The capital is prosperous and the city is crowded with vendors. In the capital of a country, there are countless people here to make a living.

In this largest city today, it contains almost everything that people can think of.

Eat, drink, accommodation, transportation, and car, boat and shop.

All walks of life and all kinds of people, from royal relatives to peddlers and pawns, you can find everything you need and what you want here.

A simple craftsman shop was filled with various wooden mechanical parts and gadgets. A pig iron desk was placed in the middle of the crowded and messy shop. Kaiyang was wearing an apricot yellow skirt, standing in front of the desk, pointing on a spread drawing, explaining his requirements to the craftsmen opposite him.

The Craftsman is a middle-aged man who looks about forty years and is strong in shape. He is wearing a gray short shirt. His hair is as messy as if he hasn't washed for months. His face is full of beards, and he looks very sloppy.

Listening to Kaiyang's explanation of the drawings, the craftsman picked up a ragged rag from the side, and while wiping the greasy in his hands, he frowned and shook his head: "Miss Kaiyang, your design is too difficult, I can't make it in this store."

Kaiyang frowned, but did not seem very anxious, and still kept a polite smile and said, "Since that's the case, I won't cause trouble for you."

Kaiyang put away the drawings and was about to leave. The craftsman hesitated and called Kaiyang: "Miss Kaiyang!"

Kaiyang turned around and looked at the craftsman in confusion.

The craftsman hesitated for a moment before saying, "I know someone should be able to do what you want, but... he usually won't agree to someone else's entrustment."

His eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Where is it? I can try it!"

The craftsman reached out and pointed to the right, saying, "The store is at the end of this alley, with only a small house, the shop is very small, the owner is a young man, he doesn't do much business, and it will close from time to time. Go and try his luck. Even if he is here today, he may not necessarily take on business."

Kaiyang was a little curious and nodded with a smile and thanked: "Thank you for your advice from Master Jiao. But it doesn't matter, Fan Gao always has some personality. I hope this guy won't disappoint me."

After saying that, she waved her little hand like white jade and walked out.

When he left the door, Kaiyang didn't think much and walked straight into the alley. Not long after, he arrived at the door of the store that Master Jiao mentioned, looked around and found that the store door was closed.

The store is very small, not only small, but also not even a signboard. Just looking outside the door, the whole house is simple and dilapidated, as if a strong wind can blow the house down.

"Did it close again today?" Kaiyang said to himself. He hesitated and stepped forward: "Forget it, try your luck."

She walked to the door and raised her hand to knock on the door, but after waiting for a while, there was no response inside.

Kaiyang bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and placed his hand on the door panel and gently exerted force.

"Squeak..." The store door was not locked, and she gently pushed it, revealing a crack across the door.

Kaiyang blinked, then opened the door while talking: "Is anyone here?"

She pushed open the door and stepped inside.

The entrance is a yard. The yard is not big, only a few feet in a circle. A pear tree is planted in the southeast corner. A gust of wind blows, and the faint fragrance of fruit pours into the nose, and the mood of the sun is refreshed.

She stood in the yard for a while, and when she saw no response, she hesitated for a moment. Seeing that the shop in the yard was not closed, she raised her foot and walked towards the shop.

After entering the shop, Kaiyang's eyes lit up slightly. Although the shop was small, it was cleaned very clean. There were various exquisite works of the machine on the shelf behind the counter. There was a door hanging behind the counter with a curtain that vaguely led to the backyard.

On the largest open space in the middle of the shop, there was a semi-finished wooden product, which was originally covered with a piece of cloth, but the cloth slipped halfway, revealing the wooden joints and skeletons.

Kaiyang walked in and looked around and asked loudly: "Is anyone here?"

There was no response in the room. Kaiyang saw that there was no one in the room and shook his head and prepared to leave.

Just as she turned around, she suddenly glanced at a half-finished product hanging on the east wall. She was stunned for a moment, staring at the work intently, and couldn't help but walk towards it.

This is a wooden part, with five rings layered and passed by a piece of right-angle hardwood. At a rough look, it looks like half a secret lock. But when you look closely, the outer layer of the five rings is not smooth, but is covered with dense fine gears. Obviously, this should be a built-in part.

Kaiyang looked at it and was a little lost. He couldn't help but walk closer to him freely, with a look of admiration in his eyes. Just as he was about to reach out and touch him, he suddenly heard a series of coughs not far away.

She was slightly shocked and turned around to look. She saw the curtain leading to the backyard being lifted open. A young man coughed and opened the curtain and walked in, staring at Kaiyang with a bad face: "Who are you?"

The man is young, looking twenty-five or twenty-six years old, thin, pale and haggard, and washed clean and neatly in blue clothes. After asking, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and was obviously sick.

Kaiyang came to his senses, hurriedly hugged the drawings in his hand and walked to two or three steps away from the wooden products, and said politely: "Hello, I'm here to customize things. Master Jiao on the street said that you have superb skills and can complete some parts with very high requirements, I..."

Before she finished speaking, the man opposite interrupted coldly: "I'm not interested."

Kaiyang looked at the other party in surprise and stressed, "I can pay double the price."

The man turned around with a cold face and expressionless face: "The door is there, so it's easy to leave and not send it away."

Kaiyang was anxious and his eyes fell on the wooden products covered with cloth in the field. He had an idea and suddenly said loudly: "Oh, it's a pity that this wooden ox and horse are just showing its appearance and have not won the spirit."

The man had already reached out to lift the curtain, but after hearing Kaiyang's words, he suddenly turned around and asked anxiously: "What did you say?"

Kaiyang did not go to see the other party, but reached out to remove the cloth from the wooden product, looked up and down for a few times, sighing: "It's a very successful imitation, but it's a pity..."

The man walked over quickly from behind the counter and asked her anxiously: "What a pity?"

Kaiyang turned his head to look at him and said word by word: "It is better to have no books than to believe in books."

The man stood there in a daze, obviously not understanding what Kaiyang meant.

After Kaiyang said something, he turned around and walked slowly around the wooden ox and flowing horses, saying slowly: "In the ninth year of Jianxing, Zhuge Wuhou returned to Qishan. In order to solve the problem of inconvenient transportation of military food, he made wooden ox and flowing horses to transport military food. It was the first time that wooden ox and flowing horses became popular. Later, due to the complex production, the transportation of grain on the flat ground was not as convenient as chariots and horses, and there was nowhere to be available except Shu Road. So he disappeared with the failure of Wuhou's six out of Qishan, leaving only a few words and records in the classics."

The man held his hands and listened, nodding: Not bad, quite a bit sensible.

He looked at Kaiyang with admiration, and his tone became gentle: "My frame of wooden ox and horse has been in the store for a year, and you are the first person to recognize."

Kaiyang smiled: "The descendants have always wanted to copy Zhuge Wuhou's works, and there are countless losers. You are considered to be a good one."

"But you are not very satisfied." The man showed a curiosity on his face.
