Shen Wan's dried meat factory was built, a large number of people were hired, and production began.
On the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the stroller was well publicized, and within two days the woodwork factory received a lot of orders.
After the first batch of custom-made items were shipped, many married women pushed strollers out of the house.
Everyone felt that this stroller was convenient and practical. When they inquired about it, they found out that it was made in Mrs. Song's wood factory. Many families who could afford it went to the wood factory to order strollers.
This stroller is not cheap. It costs twenty taels of silver, and ordinary families cannot afford it.
Businessmen who sensed business opportunities also approached Izumo Villa.
When the businessmen arrived at Izumo Villa, they found that not only were the strollers good, but the wheelchairs, various rocking chairs, hanging chairs, and folding chairs made in the factory were also very good.
So in addition to ordering a lot of strollers, the merchants also ordered some chairs of each type, planning to ship them to other places for sale.
Orders increased suddenly. Although the workers in the carpentry factory were very excited and full of energy, the manpower was obviously not enough. So, Izumo Villa once again posted a notice recruiting carpenters. This time, there was no restriction on recruitment. The main purpose was to recruit carpenters. A craftsman who knows carpentry.
As we all know, Mrs. Song's factory provides good treatment, and everyone is proud to work in Mrs. Song's factory.
Anyone with carpentry skills applied, and after interviews and a series of assessments, 200 people finally passed.
Wang Mu is now regarded as the manager and R&D backbone of the wood factory. Although he has been very busy recently, he has not delayed making bicycles.
He had to find a blacksmith several times to make the sprocket and chain, and he also made a bell and brake on the handlebar.
Wang Mu made a big one and a small one. After they were finished, he had people test ride them for a while before arranging for them to be sent to the General's Mansion.
"The bicycles have arrived from Madam Villa," Huier reported as she entered the house.
Two boys moved two bicycles, one big and one small, into the yard.
"What bike?"
Song Ziling held his younger brother in his arms, raised his head and looked at his mother and asked.
He has a rest today, so he is at home.
"You'll know after you come and take a look," Shen Wan stood up and hooked her hand towards Song Ziling.
Song Ziling carried his younger brother out of the room and saw two wheeled objects in the yard that were the same style but different sizes.
"What is this for?"
Song Ziling walked to the bicycle and looked at it.
"Mom, let me demonstrate it to you, so you will know what it is used for?"
Shen Wan said to the two boys, "You go down first!"
The boy was also curious about what these two wooden things were used for, but when Shen Wan asked them to go down, he left with regret.
As soon as the boy left, Shen Wan asked Hui'er to close the courtyard door.
She lifted up the hem of her skirt and knotted it at her knees.
Song Ziling looked at his tough mother and suddenly understood why she wanted the boy to go out.
Under the watchful eyes of her two sons and maids, Shen Wan stepped onto the self-confidence car, kicked off the support, stepped on the pedals with both feet, and the two big wheels began to rotate forward under the drive of the chain.
"Move, move..." Xia Zhu was so shocked that she couldn't say anything when she saw the scene in front of her.
Song Ziling and Hui'er were also stunned. No one pushed or pulled, but this thing actually moved! This is amazing! Shen Wan rode a bicycle around the yard. There were no tires and there was a lot of resistance. , it’s still a bit strenuous to ride.
Especially in areas with bad roads, it will be even more difficult, so for now this can only be used as a toy.
After Shen Wan rode the bike back to Song Ziling, he pushed his brother into Hui'er's arms and said quickly, "Mom, I want to ride too."
Shen Wan got out of the car with a smile and handed the bicycle to him.
Because it has training wheels, the bike is easy to ride and there is no need to learn. Everyone can ride it.
