Shen Yunsheng slowly stopped his unique three-wheeled electric vehicle at the entrance of Yunke Ferry.
The appearance of the car immediately attracted the attention of everyone around, causing a small sensation.
People gathered around, curiously examining this novel mode of transportation.
"My goodness, what kind of vehicle is this? It actually has three wheels and can move!"
"This is amazing! It's the first time I've ever seen such a unique car."
"Yes, I've never seen a car like this before. It doesn't even need to be pulled by horses."
A young man saw Shen Yunsheng help the old man down and couldn't help but ask.
"Young lady, where did you buy this car? It's amazing."
Shen Yunsheng casually lied, "This is a gift from my master. I heard him say that he invented it, I think it's called something like an electric car."
"Your master is amazing, this is a great invention." The man couldn't help but give a thumbs up again. He was also a little envious of the old man who could ride an electric car.
Another passerby smiled and said, "Young lady! Your electric scooter is very novel, but it may not be as fast as a horse-drawn carriage."
Shen Yunsheng took off his helmet and put it away before slowly speaking, "Young master, I'm not bragging, but the speed of my electric scooter is at least twenty times that of a horse-drawn carriage."
The person who had just spoken looked surprised. "This...how is this possible? According to you, it's even faster than a Ferghana horse."
Shen Yunsheng was full of confidence: "In front of electric cars, the Akhal-Teke horse is only fit to be a subordinate."
The young man took out ten coins from his pocket and handed them to Shen Yunsheng with a smile.
"Miss, I'll pay you ten coins, could you let me ride around the city?"
"Girl, I'll also contribute ten coins." The passerby who had inquired about the speed also took out ten coins.
Shen Yunsheng chuckled to himself. Earning twenty coins for just one round of walking was too easy money.
"Miss, please don't misunderstand, we mean no harm. We just think your car is very special and want to experience what it's like to sit in it." The young man explained with a smile when he saw that Shen Yunsheng was not taking the money.
Shen Yunsheng readily agreed. Since there was no need to burn oil, the twenty coins would be easily obtained in just a few minutes.
She handed the old man over to the waiter at Yunke Ferry, then took the two of them onto a tricycle and told them to hold on tight to the handrail.
As Shen Yunsheng gently turned the handle, the electric vehicle started smoothly and sped forward.
The pedestrians and carriages on the road were left behind, eliciting gasps of amazement from passersby.
Soon, the loop was over, and the two passengers excitedly got off the electric vehicle, praising it highly.
Seeing this, the others quickly took out their money and asked to ride.
Shen Yunsheng got busy, leading wave after wave of guests through the city.
Some guests, seeking thrills, even paid high prices to have Shen Yunsheng take them outside the city.
Shen Yunsheng had been running for half an hour, and there were still customers looking for her. She decided to take the customers back to Yunke Ferry for free and visit the old man while she was there.
...
The original Huangji Timber Shop has been acquired by Qingyu Gongzi and renamed Muxianju.
The person now in charge of receiving Xiao Jingchuan is Liu Chaoyang, the old manager of Muxianju.
Before Li Dashan officially met Liu Chaoyang, Xiao Jingchuan and Liu Chaoyang had already discussed it beforehand, and agreed that no matter what position Li Dashan applied for, he would be retained.
Since Li Dashan was a carpenter by trade, Xiao Jingchuan suggested that he apply for a master carpenter position. After all, for a carpenter, this was the most suitable job.
Moreover, even during the trial period, the carpenter's wages were as high as three taels of silver per month.
If Li Dashan can pass the assessment and become a formal employee, his monthly salary will increase to five taels of silver.
Such treatment undoubtedly made Li Dashan very satisfied.
Of course, all of this depends on whether Li Dashan himself has real skills.
So, on Xiao Jingchuan's recommendation, Li Dashan began his interview journey. To everyone's surprise, he did not disappoint Xiao Jingchuan's expectations and successfully passed the assessment with his superb carpentry skills.
When Xiao Jingchuan saw Li Dashan and Liu Chaoyang come to the tea room together, he got up and asked them what was going on.
"Manager Liu, how did my Uncle Dashan perform?"
“Li Dashan is doing well. Although his skills are not the best, if he is willing to learn, he will become a first-class carpenter sooner or later.”
Liu Chaoyang was very satisfied with Li Dashan's performance. Although he had gotten the job through connections, he was truly capable.
Li Dashan was also very happy. He decided to cherish this hard-won job. He didn't even dare to dream of earning five taels of silver a month. If he became a top carpenter, his monthly salary would be at least thirty taels.
"Jingchuan, I was able to get the job thanks to you."
"Uncle Dashan, you're too modest. Now that you've been hired, do your job well."
"I will work hard, and once I earn money, I will redeem Hongyu."
Li Dashan had previously sought work from carpenters, but their requirements were always very high, and the monthly wages were only a few hundred coins.
Liu Chaoyang chatted with Xiao Jingchuan for a bit, then told Li Dashan to come and work tomorrow.
Just as Xiao Jingchuan was about to go to Yunke Ferry to see his wife, Liu Chaoyang's nephew and cousin, Liu Chunyu, rushed in.
"Uncle, a new kind of vehicle has appeared in our town, I think it's called an electric car, and a lot of people are riding in it!"
Xiao Jingchuan raised an eyebrow slightly. His wife's car was also an electric car, so that car must belong to his wife.
"It's just a car, what's so strange about it?"
Liu Chaoyang interrupted his nephew with displeasure.
“Uncle, that’s no ordinary vehicle. I heard from the neighbors on the street that it has three wheels and can seat three people. Moreover, it doesn’t need to be pulled by horses and it runs faster than horses. It only takes half an hour to go from Yunke Ferry to the south of the city and back.”
Liu Chunyu explained with a smile that he had run back to ask his uncle for leave so he could go and see him.
Xiao Jingchuan smiled slightly at Liu Chaoyang, "Manager Liu, your nephew didn't lie to you. The electric scooter he mentioned belongs to my wife. We came into the city to pick it up."
Liu Chaoyang was shocked. He never dreamed that the electric scooter belonged to Shen Yunsheng. Although his young master hadn't revealed his identity, they all knew that Shen Yunsheng was their matriarch. If the scooter really was hers, he was actually quite excited!
Hearing this, Liu Chunyu became even more excited. He grabbed Xiao Jingchuan's hand and pleaded, "Young Master Xiao, could you take me to see that electric scooter? I've never seen anything so amazing in my life!"
Xiao Jingchuan smiled and nodded, agreeing to his request.
Liu Chaoyang was afraid his nephew would cause trouble, so he went along too.
About fifteen minutes later, they arrived at Yunke Ferry. When Liu Chunyu saw Shen Yunsheng's electric scooter, his eyes lit up. He circled the scooter several times, praising it repeatedly.
"This is amazing! The design and this cushion are absolutely incredible."
When the shop assistant who was watching Shen Yunsheng's car saw Liu Chunyu reach out to touch it, he immediately stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Don't touch it like that. This is Madam Shen's car. If you damage it, you won't be able to afford to pay for it."
