Chapter 243: A Carriage and Horse Traveling in the Suburbs
Gu Xiaoyou muttered and walked to the car door, gently pushed the door open, and the subordinate immediately stretched out his arm to help, and asked with concern, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Gu Xiaoyou pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled dryly, and secretly rubbed his waist.
When she raised her eyes to look at the scenery in front of her, she could see a pile of timber in front of the woods, and a clearing, and she didn't see any shadows of the carriage and horse shop, and asked curiously, "Where is the chariot and horse shop?" ”
"Just around the corner to your north, Mademoiselle is looking this way." The servant pointed in the direction to the right.
Gu Xiaoyou looked at the place where he pointed his finger, a tall building could be faintly seen among the trees, and he could see the fence of the yard when he stood on tiptoe, and he couldn't see it clearly.
"Is that the corner tower?" Gu Xiaoyou asked.
"Yes, the road there is so narrow that it is inconvenient to transfer the carriage out, so the small one will park the carriage here, and the young lady may have to walk a few more steps, please forgive me." The subordinate nodded and confessed.
"It's okay, it's just a few steps." Gu Xiaoyou waved his hand and said indifferently, "You wait here." ”
"Yes, miss." The subordinate answered, bowed down and watched Gu Xiaoyou walk away.
Gu Xiaoyou walked over, and before he reached the corner, he heard the neighing of horses and the lively sound of people.
"Business here is quite hot." Listening to the boiling sound in front of him, Gu Xiaoyou sighed with emotion.
After walking a few steps, I came out of the corner, and as soon as I came out of the corner, my vision suddenly widened.
In front of the wide wooden fence, I listened to the carriages, and on the opposite side of the carriage, there were a few horses grazing with their heads bowed, and a horse farm could be faintly seen in the distance, and from time to time there was the sound of horses' chirping and clattering horses' hooves.
Next to the wooden fence stands a vertical wooden sign, on which are engraved three large characters of carriage and horse travel.
Gu Xiaoyou looked inside along the wooden sign, a large courtyard surrounded by a wooden fence, and a three-story building could be seen in the courtyard at a glance.
A few people were talking about a carriage, and a man who looked like a man explained something with a smile on his face.
Looking at other places, it is also a similar scene, all of them are explained by one person, several people listen to the posture, and the interpreter also jumps up and down on the carriage from time to time, demonstrating to the guests how to drive the carriage.
"It's kind of like a car show." Gu Xiaoyou looked at it with interest for a while, and said funny.
She was observing the carriage in the courtyard when a man came forward and asked enthusiastically, "Hello, are you here to buy a carriage?" What kind of style do you want? ”
"I'm here to buy a carriage, but I'm afraid you don't have the carriage I want." Gu Xiaoyou said with the old god behind his back.
"The small shop is the most complete carriage shop in the capital, and it is impossible not to have the style you want." The man said confidently, "Please tell me what kind of carriage you want to choose?" ”
Still too young, Gu Xiaoyou shook his head, unhurriedly took out the drawings from his cuffs, and handed them to the guy: "What I want is such a carriage." ”
"Let's take a look." The guy smiled and took the drawing with both hands.
As soon as he casually unfolded the drawing, the guy looked at the paper and was dumbfounded.
He asked himself how many years he had been selling carriages, and he had seen two-wheeled carriages, and four-wheeled carriages, simple and luxurious, and unroofed, all kinds of carriages, and he had never seen such a peculiar style of carriage.
You can see that the carriage on the drawing is boxy, the ground is low but the wheels are large, and the carriage on one side is almost half open, drawn as a large window, and on both sides of the window stand two inclined poles, on which are supported by the same square plank, which is wider than the window.
The man carefully folded the drawings and said ashamedly: "Forgive the little unheard, I have never seen such a peculiar carriage." ”
"Those who don't know are not to blame." Gu Xiaoyou put away the drawings, said generously, and then asked: "Your carriage and horse shop can provide customized carriage business?" ”
"Yes, the little one will take you to meet the boss, this way." The guy enthusiastically led Gu Xiaoyou to the small building and introduced, "The boss is inside." ”
"Hmm." Gu Xiaoyou replied and walked over with his buddy.
As soon as he walked to the door, a middle-aged man with a long beard walked out, the man was a little elegant, Gu Xiaoyou thought it was a seller who came to sell the car, and just wanted to make way for him, he heard the guy call: "Boss, this young lady wants to order a car." ”
Seeing that the elegant man nodded, he arched his hand towards Gu Xiaoyou: "Hello, what style of carriage do you want to order?" ”
Some accidents The owner of the carriage seller actually looked like a scholar, Gu Xiaoyou put away his surprise, and took out the drawings from his sleeve: "I want to order such a carriage." ”
The owner of the carriage and horse shop took the drawings as a matter of course, he thought it was a lady of a family, and wanted a carriage with a unique pattern.
Unfolding the drawings and looking at this, the owner of the carriage and horse shop immediately put away his contempt, looked at the style of the carriage on the drawings, and said in surprise: "This car is a little interesting, is it what you think, Miss?" ”
"I improved it based on other cars, can you do it?" Gu Xiaoyou asked, she was more concerned about whether the carriage could be made now.
"Yes, you can, but I'd like to ask you some details below." As he spoke, the eyes of the owner of the carriage and horse shop never left the drawings.
"Okay, just ask any questions." Gu Xiaoyou said.
"Please also talk to the young lady in a quiet place." The owner of the carriage and horse shop said politely.
"Yes." Gu Xiaoyou nodded in agreement, and followed the boss into the small building.
The boss took Gu Xiaoyou into a room on the first floor and left the door open: "Miss, please come in, let someone bring tea here." ”
"Okay." Gu Xiaoyou walked into the room, and as soon as he entered the room, he was attracted by the layout of the room.
There are small models of various carriages on both sides of the room, and there is a desk in the center of the room, with paper and pen on the desk, and lines drawn on the paper.
Looking at the corners of the room, there are all kinds of tools piled up, and the whole room is filled with the smell of sawdust and paper and ink.
The room is like a tool room, a bit of a model room for modern otaku.
When Gu Xiaoyou looked at the model of the carriage on the shelf, the owner of the carriage and horse shop brought a subordinate in, and the subordinate poured tea and retreated.
The owner of the carriage and horse shop said apologetically: "The room is a little messy, please forgive me, please sit here." ”
As he spoke, the owner of the carriage and horse shop took out a chair out of nowhere and placed it across from the table where he was drawing the drawings.
"It's okay, the room is interesting." Gu Xiaoyou withdrew his gaze from looking at the model and sat down on the chair.
