You're quite lenient!"

Lin Chaoyang gave him a compliment, stood up and left. Not only did he not go home, but he wandered around North Point, focusing on a rebellious character.

Rebellion is only a superficial reason, the main reason is just wanting to fish.

How can it be more interesting to spend all day in the house climbing on the grid than outside to catch the wind?

North Point was known as Little Shanghai in the early years, and later became Little Fujian. A tram track in the middle is the most unique scenery here.

Unfortunately, time has passed and the development here has gradually been overtaken by other areas in Xiangjiang. Instead, it has created a sense of nostalgia where time has stopped.

There are many bookstores here. There is a "Tao Bookstore" in New Times Square at the junction of King's Road and Fortress Hill Road. Diagonally opposite to it is Sen Kee Books and Railway Museum. The owner of the store keeps a bunch of cats. Passers-by always come here.

Attracted by a group of furry cats.

Lin Chaoyang took a walk and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

Walking into a small street shop on Java Road, he called the several bodyguards who had been following him into the shop and asked everyone to have something to drink to quench their thirst and chat by the way.

"Where do you usually go to rest?" Lin Chaoyang asked several bodyguards.

Several bodyguards have one day off every week, but they rarely go out. When asked, everyone told me that the places they have been to are mediocre, only Mong Kok, Wan Chai and other lively areas, and most of them are just casual visits.

.

When everyone first came to Xiangjiang, they felt a sense of novelty for a while. However, as time went by and the novelty wore off, the filter for the developed city of Xiangjiang disappeared. Most people only thought about saving money.

money.

Some people want to work as bodyguards for a few years and then return to their hometown to find a living after raising their capital. Some people want to buy property in Xiangjiang and bring their families over.

Listening to the life plans and goals of several bodyguards, Lin Chaoyang couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy in his heart.

As wealth continues to increase and people's material desires continue to be satisfied, this kind of ordinary daily life with shortcomings becomes more scarce.

After wandering out all afternoon, I went home and coded for two hours in the evening. I heard some movement outside. Lin Chaoyang came out of the study and Tao Yushu was scolding Yan Yan.

"When did you come back? What's wrong?"

"I just came back. Ask your daughter!"

Lin Chaoyang turned his gaze to Yan Yan. The little guy stared with big eyes full of tears, "Dad?"

Before a pair of short legs could get into Lin Chaoyang's arms, his mother grabbed him by the neck.

"Stop pretending to be pitiful. Why didn't you cry when you beat me up?"

Tao Yushu tore off Yan Yan's pretense of being harmless to humans and animals with one sentence. Lin Chaoyang was surprised and said: "A fight? Come, let dad see if you are injured?"

Lin Chaoyang stepped forward and hugged his daughter. He looked left and right and saw that she didn't seem to be in trouble, so he felt relieved.

Yan Yan's initially fearful expression calmed down after receiving support from her old father, and she even gave her mother a somewhat proud look.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do you want to get beaten?"

When she saw her mother getting angry, she immediately shrank into her father's arms and timidly shouted: "Dad, okay, the child just had a fight, so stop scaring her."

Lin Chaoyang felt sorry for his daughter and became a peacemaker.

Tao Yushu was furious. This little girl is so good at acting at such a young age.

"You are still protecting her. What kind of fight is it that she beats others? Your daughter broke the heads of her classmates!"

Lin Chaoyang was surprised when he heard this. He held his daughter's arm and asked, "What's going on?"

"Dad~" Seeing that his old father's expression turned serious, Yan Yan tried to be cute and get away with it.

Tao Yushu scolded: "It's no use calling me dad. If you make a mistake, you will be beaten!"

"Don't scare her, first listen to what the child has to say." Lin Chaoyang said,

At the moment, Dongdong is watching the fun with silly joy. Usually he gets beaten while his sister watches the fun.

The roles were reversed today, which feels really good.

"When her classmates wanted to play with her, but she refused, and they came over to hold her hand, she beat them up.

He was beaten with a pencil case and had a cut on his head," Tao Yushu said.

Lin Chaoyang frowned, "That really shouldn't be the case. Classmates should be friendly to each other. If you don't like playing with others, just say so. Why would you hit them?"

Yan Yan said, "Dad, I don't like to play with boys!"

"Men?" Lin Chaoyang heard this face change, and his eyebrows were cold, "That's not wrong!

"Chaoyang!" Tao Yushu screamed with an unscrupulous position for her husband.

Knowing that he couldn't get in the past, Lin Chaoyang coughed lightly, and his face was solemnly: "Even if the male classmate wants to pull your hand, you have to say that he is unwilling.

Ah! This is called the first gift and then the soldier! "

Yan Yan nodded seriously, "Daddy, I know, I will talk about him again in the future."

"Can't do it or don't do it. You are a girl, you want a lady."
