They immediately quickened their pace.

Close to the gate, Frederick took Vera to the back of the thick wooden door, pointed to a silver metal in the upper right corner and said, "Vera, guess what that is?"

Vera glanced and shook her head in a daze.

Frederick grasped the wooden door with both hands, opened and closed it slightly, and his face became mysterious: "do you recognize the difference?"

Vera blinked her eyes and suddenly realized: "there is no sound!"

She asked excitedly, "this iron can make the door open and close silent?"

Frederick said with a smile, "that''s right. It''s called door hinge. With it, you don''t need to install a wooden shaft!"

"It''s said that this is also the Lord''s invention..."

He opened the door again, pointed to the back of the door and said, "honey, you see, there are three metal hinges installed on the door, and you won''t hear that kind of creak again..."

Vera''s praise on her face was more obvious. At the moment, she felt from her heart that the house built by the LORD was so good that she wanted to move in immediately.

Like the Middle Ages on the earth, the wood rotating shaft is also used in the alien world. In fact, it''s not only in the middle ages, but also in ancient China. It''s just that in China, the rotating shaft is called "pivot".

Because of the material, the abrasion resistance of the wooden shaft is very poor. In addition, the weight of the wooden door is almost borne by the shaft, and the door needs to be opened and closed frequently, so the abrasion speed is very fast.

Even if it is a brand-new shaft, after a period of use, there will be obvious wear and tear. At this time, when opening and closing the door, there will be an ugly "creak" sound. The longer you use it, the louder the sound will be.

As a passer-by, Renault was not used to the noise, so at his request, all the doors in the Lord''s mansion were replaced with metal hinges.

The construction of public rental housing, metal door hinge is also listed as one of the standard.

The purpose of doing so is to promote it.

even Frederick and his wife like woodlouse know the benefits of door hinge. Others can''t see it.

Would they also like to install some hinges on their front door?

As long as there is a demand, the stores opened by the Department of Commerce in the territory will have another competitive product.

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

Of course not!

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

Can the door hinges knocked out by hand compare with those made by machine?

The former is big and thick, and the holes of different hinges are not the same. Due to the full manual production, it is time-consuming and labor-consuming, and the cost is frightening.

The latter are all processed by machine, the surface is silver white and bright, the appearance is beautiful, it seems that people have a desire to buy, because of mass production, the cost is also surprisingly low.

Compared with the two, which one will civilians choose to buy?

The latter, of course!

As a matter of fact, there are no traditional blacksmith shops in the territory. After the shops under the Department of Commerce opened, the blacksmith shops on Odin Island, which have been handed down for generations, closed down.

Can we not close down?

All the things sold in the blacksmith''s shop are available in the Department of Commerce''s shop, and they are of better quality, more beautiful in appearance and cheaper in price.

The money of the civilians is not from the strong wind. Of course, they will choose to buy it in the shops.

Not only that, before the store opened, the Lord specially mentioned Goodall, director of the Department of Commerce, and taught him many unique skills.

For a whole week, the store hired a lot of children. It publicized all over the territory. It offered discounts and promotions. It was always about how much it was full and how much it was reduced. It also gave gifts every three or five times. It was full of tricks.

the woodlouse of the world has seen such a battle. The first day of the shop opened in Hongshi Town, the whole town was full of excitement, because there were so many people coming shopping that even the gates were crushed.

The poor blacksmith''s only lasted for three days, so he couldn''t carry it.

In the past few days, it''s a compliment to describe a blacksmith''s shop as "empty door", because there are no customers.

On the fourth day of the store''s opening, the blacksmith took several apprentices around the store. When he came back, he quietly dismissed the apprentices and shut down the blacksmith shop. He himself went to the iron and steel plant under the Department of industry to report.

There''s no way. This man has a wife and children to support. Since he can''t start a business, he can only work.

After entering the gate of the public rental house, the first thing to notice is a spacious living room with snow-white walls, flat concrete floor, and a prominent stone fireplace on the opposite wall.

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

Yes, this is home!

Compared with the house in front of us, the former shack made of wooden boards and branches is a place for livestock.Among the other refugees in the living room, some even began to discuss the furniture of the living room.

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

"Honey, that table at home is too broken. Let''s save money to buy a new table, just like the one we saw in the store last time, and give a table cloth for free..."

"I think we should buy some chairs first, and the price is not expensive. The wooden chairs and backrests in the shop are very comfortable..."

Listening to the comments in the crowd, Frederick and Vera look at each other and see a strong desire in each other''s eyes.

In addition to the two cheapest items that attract people to visit Hongqi, the most popular one is the daily furniture.

The furniture is exquisitely made. Whether it''s tables, chairs or wooden cabinets, the surface is extremely flat, even at the corner. There are no uneven places.

In fact, the shape and structure of these furniture are not complicated, but they look pretty. In the words of those shop assistants, they are "generous and elegant".

It''s said that a lot of furniture was designed by the Lord himself. The shop assistants also chiseled it. A lot of furniture in the shop is also used by the Lord''s house.

How''s it going? Lord, do you like the same furniture?

Everyone''s heart!

No one who has seen the furniture doesn''t want to move it home.

Civilians are only attracted, but wallets limit their movements.

Rich people are not the same, they directly took out the glittering jinnar: Lord, what kind of, give me the original set!

What? Spot sold out, need to book?

Isn''t this in stock?

Are the samples on display not for sale? Sir, can''t I buy it with more money?

The rich people in the territory used a kind of almost sweeping posture to sweep away the stock in the store. If it wasn''t for the large backstage of the store, I''m afraid they couldn''t even keep the samples on display.

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

At this time, Frederick and Vera were standing in the spacious and bright living room, and an idea came into their mind: only the furniture in the shop could match the room.

On the wooden wall on the left side of the living room, two smaller wooden doors are installed, connecting two rooms.

Listen to the people around, this is called "bedroom", those decent people''s home is such a layout, will deliberately separate the living room, bedroom.

Unlike the mud leg''s home, there is only one room in the whole house. Eating and sleeping are all in it. Even if it''s separated, it''s just a few pieces of wood to cover it at will.

It''s not that civilians don''t want to do this, it''s because of the money!

To separate out different rooms, you need more walls, more doors, more planks, which means that the cost of construction will be greatly increased.

For ordinary people, the cost of building the simplest wooden house has become unbearable. Of course, it can be saved.

When they visited the two bedrooms, Frederick squeezed his wife''s hand to make Vera blush unconsciously.

She fully understood her husband''s meaning. Bella, the eldest daughter, was getting older. When the couple did something indescribable, they felt more and more inconvenient. There was always a feeling of furtiveness.

But it''s different to have your own bedroom. How do you want to toss, just toss

The longer they visited the public rental house, the more satisfied they were, and the stronger they felt that they wanted to live in it immediately.

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

Today''s Elon is dressed with great spirit. There is no wrinkle on his sky blue formal coat and black trousers, and his slightly white hair is neatly combed. He has a long gray black hat brim on his head, and even his two moustaches on his lips have been carefully trimmed.

He has to be so careful, because the first thermal magic powered sailing ship in history, the Odin, will make its first trial voyage today, and he is the captain of the ship.
