Chapter Fifty-Eight: Making Darts
In the past two days, Li Ziyu found that the seven boxes of vegetables planted after the discovery have sprouted one after another, and she didn't have time to be surprised, but found that although the vegetables she planted had also grown, the vegetables were pale green and the roots were thin, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She knew it was due to the lack of photosynthesis.
Every day, she also moves the box under the window when the sun is strongest, so that the vegetables can get sunlight.
However, although the window paper is thin but not transparent, the sunlight in winter is not strong, and the sunlight shining on the vegetables is very weak, no wonder the vegetables grow like this.
It seems that this method of growing vegetables still doesn't work, and I blame myself for taking it for granted. In modern times, there are also those who grow vegetables on the balcony in winter, but she has only heard of it, and she does not know whether it will be successful or not. She planted more than a dozen boxes of vegetables with such fanfare, which was really reckless, and she didn't lose much money.
Li Ziyu didn't want so many vegetables to be wasted, so she desperately thought of a way to solve it. Although she is also a peasant girl, she has also followed her parents to the field, and she knows the set of spring plowing and autumn harvest in dry fields and paddy fields, but now what needs to be solved is photosynthesis, and that set is not needed at all. Li Ziyu's head hurt when she thought about it, and she didn't come up with a solution. In the end, there was really no way, so I decided to try more fertilization, which is also a no-brainer.
After solving the problem of vegetables, Li Ziyu decided to start making darts.
When she came back from the market that day, she stared at her crops, so that she couldn't sleep well for the past few days. After coming back, she didn't dare to tell Xiaoshan, for fear that he would not be able to hold his breath, and that he would be afraid.
She couldn't think of anyone who was following her, and she was following in disguise. Looking at the man, he doesn't look like a country man, and his feet are very stable, and he looks like a practicing family.
Could it really be Miss Sun? Intuitively, she wasn't. If it was Miss Sun, she would have been to the town several times, but it would be impossible for her to have no movement at all. If you want to find your own ballast, it is very easy for the Sun family, who is famous in Shiyan Town.
Whoever it was, she was in trouble, and I don't know when. She can't stop others from getting into trouble with her, she can only be more careful.
While being vigilant, you must also have a competent weapon. Her younger brothers also want to practice darts, and they can't practice big weapons, so let's start with darts.
Darts are a kind of competitive, fitness and recreational sport in modern times, but their special police practice is self-defense, offensive tricks, to put it bluntly, long-range and close-range assassination.
The simplest darts are willow leaf darts, spike darts, etc., and the techniques of throwing darts include 90-degree direct flight, 180-degree spin flight, 360-degree spin flight, etc.
There are also meteor darts, cross darts, four-star darts, four-square darts, etc. There is also a type called Yukitsuki darts, which is the Japanese shuriken ninja dart.
There are six throwing techniques and one hand-to-hand combat technique, which Li Ziyu will teach her younger siblings one by one.
After lunch that day, Xiaoshan was still reading and practicing calligraphy with his younger siblings in the West House. Now everyone is studying hard and doesn't want to be pulled down.
Now, everyone can memorize the surnames of the hundred families, and the three-character scripture can not only be memorized but also written. Although the handwriting is not very good, Li Ziyu is still happy for her younger siblings, and she is also very pleased.
"Zhao Qiansun, Li Zhou, Wu Zhengwang"
In the east room, Li Ziyu listened to the subdued recitation of the younger brothers and sisters in the west room, and was in a good mood.
She is making darts out of bamboo.
The bamboo she cut down last time she went to the bamboo forest was thrown into the corner of the hall. Because there were sick people living in the house, I put off making darts. In fact, at first, she wanted to make bows and arrows or crossbows, and bought them all for this cowhide.
However, when it was time to make it, she realized that she was thinking too simply, and she couldn't make a bow and arrow alone.
Bamboo, horns, tendons, fish bladders, and pigskin bladders are all needed to make bows and arrows. Bamboo, horns, and tendons can be bought, and fish maw and pigskin bladder are actually a kind of animal glue, which is a very critical material for pasting, and it is also easy to find. The point is that the production process is very complicated and not something she can make herself under the current conditions. The bow and crossbow are even more impossible, and the degree of complexity is simply not explained by a sentence or two. She knew all the materials and production process required to make bows and arrows and crossbows, and she could only wait for the conditions to be ripe later.
Besides, although there is no shortage of production masters among the people, the most high-end talents must be controlled by the imperial court. Even if she made it, she couldn't compete with the bows and arrows of the imperial court, she just wanted to defend herself. If she had the opportunity, she would like to make a bow and crossbow, and the most important thing is to have a blacksmith, and no blacksmith to make a bow and crossbow is an empty word.
Because Xiaoshan is a beginner and is still young, they should first use pure iron to make darts to practice, it is good to get started quickly and feel better. But at present, the family is under this condition, where to make pure iron darts? Besides, not to mention that ancient iron weapons must be limited, not to mention the limited financial resources of the family, it is a matter of attention in itself that a little girl goes to make pure iron darts. She couldn't let the family attract attention and bring danger to her younger siblings, so she had to let her younger siblings practice with darts made of bamboo.
Bamboo darts are thin at the front and thick at the back, and were originally used by those who are mature. Because bamboo is relatively lightweight, it is not easy for beginners to aim at the target. Li Ziyu had to make it as heavy as possible, hoping that it would be convenient for her younger siblings to practice.
Li Ziyu was making darts from the dagger she bought at home, when she heard a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard from far and near, and then the courtyard door was slammed.
Li Ziyu heard from the footsteps that it was a person coming.
"Is Li Ziyu at home?" At the gate of the courtyard, there was a sound like a peanut in a red restaurant.
The sound of Westinghouse's recitation stopped, and Xiaoshan said, "Sister, it seems that someone is coming." ”
Li Ziyu said: "It's okay, you read your book, I'll take a look." So saying, he got up and walked into the courtyard.
At the gate of the courtyard, sure enough, there was a little two peanuts in the daily red restaurant.
Although Li Ziyu's house was open, Peanut did not come in, but stood politely at the door.
"Brother Peanut, why are you here? What are you doing at the door? Come on in. Li Ziyu has a good impression of Peanut, and from the first time she met him, he could see that Peanut was a kind person, so Li Ziyu's words were warm and sincere.
Peanut hesitated for a moment and said, "I won't go in, Miss Xiaoyu, everything is ready in Hot Pot City, and the shopkeeper sent me to pick you up, saying that I want to try it and see how it tastes." ”
Li Ziyu understood, Wu Fan was afraid that the taste was wrong and smashed the signboard.
In fact, although Li Ziyu swore that the hot pot city would definitely be popular, she was not 100% sure in her heart. The most important thing is to boil the bottom of the pot, she is theoretically a set, but she has not actually operated it, who knows what it will taste like? Although she believes in chefs, she is not a chef after all. The taste of the bottom of the pot is limited by the heat, the ingredients, the amount of soup, and so on, so you have to taste it yourself to find out.
