"Zhu Lichang, do you want lanterns? How many are you hanging? The officials of Shangyuan County came to the door of the box restaurant with a cart, and the leader asked the chief who was standing outside the door.

"We have our own, we have beautiful glass lamps, take them and hang them for others! Wait a minute. ”

The chief said that he went in, and after a while, he took Han Han out, he held a watermelon by himself, and Han Han held it one by one.

"Eat watermelon." The lieutenant put the watermelon in the car.

"Yo! Zhu Li is polite, we have won the benefits of Qiu Village. The leading official bowed his hand happily.

"If you don't eat it, it will spoil after a long time." The lieutenant waved his hand, and the officials continued to hang the lanterns.

"This year's Nanjing is even more beautiful." The lieutenant said to Han Han.

According to the news obtained from Zhu Fan and Zhu Biao, this year the palace paid for someone to make lanterns and send them to various places in Nanjing.

There is money in the palace, and I want the people to witness the prosperous Ming Dynasty together, and by the way, find a job for the people, tie lanterns, paste paper of various colors, and pay wages.

Now hang it up first, and then light it up on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and there will also be an officially organized lantern display activity on the Qinhuai River.

"There are so many festivals in a year, it feels like it's not a few days! It's a festival. ”

Li Chang looked at the queue of shopping diagonally opposite, shook his head, and pulled Hanhan in.

At noon, people eating boxed lunches poured over, lined up in a very orderly manner, no one dared to make trouble, even those who came from other places to find a way to live, they would be warned that they must be honest when they come to this Xiaqiu Village.

These people do not dare to be dishonest, the content of their road is to visit relatives, in fact, there are no relatives, the salary is high in Nanjing, and when they go back after a year and a half, they are better than the people around them.

The premise is that you must be frugal, and the consumption in Nanjing is higher than elsewhere.

If there is no place to live, I take a bedding and find a sheltered corner at night, and a few or a dozen people rest in a group.

No matter how hot the day is, you can lie anywhere, the best by the river, you can also wash your face, and go down to take a bath at night when there are no women.

Of course, eating is the most cost-effective place to sell boxed lunches, and you can choose from several dishes with little money.

Those who work hard spend two pennies to buy three worst cooking cakes, and then buy pickles for a few days for one penny, and they can't eat enough.

The dishes of the lunch box are fried in oil, and a bowl of soup is given, and you can normally eat eight points full, which is almost the same, and you can't do work for a while.

So the box restaurant is not enough to eat, the first to have a place, the later to eat at any place to find a place, or squatting or standing, if you are not full, you can add a little bit back.

Some people even buy it here, take it to the dock to eat, and wait for the work while eating, so that the people in the store can press the rice hard, and try to load as many dishes as possible, so that they don't have to run back and add more.

When I got off work, I sent the cutlery back to the store, and no one hid it, let alone threw it away.

Someone next to you is watching, and you won't use it after hiding it? If you throw it, you will be beaten first if you are caught.

There are even people at the dock who are willing to help everyone deliver tableware, dozens of people's tableware, loaded into a trolley, and pushed to the box restaurant.

The box restaurant will give away something every time, even if the person who sent it doesn't want it, they just want to maintain the store.

Everyone who comes here to eat knows that the shop in Xiaqiu Village will be closed when it says it will be closed, and they don't expect to make money by selling boxed lunches.

"There are more and more people, and then open a branch?" Li Chang and Han Han went into the tent to put salt water on the bees, and found that the number of people eating boxed lunches had nearly doubled.

"We have to recruit apprentices, we can't all be on this. At that time, there is no need to open branches, and people will be sent to push carts to sell everywhere.

People who can come to our store to eat, no need to sit and eat, in the past, we used to work in the field in our village, and we didn't eat breakfast, and the family made it and sent it to the ground, which is generally the right time.

Who brought tables and stools to the ground? Just ate like that, and they all survived. ”

Zhu Wentian said as he squatted down to pick off a cucumber that was about to fall to the ground, and if he didn't leave the seeds, he couldn't let it continue to grow.

The cucumbers left are the bottom, generally grow big, feel good, use a straw rope or something to make a mark on the seedlings, can not be picked.

"It's true, it's convenient for both parties to find someone to sell where someone else works." The lieutenant found that it was still a good way to be simple.

……

Outside the Donghua Gate, Zhu Biao brought people to pick up food in a cart, looking at the place of the tent group in a daze.

A few days ago, I snatched the children's toys, and I haven't returned them until now, thinking that I would find a craftsman to imitate a few more and count as compensation.

As a result, the craftsman said that there was no problem, but the clockwork could not be made, whether it was iron or steel, it just couldn't work.

He regretted that he had never taken a child's toy, and then today he saw a man pedaling around in front of the car as it moved along the tracks.

He made sure he could see clearly, the feet of the person he was kicking didn't hit the ground, what was this?

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down? We're just about to eat. The village elder saw Zhu Biao arrive and said hello.

"Sixth Grandpa, what is that?" Zhu Biao went straight to the point.

"The prince asked the chain and the flywheel? Isn't it like we've built a workshop like the one in the village not too far away!

According to the drawings provided by someone, build a car driven by human power. Your Highness, isn't it more convenient than pushing and pulling?

The flywheel sleeve bearing is connected to the chain, and the chain is also a flywheel sleeve bearing, and people can move forward as long as they pedal.

It's easier than walking, no way, our people in Xiaqiu Village are getting lazier and lazier, just a few steps, alas......"

The village elder explained the structure simply, there is a track there, and there is no need for shock absorption.

The workshop is placed two miles away, to the south of the tent area, the sound of striking iron does not affect people, and now the movement in the imperial city is not small during the day, build a palace!

"Thank you Sixth Grandpa for your advice. You eat first, and the main palace will go and see. Zhu Biao walked over there.

The track is paved from Chaoyangmen to this side, and then to the workshop, and the loading and unloading speed is fast.

I actually changed it today, all because of laziness.

He waited a little while he rode back from the workshop, and the minecart carriage behind him was loaded with the people who were working in the workshop, and he came back to eat.

When he got closer, the cyclist put his hands on a pole under the handlebar, and the outer layer of leather on the outside of the wheel was close to the inside of the wheel, and then slid forward a little further and stopped.

Zhu Biao looked at the car, and then looked back at the car he pushed, and suddenly felt that he was not fragrant.

"Hello, Your Highness the Prince." "Your Highness is here!"

The people in the car jumped out of the car and greeted Zhu Biao one after another, they no longer knelt, they just bowed slightly.

"Don't be busy eating, tell us how to stop? It's not the same as what we pushed? "Zhu Biao found a problem.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are pushing the cushion brake, and now you are using the ring brake, and there is a kind of brake placed on the shaft, called the hub brake.

The first one is inconvenient to put on this car, and the last one has a great impact on the axle, our axle is expensive, and the ring brake is very easy to use as long as the inner ring is smooth. ”

The cyclist got off the bike and pointed to three different locations to explain to Zhu Biao.

"Let's try." Zhu Biao observed, stepped on the pedal on one side, it felt similar to a stirrup, and he rode on one leg, the handle could not be turned, and he rode forward.

To the front of the position someone to help pull the turnout, otherwise rush to the Donghua Gate, this track is connected to the prince's mansion, after the turnout directly forward, there is a steering wheel.

When the car entered, Zhu Biao stopped, someone helped to steer, and he rode to the workshop again.
