Chapter 855: Chapter 855: Adult Tricycle_1
Her eyes widened as if she had seen something incredible, and her mouth opened involuntarily.
But then again, even for her, it indeed was a remarkable thing.
She had never seen such a tricycle even in her later years.
Xiaoyang, the guard, came riding over in a rush, greeting her loudly, “Miss Qiao, Young Master Tong!”
“Guard Xiaoyang, what is this… this vehicle…”
Where did this novel toy come from?
The guard parked the tricycle next to the ox cart and said with a beaming smile, “This was bestowed by the retired Emperor to Chancellor Gu. Chancellor Gu couldn’t ride it, so it became my means of transportation. I came out to buy some sunflower seeds.”
As he spoke, he pointed to the iron basket on the front wheel, which contained several paper bags made of cowhide.
Upon hearing this explanation, Xiaomai couldn’t help but blink and turned to look at Tong Sanlang.
Tong Sanlang couldn’t help but praise, “His venerable self is also very good at making money.”
“Isn’t that the truth? This one costs eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver!” said the guard, patting the handle of the tricycle. With his own salary, he could never afford it, so he could only bask in Chancellor Gu’s generosity.
When Yang Ye left, he felt somewhat unsettled to be left behind in Bailu Town with just two maids, as if he had been exiled.
But as it turned out, this was not exile. Yang Ye had been kind to let him stay.
His fellow brethren were either left to guard the empty Prince Wei Residence in the Capital City or were following Yang Ye on the road, weary and dusty from travel. In comparison, he, enjoying days that were the most comfortable, often got a share of the gifts Xiaomai sent to Yang Ye, and now he could even indulge in the novelty of riding a tricycle.
With this in mind, he looked towards Xiaomai, for his quality of life was closely linked to her.
“The folks at Jiwei Residence say that this kind of vehicle was actually invented by the young lady, right?” Despite not advertising Xiaomai’s name this time, he had his ways to gather information.
“No, what I made was for children to ride, and it was wooden, merely a small toy.”
Now, Yang Wenxiao had simply taken her idea and made an adult version, tsk.
The importance of applying for patents.
Of course, she only sarcastically mused on this in her mind. The fact that Yang Wenxiao thought of an adult version had indeed helped her.
Her original plan was to create a two-wheeled version for children after a while, and then to transition to an adult version of the bicycle.
Now that Yang Wenxiao had created an adult version of the tricycle, she and Tong Sanlang could contemplate an adult version of the two-wheeled vehicle!
Guard Xiaoyang, unaware of Xiaomai’s thoughts, interjected, “Even as a toy, that’s still impressive. I heard they’re selling like crazy in the Capital City. Jiwei Residence made a hefty profit from it.”
“Miss Qiao, you really are like the reincarnation of the God of Wealth!”
“With you around, an enormous amount of silver has flowed into Jiwei Residence and Zuixian Building in the past half-year.”
Upon hearing this, Xiaomai couldn’t help but blink her eyes again.
The God of Wealth?
That was a high hat to wear, one she dared not claim.
“I spend all day thinking about food. This thing was actually Tong’s idea. He wanted to make a small toy for Dami. As he tinkered with it, he ended up creating it.” She laughed modestly.
“Then Young Master Tong is remarkable!” Guard Xiaoyang gave a thumbs-up to Tong Sanlang, admiring his ability to be literary, martial, and inventive.
Tong Sanlang accepted the guard’s praise with an unaffected face, “Just tinkering around.”
“Oh, by the way, Guard Xiaoyang, could you ask the Lord if there are any extra watermelon seeds? I would like to plant some next year.” Xiaomai suddenly remembered this matter.
