005 Crafting a bow and crossbow
In fact, the bamboo civet meat is still braised and delicious, but unfortunately there is only a ceramic pot in this house, there is no way to fry the vegetables, and the seasoning is far behind, and there are more things to make up.
Lin An could only think of another way.
She quickly processed a few bamboo rats, chopped the meat, stirred it with salt and wild vegetables and green onions, took the only remaining flour in the house, and began to make dumplings.
Dumplings were the best thing to spend in the previous life, but they don't usually eat much here. Fei stuffing and flour are not easy to preserve, and the small buns were only eaten once a year during the Chinese New Year.
However, I still patiently learned how to wrap it in a good way, and it took a lot of effort to finally wrap dozens of them, and almost used up all the flour in the house.
"Why are we doing so much?" Two people simply can't eat so much.
"Give it away." Lin An was very simple, put half of it in the pot to cook, explained that the little bun was optimistic, took the other half and went out, and walked towards the carpenter Uncle Zhang not far away.
This is what she thought about on the way back, since she wants to catch rabbits, tools are absolutely indispensable, but there is only that scimitar at home, and it is rusty when she chops wood today, and it is really not easy to use if she wants to do what she wants to do.
Lin An went early, and the third uncle's house had just started a fire and hadn't started cooking yet, seeing that it was Lin An coming, the family of three was a little surprised.
The house at the end of the village never interacts with people on weekdays, let alone coming to the door, and even says hello less, who knows that it will come today. But they were all from the same village, and the third uncle still welcomed her in.
Lin An looked at the wood chips and semi-finished products scattered on the ground in the yard of the third uncle, the third uncle was a well-known carpenter in the village, and any family would look for him if he wanted to make anything or furniture, so he relied on this to make a living.
"Yo, it's Mrs. Lin, why are you free to come to the door today?"
"Is the third uncle busy?" Lin An entered the courtyard and was polite first.
"No, I'm making a kang table for your third aunt, your third aunt is either too tall or short every day, this is already the third kang table, just look at my husband's family is a carpenter, and I have enough use."
The third uncle laughed and scolded in his mouth, but he could hear that he loved his daughter-in-law very much.
"That's the third uncle who loves the aunt, why, hasn't you eaten yet?"
"No, your third aunt is busy, and Xiao Wu's guy hasn't come back yet." Zhang Wu is the only son of the third uncle and third aunt, and the only hunter in the village, and occasionally goes up to the mountains to hunt to supplement the family, and most of the hunting tools he uses are made by his own father.
"That's right, I brought some dumplings here to add a dish to the third uncle's house in the evening."
Lin An handed over the dumplings in his hand, but the third uncle was a little hesitant. "Mrs. Lin is too polite, these dumplings are so rare, you send so many at this time, how can I be embarrassed to accept it, you keep it for that kid to eat, he is a long body."
"Third uncle, don't be polite, there are still some cooking at home, enough to eat, and I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I want to ask you for help."
"Is it going to be something? Mrs. Lin said that it was. Third Uncle Zhang still didn't take the dumplings, he had already expected that there was something, so he naturally didn't dare to accept the gift first, so as not to discuss.
"It's not a big deal, I really want to make something, but I don't dare to bother the third uncle, I just saw a table leg or something, I want to borrow your tools and use them, and I will return them tomorrow."
"It's as simple as that?"
"Not really." Lin An laughed, and the dumplings were stuffed into the third uncle's hand, "I should have taken some hard money, but the third uncle also knows the situation in my family, so I can only send these dumplings, if the third uncle doesn't take it again, I don't dare to ask you for help again." ”
"Don't say that." Third Uncle Zhang looked at the expression on Lin An's face, very sincere, and no longer hesitated, took the dumplings and found a few handy tools and handed them to Lin An, "Lin Niangzi don't worry, I haven't worked for the past two days, it's not too late to send it over when you're busy." ”
"Then thank you Third Uncle."
Lin An smiled and narrowed her eyes, she didn't expect things to go smoothly, the people in the same village who were not related by blood took care of her more than those in the Su family, thanked her, and turned around after the two steps she had just withdrawn, "By the way, Uncle San, if the height of the kang table is always unsatisfactory, why not try to make a groove in the table legs, connect two wooden boards together and move up and down with the groove, and then cut out the groove to fix it." Isn't that okay with the adjustments? ”
"Groove?"
The third uncle was still thinking carefully about Lin An's words, and Lin An had already lowered his body and left.
When she left the Zhang family, the third aunt who was busy inside also walked out, "Is Mrs. Lin here?" ”
"yes." The third uncle handed over the dumplings to her, "This kid borrowed my tools to saw a table leg and gave so many dumplings, it's too polite." ”
"Really." The third aunt came to the front and sniffed it, "It's still meat filling, you said that the difference between the Su family is really big, Aunt Luo came to make something, and when she went back to the eggs, she couldn't wait to pick the bones and strip off the chicken feathers, this Lin Niangzi is very generous." ”
"Generous and ungenerous, it's good to be able to support yourself, don't pity that little guy." The third uncle sighed, "But don't say it, I saw her in the morning, and her spirit is much better, it seems that I really want to open it." ”
"If you want to open well, the catastrophe has passed for so long, it's time to live well." The third aunt was still sighing, but she looked at the third uncle on the side and patted her head and returned to the pile of wood, muttering to herself, "Groove ......"
……
Lin An took the tools given to her by the third uncle and went home, the dumplings were almost cooked, and the little buns ate more than ten in one go, and their stomachs were a lot rounder.
Baozi went to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Lin An took tools and wood and bamboo to the yard to work.
She's going to make a crossbow out.
The current body is much worse than the peak state of the previous life, and if the quality is not enough, you have to rely on weapons to make up, and it is very useful to make a crossbow to go up the mountain to catch rabbits, even if it is self-defense.
In the previous life, when they were on agent missions, they used a lot of guns, but many times when they fell into the rainforest or when there was a lack of resources for long-term missions, they would also use the things at hand to make some cold weapons, and naturally these jobs were very easy for Lin An.
With tools, it is even simpler, Lin An has been in the yard for a while, then he sawed the wood with a saw, sharpened the bamboo pieces and punched holes with copper cones, and soon made a simple crossbow out, and made many sharp wooden arrows, and tried it twice, the workmanship is a little rough and not powerful enough, but it is enough to deal with hares and the like.
For the rest of the materials, she made a small slingshot for Xiao Baozi, which is difficult to defend himself, but he played with two more exercises to practice the accuracy of his eyes, which will also help him learn martial arts or something in the future.
In fact, if you really decide to go up to the mountains to hunt all the time, you will have a lot of things to prepare. But in the current situation, it is already good to be able to prepare a crossbow.
