Portable space

In the next two days, Zhang Taiping didn't go there either, just stayed at home and fiddled with the sedan chair.

In fact, the production outside during the day is just for show, and it is mainly produced in the space at night.There is plenty of time inside and you won't get tired. As for the wood, it has been cultivated in the space for a long time. Even if some years are not enough, you can use the spring water in the space to grow it to a usable level.

He mainly chooses pine wood and red toon wood. These two kinds of wood are naturally red and have a fragrance. They represent festive wood. It couldn't be better.

After spending two nights in the space, which is nearly a month, the basic structure of the chariot has been produced.

These are no longer dumplings in the traditional sense. They are not produced much like the ancient dragon and phoenix chariots. If they were placed in ancient times, they would be the kind carried by 16 people.

The eight corners of the sedan chair are carved with festive patterns, and the eight corners curled up can be hung with tassels, pendants and other things.The eight-sided sedan chair wall is two-finger-thick wooden boards, and three sides can move freely, which is equivalent to three doors.

The space for internal force is huge, even if eight people sit in eight corners, a large table can be placed in the middle.

The base is directly connected to an ancient wooden cart with four wheels underneath. In this way, it becomes a large sedan chair that can move quickly, which can be pulled by horses and carried by people.

When the sedan chair appeared in the lavender field on the morning of the third day, everyone was shocked.

"Brother, did you just finish it so quickly?" Fan Ming asked in disbelief looking at the huge and luxurious sedan chair.

In fact, except for Cai Yazhi, everyone in the family has some doubts.

Zhang Taiping did not intend to explain in detail, nodded and said: "Many materials have been made before, and these two nights are just assembled."

"Let me just say, how could such a big and beautiful sedan chair be made in two days." Fan Ming clapped his hands and said.

Zhang Taiping pulled him into the courtyard, no matter adults or children surrounded him.

"Is it such a big sedan chair? I've seen that sedan chair before, but it's so small that only one person can sit in it, and there are no wheels underneath, so it takes two to four people to carry it." Zhang Xiuxiu exclaimed. .

Zhang Taiping said: "It would require too many people to carry it, so I installed four wheels directly. After two days, I will go out and get a few horses back, and I will use the horses to pull it directly. It has momentum!"

After looking at the sedan chair for a while, Fan Ming asked, "Brother, what are you doing with this sedan chair?"

Zhang Taiping smiled back and said: "One is just doing it for fun, and the other is just making a fuss. When the time comes, this kind of horse-drawn sedan chair will be rented out for married people. Making money is a trivial matter." , mainly because it can increase the popularity of the village, and it can be regarded as a free advertisement for the village."

"It turns out that elder brother used this as a sedan chair." Fan Ming's eyes completed the crescent shape. "There must be a lot of people vying to use this sedan chair."

Fan Ming's thinking is different from Cai Yazhi's. At the moment, Cai Yazhi is thinking about whether someone will come to rent, but Fan Ming directly confirms that there are many people who rent.

Zhang Taiping said to the women around him: "The basic structure has been completed, and I will leave it to you to make the layout for the upper part. In short, the layout should be festive and ancient."

"Are you in a hurry to use it?" Cai Yazhi asked from the side.

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "Don't worry, it can be done at the top."

Immediately, Fan Ming climbed into the sedan chair to have a look, Wu Kong also followed in, and even climbed to the top, but this sedan chair is very novel to everyone, but to it, there is nothing worth seeing, so feel free to look at it Not interested after a while.

The sedan chair was placed in the center of the courtyard, and some women came to watch it after hearing the news, but few men were interested in it, only old man Qian came to check it out.

"It's really a big deal." Old man Qian sighed, "How long did it take you to make it? Have you never seen you do it before?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "I prepared it a long time ago. I usually make some parts by hand when I have nothing to do. It took two days to assemble them together."

"Why did you suddenly think of making something like this?" Old man Qian was a little puzzled.

"There are various ways to get married now. Some people can even invite an excavator from a construction team as a wedding car. I believe this car will be of great use."

"Hiss!" Old man Qian took a deep breath, "Are you planning to use this as a sedan chair for welcoming the bride?"

