Chapter 339: Tires
Just thinking about the eldest brother, Chen Wenjun came back, and the next person came to Chen Wenhui to report to Meizhen, and Meizhen hurriedly took the maids back to her yard. Chen Wenhui felt that there was nothing to do, and also thought that after yesterday's incident, the sister-in-law and eldest brother would definitely need to spend time alone, so Chen Wenhui took the maids to the Heigetang of the Hei family to find Zhou Maocai to see how his family's farm tools were built?
After a few days like this, it was soon time for the Chen Wenhui brothers and sisters to set off for Feixia City with the people from the Black Knife Hall. In the morning, Chen Wenjun first sent Meizhen away. Meizhen took half of the guards, as well as the disciples of the Black Knife Hall to escort her, and also took the talents of the Black Family's various halls, as well as the purchased goods, and slowly set off to Xinguang City. These people from the Black Knife Hall not only had to escort them to Shin Kong City, but also brought back to Black Iron City the hundreds of widows that Mei Zhen had given them after arriving in Shin Kong City.
After sending Meizhen away, Chen Wenjun said goodbye to Ding Chuan, and Ding Chuan was already busy, because in the past few days, he and Chen Wenjun had discussed with the chiefs of various indigenous peoples, and Xinguang City and Black Iron City would pay for it, and various indigenous tribes would send people to start building the road from Black Iron City to Xinguang City.
Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenhui had already gotten into Chen Wenhui's carriage and slowly went to Feixia Port in the south under the leadership of the people from the Black Knife Hall.
However, there was another person with them, Zhou Maocai, the hall master of Heigetang, who was now very interested in physics and chemistry. So I made an excuse to inspect the shipyard of their Heigetang in Feixia Harbor, so I went with them. In fact, Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun both understood that this Zhou Maocai was to take the opportunity to ask Chen Wenhui about physics and chemistry.
Chen Wenhui deeply felt that she had lost money, so she blackmailed Zhou Maocai a lot of things, which was regarded as tuition.
The next day, Chen Wenhui just sat in the carriage and was about to take a nap, because it was too hard to travel yesterday, and although she was in the carriage, it was still very hard. Chen Wenhui began to miss the planes, high-speed rail, and cars in her previous life.
In this bad thought, Zhou Maocai suddenly pulled Chen Wenjun into the carriage. Although Zhou Maocai is thirsty for study. But he still knows that there is a difference between men and women, although Wen Hui is young, he is embarrassed to stay alone in Chen Wenhui's carriage, so he has to pull Chen Wenjun every time.
For this reason, Chen Wenjun was also very helpless. At this moment, Zhou Maocai said to Wen Hui with excitement on his face: "Miss Chen, I felt strange when I made your carriage yesterday, your carriage is not the same as ordinary carriages?" ”
Chen Wenhui glanced at him and said, "Why is it different?" Isn't it Marat's? Could it be that the dog pulled it? ”
Zhou Maocai said seriously: "I saw in the books of my ancestors that in the far north, there are dog-pulled carts. ”
Chen Wenhui was very happy when she saw that the other party was successfully taken by herself: "I know, the one you said is called a sled." Because in the far north, it is covered with snow all year round, and horse-drawn carriages cannot move forward in the snow. Only by making a sleigh and letting the dog pull it can you travel in the snow. But that might be faster than our carriage. ”
Zhou Maocai looked at it with admiration: "Miss Chen is really knowledgeable, she even knows this, and I also carefully studied the picture of the sleigh left by the ancestors." I also made one out, but there is no place to use it here, and it has never snowed on Yizhou Island. I haven't seen snow in those stronghold cities in Nanyang. ”
Chen Wenhui listened and said with interest: "You are very good, you can make a sled, why don't you give it to me, I can take it back to Jiangnan and go out to play when it snows." ”
Zhou Maocai hurriedly said, "Okay." In Black Iron City, I'll give it to you when we get back. ”
Chen Wenhui turned to Qiu Bi who was waiting and said, "Qiu Bi, you write it down quickly, Hall Master Zhou will also give me a sleigh." You remember asking Ben for it when you got back. He's promised a lot of things, don't forget them. ”
Qiu Bi immediately took out a small notebook from her side. Got it in the picture. Chen Wenjun looked at the small book and saw a bunch of things densely memorized, such as new-style bamboo dragonflies and big kites. Beautiful kites, wooden harriers, painted windmills and more. These are all things that Chen Wenhui knocked on Zhou Maocai yesterday.
Chen Wenjun said: "I am also curious about the things that can run fast in the snow, maybe they can be used in our clan land, we have a lot of snow there." ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Hall Master Zhou, you have to give me two, one for me and one for my brother." ”
Zhou Maocai said: "Okay, I have one there now, and I will give it to City Lord Chen, as for Miss Chen, I will make another one myself, make a colorful one, and then ask the people of the Calligraphy and Painting Hall to put a pattern on it." ”
Chen Wenhui's eyes lit up and said, "Okay, okay, this is a good idea, you must do it quickly when you go back." Qiu Bi made another note. ”
Qiu Bi hurriedly agreed.
