Upon hearing Tong Sanlang's explanation, Qiao Xiaomai's enthusiasm was completely extinguished.
She said with some trepidation, "You're right… we're not short on silver anyway, let's not fuss over this anymore."
"No, according to what you've said, the bicycle is very useful, we can try making an improved version first," Tong Sanlang suggested thoughtfully.
"What kind of improved version?" Qiao Xiaomai asked.
"One for toddlers, with three wheels."
The image of a toddler's tricycle immediately came to mind for Qiao Xiaomai.
"We'll say it's for Dami, and to be honest, it looks like a mini carriage; we could say the inspiration came from carriages," Tong Sanlang said, recalling the image of the tricycle Qiao Xiaomai had described to him, and he couldn't help but feel eager to start.
He knew many assorted tasks and understood some carpentry; hmm...
He wanted to try making one himself.
Qiao Xiaomai "..."
Tong Sanlang's face displayed four large characters: Bursting to try.
