Alright, wasn't she going to explain the carriage to this Ye merchant and persuade him to invest the "Spring Reward Silver Coins"?
They stood there defiantly, stubbornly, and arrogantly, just waiting to see what kind of story she would come up with.
"Please follow me." Zheng Quchi led the old man closer to the dragon-carriage.
Admiring the dragon-cart so closely, the visual impact and exquisite traditional Chinese craftsmanship left the old man speechless, his gaze seemingly glued to it, unable to look away.
She began by explaining the most basic details: "Grandpa, please look. This carriage is called Panlong. It is pulled by three or two horses. The carriage has two levels. The lower level is relatively stable and comfortable, while the roof can be used for passengers and cargo, essentially a small mobile home. It can be used for long-distance transport of goods or passengers at the same time. These two areas exist independently and will not interfere with each other. It is a mobile private space. A good carriage should naturally be comfortable, quiet, and able to travel to wide areas."
The old man looked her up and down, listened to her explanation, and got into the conversation: "That's right, that's right, you explained it very well."
"Take another look."
Zheng Quchi then explained the details to him: "These are iron-rimmed wheels. Although the wheels are thin, their unique round nail-shaped design makes them very sturdy and provides strong grip. They can crush ordinary gravel. If you encounter uneven or sunken sections of road, their wide, round, and long wheel design can reduce the depth of the sinking, making it easier for the vehicle to pull them out..."
"Furthermore, you can see that this carriage is huge and looks very heavy, but it is actually lighter than a small carriage. If you don't believe me, you can compare it with a scale."
"The vehicle features a staircase at the rear for easy access, making it accessible even to elderly people with mobility issues and young children. The interior is spacious with individual seats for each person, ensuring comfort and a soft, springy feel. The seats are made of the toughest cowhide and filled with cotton, providing a comfortable and bouncy ride. The vehicle also includes a snack tray, a casual coffee table, footrests for extended periods of sitting, and a folding sleeping board for overnight use..."
The interior design of this series may not sound complicated, but every aspect is very user-friendly, making one feel that sitting in this carriage would definitely be an ultimate experience.
The old man nodded repeatedly, especially impressed by her design which also catered to the elderly and children: "Not bad, not bad. This carriage certainly makes one want to get on and sit in it. But do you know what the most important thing about a carriage is?"
