FARM GIRL TURNS EVERYTHING AROUND: SLY HUSBAND, LET'S FARM

Chapter 842: Chapter 842: Enlarged Tricycle_1

He returned to his bedroom and hurriedly penned two letters.

One was destined for the Capital City.

The method of Qiao Xiaomai was quite good; with the weather getting colder and colder, there was no need to worry about the soup base going bad. Furthermore, the road from the Capital City to Bailu Town was the best in Daqi, so Qiao Xiaomai’s pottery jars could definitely be sent to the Capital City.

Both Yang Wenxiao and Emperor Yongan were not particularly indulgent in the pleasures of the palate, but if they could taste something different from the Imperial Kitchen delicacies once in a while, it would be quite nice.

The other letter was for Qiao Xiaomai.

Having just fish soup wouldn’t do—it was time to try a variety of soup bases!

…

Da’an Palace.

Yang Wenxiao looked at the brand new tricycle glistening in the sunlight in front of him and smiled contentedly.

This tricycle was just like the children’s tricycles designed by Qiao Xiaomai, but it was an enlarged version made of iron.

Gao Lian stood by, explaining softly to Yang Wenxiao, “It can indeed move, but it’s a bit slow, only a little faster than walking. And if one rides for a long time, it’s quite tiring.”

“That’s on bluestone roads. On dirt roads, it would be even slower and more tiring.”

“So, the mass production you are considering isn’t very practical.”

After hearing this, Yang Wenxiao raised an eyebrow, “In the end, is it just a toy?”

“Yes. Compared to a farmer’s cart, this tricycle doesn’t have many advantages,” Gao Lian replied.

A cart is pushed by hand, which is tiring.

One can sit on this, but riding it is also tiring.

In the end, both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao responded, “Could we design a lighter and faster vehicle?”

If a cart can carry a lot, then this vehicle should focus on being faster.

When Gao Lian heard this, he replied with a smile, “His Majesty has already ordered research into this.”

“Pass a message to Qiao Xiaomai, let her ponder over this as well.”

Gao Lian assented.

Yang Wenxiao stopped talking, he climbed onto the tricycle, gripping the handles and placing his feet on the pedals in front of the front wheel, slowly pressing down.

The vehicle weighed nearly a hundred jin, and with his current condition, he could no longer easily lift something so heavy.

But sitting on the tricycle and pedaling, he effortlessly moved the heavy iron machine.

The space in front of the Main Hall of Da’an Palace was quite large. He leisurely pedaled the tricycle around, not having to worry about tipping over, and slowly made a loop.

One loop was not enough, so he rode another.

Feeling that Da’an Palace was too small, he simply rode out of Da’an Palace and began touring the Imperial Palace.

Seeing this, Gao Lian hurriedly summoned people to follow.

Therefore, today Yang Wenxiao became a sight in the Palace; unless it was for official matters, he rarely left Da’an Palace. It was a rare occasion to be out and about, especially with such an interesting object that attracted countless gazes along the way.

The passing palace maids and eunuchs bowed their heads in greeting, but the corners of their eyes eagerly glanced at the tricycle.

Gao Lian, seeing Yang Wenxiao’s enthusiastic demeanor, said with a smile, “This tricycle might not just be a toy. One could ride it around and visit places. For example, the nobles in the Capital City could certainly ride it when they go out.”

The roads in the Capital City were all paved with bluestone, very smooth.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao nodded, “Not bad, one could ride it out for fun. It’s really no fun always sitting in a carriage.”

“Tell Xiaobo to scale up production. Qiao Xiaomai managed to make two thousand, right? Let Xiaobo produce ten thousand.”

[Xiaobo is Yang Hongbo, the name of Emperor Yong’an]
