Chapter 132: Entering the City (First Update, Asking for Support)

"Someone stole vegetables."

The sky will be clear, and when Shi Yiwen was still in his dream, he was woken up by the dog barking and the rooster in the Zhuangzi. Then there was the sound of gongs, and then there was the sound of shouting.

Even if you want to sleep, you can't sleep, and when you get dressed and arrive at the gate of the courtyard, you can still listen to the shrill sound of gongs.

"Young Master", "Owner"

As soon as he saw Shi Yiwen coming out, Zhuang Ding and the tenants who heard the news saluted one after another, and Zhao Si, who was carrying a long stick, hurriedly went over to report.

"Young master, Zhuang Ding, who patrols the village, just found that the cabbage in the field was uprooted and taken away by dozens of people!"

"It must be the nearby Zhuangzi who saw us making money and looked at us red, so he came to steal our ......"

"That's it, it's still stealing from the roots, I must want to plant the seeds of Chinese cabbage by myself......"

"Boss, according to me, we have to send someone to guard the ...... in the field."

…… Shi Yiwen, who hadn't fully woken up, heard this, yawned first, and then said.

"I'm going to do something big, okay, let's go back to sleep."

It's just stealing vegetables.

On the same day, when they were rushing to sell vegetables, Liu Yu brought a thick stack of paper and pasted a few words on the carts of each family - "Shitaizhuang Chinese cabbage".

This was, of course, Edwin's idea.

Since someone has stolen the Chinese cabbage by the root and wants to keep the seeds, then there will definitely be competitors next year, and the tenants in the village will definitely continue to grow cabbage next winter, so playing the reputation of "Shitaizhuang Chinese cabbage" as early as possible can always bring some brand advantages.

At the same time, the days of each family in Shitaizhuang became more and more relaxed because of the daily income of hundreds or even thousands of wen.

Although they could barely have enough to eat in the past, they could not compare with what they are now, and after selling vegetables, they would cut some meat and tear a few zhang of cloth when they came back to improve their lives and the lives of their families.

There is meat every day, everyone has new clothes, and the family has small savings. However, in just a few months, the living standards of the tenants in Shitaizhuang have reached a well-off level, not to mention the tenants in the nearby Zhuangzi, and even the families who live a little more solid are far inferior to them now.

Even the matchmakers who came to the Zhuangzi to talk about matchmaking have increased, not only the ordinary stick guys and the nearby Zhuangzi have set up a family affair, but even the original few men who are in their thirties and have no daughter-in-law will also set a family affair.

Such a day was unimaginable in the past.

Because of this, the people in the village are full of gratitude to the new owner, and if it weren't for him, they might still be living that kind of barely making ends meet.

On this day, after everyone in the village went out to sell vegetables, Shi Yiwen went to the house of Chen carpenter, he is a craftsman in the Zhuangzi, and also a slave in the village, unlike other people who sell vegetables to make money, he did not go out in his fifties, but continued to do carpentry work as in the past. When he entered the hospital, he was sawing wood.

"Carpenter Chen, are you ready to make something for me?"

"Young master, I just said that I would send you over, but I bothered you to come to the door, what a sin."

"Look at your politeness, it's all your own family, you don't need to be so polite."

After speaking, Shi Yiwen saw something placed against the wall next to the courtyard - a sleigh.

"Look, boss, according to the pattern you have drawn, a pole of wood 3 inches wide is used, and the front is 2 feet high, 4 feet wide, and 1 zhang long, and there is a wicker groove around it......"

Listening to his explanation, Shi Yiwen deliberately tried the weight when he helped him put the sleigh down, and it was about two hundred pounds, which was much lighter than the wooden wheel cart in the bed.

Carpenter Chen looked at the "sled" in the owner's mouth in puzzlement.

"Young master, can this pull things?"

"It can be pulled, and it can be pulled more than a big car, and it is cold and snowy, and it can run faster with it."

The reason why this big sleigh was built was because there were two more snowfalls, and the snow was very heavy, and the snow on the ground was half a foot thick, and it was not easy to walk on the road full of ice and snow, so Shi Yiwen thought of the horse-drawn sleigh, the structure of this thing was simple, so he instructed Chen Craftsman to make one, the horse-drawn sleigh is light in weight, and it can carry 1 ton according to the book.

On the same day, Shi Yiwen specially asked Wang Degong to try this horse-drawn sleigh, of course, it was pulled by oxen, compared with the cart, the horse-drawn sleigh is not only fast, but also pulls more Chinese cabbage, and more vegetables means more vegetables can be sold.

Seeing the benefits of the big sled, someone immediately went to Carpenter Chen to order a sled, and Carpenter Chen, who was still idle, was also busy, and even recruited two apprentices to help him make a sled, but even so, he was still too busy, and some people who couldn't wait bought a sleigh at the carpentry shop in the city in order to sell more vegetables.

For a time, the cabbage and horse-drawn sleigh have become a unique scenery in the capital in this winter, although there have long been sleds in Liaodong, but for the people in the capital, it is extraordinarily fresh, after all, this is what the capital did not have in the past. Even some hard-thinking tenants are not in a hurry to go home after selling their vegetables, but recruit people to go shopping in a sleigh and do a mile of land for two cents.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Shi Yiwen himself is also full of curiosity about horse-drawn sledding, after all, he has never sat on it. With curiosity, and of course, the yearning for the capital, this day took advantage of the warm weather, and got on a horse-drawn sleigh and rushed all the way to the capital.

But after a while, Shi Yiwen regretted it.

Although the sun is shining, you can sit on the sleigh and feel the biting cold wind as soon as the wind blows. It should be in a carriage with a shed.

"Boss, where are we going?"

Wang Degong, who was driving the sleigh, asked with a smile, this sleigh was given to him by the owner, this thing is good, not only labor-saving, but also able to pull more goods.

"Go to Nanzhen Fusi, I, the commander, know the same thing, and I haven't gone there to report until now."

Although he knows that his identity is just a fictitious position, although he is not in a hurry to say that he is not in a hurry, he still has to leave the scene.

Today is just right, go to Jinyiwei to report the way, and then experience the prosperity of the capital by the way. However, let the cold wind blow, Shi Yiwen, who was as cold as a dog, was not in any mood, in fact, in terms of prosperity, the capital is definitely not as good as Nanjing.

Even so, when walking from the gate outside the city, under the city at Guangqu Gate, looking up at the towering city wall, Shi Yiwen slowly exhaled a breath, and his mind was clear.

This is the capital!

Although he had been in the capital for three months, this was the first time he had entered the city.

For Shi Yiwen, who has been idle in the Zhuangzi for a few months, when he entered the city, he passed through the dark and secluded city gate cave, and suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Could this be a new beginning in my life?

In this glorious and prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, as a traverser, where will I go in the future?

With all kinds of thoughts, with a somewhat confused look. In the sound of the horse-drawn sleigh sliding over the ice-covered stone path under the city gate hole, and when the darkness of the city gate hole was dispelled by the light outside, a thought came to Shi Yiwen's heart.

Capital...... I'm coming!
