Chapter 40: Enemy Lu Zhai's Spear and Arrow [Part 2]
Under Mrs. Xing's constant urging, the coachmen of the Xue and Wang families were like driving ducks to the rack, and got on two carriages respectively.
Then the two carriages, guided by the visiting father and son, began to run in circles around the shooting range.
The original plan was to run five laps, but now there was an anxious Mrs.
So I simply sent a message to the people below through Xu, asking the carriage that had just made two laps to proceed directly to the next step.
Laishun had no choice but to step forward and stop the carriage, and then he and I, Mr. Laishun, directed a dozen servants to load several large boxes into the carriage.
Following the order, the Xue family driver first drove into the shooting range full of ditches and bumps.
Because the weight of the box had been calculated long ago, the Xue family's carriage started to struggle just a few steps inside.
After the initial inertia was used up, it got stuck directly in a ravine.
The driver of the Xue family's coachman whipped him hard twice, and then the draft horse managed to move forward for about ten feet, and then it lay down again.
This time, no matter how much the Xue family coachman urged, the carriage would not move.
Seeing this scene, the servants who had been waiting nearby rushed forward, unloaded all the boxes on the car, and then led the carriage out of the shooting range.
Next, it’s time for the Wang family’s coachman to appear.
Those who can drive for the Taiwei family are naturally experts. He took advantage of the ruts left by the Xue family and walked many feet before he had to stop.
Then, the two carriages, which had been emptied again, were pulled to the viewing platform.
Everyone, including the driver, was ordered to stay away, leaving only the father and son who came home and began to change the wheels in a familiar way.
After holding it in for a long time, Mrs.
But Wang Xifeng just replied lightly: "Madam, you'll know after you take a look."
But if Mrs. Xing was someone who knew how to advance and retreat, she would not have made the quarrel with her daughter-in-law public knowledge.
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was pretending to be mysterious, she immediately raised her voice and asked Lai's father and son under the auditorium: "Lai Wang, what on earth are you doing? What's wrong with that wheel?!"
At this time, the wheels were almost replaced. Laishun straightened his back and exchanged glances with his father. Seeing that his eyes were full of urging, he had no choice but to turn around and go to the auditorium alone.
To be honest, he didn't really want to show up on such an occasion. After all, the better he performed, the harder it would be to quit his citizenship in the future.
But Mr. Cheap may have seen what he was thinking and insisted that he should be allowed to be in the limelight.
Alas~
Since I can't resist, I can only try to enjoy it.
After giving a salute to the fat and thin people on the stage, Lai Shun said loudly: "To answer my wife's question, the wheels themselves are not that different, but the tires on them are very different."
"Tires?"
Ms.
Be clear and stop pretending!"
Why does this woman act like a debt collector?
Remembering that it was because of her that the 'original owner' was beaten to a pulp by Wang Xifeng, Laishun felt even more hostile in his heart.
So he said to her without being humble or arrogant: "It's not just a little trick, there are some things that you have to see with your own eyes before you can make a conclusion."
"Hmph~"
When Mrs. Xing heard this, she immediately glanced at Wang Xifeng and sneered with a gun and a stick: "A slave can actually have a different tone. I don't know who I followed!"
She was originally here to cause trouble, but now she was fascinated by the word "wealth path", and her behavior and speech were a little more out of the ordinary.
But she forgot that besides Wang Xifeng, there was also a Taiwei's wife beside her.
As the saying goes, clay figures also have an earthy nature. Although Wang Ziteng's wife is dull, but after listening to her repeated provocations, she couldn't help but replied with a stern face: "Shunyuan is from our house. Xu is the young master of my family."
Let’s train him.”
It was a neither salty nor bland sentence, but it made Ms.
Laishun also took this opportunity to direct the two carriages and circle the shooting range again.
But when he started running, others didn't notice anything. Wang Ren, who was chatting with Baoyu, subconsciously said "Huh" and murmured to himself: "Is this car better than the one we just ran?"
Is it soon?"
After all, he was born as a general, so he looked at this aspect more carefully than others.
Xue Pan next to him was very impatient. When he heard this, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Li Er, is this car running faster than just now?!"
Li Er, the coachman of the Xue family, heard that the young master was shouting and hurriedly parked the car in front of the viewing platform. He cupped his hands and reported back: "Master, this car is not only running faster, it is also much more stable than before - little man"
Sitting on the carriage shaft, I don’t even feel my butt bumping anymore.”
After this question and answer, the stage suddenly became noisy.
The most worrying thing was the uninvited guest, Mrs. Xing. She subconsciously stood up from her seat, stared at the wheels of the carriage, and asked again: "Laishun, is this the difference you mentioned?"
"To my wife, yes and no!"
Laishun cupped his hands at her again and said seriously: "I had a whim a few days ago and made some modifications to the original tires and replaced them with the tires I modified. Not only did this car run fast and stable, but it also
There is a greater good!”
"The greater good? What good?!"
"Ma'am, keep reading and you'll find out."
Lai Shun, however, got into trouble again, and at the same time directed his servants to load the large box that had just been unloaded onto the Xue family's coachman's carriage again.
Then the carriage drove into the shooting range again under the gaze of everyone.
One foot, two feet, three feet...
Although it cannot be said that it was like walking on flat ground, the carriage passed the place where the Wang family broke down before and was still moving forward steadily.
Only then did Laishun speak again: "The things are still the same, and the obstacles are still the same. Even the horses are more tired than before - but with these new wheels, they can go further and more steadily than before.
!”
He waved his arms subconsciously and said with enthusiasm: "This means that as long as new tires are put on, the carriage can pull more cargo on flat ground, or it can pass on rough roads without any obstruction!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the carriage got stuck in the mire.
"cough……"
Laishun coughed dryly and pretended to be nonchalant and added: "Of course, there are some places that are too dangerous, but I still can't get through them."
After a pause, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everyone on the stage was whispering to each other, but no one jumped out to question him.
Then Laishun continued: "The cost of this new tire is currently only slightly higher than the original tire, and as labor and technology become more and more skilled, the cost can be further reduced."
"Once the prices of new and used tires are close to or even equal, not only will all carriages first choose new tires, but millions of handcarts and wheelbarrows will also become potential buyers of these new tires!"
The statement "millions" obviously aroused everyone's sensitive nerves.
The noise on the stage became louder, and Mrs. Xing asked excitedly: "Then what are the shortcomings of this thing?!"
"Yes, but not."
Facing Mrs.
Upon hearing this, Mrs.
"But it has even more benefits!"
Laishun pointed to the carriageway that was still stuck in the quagmire: "Just because it can run faster and more steadily, wealthy families won't care about losses; as for ordinary people's homes, as long as the benefits it brings when transporting goods can
If it is greater than the loss, this shortcoming can naturally be ignored!"
As he spoke, he secretly raised his voice a little more and said with emotion: "In this way, this shortcoming has turned into an advantage for us - because it will not be used for more than ten or twenty years like old tires, but
I have to buy a new one every three to five!”
"This means that the income from operating new tires will far exceed that of old tires!"
