Bicycle.
The most precise part was the chain.
Qiao Xiaomai only had a vague impression of this thing, as she used luxury cars instead of bicycles as transportation in her future life, so even having a rough idea of the bicycle chain was a testament to her good memory.

Her drawings were blurry, and Tongsanlang could only guess.
An afternoon passed quickly.
Qiao Xiaomai then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao.
It was actually quite boring for Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao to stay here. This afternoon, after they summoned Fan Linong and asked him a few questions, they sent him away and then wandered around the manor. When they saw Wang Tiesheng and his wife feeding pigs, the grandfather and grandson struck up a conversation with the couple.
This scared Wang Tiesheng and his wife quite a bit; they were nervous even when they saw the head of the grain depot, let alone these two nobles, and they were so frightened they didn’t know where to put their hands and feet!
Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao were also trying to understand the peoples’ conditions. With the head of the grain depot in charge of Bailu Town, there were no major upheavals, and the common people generally lived quite well.
Wang Tiesheng and his wife were mainly poor because an elder in the family had fallen ill and all their savings were exhausted.
It must be said that, at this time, the common people’s ability to withstand risks was very poor; if someone in the family became ill, they could only sell their land.
Without land, the family’s lifeline was gone.
Wang Tiesheng’s family had only thirty acres of land, which they now had sold to Tongsanlang, and their lifeline was about to be lost.
However, working here, they both could earn four hundred coins a day. The other day, when there was no work due to the explosives, Tongsanlang still gave them their cooper coins, saying it was to calm their nerves.
Overall, without their land, they felt empty inside, but being able to receive a hefty sum of cooper coins every day made them quite happy.
After chatting with the couple, Yang Wenxiao reminded them to work hard before he and Yang Hao left together.
Being born in Bailu Town and encountering a kind-hearted person like Qiao Xiaomai was also a blessing for this couple.
Qiao Xiaomai learned of Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao’s actions from Qiao Changshun and had a flash of inspiration.
If the grandfather and grandson were so bored, then she might as well create a little trinket!
That evening, she found Tongsanlang and asked him to carve some wooden blocks. Yes, she wanted to bring Mahjong into existence.
The charm of Mahjong is clear to anyone from the future: nine out of ten billion people play Mahjong, and the other billion are watching, whether they are seventeen or seventy, they all love it.
Besides Mahjong, there’s also the game of Dou Dizhu (Fight the Landlord).
The charm of Dou Dizhu goes without saying, Qiao Xiaomai even had the app on her phone and used to play it in her spare time.
So the couple one carved wood, and the other cut rice paper.
Compared to playing cards, rice paper was somewhat soft, but in the absence of proper materials, it would have to do for now.
The couple stayed busy until late into the night, and the first set of Mahjong and playing cards in this era were born.
While roughly made, it did not detract from their essence.
Given their conditions, producing these was already quite impressive.
The next day, after breakfast, Qiao Xiaomai laid out the rudimentary set of Mahjong and playing cards in front of Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao.
The grandfather and grandson looked curiously at these rough items in front of them, waiting for Qiao Xiaomai to enlighten them.
“This is called ‘Stacking Gold Blocks,'” Qiao Xiaomai indicated the small wooden blocks.
She wasn’t clear about the origin and history of Mahjong. If she called it Mahjong, Yang Wenxiao would certainly ask all sorts of questions, and if she couldn’t answer, that would be bad.
So she simply gave it another name.
