It was approaching noon.
The bicycle factory is already in full swing.
Everyone got busy.
The family members also came.
Strong men, those who build houses build houses, and those who dig ditches dig ditches.
The children went to cut the grass and clean up the wasteland.
The women washed the smelly clothes changed by the men at the river.
Others are in the factory area, starting to light fires and prepare to cook.
Today is the opening day of the bicycle factory.
Lu Yuan asked someone to set off a few firecrackers for good luck. This was considered a good start.
At noon, pigs and sheep are slaughtered.
Naturally, you need to have a good meal on the first day. Blacksmiths and ordinary laborers have meat to eat.
Even the families of the workers can have a bowl of broth.
However, these men will also give their own portion of meat to their families.
However, for now, the bicycle factory has a problem.
There are too few blacksmiths.
One hundred and sixty-three workers in total.
As a result, there were only seventeen blacksmiths in total.
Six of them were still apprentices.
However, I think so.
A blacksmith is a serious craftsman.
This kind of serious craftsman can live well anywhere.
Usually they don't escape.
Those who escaped could not survive, or something had happened to their families.
Lu Yuan looked at these seventeen blacksmiths with a little trouble.
There are too few blacksmiths.
But it's not a big problem.
Just get a few more apprentices.
A blacksmith leads many apprentices.
After all, blacksmithing is indeed difficult to say, but some steps involve wielding a hammer.
Just find those who are willing to be apprentices among these laborers.
Just let these apprentices do the ordinary knocking.
And after Lu Yuan said this, there were more than 150 people left, all of whom had to apply to be apprentices.
After all, if you work as an apprentice, you can become a regular worker.
When he learns it later, he will be a serious blacksmith.
From now on, with only three coins a month, I can eat a meal of meat and drink a pot of wine in three days.
How beautiful.
Besides, in this world, if you have a skill, you won't have to worry about food and drink in the future.
Lu Yuan saw that so many people wanted to be apprentices, so he waved his hand and agreed to it all.
Then everyone will become a blacksmith.
Who will build this house and build the factory?
That's so simple.
This guy just brought in the refugees from the East City Gate.
Then there are the West City Gate, South City Gate, and North City Gate.
There are several refugee gathering places in the imperial city.
There is no shortage of this labor force at all.
Just let Li Er look for it in the afternoon!
At noon, Lu Yuan cooked by himself.
As a prince, naturally he cannot eat from the same pot as these refugees.
Identity does not match.
Of course, these people were dirty and still smelled a bit after taking a shower.
Have to wash it several times.
In addition, there is no physical examination here, so who knows if there is any disease.
Moreover, there is such a eldest lady like Gu Qingwan.
I didn't bring any cook with me today. If we go back to the imperial city, it will take more than an hour to ride there and back.
There was no time. After dinner, Lu Yuan had to summon the blacksmiths and tell them about the bicycle.
Where is the effort?
Lu Yuan immediately got a piece of pork and some vegetables and prepared to cook.
This scene really frightened Gu Qingwan.
Looking at Lu Yuan who neatly picked up the knife to cut the meat, he said in astonishment:
"Your Majesty, you...can you cook?"
Lu Yuan turned his head and glanced at Gu Qingwan, grinning and saying:
"It's not difficult. I'm quite good at cooking. You can try it later."
As a modern person, I will naturally watch various cooking videos.
for example.
"Hello everyone, I am food writer Wang Gang."
So Lu Yuan definitely knows it.
After Gu Qingwan blinked in shock, she quickly said:
"Your Majesty, why don't you come as a daughter of the people? People say that a gentleman lives far away from the kitchen..."
Lu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile:
"The gentleman is far away from the chef. He cannot bear to see animals being killed, but..."
Lu Yuan changed the topic and said with a bad smile:
"I'm not a gentleman, I'm cruel and ruthless."
With two bangs, Lu Yuan chopped off two more bones and said:
"I'll make some soup for you at noon.
