Chapter 359: Strength

After a short time, the freshly washed Wei Feng and Sister Xie's flowers came to the dining hall accompanied by Miss Chen, and the women in the room were already waiting for their seats.

In the face of many playful eyes, Sister Hua was a little embarrassed, and after squirming and saluting Yu and Mrs. Chu, Liu Xingnan followed and shouted: "Wen Chan, Wen Li, although you are the latest to get started, Xing Nan dares to guarantee that you are definitely not the last two, the general is very colorful!" ”

"Lang Jun, Xingnan is not wrong, right?" Xie Wenli and Xie Wencian immediately cast slightly pantothenic eyes on Wei Feng, and the rest of the women also had a good look of drama.

Wei Feng pointed to Liu Xingnan unhurriedly: "Xingnan is right, isn't there still her queuing?" ”

"Hmm!" Xie Wencian hurriedly nodded his little head: "Xingnan, I really don't understand what you think all day long, how can a girl's family not marry?" Otherwise, you and the general will have a round house tonight. ”

Xie Wenli didn't know where the idea came from, and said with a sly smile: "Didn't the general say that he wanted to sow seeds for Sister Jiaojiao?" It just so happens that Sister Jiaojiao is your aunt, let's go together, if you don't understand the things of men and women, Sister Jiaojiao can teach you, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. ”

The women present were all secretly speechless, Liu Jiao was even more red-faced, they didn't understand how the quiet and delicate Xie Wenli could say such a thing, in fact, the joy of the bed is not only limited to men and women, the second daughter can also bring extra fun by serving a husband, Xie Wenli is the taste of eating marrow!

These words also reached Wei Feng's heart, after glancing at Liu Jiao. set his eyes on Liu Xingnan again, Liu Xingnan smiled disdainfully like a nobody: "Wen Chan, Wen Li, don't bother, the general is too obscene, Xingnan looks down on him!" As he spoke, he peeled off a puzzle dumpling three times and two times, and took a bite of it!

Puzzle dumplings are a unique delicacy of Lingnan, and it is recorded in "Southern Grass and Trees": Puzzle seeds. Like a pen. Seven or eight minutes long, February flowers, color lotus, fruitful. May and June ripe. Spicy. Among the miscellaneous five flavors, fragrant, it can also be salted. Out of Jiaozhi, Hepu, Jian'an eight years, Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Zhang Jin tasted the wisdom of the dumplings to Emperor Wu of Wei.

Today's breakfast, in addition to the puzzle dumplings, there are also oil rice and salted water clams, which are all Lingnan characteristics, saltwater clams needless to say, the so-called oil rice, it should be the kind of rice that Shuanglong Zhongkou Xu and Xu learned to make, it is complicated to fry shrimp, fish roast, chicken, goose, boiled pig and sheep, chicken soup, cake enema, steamed intestine vegetables, powdered soup, banana seeds, ginger cinnamon, salt soy sauce, pretending to eat, belongs to the more luxurious food, mostly used for pregnant women and fetal nourishment.

According to Wei Feng, the Lingnan people at that time ate all kinds of wild animals that could be reluctantly accepted, such as snakes, but also ate bats!

"Lingzhi Diagram" has a cloud: "Bat, long live the life of the service!"

Even if it is Wei Feng, he can't accept such a heavy taste, but it is not incomprehensible, limited by the topography and productivity level at that time, the rice yield is insufficient, and the coastal area is slightly better, you can fish for a living, but in the vast inland mountainous areas, in order to fill your stomach, you can only have what to eat, and Lingnan people pay attention to food therapy is also forced by the environment, and the hot and humid climate has created frequent diseases, so it is necessary to strengthen the body's resistance to disease through food supplements!

Just as puzzle dumplings and oil rice belong to health foods, Liu Xingnan at this time was very happy to hold a big rice dumpling, and Mrs. Chu and Chu Lingyuan exchanged a crying and laughing look, and greeted helplessly: "Feiyang, you too, why are you arguing with Xingnan early in the morning?" Come, sit down and eat! ”

Wei Feng smiled, sat down next to Xiaolan, took Xiao Qinghui into his arms, picked up the oil rice, and bowed his head and called: "Ah! ”

"Ahh Xiao Qinghui opened her mouth obediently, and Wei Feng picked up a little oil rice with chopsticks and stretched it out.

For the women here, it is rare to see a man feeding a child, especially Wei Feng is still careful, which makes their eyes more or less soft, unexpectedly, only a small mouthful, Xiao Qinghui opened her mouth and waited to feed it, Wei Feng had already handed her to Xiaolan, and said: "Okay, I don't have time to serve you, I have to leave quickly after eating, let your mother feed it!" ”

Xiaolan replied with an angry look, and took the child into her arms, and the girls couldn't cry or laugh, and picked up their rice bowls one after another.

After a while, the delicious breakfast was swept away, Wei Feng patted his belly, and said with satisfaction: "You stay at home, the craftsman camp is looking for me, I have to go and take a look." ”

Liu Xingnan seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "General, where are the bananas, lychees, sugar cane, etc. you mentioned in Jiankang?" Didn't you say it's on the side of the road? It's been two days since we've been here, and we haven't even seen a shadow, are you bragging? ”

"Huh~~" Wei Feng chuckled: "Why do you still eat when you are full?" Lychee, don't think about it for the time being, bananas and sugarcane are in season, and when you are free in two days, I will take you to the nearby mountains to have a look. ”

"Humph!" Liu Xingnan also snorted coldly: "Don't come with you, can't we go out ourselves?" I heard that there is a Yuexiu Mountain in the north of Panyu City, the scenery is beautiful, Ge Hong's wife Bao Gu is convenient for this mountain to ascend to immortals, we just go to worship the immortals, but also to pray to the gods to protect the safety of the two sisters and children! ”

"Hmmm! Well! As soon as these words came out, all the women were very interested, Xie Wenli and Xie Wencian were even more busy nodding their little heads, only Xiaolan and Wei Shuang showed a gloomy color, no way, one of them wanted to take care of the child, and the other had a big belly.

