After that, all of a sudden, in this newly opened village, the design of bicycles became a topic of interest for everyone.

In Rizhao Village, both men and women, most of them know some handicraft work, and everyone knows how to use wood to make bed boards or tin furniture, repair houses and other simple carpentry work, and everyone wants to point fingers. This made Gu Chuan happy, because he knew that he was a dull person, and it was not his wisdom that he had to rely on, but the wisdom of everyone.

It's just that for the parents of the children, a lot of news is another meaning when they hear it in their ears.

One day, when Yuhua was having dinner with her parents, her mother first asked her:

"Yuhua, you're doing well in the city."

Yuhua was just about to drink saliva, but when she heard this, she put down her bowl, didn't speak, looked hesitant, and then fiddled with her hair.

To hesitate is to deny, and to be silent is not to want to say yes.

Yuhua learned to answer her parents' questions with hesitation and silence since she was a child.

She was in the window with her head down, and outside the window was her mother looking up and looking down at her calmly.

The adults who get along day and night can naturally see the child's discomfort:

"Is it hard work?"

Yuhua let out a faint "um", looking forward to being comforted and relieved by her parents as she did when she was a child.

It's just that Yuhua's mother took it as ordinary, and said patiently with a sense of guidance:

"Yuhua, it's hard, but it's normal to be hard, people always have to be very hard. If you can endure the hardships, then you will grow up! To learn more from that teacher, we didn't have the opportunity to do that before! ”

When Yuhua finished listening, her face suddenly began to turn white. She pursed her lips and turned her stiff head in silence to the window, in which was the field in which her face was reflected as she began to age.

She could have worked hard, but if she hadn't known that her efforts would have been a deception.

"Lately, you've been making a toy with the doctor's boy, aren't you?"

Her mother continued to ask.

"Yes."

Yuhua almost thought that this was what her mother didn't want her to do. Her mother always forbade her to do many things, not to run freely in the fields, and if she saw her, she was to be called her, and she was not allowed to roll happily in the grass, saying that this was something that a girl should not do.

"It's not impossible."

Her mother said slowly.

"They are all members of the same clan, and they want to have a good relationship, and they can help more in Sunset City in the future."

This made Yuhua's face smile slightly, and she raised her head and looked at her mother.

His mother continued:

"It would be a good thing if he could really create something strange about him, and he could dedicate it to the nobles of Sunset City in exchange for the appreciation of the people of the inner city."

Yuhua's face was difficult to look at, and she turned her head sideways and looked out the window.

Subsequently, Yuhua's mother asked Yuhua again:

"He's working under a scholar named Mr. Toku, isn't he?"

Yuhua nodded.

The mother's face was even better, and she agreed more with Yuhua's approach to Gu Chuan. It's just that she still has a little sour feeling:

"Alas, that's nice. A scholar who is compiling a book can still enter the inner city...... If you can enter the inner city, you must also be a member of the staff of which family. It's good, it's good...... Licheon, Yeocheon's luck is always good. His son was lucky, even if he rejected one nobleman, he could meet another nobleman. We don't have this luck, why don't we have this luck? ”

Her mother looked at Yuhua in a daze, as if she wanted to find some kind of shadow of herself in Yuhua's body.

She was distracted.

Until she fell asleep that day, Yuhua was also thinking about this conversation between her and her mother:

"Mom encouraged me to ...... because she felt that the current Brother Chuan was a disciple of Mr. De and was very close to the upper class."

Through a door, the sound of Yuhua's parents talking in bed was heard, and they were discussing the bicycle.

Why should people condemn those of higher status and reject those of lower status? And why ......?"

She remembered the day she exposed her senior sister's actions to the old lady, the old lady didn't care much at first, then squinted her eyes and said to Yuhua seriously-

The junior sister cannot report the senior sister. What are you doing here? She's taller than you! It's called Elder Secret, and it's the first thing I'm going to teach you in Sunset City.

She lay on the bed, feverish, and her face flushed, like the fiery red clouds on the river in the evening sun.

And why...... Will there be generations? Juniors have to avoid their elders, obviously the senior sister is wrong, but I can't say that she is wrong...... So when am I...... Can you become an elder...... ”

Yuhua's slender white fingers hung on the edge of the sheet, so that she could pull the sheet up and cover her face, and then she was groggy, muttering about the mistake, the right and Gu Chuan's name, and fell asleep unconsciously.

By then, the corners of her eyes were moist.

At the end of the solar term, rain is scarce.

In the middle of summer, there was no sound in the depths of the fields, only the sound of the rivers and the soft sound of the wild flowers swaying in the wind. For some reason, the caravan still stopped in Rizhao Village, and the tired sheep and horses raised their feet and neighed.

