Time is in the middle of February, when the yang energy is gradually coming into being, and everything is recovering.

Since the feast in Fuwangli spread, on the second day, someone asked to come to Wu Yong to make a banquet for them. Originally, Wu Yong didn't plan to do this again, it was too tiring, and he didn't want to spend his time on this boring thing.

It was Zhu Lidian who came over in person to persuade: "I know that you are ambitious, and you will not take this matter seriously." But you can teach some of our people to do this, so that everyone can have more extra income. ”

At this time, Zhu Wang sent him thank you money, and hoped to follow Wu Yongxue to make a banquet.

Wu Yong instinctively refused the money, "Even if you come to study, I can't ask for this money, you better take it back." ”

At this time, Zhu Lidian, who was standing aside, opened his mouth to stop: "You better take it!" The ancients said: The scriptures are not lightly transmitted, the art is not cheaply sold, the teacher is not on the way, and the doctor does not buckle the door. The rain is heavy, and the grass without roots is not moistened; The Tao is wide, and it is not a person who has no fate. ”

"Some time ago, you passed down all kinds of practices of eating too much, and I already felt that it was inappropriate. But because everyone didn't have any extra money at that time, and these skills were related to the lives of the people of the world, they didn't stop you from teaching them. ”

"But the practice of today's banquet is different, after Zhu Wang and they learn it, they want to earn money with this craft, if you don't collect money, you teach others skills, you will inevitably be despised by others."

After hearing this, Wu Yong thought about it seriously and had no choice but to accept the thousand money sent by Zhu Wang.

In this way, after the news that Zhu Wang paid 1,000 yuan to learn the banquet with Wu Yong spread, four more teenagers suddenly came over and wanted to learn the method of the banquet.

In the next few days, Wu Yong took them to undertake various banquets, teaching them to cook and practice their hands, while earning some extra money.

Of course, those who can invite Wu Yong to make a banquet are all wealthy families, what they care about is face, and the banquet made by Wu Yong and his party is full of praise from those who have eaten, so every time Wu Yong is given a lot of appearances.

Wu Yong was not stingy, and gave fifty yuan to each of the five people every day as a reward for their hard work.

At first, the five of them refused to ask for it, but Wu Yong, as a modern person, would squeeze their hard-earned money, and said with a cold face: "If you don't want it, I won't take you tomorrow." ”

The five of them happily took it at this time, and they became more and more respectful to Wu Yong.

The villagers love to gossip, and whoever has a little wind and grass will spread very quickly. In just a few days, the five of them have earned so much money, which can make the envious saliva of the others in Fuwang drool.

Therefore, many villagers came to the door and were willing to pay for a banquet with Wu Yongxue.

Wu Yong also does not refuse to come, and even if he has family difficulties, Wu Yong will take the initiative to ask them to give them a thank you gift on credit, and then give him the money he earns later.

This made everyone very convinced of him, originally they were all older than Wu Yong, some of them were married like Zhu Wang, and even some of the children were a few years old.

This makes them a little embarrassed, but this will see that Wu Yong's behavior is more open-minded than his elders, and he suddenly loses his mustard in his heart, and he automatically respects Wu Yong as a teacher.

In the next few days, Wu Yong took this group of teenagers to start various banquets, and he originally planned to take advantage of everyone's enthusiasm to take them all out of the division, but he didn't expect to receive a notice from Zhu Lidian yesterday.

"From tomorrow onwards, you all have to get up early to take part in the riding and archery training in Richu. As for the feast, you divide them in turn, and five people a day will do the feast, and the rest will stay in it to train. ”

Saying that, Zhu Lidian said to Wu Yong seriously: "Especially you, you have to train more every day!" You're so famous now, you can't even ride a horse, wouldn't it be a joke to say it! ”

Since beating Wu Yong and vowing to help the homeless, the villagers have long stopped treating him as a child. Now that he is becoming more and more famous, Zhu Lidian's requirements for him are becoming more and more strict.

Wu Yong was really a little confused at the time, and he didn't have any knowledge about riding and archery in his original memory.

Fortunately, Zhu Lidian knew his situation and explained to him in time.

It turns out that this February's Shunyang riding and shooting is an unwritten tradition, and as for when it originated, Zhu Lidian is not clear. The purpose of mounted archery is to guide and educate young people to strive for self-improvement.

At this time, it was not as safe as in later generations, not only were all kinds of fierce beasts rampant in the mountains and forests, but also all kinds of bandits attacked the township. The worst thing is that every adult man has to have a year of cantonment.

In recent years, the Qiang people have continued to invade the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty, resulting in heavy casualties among those who went to the Battle of Tunshu. Therefore, people nowadays pay more attention to mounted archery training, after all, it will be a life-saving skill in the future.

So after listening to this, Wu Yong had to bow his head to reality, and vowed to practice his riding skills well, and he couldn't say that he would be able to run faster than others in the future.

On the second day, it was a beautiful day, and it was a sunny day, and the wind and the sun were warm, which was just right for practicing riding and archery.

When Wu Yong arrived at the square, there were already many people practicing with bows, arrows, and spears.

Seeing Wu Yong coming, Zhu Lidian beckoned him to the front, and said to him with a smile: "We don't have many horses here, I specially left one for you today, you can practice riding horses today." ”

Wu Yong knew that what he said was the truth, and at this time, horse was a strategic material, and being able to have a horse was a symbol of status. There are no more than five horses in the entire Fuwang, among which Zhuo Wenxuan and Zhu Lidian's family have them.

