Chapter 2925 The Secret of the Enamel Bowl Under Zhengyang Gate!

"Ding! The Salty Fish System is consuming the Magic Tome System. The host is temporarily unable to return to the real world!"

"Beep, based on the host's preferences, the system will send the host into the world of Zhengyangmen!"

"Ding! The Struggle System has issued a mission!"

"Beep! The secret of the four enamel bowls has been revealed. Reward: One Heart of the World!"

"Beep, time travel in progress..."

"Beep, time travel complete..."

As the ancient capital, Beijing had many city gates. Deshengmen was used for military chariots, Dongzhimen for wooden carts, Chaoyangmen for grain carts, and Chongwenmen for wine carts.
Compared to the other city gates, these four city gates are the most valued by the Nine Gates Admiral, and they are also the Nine Gates Admiral's money bag. Only trusted confidants can be appointed to these gates!
Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, there were four tax officials who were in charge of collecting taxes at the four city gates. They were very close friends and later became sworn brothers, exchanging four small enamel bowls as tokens of their brotherhood!

The names of the four small bowls are as follows:

"The aroma of tea"

"Gathering with friends"

"After the wine, let's leave."
"Go back upstairs"

After Wang Yue was summoned, the system task he was given was to find out the secret of these four small bowls.

Having experienced so many years of time travel, Wang Yue only had a slight guess, but he felt that this secret was probably related to Heshen, who had served as the Nine Gates Admiral!
Could it be that Heshen, whose property was confiscated, still has some hidden treasure somewhere?
Thinking about it carefully, it really is possible!
After all, Heshen was such a clever man that he must have understood that once Qianlong died, his good days would be over.

Even a rabbit knows to have three burrows; it's impossible that Heshen, who held immense power in the court, didn't know this principle.

If that's the case, then it's actually quite possible!
Wang Yue also absorbed some memories. In this world, he was a true Beijinger who had lived in Hanjia Hutong since he was a child!
He was classmates with Han Chunming, Cheng Jianjun, and Su Meng, but they didn't get along very well. He had fought with Han Chunming and Cheng Jianjun quite a few times when they were young.

Unfortunately, Han Chunming and Cheng Jianjun lived in the same courtyard and were as close as brothers, while Wang Yue was the only one of his generation of about the same age in his courtyard. He had no helper, so Wang Yue was always the one who suffered in every fight.

However, later everyone went to the countryside and suffered a lot. When they returned to the city, they were at different times. Although the two courtyards were not very far apart, they stopped fighting.

Of course, on the one hand, after a few years away, everyone has grown up, and on the other hand, everyone is anxious to find a job and has no time to think about past conflicts.

There are quite a few people returning this time, but there are only so many jobs available, so finding one is really difficult.

Wang Yue's father, Wang Qingshan, works at the Yan Bicycle Factory on Chaowai Street. He is extremely worried about Wang Yue's job.

Wang Qingshan went to the factory leaders several times to ask for their help, but the only response he got was to wait a little longer. There was no definite news, and everyone was uncertain.

This resulted in a consistently unpleasant atmosphere at Wang Yue's home.

After absorbing the memories, Wang Yue also realized that with his family's connections, obtaining a valuable position in the factory would be harder than climbing to heaven.

Wang Yue also knew that his parents wouldn't be at ease until he got this job!

After all, Wang Yue is getting older and has reached the age where he needs to find a partner.

But a woman's marriage depends on her husband's livelihood. If a man doesn't have a proper job, even a matchmaker can't find a good match for him.

Wang Yue himself wasn't in a hurry, but he didn't want his family to be anxious either. After thinking for a moment, he said to his younger sister, Wang Xia, who was silently eating, "Xia, bring me your paper and pen. I want to draw something."

Wang Xia listened to his parents nagging about his brother's job. He sensed that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to say a word. He just wanted to finish eating as soon as possible and go out to play.

To Wang Xia's utter surprise, her parents didn't bother her, but her brother Wang Yue suddenly came looking for her.

"it is good!"

Wang Xia knew she couldn't argue at this point, lest she attract her parents' attention. She quickly agreed, finished her rice in her bowl, and then went to her room.

It's called Wang Xia's room, but it was originally a room for Wang Yue and Wang Xia. However, now that Wang Xia has grown up, it's not convenient for Wang Yue to stay there when he comes back. So, they simply built another wall next to the kitchen to create a small room.

The small room could only fit a bed; there was no room for anything else. So Wang Yue's belongings were actually still in his sister's room.

After handing the paper and pen to Wang Yue, Wang Xia saw him start drawing while leaning over the table, so she stood beside him and watched.