I've been keeping accounts for the whole morning, so I can't treat you badly. "
As a talented woman, Gu Qingwan naturally knows the true meaning of a gentleman's stay in the kitchen.
I just wanted to find an excuse to cook for myself.
But after hearing Lu Yuan's funny words, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile. He felt that this prince was really interesting.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, said while cutting the meat:
"Don't be happy, you have something to do. If you know how to steam rice, steam our rice."
Gu Qingwan was startled, then nodded sweetly and said:
"Yeah~ I know how to steam, I learned it from my mother~"
Unknowingly, when talking to Lu Yuan, Gu Qingwan's voice became sweeter.
Not as cold as when we first met.
Then Lu Yuan cooked and Gu Qingwan cooked.
For a while, the two of them were busy together like a young couple.
After a while, Li Er came back and brought someone with him.
After seeing Lu Yuan cooking, he quickly exclaimed:
"Oh, my eldest son, what are you doing?
I found this cook specially for you. You should put it down immediately. I don't want you to do this. "
Li Er is a bitch.
But if you want to be a good bitch, you don't just have to talk.
You still have to be able to do things.
Li Er knew that he couldn't go back at noon, and the prince had to eat here at noon.
But how could this prince eat the bad food cooked by that country woman?
Why don't you hurry back to the imperial city?
I brought the chef of Wangyue Tower.
I also brought a lot of expensive ingredients.
Lu Yuan was startled, then waved his hand and said:
"Put it down, I'm almost done.
Just let him cook for you.
I'll finish my meal here quickly, I have something else to do in the afternoon. "
Li Er naturally listened to Lu Yuan's words and led the cook to prepare meals for his group.
But I was completely confused.
This prince is really completely different from before.
…
Had lunch.
Lu Yuan summoned seventeen blacksmiths and started a meeting.
I got a large piece of rice paper.
Lu Yuan relied on the dragon body's super memory.
I drew everything about bicycles in "Ingenuity".
Many of these concepts are the first time these people have heard of them.
Gu Qingwan, who was next to Lu Yuan, explained it again with pictures this time.
Everything seemed to be understood for a moment.
At this time, Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan aside, with only two words in her mind.
genius! !
Absolute genius! !
Gu Qingwan was completely shocked.
Gu Qingwan felt that even if she had ten brains, she would never be able to think of such a thing.
Brake pads, tires, inner tubes, bearings, all kinds of mess, things that Gu Qingwan had never heard of or seen before.
And the blacksmiths were also confused.
I thought this was a rickshaw, but what on earth is this?
After Lu Yuan used up seven or eight charcoal pens and various parts to draw on seven or eight large pieces of rice paper, he talked for more than two hours.
Lu Yuan took a sip of water and then said:
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand the whole thing. Just take it apart and see if you can make the parts I mentioned."
The blacksmiths took these parts drawings and looked at them for a while. Then a blacksmith immediately stood up and explained:
"Master, this most important chain... we can't do it.
According to your statement, this chain is made up of iron blocks the size of a thumb held together, but...
But it’s too small, we can’t punch it out with our hands, and it can’t be punched out with a stamping lathe. "
This Lu Yuan was not surprised, but nodded and said directly:
"Then how big can you fight?"
Several blacksmiths communicated for a while, and then said:
"The smallest one is only about the size of two fingernails. We really can't make something like yours."
Then Lu Yuan said directly:
"Then make two ones the size of fingernails, and change the size of the rear wheel gears to match them."
Lu Yuan didn't intend to create something exactly the same as the one on Earth in the Lieqian Dynasty.
Just adjust measures to local conditions.
Four hours passed.
It was about eight o'clock in the evening.
In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, and the sun has not yet set at eight o'clock in the evening.
The first bicycle of the Lieqian Dynasty was also built under the guidance of Lu Yuan!
Lu Yuan named it Phoenix brand bicycle.
