Chapter 283: Toys
Several people stayed in Jinzhou for three days, accompanied by Ning Changrong.
"Okay Evergreen, we'll go back tomorrow, you haven't done anything these days, it's not a matter just to accompany us to go shopping, you hurry up and finish the things here, hurry back and accompany us." Wang Xiujuan said as she cleaned up the table and bought a bunch of miscellaneous things.
Ning Changrong was a little reluctant: "Why did you leave so quickly and stay for a few more days?" ”
"What can you do if you stay for a few more days, and you can stay for a lifetime? Hurry up and finish your business, and we'll have something to do when we go back." ”
"Okay, mother, then you have to be careful on the way back." Ning Changrong said to Ning Wang Xiujuan, his tone was a little stunned.
In the few days I stayed in Golden State, I ate well and lived well, and the cowpox on the black spot was gone.
On the way back, I opened my hooves and spread joy on the road, and from time to time I ran to the side of the road to nibble on a few mouthfuls of grass.
……
After going back, Ning Qingxi remembered her bicycle, and before she had long rested, she found Carpenter Sun's house, and found that there was a wooden bicycle in the corner of Carpenter Sun's house.
Ning Qingxi's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he hurriedly stepped forward and tried it with his hands, the body was polished very smooth, and it could be seen that Carpenter Sun had worked hard.
She tried to pedal with her foot, but found that the wheels didn't move at all.
She was about to go to Carpenter Sun to ask about the situation, when Carpenter Sun came.
"Sissy, are you back?"
Ning Qingxi couldn't wait to ask, "Uncle Sun, what's the matter?" Why can't this car move? ”
Carpenter Sun squatted down and pointed to the place where the gears were, "You can see it here, the thing you drew for me called a chain can't be made." ”
Ning Qingxi slapped his forehead, and then he thought that this thing really couldn't be made of wood, even if the gears could barely be made of wood, but it would be useless without a chain.
Thinking of this, Ning Qingxi was a little discouraged, "Uncle Sun, I'll go back and think about it and come to you again, this car will be placed at your house first." ”
……
She had been thinking about it since she got home.
Wang Xiujuan looked at her and asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”
Ning Qingxi briefly talked about the matter of Tosun carpenter making bicycles.
"Didn't I say you, Sissy, you are a little taken for granted, how can this wood be used to make a bicycle? There are many parts that can't be replaced by wood, right? ”
Ning Qingxi was a little discouraged after hearing this, pulled his hands on the table in front of him, leaned his head up, and looked weak.
"Then I didn't do it for nothing?"
Wang Xiujuan wanted to ask and nodded, "It's really done for nothing, unless you use iron." ”
It's impossible to use iron, not to mention whether you can get iron, but after using iron, the value of the bicycle will go up. Typically, those who have money don't need it, and those who don't have money can't afford it.
"It's not impossible for you to make a bicycle, but you can't ride an adult bicycle that requires a chain, you can consider a bicycle that a child can sit on?" Wang Xiujuan suggested.
Ning Qingxi was in good spirits all of a sudden.
"Milk, are you talking about a bicycle that is kind of like a tricycle, and then the pedal is on one wheel in front for the little ones?"
"That's it. But you're fine, why do you want to ride a bike? The bike I'm talking about isn't practical to make. At best, it's a toy, and it's certainly not very easy to use wood. ”
"I just thought about whether I could do an errand service, so I thought about making a bicycle, and it was a lot more convenient to have a bicycle." Ning Qingxi replied.
"But you're right, that kind of kid's bicycle doesn't seem to be of much use." When the time comes, I'm half tired from pedaling the bike, so I might as well run.
"yes, if you want to use this bike to increase your speed, I advise you to rest early." After Wang Xiujuan finished speaking, she left to do her own work, and after walking for so many days, she was a little worried about what happened to fish and rice farming, and after coming back, she went out of the city every day to see.
Ning Qingxi, who was left behind, was still thinking hard, forget it, it seems that he can only start Plan B.
But she is not willing to let go of the bicycle just like that, children play with children, not to use it as an errand tool can also be used as a toy to sell to those rich families.
Thinking of this, Ning Qingxi immediately ran to his room and drew a drawing of a three-wheeled bicycle that children played, and then hurriedly ran to Carpenter Sun's house and asked him to do this thing.
This time there is no difficulty, with the experience of the previous bicycle, it only took two days for Carpenter Sun to polish the toy bicycle suitable for children to play, and even as soon as the bicycle sat out, his little grandson happily wanted to climb up.
When Ning Qingxi came, he asked Carpenter Sun's grandson to sit on the toy bicycle and try it, and the size of the bicycle was just the size of a child.
After testing that the bicycle could indeed be used, Ning Qingxi happily discussed the sale of the bicycle with Carpenter Sun.
"Although the previous bicycle can't be done, it's not difficult for us to do this, why don't we open a shop that sells this kind of bicycle for children? You can also play some other toys and sell them together! ”
Carpenter Sun hesitated, opening a shop is not a simple matter, "Can anyone buy it?" ”
"Surely the coal man will buy it? How happy do you see him playing? Other kids will definitely enjoy it too. Ning Qingxi pointed to the little grandson of the carpenter Sun who was playing with his bicycle.
"You don't have to worry about the shop, I'll find another guy to look after the shop, and then you can help make toy bicycles and other small toys." Let's divide the money between four and six, and I'll divide it with you. ”
In this way, doesn't he just take forty percent just by making a effort? How can Carpenter Sun take advantage of this? He hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "The shop can be opened, but I can't ask for so much money, what ability does your Uncle Sun have to know for himself, you can do this drawing with any person, you take Uncle Sun, it was Uncle Sun who took advantage of it, you just give me some wages every month, and you don't need to divide the account by four or six." ”
Carpenter Sun insisted again and again, and finally Ning Qingxi chose to give him a percent salary, if he was too busy to hire someone, Ning Qingxi would be responsible for the salary.
After the matter was finalized, Ning Qingxi asked Carpenter Sun to quickly work overtime to make some more toy bicycles, and the one she originally made was taken home by her.
At home, I squatted on the ground and counted the ingots of ants, and when I saw the bicycle, my eyes lit up, and the ants ran towards her without counting.
"Sister!"
Ning Qingxi squatted down and pinched Xiao Yuanbao's face, "This is a toy given to you by my sister, do you like it or not?" ”
Yuan Bao Meng said: "I like it! ”
"And what are you going to say?" Ning Qingxi guided.
Yuan Bao tilted his head and thought for a while, and said sweetly to Ning Qingxi: "Thank you, sister!" ”
Ning Qingxi stood up happily and patted his head, "Okay, Yuanbao is really good, come, you go play." ”
Yuan Bao got permission, jumped to the bicycle and sat down, two small short legs on the pedal to play alone in the yard.
