In the words of Mr. Hua, a chopstick can be easily broken, but if a bunch of chopsticks are bunched up, it will be very difficult to break them easily.

The same principle applies to condensing multiple filaments of beef tendon into one.

Hua Jin looked at her grandfather and father with admiration. The method that there was no internet search in the space was something Hua Jin recalled reading and getting inspiration from books, but Hua Jin really didn’t know what would happen next.

Sure enough, the wisdom of the working people cannot be underestimated. Grandpa and dad, who have accumulated so much experience, figured out what to do next.

Condensing so many beef tendon threads into one thread is difficult to say but difficult to do. Anyway, Hua Jin tried a few times but it didn't work. The beef tendon threads seemed to have their own consciousness and they always didn't follow her ideas.

Everyone turns to their own.

The same thing was done by the fourth brother. Even the one made by the second brother was not up to standard. Although it was barely twisted into a thread, it was so loose that it didn't work at first glance.

It seems simple, but it is not as simple as imagined. It requires skill to condense several or even dozens of beef tendons into one piece. After trying this kind of delicate work several times, it really didn't work except that I was in a hurry and had a headache.

.

Later, I gave up. There were only so many beef tendon threads. Since I couldn't help, it was better not to help. Didn't you see the distressed look on the face of daddy who hesitated to speak? For the sake of daddy's heart, Hua Jin decisively stopped. From a participant to

One looked on.

Alas! It seems that she has a happy life.

The second brother and the younger brother stared at similar big eyes, petted the puppy, and watched the grandparents, parents, and the eldest brother busy.

This process was also time-consuming and laborious, taking more than an hour, and the night became darker and darker into the night.

Xiao Si, whose eyes were narrowed to a slit, had already been carried back to the room by Brother Hua to rest. Brother Hua was actually urged to go back to rest, but he refused everyone's urging with practical actions and still rubbed the tendons.

The children in my family know their personalities well. They really don’t want to go back to Hua Laohan and they don’t force them. The children also want to reduce their stress. They can’t refuse too much when they are old people. It’s just a matter of going to bed a little later. Young people are energetic and have little impact.

.

Moreover, during the busy farming season, there is no day when I am not so busy that I go to bed at midnight and then get up early in the morning.

Hua Jin was actually sleepy, but she just wanted to accompany her parents. She couldn't do much to help them, but she could still do it with simple companionship.

The eldest brother can persevere even if he wants to get up early, but she can persevere even more if she can sleep enough.

Late at night, when he saw the strips of beef tendon spread on the table, the old man was so happy that he quickly urged his eldest grandson to rest, and then his granddaughter.

Even Hua Chengtian went back to rest with his wife under the eyes of his two elders, even though he couldn't wait to see the results.

As expected, Hua Jin slept for a long time the next day. When she woke up, the sun was shining brightly and the yard was filled with sunlight.

With something on his mind, Hua Chengtian got up on time in the early morning. The first thing he did after getting up was not to clean the yard as before, but to light the oil lamp and take the crossbow parts from the wooden box under the shed into the main room one by one, preparing to deliver them to the main room.

Assemble one before the child goes to school.

When he put all the things on the table, the old man Hua who heard the commotion was already sitting at the table waiting, and even his three sons quickly washed themselves and gathered around the table with eager faces.

"Dad, hurry up," Xiao Si, who was attracted by the things on the table with Hei Da in his arms, couldn't help but urge.

Looking at so many beef tendons on the table, he secretly wondered if his father could give him one after making it. It would also be okay to give him a tendon, so that sometimes he could try to make a slingshot by himself.

Of course, a crossbow would be even better. He has been coveting it for a long time. Unfortunately, the father in the room wants to see the treasure and cannot touch it except during practice.

The middle pile on the table is full of beef tendons. I made nearly a hundred beef tendon strips in more than two hours last night. Not only Xiaosi wanted to make so many, but also Hua Er Ge was very excited.

Hua Chengtian didn't even look at his younger son. At this moment, all his attention was on the beef tendon.

The length of each tendon is different, some are long and some are short. Even the short ones are much longer than the crossbow that Jin'er took out. Hua Chengtian and Old Man Hua are thinking about the crossbow they have polished.

The specific size of beef tendon required for the parts is also minimized to reduce waste. After all, this thing is so rare. I don’t know if I can buy it next time.

The father and son discussed for a long time just to determine the length of the tendon, and finally decided to assemble the crossbow directly. They had already manufactured these parts. During this period, in order to have a deeper understanding of the structure of the crossbow, they held the child with the consent of their daughter.

The tools taken out from the blessed land space also disassembled the crossbow.

In order to prevent mistakes, each part will be marked and the order of removal will be marked. When putting it back, reinstall it in reverse order. This is the safest way and you will not worry about not being able to put it back.

After disassembling it several times in this way, I have already understood the internal structure of the crossbow. Even the iron and copper parts on the crossbow were stamped out and found a way to build it at the blacksmith shop in the town.

It was just an unknown blacksmith in the parts shop and he didn't ask much. However, because some parts are too detailed and require more effort, the price is naturally higher.

Fortunately, the Hua family had no shortage of money, and it had been a long time since the father and son had been so passionate about something. They made the deposit without hesitation, and bought a lot of parts at once, thinking that they could be replaced at any time if they were worn out in the future.

The main thing is that it takes a lot of effort because the master has never built it before, and one or two are afraid that the master will not take over the job. Also, once it is done, make more to avoid trouble later.

Not only that, but also smaller and more delicate parts were created. If successful, Hua Chengtian would like to create a smaller and more portable one for his daughter, so that she can use it for self-defense.

The two of us were still very excited when we were actually assembling it.

They had assembled it many times before, and except for the missing beef tendon, the other functions seemed to be fine. The two of them still had great confidence and felt that it would definitely work.

Under the expectant eyes of his three sons, the old man Hua Chengtian each assembled one. Hua Chengtian likes to study when he has nothing to do, and because he is young and has strong hands-on skills, he can assemble it much faster than his father.

While constantly adjusting the length and elasticity of the beef tendons, Old Man Hua completed assembling the frame. Brother Hua helped his grandfather, while the second brother and the fourth brother stared intently at the almost finished crossbow that was being adjusted in their father's hands.

"call……"

He breathed a long sigh of relief. After countless attempts, Hua Chengtian finally felt the force of the tendons of the crossbow being pulled when shooting.

Hua Chengtian knew he had succeeded when he felt the familiar feeling.

Finally, his time and energy were not wasted, and he spent a lot of money to build parts and arrowheads.

It just took a little trouble to make the arrowheads. Arrowheads are weapons. Although the ancient Yan Kingdom did not have such strict control over weapon arrows, as a craftsman, you must be cautious out of your responsibility to others.