After doing farm work on the riverbank, I thought it was too hot and stuffy, so I lay down in the shade of a tree to cool off.

Sometimes, He'an will also want to give up some plans to make a fortune in Sunset City, so he can live in Rizhao Village with peace of mind. It's a pity that whenever mosquitoes bite, there is no light at night, and Miao Miao doesn't know what to do, he thinks of the prosperity of Sunset City again.

"I don't know if Xiao Chuan's 'bicycle' has been made."

A cyan leaf fell on the belly of the riverbank.

"I heard that the carpenter had finished the wooden wheels a few days ago, and it seems that he can already turn on the ground, and now he is going to work on the transmission system. I had to put the chain, the plate, and the pedals on it, but the mountain peach reported that it was a little difficult, there were many places to polish, the chain would be disjointed for a while, and the supporting beams would have to be added more, and the whole summer solar term might not be able to make this thing move......"

It is said that there is only one pneumatic tire missing from the device.

Pneumatic tires are manufactured in parallel, but several rubber materials are not good, and they were all damaged by stones during the test run.

Speaking of these, the river bank was upset for some reason:

"But I have a pact with Ogawa. If Xiao Chuan wins the bet, I can't call him Xiao Chuan, but Brother Chuan. But if he loses...... He can't be as old as he used to be, he has to call me big brother! If that's the case, then our invention will fail. ”

The riverbank moved, lay on his side, and muttered to himself:

"But Ogawa said that invention and creation do not make money, finance makes money. At first, the invention was just a springboard, so he said that in the end, he wanted to do something else. ”

Gu Chuan's many inadvertent words were a kind of poison that was difficult to comprehend for this group of people around him, making everyone around him feel confused.

And the hot wind of the great heat blew the riverbank drowsy.

At this moment, there was a creaking sound, rolling over the weeds and stones, and there was a surprised girl's voice, which was the voice of Yamamo:

"Brother Chuan, you succeeded!"

The riverbank suddenly raised his head to look over there, only to see the country road, among the golden fields, the monster with two wheels one after the other was being ridden under the bones and running fast, the more he ran, the more he did not fall, so that the riverbank could not help but begin to imagine the feeling of riding such a strange car, and his eyes widened.

"Hey!"

This is Gu Chuan who found the riverbank sitting on the side of the road, under a large chestnut tree.

The "bicycle" is not perfect, and mistakes can occur at any time, so Gu Chuan picked up garbage in the city - it was really picking up garbage, and he didn't use money to buy it - he found a small helmet, washed it and put it on his head.

He was wearing short-sleeved shorts, wearing this field helmet, and his feet were pedaling on the pedals that were only used in the world on waterwheels or textile machines, and he galloped all the way to Wuhu Lake.

The large chainring on which the pedal is located rotates constantly, driving the chain to rotate and make a crisp sound.

The carpenter, along with the craftsmen of another village, and several other old people, followed him together, and when they saw him running away, they could not help but blow their beards and stare at him:

"Baby, be careful!"

Shan Tao and Hong Shake were much more excited, they followed behind Gu Chuan, ran on the mud ground, stepped on a series of heavy footprints, and let out a continuous shout of surprise, eager to spread the news throughout the village:

"Brother Chuan has succeeded!"

Gu Chuan beckoned to the riverbank, and the riverbank got up and asked:

"Xiaochuan, where are you going!"

The river bank forgot to gamble, and Gu Chuan also forgot it. He suppressed his excitement and said blandly:

"Go to the caravan, will you go?"

"I'll go, I'll go."

The riverbank also ran and laughed excitedly, forgetting all his original thoughts.

The eternal dusk renders a large expanse of red glow, and the summer breeze follows behind a group of young people. After Gu Chuan's excitement at the beginning passed, he became bored, began to ride slowly, and kept talking about the things when he was building a bicycle.

Eventually, several young men came to the caravan at the edge of the village. The caravan of concave-faced merchants was stationed on the edge of a small river branched out from the Rizhao River, the river was in the orange light and shadow of the setting sun, the stones in the water were smooth and smooth, and there was a man in the caravan who was washing clothes, while washing clothes, chatting with the women, looking up, seeing the bicycles rolling over, he opened his eyes and shouted, and he didn't care to chat with the girl:

"Mom, what's new!"

He had also seen a mechanical calculation clock and many of the village's treasured treasures, but he had never seen such a strange thing with two wheels running around on the ground one after the other!

"Won't people fall?"

