C612 The Wheel



C612 The Wheel

2"That... Young Master Xiao, isn't this a little too much?"    

    

Tuoba Tian'er was not as gentle as Leng Yueling. She was angry in her heart, so she said it out loud.    

    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Don't be greedy. This is raw honey. You guys have injuries on your bodies. If you can't eat this kind of thing, it will hurt your bodies easily."    

    

Then he ate big mouthfuls. He ate until his mouth was sticky. Especially when he took a bite, he almost swallowed the whole thing. With a gurgling sound, it slid down along his throat. It was a very satisfying sound.    

    

Even some of the eggs in the beehive were pinched out by Xiao Yun. He threw them into his mouth and chewed them carefully.    

    

No matter how he looked at it, they seemed to be very delicious.    

    

In particular, there was a sweet scent that could float.    

    

Although it could not float too far, it could at least reach the noses of the two women.    

    

This time, even Leng Yueling could not help but say, "Since it is raw, then Yun, just cook it. Isn't that enough?"    

    

"How can it be that easy?"    

    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes. Clearly, he was extremely unwilling. He placed a piece of meat on the fire and roasted it, then sprinkled some salt on it.    

    

He used honey to brush it a few more times.    

    

After the meat was roasted, he handed it to the two women and said, "Try it. ”    

    

The honey roasted meat had always been a kind of unique taste!    

    

Especially the fat. That kind of greasy feeling will be completely covered up by the sweetness. What's changed is the rich fragrance of the fat, making people unable to stop wanting it.    

    

The two women ate until they almost bit their own hands. Then, as they ate, they actually cried.    

    

Leng Yueling looked at him with some grievance.    

    

Xiao Yun did not understand.    

    

"What's wrong? It's not delicious?"    

    

"Why didn't you do this before? I've been suffering during this period of time... "    

    

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter.    

    

"Good things are hard to come by, so naturally, there shouldn't be too much delicious food. All of you can only rest and recover in this cave every day, it's not like you have anything to say to each other. I need to go out and hunt again, not to mention those tasteless food. Even if it is the delicacies of the mountains and sea, I'm afraid you have already eaten enough. On the contrary, it's this occasional delicacy that makes you slightly moved. This touching emotion, this kind of delicacy's awareness at the moment... Only then can you have the motivation to live... Sigh, who asked you to be a former Great General? The other was the Literary Sect's saintess. It is indeed a sin to let you rest."    

    

The two women lowered their heads, not knowing what to say.    

    

On the surface, Xiao Yun looked a little heartless, but in fact, after being in contact with him for a long time, he knew that there were a lot of things in his heart. Occasionally, he would do it casually, but with all his heart and soul.    

    

Other people could not compare to him.    

    

Actually, that was the meaning of delicious food.    

    

It wasn't to satisfy what one wanted every day, but to occasionally make one feel nostalgic.    

    

What moved people was the unique taste, but what truly moved them was the motivation to live on.    

    

Seeing them like this, Xiao Yun knew that the honey and salt that he had spent so much effort to get was really worth it.    

    

At least in a short period of time, they probably wouldn't think of dying.    

    

Then, it was time to continue hunting and recuperating.    

    

Xiao Yun would always make some surprises every few days.    

    

For example, he would make a wheel.    

    

A wheel, a circle of wood, a few wooden sticks in the middle, or even a round wooden board.    

    

Of course not!    

    

That kind of thing had very little effect. As long as the ground was slightly uneven, there was no way to move it. Moreover, the damage was too easy. The wooden board could not be perfect, and the density of each part was different.    

    

The same wooden board rotated and moved. When it came into contact with the ground, the force of the wear and tear was about the same, but the degree of wear and tear was different.    

    

That was why in just a few days, the areas that were seriously worn out would have caved in, and the wheels would not be round. What was the point of having a bumpy wheel?    

    

One. The production of a wheel was a very troublesome matter.    

    

It was much more troublesome than many people had imagined.    

