The two immediately quickened their pace.

After approaching the gate, Frederick took Vera to the thick wooden door and pointed to a piece of silver-white metal in the upper right corner and said: "Vera, guess what it is?"

After a few glances, Vera shook her head blankly.

Frederick grabbed the wooden door with both hands, opened and closed slightly, the expression on his face became mysterious: "Did you hear the difference?"

Vera blinked and suddenly realized: "No sound!"

She asked a little excitedly: "This iron block can make the door open and close without sound?"

Frederick smiled and said, "Yes, it is called a door hinge. With it, there is no need to install a wooden hinge!"

"I heard that this is also the invention of the lord..."

He opened the door again, pointed at the back of the door and said, "Dear look, there are a total of 3 metal hinges installed on the door, and you will never hear that kind of creaking again..."

The admiration on Vera's face was even more obvious. At this moment, she felt from the bottom of her heart that the house made by the lord master was really great, and she really wanted to move in right away.

Like the Middle World on Earth, the other world uses wooden hinges, not only in the Middle Ages, but also in ancient China, but the ancient Chinese pipe hinges are called "shuttles."

Due to material reasons, the wear resistance of the wooden shaft is extremely poor. In addition, the weight of the wooden door is almost entirely borne by the shaft, and the door needs to be opened and closed frequently, so the wear rate is very fast.

Even a brand-new shaft, after a period of use, there will be obvious wear and tear. At this time, when the door is opened and closed, there will be an unpleasant "crunch". The longer it is used, the louder the sound.

As a traverser, Renault is naturally very unaccustomed to this noisy and unpleasant sound, so at his request, all the doors in the lord's mansion were replaced with metal door hinges.

When building public rental housing this time, metal door hinges were also listed as one of the standard equipment.

The purpose of this is to promote it.

Even terrapins like Frederick and his wife know the benefits of door hinges. Can anyone else see it?

Would they also want to install a few door hinges on their doors?

As long as there is demand, the stores opened by the Commercial Division in the territory will have one more competitive product.

However, the structure of the door hinge is so simple, will someone imitate it and then compete with the commercial department?

of course not!

Only a fool can imitate, because if he imitates one, he will lose one.

Can door hinges knocked out by hand be compared with machine-made hinges?

The former is silly and thick, and the hole positions of different hinges are different. Because it is all handmade, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the cost is scary.

The latter is all machined, the surface is silvery white and bright, and the appearance is beautiful, which seems to make people want to buy. Due to mass production, the cost is amazingly low.

Comparing the two, which one would civilians choose to buy?

Of course it is the latter!

In fact, the traditional blacksmith shop no longer exists in the territory. After the store under the Department of Commerce opened, the blacksmith shop that had been passed down for generations on Odin Island closed down.

Can it not go bankrupt?

However, everything sold in the blacksmith's shop is available in the commercial department store, and the quality is better, the appearance is more beautiful, and the price is cheaper.

The common people's money is not brought by the wind, and of course they will choose to go to the store to buy it.

Not only that, before the store opened, Lord Lord also specifically mentioned Goode, Director of the Department of Commerce, and taught a lot of tricks to the younger brother who followed him first.

For a whole week, the store hired a lot of children, and the whole territory was advertised everywhere, discounts and sales promotions were all over the place, and it was always full of discounts, and gifts were given out at intervals of three to five.

The local turtles in this world have never seen such battles. The first day the shops in Redstone Town opened, the whole town was a sensation. Because there were so many people coming to shop, even the gates were squeezed.

The poor blacksmith's shop only lasted for three days and couldn't hold it anymore.

In the past few days, it is a compliment to describe the blacksmith's shop as "Men Ke Luo Que", because there is not a single customer.

On the 4th day of the store’s opening, the blacksmith took a few apprentices around the shop. After returning, he quietly dismissed the apprentices and shut down the blacksmith’s shop. He went to the steel factory under the Department of Industry to report. Up.

No way, this old man still has his wife and children to raise. Since he can't start a business, he can only work part-time.

