Chapter 109 New Carriage

"..." Just as he was about to reply, his expression suddenly changed and he said, "Someone's coming for me." No matter what happens, you can't come out, you know? ' Guo Yang and Guo Fei nodded in agreement. The machine stooped to pick up the head, opened the door, and flew out into the trees, hiding among the leaves. Who was this person? Why did the mountain's expression change so drastically? If you want to know what happened after that, then listen to the next part. "

"Pa!" Another shocking sound was heard.

At this moment, all the customers recovered from the story and could not help but feel that time passed too quickly.

Nie Heng and Mu Chen looked at each other in shock. They had heard about the countless of books, but this was the first time they heard about it so attentively.

One of the guests shouted in dissatisfaction, "Mr. Lin, today we have too little to talk about this. Let's talk about it a bit more. It's not easy for us to come all the way here! "

"That's right, Mr. Lin. It's still early. Let's talk a little more!"

"Mister Lin ??"

Seeing this situation, how could Lin Qiang not understand that today's storytelling was extremely successful. He was extremely excited and did not dare to show it on his face. Clasping his fists, he said, "Everyone, please leave early tomorrow, please!"

The protest began again.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia slipped out while no one was looking.

"I originally thought that Lin Qiang would be a little afraid of the stage, but I didn't expect that this brat's performance would be so good." "It seems like I really do have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering things!" Qin Mian held his hands behind his back and strided forward. He raised his head and glanced at Lei Tia with a smug smile on his face, "Is that so?"

Lei Tia nodded.

"If Lin Qiang doesn't have any problems, then Ye Fengqiu shouldn't have any problems either." After being on tenterhooks for a long time, Qin Mian was finally tired, "Let's go home after we've gathered all the money we have today?"

"Take your time and go back to the woodwork shop to change cars." Lei Tia said, "Old cars are not easy to use."

He was not a professional carpenter. He had used the carriage too often. The wooden planks would often loosen up, and if he shook it more, it might fall apart. Repairing often is also a nuisance.

"Sure." Since he wanted to do it, then he might as well make the best one. "I'll tell you in detail when we get back to the lounge." Qin Mian had another idea. He pushed him on the back and urged him to leave, returning to the Rest House.

The main problem with ancient carriages was that their wheels were not very effective because they were either made of wood or iron and had no tires. And the basic function of the tire is to cushion the vibration. It was one thing if the road was flat, but if they met an uneven road, then sitting on the carriage would cause one's internal organs to tremble and change their position. Qin Mian thought that he could get rubber from the rubber tree. Rubber trees like high temperature, high humidity, still wind and fertile soil, belongs to the subtropical plants. As far as he knew, the climate of Qingshan Village was more like the climate of central China, with no rubber trees for the most part. He did not plan to waste any more time on the mountains near Qingshan Village, and decided to directly search for them in the spatial space after he returned home.

After drawing the picture of the carriage, the two of them arrived at the Rich Wood Trading Company.

When Liao Zhifu saw the two of them, he stood up and greeted them enthusiastically, "Boss Lei, Boss Qin, what a rare guest! It's been a long time since you two have come to take care of my business. " It was as if, not long ago, the two of them had come to his shop in patched clothes to peddle their own inventions, and had never imagined that they would one day become the big bosses of the county. From this, it could be seen that no matter what time, no one was to be underestimated. Liao Zhifu was extremely glad that he did not offend Qin Mian and his, and that they had a good time together several times.

Hearing Manager Liao's tone of voice carrying a sense of intimacy, Qin Mian took advantage of the situation and walked in while laughing, "Where did you say that you're coming from?"

"Please take a seat, gentlemen." Liao Zhifu nodded to Lei Tia.

Lei Tia nodded.

Although he did not say a word, he still gave a reply. Liao Zhifu cheerfully called for the waiter to bring some tea.

The waiter served tea and stepped back.

"I wonder if you two came here to buy or custom-made furniture?" Liao Zhifu asked.

Qin Mian took out the blueprint and passed it to him, "We need to customize a carriage."

Liao Zhifu looked at the blueprints in detail, then looked at Qin Mian and Lei Tia in admiration and said: "Our Pu Zi can do it. Just this wheel, the Boss Qin required it to be made of iron, and with a groove in the middle, it might take a while. I wonder if Boss Qin is in a hurry to get them? "

"No rush." If nothing unexpected happens, this carriage will be Tia and I's private carriage. Be sure to make it firm and fine. " Qin Mian emphasized.

Liao Zhifu knew that the two of them were rich now, so he valued the quality of the goods even more. The price was secondary, so he guaranteed, "I can rest assured on this point, I will definitely make the masters work hard! If there is any place that does not meet your requirements and we have to return to work at any time, you two must be satisfied. "

"In addition, I hope that Manager Liao will not leak out the blueprint." Qin Mian smiled, "I've been with Manager Liao so many times, I definitely trust your character."

"Don't worry, Boss Qin." Liao Zhifu was indeed interested in the blueprints, but since Qin Mian had said it like that, then there was nothing else he could talk about.

