Chapter 296 The Sled Appears

Seeing Cang Hai's surprised face, Shi Wei opened her mouth and asked, "Why did you come back so quickly?"

Cang Hai smiled and said, "It's not too early to come back, why don't I go out for a stroll?"

Just as Shi Wei was about to say something, when she saw Shi Jie following in, her face suddenly froze, and she opened her mouth and said, "You won't get any results if you come here to grind, first write down the plan and then talk about other things, otherwise we won't talk about it." !"

Now Shi Jie feels that he is almost as frozen as the ice edge outside, and he can hardly feel any warmth all over his body. He opened his mouth and did not answer his sister's question, but began to complain about the weather here in Zhoujiaping: "What the hell is the weather here, why is it so cold?"

"It's useless to change the subject," Shi Wei said lightly.

Shi Jie glanced at his sister, took out a thin plan book from the arms of his military coat, and then held it in both hands and handed it to Shi Wei: "Please read it!"

Cang Hai saw that the siblings were about to start to toss again, so he said, "I'll go and put the ugly donkey back in the barn."

After speaking, he turned and left the kitchen.

Leading the ugly donkey down the slope, just after putting the ugly donkey back into the barn, Cang Hai found that there were a few more pack horses in the barn. The strong and strong pack horses looked very heavy, but they were very strong and strong. Like a pile of meat.

Generally speaking, the legs of horses are thin, but these pack horses are different. The legs of the horses are twice as thick as ordinary horses, and the horseshoes are very large, almost twice the size of ordinary horseshoes, like a sea bowl turned upside down on the ground.

Cang Hai looked curiously at the pack horses in the barn, and prepared to turn back home with doubts.

After leaving the barn, Cang Hai met Li Liren who was coming over wrapped in a military overcoat, and opened his mouth to ask about the pack horses: "Second Grandpa, why are there so many strong pack horses in this barn? Have you switched to horse racing?"

Li Liren laughed and said, "Where are these horses from the village? They belong to Zhang Jiusheng's transport team. Isn't it snowing here now? The tricycles are gone, so your godfather Zhang Jiusheng came up with this one." Trick: horse-drawn sled! This is fast and safe, and the transportation volume of a sled is better than one and a half tricycles."

"Hey, this kid has a lot of evil ideas." Cang Hai said with a smile after hearing this, thought for a while and asked, "Where is the sled?"

"It's placed in front of their door. If you want to see it, go and see it. I think I'll get one in two days. I watched them play in the snow today. It's really much better than a wheeled car." Li Liren smiled and stretched out his finger.

Cang Hai became curious, chatted with Li Liren for a while, and walked directly to the kiln at the east entrance of the village. After a few minutes, Cang Hai came to the place where the sled was placed, and saw Zhang Jiusheng's two kiln entrances in a mess There are six sleds, which are quite big, and each sled is about the size of Cang Hai's cart.

In other words, it is almost equivalent to six support pillars protruding from the bottom of the cart frame. Every five wooden pillars are connected to a large sled board with a width of nearly [-] centimeters and two ends upturned. The length of each board is about two meters.

The most important thing is that the whole sled still uses hard shafts, that is to say, when the two curved wooden hard shafts protruding from the sleigh cart are put on the animals, the cart and the animals are tightly fixed together. If it is a soft shaft, there is no problem for the animal to go uphill, as long as the animal pulls it.

But if you go downhill, it will be troublesome, because the soft shaft is not strenuous, and you must go up and down to pull the sleigh. People with big carts like this must not have so much strength, and they have to rely on the animals to keep pushing behind them. Pedal, in order to control the body.

While watching, Cang Hai patted the body of the sled, and said to himself: "Zhang Jiusheng is so clever, I never thought he could play like this."

Thinking about how difficult it would be for the ugly donkey to go downhill when going back to the village, now Cang Hai couldn't wait to get a big sled back by himself, but Cang Hai didn't even think about whether the ugly donkey was capable of pulling such a big sled. If the ugly donkey couldn't pull it, the pack horses in the barn couldn't.

While Cang Hai was looking at the sleigh, the kiln door opened, and an old man in his sixties whom Cang Hai didn't know came out.

"What are you doing?" the old man asked Cang Hai warily.

Cang Hai smiled and said: "It's nothing, just look at your sled, it's doing pretty well."

Before the old man could answer, a human voice came from the kiln: "Old Yu, don't be so nervous, no one steals in the village."

The person who spoke walked out of the kiln, saw Cang Hai standing outside the door and said with a smile: "So it's Boss Cang, you're back, how are things going?"

"It's all done in a few days, just get ready to pick up the goods," Cang Hai replied.

"Who thought of your sled?" Cang Hai asked again after finishing speaking.

The man replied: "Old Yang in the team thought about it. Didn't the tricycle transport the vegetables yesterday morning? The car overturned three times on the road. Fortunately, no one was injured. Everyone gathered the vegetables and left. The boss along the way One phone call on the left and one phone call on the right. I was afraid that we would not be able to arrive in the city at noon, so Lao Yang gave the boss a suggestion, saying that the tricycle is not good enough, it is better to use a sled, so everyone was in the town yesterday afternoon Changed the sled, and Lao Yu was invited by the boss, and he came here as our coach, teaching us how to drive the sled.”

Cang Hai nodded after hearing this, and after humming a few times, he remembered the pack horse in the barn, and asked again: "Where did the pack horse in the barn come from? It doesn't seem to be our Northwest horse, nor is it like our domestic horse".

"Good eyesight!" The man said with a smile: "The boss snatched this from a friend's horse farm. He said it took a few days to use it, but I guess that this winter he won't even want to see these draft horses of his. It is said that these pack horses are worth more than 200 million. Good guy, each of them can fix several domestic pack horses, but the strength is really great. Have you seen those big thick legs? Plus those big hooves, to be honest The sled is fast and stable, and you don’t feel much going downhill, and the horseshoes are also equipped with snow palms, which is very stable... ".

