Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 706: The topic suddenly turned to childbirth

If you want to make a scooter in this era, the first thing that is difficult is the axle.

Without the axle, everything is bullshit.

But Mr. Hu decided to be extravagant.

Without the axle, the only thing that happens is that the wear and tear is a little greater.

So scared!
It’s not like we can’t afford to replace parts!
At worst, we can just make more and replace them when the time comes.

So, the trouble lies with the tires.

This was actually the first thing that Mr. Hu thought of.

There is no rubber!
You can't just let the wooden wheel roll on the ground, right?
But Master Hu once again resorted to the method of spending money.

Without natural rubber, is it possible that I can’t get Eucommia ulmoides?

Although Eucommia ulmoides was only used as medicine in this era, Mr. Hu knew it clearly.

Eucommia gum can be extracted from the bark and fruit of Eucommia ulmoides.

Eucommia gum is a substitute for natural rubber.

Fortunately, Mr. Hu was able to purchase a large amount of Eucommia ulmoides glue with just a wave of his hand.

At the same time, he also knows clearly how to shape it!

Therefore, the tire problem is solved!
As for the frame, what does that count for?
It's just a little carpentry work, what's the problem?

Could it be that Mr. Hu's mansion is still short of this little bit of wood?
So, while asking people to purchase Eucommia ulmoides according to his instructions and start boiling glue according to his arrangements, Master Hu also started building the frame.

The frame is designed to be slightly taller than Yaya's height.

After all, children aged four or five grow fast. Wouldn’t it be frustrating if the toy became unusable after a few months?
For Mr. Hu, things like the handlebars and the frame are not a difficult task.

The most important tires couldn't be simpler.

Master Hu can just arrange for Tiemu to take over.

This material determines that this tire can definitely withstand daily use.

After all, how much does the little girl weigh?

Master Hu also put two layers of iron sleeves on the bearings of the frame and wheels.

One layer is wrapped around the axle connected to the wheels, and the other layer is stuck in the sleeve of the frame as a protective cover.

After all, the coefficient of friction between metals is much smaller than that between wood.

At the same time, the wear resistance is much higher.

After solving the most difficult problem, making a scooter is really easy.

Even so, I still spent a lot of time on carving!

Otherwise it can be faster!
Just at noon, a small and compact scooter appeared in front of Yaya.

Master Hu didn't get Yaya a two-wheeler, he directly got her a three-wheeler.

In his opinion, it was just a toy for the child, not something meant to cultivate balance or something like that.

There's no need for two wheels.

Three-wheeled ones are much safer.

Then, Yaya stood on the scooter happily.

With just two wheels, she was able to skillfully use this cart that squeaks when it runs.

Please forgive the four-year-old child's articulation, but in her mouth, the scooter immediately becomes a flatbed cart.

However, this does not prevent Yaya from liking this kind of cart that can make people go at lightning speed with just two footsteps.

For a moment, Yaya’s crisp laughter could be heard throughout the courtyard of Hujiazhuang.

Mr. Hu, who was covered in sawdust and didn't even bother to take a pat, just watched Yaya riding her scooter around the yard with a smile on her face.

"Master, you really love this little girl!"

Nana stood beside Master Hu and sighed softly, but her words sounded a little sour.

Mr. Hu answered casually without even turning his head.

"Well, as a master, I actually like my daughter the most!" "After all, my daughter is caring, while my son is useless except for carrying on the family line!"

"So, how can we not feel bad for having such a good daughter?"

Nana looked at Master Hu in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"Do you think daughters are better than sons?"

Mr. Hu knew why Nana was surprised.

After all, in the eyes of most people, favoring boys over girls is normal.

Only a man can carry on the family line and bring honor to the family.

But Master Hu nodded as a matter of course.

"Of course!"

"Our family has come to this point now, what else do we need to bring honor to our family?"

"What more big steps are needed?"

"Since these are no longer necessary, then you can do whatever you like!"

"As for me, I just like girls!"

"My daughter is so thoughtful. Look at Yue'er. Even though she is the Crown Princess now, she still cares about her parents' home and me, the master!"

"He's much better than that rebellious son. Just looking at him makes me angry!"

Nana looked at Mr. Hu's serious expression and rationally believed that what he said was true.

But emotionally, she really found it hard to believe that there are people in this world who favor girls over boys.

However, since they were talking about this matter, Nana finally couldn't help it and asked the question that she had been holding back for a long time.

"Then... Master, when will you let us have a few more children?"

"My sisters may not be as beautiful as the emperor, but they are at least first-rate beauties!"

"Master, you are handsome and tall. If you give birth to a daughter, wouldn't she be even prettier and smarter?"

Nana is also a smart person. She knows how to find out information in a roundabout way.

However, this is what these people really care about the most.

Especially after they had lived in the Hu Mansion for a few years, they felt more and more that they should have a child.

Having a child would make them complete.

Especially now that Yaya has joined, they have been deeply stimulated.

If he could love an adopted daughter so much, then even if he was a concubine, the children born to him would logically be illegitimate sons and daughters.

But if I can love my adopted daughter, why shouldn’t I love my own daughter too?
Unless you have raised an ungrateful child or the child is exceptionally naughty, Master Hu will certainly not ignore it.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful then?

Therefore, Nana took this opportunity and spoke immediately.

When Nana spoke, the eyes of the other women who were standing silently on the side immediately fell on Master Hu.

For them, the only thing they have some regrets in their lives is their children.

Everything else, no more!

So it would be strange if they were not in a hurry.

Master Hu glanced at Nana, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"You are only twenty years old now, so you can have children!"

"Well, Master, I promise you that you can all have a child by the age of twenty-four, how about that?"

All the concubines finally heard the news from Master Hu, and they immediately knelt down without caring about anything and shouted in unison.

"Thank you, sir!"

Looking at the excited expressions of the women, Master Hu sighed silently.

Sin!
However, if I really want to have a few children, it doesn't seem impossible! (End of this chapter)
