Seeing the hesitation in Uncle Lizheng's heart, Shumin continued, "During the time I was out, I came into contact with the western countryside, and they were all very much in favor of the idea of exchanging beans for food with us. The county magistrate also agreed, but our Baili Village may not be able to meet the food needs of the entire western region, so Uncle Lizheng, I suggest that you can try to contact other villages and handle this matter together. If it is done well, Brother Zhengmin's face will shine, and the county magistrate will be regarded as a merit. ”

"It's a good idea, but at this time, I still have to discuss it with Zhengmin and the other villages to see if we can come up with a charter, and it is best that we can go to the county magistrate with the Lizheng people in the west, talk to each other in person, and sign an agreement, so that nothing goes wrong." Li Zheng nodded and said.

Everyone in the village agreed.

When the meeting ended, Li Zheng smiled, found an ox cart and went into the city happily, he wanted to find Zhengmin, and Zhengmin had to find the county magistrate to make an idea about this matter.

The credit is better left to the son to receive.

After the meeting, Shumin went to the tofu workshop. Today's tofu workshop can produce more than 100 tofu every day, but the supply is still in short supply, but the ox carts that can be pulled in the village are limited, and there is a faint feeling that they can't afford it.

"Uncle Niu, this is your first trip. An aunt asked.

"Alas, it's the third time today, and you see my cattle have been tired and thin lately. After the beginning of spring, it will still plow the ground!" Uncle Niu touched the cow's head and said distressedly.

"No way, you see there's still so much tofu to be shipped into the city. Otherwise, the restaurant will be out of stock. You and the old cow will work harder?" said the woman.

"Well, that's all there is to it. Uncle Niu looked at the ox cart full of tofu, and said to the old cow distressedly, "Let's go, man." Let's work harder. ”

The woman sighed, looked at the old cow with pity, and prepared to go back to the workshop. When she saw Shumin, she hurriedly took the initiative to say hello and said, "Hui'er Niang, are you here?"

Shumin nodded at her and said, "Is Auntie there?"

"It's here, it's inside. "Zhengxing's daughter-in-law went back to her parents' house, and her aunt came over every day to supervise the work. Sometimes I help out.

At this time, she was ordering tofu heartily. Let's talk to everyone again. Seeing Shu Min coming, he handed over the work at hand to others and greeted him himself.

"Hui'er Niang, are you here? Shumin will be called to discuss together. She's the only woman in the village who can go to a meeting!

"It's all on. It's not a big deal, are there a lot of orders in the workshop now?" Shumin asked.

"No, it's sad that there are more orders in this place!" said the uncle.

"Is there too few ox carts?" Shumin asked.

"You know everything?" said the uncle, a little surprised. "We went to Bi's village to borrow it, but they didn't borrow it, saying that it was spring after the New Year, and the cattle had to be raised at home. ”

"I also know that this is very difficult, but it will hurt the cattle in our village. Uncle Niang paused and said.

"Can't you let the restaurant come by itself? "That's what Drunken Wind House used to do.

The aunt shook her head and said, "The big restaurants are all pulled by themselves, but how can the small restaurants in the town have ox carts? If we do, they will decide from someone else. ”

Other villages now also sell tofu, but they are not as famous as Baili Village, and they are not as large as Baili Village.

"I'd like to figure it out. "Shumin knows this, and he will definitely not stand idly by. The cattle in the village must also be raised, otherwise after the beginning of spring, there will be no oxen to plow the land in the village.

"Do you have a way?" asked the lady in surprise.

"I haven't thought about it yet. Go back and think about it. Shumin replied, smiling.

"Okay, then you'll have to think of a good way to get out. Uncle Niang also smiled, she felt that if Shu Min thought about it, she would definitely be able to come up with a good way.

Shumin does have a way, and that is to bicycle!

She had thought about building a bicycle in ancient times, but she never had time to get it. This time, she plans to design a three-wheeled bicycle that can pull goods, as long as she pays attention to the combination of pulleys and gears, she can cancel out a large part of the force. In this way, it will be easier for people to pull up.

When she got home, she locked herself in her room and carefully drew the design.

Chunquan has been a little entangled in the past two days, since that incident, Qiuhua has come to him many times, but he has avoided it.

Although he didn't see her, he couldn't ignore her feelings, not to mention that she was still pregnant with a child. So when Shumin set up a housewarming drink, he hid out.

