The ancient life of a master craftsman

It took two days for Li Enbai to complete the carriage which was replaced with iron parts, and the wheels were reinforced with iron nails. There was no pattern on the carriage, it was extremely simple, and the structure inside was the same as his current carriage. of.

I put the two carriages on the horse one by one and tried it. The addition of iron parts did not affect the speed, and the vibration was very small.

'Congratulations to the host for successfully remodeling the carriage for the second time, and gaining 2000 experience points' the system's voice sounded.

Li Enbai saw that the total experience gained from the two transformations of the carriage was only 4000, which was less than half of the previous loom, let alone the cultivator.Logically speaking, this should not be the case.

In his vision, the four basic aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the loom represents clothing, so the experience points obtained can exceed ten thousand; the tillage machine represents the most important food, food is the most important thing for the people, and the experience points obtained naturally are more .

Living definitely refers to a house, but he chose a carpenter as a profession, so it is impossible to have a living aspect, unless it is furniture, but when he made a simple bed, he only gained 500 experience points.Well, this aspect must be referring to the carriage. Why did he only get 4000 experience points after improving the carriage?

Something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, and he didn't get a reply when he asked the system, and now the frequency of the system actively appearing was getting lower and lower, which was different from when he was in the Milky Way.

Maybe it's because of the change of time and space.

Li Enbai temporarily gave up the idea of ​​why the horse-drawn carriage gained so little experience, but drew up the blueprint for transforming the carriage, and handed it to Liu Chuncheng when he was going to Liu's mansion.In fact, he hoped to discuss business with Liu Mingxi more, but Liu Mingxi had already gone to the capital and would not be back in a short time.

I don't know how the pencils that Liu Mingxi took away were sold. I bought the goods twice in the middle, and each time they said they were sold out. Li Enbai was thinking about whether to expand the scale.

In the end, I decided to wait for a while. Pencils have just started to flow into the market. Although they have a good prospect, they may be short-lived. It is better to be safe and wait for the sales of pencils to stabilize before considering whether to expand the scale.

On May [-]st, Daji.

Li Enbai brought Yunli to the market, and added some things that were missing at home, and took Yunli to relax. Recently, Yunli always runs to Mu Xiaozhu's house, and there is no one in sight during the day, and he sighs when he comes back at night.

Mu Xiaozhu's pregnancy is not stable, the fetal image is not good, and because he was worried about Hu Zhicheng, he didn't rest well for half a month, and the symptoms of nausea appeared again. He would vomit in the morning, and he could barely drink If the water goes in, I can't even eat a bite of rice.

This is also the reason why Dad Mu is in a hurry to buy tonics at home. How can a person not eat, so he can survive?Mu Xiaozhu can only drink half a bowl of porridge after taking a nap at noon, and he can't eat anything after taking the tocolytic at night.

Hu Zhicheng was so scared that he almost resigned from his job. If the county magistrate didn't give him a long vacation, he would have to hang around Mu Xiaozhu every day, and he would have to endure the glaring stares of his father-in-law and the sarcastic remarks of his mother-in-law, and he would lose a few pounds with Mu Xiaozhu.

Mu Xiaozhu has a slender body, coupled with severe sickness, the whole body is only a little fleshy on the belly, five to six months is the time when the baby in the belly grows fast, the belly keeps swollen, but the limbs are weak. Getting thinner and thinner.

Seeing this, Yunli was terrified, and sighed every night, because he didn't know how to make Brother Zhu feel better.Li Enbai didn't know even more, it happened to be the big market day, he took Yunli out for a walk, saving himself from worrying all day and losing weight.

They go to the market first, which only lasts for half a day in the morning, and the stalls are usually closed before noon. If you want to buy things, go to around Chenshi (7 o'clock) is the busiest time.

Li Enbai led Yunli into the big market, and started shopping from the entrance. There were people coming and going around him, afraid of being separated by the flow of people, the two of them clasped their fingers tightly together.

Walking all the way, shopping all the way, all the things I bought were put in Li Enbai's back basket, talking and laughing, Yunli forgot to worry for a while.

Yunli's eyes lit up when she saw a place surrounded by little brothers and girls, it was a dim sum stall!Originally, he wanted to sneak in by himself, but Li Enbai didn't let go, and the two of them slipped through the gap in the crowd to the front row together.

Sure enough, it was the stall of the dim sum shop they often bought. Fu Lang, who sells dim sum, doesn't remember Yun Li very well, but he knows Li Enbai very well, "Mr. Li is here to buy dim sum for Fu Lang again, do you want some preserved fruit today?" ?”

Fu Lang, the dim sum seller, only glanced at it, greeted him, and went to pay other customers. After he paid the bill, he looked again, "Oh, this is Li Fulang, right? He really matches Mr. Li!"

Yunli smiled, "Thank you boss!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome, what would Li Fulang want to eat today? Red bean cakes, yellow rice cakes, or nectar cakes?" These are Yunli's favorites, and Li Enbai bought them the most. Just a change of taste.

Yunli blushed a little, especially when an unmarried younger brother was looking at him enviously, feeling a little proud in his heart, he shook his hand, "Brother En, which one do you want to buy? I want to eat..."

He was blatantly acting like a baby, and seeing the envy in the eyes of the little brothers around him almost set Yunli ablaze. It was also the first time Li Enbai saw Yunli acting like a baby outside, and immediately said, "Boss, the same five block."

