Chapter Sixty-Nine: I Can't Put It Down

"Oh! What weapons? ”

Zhao Hongde became interested and hurriedly asked.

"Crossbow."

"Crossbow?"

"What is this?"

Zhao Hongde's father and son asked in unison.

"Come out in a hurry, the bow and crossbow are not on me, when I go back, Brother Zhao can go back to the town with me to have a look."

Zhang Xiaochi replied.

Having said this, it can be regarded as completely igniting the curiosity of Zhao Hongde and the others, the war is coming, at this time, if it is mass-produced before the war comes, its combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

"Qiankun, you can go back to the town with Xiaochi now to see the power of the bow and crossbow."

"Yes."

Subsequently, Zhang Xiaochi found Lin Xiaoxi, and when Zhao Ling'er on the side learned that he was going back to the town, he also clamored to follow, and finally, the four of them returned to Qingwa Town in a carriage together.

Back at Chixi Restaurant, perhaps because the people and the restaurant have become ruins, there are obviously more urgent guests in the building than usual, Zhang Chengyi saw Zhang Xiaochi, and immediately showed a relieved expression.

"Xiaochi, you're back."

"If I don't come back, everyone can scold me to death!"

Zhang Xiaochi glanced at the store, there were indeed a lot of customers today, so he asked curiously.

"I'm not here, who's stir-frying?"

"I can only let the second aunt fry, although the second aunt's dishes are delicious, but they are not as good as you, and the speed is not as fast as yours, if it weren't for the good wine, everyone would have left a long time ago."

Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice.

Zhang Xiaochi looked embarrassed, if he didn't know the news of the imminent invasion of the Jin Kingdom, seeing that the business of the restaurant was so good, he would definitely not hesitate to go to the back kitchen to work, but now, it takes time to make a bow and crossbow, especially if you want to mass produce, it takes a lot of time.

Time is of the essence, and even a minute cannot be wasted when war begins.

"Ladies and gentlemen, because I have important matters to deal with, I may not be able to stir-fry for a while from today."

"Please forgive me for any inconvenience caused to everyone, but if you want to drink, you can still come to the restaurant to buy it."

Zhang Xiaochi cleared his throat, and then said loudly.

As soon as these words came out, the people in line were immediately dissatisfied, but because Zhao Qiankun was next to them, everyone didn't dare to attack.

"No, Xiaochi, what's your situation?"

Zhang Cheng was very puzzled, so many people's business, if they don't do it, they won't do it, you know, the restaurant's daily revenue, deducting the income from selling wine, is also two or three hundred taels, so much silver, if you don't do it, you won't do it.

"It's a long story, in short, Zhang Cheng, you and your second aunt can help me deal with the affairs of the restaurant."

Zhang Xiaochi didn't explain, gave a few orders, and then took Zhao Qiankun and them into the backyard.

"Xiaochi, I've really wronged you."

Zhao Qiankun said in a deep voice.

"There is nothing wronged or wronged, if this battle is not won, the business will not be able to be done, and I will also work hard to have a stable business environment."

Zhang Xiaochi smiled.

While talking, he took out a rag bag from the wardrobe, put the cloth bag on the table, and then slowly opened the cloth bag under the curious eyes of Zhao Qiankun's brother and sister.

"This is the crossbow?"

As he spoke, Zhao Qiankun stretched out his hand and took a large amount of the bow and crossbow in his hand, and while studying it carefully, his face was full of curiosity.

"Brother Zhang, this thing called a bow and crossbow is so delicate and small."

Zhao Ling'er grabbed another bow and crossbow and couldn't help but fumble around.

"How do you use this thing?"

"I'll teach you."

Lin Xiaoxi took the bow and crossbow from Zhao Ling'er, and drew a gourd to demonstrate the method that Zhang Xiaochi taught her.

"Do I still need to step on it to pull away?"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Qiankun frowned slightly.

"Brother Zhao, Xiaoxi and Ling'er are both girls, and they don't have the strength of our men, so they can only be assisted by their feet."

Zhang Xiaochi explained on the side.

"But isn't that too much trouble?"

"It's not troublesome at all, the bow and crossbow women can't pull it, our men can pull it with their hands, and ordinary bows and arrows are not friendly to women at all."

"Moreover, my bow and crossbow can not only be used by women, but it is much more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows, which is very suitable for assassination."

Zhang Xiaochi explained.

After speaking, he took an arrow feather made entirely of bamboo and put it on the bow and crossbow, and then drew a small circle on the door panel three meters away, and then motioned Zhao Ling'er to aim the crosshair at the circle.

"Brother Zhang, I'm on target."

"If you align it, you can pull the trigger."

Zhang Xiaochi calmly reminded.

Lin Xiaoxi had already demonstrated it just now, Zhao Ling'er put her index finger on the trigger, and then slowly pressed down with her index finger.

Sou!

The arrow feather made a rapid sound, and in the next second, it hit the bull's-eye directly.

"Haha, I shot!"

Zhao Linger jumped up and down excitedly.

On the side, Zhao Qiankun was dumbfounded, as Zhao Ling'er's brother, he naturally knows his own sister well, although he was born in a family of military generals, he has lived a life of clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth since he was a child, he does not learn martial arts, does not know how to work as a female worker, and only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long.

But now, Zhao Ling'er actually shot the bullseye with a crossbow, is this bow and crossbow really so easy to use?

"Ling'er, you shoot again."

Zhao Qiankun reminded.

This time, Zhang Xiaochi took out the arrow feathers of the iron arrow, waited until Zhao Ling'er wound it to aim, and then pulled the trigger, and the whole process was completed in one go.

Sou!

The arrow feather flew out at great speed, and in the next second, the arrow feather that hit the bull's-eye for the first time was actually split in two by the arrow feather of the iron arrow, and the iron arrow was deeply inserted into the wooden board.

"This ......"

Zhao Qiankun was completely dumbfounded, the two arrows hit the same place, this accuracy, even he couldn't do it, at this time, he began to move.

"I'll try it too."

After speaking, Zhao Qiankun followed Zhang Xiaochi's method, aimed at the circle on the door panel, and then decisively pulled the trigger.

Not surprisingly, the arrow feather once again split the previous one in two.

"Xiaochi, your bow and crossbow are too powerful!"

Zhao Qiankun was extremely excited, looking at the expression of the bow and crossbow, it was like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.

"How did you make such a delicate crossbow?"

"At that time, it was for hunting, so I made it out blindly."

It was impossible for Zhang Xiaochi to explain to him that the bow and crossbow making technique was learned before the crossing, and no one would believe it, and if someone believed it, he would not be arrested and sliced for study?

"I really envy you, you invented such a powerful weapon by foolishness!"

Zhang Xiaochi smiled dryly, and silently apologized to the old man Zhuge in his heart.

"Brother Zhao, if I contribute my bow and crossbow to the imperial court, will I have a better chance of obtaining the title?"
