My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 223 Sleigh
Wang Xiujuan couldn't think of a good solution for a while, and she couldn't miss work, so she could only do it temporarily. Fortunately, the snow is not so heavy now.

The two talked for a while and Ning Changrong came back.

The whole family ate dinner in the kitchen under the heater.

Day two.

As soon as Ning Qingxi arrived at the workshop, he took the blueprints and found Old Chen.

"Master Chen, please make me something for me."

Old Chen was a little apprehensive, and hurriedly bent down to salute: "Miss Ning, I can't be your Master Chen."

Ning Qingxi knew that these craftsmen were very inferior, so she didn't bother with him, and continued on her own: "I want you to help me build a sled, it doesn't need to be too much trouble, just give me a smoother edge. Otherwise, too much friction will make it difficult to pull.”

Speaking of professional aspects, Old Chen also forgot other things. Although he didn't understand what friction meant, he could probably understand Ning Qingxi's thoughts.

Anyway, it needs to be polished smooth, so that it will be easier to pull on the road, and the smoother the thing, the less effort it will take.

"Don't worry, Miss Ning, I can fix it for you in one morning."

Ning Qingxi nodded with a smile, "I'll give you the money, it's about a hundred cash, right?"

In fact, the sled is not a technical job, but the difficulty lies in that Ning Qingxi also added a roof to the sled to keep out the rain and snow, otherwise it would have cost less than a hundred pennies.
Old Chen became a little flustered again, "No money, no money, how dare you take your money?"

"It's public or private. Other things are built for our general. Naturally, I can't afford to pay for it. This sled is what I want, so I still have to pay for it." Ning Qingxi took out her already The prepared copper coins were handed directly to Old Chen.

Lu Cui heard some movement here, coughed lightly and walked over, "Where are you?"

Old Chen lowered his head in fear, he won't take the money, and it won't work if he doesn't take it.

Ning Qingxi took the initiative to explain to Lu Cui: "I asked Master Chen to help me build something, and gave him a hundred cash for the work."

Lu Cui became interested when he heard this. He took the blueprint in Ning Qingxi's hand and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the happier he said, "Okay! If this thing is marching in winter, it will be very useful in war!"

Not to mention other things, it is difficult to walk in winter. If there is a sled as a means of transportation, it will be much more convenient to transport some supplies or send urgent reports.

"Old Chen, please build it well. Miss Ning doesn't need to pay the hundred cash, I'll give it to him." Lu Cui first affirmed to Master Chen, and then said kindly to Ning Qingxi.

Ning Qingxi was a little confused, "Master Lu, what are you doing?"

"This thing is very useful in the army. You don't need to pay for it. This sled is built for you for free! But since you have promised old Chen to pay him, I don't want to be such a villain, so I will let you pay for this sledge." Come and give."

Lu Cui looked excited, wishing to report to Chang Yuan right away.

Ning Qingxi understood.

All right, since she doesn't need to pay, and old Chen can get the one hundred Wen, then that's fine.

Anyway, if Yuan Yuan knew, he would definitely give the one hundred back to Master Lu.

The value she brought to Chang Yuan was far more than that, so she accepted it with peace of mind.

……

Bai Yunliang watched Ning Changrong go to the public house every morning and stay busy until evening, and he would leave as soon as the time was up, never staying longer.

He didn't complain too much, he originally thought that this person might report something to Chang Yuan, but he had already thought of an excuse, after all, it wasn't a big problem for him to show the other party the account book, the other party didn't care about anything here. If he doesn't understand, even if Chang Yuan asks him to question him, he still has reason to shirk.

But he didn't expect that Ning Changrong didn't say anything, and just continued like that, which made him a little uncertain what Ning Changrong was thinking.

He randomly called a small official who often delivered meals to Ning Changrong's room, and asked, "What does Mr. Ning do every day?"

The little official replied respectfully: "Mr. Bai, Mr. Ning is looking at the account books every month. Every time I go there, Mr. Ning is looking through the account books, but he copied all the accounts on other papers. "

Bai Yunliang was taken aback when he heard this, a little confused what Ning Changrong was doing?

Calculating those books is already very complicated, but the other party is still thinking of copying the books?

"Why is he copying the account book?" Bai Yunliang asked.

The little official said respectfully: "I don't even know the villain, there are some things Mr. Ning wrote in the ledger that even the villain can't recognize."

Although these petty officials do not say that they can take the imperial examination to become scholars, they still know how to read and write, otherwise they cannot work here.

"You can't recognize it either? Is his writing too ugly or what does it mean?"

"No, Mr. Ning did not know where to find a pen that looks like a goose feather. The writing is very clear, but some of the characters he wrote look like runes, and the villain can't recognize them."

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Bai Yunliang waved his hand to let people go down.

He continued to deal with the official document for a while and thought about it, but he stood up again. He had just walked to the door of Ning Changrong's office, and was about to knock on the door to enter, and then put his hand down again.

He turned around and asked someone to bring a plate of pastries, and he knocked on the door with the pastries and entered. Ning Changrong was writing hard inside, when he heard someone knock on the door, he replied, "Come in."

Bai Yunliang walked in with a plate of pastries, smiling.

"Mr. Ning is still busy. Don't worry too much. You won't be able to finish reading these books in a while. This is a pastry from below. Mr. Ning has a taste."

As he spoke, he approached the ledger on Ning Changrong's desk.

Ning Changrong has already scolded in his heart, if it weren't for you, old boy, would I be so busy?
Are you still smiling and coming over to deliver pastries?Isn't this the weasel's New Year greetings to the chicken, isn't it kind?
Although it is said that with the form method and the quill pen, his work efficiency has increased several times, but it still requires a lot of energy. Looking at the ledger every day makes him feel dizzy sometimes.

Now seeing the instigator, who was still smiling and coming over, he couldn't get out of his breath, and he was very depressed.

But if you don't hit the smiling face, you will be in the trenches in the future, and he is not easy to tear his face, but he has already remembered Bai Yunliang in his heart.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai, I'm hungry and I just want to eat some pastries."

Ning Changrong put down the quill in his hand and picked up a piece of pastry.

Bai Yunliang just walked up to him, and saw that his white paper was filled with various income and expenses, and there were some patterns on the back that looked like the runes that the little official said.

"Mr. Ning, scholars still need to practice calligraphy well."