Listening to this man praising these pack horses, Cang Hai nodded with a smile. Our domestic horse breeding can be said to be too poor. Good horses were produced in ancient times, and they were almost always gelded and sent to the asses of princes and ministers in the first place. The good horses are gelding, so there is no mention of breeding horses and not breeding horses. The horse breeding technology is valued among the second-rate horses. Occasionally, a good horse is produced and then it is settled. For example, the famous red rabbit in history is a lie. It is estimated that horse breeding began to develop slowly after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. In fact, there is still a gap compared with foreign countries in terms of the types of horses and their ability. This must be admitted. We are not as good and sophisticated as Westerners.

After chatting with this one for a while, Cang Hai bid farewell and went home. On the way, Cang Hai thought about getting such a sled to play with. He didn't say anything else, only that the snow was more stable and less labor-intensive than a wheeled car. It is worthy of Cang Hai's concern.

When I returned to the kitchen, I found that there were only Wu Hui and Ping An in the kitchen, and Shi Wei and the others were gone, so I asked, "Ping An, where are those people?"

Ping An said with a smile: "They are all in the kiln. My sister-in-law is very dissatisfied with the books made by her brother. When I went there just now, I saw my sister-in-law grabbing her brother by the ear and scolding him."

After saying oh, Cang Hai raised the curtain to go out, but suddenly put down the curtain and came back: "What's for dinner tonight?"

Wu Hui said: "A big fish was boiled, and then a pot of rice was steamed".

Speaking of Wu Hui opened the pot, Cang Hai stretched his head to take a look, then gave Wu Hui a thumbs up in satisfaction, the big fish must not be put into the pot whole, but cut into palm-sized pieces, Stretching his head to take a look, Cang Hai visually estimated that the big fish weighed about ten catties.Such a big fish plus fish soup is sure to be enough to fill everyone's stomach.

"Brother Hai, go get everyone over for dinner," Wu Hui said to Cang Hai.

Cang Hai hummed, opened the curtain and went out, came to the entrance of the kiln, opened the thick cloth curtain, and saw Shi Wei talking about Shi Jie.

Yan Li is obviously used to this kind of scene, like a normal person, she is playing with Mengmeng now, two people, one big and one small, are playing the game of snapping blocks, that kind of small square wooden sticks Stack them together, and then pull out the wooden sticks one by one. Whoever pulls out the pile of wood in the end will be considered a loser.

"Stop talking, let's eat," Cang Hai said to the people in the room.

Shi Jie immediately cheered up when he heard it: "Eat, eat!"

Shi Wei glared at her younger brother, Shi Jie immediately became honest, and sat back on the sofa with a bitter face.

Seeing that Shi Jie was being honest, Shi Wei opened her mouth and said, "Let's go eat."

When Shi Jie heard the amnesty, he jumped out of the sofa like a frightened rabbit, and ran towards the kitchen.

Seeing Shijie running so fast, Li Meng was very happy. The little girl thought that everyone was rushing to eat today, so she immediately yelled: "Oh, let's eat, let's eat!"

He opened his short legs, ran towards the door with his hands raised in the air, and when Mengmeng moved, the iron head next to him also became excited, and imitated Mengmeng's way and ran towards the door with his hands raised.The slick guy is always stupid, how could he miss this kind of performance, barking and running towards the door with his big fat buttocks twisting.

Good guy, suddenly Cang Hai felt as if he saw the scene of the African cattle migration.

"Be careful, what to do if you hit it!" Cang Hai shouted at Mengmeng.

It's a pity that Cang Hai's words had no deterrent effect at all, and the little girl ran out in a blink of an eye.

Yan Li said hello to Cang Hai and went out, and Shi Wei and Cang Hai were left in the room almost instantly.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Cang Hai stretched out his hand to hold Shi Wei in his arms: "It's almost enough, this kid can be considered serious if he didn't sleep all night."

Shi Wei took a look at Cang Hai, bent down and picked up the plan made by her younger brother on the table, and took a picture of Cang Hai's arms: "Look at it yourself, what is it written in?".

Cang Hai let go of Shi Wei, picked it up and flipped through it, and after reading a few pages, he was happy, and thought: This kid is really uneducated, what the hell is he writing about!

As far as Shi Jie’s plan is concerned, most of the whole text is boasting, talking about Qian Jing of some Internet cafe, and the second half is flattering, fiercely flattering his sister, the words are written in such a way that Cang Hai is embarrassed to read .

Seeing the smile on Cang Hai's face, Shi Wei was a little annoyed: "You're still smiling!"

"In fact, for those who have never done it, it is not bad to be able to do it like this. At least the number of words is enough. The eloquent words are almost [-] words. Look, there are pictures and tables, so just wait and see."

"Is this money to be borrowed or not?" Shi Wei asked.

Cang Hai said: "Let's borrow it. Even if the Internet cafe is a loss, how can it be lost? It's a good thing for the two of them to stay in the whole place and do some things. Otherwise, it will be a headache to go out all day." .

Shi Wei nodded after hearing this, and said with a hum: "You can borrow, but you can't borrow that much, 25, you go to eat first, and I will draw up a contract."

When Cang Hai heard that, he immediately grabbed Shi Wei's shoulders, and led her to the door: "Eat, eat first, anyway, your brother can't run away, after eating, you siblings are tossing hard."

After hearing Cang Hai's words, Shi Wei felt that it made sense, so she honestly walked towards the door by Cang Hai's arms, and it was only a few steps away from the door. After the curtain went out, the two of them put on straight faces and entered the kitchen.

Ps: It's still the old time to continue the third watch.
