Liu Feng looked at the slightly curled civet cat fur that had been dried, took it over the fire to remove the outer hair, and then put it in water.
Then start cutting it slowly into thin strips.
Then, group the strips into groups of three and twist them together.
Liu Feng had a clear goal, which was to make a bow.
Although there is enough civet cat skin, its toughness is still lacking, so Liu Feng plans to make a bow with moderate strength first.
When we have suitable animal fascia in the future, we can make stronger bows.
Or make a crossbow with even greater damage.
With the right tools, hunting will be much easier.
Whatever tigers and lions you want, you can catch them easily.
The most practical animal is deer. Its meat is delicious and its tendons are the ideal material for making various tools.
It is already autumn, and hunting is the best way to accumulate original capital, so we must work overtime.
Making the bowstring was not difficult, and it was basically completed after more than an hour.
Mu Wanqing also got up. She had been quite frightened today. Women are naturally weak, so it was natural for her to get more rest. He did not disturb her.
Liu Feng was originally preparing to talk to the two sisters, but there was a banging sound in the yard. Liu Feng picked up an axe and went outside.
I was stunned when I saw it.
On the slope outside the yard, three skinny men were standing outside waiting, each carrying a piece of wood.
What is going on?
Is there really anyone going there?
Liu Feng hurriedly opened the dilapidated courtyard gate.
He walked towards the three men in surprise.
"Are you here to exchange for food?"
The leader, Tian Laoba, walked up to Liu Feng, put down the wood, and smiled foolishly.
"My wife said that Brother Liu is willing to trade grain for wood, so I'll give it a try."
"These are all top-quality fir wood, the best material for building a house."
There were two other men from the village, one named Wang San and the other Yang Guaizi.
They are all honest farmers.
"OK……."
"Qing'er, Qing'er, bring me a few bowls of mixed grain rice."
Liu Feng shouted at the two women in the room.
These three men are all simple-minded. They were very honest people in the village. They only knew how to find ways to support their families and had no ulterior motives.
People like this are generally loyal, so Liu Feng was not stingy and gave each of them two bowls of rice. He also said, "If you have any wood, just bring it to me."
Tian Laoba smiled innocently: "I only have one bowl, I don't need so much."
If it were someone else, they would have wanted to give more, but this big, honest guy was so simple.
This made Liu Feng feel that he was a talented person with great potential.
If he is trained well, he will definitely be a figure like Xu Chu and Dian Wei.
Liu Feng smiled and said, "This is what you deserve. You're welcome. Take it."
Liu Feng then asked, "You often go up the mountain, have you found any good mulberry trees there?"
"If you have any, bring me a few and I'll give you rice."
"Brother Liu, I'll just bring you a few. You don't need any food."
"One bite is enough for us."
Tian Lao Ba is a straightforward person, and the other two people nodded repeatedly.
This is a simple and honest person, and this kind of person is the most reliable.
"Don't feel any burden. Just go ahead and do it. From now on, the food will be provided at this standard."
"As long as you work hard for me, I will make sure you don't go hungry."
The three honest farmers were speechless for a moment. They didn't dare to accept such great wealth.
In the end, it was Liu Feng who persuaded the three people with kind words and used both soft and hard tactics to send them away.
Liu Feng decided to exchange grain for wood when he saw the women in the village talking about it. He didn't expect that someone would actually do it.
According to the current measurement system of the Dali Dynasty, one dou of rice is ten jin, which can be exchanged for five trees. This deal is a sure win no matter how you calculate it.
This kind of high-quality fir wood is not cheap in the county town. Although it cannot be exchanged for a bushel of rice, it is not much different.
However, in such a famine-stricken and chaotic time, it was barely possible to fill one's stomach by carrying the food to the village, but carrying it to the county town to sell it for money was simply a pipe dream, and one would inevitably die of exhaustion on the way.
Therefore, it was the best option for these three men to cut down trees for Liu Feng in exchange for food.
Liu Feng looked at the three fir trees thoughtfully.
Only then did I realize that in the end, the capital was actually myself.
As for the extra bit given at the end and other promises, they were simply a way to win people's hearts.
After all, there are many things he can't do alone in the future.
But then I thought, I am implementing the ideas of a great man in another world.
The rich will help the poor to become rich first, and lead the whole village to live a good life. When they become well-off, I guess even the governor of Youzhou will come to learn from his experience.
When I thought about it this way, my thoughts suddenly became clear. This is also a way to make money.
Why focus on hunting?
It turns out that the current poverty limits his imagination.
Liu Feng placed the three pieces of wood and started planning his yard.
It’s called a yard, but it’s just a thatched hut.
The original owner of this body was too lazy and didn't even repair the thatched hut, so it was in tatters everywhere.
Winter was approaching, and with his temper and tattered clothes, the best he could do was to avoid freezing to death.
Liu Feng plans to build his own house according to his memories of his previous life.
Build three houses with civil structures, which will keep you warm in winter and cool in summer.
It can be carried in the living room, bedroom and kitchen.
At that time, I will build a super big old earthen kang in the bedroom, which will be as warm as it can be.
