portable space

In the next two days, Zhang Taiping did not go there and stayed at home to tinker with the sedan chair.

In fact, the production outside during the day is just for show, and the main production is in the space at night. There is enough time inside and you will not be tired. As for the wood, a lot has been cultivated in the space, even if it is not enough in some years.

, you can also use space spring water to promote growth to the extent that it can be used.

He mainly chose pine and red cedar wood. These two types of wood are naturally red and have a fragrance. They are also woods that represent celebration. They are mostly used to make furniture for weddings. Nowadays, they are the most popular wood for making sedan chairs.

It couldn't be better.

After spending two nights in the space, which is nearly a month, the basic structure of the chariot has been produced.

This is no longer a dumpling in the traditional sense. It is not as popular as the dragon chariot and phoenix chariot in ancient times. If it were placed in ancient times, it would be the kind that was carried by sixteen people.

The eight corners of the sedan are carved with cornices and carved with festive patterns. The eight corners that curl up can be hung with tassels, pendants and other objects. The eight-sided sedan walls are made of two-finger-thick wooden boards. Three sides can move freely, which is equivalent to three sides.

A door.

The internal space is huge, even if eight people are seated at eight corners, a large table can still be placed in the middle.

The base is directly connected to an ancient wooden cart, with four wheels underneath. In this way, it becomes a large sedan that can move quickly, and can be pulled by horses or carried by people.

When this sedan appeared in the lavender field on the morning of the third day, everyone was shocked.

"Brother, is it ready so quickly?" Fan Ming asked in disbelief as he looked at this huge and luxurious sedan.

In fact, except for Cai Yazhi, everyone in the family has some doubts.

Zhang Taiping had no intention of explaining in detail. He nodded and said, "Many of the materials have been made before. I just assembled them in the past two nights."

"Let me tell you, how could it be possible to make such a big and beautiful sedan in two days?" Fan Ming clapped her hands and said.

Zhang Taiping pulled him into the yard, where adults and children alike gathered around him.

"Such a big sedan? I've seen that sedan before, but it's very small. Only one person can sit in it. There are no wheels underneath. Instead, it requires two to four people to lift it." Zhang Xiuxiu exclaimed.

.

Zhang Taiping said: "It would require too many people to lift it, so I installed four wheels directly. I will go out and get some horses back in two days and use the horses to pull it directly. It's impressive!"

Fan Ming looked at the sedan for a while and then asked: "Brother, what are you doing with this sedan?"

Zhang Taiping replied with a smile: "One is just doing it for fun, and the other is just to make some noise. When the time comes, we will rent out these horse-drawn sedans to people getting married. It is a small matter to make money."

, mainly because it can increase the village’s visibility, and it can be regarded as free advertising for the village.”

"It turns out that eldest brother is using this as a sedan chair." Fan Ming's eyes formed a crescent shape. "There will definitely be a lot of people vying to use this sedan chair."

Fan Ming's thoughts are different from Cai Yazhi's. Cai Yazhi is thinking about whether anyone will rent it, but Fan Ming is directly sure that there are many people renting it.

Zhang Taiping said to the women around him: "The basic structure has been completed. As for the decoration above, I leave it to you. In short, the decoration should be more festive and antique."

"Are you in a hurry to use it?" Cai Yazhi asked from the side.

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "Don't worry, it can be done by the time we get up."

At that moment, Fan Ming climbed into the sedan to take a look, and Wukong followed him in, and even climbed to the top. It’s just that this sedan is very novel to everyone, but there is nothing worth watching for it. Just look around. After a while I lost interest.

The sedan was placed in the center of the courtyard. After hearing the news, some women came to watch it, but very few men were interested in it. Only old man Qian came to check it out.

"It's really a big deal." Old Man Qian sighed, "How long did it take you to make it? I've never seen you do it before?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "I have prepared it a long time ago. I usually make some parts when I have nothing to do. I just put it together in the past two days."

"Why did you suddenly think of making something like this?" Old Man Qian was a little puzzled.

"Nowadays, there are many ways to get married. Some people even invite a construction team's excavator to use it as a wedding car. I believe the sedan will be of great use."