    

The simplest wheel that could be used normally required a total of 36 parts.    

    

One wheel. The wheels that the merchant group often used, all of them needed 129 parts to make up.    

    

And the more high-end wheels, more or less, were more or less in this number.    

    

The number of wheels used by the Gold Hidden Pavilion's caravan, just the nails and metal parts alone, had reached an astonishing 684!    

    

They also used 98 pieces of wood.    

    

And this was only one wheel.    

    

A caravan's carriage had at least two wheels, some even had four wheels, and even had six wheels that could flip mountains.    

    

A carriage with six wheels had a territory suspension!    

    

Xiao Yun used an important spring on this.    

    

In the eyes of others, it was an extravagant act.    

    

But this not only allowed the Gold Hidden Pavilion Chamber of Commerce to walk in any corner of the world, but also allowed it to move extremely fast. Ordinary people would not be able to imagine it.    

    

The wheel that Xiao Yun made could be considered a simplified version.    

    

When placed in front of Leng Yueling, she only felt that Xiao Yun's craftsmanship was extremely exquisite and did not feel anything else.    

    

But in Tuoba Tian'er's eyes, this shocked her.    

    

What kind of craftsmanship was this?    

    

She carefully looked at every part of the wheel and then realized that she could not understand each part!    

    

"Why is this place divided into four pieces of wood? What Sun Method is used? So they're fixed together? Why didn't he use the same piece of wood? One had to know that the same piece of wood should be sturdier. Moreover, it should be easier to make it."    

    

She was pointing at the outer part of the wheel, where it came into contact with the ground.    

    

Xiao Yun blinked and then sighed.    

    

Squatting beside the wheel, he asked, "When you North Wei make wheels, you use the same piece of wood here?"    

    

"Yeah, what's wrong? Is there a problem? Our North Wei has a lot of wood, and the ancient trees that are made from thousands of years old are inexhaustible. "    

    

She was very proud.    

    

However, the corners of Xiao Yun's eyes twitched a few times.    

    

Then he said sternly, "That kind of good wood, you use to make wheels? Are you crazy? "    

    

"What... What's this about?"    

    

"Do you know the elasticity of wood? Hardness? Toughness, swelling, softness, and so on. Do you understand? Do you know the difference?"    

    

" This... "    

    

Tuoba Tian'er could not answer.    

    

In her opinion, the more expensive the wood was, the better it was made, even if it was just a wheel.    

    

Then she nodded her head vigorously and said, "The wood in our North Wei is good!"    

    

Xiao Yun rubbed his glabella.    

    

He said helplessly, "I know that the wood in your North Wei is good, and you should know. The wood market in the North Wei had been particularly prosperous in the past two years. Some of the nobles of the North Wei had even started to fight because of the forest territory. It's just that whoever has more trees, who has fewer trees. Right? "    

    

"Yes... That's right, what? How did you know? "    

    

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes and said, "Have you forgotten what I do? To put it bluntly, the sales of your northern Wei wood have increased in the past one or two years. They were all bought by our Gold Hidden Pavilion. There's no need to hide this from you. It was precisely because of our purchases that the people of the North Wei realized the preciousness of wood. After all, it could be exchanged for real gold and silver. There were a few nobles who had vast forest fiefdom. And because of the border problem of the fiefdom, there were even some human life lawsuits. As the buyer, I naturally know what kind of people the sellers are."    

    

" You! "    

    

Tuoba Tian'er was furious.    

    

Xiao Yun spread his hands and said, "Furthermore, your North Wei uses good wood to make the wheels. This kind of thing... Tsk tsk, not only is it a waste of natural resources, it is also not suitable. Wood is very precious. But more importantly, it is suitable, do you understand?"    

    

As he spoke, Xiao Yun threw a few pieces of broken leather into the pot and boiled them into a sticky paste.    

    

At this moment, he was taking out the sticky substance with a wooden stick and sticking it to the wheel. Then, he stuck the chopped thick skin on it.
