Chapter 296 Bicycles
Cheng Wenliu asked Cheng Jinyang to stay in Jiangning County for a day or two longer, and invited him to eat all the delicacies in Jiangning County.
The signature dishes of Jufulou, the delicious snacks that are fragrant for ten miles, and the delicious mutton that Yiyang eats all come into Cheng Jinyang's stomach. Now he finally understands why the group of boys in the family never forget Jiangning County. A small county town is delicious. There are more food than the whole Liaotai County, next time he must bring Fu Lang to eat it all.
After staying in Jiangning County for a total of four days, Cheng Jinyang took the first batch of mirrors and ready-made distorting mirrors on board and returned to Liaotai County. This trip to Jiangning County was very satisfying from heart to stomach.
Cheng Jinyang was sent away, and a lot of orders were left behind. The glass kiln was so busy that Boss Lan was happy to see his teeth but not his eyes every day, and secretly regarded Cheng Wenliu and Lin Xiazhi as his gods of wealth in his heart.
He knew how capable he was, and he could only make a lot of money if he hugged the Cheng family tightly.
As soon as Cheng Jinyang left, Liu Xiaoniu, a carpenter of the Cheng family, cheerfully carried his polished bicycle to Cheng's house.
"Liu Xiaoniu, how do you use this bicycle?" Cheng Wenliu looked at the big wooden bump in confusion.
Liu Xiaoniu pointed to the bicycle he made little by little and introduced: "Second young master, this is a pedal. After stepping on the pedal, it drives the wheels to spin. You see, and then quickly sit on this cushion, and you can go straight when you step on the pedal with both feet. Ride forward."
Liu Xiaoniu couldn't speak clearly, and Cheng Wenliu couldn't understand it even more, so he asked Liu Xiaoniu to demonstrate it for himself.
Liu Xiaoniu has ridden countless times when he was making bicycles. At the beginning, when the bicycle was not perfect, he rode it once and fell once. He has already perfected his bicycle riding skills.
Step on the pedal to drive the wheel of the bicycle to rotate, step on the bicycle with the other foot, step on the pedal with both feet and push forward alternately, and the bicycle starts to move.
Cheng Wenliu was heartbroken, and said to Liu Xiaoniu, "Let me try, young master."
"Wait a minute." Just now Lin Xiazhi watched silently, Cheng Wenliu said that he wanted to ride before speaking.
"What happened to Brother Xia?"
"What are the arrangements for the second young man?"
Both Cheng Wenliu and Liu Xiaoniu looked back at him.
Seeing Lin Xiazhi standing up, Cheng Wenliu's heart skipped a beat, "Brother Xia, you are already five months pregnant, so you can't mess around."
Lin Xiazhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you thinking about? I asked you to change into some light clothes. It's not good to ride a bicycle in such a robe."
"Okay, I'll change clothes." Cheng Wenliu breathed a sigh of relief, "Liu Xiaoniu, take care of the second young husband carefully."
Cheng Wenliu said it was to take care of him, but in fact he wanted Liu Xiaoniu to pay attention not to let Xia Geer have a chance to touch the bicycle. The bicycle was proposed by Xia Geer, and he was afraid that Xia Geer would ride it on a whim.
Liu Xiaoniu probably understood what Cheng Wenliu meant: "Second young master, don't worry, I understand."
Cheng Wenliu was worried that Liu Xiaoniu's clumsy mouth would not be able to persuade Lin Xiazhi, so he went back to the yard in three steps and two steps to change into his usual boxing training clothes, and then hurried back to the open space where the bicycle was placed.
When he came back, the bicycle was put aside, and Lin Xiazhi was explaining the tricycle to Liu Xiaoniu with a piece of paper.
Once the bicycle is made, the tricycle is not difficult. Liu Xiaoniu understood the structure of combining the bicycle and the bullock cart, so he said he would go back and try to make one.
Cheng Wenliu relaxed, and happily tried to ride a bicycle according to Liu Xiaoniu's method.
Because Cheng Wenliu learned boxing from a martial artist since he was a child, his body is flexible, and he fell off the bike because he failed to grasp his balance twice before, which further aroused his enthusiasm for cycling.
After thinking about riding a bicycle seriously, I can stumble and ride it in a short while. Once I know how to ride this thing, I won't fall again.
Cheng Wenliu stepped on the pedals and rode forward, turned around and yelled at Lin Xiazhi: "Xia Geer, Xia Geer! Look, I can ride a bicycle. This bicycle is really interesting!"
"Yeah, watch the road carefully." Lin Xiazhi echoed a few words, so that he would not be greedy for this bicycle.
All parts of this wooden lump are very rough, and the wheels are made of wood without rubber. As long as the road is slightly uneven, it will definitely hurt your butt when riding.
Cheng Wenliu's cymbals came back to cymbals, he is indeed quite talented, he can ride a bicycle very well in just three or two strokes, and it is fun to show some tricks.
The ghost knows how he managed to lift his head on such a heavy wooden bicycle. It can't be seen that this guy has such great strength.
After playing for a while, Cheng Wenliu was finally willing to get off the bicycle. The weather in early summer was not too hot, but he was sweating profusely.
Wiping his sweat with a towel, Cheng Wenliu smacked his mouth twice: "It's a pity, the second cousin left early and couldn't ride a bicycle. It would be great if he left two days later."