Zhou Maocai smiled, and suddenly remembered the purpose of his coming, hey, since yesterday, as long as he asks Chen Wenhui questions, he will be knocked out, not to mention, he will be led off the topic, forget his own problems, it seems that he is still not cautious enough.
Zhou Maocai hurriedly asked, "Miss Chen, your carriage seems to be more comfortable than ordinary carriages?" And I took a closer look in the morning because your carriage has a few rings of fine iron on it, what is this? ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "This time you reacted quickly, much stronger than yesterday." Let me tell you, this thing is a spring that I asked craftsmen to make when I was in Shanghai. This spring is a good thing, and when it is installed in the carriage, it can make the carriage less oscillating. It's just that my springs are not good enough, if the craftsman's skills are better, not iron, but steel, it will be better. Also, the wheels of this carriage are still wooden wheels, and there is nothing wrapped around them, and if they can be wrapped around tires, it will not be bumpy at all. By the way, there must be a good road, and the road we are taking now cannot reflect the merits of my carriage. ”
Zhou Maocai hurriedly said: "We have stainless steel, you tell me how to make the spring, I can make the spring of stainless steel." Wouldn't your carriage be better then? Also, what are the tires you are talking about, and what are you telling me to make them, I must think of a research out, so that it will be convenient for you to travel again. ”
Chen Wenhui was moved when she heard this, but she didn't forget it, Zhou Maocai and Zhou Maocai's Heigetang have countless skilled craftsmen, and he should tell him this, so maybe he can really make a comfortable carriage, then he doesn't have to work so hard in this era.
Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui was about to sue Zhou Maocai, when she suddenly remembered something and said: "Oh, I almost fell for you, why should I sue you?" I sued you, you are helping me build a good carriage, but you have learned this technique, you can not make money, me, I just have one more carriage, and I have lost a lot. ”
Zhou Maocai was stunned, how can this be related to making money? It's no wonder that Zhou Maocai can't figure it out, because he has never been engaged in business, in the past, Heigetang made things, and then Jin Mingpu sold them, and Zhou Maocai didn't know how to buy and sell.
Chen Wenhui thought about it and said: "Qiu Bi, go get the pen and paper, I will sign a contract with Master Zhou Tang, and the two of us will set up a carriage shop, specializing in the production of comfortable carriages, and hand them over to Jinming Shop to sell. But I will divide fifty percent of the net profits. ”
Although Zhou Maocai didn't know how to do business, he still felt that Chen Wenhui wanted a lot, frowned and said: "But I don't understand this, these are all managed by Jin Mingpu, what should I do if Tang Guanghui is not here at this time?" ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it and said: "Okay, in this way, I only need 30%, so how about you promise not to lose money, sign or not?" ”
Sancheng is still acceptable, Zhou Mao nodded hurriedly. The key is to learn technology, which is much more important than silver, so Zhou Maocai has no opinion.
As soon as the contract was signed, Chen Wenhui picked up a pen and paper while drawing, and explained at the same time, telling Zhou Maocai about the method of making springs and tires. ”
Zhou Maocai listened very carefully, and waited for Chen Wenhui to finish speaking before saying: "The rubber you said can be used to make tires." This thing seems to be produced in a city in the South Seas, and I still have a lot of stock in my warehouse, I didn't know what it was doing before, so I threw it away in vain, it turned out to be used for this purpose, it was really a tyrannical thing. I'll study it later, and I'll be able to make one when I go back. ”
As he spoke, he took the manuscript written by Wen Hui, got out of the carriage, and studied it while walking alone.
Waiting for Zhou Mao to leave, Chen Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief, she could finally be clean for a while. Chen Wenjun is about to leave. Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered what she was thinking a few days ago, so she stopped her brother and said, "Big brother, go slowly, I have something to ask." ”
When Chen Wenjun heard this, he turned around and sat down again, and asked gently, "What's the matter?" ”
In fact, Chen Wenjun was beating a drum in his heart, he had just made a mistake a few days ago, in addition to discussing road construction with Ding Chuan in those days, he was spending all his time comforting Wan Meizhen, and he didn't care about admitting his mistake to his sister, shouldn't his sister take this opportunity to find fault with him? Thinking of this, Chen Wenjun once again regretted it, it was really a mistake to drink and make a mistake, and he must take it as a warning in the future.
How do you know that Chen Wenhui asked slowly: "Big brother, you are older than me and know more than me." When we came to Anseong from the capital, you looked like you were thirteen years old, didn't you? I wondered why I was so weak when I was a child, and why didn't my mother add me a brother or sister until now? ”
Where could Chen Wenjun have thought that his sister was asking this question, his face couldn't help but sink, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes and said: "I know this, only you don't know in our family, and your second brother also knows." This qiē is all because of one person. ”
Chen Wenhui understood as soon as she heard it, what she guessed before was right, and it really had an inside story: "Who is it?" ”