After entering the public rental house, the first thing you see is a spacious living room, white walls, flat concrete floor, and a conspicuous stone fireplace on the opposite wall.

Although the living room was empty without any furniture, just standing here, Frederick and Vera had a feeling of "home" in their minds.

That's right, this is home!

Compared with the house in front of me, the old shack made of planks and branches was simply the place where the livestock lived.

Among the other refugees in the living room, some even began to discuss the furnishings of the living room.

"Shirler, we can put the dining table here, facing the fireplace, so that we can enjoy the warm fire light when we eat..."

"My dear, the table at home is too broken, let's save money to buy a new table, the one we saw in the store last time, and a free tablecloth..."

"I think I should buy a few chairs first. The price is not expensive. The wooden chairs in the store have backrests. They feel much more comfortable to sit on..."

Listening to the discussion in the crowd, Frederick and Vera looked at each other, and both saw a strong desire in each other's eyes.

After the opening of the store in Redstone Town, the two of them also went shopping. Apart from the cheap and easy-to-use daily necessities, the most attractive thing is the furniture.

The workmanship of those furniture is very delicate. Whether it is a table, chair or a wooden cabinet, the surface is extremely smooth, even at the corners, without any unevenness.

The shape and structure of the furniture is actually not complicated, but it looks pretty good-looking, in the words of those shop assistants, it is "generous and elegant."

I heard that a lot of furniture was designed by the lord himself, and those shop assistants still said that many of the furniture in the shop were also used in the lord’s mansion.

how about it? Lord lord with the same furniture, is your heart moved?

Everybody's heartbeat!

No one who has seen furniture is like moving them home.

The civilians are only heartbeat, but the wallet limits their heartbeat.

The rich are different. They directly took out the gleaming Kinnar: What kind of lord do you use, and give me the original set?

what? The spot is sold out, need to book?

Isn't this a spot in front of you?

Are the displayed samples not for sale? Lord, can't I add more money to buy it?

The wealthy people in the territory wiped out the stocks in the store in a near-mopping posture. If it weren't for the large backstage of the store, I am afraid that they would not even be able to keep the samples displayed.

So, after brother blacksmith, brother carpenter also joined the ranks of the first batch of laid-off troops in the territory.

At this time Frederick and Vera were standing in this spacious and bright living room, and an idea arose in their hearts: Only the furniture in the shop is worthy of this room.

On the wooden wall on the left side of the living room, two smaller wooden doors are installed to connect two rooms, one large and one small.

I heard from people around me that this is called a "bedroom". Those decent people's homes are decorated like this, and the living room and the bedroom are specially separated.

Unlike the mud-legged home, there is only one room in the whole house, where you eat and sleep. Even if it is separated, it is just a few wooden boards to cover it at will.

This is not because civilians do not want to do this, but because of money!

Separating different rooms requires more walls, more doors, and more wood panels, which also means that the construction cost will be greatly increased.

For ordinary civilians, the cost of building the simplest wooden house is already somewhat unbearable. Of course, if you can save it, you can save it.

When the two visited the two bedrooms, Frederick squeezed his wife's hand intentionally, making Vera blush unconsciously.

She fully understood what her husband meant. The eldest daughter, Bella, was getting older. When the couple did some inexplicable things, they felt more and more inconvenient, and there was always a surreptitious feeling.

But it’s not the same if you have your own bedroom. How to toss you want, just toss like that...

The longer they visited this public rental house, the more satisfied they felt, and the stronger the feeling of wishing to move in right away.

There is no doubt that this is the best house they have ever seen in their lives!

Today’s Elon’s dressing up is extraordinarily spirited. No wrinkles can be seen on the sky-blue formal jacket and black trousers. The pale hair is also neatly combed, with a long gray-black brim on his head. The two mustaches on the lips have been carefully trimmed.

He must be so cautious, because the first large-scale thermal sailing ship in history, the Odin sailing ship, will conduct its first trial sailing today, and he is the captain of this ship.