"Okay," the boss took out oiled paper to wrap the snacks, and he didn't forget to sell them. "Our preserved fruit is newly made. There are three flavors: sour, sweet, and sweet and sour. Would you like to buy some for Li Fulang? The sour The mouthful ones are most suitable for eating when you don’t have an appetite in the morning, take one bite to ensure an appetizer, and the sweet and sour-sweet ones can be eaten as snacks, don’t eat too much in a day, up to ten pills.”

"Appetizer?" Yunli thought of Mu Xiaozhu, who had no appetite every day. He also prepared sour plums at home, but it didn't work, but he wanted to buy some after hearing the boss said that he had an appetizer. The ingredients of the boss's snacks are good. The craftsmanship is also good, and it tastes much better than those sold by others.

"That's right. Occasionally, when I wake up in the morning and don't want to eat, I eat one. It's just sour, and it's the most appetizing." The boss handed three packs of dim sum to Li Enbai, "It's 130 five coins in total."

Li Enbai paid the money and put the snacks into the basket, Yunli was still struggling, he didn't like to eat preserved fruit, "Can pregnant women eat it?"

"Li Fulang is pregnant? Congratulations!" Fulang, who sells dim sum, hurriedly congratulated her, and wanted to pack two more dim sum as a gift.

"No, no, it's not me. It's my natal brother. He's five months pregnant and he's so sick that he can drink some rice porridge in a day." Yunli said, her eyebrows tangled together again, and the worry that was suppressed turned out again. .

The boss turned around and picked up three or four preserved fruits and handed them to Yunli, "Well, that's a pain, otherwise, I'll bring you some sour preserved fruits, and Li Fulang will take them back for your brother to try. We only started making sour plums in July and August, but we don’t have them now.”

"Don't, don't, let's just buy some." Yunli didn't dare to take it, and hurriedly shied away.

That husband smiled, "Mr. Li often patronizes my business, this is nothing, just take it, and buy it after eating."

"Take it." Li Enbai made up an idea for Yunli, "Thank you boss, then let's go first and come back to buy some snacks in a few days."

"Hey, okay, Mr. Li, Li Fulang, go slowly." When the boss laughed, there were fine lines at the corners of his eyes, but he looked very gentle.

They bought things at the market, and drove the carriage to Liu's residence. This time, Shuang Zhong didn't come together, so they entered through the back door, so that it was convenient to pull the carriage in.

Yunli was a little afraid of Liu Chuncheng, so she didn't go to the study with him, and only ate dim sum in the flower hall. The dim sum made by Liu's family was also delicious, and the fruit was also very special, it turned out to be a rare loquat.Yunli has never eaten loquat before, but she fell in love with the taste of loquat at the first bite. It is sweet and delicious, and her throat feels comfortable after eating it.

He quietly memorized the names of the fruits so that he could buy them for Brother En in the future.

On the other side, Liu Chuncheng raised his eyebrows when he saw the blueprint that Li Enbai brought, "I thought you didn't plan to sell it."

The coachman of the Liu family raised his mouth when he returned to the mansion to deliver the letter to Liu Chuncheng. The carriage of the Li family was very stable. Liu Chuncheng guessed that Li Enbai must have been remodeled. The talent for reading is high.

When he opened the drawing, he was still surprised, "Is iron used in it?"

"Yes, but the amount used is very small. It's just that some parts that are easy to wear are replaced with iron parts, so that the weight of the carriage will not increase too much, and a horse can pull it smoothly." Li Enbai pointed to the drawing. the red part.

The red part is made of iron, while the other parts are still made of wood. Liu Chuncheng took a closer look and said, "It's much more convenient for you to do this than all iron."

"In the beginning, I also considered an all-iron base, but that would be too heavy and reduce the speed too much, so it's not cost-effective." Li Enbai explained his thoughts.

"Indeed, it's obviously a horse-drawn cart, but it's slower than an ox cart. So much iron was wasted." Liu Chuncheng said sarcastically.

Li Enbai understands that someone once made an all-iron carriage, and it may even be modified for stability and earthquake resistance. Because his modification is not original, the experience value for successful modification has been cut in half, and the experience value for subsequent promotion should be is not affected.

"The carriage I used today was remodeled in this way, sir, would you like to have a look?" Li Enbai did not ask who built the iron carriage, but invited Liu Chuncheng to watch the finished product.

"Okay, just to experience it, whether it is as shockproof as you said."

Liu Chuncheng called a coachman over, who happened to be the one he lent to Li Enbai before, and asked him to drive the carriage and take Liu Chuncheng and Li Enbai out of town for a tour.

The coachman was very experienced and knew that the Li family's carriage was unusual, so he specially found different roads, including bumpy gravel roads, muddy riverside roads, smooth official roads, and the most ordinary dirt roads.

Fortunately, Li Enbai had considered various scenarios of the carriage when transforming it, and reinforced and modified the wheels. If he could not find rubber, he would have put rubber tires on the wheels.

But even without rubber tires, the remodeled carriage is good enough, Liu Chuncheng is very satisfied, with such a carriage, long-distance travel will be much easier.

The two discussed the way of cooperation on the return carriage, but Li Enbai still asked not to use his name, as long as he secretly collected money.

Liu Chuncheng didn't quite agree with his idea. From Liu Chuncheng's point of view, Li Enbai would definitely join the Ministry of Industry in the future. If he had the results of these several reforms, he would be able to save two days on the bench and wait for the emperor's reuse earlier. .
