Chapter 803: Chapter 803: Will it Cause Suspicion?_1
Tong Sanlang carefully examined the blueprints in Qiao Xiaomai’s hands. Qiao Xiaomai had never learned how to draw; her craftsmanship wasn’t very good, and one could only make out the outline. As for the finer details, they were absent.
After some thought, he said, “So… what’s your plan with this?”
“Make them, then sell the blueprints or collaborate with woodworkers to take shares. I think the people of Bailu Town are quite well-off; they should be able to afford a bicycle, especially those in our village. Think about it, our village is so big, it used to take me a quarter of an hour to walk to the old Tong Family courtyard. If I had a bicycle, I would get there much faster.”
“Not everyone can afford to buy ox carts or donkey carts, but a bicycle should be doable, right? This way, it would be much more convenient to get around.”
Ever since they moved to the manor, it became inconvenient for the villagers to come over. So every morning, it was Qiao Changshun who would take the ox cart or donkey cart back to the village alone and then bring the workers to the fields with him.
This was troublesome and a waste of time.
If every household had a bicycle, the convenience it would offer wasn’t hard to imagine.
Tong Sanlang understood what Qiao Xiaomai described, but…
“Actually, I’m worried about something.” He looked up, gazing at Qiao Xiaomai standing by the bed, his handsome face showing concern, “You said that my great-great-grandmother was a time traveler. The things you’re bringing out… has His Majesty ever suspected them?”
Her eyes suddenly widened—damn!
She had overlooked this problem before!!!
Seeing the shock on Qiao Xiaomai’s face, Tong Sanlang quickly put the blueprints aside and stretched out his hand to hold hers, “Don’t worry too much. If he had any suspicions, he would have taken you back to the Capital City long ago.”
“Moreover, everything you’ve introduced so far is food-related. Considering his unceasing memories of my great-great-grandmother, if you introduced any food that my great-great-grandmother had ever mentioned, then surely, he would have made it over these long fifty years.” Chapters first released on novｅlfire.net
Yang Wenxiao had spent these fifty years engulfed in endless longing. If Liuli had ever mentioned something, he would have done everything possible to make it happen.
Take Bailu Academy, for instance. According to Qiao Xiaomai, the Academy’s model is very similar to the schools in later times.
Or consider the Three Main Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention. Yang Wenxiao applied them to the Yang Family army back then.
And the bombs, which Yang Wenxiao kept extremely secret. Nobody knew exactly where they were hidden, but the existence of these bombs was still widely known.
From this, it’s evident that if Liuli had suggested any advanced methods, Yang Wenxiao would definitely have made use of them.
Yet, in these long fifty years, not even soymilk was produced by Yang Wenxiao.
Soymilk, after all, is one of the most common breakfasts in the future.
Therefore, the only possibility is that Liuli never mentioned it.
Liuli must have been, well, a traveler with grand ambitions and high aspirations, not like Qiao Xiaomai, who always brings out food-related items, a true food lover.
Hence, what Tong Sanlang is currently worried about is whether anything Qiao Xiaomai introduces besides food might arouse Yang Wenxiao’s suspicion.
Perhaps there are some things Liuli didn’t elaborate on back then, so Yang Wenxiao couldn’t make them, but he was aware such things existed.
Like bicycles, for example.
If they really produced them, would it arouse Yang Wenxiao’s suspicion?
Currently popular are flatbed carts, which require manpower or animals to pull in order to move, but a bicycle just needs a person’s legs to pedal, and off it goes.
For this place, that is too advanced.