Zhang Taiping nodded.

"We rural people can't afford such a big thing." Old Man Qian said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid the rental fee will not be low at that time, right?"

Zhang Taiping said casually: "People who want to rent this place to get married will definitely not care about the price."

Old man Qian looked at the wheels under the sedan chair again, and asked, "What kind of cart are you going to use to pull it in front?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "Don't use a cart to pull it, but use a horse."

"Using horses? It may be a bit difficult to use two horses for such a big sedan chair." Old man Qian knew that Zhang Taiping's house had two large, one small, and three fine horses.

"I don't need the horses at home to pull them. I plan to go out in a few days and buy a few horses of the same color, which are specially used to pull the sedan chair."

"Tsk tsk." Old man Qian sighed subconsciously and didn't say anything else, but was shocked by Zhang Taiping's big hand.

Although he didn't know the specific price of a horse, the price of six or seven cows was more than enough, and Zhang Taiping only exported a few horses, and he still looked calm.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, I really don't know how much money Dashuai Zhang has in his family.

At noon, the village chief called and said that he had something to discuss.

After Zhang Taiping passed by, a bunch of people had already gathered in the village chief's yard, but most of them were not from the village.

The old village head found a free time and said to Zhang Taiping: "These are the leaders of Fengyukou Village. The hot spring was just built yesterday. I invited a leader from the town to come over and have a meal together. You should follow along."

If the hot spring is to run smoothly, it is necessary to give some benefits to the leaders of the town. This time, inviting the so-called leaders of the town to inspect and eat together is just the beginning.

The old village chief asked Zhang Taiping to accompany him because he wanted to get in touch with the leaders of his town.In fact, Zhang Taiping valued these things, and he didn't want to waste time dealing with these nonsense, but since the old village chief said this out of good intentions, he couldn't refuse.

A group of people went to the hot spring to have a look first.

I'm afraid that the ancient-style buildings look pretty good from a distance, and they complement each other with the green hills behind them, giving people a feeling of secluded living.

The decoration inside is also close to nature. Except for the baths in the single rooms, the public baths are all made of pebbles. The hot springs flowing on them are very beautiful. It is not only a bath, but also a visual enjoyment.

A total of two large pools for men and women and several small pools were built.This is the current initial plan. If it is necessary to expand the benefits in the future, then it can be built on the surrounding hillsides.

After soaking in the hot spring for a while, everyone rushed to the town again, planning to find a high-end restaurant to have a meal.All of this was arranged by Fengyukou Village, and of course they paid for it. Zhang Taiping and the old village head just ran with them.

It is the current Chinese culture that things are decided at the dinner table.

During the meal, the town's duo promised a series of green lights.Of course, the leaders of Fengyukou Village may have promised something, but they didn't put it on the table.In the end everyone was happy.

The leaders at all levels can only be regarded as little ghosts, but little ghosts are difficult to deal with, and some things are often destroyed by little ghosts, so they have to be taken care of first.

It was already sunset by the time the town leader was delivered to the gate of the town government.

The leader of Fengyukou Village is not the head of the village, but he also looks quite rich and drives a car.When we went back, Zhang Taiping and the old village head were squeezed in the car.

The leader of the Fengyukou Village chatted with the old village chief before bringing the topic to Zhang Taiping.

"Is this handsome guy?"

Zhang Taiping seldom spoke along the way, just nodded.

"I've heard about the marshal, it's really amazing."

Zhang Taiping didn't know what he was talking about, so he didn't want to be rude, so he said with a smile: "It's nothing special."

A leader said: "Don't be humble, Commander. Everyone in our village knows your name now. The development of the hot spring will depend on the support of the Commander."

Zhang Taiping still didn't know why he made such a statement, so he could only smile and said: "Let's talk about the hot spring together, and our two villages will develop together."

Then they chatted again, and when they returned to the village, the moon was bright and the stars were thinning.

Cai Yazhi didn't ask how things were going, but asked, "Have you eaten yet? Shall I order some noodles for you?"

The fact that she is considerate is the most reassuring thing. She never asks about Zhang Taiping's affairs outside. In her opinion, if it is something that should be told to herself, Zhang Taiping should tell herself that she should not take the initiative to ask about what she should know. .What I am most concerned about is whether my husband has eaten or not.