The horse in Zhu Lidian's hand is already an old horse, with a docile temper, which is suitable for a novice like Wu Yong to practice.

After going around the old horse, Wu Yong was surprised to find that not only did the horse have a saddle on its back, but there was also a stirrup on each side of the horse's abdomen. It's just that it's all made of rattan and wrapped in a layer of leather.

Wu Yong didn't expect that there were already saddles and stirrups at this time, and couldn't help but ask Zhu Lidian with some curiosity: "Uncle, why are these saddles and stirrups made of rattan?" Why not use iron ones? ”

Zhu Lidian glared at him, and said angrily: "It's not enough to make weapons, where can there be so much iron to make saddles and stirrups!" Do you know how many horses there are today? If they were all saddles and stirrups made of iron, how many pounds of iron would be needed! The imperial court was not without this plan back then, but it was really unable to keep up with production. ”

Saying that, Zhu Lidian glanced at Wu Yong again, sighed and said: "You have made this iron pot to stir-fry again, the iron tools that were not enough are now even more difficult to find, and it is estimated that the price of this iron will rise again soon!" ”

Wu Yong opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything. It was only then that he realized the importance of knowledge, and that the iron production at this time was so small that he could not even satisfy the daily production and life of the people.

At this time, Zhu Lidian smiled self-deprecatingly again, and said: "You are much better now, when I was young, when I rode a horse, I didn't have these things made of rattan, at that time, they were all ropes and cloth strips made of a circle, and if you step on it, if you are not careful, it is easy to be dangerous." ”

After Zhu Lidian finished sighing, Wu Yong got on the horse with his help, and tried to walk a few steps before he felt a little relieved.

Zhu Lidian led the horse on the side and kept reminding Wu Yong of the essentials of horseback riding: "Don't tighten the reins so tightly, use the forefoot to tighten the stirrup, and keep your body relaxed." ”

In this way, Wu Yong rode around the square on horseback, only to find that Zhu Wang and Wu Pu also rode horses behind him at some point.

Wu Yong said hello to them, and the three of them talked and laughed like this, and slowly adapted to riding horses.

After two more turns, the eldest Wu Pu was the first to adapt, and he said to Wu Yong with some eagerness: "Wu Yong, let's run, do you dare?" ”

Wu Yonggang learned to ride a horse, but he didn't dare to do it, this horse was much less safe than the car in later generations, and he got a driver's license in later generations, but he didn't dare to drive. Now his small body can't stand the toss, so he refuses: "I don't run!" You have to run on your own! ”

Wu Pu pursed his lips, but he didn't dare to stimulate Wu Yong anymore, so he could only say to Zhu Wang: "Zhu Wang, how are you?" Let's try trotting for a while? ”

Zhu Wang was a little moved, he glanced at Wu Yong, and saw that he had no objection, so he replied: "Okay, then let's get familiar with the fast step first." ”

"Drive!" They both shouted at the same time, and their legs lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the reins were slightly loosened, urging the horse to trot.

Wu Yong hurriedly urged the horses to stay away from them, but in his heart he was a little envious of their flying posture of galloping on horseback.

In fact, how did he know that Zhu Wang really had a hard time at this time!

It's really not as steady when you are trotting as you are when you are running. The frequency of bumps in the horse during the trot is high, and it is difficult for novices to master and adapt to the rhythm of ups and downs.

At this time, Zhu Wang is dedicated to several purposes, not only to control the reins, but also to step on the stirrups, and to achieve the unity of people and horses, it is really difficult for him! His ass was like sitting on a spring, up and down, left and right.

The flesh on the butt is thick, and it's okay to hit it a few times, but the problem is that the balls can't stand it, and it hurts to squeeze it a few times, so that he grins his teeth.

He was so panicked that he couldn't stop shouting: "Stop, stop!" ”

But as soon as the horse started running, it couldn't stop.

Wu Pu rode very steadily, his butt was like sticking to the saddle, and when he passed in front of Wu Yong, his face couldn't hide his pride: "Wu Yong, I'm okay riding, right?" ”

"Well, it's not bad!" Wu Yong didn't want to deal with him.

Wu Pu was about to say something, but at this time he heard Zhu Wang's cry for help in the distance, "Whoever will save me, let the horse stop!" ”

When the two didn't know what to do, Zhu Lidian asked Wu Yong to dismount, and he quickly rode on his old horse, rushed to Zhu Wang's side, signaled Zhu Wang to hold on to the rope, and followed his rhythm to slow down.

When Zhu Wang got off the horse, Zhu Lidian reprimanded: "You are all a wife person, why are you still so unstable, go to ride a horse with Wu Pubi, he has a horse at home, you can often ride and play, you dare to compare with him the first time you ride a horse, who gave you the courage!" ”

Zhu Wang's face flushed, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

At this time, Wu Yong and Wu Pu happened to come over, and when they heard this, Wu Pu smiled at Wu Yong: "How did I know that he would be so unbearable!" ”

Wu Yong saw that Zhu Wang's face was still a little pale, and he couldn't help but ask with some worry: "Zhu Wang, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Zhu Wang hurriedly waved his hand, revealing an embarrassed smile: "I just accidentally touched the ball!" ”

"Hahaha......" Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

Some people even joked: "Zhu Wang, you just got married and rode a horse to grind the bad guys, be careful to go back to your new lady to clean you up." ”

Everyone laughed even more heartily, which made Zhu Wang blush.
