Lu Jing looked at the cool carriage and looked excited and excited, which made Yang Xuan sigh. This little girl must be under strict control at home.
After all, a fifteen-year-old girl is naturally lively and active. How tiring it would be to act like a lady all day long.
After looking at the models, shopkeeper Fang invited Yang Xuan to take a test drive. These competitive models have changed a lot from the models in previous competitions.
For example, the shape of the cabin should be as streamlined as possible to reduce wind resistance, the chassis should be lowered to maintain stability, and wider wheels should be used to increase grip.
These are all modifications that require extra money from customers. These designs are just to give those customers a direction for modifications.
Cars in later generations are called men's big toys, so these carriages are the same, and the young men must be given room to play around, so that they will not lose interest so easily.
When Yang Xuan was about to drive the car himself to test its performance, Lu Jing, who was standing beside him, quietly tugged on his sleeve: "Mr. Yang, can I try it too?"
Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this little girl to be so interested. He immediately nodded: "That's right. You sit in the back seat and I'll drive."
With a cheer, Lu Jing got into the back seat of the carriage.
"drive!"
Yang Xuan shouted and flicked the whip in his hand, and the tall white horse began to walk slowly, turned a small corner, and came to the road for the test drive. Yang Xuan suddenly swung the whip, and the big white horse neighed and kicked off its hooves.
Started running.
At first, the speed was not too fast. After all, there was a little girl sitting behind him. Yang Xuan still kept the speed down. But as the speed gradually increased, a burst of cheers came from the back seat of the car.
"Faster, faster."
Even faster?
Yang Xuan estimated that this was already the normal running speed of horses, and it would be unsafe to run any faster.
But when he looked back, he saw that the little girl had an excited face and was cheering for joy in her seat, almost standing up.
"Then sit tight and hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."
For Yang Xuan, a person from later generations, this speed is indeed a bit slow.
As the riding whip was thrown out again, the speed increased a lot. The cold wind of early spring hurt her face, and Lu Jing in the back seat could no longer make a sound.
But even though she pursed her lips, she still had that excited expression on her face.
The most important thing for Yang Xuan was to observe the bumps in the back seat. The current speed was probably forty miles, and Lu Jing was still sitting relatively comfortably in the back seat, so Yang Xuan continued to accelerate.
Later, Yang Xuan couldn't estimate the approximate speed per hour. He just saw that the horses were running with their hooves in the air, so he slowly slowed down and stopped the carriage.
After Yang Xuan got out of the car, he helped Lu Jing down from the back seat. At this time, the little girl's face was pale, but she still had the unconcealable expression of excitement on her face.
This little girl is very courageous. Yang Xuan felt a little uneasy in his heart. He was even a little panicked at the speed just now, but this little girl was still able to hold his own.
Shopkeeper Fang stepped forward and gave a thumbs up in amazement: "Mr. Yang's driving skills are also quite skillful. The horse was already running at full speed just now. It's hard for Mr. Yang to still be able to control it."
Yang Xuan said modestly, and then said: "The delivered carriage does not need to be modified, but when delivering it, the guests must see the effect of the modification, and then put a few modified carriages in the carriage shop.
Let those customers show interest in modification."
"I understand, I understand." Shopkeeper Fang nodded repeatedly: "Just like a silk and satin shop will hang a few pieces of ready-made clothing so that guests can see the effect."
"That's what I mean." Yang Xuan patted Shopkeeper Fang on the shoulder: "Work hard, our goal this year is to make this competitive model popular in Yingtianfu, and we will pay you dividends when the time comes."
He habitually draws big cakes, which makes the house manager very excited when he hears it.
After telling shopkeeper Fang to leave a carriage for the prince of Prince Hui's family, Yang Xuan took Lu Jing to the kiln not far away.
The kiln factory now mainly produces Sansheng Sanshi wine bottles. Sansheng Sanshi wine has been selected for the royal supply. The price of three hundred and two bottles has stabilized. In addition to the royal supply, the daily supply on weekdays
All are limited.
In addition, two new kilns are almost completed, and sales will increase by then. Currently, there are two main research directions, one is flat glass, and the other is fired ceramic tiles.
In fact, the firing of this ceramic tile was an accidental product obtained when firing colored glaze. The craftsmen wanted to throw it away, but Yang Xuan discovered it.
What he needs to do now is to reduce the cost of firing ceramic tiles and stabilize the quality of the ceramic tiles. If these two points can be achieved, he will have another business in the future.
In the prosperous dynasty, only wealthy households could afford bluestone paving, while ordinary families could only use rammed earth. Although rammed earth is strong, it will inevitably cause dust and slag during daily use. If ceramic tiles could be used instead, that would be great.
A vast market.
After the experience of riding a carriage just now, Yang Xuan felt that it was very necessary to install a windshield on the driver's seat. In order to make the young men feel more involved, they must be allowed to drive the carriage themselves.
But to have a sense of participation, you must have a good sense of experience. When the carriage speeds up and the wind blows so hard that you can't open your eyes, it becomes meaningless to play.
In fact, if you can make glass bottles, you can theoretically make flat glass. However, so far, it cannot meet Yang Xuan's requirements and cannot be completely flat, resulting in some distortion when looking through the glass.
.
This situation is naturally not allowed. What Yang Xuan needs is to keep improving.
Lu Jing, who had been following Yang Xuan silently, suddenly exclaimed, startling Yang Xuan.
"This glass was made here. In other words, the glass beads worth one hundred taels of silver last year were made by you."
Yang Xuan nodded, Lu Jing was Lu Chenghong's sister, there was no need to hide it from her.
Seeing Yang Xuan's admission, Lu Jing's eyes rolled: "In other words, the original appreciation meeting of the Changsheng was your fault."
Yang Xuan was surprised that this little girl could think so quickly. From such a small detail, he could immediately infer that she had done the thing.
"This matter cannot be spread." Yang Xuan lowered his voice and said, "Your brother and I did this together."
"Humph, my brother is such an honest person, and he doesn't have so many tricks. It was probably you who came up with the idea." Lu Jing rolled her eyes and said: "It's easy for me not to tell anyone. Before my brother comes back, you
You have to take me with you every day, whether you are eating or working."
"It's okay to bring you with me, but I'm very busy every day. Just don't find it boring then."
"Don't worry, no matter how boring it is, can it be any more boring than me staying at home alone?"