Over there, Hongsha shouted proudly:

"Of course not! This is our Brother Chuan's creation! ”

One glory and one loss, for the simple boy of Rizhao Village, there is nothing more superior than now!

Naturally, the concave-faced merchant was still tinkering with his alchemy.

It was just that it was noisy outside, and he also put down his alchemy, closed the tent cloth, walked in the wagon of the caravan, and watched from a distance as the two-wheeled thing rushed all the way in front of him. His eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, and he looked at Gu Chuan in the car.

Gu Chuan rode all the way to the concave-faced merchant to talk to him.

As a result, the newly installed brakes actually failed and did not work, and the bicycle could not stop. Gu Chuan didn't panic, he just let the wind and people move, let go of his straight and slender legs from the pedal, and fell to the ground. The old shoes that had been mended several times, when they touched the soil, made a long track in the dirt. It was dusty and stained the white stockings that had only been washed yesterday.

Then, the world's first bicycle was parked right next to the caravan's wagon.

The sheep and horses grazing raised their heads uneasily, giving their "peers" a hostile look at them and letting out a low roar.

It's a pity that this peer is silent, as silent as a piece of steel or wood.

"How's it going? Boss. ”

Gu Chuan said to the concave-faced merchant with a smile.

Gu Chuan's familiar appearance made the river bank suspicious:

"How can Xiao Chuan be so familiar with the concave face merchant?"

"You're stupid!"

Hong Sha said unscrupulously:

"Guess why the caravan didn't leave, how could the caravan stop in Rizhao Village for so long, it was Brother Chuan and the caravan owner who discussed it! Tell them to stay a little longer, and they will see many good things! ”

"This ...... Is that okay? ”

The riverbank touched his head, not quite understanding.

"The caravan boss listened to Ogawa like this?"

Hong Sha couldn't explain this, but suddenly realized the problem in the riverbank's words, and hurriedly teased the riverbank:

"Why are you still called Brother Chuan, Xiaochuan! Isn't that a bet? I'm going to change my name, Brother Kishizi, your seniority is going to be lower! ”

The banks of the river were all at once.

The concave-faced merchant held back the excitement in his heart, and walked around the "bicycle" without moving, touching the wooden poles, crossbars, wire spokes, and iron-clad wheels of the car.

"You got what you said...... What is this thing called? Gu, Chuan. ”

He was not very proficient in calling Gu Chuan's name.

Gu Chuan said funny:

"It's called a bicycle."

"Bicycle ...... A car that can walk on its own...... A cart that doesn't need a horse to pull ......"

The concave-faced merchant muttered a few times and laughed:

"Okay, okay!"

"Well, is it something that can make you rich?"

Gu Chuan asked him.

"Yes, yes—"

The concave-faced merchant knew that he couldn't hide this person who had worked at the Yuanta Family Publishing House, so he nodded straightly.

The first time he saw the bicycle, he could already imagine how this tool would change Sunset City's traffic and caravan traffic, and even imagine that this equipment could be sold to Sunset City's infantry, and the army would use bicycles to move soldiers on a large scale, which was more efficient than horses!

Then the concave-faced merchant thought that he would sweep away the original losses and the money owed because of the strange bond transaction, and he didn't have to continue to ponder this alchemy that could not produce results at all. Thinking of this, he immediately jumped to the scene of himself entering the inner city, and also became a big family in the inner city.

From then on, he didn't have to please the little ghost Hades of the shit Deep Earth family.

"So, are we going to talk?"

As early as when Gu Chuan was designing the bicycle, he also realized that it was impossible for him to persuade the people of Rizhao Village to help him enter the city together, at most to raise funds in Rizhao Village, so he needed to turn to the power that originally belonged to Sunset City.

A concave face merchant is undoubtedly a suitable one.

Why is it appropriate?

Because he and his men didn't know anything about craft. In other words, they don't know technology, and the bicycle seems to them to be as incredible as the counting clock, as much as everything else they sell.

The second reason is that he was really devastated by the changes in the inner city of Sunset City.

At that time, the concave-faced merchant looked and saw the young men all walking to the bicycles to watch, and the craftsmen of the village also chased after them, chatted with the caravans, and began to pick up goods.

"It's for a talk."

The concave face merchant said.

"What price do you want to offer?"

"It's not an offer."

The concave-faced merchant looked back in surprise, puzzled.

Gu Chuan shook his head and said with a smile:

"I don't want any real chameleon coins from you, and I even want to give you money."

We are a commercial bank, we do investment, and what we want is your equity.

However, there is no concept of equity in Sunset City now, so let's take the strange coupon issued by the Shendi family as an example to sign a contract.
