Chapter 242: Designing the Ancient Mobile Food Truck

At first, Zhou stood aside and watched, but as time passed, her eyes were not enough.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoyou was painting seriously, Zhou left the room quietly without her noticing.

When Mrs. Zhou came back with a tray and lunch, Gu Xiaoyou happened to put down the brush: "Yeah, I've drawn it!"

"You've drawn it." Zhou put down the tray and said happily.

"Yes, I've drawn it!" Gu Xiaoyou hugged Mrs. Zhou happily and jumped around the room several times with her.

Zhou felt dizzy and pressed Gu Xiaoyou's shoulders, begging for mercy: "My dear Xiaoyou, you are making my head dizzy."

"Hey, I'm so happy." Gu Xiaoyou stood firm and couldn't wait to show the drawing to Mr. Zhou: "Look, this is a mobile dining car. Take a look."

Mrs. Zhou took the drawing and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take a look. You should finish your lunch soon."

"Okay, just look at it and ask me if there's any difference." Gu Xiaoyou patted Zhou's arm carelessly and took the tray over.

He casually moved the rice paper aside on the desk to make room, placed the plates on the tray on the desk one by one, and said to Mrs. Zhou: "Sister Zhou, let's eat and watch."

"Oh, okay." Mrs. Zhou responded casually. She took the drawing, sat on the chair, picked up her chopsticks and picked out a dish, still staring at the drawing.

"Don't just say nothing." Gu Xiaoyou took a bite of the food and asked, "What do you think?"

"It's pretty good, but there are a few things I don't understand." Zhou pointed to a spot on the drawing and asked, "Why did you make the car windows so big?"

"Enlarging the car window will make it easier to deliver food." Gu Xiaoyou stood up and drew a frame in front of him: "Look, for example, this is the car window. Customers can see my face and also

After seeing the movements of my hands clearly, I can hand the food out directly."

Gu Xiaoyou explained to Zhou the principle of the car window with explanations and gestures.

"Wouldn't this reveal the method of making pancakes?" Zhou asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter if you know the method. Others don't know the ingredients. Even if they are researched, it will still be an imitation." Gu Xiaoyou said nonchalantly: "There will always be imitations of popular products. As long as we ensure good quality, we don't have to worry about these.

No."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Mrs. Zhou nodded.

"Is there anything else you don't understand?" Gu Xiaoyou asked.

"Yes, this stove, I just thought of it when I was cooking. It can be made of earthenware or copper." Mrs. Zhou suggested.

"Ceramic stoves are easy to break if there are bumps along the way. As for copper stoves, although they conduct heat well, they are too much heavier than iron. I'm afraid the carriage won't be able to carry them," Gu Xiaoyou explained.

"I see, then there's more..."

Zhou continued to ask a few questions, and Gu Xiaoyou answered them one by one. The two of them improved the dining car after discussion, and lunch was finished during the discussion.

After lunch, Gu Xiaoyou folded the drawings and stuffed them into his sleeves: "I'm going to get the dining car right now, and I'll leave the breakfast shop to you."

"Okay, feel free to go." Mrs. Zhou straightened Gu Xiaoyou's collar and put her into the carriage herself.

"Go back quickly, it's cold." Gu Xiaoyou waved to Mrs. Zhou and lowered the curtain.

First, he took a carriage to the Lu's Iron Shop where he last ordered pots. Gu Xiaoyou explained the purpose of his visit and handed the drawings to the blacksmith.

The iron bucket was easier to make than the hamburger pan. The blacksmith agreed after looking at the drawings.

"One thing is, can you make this iron a little lighter?" Gu Xiaoyou used two fingers to indicate the approximate thickness. She had not forgotten the shadow of the pot she made last time.

"Okay, just make it thinner." The blacksmith readily agreed, and then asked: "How many iron barrels do you want this time?"

"Let's make six first." Gu Xiaoyou thought for a while and said.

"Okay, pick it up in five days," the blacksmith said.

"Sure, I'll send the same coachman from last time to pick it up." Gu Xiaoyou imitated the blacksmith's words and took out the broken silver from his purse: "I'll set the money for you."

"One ingot is enough." The blacksmith was as honest as last time. He took an ingot of silver from Gu Xiaoyou and started to make iron.

Gu Xiaoyou gave a few more details and left the iron shop directly.

After stepping onto the carriage, Gu Xiaoyou sat down in the carriage and asked the coachman: "Do you know where I can order a carriage?"

"I don't know where I can order a carriage, but I know where the carriage shop is and where I can buy a carriage." The coachman thought for a while and replied.

"Then take me to the carriage house." After Gu Xiaoyou ordered, he lowered the carriage curtain.

"Okay, sit tight." The coachman responded, raised his whip and drove the car towards the carriage house.

After walking for about two cups of tea, the carriage did not stop, and the further we walked, the more the carriage bumped.

Gu Xiaoyou rubbed his sore buttocks and asked, "Where are the carriages and horses? Why does the road get bumpier and bumpier as we go?"

"Go back to Miss, the carriages and horses are traveling in the suburbs. It rained two days ago and the road is a bit difficult to walk." The servant said a little apologetically: "It will be better if you drive more slowly."

"Don't be slow, go quickly, the faster the better." Gu Xiaoyou said quickly, after all, long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain.

"Yes, little one, speed up." The servant immediately raised his whip and urged the horse to move quickly.

Gu Xiaoyou put all the futons in the carriage under her buttocks and felt a little more comfortable.

She breathed a sigh of relief, lifted the car curtain and looked out the car window. There were tall trees standing outside the car window, and patches of golden wheat fields on both sides of the road.

The autumn wind blows, and the wheat in the field sways with the wind, making a rustling sound.

Not far from the wheat field is a high mountain, backed by a blue sky with white clouds floating in the sky.

A beautiful scene of crisp autumn air appeared before her eyes. Gu Xiaoyou took a breath of fresh air and said with emotion: "That's what was good about ancient times. The air was fresh and pollution-free."

After enjoying the beautiful scenery, Gu Xiaoyou's waist and legs no longer hurt. She lay by the window and looked at the scenery.

After watching for an unknown amount of time, the carriage slowed down and stopped in an open place.

"Miss, the carriage has arrived." The servant's voice came into the carriage.

"Oh, okay." Gu Xiaoyou responded, holding on to the car window, as if standing up, and sat back down as soon as he stood up.

"Ouch, I'm numb." Gu Xiaoyou patted her thigh and wailed.

The servant heard the sound and asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, just wait for me." Gu Xiaoyou replied, straightened his legs and patted them, quickly getting rid of the numbness, stood up, hid, and calmed down.
