After crayfish became popular in Xianyang, people had another way to get rich.
Farm crayfish!
This thing is not picky about food, does not have high requirements for water temperature, and has a strong reproductive capacity. The main reason is that there is a market for it!
As long as the crayfish grows to a certain size, the nobles will line up and wait to buy it, and the price is easily negotiable!
Ying Feiyu found a batch of high-quality crayfish at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and sent a lot of them to his prospective father-in-law, Marquis Tongwu.
Everyone in the Flying Eagles also handed out some!
The two brothers, Yu Wenxuan and Yu Ji, are busy working for his property, so naturally they are indispensable!
There are also brothers and sisters Lu Ze, Lu Pheasant and Lu Yan!
Even Queen Loulan, who had just arrived in Xianyang, he did not forget!
For taking away such a large group, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences not only did not feel the slightest bit annoyed, but also thanked them profusely.
There is no way, who makes the crayfish's reproductive ability too strong, and it can burst into a pond at any time!
After Queen Loulan came to Xianyang, she really followed Wang Wan to the newspaper office.
At first, I just stayed around to help with some small tasks. After all, I didn’t know much about Daqin culture, so I couldn’t write or review articles!
But this girl is young, learns quickly, and has a smart mind!
Soon, I will be able to do the job of editor-in-chief!
Wang Wan feels a lot more relaxed now, and can often play with the young lady!
"With Rosa's help, my wife can finally relax!"
In the garden, Ying Feiyu, Huang Yuan and several craftsmen were tinkering with a pile of iron pieces.
Wang Wan was sitting on the stone table in the yard drinking tea, feeling very comfortable watching them busy at work.
"Yeah! Rosa is very smart. She deserves to be a queen. She also has a good way of managing reporters with both kindness and authority!"
Wang Wan smiled and nodded in praise.
During this period, Ying Feiyu often mentioned the word "lady" on his lips, and as he listened, he seemed to be used to it!
Or maybe Wang Wan has subconsciously accepted this identity, and is not so resistant to the title of lady!
Even she herself doesn’t know when she started to adapt to this title!
"Haha! That's for sure. A country can be managed well, let alone dozens of reporters!"
Ying Feiyu smiled while looking at the drawings.
"Little Short Legs, you guys have been tinkering with these iron pieces for a long time, what on earth are you trying to build?"
After putting down the tea cup, Wang Wan walked towards them slowly.
Looking at the scattered parts on the ground, he looked confused.
Among these things, she only recognized the two windlass, but she didn't know anything else.
Even the two wheels are different from the normal ones and seem to be much thinner!
"car!"
Ying Feiyu kept his eyes fixed on the drawing and uttered this word softly.
This is the reward given by the system when I made crayfish by myself a few days ago.
A bicycle drawing!
Although it is not a big move, if it is created, it will become popular!
So he asked Huang Yuan to make the parts and assemble them together!
"A car? What kind of car is this? Such a thin wheel and only a few simple parts?"
It was okay not to explain, but this explanation made her even more confused.
Come behind Xiao Zhengtai and look at the drawings.
But I didn't understand it for a long time.
In the picture, two small windlass support some frames. There are no cattle or horses, and no steam engine is seen.
"This...are you sure it's a car? Are you sure it can drive?"
Wang Wan couldn't help but wonder.
Ying Feiyu was lost in thought while looking at the drawings and did not speak.
However, Huang Yuan answered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he can leave, so he should be able to leave!"
"Can...right? What does it mean to be able to?"
This answer made Wang Wan even more confused, "Are you not responsible for producing these parts? Why do you say it is possible?"
"It's true that I ordered the workshop to produce it, but... I've never seen such a strange car, and I'm not sure if it can drive!"
Huang Yuan pursed his lips.
He has been serving as general and supervisor Zuo Cheng for many years, and he has seen a lot of new things.
But he had never seen such a car before.
There are only two thin wheels, so it is impossible to maintain balance!
But even though he had doubts in his heart, he followed the order and produced all the parts. Now he just needs to assemble it!
"Don't worry, this car can be driven with just a little learning...!"
After putting down the drawing, Ying Feiyu explained with a smile, "This is called a bicycle. The power comes from your feet. It can not only travel, but also exercise!"
The world's first bicycle came from France. It was made of wood and had a very simple structure. It required both feet to push forward!
Even if you are turning, you have to stop the car and move it to the appropriate direction!
Even so, it has attracted the envious eyes of many people and gained a lot of praise!
Later, after people continued to improve, this was the kind of bicycle that was common in later generations!
What was drawn on the drawings at this time was the kind that would be common in later generations.
Back in France, very backward bicycles could become popular, not to mention his kind!
If the guarantee is not enough, it will become an indispensable part of the betrothal gift for the couple to get married!
"Come on! Let's continue assembling!"
After reading the drawings, the young lady also understood how to assemble it next. After grabbing the tea cup on the stone table and taking a sip, he rolled up his sleeves and continued working.
Wang Wan on the side suddenly blushed.
Because what Xiao Zhengtai just used was her tea cup.
Does this mean...
Thinking of this, her face turned even redder, and she bit her lower lip unconsciously, with a nice curve at the corner of her mouth!
"This should be installed like this... and this... that one should be installed over there!"
Ying Feiyu said while helping to assemble it.
Within an hour, a bicycle that was almost the same as that of later generations appeared in front of everyone!
Ying Feiyu's eyes flashed with excitement and he said with a smile: "It's done! This is it!"
In later generations, he started riding bicycles since he was a child, and he had a certain understanding of bicycles.
But it was really my first time to assemble it myself.
"Little short legs, are you sure this thing can move? If it weren't for the support of this iron rod, it would have fallen over long ago!"
Wang Wan looked at his excited expression and thought that some masterpiece had appeared.
I walked over with high expectations, only to find that it was just an object that I couldn't even stand on. I was immediately disappointed!
"Hehe, don't underestimate this bicycle. Once it is launched, it will definitely become popular throughout the Great Qin! In the future, this will definitely be a must-have item for every household in the Great Qin!"
Ying Feiyu said confidently.
"You can pull it down! Carriages have been around for hundreds of years, and they are not a necessity for every household even now!"
Wang Wan curled her lips.
Just a few very thin iron sheets and iron pipes, plus two wheels, can they become popular in Da Qin? Become a must-have for the common people?
She has to believe it!
"Do not believe?"
Ying Feiyu raised his eyebrows and asked with a wicked smile.
"Do not believe!"
"Okay! I'll give you a demonstration now! If the car can't move, I'll give you a hundred catties of crayfish! If it can move, just let me kiss you! How about it?"
