Chapter 227 Mei Niang, my mother is here to see you... (please recommend and vote monthly)
Below is a Burmese steel plate as long and wide as the sole of a shoe. The middle part is slightly higher and connected to two thumb-thick iron bars.
Above, there are three rings of Burmese steel sheets formed by welding along a groove made of Burmese steel.
In this way, Brother Niu can put it on like shoes, and there are buckles on the steel ring.
The laces made of cowhide can be used to firmly bind the legs to the metal-framed limbs.
Cheng Chubi looked at it for a long time and nodded with satisfaction.
"Sir, this is made according to your instructions, using the two Burmese steel bars you gave me and adding some iron."
"Because you asked for it to be strong enough, the materials used are very solid, but it is a bit heavy. One of these weighs fifteen kilograms."
"Have you tried it? How much weight can it bear?"
"I dare not say that it is too much. I can still carry three to five hundred kilograms. After all, the materials used here are of the highest quality, and I spent a lot of money to find the best craftsmen..."
Cheng Chubi tried it, and it turned out that even with his own strength, he couldn't shake the steel ring on it. Moreover, he made four pairs in one go.
As long as it wasn't too much trouble, Cheng Chubi felt that Brother Niu would have no problem wearing these four pairs of steel feet for ten or twenty years.
Although fifteen kilograms is not light, it depends on who it is. If it is a frail and thin man, such as the prince who is as good as a man with ribs.
The weight of fifteen kilograms is really too much, but for Brother Niu, who has a rather strong and strong physique, it is naturally not a problem.
With the metal frame, the rest is much simpler. The inner ring of the steel ring can be fixed with cowhide and natural adhesive isinglass or glue made from pigskin.
It not only plays the role of adjusting the diameter, but also protects the calf from direct contact with metal to avoid scratches.
The groove at the bottom is padded with thick cloth and then covered with leather, which can also act as a buffer.
In addition, leather will be added to the bottom to increase the wear resistance of the prosthetic bottom and increase friction and anti-slip.
Listening to Cheng Chubi's explanation, Cheng Ping quickly understood and took a pen and paper to write down Cheng Chubi's requirements one by one.
Only then did the servant and the servant take away the four prosthetic skeletons that had passed the Third Young Master's inspection, and began to add and beautify them later.
In the early morning of the next day, Cheng Chubi asked Cheng Guang to greet Yang Zhai first. He heard that not only their family, old and young, came out together.
Even Yang's eldest daughter Wu Shun and son-in-law Helan Yueshi were summoned.
When Cheng Chubi came and arrived at the entrance of the alley where Yang's house was located, he saw Helan Yueshi, a man who was too beautiful to be a man.
Next to him, stood a young woman who was slightly less beautiful than him and whose appearance was similar to that of Wu Mei. She must be Wu Shun, Mrs. Wu.
Tsk, tsk, tsk... Cheng Chubi almost burst into laughter when he saw this couple. Thinking about it, Mrs. Wu got a big advantage by being able to marry Helan Yueshi.
However, thinking that he was here to do business and not gossip, Cheng Chubi calmed his expression.
He dismounted and returned a salute to Helan Yueshi, who had already saluted him in advance.
"I've met Brother Helan and Madam Wu."
He Lan Yue Shi sincerely thanked Cheng Chubi.
"Thank you very much, Cheng Sanlang. If you hadn't helped me, Cheng Sanlang, I don't know what my mother-in-law would have been like..."
"This is just what I should do. I promised Master Sun that I would take good care of Wu Mei. If it weren't for the fact that I was not in Chang'an a few days ago, alas..."
Cheng Chubi was still a little embarrassed. As he was talking, he saw a carriage slowly coming to the entrance of the alley.
Yang in the car opened the curtain, Wu Cha also poked his head out, and Bi smiled sweetly.

The officers of the Imperial Medical Office once again saw Cheng Taichang, who had just appeared in the bubble yesterday and disappeared without a trace.
After asking about the difference, I found out that the ladies from the palace had just arrived, so I hurried inside.
Arriving at the place where the medical girls had class yesterday, Cheng Chubi heard the sound of reading loudly from inside, and Cheng Chubi looked around.
I saw an old man with gray hair sitting behind the desk, holding a medical book and shaking his head as he read.
There are a total of thirteen young and attractive young palace maids below, and today it is finally no longer just two of them.
Instead, each person has a case, and they all hold books. When the old man is read a sentence, they will read a sentence after him.
This kind of teaching method is very similar to the reading aloud style of Chinese language classes in later generations.
And the person sitting aside to supervise these palace maids is actually no longer the female historian she met before.
It's Deng Shangshi, whom we met several times yesterday, or should be called Deng Siyao now.
Deng Si Yao turned his head as if aware, and saw the tall and heroic Cheng Sanlang standing at the door.
He quickly stood up and came over to bow. "It's too common for me to see you. It's too common. This is..."
Cheng Chubi faced Deng Siyao, who had a gentle smile and a hint of flattery.
For some reason, I always have the illusion that when I go to school, I go to the next class to borrow stationery from the girl next door.
Especially when the bright eyes of more than a dozen girls in the room fell on his face,
Cheng Chubi felt increasingly guilty for no reason and moved his neck uncomfortably.
"Excuse me, Deng Si Yao, please call Wu Mei quietly for me. I have a little business with her."
Wu Mei had already spotted the sneaky Cheng Sanlang at the first moment.
The doctor who taught medical skills finally noticed something strange at the door and quickly stood up to greet Cheng Chubi.
After exchanging a few words with the doctor in a low voice and asking him to continue the class, Cheng Chubi led Wu Mei and strode out of the room.
"My mother and the others are here?" Wu Mei asked impatiently as soon as she left the house.
"Well, not only your mother and sister, but also Aunt Liu, by the way, your eldest sister and brother-in-law are also here, waiting for you outside."
#####
Wu Mei's steps became a little more urgent, and she followed Cheng Chubi quickly to the outside of the Yamen.
From a distance, I saw the carriage next to the Yamen and the familiar figures beside the carriage.
Wu Mei lifted up the hem of her skirt, quickly walked down the steps, and ran towards that direction.
Yang, who was distracted and anxiously waiting for the meeting, also saw Wu Mei running towards her.
After just one glance, her eyes were already red, and she hurried forward to greet her. "Meiniang, I'm here to see you..."
Wu Meiniang rushed forward regardless and threw herself into Yang's arms.
Even though she tried her best to control herself, tears burst out of her eyes, and her shoulders trembled in the autumn wind.
Watching their mother and daughter meet, Yang gently patted Wu Mei's back while trying her best to comfort her beloved daughter in her arms.
Mrs. Wu on the side had already buried her head in her husband's arms, and Aunt Liu was also sighing with red eyes.
The little Wu Cha stepped towards her mother and second sister, with a sweet and happy smile, and hugged her two most important relatives...