Lin Xiazhi listened to it and thought it was funny: "I think the second cousin should leave early. If he hears you talking so much and sees such interesting things two days later, this one can't be taken away, and he can't take it away. I am so angry that I am fighting you for three hundred rounds."
"Just hit it, I'm afraid he won't succeed." Cheng Wenliu flicked his head and showed Lin Xiazhi gesticulating.
Lin Xiazhi looked amused: "Okay, I'm sweating all over, I asked someone to bring hot water to our yard, you go take a shower and change your clothes, I want to discuss other things with Liu Xiaoniu, don't stand here on."
"Alright, I'll be right back." Cheng Wenliu waved at Lin Xiazhi exaggeratedly.
After Cheng Wenliu left, Lin Xiazhi continued to discuss with Liu Xiaoniu. The tricycle was not finished yet. Lin Xiazhi asked Liu Xiaoniu to talk about the specific method of bicycles. After listening to Lin Xiazhi, he gave some suggestions for improving bicycles.
Lin Xiazhi's comments were related to earthquake resistance. For example, he brought up the idea of springs and suggested that the parts that wear out quickly inside the bicycle should be replaced with iron ones.
After hearing this, Liu Xiaoniu admired Er Shaofulang completely. How could he come up with so many good ideas? With these ideas, if he couldn't make the bicycle and tricycle that Er Shaofulang wanted, he would be sorry for Er Shaofulang's cultivation. .
When Cheng Wenliu came over after taking a shower and changing clothes, what he saw was Liu Xiaoniu talking to Lin Xiazhi with eyes full of admiration.
Lin Xiazhi didn't notice Cheng Wenliu's little mood. He told Liu Xiaoniu to leave, and took out another piece of paper with a strange tree drawn on it.
Beckoning Cheng Wenliu to come and sit down, Lin Xiazhi handed him the painting: "Wen Liu, I don't know what this tree is called. I saw it in a miscellaneous book, and it said that when the bark was cut open, a kind of Liquid, this kind of liquid is called rubber when it dries, and it is very elastic. I thought that the wooden wheels of a bicycle could not withstand the vibration. It can reduce the vibration and make it more comfortable to ride, see if you can find this kind of tree.”
"It's so miraculous, then I'll order someone to inquire about it when I go to the south." Cheng Wenliu had no doubts that his husband read a lot of things in miscellaneous books, and they were all true.
"This kind of tree grows in very hot places, and the places further south are very hot all year round. If we can find it, we can get more rubber. Rubber can be used on the wheels of carriages and chariots. It can be sealed." Lin Xiazhi stuck the shell, "Sealing doesn't mean the one that produces honey, let me explain to you, for example, a jar, with a rubber ring in the lid, after the lid is closed, the air will not go in, which can prevent The contents are damp and rotten."
In Lin Xiazhi's memory, it seems that the rubber tree was imported from South America. I don't know if there is any rubber in the south. If he can't find it, he will think of another way.
Cheng Wenliu listened to Lin Xiazhi's words and made arrangements. Lin Xiazhi was bored at home. He took a convex lens and a concave lens and climbed up to a small second-floor attic. He aligned the two mirrors and adjusted them into a telescope to see the distant scenery.
It took me a long time to find the right angle, and I looked at it with interest for a while, but when I got tired of looking at it, Lin Xiazhi felt a little frustrated. How should I tell the county magistrate about this?
In the past, Lin Xiazhi belonged to the Lin family, so he either let Lin Chengzu and Lin Huzi come forward, or borrowed the mouth of Lin Chengzong, a scholar. Now that he is married and has become the husband of the Cheng family, and the Cheng family and the glass kiln are cooperating in glass, it is impossible to let Lin Chengzu go explain.
If the Cheng family is allowed to come forward, Lin Xiazhi may be exposed.
When Lin Xiazhi was struggling with these things, the county magistrate had already guessed. When Liaotai County Magistrate wrote a letter with Lishui County Chief, he mentioned the sand table, and Lishui County Chief told Jiang Ning about it. County magistrate, let Jiangning county magistrate pay more attention to the Lin family and the Cheng family, especially the brother of the Lin family who is now the husband of the Cheng family. I hope Lin Xiazhi can surprise them again.
After struggling again and again, Lin Xiazhi decided to tell Cheng Wenliu that if the county magistrate asked him, he would say that he had read it in a miscellaneous book, and if he insisted on killing him, the county magistrate would not treat him as a monster and lock him up or burn him on fire.
After figuring it out, Lin Xiazhi asked Cheng Wenliu to focus with two pieces of glass.
With the adjustment of the distance angle, the blurred vision became clearer and clearer, and Cheng Wenliu's mouth opened wider and wider. When he stood on the attic and could clearly see the people on the street, his mouth opened to the maximum.
Lin Xiazhi pinched his chin and shook it twice: "Don't drop your chin to the ground."
Cheng Wenliu looked around, then gently put the glass back on the table, turned around and said excitedly to Lin Xiazhi: "Brother Xia, why are you so calm, listen to my heartbeat, oh my god, am I here right now? In a dream, I can see clearly from such a long distance?"
After staying with him for so long, Cheng Wenliu learned to use the word "calmness" again. Lin Xiazhi stretched out his right hand without hesitation, and pinched Cheng Wenliu's ear: "Does it hurt?"
"Aw!" Unprepared, pinching a little bit of flesh was more painful than twisting a whole piece of flesh. He covered his ears and took several steps back, "It hurts!"