When I was in the restaurant, I was mostly drinking and didn't eat much. After sitting in the car for more than an hour, I was really hungry now, so I nodded and said, "Well, let's order some noodles."

Cai Yazhi went down below, Zhang Taiping first looked for something to fill his stomach.

There is a large basin on the chopping board with a small basin under it, which contains shredded radish pulled out with vinegar.Zhang Taiping brought it out, took two pieces of pot helmets and ate them.

The radishes outside have just been planted in this season, so it is naturally impossible to have them. These radishes were taken out by Zhang Taiping from the space.When eaten raw, it is sweet and refreshing without any spicy taste.It is also good to eat cold, and it is a good dish to use with porridge.

When he finished the two pieces of pot helmets and half a pot of refreshing shredded radish, Cai Yazhi brought up a large bowl of hot noodles.On the top is a pile of chili peppers and minced green onions, with a layer of oil splashed on it, and two poached eggs of yellow and orange. It looks delicious even if you don’t eat it.

After passing the rice to Zhang Taiping, Cai Yazhi cleaned up the pot containing the shredded radish, and then sat on a bench next to Zhang Taiping.From time to time, he took a look at Zhang Taiping who was devouring, with tenderness flashing across his face from time to time.

Perhaps this is her greatest happiness. Cooking a bowl of hot noodles for her husband who came home late this night, and then accompanying her is the duty of a wife and a great happiness.

Zhang Taiping also enjoys the warmth between the two of them, which always makes him feel the warmth of home.

He sucked a chopstick of noodles and said, "Would you like some too?"

Cai Yazhi shook her head with a smile and said, "You can eat, I won't eat, I just had dinner not long ago."

Zhang Taiping didn't say anything, and quickly cleaned up the noodles in the bowl.What you eat is not just noodles, but also a deep friendship.

After finishing eating, Cai Yazhi cleared away the dishes, stood up and said, "The upper and lower sides of the sedan chair you mentioned today are good decorations, but what about the middle? Do you want to wrap the eight sides of the sedan chair with red cloth?"

Zhang Taiping circled around the sedan chair, then shook his head and said: "No need, you don't need to worry about the other aspects, the color of the wood is just right, it has a kind of antique meaning, when I have nothing to do, I will take care of it." Just carve some patterns on it. You just need to make a curtain at the front entrance, preferably with red cloth as the base material, and embroider dragons and phoenixes on it.”

Cai Yazhi nodded in response: "This is easy to make. If I do it with Lu Feng, it only takes two days to make it."

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "There's no need to be so anxious, it's fine when you have time."

There are not only three big dogs in the yard, but also Xiaojin and Xiaofeng who are defending in the air. The sedan chair is placed in the middle of the yard without worrying about anyone's thoughts.

After entering the room, Zhang Taiping asked, "Is there anything else?"

Cai Yazhi replied: "The glutinous rice has been soaked for three days, and I plan to fish it out and steam it now."

Zhang Taiping helped to fish out the glutinous rice soaked in the big basin, the long glutinous rice was bulging with soaking.Put a big steamer inside, put it on the big pot, and set up a charcoal fire under the pot.

"This time is not short, you go to rest first, I'll just stay here alone." Zhang Taiping said to Cai Yazhi.

"It's okay, I'm not dozing off, let's watch together." Cai Yazhi shook her head lightly and said.

Zhang Taiping didn't refuse any more, the two sat next to the pot, Cai Yazhi moved the bench closer and leaned against him.

The two of them seldom get along alone like this, and now the two hearts are close together, even if they don't speak, they can still feel a warm atmosphere lingering around them, lingering in their hearts.

For a moment, only the jumping flames reflected the red cheeks of the two of them, just like the prosperous days now.

"It's such a good day." Cai Yazhi, who rested her head on Zhang Taiping's arm, murmured bewilderedly while looking at the flickering red light.

Zhang Taiping heard what she said clearly, stretched out his hand to brush the loose hair on her forehead, didn't say anything, just hugged her body tightly in his arms.
