Chapter 12: Candidates

"Did you find it, I didn't deliberately aim, I just judged the distance of the target in advance, estimated the wind direction, and then when I raised my hand to shoot, I calculated the elevation angle value and deflection value, so I seemed to have an arrow at hand, but in fact, I was already confident.

At the moment of launch, I made sure that the bow and arrow were in the most correct position. That's enough, aim for the longest, the moment you launch the wrong posture, it's still useless. ”

After archery, Yang Wenli explained his archery experience, so that the young people could understand the deep truth. This point is very rare, the ancient masters only talked about feelings, but could not say scientific truths, because they themselves were also accumulating over time, and when they had feelings, they only knew that they should shoot like this.

Of course, the bows and arrows of the ancients were not standardized, there was no hammer to calculate the angle, and there were no feathers to judge the wind direction and wind power, so there was no way to teach like Yang Wenli, and only relied on apprentices to practice understanding.

"Intensify your practice, you have to practice hard, you can't practice blindly, you are like this, I don't know when and when you can reach my level?" Yang Wenli said a few heavy words rarely.

The teenagers didn't dare to refute, so they had to honestly go to the side to practice archery. The young master practiced the same as them, but everything was top-notch, and he taught them hand-in-hand, and they had almost nothing to say, and the teenagers, who were already very good, only felt that they were not good enough, and they had to practice hard.

……

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and Yang Wenli has not achieved any results in firing bone china, and the teenagers have not made much progress in practicing archery. How can there be a good thing in the world, if you don't experience bitter cold, how can there be the fragrance of plum blossoms?

This year, the north has begun to suffer from a major drought, but the south is still calm and peaceful. At present, Yang Wenli's strength is still very weak, so that he does not dare to step out of the spear mountain and rush half a step.

The old lady hoped for this, she didn't dare to let her baby son go out, she would rather him go to the back mountain every day to practice martial arts, and would rather he try to make some new porcelain and waste time. Peace is a blessing, she hasn't hugged her grandson yet! She has been begging for her son's daughter-in-law recently.

It is still very difficult for Yang Wenli to ask for a wife, the Yang family is a businessman, belongs to the end of the four people, and the small landlord who is the right person still looks down on his Yang family, after all, he is not allowed to study, and the Yang family's future achievements are very limited, and they are more poor than the previous one.

Of course! It's still too early to ask for a daughter-in-law, Yang Wenli doesn't look at the birth of a cow, in fact, he is only fourteen years old, and he is still not full of age, and the old lady just wants to help her son find a child daughter-in-law.

In ancient times, small landlord families were interested in begging for child brides, the first was cheap, and the second was good! The status of the father-in-law and mother-in-law is more guaranteed, and the daughter-in-law is not afraid of the roar of the lion in Hedong.

It is not so easy to be a daughter-in-law, you have to choose both appearance and birthday, and a few years is not much. As mentioned earlier, the Yang family is a businessman, a good woman looks down on the Yang family, the daughter of a poor family, and the old lady is not very willing.

"Bah" Yang Wenli smashed a porcelain bowl that could not meet his requirements.

"Hey, hey! You loser, what are you smashing a good bowl for? You see! You see! How white is this enamel! The old lady picked up a piece of porcelain and couldn't help but scold him bitterly.

"What kind of whiteness is this? This is bone china, the top porcelain, to be as white as jade, crystal warm and moist, unqualified porcelain must be smashed. Yang Wenli retorted disappreciatively.

"Son! You've been burning it for more than half a year, and it's hard to burn the finished product, it's a pity to smash it, keep it for your family! The old lady was still reluctant and thought of a way to get the best of both worlds.

"Mother, give me more patience! Now that I have already fired it, as long as I adjust the glaze formula, I will definitely be able to fire qualified porcelain. Yang Wenli patiently explained to his mother.

"Alas! It's up to you! It's up to you! It's a shame that such a good porcelain is smashed. The old lady chattered a few words and left.

When his mother left, Yang Wenli sat on the ground and wondered what was wrong? What he just said is very light, in fact, the problem is still very troublesome, in the final analysis, there is a problem with the shell, it is not pure calcium carbonate after all, and there may be some trace of other ingredients.

Besides, experimenting like this every day, even the shells used in the experiment have become a problem, and he wonders if he should send someone to the beach to pick up a boatload of shells and come back?

Sooner or later, he will have to go, and after a large number of fires, he will definitely have to go to the beach to collect shells, and there are not so many shells in the mainland for him.

From Qizhou to the sea, he had to pass through several provinces, and the road was far away, and it was impossible for him to go by himself, and his mother would definitely not agree. The teenagers are still too young to stand up, and besides, their archery skills have not yet been completed, so it is very risky to go.

"Alas! What a dilemma! Yang Wenli couldn't help but shake his head and sighed.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Wenli decided to discuss it with his mother.

……

"Mother, I want to send someone to the beach to buy a boat shell back, which one do you think is more suitable?" After dinner, Yang Wenli raised his own question.

"I think Zhao Laosi is good, he broke through outside in his early years and saw the world." The old lady proposed a candidate. She said that Yang Wenli was a loser, but in fact, she still supported him in trying to make bone china, that is, those unqualified porcelain, she thought it was very good, at least it proved that her son was not messing around.

"Fourth Uncle Zhao has enough experience, but after all, he is old, the road is so far, and there are bandits everywhere, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it!" He also took a fancy to Zhao Laosi in his heart, but he was also afraid that Zhao Laosi would not be able to cope with the sinister situation outside.

"You can arrange for two older teenagers to go with you, they have big shoulders and round waists, and they can scare a lot of people. Supplemented by Zhao Laosi's sophistication, I believe that it will be foolproof. "The old lady is worthy of being an old ginger, and the thing she thinks about is to become old.

"Alas! That's all there is to it, their archery skills are not yet complete, and I really don't want to interrupt their drills. Yang Wenli reluctantly agreed to his mother's plan.

"Son, it's not your mother who said you, they're already very good! Are you training them as generals? Even at their level, you are not satisfied. The old lady couldn't help but vomit as a fast talk.

"Hey, hey, hey! Our small family can only support so many families, of course I have to train them better! Yang Wenli pretended to be embarrassed to be coquettish in front of his mother, and replied that he would never grow up in front of his mother.

Yang Wenli played a little trick, and in an instant the old lady smiled, and the mother and son were talking happily, a warm and harmonious scene.

In fact, Yang Wenli's heart was answering "yes", the ten of them are just the first batch, they are seeds, and there will be a second batch and the third batch in the future, and they will be handed over to them to do the training in the future, so he has to keep improving.