"Hey!" Old Man Qian took a breath, "Are you planning to use this as a sedan to welcome the bride?"

Zhang Taiping nodded.

"We rural people can't afford such a big thing." Old Man Qian said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid the rental fee will not be low by then, right?"

Zhang Taiping said casually: "People who want to rent this for weddings will definitely not care about the price."

Old Man Qian looked at the wheels under the sedan again and asked, "What kind of vehicle are you going to use to pull it in front?"

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "Don't use a car to pull it, use a horse."

"Use horses? It might be a bit difficult to pull such a big sedan with two horses." Old man Qian knew that Zhang Taiping had two horses, one big and one small, and three horses.

"We don't need the horses at home to pull the sedan. I'm going to go out and buy a few horses of the same color in a few days, specifically for pulling the sedan."

"Tsk, tsk." Old Man Qian sighed subconsciously and said nothing more, but he was shocked by Zhang Taiping's generosity.

Although he didn't know the specific price of a horse, the price of six or seven cows was more than enough. Zhang Taiping had a few horses as soon as he exported them, and he still looked calm and calm. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. , I really don’t know how much money Dashuai Zhang has in his family.

At noon, the village chief called and said that he had something to discuss.

After Zhang Taiping passed by, a crowd of people had gathered in the village chief's yard, but most of them were not from the village.

The old village chief found a moment and said to Zhang Taiping: "These are the leaders of Fengyukou Village. The hot spring was just built yesterday. I invited a leader from the town to come over and have a look, and then we can have a meal together. You should also follow along."

If the hot spring is to be successfully run, it is necessary to provide some benefits to the leaders of the town. This time, inviting the so-called leaders of the town to inspect and have dinner together is just the beginning.

The old village chief asked Zhang Taiping to come with him because he wanted to get in touch with the leaders of the town. In fact, Zhang Taiping valued these things, and he didn't want to waste time dealing with such nonsense, but since the old village chief said this and still Out of good intentions, I can't refuse.

A group of people went to the hot springs first.

The ancient-style building actually looks pretty good from a distance, and it echoes the green hills behind it, giving people a secluded feeling.

The decoration inside is also close to nature. Except for the single room baths, the public baths are all made of pebbles. The hot springs flowing on them are very beautiful. It is not only a bath, but also a visual effect.

enjoyment.

A total of two large pools for men and women and several small pools have been built. This is the current initial plan. If the future benefits are good and there is a need to expand, then more can be built on the surrounding hillsides.

After soaking in the hot spring for a while, everyone rushed towards the town again, preparing to find a high-end restaurant for a meal. All this was arranged by Fengyukou Village, and naturally they paid for the expenses. Zhang Taiping and Lao

The village chief just ran with him.

Things are decided at the dinner table. This is China’s current culture.

During the meal, the top official in the town promised a series of green lights. Of course, the leader of Fengyukou Village promised something, but they just didn't put it on the table. Everyone was happy in the end.

Leaders at all levels can only be regarded as brats, but brats are difficult to deal with. Some things are often ruined by brats, so they have to be dealt with first.

It was already sunset by the time the town leader was delivered to the door of the town government.

The leader of Fengyukou Village was not the village chief, but he seemed to be quite wealthy. He drove a car. When they returned, Zhang Taiping and the old village chief were crowded in the car.

After a few words with the old village chief, the leader of Fengyukou Village brought the topic to Zhang Taiping.

"Is this the commander-in-chief?"

Zhang Taiping said little along the way and just nodded.

"I've heard about the handsome man, he's really amazing."

Zhang Taiping didn't know what he was talking about, so he couldn't be rude and said with a smile: "There's nothing special about it."

One of the leaders said: "Commander, please stop being modest. Your name is well known in our village. In the future, the development of hot springs will depend on the marshal's help."

Zhang Taiping still didn't know why he said this, so he could only smile and said: "Let's talk about the hot springs together, and our villages will develop together."

Then we chatted again, and when we returned to the village, the moon was already bright and the stars were dim.

Cai Yazhi did not ask how things were, but asked: "Have you eaten yet? Can I order some noodles for you?"