Qin Mian told him that he would deliver the carriage to the Qingshan Village once it was completed, and then left together with Lei Tia.

After Liao Zhifu sent them out, he took the blueprints and rushed to the workshop at the back of the shop, telling the masters to start working quickly.

Four days later, a shop assistant from the rich wood weapon shop delivered the carriage to the Leisurely Dwelling House.

The new car had four wheels, eight feet long and six feet wide. There was a hook on the left and right sides of the roof, and above the hook was a square wooden sign. On the left side, there was a golden word, "Thunder", while on the right side, there was a word, "Qin". Air death air lamp can be hung on the cornice hook, which is convenient for walking at night. There were three flights of steps on either side of the door, which did not have to be fitted with a footstool, as was usual in a carriage; the steps were usually tucked into the bottom of the carriage, and there was a small window in the front wall, with a curtain hanging over it, to facilitate communication between the driver and the occupant of the carriage. The rear wall has a larger window, the whole wall can slide up and down, summer will open the whole wall, cool ventilation.

Inside, under the small window, was a cabinet fixed to the floor of the car, with three drawers for refreshments, books, and other small objects; two rows of long sofas, each close to the left and right sides of the car, with three lockers under each; and in the center of the car, a long table of the same length as the sofa, which could be raised and lowered. Usually, a long table is still a long table. When you want to rest, lower the long table and turn it over. You can merge it with the two sofas to form a large bed. There are two luggage racks above the two sofas, which can be used for bedding, baggage, etc.

The small carriage was almost like a small room.

After the construction of the carriage was completed, the masters of the rich and precious wood weapons shop were all amazed. However, the price of this carriage wasn't low either. The cost of this carriage was close to 15 silver, which was around 22 silver for Qin Mian and Lei Tia.

Qin Mian and Lei Tia were very satisfied with the new car, so they straightforwardly paid the driver. The old carriage was repaired for the servants.

After sending the people away, Qin Mian and Lei Tia carried their sabers and buckets, as well as the metal blocks that were twisted into grooves, into the space to search for the rubber tree.

Although all the dangerous animals in the dimensional space avoided Qin Mian, the dimensional space was too big. Therefore, he had never gone too far before. This time, he imagined himself standing at the foot of the mountain. In the next moment, he and Lei Tia appeared at the foot of the mountain.

"My wife, do you recognize the rubber tree?" Lei Tia asked.

"I do," Qin Mian said as he taught him, "The leaves of the rubber tree are oval in shape, and its surface is very smooth. The fruits are oval as well. "If you can't recognize it, then cut it on the trunk. If there is white liquid flowing out, then most of it would be rubber."

Lei Tia nodded and headed in the other direction. A little white was following Qin Mian.

After approximately half an hour of searching, the rubber tree was found by Lei Tia first. Qin Mian heard the shout and ran over.

A piece of bark was cut obliquely from the rubber tree, and milky-white juice gurgled down. Lei Tia placed the metal pipe back in place, causing the juice to flow through the pipe and into the barrel below.

This piece of rubber tree, Qin Mian picked the thickest one.

In the end, the two of them collected two full buckets.

Qin Mian only knew that the main raw material for making rubber was natural rubber. Natural rubber was made from the latex that flowed out from the rubber tree when it was cut by rubber trees, after it had been solidified and dried. However, he did not know how the latex was solidified or dried. He had never paid much attention to this before.

There was no other way, he and Lei Tia could only ponder it on their own. Solidification can be done by drying or cooling, and drying can be done by drying, drying or baking... There were a lot of latex in the space. The two of them tried it out one by one and after a few days, they finally succeeded.

First, prepare a thick bamboo, the diameter of the bamboo was similar to the width of the wheels. After piercing through the bamboo, the latex was poured into the tube. Then, after solidifying and drying it in the way they had experimented with it, the practical rubber was released. It was quite elastic.

The two of them fitted the tire into the groove of the wheel, reinforced it, and put it on the horse. Lei Tia drove the horse carriage on the uneven ground of the village and tried it out.

The villagers watched the carriage go up and down in wonder.

"Lao Si Lei, your big brother and sister-in-law are powerful. Even we old fellows have never seen such a beautiful carriage. " Elder Jiang said to Lei Xianglee.

Sister Zhang joked: "Hey, four brothers, when does your mother plan on getting you married? In the future, if I use this carriage to pick up my new wife, I will definitely have a lot more face! "

Lei Xianglee blushed, "What is Sister Zhang saying?"

The villagers all laughed out loud.

"What are you blushing for?" An aunt gave an ambiguous smile to Lei Xianglee, "If I remember correctly, you should be eighteen this year, right? It was time to get married. Do you want us to help you rush your mother? "

Lei Xianglee's face was so red that it almost burned, "Cough, I don't need you to worry about this matter."

The crowd roared with laughter once again.

Qin Mian sat in the horse carriage and experienced it himself, so he almost couldn't feel the vibrations, much less the fact that he could shake a person to the point of flying like he used to when he was riding a horse carriage.