Wang Qingshan had also finished his meal and noticed the siblings' movements. He frowned and asked,

"Xiaoyue, what are you drawing over there?" Wang Yue didn't even look up, and said while drawing, "Dad, I saw a scene in the movie theater. There was a kind of bicycle with speeds that you could adjust."

I'm quite interested in this, so I wrote it down. Later, you can take my drawings to the factory manager; if they're useful, I'll have a job, right?

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingshan retorted irritably, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. There are several model workers in the factory, and their children are still unmarried."

Wang Yue shook his head and said, "Dad, this is different from the model worker thing."

There are several bicycle factories in Beijing, and the competition among them is quite fierce.

"If your factory manager won't hire me, I'll take these bicycle blueprints to other factories. If those other bicycle factories hire me, then I'll be designed by them."

After listening to Wang Yue's idea, Wang's mother thought it made a lot of sense, and then spoke seriously.
"Qingshan, I think Xiaoyue's reason is acceptable. The factory leaders also deserve credit for developing the new bicycle."

Wang Qingshan was speechless when he saw that his mother had actually taken it seriously.

"Many people have seen the things in the movie, and no one else can design them. Can our child design them?"

Wang's mother had an inexplicable confidence in her child, and she said it as a matter of course.
"Xiao Yue has been smart since he was a child. He fought against both the Han and Cheng families by himself and never suffered a major loss. How could he not be smart?"

Wang Qingshan was speechless at his mother's words. Even if he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that what his mother said made a lot of sense.

Wang Xia couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. She knew that her older brother was most afraid of people talking about this embarrassing thing, but she didn't expect that Wang's mother would praise him as a good thing.

Wang Yue was utterly exasperated by his parents' words, so he quickened his pace.

Although a bicycle has many parts, Wang Yue only needs to draw an overall diagram and replace the gears.

So it didn't take up much of Wang Yue's time. While his mother was still reminiscing about Wang Yue's embarrassing childhood stories, Wang Yue had already finished drawing the blueprints.

Wang Yue quickly interrupted Wang Qingshan's attempt to continue, pushing the blueprints in front of him and saying...
"Dad, you've been in the bicycle workshop for so long, what do you think of my design?"

Wang Qingshan was an ordinary assembly worker, but he had a good understanding of bicycle performance. After looking at the bicycle, he immediately understood its advantages.

In short, adjusting the gearshift makes it easier for cyclists to ride, but requires them to pedal more times.

Wang Qingshan couldn't see any advantage in this bicycle. In his opinion, if he wanted to ride faster and more easily, he could just ride a bigger bike.

So Wang Qingshan said uncertainly, "Do you think this car is useful? I feel it's not as fast as the 28-inch model."

Wang Yue was both amused and exasperated. He quickly reminded him, "Dad, there's a limit to how well we can recover, just like a spring."

If you can use less effort, you'll need to climb more laps, but you'll be able to last longer.

Wang Xia was already in high school. She thought her brother's words made a lot of sense, so she looked at Wang Yue with admiration.

Deep down, Wang's mother still held some patriarchal views. In her eyes, even the slightest progress Wang Yue made would be praised endlessly. Now, seeing Wang Yue speaking so confidently, although she didn't know if the multi-speed bicycle he was talking about was actually useful, she still quickly urged him on.

"Qingshan, you don't understand technical matters. Isn't your factory manager from a technical background? Why don't you just let him take a look?"

Wang Qingshan knew he couldn't win the argument, so he wanted to hide away and avoid the situation. Therefore, he took the blueprints and said...
"Okay? I'll go find him and take a look. Luckily, he's at home right now, unlike at the factory where there are too many people around."

Wang Yue could tell that Wang Qingshan wanted to hide away, and he also wanted to go out to avoid being nagged at home, so he simply said...

“Dad, I’ll go with you. I’m afraid you won’t be able to explain it clearly on your own.”

Wang Qingshan saw through Wang Yue's thoughts, but he didn't expose him. He simply pushed his bicycle and took Wang Yue with him.

Mrs. Wang could tell that the father and son disliked her nagging, but she knew she had to give her husband some face, so she didn't make a fuss.

But after Wang Qingshan and Wang Yue left, she turned around and saw Wang Xia looking reluctantly at the door. She couldn't help but scold her.
"You've finished your homework, right? Then come and help me wash the dishes!"

Wang Xia knew she was being targeted, so she quickly picked up her pen and paper and ran to her room. Once inside, she left behind a single sentence.
"Mom, I haven't finished my homework yet. I'm going to do it now."

Seeing her daughter flee in such a disheveled manner, Mrs. Wang felt that she had regained her dignity, so she didn't hold it against her anymore and went to the kitchen with a smug look on her face!