The most comforting thing about her is that she is considerate. She never asks about Zhang Taiping's affairs outside. In her opinion, if it is something that should be told to her, Zhang Taiping should tell herself and not take the initiative to ask about things that she should not know.

.What I care most about is whether my husband has eaten.

Most of the time in the restaurant, I was drinking and didn't eat much. Then I sat in the car for more than an hour. Now I was really hungry, so I nodded and said, "Well, let's order some noodles."

Cai Yazhi went downstairs, and Zhang Taiping found something to fill his stomach first.

There was a large pot on the chopping board and a small pot underneath. Inside was shredded radish that had been pulled out with vinegar. Zhang Taiping took it out and ate it with two pieces of Guokui.

At this time of year, the radishes outside have just been planted, so it is naturally impossible to have them. These radishes were taken out from space by Zhang Taiping. When eaten raw, they are sweet and refreshing without any spicy taste. They are also good when eaten cold, and they are great for porridge.

Good food.

While he was finishing two pieces of Guokui and half a basin of delicious shredded radish, Cai Yazhi brought up a large bowl of hot noodles. On top was a pile of chili peppers and minced green onions, sprinkled with a layer of oil, and two yellow oranges.

The orange poached eggs look delicious even if you don’t eat them.

After handing the rice to Zhang Taiping, Cai Yazhi cleaned up the basin with shredded radish, then came to sit on a bench next to Zhang Taiping. From time to time, she looked at Zhang Taiping who was devouring his food, and tenderness flashed across his face from time to time.

Perhaps this is her greatest happiness. Making a bowl of hot noodles for her husband who returns home late at night, and then accompanying him by her side, this is her obligation as a wife, and it is also a great happiness.

Zhang Taiping also enjoys the warmth between the two people, which always makes him feel the warmth of home.

He took a sip of the noodles and said, "Would you like some too?"

Cai Yazhi smiled and shook her head and said, "You go ahead and eat. I won't eat. I just had dinner not long ago."

Zhang Taiping didn't say anything else and quickly ate the noodles in the bowl. What he ate was not only noodles, but also a deep friendship.

After eating and clearing the dishes, Cai Yazhi stood up and said: "The decoration of the sedan you mentioned today is easy to decorate the top and bottom, but what about the middle? Do you want to wrap the eight walls with red cloth?"

Zhang Taiping circled the sedan, then shook his head and said: "No, you don't need to worry about the other aspects. The color of the wood is just right, and it has an antique connotation. I'll be there when you have nothing to do.

Just carve some patterns on it. You just need to make a curtain at the main entrance, preferably with red cloth as the base material, and embroider the auspicious dragon and phoenix on it."

Cai Yazhi nodded in agreement: "This is easy to make. If Lu Feng and I do it together, it will only take two days to make it."

Zhang Taiping shook his head: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, just do it when you have time."

There are not only three big dogs in the yard, but also Xiaojin and Xiaofeng who are in charge of air defense. The sedan is placed in the middle of the yard without worrying about anyone having evil intentions.

After entering the room, Zhang Taiping asked, "Is there anything else?"

Cai Yazhi replied: "The glutinous rice has been soaked for three days. I plan to take it out and steam it now."

Zhang Taiping helped to fish out the glutinous rice soaked in the large basin. The long strips of glutinous rice were swollen due to soaking. He placed a large steamer in it, placed it on the large pot, and set up a charcoal fire under the pot.

"This time is not short. You should go and rest first. I can just stay here alone." Zhang Taiping said to Cai Yazhi.

"It's okay, I won't doze off, let's watch together." Cai Yazhi shook her head gently and said.

Zhang Taiping did not refuse anymore, and the two of them sat next to the stove. Cai Yazhi moved the bench closer and leaned against him.

The two of them rarely get along like this alone, but now their hearts are so close together that even if they don't speak, they can feel a warm atmosphere lingering around them and in their hearts.

For a moment, only the jumping flames reflected the red cheeks of the two people, just like the prosperous days now.

"It's such a good day like this." Cai Yazhi, who rested her head on Zhang Taiping's arm, murmured in confusion while looking at the flashing red light.

Zhang Taiping heard what she said clearly and reached out to brush the hair that was scattered on her forehead. He didn't say anything, but just held her body tighter in his arms.
