Chapter 67

The carriage of the government office is very old, and there are even traces of termite devouring in some places.

And now the axle is broken, and the spokes are also a little damaged and misaligned, obviously unusable, and could have been repaired on the site of the original car.

However, since Li Gang is not in a hurry, Chen Zheng can also use one night to make a new car.

Chen Zheng is going to do it step by step, planning to make a carriage first, also known as a carriage.

Comfort has always been an aspect that Chen Zheng attaches more importance to, and after this carriage is finished, it looks like a small room.

For the sake of beauty and convenience, Chen Zheng also added railings and wooden planks on both sides of the carriage, so that when getting on and off the train, he could help it.

Next is the running part of the carriage – the wheels and axles.

Chen Zheng first found a round piece of wood, divided into two, the same size, height, and diameter, and then drilled a through hole of the same size, which was used to make a hub, which was used to fix the axle.

The outer frame of the wheel is called a rim, and such a large round wheel is really not easy to make.

Chen Zheng adopts the method of segmented jointing, each rim is divided into five arcs, each arc with a tenon and a hole, after the end is connected, just to form a circle.

On each arc, drill two holes, insert two spokes, connect with the hub, and one wheel is done.

Next is the axle, to put it bluntly, it is a beam, bearing the car, the two ends pass through the hub, put on the wheel, and expose the end, put on the iron axle head, and then fix the axle head with a wooden pin to prevent the wheel from falling off.

In this way, the basic structure of the carriage is almost complete.

Then there are some driving accessories, such as wheels and yokes.

The rear end of the wheel is directly attached to the axle, and then a curved beam is bolted to the front end, which is the yoke, and the main function is to get stuck on the horse's neck.

Chen Zheng carefully checked it and found that there was no problem, and then used a grinding stone to polish the car mountain again to remove the burrs.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for completing the production of a delicate carriage, carpentry experience +1024!"

Carriage in exquisite condition: +17 for a thousand miles a day, +16 for the reins of the horse, +18 for walking on the ground.

Chen Zheng nodded, this letter seems a little strange, doesn't this carriage need a coachman?

It doesn't matter, it's not sitting by yourself anyway.

Looking at the sky, the east was already white, and Chen Zheng couldn't help but sigh a little, what is this picture!

Since it's almost dawn, Chen Zheng doesn't plan to go back, going back at this point will disturb the lady's rest.

Thinking of Yue Xiaorong, Chen Zheng had some thoughts in his heart, now when the two of them sleep at night, they are no longer limited to hooking their fingers and holding hands, and some slightly shy movements can also be done.

After a night's work, Chen Zheng was already very tired, and after thinking about it for a long time, he fell asleep in a daze.

The rooster dawned, the sun rose in the east, and the new day was not late because of Chen Zheng's deep sleep.

"Master Chen! Master Chen! ”

The shouts of the scribes came from the government office, which woke Chen Zheng from his sleep.

Rubbing his eyes, standing up and stretching, Chen was about to walk out.

It's just that when he arrived at the door, Chen Zheng suddenly realized that something was wrong, so he stopped, took a few deep breaths, and then pushed the door out.

There's no way, Chen Zheng is young and vigorous, so he can't go out to meet people with a pillar of optimus.

When he came to the courtyard, Chen Zheng saw the scribe looking at the carriage he had built, so he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Oh, Master Chen, your wife has brought the food, and it's in the front yard." The scribe replied.

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Thank you, please go and inform the county magistrate, the carriage has been built, and you can travel with the horse." ”

The scribe agreed, and Chen Zheng went to the front yard to find Yue Xiaorong.

"Lady, why are you here?" Chen Zheng saw Yue Xiaorong sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard of the government office.

Yue Xiaorong smiled and said, "Xianggong didn't return all night, and I didn't have breakfast if I wanted to come, so I got up early and boiled some porridge to bring it to you." ”

"The lady is so good to me!" Chen Zheng took the porridge.

It's just that before Chen Zheng took a sip, Li Shuang's voice came from outside.

"Brother Chen, is the carriage ready?" Li Shuang ran in excitedly, "Hungry, I brought you a fire with minced meat." ”

After Li Shuang came over, he saw Yue Xiaorong at a glance, Li Shuang was a little embarrassed, and said, "It turns out that Brother Chen is accompanied by a beautiful woman, but I am redundant." ”

Chen Zheng laughed and said, "What Brother Li said, I like the meat stuffing the most." ”

After taking the fire brought by Li Shuang, Chen Zheng saw that there were exactly two of them, so he asked Yue Xiaorong: "Lady, have you had breakfast?" ”

Yue Xiaorong shook her head and said, "After cooking the porridge, I brought it with me, and I was going to go back and eat it again." ”

"It's just not necessary, you see that there are two meat burns, one for you and one for me." Chen Zhengdao handed one of the meat burns to Yue Xiaorong.

This meat fire was obviously freshly baked, and it was still hot, Yue Xiaorong blew lightly twice, and then bit down.

And Chen Zheng was even more polite, biting off most of it, and then eating it with gruel, Li Shuang next to him swallowed his saliva.

"Brother Li, why do you look at me like this?"

Chen Zheng felt that Li Shuang's eyes were not quite right, looking at himself, how could he still have a feeling of resentment?

"I'm one of the fires, and I haven't eaten." Li Shuang said with some embarrassment.

At the same time, Li Shuang's stomach rumbled twice in cooperation, and the atmosphere at the scene was a little embarrassing for a while.

Especially Yue Xiaorong, looking at the fire that she had just bitten into, she didn't eat it, and she didn't eat it.

Chen Zheng hurriedly played a round and said to Li Shuang: "I'm half pulling the fire, if you don't dislike it, you can eat it." ”

"I don't dislike it, but you're busy at night, you must be hungry, so you should eat." Li Shuang said.

Chen Zheng ate the rest of the fire in two mouthfuls, then drank the porridge in the bowl, pulled Li Shuang up, and said, "I'll take Brother Li to see the carriage." ”

Pulling Li Shuang away was to avoid the embarrassment of his wife, Yue Xiaorong also understood Chen Zheng's purpose, hurriedly finished the fire, took a look at the courtyard, and turned to leave.

"Ouch, this carriage is so beautiful!" Li Shuang praised, "It's better than Qin Ning's caravan." ”

Chen Zheng said proudly: "I spent one night making this, can it be good?" ”

The two touted each other, and the county commander Li Gang also rushed over.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the carriage, he asked the coachman to put on his horse and pull him out into the street.

Li Gang hugged Chen Zhengyi and said: "The official business is urgent, and after the county comes back, I will thank you!" ”

"Thanksgiving is small, official business is big, adults don't need to worry." Chen Zheng arrived.

Li Gang also had no ink, boarded the carriage, and shouted to the coachman: "Hair! ”

The coachman flicked his whip in his hand, and the carriage whizzed away, kicking up a puff of dust.

Li Shuang looked at the vanishing carriage and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Chen, the speed of your carriage is a bit fast!" ”
