The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 50 Can a shelf car also be used as a long-distance transportation tool?
Under Song Yingkui's lobbying, Jia Xiangnan finally agreed to let him preside over the renovation project of his own water mill according to the latest design.

"Song Yingkui, in a few days I'm going to marry the Han family in the street." Building the mill for Jia's family, of course, the Jia family took care of the meals. Jia Guiling, the maid of Jia's family, said something nonsensical when delivering meals to Song Yingkui.

"What? Oh, you're going to marry the doll of the Han family soon? The Han family in the street is a rich man, and it would be nice to marry into his family." Although he didn't quite know what Jia Guiling meant when he said this, Song Yingkui could still feel a little unusual taste in his words.What should I do?I can only pretend to be stupid.

This girl Jia Guiling has been in frequent contact with Song Yingkui these days. The two families are neighbors now, and it is inevitable that there will be intersections.In terms of appearance, except for the black spots, it fits Song Yingkui's aesthetics quite well, with long legs and quick work, especially this girl's eyes have a kind of spirituality that is rarely seen in women of this era.However, she is already engaged, and judging from the girl's reaction, she may not like herself.

"That's right, Brother Xiao has already obtained the honor of a scholar. He is a rare handsome young man in ten miles and eight towns. Compared with him, your family is not good, you are still sloppy, and you have no future. You can only be a carpenter who can work." The girl spoke viciously and scolded Song Yingkui.

What are you doing?I didn't talk about marriage with you, is there any need to suddenly tell the truth?This girl feels sick in her head, could it be that his father told her some nonsense?

"Girl, let's have a good talk. How do you compare me with the Han doll? I won't live with you in the future! Whether the Han doll is good or not, what does it have to do with me?"

"Hmph, you never thought of me? When I was working outside a few days ago, what did you stick your head out of the shop to look at me? Don't pretend!" Jia Guiling stared at Song Yingkui and spoke with an expression that read through his mind.

Look, I did!Even in this life, he is a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. When he meets a girl with long eyes, he takes a few glances and feels a little twitching in his heart. What's the problem?But how can this be explained to people? "I saw that you work quickly and thought you were beautiful, so I took a few more glances."

Song Yingkui thought he had a clear conscience when he said this, but Jia Guiling blushed when he heard it. "Don't read it from now on. Although you look different from Brother Xiao, you are still not as good as Brother Xiao. I definitely don't like you."

After speaking, the girl of the Jia family left with an empty basket of rice.

baffling!Everything this girl said belittled Song Yingkui.But what kind of expression, but why does he look a little lost?
Chang Jun is still a talented man, and his family background is good. Is such a person destined to have a future?If there are no accidents, they will indeed have a future.However, compared with himself as a traveler, Song Yingkui felt that Jia Guiling's choice was not very wise.The girl looked at spirituality, but her vision is still not good!

I don't want these things anymore, let's fix the mill for the Jia family.A country girl is not worthy of the self-pity of an ambitious traveler.Whoever she marries will never have anything to do with her in the future. What is really worth investing a lot of energy in is to improve one's own strength. With strength, why would a man have no wife?

In mid-June, when Jia's mill was rebuilt, Song Yingkui received 12 taels of silver from Jia Xiangnan.It's good to have technology, and in less than a month, the money earned can already cover the investment in repairing the water saw that was paid from the family's account.

If someone could invite him to repair the water mill every month, Song Yingkui felt that he could easily make a fortune without doing anything else.However, this kind of thing can only be thought about. In the whole Yuyuan County, there are not many sets of water mills. How could Yueyue have such a job?

People who have no foresight must have near-term worries. The most worrying thing now is how this shop can expand its business and truly develop in a healthy way.After thinking about it, I just can't think of a good product.As a mechanical party, after traveling through the ancient times, I can't make a big-selling product. I feel really sorry for my profession, and it is confusing for the majority of travelers.People who don't know anything can make a lot of good things after traveling to ancient times. We travel with technology, but we can't make anything. What a failure!
"Is Carpenter Song here?" Just as Song Yingkui was silently blaming himself in the shop, a stranger riding a tall horse came to the yard.

The customer should have come to the door, Song Yingkui hurried out of the house, bowed and said, "Yes! I don't know what you want to order when you come to my shop?"

The visitor bowed back, and then replied: "I am Wang Jinxiong, the head of the Huichuan Jiaohu Gang, and I often take your business route in Wuying Town. Where are you coming today? I want to ask Carpenter Song to make fifty fashionable shelf cars for our Jiaohu Gang. I wonder if Dong Song's family can take over this job?"

The foot gang wants to order fifty vans?What do they want this thing for? "Boss Wang, the shelf cart is the household chores of ordinary people in the mountains doing farm work. I don't know what the Guijiao Gang wants to do with this thing? Could it be to use this kind of cart to travel long distances?"

"It's just to solicit goods, but Song Dong's family thinks there's something wrong?"

"The beams of the shelf cart are carried by people, so it's okay to take a short distance, but if you go a long distance, it will be very tiring. It's far less light than a horse-drawn cart. I'm afraid it's not suitable for carrying goods with your feet?"Song Yingkui didn't think it was realistic to carry a rack cart and carry goods for six or seven hundred miles.

"Treasurer Song! Logically speaking, a shelf cart is less convenient than a horse-drawn cart, but the roads we have traveled are basically mountain roads, and the horse-drawn cart is not easy to use. On the contrary, the shelf cart you made is suitable for use. A few days ago, one of our gangs had a footcar from your Wuying Town. That’s a lot. The mountain road we took was much faster than the horse-drawn carts on Sichuan Road. Should I say it or not, the cart made by your shop is indeed a good thing for our foot gang.”

After listening to Wang Jinxiong's explanation, Song Yingkui no longer wondered whether the rack car was suitable for long-distance transportation. Regardless of whether it was suitable, why should the door-to-door order be pushed out?As long as you can spend money, I will take over the job.

"Master Wang, my shop can naturally take on the work of fifty cars in your line, but the amount is so large, the speed will definitely be slower, but I don't know if you can wait. If you need it urgently, I suggest that you can find a few more carpenters to take this job. Anyway, I am not the only carpenter who can make shelf cars." Such a large order, Song Yingkui naturally wanted to eat it alone.But for other households, time is money, and they may not be able to wait in a hurry.So Song Yingkui's idea was to eat some of it for himself, and let them find other carpenters to do the rest.