Wei Feng's face suddenly sank, and he said dissatisfiedly: "That's not good, you have to go with the whole family, it's inconvenient for you to climb the mountain, isn't it?" It doesn't matter, I'm here, you can go up the mountain, Xiaolan, you give Qinghui to me, I'll take her up the mountain, in short, don't leave Shuangshuang sister and Xiaolan, I'll come back before noon, let's go together! After speaking, he hurried out quickly!

As if he was really in a hurry, Wei Feng called a few guards to rush all the way out of the door, and soon came to the temporary camp stationed on the seaside.

Since it takes time to build the house, the whole army is still living here for the time being, and the whole camp is very busy. Children and women are running around, and the air is filled with the aftertaste of cooking smoke, full of a strong breath of life.

The craftsman camp should be a little more inward, Wei Feng with a smile on his face, greeted the men, women and children who greeted him one by one, and at the same time did not forget the soles of his feet like flying, just like that, greeting while walking, and the craftsman camp appeared in front of him in a short time.

Before I got close, there was a tinkling and clanging sound. Waited for the inside. It is even more in full swing, and the craftsmen of the whole army are concentrated here, including blacksmiths, carpenters, shipbuilders, and those who make armor and arrows. In a word. Everything the needs of the army can be met here. The only drawback is that the scale is small, after all, Wei Feng can't take all the craftsmen away, and more or less has to reserve some manpower for the guild.

Seeing Wei Feng coming. An old craftsman said: "General, according to the drawings you gave on the ship, I studied day and night while I had nothing to do, but I found some ways to make a crossbow, I don't know if it suits your liking." With that, waving his hand back, a younger craftsman hurriedly handed over a strangely shaped crossbow.

Wei Feng was a little stunned, this crossbow completely subverted his perception of crossbows, the size and size were similar to ordinary crossbows, but there were two complex structures on the left and one on the right at the front end, and the end of the crossbow arm was connected to the bowstring.

Wei Feng couldn't help but ask, "Could this be a shrunken ballista?" ”

Several craftsmen didn't know what Wei Feng was thinking, they were all uneasy, or the old craftsman said boldly: "General, the divine arm bow you mentioned cannot reach an effective range of two hundred and forty paces according to common sense, but you must rely on it, therefore, we can only start from somewhere else, the ballista drawings you drew separately let everyone have some ideas, the ballista is driven by the torsion spring group to drive the bowstring on both sides, so, if the ballista is made into a hand-held crossbow, is it feasible?"

Shogun, you see, the front end of the bow is a torsion spring set made according to your proposal, using two bundles of tensioned horsehair, leather rope and animal tendons to generate torque as power, each spring group drives a crossbow arm, pull the string to fire, this is a bit odd, but you can try it. ”

Wei Feng nodded and said, "Okay, bring the arrows!" ”

Another craftsman handed over an eight-inch iron arrow, Wei Feng placed it in the arrow trough, and slowly pulled up the bowstring with only his arm strength, which made the onlookers secretly frightened, you know, the crossbow is used to open the bow by pedals, and the craftsmen are even more wide-eyed, the crossbow is made by their own hands, naturally they know it, after adding the torsion spring group, the strength has reached an astonishing seven and a half stones! With such strength, let alone hand pulling, the soldiers with slightly weaker strength can't even kick their feet!

In fact, Wei Feng is also extremely difficult to pull, his regretful intestines are green, from his estimate, the pull of the divine arm bow is calculated according to modern measurement, about two hundred and thirty kilograms, almost the limit of human physical fitness, you know, the bow is different from weightlifting, moving stones, can waist, legs, back, arms work together, open the bow purely rely on arm strength!

But there was no way, under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, he couldn't get over giving up face halfway, Wei Feng immediately screamed, and with the fierce strength of exhalation, he hung the bowstring and pulled the trigger!

"Good! General's Divine Power! "The guards and craftsmen all applauded!

Wei Feng knew that he was suffering, so he opened the Divine Arm Bow once, his two arms were sore and numb, and after taking a deep breath, he aimed at a big tree about two hundred and fifty steps away.

"Pounce!" With a soft sound, a black light flashed, and the arrow was nailed to the trunk of the tree!

One of the guards hurriedly ran over, and with great effort, pulled out the arrow, and shouted back: "General, four inches into the tree!" ”

Wei Feng nodded, handed the Divine Arm Bow to another guard, and ordered, "Come, you try!" ”

This guard didn't dare to open the string with his hand, but honestly used the pedals, and saw that as the bowstring opened inch by inch, his face gradually turned red, and when it was fully opened, it took eight breaths, that is, thirty seconds!

In fact, Wei Feng's purpose in letting the guards open the crossbow is to estimate the time it takes, and he can't accept it for thirty seconds to open the crossbow once, you know, the guards are the elite of the elite, if you change to an ordinary soldier to open it, I'm afraid it may not be able to hang up the string for a minute! (To be continued......)
