The one hundred and eighty-third round

readx;? >

Let's say that Jia Lian took the drawings and went to find a craftsman to build a bicycle for himself, and waited for 20 days to finally get it. Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info excited, so I want to ride it and try it immediately. Everyone helped to help, and Jia Lian finally stared at the car and rode up.

At first, Jia Lian was excited, but after riding less than a stone's throw away, he felt his whole body tremble up and down. I couldn't bear to pedal for a while, but I couldn't stand it, so I hurriedly stopped the car.

The craftsman hurriedly came over to ask, Jia Lian frowned and said, "On weekdays, I think it's okay to ride a horse or ride a carriage that is bumpy, why is this car so bumpy?"

The craftsman smiled and said, "The two wheels of this car are also made of wood, and this road is a bluestone road, so it is naturally bumpy." If it's a dirt road, it might be better, but after all, it's hard, and bumps are normal. ”

Jia Lian nodded, frowned, and looked at it carefully: "Is there a remedy?" After all, how this road can only be known after walking. I thought the road was pretty good, but I didn't expect it to be like this, and it would be even more bumpy if it was anything else. ”

The craftsman pondered for a moment before he said, "It is better to make a cushion out of leather in this seat, and use rags and cotton wool thicker in it, or perhaps reduce it later." ”

Jia Lian nodded and said, "It's better to give it a try." The craftsman nodded in response, and then remembered something and hurriedly said: "It turns out that there are some iron tension springs placed under the saddle in this picture, but I am good at carpentry, this iron is not good, that thing still needs to find a good blacksmith to forge, if it is installed, maybe it can be less bumpy." ”

When Jia Lian heard this, he hurriedly said: "Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter earlier?" The craftsman was embarrassed: "Because you are in too much of a hurry, young master, I have removed some small parts, but there is still no major change in the whole." ”

Jia Lian was very helpless when he heard this, and sighed: "That's my fault." You slowly tell me what you have changed. Naturally, the craftsman didn't dare to hide it anymore, so he pointed to a few more places in the car. Jia Lian was patient this time, and listened much more seriously. After taking the craftsman to speak, Jia Lian said: "This time, you can make another car with me, but these places must be made according to the original pattern." In addition, the cushion in the seat area is also added this time. The craftsman listened, but his face was sad.

Jia Lian saw it and asked, "What other questions?" The craftsman rubbed his hands and said: "Young Master, the five taels of silver you left last time used three taels and eight dollars, and now if you change it on this original car, it is estimated that it is enough, if you make another one, it is not enough, not to mention that there are many things added, such as the tension spring, I have to find a blacksmith with good craftsmanship......"

Jia Lian smiled: "When you ask for money, you are positive. I'm not going to believe you, but I, the money-spent, have to make a clear mind, right?"

The craftsman nodded hurriedly and said, "The young master naturally said yes." I chose the best nanmu for this car, and the wheels of this frame are also good elm, and you see the hardness of this pattern. ”

Jia Lian nodded, took out another ingot of silver from the money bag, pinched the silver and shook it in front of the craftsman's eyes, and said, "This is still five taels, plus the remaining silver money before, you can do it for me in a different way." I don't use nanmu for this beam, you just choose cheap and strong wood to make it. Strive to make a car that costs no more than two taels. If so, the rest of the money will be given to you. If it is exceeded, it will be less rewarded, but the total price cannot exceed three taels. Don't change things like you did last time. You remember that this is one of them. ”

The craftsman nodded again and again, Jia Lian waved his hand and said, "Second, this car is too heavy and too hard to pedal, you want to think about it to see if you can reduce the weight." ”

When the craftsman heard this, Jia Lian said: "Third, I remember that the wheels will be wrapped in cloth and hemp rope when the carriage is bumpy, although it has some effect, it is still inconvenient. Why don't you think about any other way? ”

The craftsman naturally responded again, Jia Lian threw the ingot of silver in his hand into the air, and the craftsman hurriedly took it, put it in his arms, and asked Jia Lian with a smile: "What else does the young master command?"

Jia Lian thought for a while and said, "It's not for the time being, but there is another thing, I remember that there is a three-wheeled bicycle suitable for children in that book, so it is better for you to make that one for me first." Be careful. Today I have the drawings sent to you. What can you do in 10 days?"

The craftsman thought for a moment and said, "I probably have the impression that ten days should be okay." Jia Lian was overjoyed when he heard this, and then took out a silver coin of two taels and threw it to the craftsman, which was the silver coin of the car. The craftsman naturally took the money and respectfully sent Jia Lian out.

On the way back, Xing'er, who followed Jia Lian, said on the side: "The young master is really majestic in riding that car today." Jia Lian smiled: "You are also a flamboyant tongue, I know what this car looks like just now, twisting around, where does the majesty come from?"

Xing'er smiled: "Xing'er just looks majestic. The car with two wheels side by side, the small ones feel unstable when they look at it, where do they still have the courage to try, in the end, they are amazing. ”

Jia Lian smiled evilly: "This courage is also slowly cultivated, since this is the case, leave a chance for you, next time you come to test ride." When Xing'er heard this, she immediately made a bitter face, and hurriedly begged, but Jia Lian ignored him and rushed to the house with a smile.

