"Weren't you curious about what materials I bought this morning to take home?"
Lin Feng opened the materials.
There are cow horns, cow tendons, and the like.
"These are all materials needed to make bows and arrows."
Lin Feng continued.
"The bow and arrow I used yesterday is indeed quite old. If I want to continue using it, it will probably need to be repaired."
"Besides, we're often in these mountains and we don't have hunting rifles. If we had bows and arrows, we could defend ourselves, which would be quite good!"
"Many bows and arrows on the market are just for decoration. We need to design our own bows and arrows to achieve a more ingenious effect!"
[What? The streamer isn't a forest ranger? He can even make bows and arrows? That's too unbelievable!]
The techniques for making traditional bows and arrows aren't something everyone possesses.
[So, the streamer took a liking to someone's bow and arrow yesterday, and decided to make one today!]
With his craftsmanship skills, Lin Feng had no fear of not being able to make a practical bow and arrow.
"So we're going to use these materials to try making one ourselves!"
Lin Feng not only wanted to make his own bow and arrow, but also wanted to practice frequently, so that he might be able to use it when he actually faced poachers.
When it comes to fighting an enemy bare-handed, having a weapon in hand gives you more confidence!
I'm really impressed by the old-fashioned bows and arrows made by those master craftsmen! They design bows and arrows to their own specifications—I'm so envious! Can I commission a bow and arrow from a streamer sometime? My family loves them, and price isn't an issue!
[I remember the last time the streamer made a bed, the dean bought it and put it on display! I'm really looking forward to seeing the streamer make a legendary bow this time! It'll definitely be amazing!]
Now that you mention it, I do vaguely remember it. I even went to that exhibition later, and it was absolutely exquisite! It was incredibly beautiful! After that, the number of students in that department skyrocketed, and the dean started having headaches again, hahaha!
A netizen who had previously purchased Linfeng Monkey Wine commented.
[Host, I still have an old-fashioned bow and arrow at home, supposedly worth over ten thousand yuan. If you need it, I can send it to you anytime. Your monkey wine is really good; I've already received it and given it to my grandfather. He immediately gave me three hundred thousand yuan in pocket money! Hehe!]
Wow, this netizen made 100,000 yuan just by going in and out of the market.
This has made other netizens extremely envious.
[Besides, this bow is from my grandpa's collection. It's just hanging there all day and doesn't really serve any purpose, so I'll steal it for you, hehe!!]
Now that netizen watches Lin Feng's live stream for a while every day to see if there's anything he can snag.
I'm so happy!
Seeing that Lin Feng wanted to make a bow and arrow, he casually remarked.
Give him a bow and arrows.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng simply smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, young friend. I will be able to make this bow and arrow soon!"
"As for stealing your grandfather's collection of bows and arrows for my sake, that's really inappropriate. We don't need to do that! Haha!"
In just about half an hour, Lin Feng had prepared all the materials needed to make the bow and arrow.
Put these materials in the yard.
The tiger cubs were sunbathing in the yard that afternoon.
Bai Lu leisurely sipped tea under the pavilion, teasing Little Milk Bean and his tiger cubs.
Little Milk Bean was lying right there on the dining table, snoring away.
They were incredibly relaxed and content.
Lin Feng happened to have some free time to forge bows and arrows.
He gently rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms.
The design of a bow and arrow needs to be tailored to one's own habits, which is why Lin Feng didn't just buy one.
While there are some bows and arrows on the market that are suitable for beginners, true experts personally handle everything from the invention of the bow and arrow to its use.
A bow and arrow made by hand is just as effective as a gun, and in some cases, it can even outperform a hunting rifle.
Lin Feng drew a blueprint for a bow and arrow.
Making a bow and arrow for the first time was a completely new challenge for him.
[Hey streamer, could you explain this to us? We know absolutely nothing about bows and arrows!]
"Okay, I'll explain it to you as I do it!"
"The first step is to split the bamboo core."
Remove the uneven parts from both ends of the bamboo.
“Leave a section that is about 128 centimeters long and 3 centimeters wide.”
Cutting bamboo frames requires careful control of force; if you cut it in one go, the entire bow will be ruined.
Polish and smooth the bamboo core.
"The second part is to boil down animal hides to make fish glue."
"In the past, shark skin was sometimes used to make it, but nobody uses that anymore. It's all made from animal hides."
As Lin Feng explained, his hands never stopped moving. He directly turned the fish maw he bought into swim bladder glue, and soon a small pot was filled with sticky swim bladder glue.
"Fish glue is especially important in the making of a bow and arrow. It can easily glue any important part together."
Next is the ox horn, which is used to increase the elasticity of the bow and arrow.
Cut the ox horn evenly, polish it, and then apply fish glue evenly.
Tying the ox horns is also a strenuous task. If it's not done perfectly and the horns aren't tied tightly enough, the bow might crack when pulled.
Time passed second by second.
As the production process progressed, several hours passed.
Lin Feng offered fewer and fewer explanations, focusing instead on the production process.
It was as if the outside world had nothing to do with him.
I was completely immersed in the production process.
A few hours later.
