In short, the cheap daddy just patted his ass and left.

Su Ding was happy to be quiet.

Anyway, he is not a real 'confidant', and he is not worried about the so-called life and death issues.

Now that there is one less 'relative' in the family, I can live more comfortably.

After reading the letter, the old man scolded and went back to the house.

I didn't say yes or disagree about the apprenticeship.

Su Ding had the right to be an old man and admit himself as an apprentice.

As soon as the old man went back, Su Guangguang and Han Daniu, who were hiding outside and picking up the roots of the wall, ran in with a smile.

A mouthful of a junior brother is called a pro.

If it is calculated according to the entry time, Su Ding should be a junior brother.

But let him call the two hairy boys, what are you kidding?

So Su Ding even coaxed and deceived, and even promised to introduce his daughter-in-law to Su Guangguang in the future, which confirmed the identity of the second senior brother.

The senior sister is naturally Su Yiyi.

Second senior brother?

I don't know why, but it feels like I'm still at a loss.

......

Su Ding was not in a hurry to stay at the old man's place.

Before Su Ergou left, he threw the family business to Su Ding.

Although the customized type of seal cannot be made, there is a small factory in the backyard of the house that can produce ordinary wheel axles.

In order to make up for the loss of the worship demon lord, Su Ergou took ordinary orders.

According to his calculations, Ergou Workshop still owes at least a thousand axles of different specifications.

Su Ergou can go, but Su Ding can't get out.

If you want to leave the town, you first need to get a pass from the government.

The pass can only be obtained by two of the 'ten elders' with the highest prestige elected by the townspeople.

Lao Xuanlang is one of the 'ten elders' in the town.

Su Ergou can naturally get a pass book, but Su Ding's words are a little difficult.

After all, the world outside the walls is not safe, and it would be devastating to bring unclean things back to town.

In addition to the passbook, another difficulty is how to get out of town.

Traveling alone is a complete death for civilians.

Every day, several caravans of different workshops travel around the town, and civilians can choose to follow them.

Of course, no one can guarantee safety, and don't expect anyone to help you if something goes wrong outside.

Another one spent money to join the convoy of the richest man in the town, Wang Fugui.

This adult is the only wealthy man in the town who has a steam locomotive transport team, and he sends parts to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau every three days.

The guards of the steam convoy are armed, and the two beasts can usually be defeated with a single shot.

And many people say that the rich and noble family also has a mysterious spiritual doorman, who has quite a miraculous means.

These are all the news that Su Ding got from chatting with people outside in the past two days.

The more closed the environment, the more deserving of upper-level figures like Wang Fugui are.

Because their invisible power here is often beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and can even decide life and death with a single word.

Su Ding didn't want to offend this kind of land snake for some reason.

Just as he was thinking, Su Ding suddenly saw the crowd in front of him scattering to both sides.

An extremely shrill whistle accompanied by billowing smoke came across most of the street.

Su Ding looked at it, it was really a coincidence.

In front of it happened to be Wang Fugui's convoy.

This was the first time Su Ding had seen a steam locomotive.

It is said that the car is actually more like a locomotive, and the tall and large locomotive is not wrapped in iron sheets.

Therefore, all kinds of parts with tight bite and exquisite design inside are exposed to the eyes of outsiders.

Two rows of triple brass exhaust pipes meander around the locomotive's perimeter, belching black smoke while puffing out white steam and making a constant thumping sound.

Smoke and steam danced together, intertwining and spreading in all directions.

Pedestrians on the side of the road must not lower their hats and wear dust masks to avoid the smoke.

Inside the steam locomotive, a large number of gears are engaged and rotated, two large bearings are constantly accelerating and accelerating, and the speed of the gears on the bare chassis is so fast that it creates a phantom, and if you look closely, you can also find that the huge steam cylinders built into it are etched with intricate carvings.

This is probably the core of the steam locomotive.

Su Ding sighed.

This black technology is really a big deal.

The first steam locomotive had three escorts on it.

They held in their hands a strangely shaped weapon of a caliber that was so large that it did not resemble a firearm.

The Steambird, a weapon that can be retained by civilians who are recognized by the government.

The Steam Bird had a hose attached to the steam pack behind the guard, and Su Ding had carried it on his back when he first saw Cheap Daddy.

"Why did Master Wang's convoy delay its departure for two days? Many small workshops that wanted to follow the convoy were in a hurry. ”

"I heard that the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau raised this year's production capacity standard, and the factory of the rich family produced continuously for more than a week, and then barely made up the list. Many workshops have received a notice from Mr. Wang that they must increase production by 20% by the end of the year. ”

"Oh, why? ”

"Who knows about the big guys. ”

From time to time, there are all kinds of discussions, true and false.

Su Ding looked around, and it took almost an hour to walk home.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a middle-aged man enter an ox cart.

There was a coachman sitting outside the ox cart, and he didn't even roll his eyelids when he saw Su Ding.

Su Ding pretended not to see it and was about to go around the house and enter the house.

At this time, the voice of the middle-aged man came from the ox cart.

"Are you Su Ding?

Su Ding smiled, he thought that the person inside was going to pretend to be a critic in the end, but he didn't speak.

Su Ding turned around and replied: "Father has been out of town recently, and it will probably take some days to come back." ”

In the letter, Su Ergou asked Su Ding not to tell him about his return to Beijing, probably because he didn't want to reveal his identity.

The small window next to the canopy opened a crack, and the middle-aged man who covered his nose with a handkerchief said coldly: "He just went to deliver a Seiko-grade wheel axle in the morning, and now he is leaving?"

Su Ding was helpless, and he also wanted to know why.

"If he's not there, you'll be responsible for the order from Ergou Workshop. Mr. Wang asked each workshop to increase its output by 20% at the end of the month. In addition, it is necessary to order a batch of ordinary grade 'gray fog' axles and a Seiko grade 'gray fog' axle. A week later, it will be sent to the factory. After speaking, the middle-aged man closed the curtain with great disgust.

"No, my father is not here, and our workshop can't produce now. ”

Su Ding is still having a headache about how to get the 1,000 orders, and now it's an increase in production and a 'gray fog' wheel axle.

"How to produce is your business, and if you can't complete the target when the time comes, you have to explain it to Master Wang. ”

After speaking, the ox cart left arrogantly.

Su Ding: "......"

This is considered a forced sale to buy money, right?

If you report to the official, can you convict him of a crime of evil forces?

Su Ding entered the house and found that the cheap old lady wearing a one-piece overalls was also in the house.

You don't have to think about it to know who it is when she dresses up like this, Su San is back.

"Good afternoon, didn't you eat at noon? Su Ding greeted warmly.

Compared with Su Yiyi and Su Qing, he still prefers Su San's character.

After all, the two also had the experience of suffering together for one night.

Su San, who had his back to Su Ding, didn't speak, lowering his head and fiddling with the balls of a wheel axle.

Su Ding came over strangely, and just happened to see a red handprint on Su San's face.

Su Ding's face turned cold: "What did that person do just now?"
