Chapter 701 Return to Nature

"This short story is really completely different from your previous style, Teacher Qiyu." The female editor said this, making Qiyu nervous again.

"However," she changed the subject, "Mr. Qiyu, you are a talented cartoonist who can easily control various styles. This time, you use this form of children's simple drawings to challenge your limits again."

"Challenge...the limit?"

"I understand. You want to prove that even the most primitive and immature brushstrokes can still depict excellent and moving stories. As a cartoonist, you should pay more attention to the story itself rather than other details, especially those dazzling painting techniques."

The female editor was stunned.

"What does that word mean? Return to nature, yes, return to nature."

"I... think so? Yes, I do think so." Qi Yu nodded seriously, "This is the point I want to express. Today's comic circle is too exaggerated. It's time to straighten it out. Otherwise, how can we start a war with short videos and win back readers?”

"I fully feel and support your position. If this is the case, then I don't think there is any need to refine this draft. I can ask the assistant teachers to highlight and color it before publishing it. In this case, I will definitely be able to catch up with the time. "

After finishing speaking, the female editor put away the computer and tablet, and then solemnly saluted Qi Yu, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Qi Yu."

"Ah, it's nothing," Qi Yu waved his hand, "It's more difficult for you, and you have to chase me around. This is what I should do. When I'm free, I'll treat you to food... Hey, we I'm in the restaurant now. I was so absorbed in painting that I forgot about it.

He slapped his head and said, "In that case, let's eat together."

"No, I have to go back to work. I have already received the draft. I need to send it to the assistant teachers quickly." The female editor stood up and said.

"Is this so..." Qi Yu was a little disappointed.

The female editor put on her backpack and walked to the door, then stopped and said, "By the way, Teacher Qiyu, you should be free tomorrow."

"Yes, yes." Qi Yu nodded quickly, with a look of expectation in his eyes.

"Then please start next week's update as early as possible. Don't delay it until now like this time." The female editor warned.

"Eh?"

Seeing the female editor push open the door and leave, Qi Yu seemed a little disappointed, but he didn't remain silent for long, and soon his stomach began to growl.

Qi Yu glanced at the Patek Philippe he just bought on his wrist, and then realized that it was already half past eight and he hadn't eaten yet.

Malu said at this time, "I have already brought back the chili meat sauce tacos and asked the chef to help heat them. Besides, I saw that you had been busy before, so I told the kitchen to postpone the next dishes, and now they have been cooked again.

"Thanks."

Malu quickly brought out the hot chili meat sauce tacos, followed closely by a bowl of meatball soup.

Qi Yu only felt that the soup was fragrant, the meatballs were fresh and elastic, and had a strange taste like lava. The onions, chili peppers, and pepper whetted his appetite.

He ate seven meatballs in one go before putting down his spoon and asking, "What kind of meat is this?"

"Lizard meat."

"Well," Qi Yu almost vomited when he heard this, "Why a lizard?"

"It's you who wants to eat Mexican food. Lizards are already on the Mexican diet."

"What, Mexicans still eat lizards?" Qi Yu was shocked, "Are you lying to me?"

"If you don't believe me, you can use Baidu on your mobile phone." Ma Lu said, "Why should I lie to you? Lizard meat is also very expensive, right?"

"That said, it's a bit too much to make lizards into food, although they do taste quite delicious."

Qi Yu looked at the unfinished half bowl of soup in front of him with hesitation. Then he thought of something and asked quickly, "Is there any strange food in the back?"

“The next dish is the caviar taco.”

"Caviar, caviar is good. I remember it was very expensive. I've wanted to try it for a long time." Qi Yu suddenly became interested after hearing this.

"Mexican caviar is different from regular caviar in that it is made from ant eggs."

Ma Lu's words made Qi Yu's face turn pale again, "Ah, do ants still have eggs?"

"Otherwise, do you think that ant colonies come out of mitosis?"

"No, I mean that thing can be eaten too?"

"Mexicans quite like eating bugs."

Malu also found out after checking Mexican food. It happened that there was a lot of ant, lizard, and scorpion meat in the tabletop farm, which was not easy to sell. He planned to hold a Mexican food week to process these ingredients.

"Ah, is there any more normal... food?" Qi Yu said after swallowing.

"Didn't you say you like Mexican food?" Malu raised his eyebrows.

"I've never eaten it before, I've only seen it in books." Qi Yu admitted honestly.

"What book?"

"'I Sell Arms in Mexico'."

"Internet articles."

"Hmm, I used to listen to it when I was driving a taxi. Unfortunately, I only listened to a thousand chapters and no more later ones. It seemed to be unfinished because it always described banquets for subordinates and so on. It made me very interested in Mexican food. I was curious and wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to be so strange.

"Of course it tastes very, very good, but I'm a more old-fashioned person, and I can't accept this kind of special and novel food emotionally."

"Then I'll ask the kitchen to change the menu." Malu snapped his fingers.

"That's great." Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Malu then replaced the caviar tacos with pit-roasted lamb tacos, and the last dessert was the fruit tart.

Lao Wang first spread a layer of potatoes, carrots, cucumbers and potato chips on the bottom of the plate, then put mangoes and sweet potatoes wrapped in chili and tamarind powder, and then poured hot sauce and lemon juice on them.

A Mexican-style fruit tart was made.

Although this dish was a mixture of sweet and salty, and the spicy taste was quite hellish, it was still saved by Lao Wang's superb cooking skills.

At least Qi Yu ate it with relish. When he finished all the dishes, he burped and looked up to find Malu looking at him thoughtfully.

Qi Yu misunderstood something, and extended his hand generously, "Give it to me."

"What do you want?"

"My comic book, you are looking at me so eagerly, you want my autograph, right?"

Qi Yu wiped his mouth and said, "Your food is really delicious, well-deserved, although I still think it is a bit expensive."

"Ah, there is no rush for the autograph, Qi Yu teacher, are you full?"

Qi Yu patted his stomach, "Full, full, thank you for the hospitality."

"Are you satisfied with today's dishes?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

"Very good, then we should get to the point."

After the female editor left, Ma Lu had already locked the door of the restaurant. He winked at Ma Youyou, who then went to put down the curtains.

Qi Yu still looked unaware, "Business, what business?"

"About how you became a cartoonist."
