Villager of Daming

Chapter 248 Box Lunch Pushes New Cars for Sale (Second Update)
"Master Zhu, do you want lanterns? How many can I hang up for you?" The government servants from Shangyuan County pushed their carts to the door of the He Restaurant, and the leader asked the chief who was standing outside the door.

"We have our own beautiful glazed lamps, let's hang them up for others! Wait a minute."

The chief went in as he said, and brought Hanhan out after a while. He held a watermelon by himself, and Hanhan supported each other.

"Eat a mouthful of watermelon." The chief put the watermelon on the car.

"Yo! Chief Zhu is being polite, we have taken advantage of Qiucun." The leading yamen servant happily cupped his hands.

"If you don't eat it, it will go bad after a long time." The head of the village waved his hand, and the servants continued to hang the lanterns.

"Nanjing is even more beautiful this year." The chief said to Hanhan.

According to the news from Zhu Xi and Zhu Biao, this year the palace paid for people to make lanterns and sent them to various places in Nanjing.

The palace has money, and wants the people to witness the prosperous Ming Dynasty together, and find a job for the people by the way, tie lanterns, paste paper of various colors, and pay wages.

Hang it up now, and then light it up on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There will also be officially organized lantern-laying activities on the Qinhuai River.

"There are so many festivals in a year, it always feels like a few days! It's just a festival."

The chief looked at the shopping line diagonally opposite, shook his head, and pulled Hanhan in.

At noon, people who eat box lunches rushed over and lined up in an orderly manner. No one dared to make trouble. Even those who came from other places to find a way to survive would be warned that they must be honest when they came to Xiaqiu Village.

These people did not dare to be dishonest. The content of the guide they opened was to visit relatives. In fact, they had no relatives. The wages of working in Nanjing were high, and after working for a year or so, they were better than the people around them.

The premise is that you must live frugally, and the consumption in Nanjing is higher than that in other places.

I didn't have a place to live, so I took my bedding and found a corner sheltered from the wind at night, and a few or a dozen people huddled together to rest.

No matter how hot the weather is, you can lie down anywhere, the riverside is the best, and you can wash your face, and take a bath at night when there are no women.

Of course, the place that sells boxed lunches is the most cost-effective place to eat. There are several dishes to choose from, and the money is low.

People who do hard work spend two pennies to buy three of the worst cooking cakes, and another penny to buy pickles that can last for a few days, and they can't get enough.

The vegetables in the lunch box are fried with oil, and a bowl of soup is also given. Normally, you can eat [-]% full, but this is almost enough. After eating for a while, I can’t do my work.

As a result, there are not enough places to eat in the box restaurant. Those who come first have a place, and those who come later find a place to eat, squat or stand.

Some people even finished their purchases here, brought them to the pier to eat, and waited for work while eating, asking the people in the store to press the rice hard, and try to pack as much food as possible, so that they don’t have to run back to add more.

When work is over, take the tableware back to the store, no one will hide it secretly, let alone throw it away.

Someone is watching it, so why don't you use it after hiding it?If you throw it, you will be beaten first if you are caught.

There are even people at the wharf who are willing to deliver tableware for everyone. The tableware for dozens of people is packed into a trolley and pushed to the box restaurant.

The box restaurant will give away things every time, even if the sender doesn't want it, they just want to maintain the store.

Everyone who comes here to eat knows that the shop in Xiaqiu Village is closed as soon as it is closed, and there is no hope of making money selling boxed meals.

"There are more and more people, so open another branch?" The head of the village and Hanhan went into the tent to put salt water for the bees, and found that the number of people eating boxed meals had nearly doubled.

"We have to recruit apprentices. We can't put all our manpower on it. At that time, we don't need to open branches, and send people to push carts to sell everywhere.

People who can come to our restaurant to eat don't need to sit down to eat. In the past, we worked in the fields in the village and didn't eat breakfast. The family made it and sent it to the field.

Who moved the table and stools to the ground at that time?Just eat like that, and they all survived. "

Zhu Wentian said while squatting down to pick a cucumber that was about to fall to the ground. If the seeds were not saved, it would not be allowed to continue growing.

The cucumbers that are reserved are the bottom ones. They usually grow big and feel good. Use a straw rope or something to mark the seedlings so that they cannot be picked.

"It's true, it's convenient for both parties to find someone to sell in the place where other people work." The village chief found out that the simple way is better.

……

Outside the Donghua Gate, Zhu Biao carted people to pick up food, staring at the tent group in a daze.

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

As a result, the craftsman said that there was no problem in other aspects, but the clockwork couldn't make it, whether it was iron or steel, it just couldn't do it.

When he regretted that he never took the child's toy, and then saw a person pedaling in front of the car today, and the car moved along the track.

He ensured that he could see clearly, the feet of the kicker didn't land on the ground, so what is this?
"His Royal Highness is here? We are just about to eat." The village elder said hello when he saw Zhu Biao arrived.

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

"The prince asked about chains and flywheels? Isn't that why we built a workshop similar to the one in the village not too far away!
According to the drawings provided by someone, build a human-driven car.Look, Your Highness, is it more convenient than pushing and pulling?
The flywheel sleeve bearing is connected to the chain, and this side of the chain is also a flywheel sleeve bearing. People can move forward as long as they pedal.

It’s easier than walking, there’s no other way, people in Xiaqiu Village are getting lazy, it’s only a few steps, alas..."

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

The workshop is placed two miles away, on the south side of the tent area, the sound of blacksmithing does not disturb people, and now there is a lot of movement in the imperial city during the day, and the palace is being built!

"Thank you, Grandpa Six, for your advice. Eat first, and I will go and have a look." Zhu Biao walked over there.

The track is laid from Chaoyangmen to this side, and then to the workshop. The loading and unloading speed is fast. In the past, people used ropes to pull it in front, just like pulling fibers.

I actually changed it today, all because of laziness.

He waited a while, riding back from the workshop over there, and the mine cart compartment behind was filled with people working in the workshop, and came back to eat.

When approaching the front, the cyclist wrapped his hands around a pole under the handlebar, and the outer layer of leather on the wheel was close to the inner side of the wheel, then slid forward a little distance, and stopped.

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

"Hello, Your Highness the Crown Prince." "Your Highness is coming!"

The people in the car jumped out of the car and greeted Zhu Biao one after another. They stopped kneeling and just bowed slightly.

"Not in a hurry to eat, tell us how to stop? Is it different from what we pushed?" Zhu Biao found a problem.

"His Royal Highness, what you are pushing is a pad brake, but now you are using a rim brake, and there is another type that is placed on the shaft, called a hub brake.

The first type is inconvenient to use on this car, and the last type has a great impact on the axle. Our axle is expensive. As long as the inner ring of the rim brake is smooth, it will work well. "

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

"Let's try." Zhu Biao observed for a while, stepped on one side of the pedal, which felt similar to a stirrup, and rode on with one leg, and couldn't turn the handle, so he rode forward.

Go to the front position and someone will help you turn the switch, otherwise you will go to Donghua Gate. This track is connected to the Prince's Mansion. After turning the switch, you will go straight forward. There is a steering wheel.

The car went in, Zhu Biao stopped, someone helped to turn, and he rode towards the workshop again.
