"Mother, what do you think of the spicy hotpot made by my son?"
In the Yuxiu Palace, Ying Feiyu held her face with one hand, leaned on the table, blinked her innocent eyes and asked.
Lian'er in front of her, holding a spoon, squinting her eyes, obviously enjoying herself, "Yeah! This spicy hot pot tastes good, and it's very different from hot pot!"
"Of course, otherwise, wouldn't Erchen have wasted so much effort on making it?"
"My mother, Feiyu, has grown up. She worries about state affairs all day long. Although she lives in the same palace, it is very difficult to see her. Why do you have time to cook for your mother today?"
Lian'er looked at her son who was growing taller and said with a smile.
"My mother, who Erchen recently studied, should have also seen it. In order to avoid any special situation in the future, Erchen gave it a name and made a special mark, but I have to get my mother's consent!"
Seeing that Lian'er was eating deliciously, Ying Feiyu spoke directly.
This is my own mother, so there is no need to beat around the bush or think of any tricks.
If it were Ying Zheng, he would definitely not bribe him with a bowl of spicy hotpot!
You have to think of something to twist around and get that old guy in!
"You kid, if you don't agree or disagree, just say it!"
Lian'er put down the spoon and asked with a serious face.
"My son named the bicycle Phoenix, and the logo should also be Phoenix! I hope my mother will agree!"
Ying Feiyu spoke coquettishly.
"That's it?"
"That's right! That's it!"
"Haha! What is this? Just use it!"
Lian'er smiled lightly.
"Thank you, mother...!"
Ying Feiyu jumped up happily and hurriedly went to get pen and ink, "Mother, please give me another message. After the bicycle is finished, put it in the shop!"
"good!"
Without thinking, Lian'er took up pen and ink and wrote the two characters "Phoenix".
In this age where power is greater than anything else, these two have even greater significance.
There are not a lot of high-end shops that can get inscriptions from the emperor or empress!
After Lian'er finished the bowl of Malatang, Ying Feiyu chatted with her for a while before leaving.
…
On the day the bicycles were shipped from the factory, before dawn, people were already waiting at the door of the store.
"Phoenix card!"
The common people looked at the gilt plaque above their heads and couldn't help but read aloud.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so brave, he dares to use the word Phoenix as a plaque!"
"So what? If you think about it, the things used in many people's homes have something to do with the queen!"
"That's right! His Royal Highness is the Queen's biological son. What does the word "Phoenix" have to do with it?"
"That's right! I heard that the two words on the plaque were written by the Queen herself!"
"Really? That would be even more precious!"
"No! In addition, I also heard that each bicycle has a special logo, and the pattern on it is a phoenix!"
"Great! Then I must buy it...!"
People who were waiting for the bicycles to be sold were even more eager to grab the limited number of bicycles when they heard that the bicycles had a phoenix pattern on them.
In their hearts, the phoenix is as sacred as the dragon. Even if there is only one pattern, they feel that everything will go smoothly in the future!
When the time came, the shop door was opened, and people swarmed in, almost crowding out the shopkeepers.
"Everyone should know the rules of our Crown Prince. If you are still so noisy, no one will be able to buy a bicycle!"
The guy was obviously unhappy about being squeezed and said loudly.
"Uh...this...!"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. Even if they were reluctant, they had no choice but to retreat and stand in a row.
"Alas...! I had a hard time squeezing to the front, but now I'm so far in the queue!"
"It seems like no one is! I came here just after I was a child, but I was so far in the queue. What if I can't buy it?"
"Probably not. I heard that the first batch of 10,000 vehicles has been built! The number ahead of us is only a few hundred at best!"
"Ten thousand cars? You should be able to buy one!"
After hearing this, the people who complained were relieved.
"The newspaper said that the bicycles of several ministers are customized models and cost two hundred gold, but this batch is an ordinary model, the same style as the one that His Royal Highness rode that day, and the price is only eight gold!"
"Well, we've all seen it too. I can't imagine that you can buy a car for only eight gold. It's really unbelievable!"
"Yeah! I didn't expect the price to be so cheap!"
"I work in a paper mill and go back and forth every day. It takes an hour of wasted time on the road. With a bicycle, I estimate that I can go back and forth in less than half an hour. This way, I can save more time to rest. !”
"That's right! We have to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for setting the price so low that our common people can afford it...!"
I originally wanted to set the price of the bicycle at ten gold, but when I heard that the cost was about one gold, I adjusted the price and set it at eight gold.
eight! Homophony! Many businessmen in later generations liked this number.
Although Ying Feiyu is not short of money, this number sounds pleasant and auspicious!
If this price were used in the past, ordinary people would not be able to afford much.
However, after these three years of development, Daqin's economy has developed rapidly, with grain production rising again and again, and taxes falling again and again.
Even if you farm with your back to the sky, you can still have a lot of money left every year!
If a young and strong man goes to the factory, his monthly salary is at least ten gold. With one month's salary, he can buy a bicycle for his family!
"Wang Er, get a bicycle!"
"Zhang San, a bicycle!"
…
After the people lined up, the shopkeeper was responsible for collecting money and issuing invoices. The people took the tickets and went to the backyard to pick up the cars.
There will be no purchase restrictions on bicycles in the future, but the quantity produced this time is too small, so we can only adopt a purchase restriction policy of one bicycle per person!
"Tsk tsk...! This bike is really nice!"
"Haha! Yes! The phoenix pattern on the front is also very delicate!"
"Great! I have to carry it back quickly and show it to my family!"
After receiving the bicycles, the people were happy from ear to ear.
A young and strong man was afraid that the gravel on the road would stain his bicycle, so he put it on his shoulders and prepared to carry it all the way home so that his family could have fun together.
There are also a few who are shaking the pedals with their hands to study how the car runs!
Not long after, the sight of people riding bicycles crookedly appeared on the street!
Everyone's face is filled with smiles, and they feel as beautiful as anything!
