Chapter 981: Everyone Learns to Ride
He reached out and stroked the smooth frame of his bicycle, and his eyes seemed to be in front of the bustling scene of the streets of later generations.
"Heh, it's just a bike, and it's worth all the fuss you guys about?"
In the modern world, bicycles are just ordinary things, and who would consider them to be treasures?
But in this Ming Dynasty, such a new thing is enough to set off an uproar.
"Lord Wang, how about we go and try it?" Li Xing asked as he bowed to the side.
He couldn't hold back and wanted to see this amazing bike.
"What's the hurry?" A playful smile appeared at the corner of Chu Ze's mouth.
"This king's masterpiece, how can you play with it at will, tomorrow."
"Also, wouldn't it be nice to send the order down and show it to the people in the market center on a certain day, and then let this bicycle be unveiled?"
"Yes, yes, the prince is wise!" Yang Cai nodded busily.
"Only by sharing it with the people, such a divine object is not considered a tyrannical thing!"
"Okay, okay, let's all disperse." Chu Ze waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Remember, this matter is not to be made public, just take it as a surprise, and then let those people feast their eyes when the time comes!"
"Tomorrow there are free officials and craftsmen to gather in the garden, and I will teach everyone to ride a bicycle"
"Yes!" Everyone received the order and retreated one after another.
The next day, Chu Ze smiled slightly and said to everyone: "Everyone, just looking at it can't be done, it's better to try it yourself to know the magic of this bicycle." ”
As he spoke, he walked over to the bike, stretched out his legs onto the saddle, and gripped the handlebars with both hands.
As soon as he stepped on his feet, the wheels spun rapidly, and he slid forward steadily.
"Oh my God!" The fat official's eyes widened, and his jaw was about to drop.
"This ...... That's amazing, isn't it? The prince didn't fall! ”
"Not really!" The thin official was also so shocked that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.
"The prince's feet are off the ground, but the car can still move forward smoothly, just like an immortal riding a crane!"
Chu Ze casually circled in front of him and rode back to everyone leisurely.
He stopped the car steadily, and stepped out of the car on tiptoe.
"How? This king's riding skills are quite passable, right? He smiled and looked around at the crowd.
"Over...... Tolerably? The officials looked at each other, not knowing how to describe it for a moment.
They have lived most of their lives, and how have they ever seen such a miraculous sight?
It's a fantasy that a car with only two wheels can carry people smoothly!
"How about you try it too?" Chu Ze raised his eyebrows and beckoned to them.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they are all a little hesitant for a while.
"This ...... If you ride it like this, you really won't fall off? Yang Cai asked tremblingly.
"Haha, it won't." Chu Ze laughed and said, "As long as you master the essentials of balance, you can ride steadily." Come, this king will teach you. ”
As he spoke, he patiently pointed out to the people.
"Pedal hard with your feet, lean forward slightly, and balance with the handlebars. Yes, that's it, that's good! ”
Under the careful guidance of Chu Ze, everyone gradually mastered the essentials of cycling.
At first, they still inevitably staggered and almost fell into the mud.
The fat official begged again and again: "Lord Wang, forget it!" The little one is so fat, riding it will definitely crush the car! ”
"Haha, don't be afraid!" Chu Ze smiled and comforted: "This bicycle is made of stainless steel, how can you be crushed by this bit of fat?" ”
In this way, Chu Ze tirelessly taught everyone, demonstrating the essentials of cycling over and over again.
Gradually, everyone was able to barely ride a few steps, although it was still rickety and crooked, but it was also the first glimpse of the doorway.
"Haha, that's interesting!" Yang Cai rode around and shouted excitedly: "This bicycle is really powerful, and there is a feeling of riding the clouds!" ”
"Not really!" The thin official smiled and said: "If you are familiar with riding, I am afraid that the carriage will give three points!" ”
Although the fat official was still hesitating, he was also eager to try: "The little one...... Try the little ones too! Don't worry, you won't spoil this baby bump! ”
As he spoke, he leaned on the body and carefully stepped onto the saddle.
But as soon as he sat like this, the body immediately sank.
"Ahh The fat official was so frightened that he hurriedly jumped out of the car, his face turned white.
"Huo, it's dangerous, it's dangerous! It's almost going to roll over! ”
"Hahaha!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Lord Zhang, you are sitting, this car is in trouble! Fortunately, it was made of stainless steel, and if I changed it to other materials, it would have fallen apart a long time ago! ”
"That's it! Lord Zhang, with your bones, let's take the carriage honestly! ”
The fat official Zhang sneered and touched his head, and he was embarrassed to get into the car again.
He secretly scolded himself: "What a bicycle, it's just a showcase!" How can the official's figure be able to withstand a mere iron bump? ”
Chu Ze watched from the sidelines, and his heart blossomed.
The more clumsy they were, the more proud Chu Ze felt in his heart.
"Oh, if it weren't for the king's personal teaching, I'm afraid you wouldn't even be able to ride the car!"
Thinking of this, Chu Ze couldn't help but want to laugh.
However, he was still serious and continued to explain the essentials of cycling to everyone.
"Remember, the most important thing in cycling is balance. The body should swing slightly with the car, control the direction with both hands, and pedal with both feet. ”
"Yes, that's good! You're all very fast! Practice a few more times and you're sure you'll be able to ride smoothly! ”
When the officials heard this, they became more energetic one by one and rushed to ride up.
In the beginning, it is inevitable to stumble and stumble.
After Yang Cai rode a lap, he stumbled and almost fell into the mud.
"Ouch my mother!" He got up in shock and patted the dirt on his body with an embarrassed expression.
He secretly scolded himself and said: "Yang Cai, Yang Cai, you can't ride two wheels well, what face do you have to be an official?" ”
The thin officer rode more smoothly, but the handlebars involuntarily swayed left and right, and he almost hit someone.
"Oops!" He hurriedly braked and apologized repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" For the small first ride, please bear with me! ”
In this way, the officials fell, I bumped it, and it took me a long time to barely master some riding skills.
Later, when I got better, I was able to ride around the yard.
"Hahaha, that's interesting!" Yang Cai shouted excitedly: "The feeling of riding on a car is completely different from riding a horse!" ”
"That's it!" The thin official also smiled and said: "If you are familiar with riding, why don't you run all over the streets and alleys?" ”
Even the fat official Lord Zhang was reluctant to get out of the car.
He pedaled cautiously, for fear that one would fall down again if he was not careful. (End of chapter)