Because he rode on the car today, Jia Lian naturally wanted to talk to Jia's mother, and hurriedly came to find Jia's mother when he returned home. Shi Fei'er was also a little curious when she saw her dusty appearance, so she hurriedly let the maid serve tea and sent everyone to listen to her details. Jia Lian told Jia's mother about going to ride a bicycle today. Shi Fei'er really didn't expect Jia Lian to be so concerned about this matter, and he actually made one in twenty days, although according to his words, the car was a bit bumpy, but being able to ride it had already surprised Shi Fei'er a little. You must know that the miniature version of the car you gave Jia Lian tossed back and forth for half a year. Of course, there were several interruptions due to material problems.

Hearing Jia Lian complaining that the car was bumpy, Shi Fei'er also smiled bitterly. After all, this is not the present world, where can we find rubber to make tires? You must know that rubber entered China very late, although after the introduction, it was widely planted in Hainan, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places, if you want to come now, then rubber should still grow freely in South America and has never gone out.

Moreover, even if there is a rubber tree in front of him now, he may not be able to recognize it, let alone how to tap rubber, and how to make tires from the cut natural rubber. There are so many things I don't know about this. Perhaps this is the regret of the traverser, even if you know that there are better things, but because of the limitations of your own knowledge and the environment, you can't achieve it anyway, and you can't copy the good things of the world.

Shi Fei'er didn't know how to explain the truth to Jia Lian. Besides, even if it was explained, where could Jia Lian find rubber? Therefore, there were some materials in the book, and Shi Fei'er also chose this side as an alternative material based on the knowledge he knew.

"Don't you know, old lady, that the bike is fun to ride, but it's a little hard to get around. Besides, it's too bumpy, and the bluestone road is just a stone's throw away, and I feel like I'm about to shake away. I didn't expect it to be more bumpy than a carriage. Jia Lian still couldn't hide his excitement, and told Jia's mother everything about today's events one by one.

"The road is not good, so it is naturally bumpy. Shi Fei'er comforted herself, she really couldn't think of any good way at the moment, otherwise she would have drawn it in the book early in the morning. "It's better to make a thick cushion, maybe it can be better. ”

Jia Lian nodded, "The craftsman who worked today also said the same. I've asked him to make another one and see if it can be improved. ”

"Why do you want to make another one? Even if it's already done, wouldn't it be convenient to modify the original one?"

In this way, there is a comparison, and you can know whether it is good or bad at a try. Second, the cost of this car is too high, if it is all at this price, who will I sell it to?" Jia Lian said slowly.

Shi Fei'er was stunned for a moment: "Don't you already have a plan, who are you going to sell this object to?" Shi Fei'er naturally knew in her heart that Jia Lian would definitely find a way to promote the bicycle in the future, but according to her own conjecture, this thing Jia Lian might just be recommended as a rare object among the gentlemen. Naturally, if it is in this circle, the more ornate and expensive the material, the better. But listening to what Jia Lian meant, according to the current production cost, the cost is too high to sell, does he have other plans?

"Don't hide it from the old lady, I do have a plan. Jia Lian took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I have also carefully thought about this thing, if it is done by the prince and grandson, it should be taken a less, noble and gorgeous route, and everyone is not short of one hundred and eighty taels of silver, so it is naturally possible." However, this object is different from Fangshu, firstly, Fangshu is a piece that can be used and consumed every day, and secondly, Fangshu can also attract people to buy it if it changes its appearance. But this car doesn't have either of these things. Therefore, if you only buy with Wang Sun Gongzi, then this business is getting smaller and smaller. ”

Shi Fei'er had to admit that Jia Lian's words were right. "And who do you want to sell to?"

"Naturally, it's a post station!" Jia Lian said: "There are many big post stations in my country, although now this horse is still the main force, and it is true that this thing is not as fast as a horse, but this thing is a little better than a horse, that is, it does not need forage, and it is less to take care of." If the bumps can be solved, then it is much easier to use this cart to get closer than horses. ”

Jia Lian's words made Shi Fei'er surprised and delighted, she didn't expect this use, so she naturally praised Jia Lian even more. I can't wait to conjure up a rubber tire to solve this urgent need.

"But that's what I'm thinking about now. Jia Lian suddenly said: "Thinking that the carriage has been more than a thousand years now, it is still bumpy, and I am afraid that this matter is difficult to solve." Jia Lian sighed again.

Shi Fei'er calmed down slightly, thought for a while, and said, "This wood is a hard object, and it is naturally bumpy when it collides with the ground. If the wheel had been a little more flexible, it might have been much better. Shi Fei'er was about to continue, when she heard a maid report that the eldest master was coming. Shi Fei'er stopped talking and asked Jia Yu to come into the house.

After Jia Yu entered the house and saluted Jia's mother first, he glared at Jia Lian, who was standing on the side, and said, "I haven't seen you study hard these days, and I don't know where to go crazy." ”

Jia Lian was reprimanded by Jia Yu, and immediately looked at Jia's mother as if asking for help. Shi Fei'er said: "Don't blame him, I've been very bored these days, and everyone is busy, so it's rare that Lian'er has the heart to come over and talk to me." Shi Fei'er paused and said, "Presumably you are free today, then you will take Lian'er's errand." ”

After hearing this, Jia Yu gave up and said: "Is the old lady worried about Hu'er's affairs, I just got the letter today, Hu'er and they are about to return to Beijing, and they will be able to return home in less than three days." ”