I said that helping her build the house was the end of it. But why is my heart always so impetuous and restless? I have suddenly alienated her, will she be lost and sad?

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he felt that he needed to hint at Shumin, or find an excuse that he would be away for a while.

In a daze, he came to the Min Courtyard, and after repeated hesitation, he stepped into the Min Courtyard.

"Uncle, are you here?" Liu Er was basking in the sun under the eaves and making clothes. Despite her young age, her needlework skills were not much better than those of Xiao Li, so Shumin gave her the glorious task of making clothes, and the most important thing was to let her make a few sets of clothes for herself and her brother.

"Where's your aunt?" asked Chunquan.

"She's upstairs! I told her to come down. Liu Er had heard some things about them in the village, and knew that he and Shumin were not sisters and brothers as she had originally thought, so she instinctively felt the need to avoid them.

Before Chunquan could speak, Shumin had already heard it. She leaned out of the window and smiled downstairs, "Chunquan, you're so good." I was thinking about looking for you!"

After speaking, he leaned back, took the design draft, and plopped downstairs.

Chunquan heard the voice, looked up and saw only a smiling face, and then heard the sound of Shumin going down the stairs, and his heart also jumped.

"How do I tell her?" he hesitated.

"Chunquan, come and see, this is what I designed. She shoved the manuscript paper into Chunquan's hand, staring at him with blazing eyes, waiting for his comment.

Chunquan spread out the manuscript paper, only to see a strange car painted on it, and he suddenly saw the key to helping Hui'er make a flowing horse: this is a car that can pull goods by manpower, and a magnified flowing horse!

He immediately became excited. After looking at the detailed parts design drawings carefully, my mind began to run wild.

"I can do this!" Chunquan replied affirmatively, his eyebrows and eyes could not hide the excitement.

"Great. Shumin was also very happy when he heard him say this. In ancient times, there was a person who could understand her own designs, and this made her feel very heartwarming.

"I'm going to look for a blacksmith in town now, this thing is a puller, it has to be strong. Chunquan said and ran out in a hurry.

As he ran, he suddenly became depressed: Didn't I go to her to finish it? Forget it, I'll help her build the car again, and when the car is finished, I'll tell her about the finished matter.

With this in mind, he let go and strode towards the town.

Halfway through the rush, he met Li Zheng who was back in the village, Li Zheng curiously stopped Chunquan and asked him why he was going, and Chunquan said what he was going to do.

After hearing this, Li Zheng immediately asked Chunquan to get into the car, turned the ox cart, and walked towards the town again.

"Can this thing really move?" is a little incredible, there is no beast to pull the cart, this cart can go, isn't this God?

"If you can move, as long as you sit on it and step on it, it can move. It's like Hui'er's flowing horse. "Although Li Zheng didn't understand why he could move, he had seen Hui'er's flowing horse. So I barely made up for it, and my heart was also excited. I can't wait to see it soon.

The blacksmith shop was in the east of the city, and although he couldn't understand Shumin's design, he slowly understood it under Chunquan's explanation. patted his chest and promised that he would be able to do it within seven days.

In order not to make a mistake, Chunquan found a place to live in the town in the past few days, after all, the blacksmith shop was also the first time to do this strange thing, and he had to come and watch it every day to feel at ease.

Fortunately, his master had a small courtyard in the town to settle down, and he just had to go and live there.

Although Li Zheng was also anxious, he still had a lot of things to deal with, so he had to return to the village in a hurry.

At night, before going to bed, he was still thinking about it, his brows furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong with you?

"Do you say there is a car in this world that can move?"

"Scared, what nonsense? How can a car move on its own. Unless it's a fairy's car. Uncle Niang didn't care, thinking that the old man was talking nonsense again.

"I saw the picture drawn by Hui'er Niang today, and Chunquan said that the car made according to the picture does not need to be a beast, and it can move by itself. "Li Zheng told Uncle Sù what he saw and heard today.

"Really?" As soon as she heard that Shu Min came up with it, Uncle Niang felt a little reliable.

"Hui'er Niang is so smart, she wants to get it. It's very different from before!" "Hui'er Niang used to be sad all day long, and she didn't like to chat with people, but she didn't expect to be a person with something hidden in her head. Uncle Niang thought to herself.

She also faintly looked forward to the car that could move on its own. (To be continued.) )
