After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 28 Custom Weapons
Qin Yao came back at noon.

She went to Xiahe Village to return the bow and arrow to the Yang family.

The bow was still good, even though ten of the arrows were useless, Qin Yao did as promised and gave them one tenth of the proceeds, eight taels of silver, as the rental fee for bows and arrows.

Brother Yang was stunned, he didn't expect her to give him more than eight taels in one go.

Immediately asked curiously: "Miss Qin, have you hunted down a big guy?"

Qin Yao did not shy away from them when facing them, and said directly: "Yes, I killed a black bear."

"Are you alone?" The two brothers asked in unison.

Qin Yao nodded, "Yes."

Yang Da and Yang Er couldn't imagine what it was like.

Back then, the two brothers hunted a tiger. It was actually just luck. They happened to encounter a tiger and leopard fighting. After the leopard was beaten away by the tiger, before the tiger could recover, the two brothers fought for half their lives to catch the tiger. It kills.

After that, there was no such luck.

Yang Er also left a serious psychological shadow because of this. Now if the two brothers go into the mountain alone, they will avoid large beasts, and they will save their lives a lot.

Qin Yao asked them if they could make a bow for him.

Yang Da put away his shock, and readily agreed, knowing that she was strong, and asked her what she wanted.

Qin Yao didn't ask too much, "It's just as good as your bow, and the pulling force is doubled, it should work, right?"

The pulling force of the bow has a lot to do with the material used for the bow body. If it is too soft, it will not cause damage. If it is too hard, it will break. Qin Yao's requirements may not seem high, but they are actually quite high.

Yang Da thought about the materials that can be picked around here, but he still didn't dare to make a promise, "I'll give it a try first."

Qin Yao nodded, and she didn't force it. After all, the production level is at this level, and it's so easy to get a magic arm bow.

She gave Yang Da three hundred copper coins as a deposit, and asked him to do it first, and when it was done, she asked someone to go to Liujia Village to tell her, and she would pick it up when the time came.

After coming down from Yang's house, Qin Yao went to the blacksmith's house to have the short knife trimmed, and ordered a long knife and a short dagger by the way.

Alloy materials are not easy to get here, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen is never spread. The blacksmith in Xiahe Village said that he had figured out the steel himself, and he could make a steel knife for Qin Yao, but Qin Yao did not dare to talk to someone who specializes in kitchen knives. The blacksmith had high hopes.

She must have weapons anyway. Without weapons, she can't sleep.

There are indeed no zombies, mutated animals and plants here, and there will be no people who want to eat people.

But there are bandits here, and the officers and soldiers don't go to the countryside. If something happens, the common people can only protect themselves.

Before leaving, Qin Yao suddenly remembered a small thing, a slingshot.

This thing is suitable for carrying around, and it is not conspicuous. With her strength, sometimes, its lethality is no less than that of bullets.

There is no such thing as a slingshot in Shengguo, because there are no rubber bands here.

Qin Yao drew the slingshot frame and asked the blacksmith to make it, and also asked him to help make fifty steel balls the size of glass marbles.

As for the rubber band, she had to find a substitute for it herself.

Before returning to Liujiacun, Qin Yao also went to a brick kiln to look at it and asked about the price before returning home.

After turning around this morning, there was only 25 taels of silver left in my pocket.

Counting the expenses of building houses, building walls and buying furniture, we are almost back to before liberation.

As soon as Qin Yao arrived home, the four children immediately threw down the rocks and mud in their hands and surrounded her.

"Have you changed your medicine?" Qin Yao asked as she entered the main house.

Liu Jizheng was lying on the bed feeling sad about his face. When he saw Qin Yao, his whole body became stiff unconsciously.

Da Lang said, "The medicine has already been changed."

Qin Yao nodded, and asked Liu Ji as a matter of routine: "How do you feel? Are you feeling better? Did you urinate today? What did you eat? How much water did you drink?"

Liu Ji frowned slightly, was he concerned?right?
Seeing his father stunned, Dalang answered for him, "I drank a bowl of water, half a bowl of porridge, and peed."

Liu Ji blushed, and said, "It's much better."

Qin Yao got started and spread a piece of herbal ointment, and the bruises disappeared a lot. It seems that the medicine prescribed by the doctor in the village has a good effect.

At this rate, I'll be able to start working in the fields in three or four days.

After watching Liu Ji, Qin Yao went to the kitchen to make lunch.

She wasn't very good at cooking, and she found it troublesome to cook. She simply cooked a pot of rice and made six rice balls. Children ate small ones, adults ate big ones, and she ate extra-large ones.

Liu Ji looked at the white rice balls brought in by Da Lang, and was once again shocked by the wealth of his family.

And lunch?

"How many meals do you eat a day?" Liu Ji asked tentatively.

Da Lang gnawed on his fist-sized, fragrant white rice balls, and compared three fingers.

Liu Ji was both shocked and delighted, thinking that if he could have this food every day, it wouldn't be impossible for him to coax that wicked woman a little.

Take a bite of the rice ball in your hand. Well, the soft rice is so delicious!

After lunch, Qin Yao went out again.

Bringing the needlework cotton and three bolts of cloth that I bought back, I came to the Liu family's old house.

Although the wheat has been planted, there are still a few acres of vacant vegetable land at home. Mid-to-early November is a good time to plant broad beans and peas. Mrs. Zhang is sorting vegetable seeds in the main room and plans to plant them in a few days.

Inside the house, the sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang" could be heard from the loom. He and Qiu were seizing the time to weave in the room.

The imperial court allocated a lot of land, and almost half of the villagers planted grain and half planted mulberry. Both mulberry leaves and silk were self-produced. The two sisters-in-law were very fast. Using their free time, they could weave two bolts a year and one silk cloth It can be sold for two taels of silver.

These four taels of silver were even more than the output of the men working in the fields all year round.

Therefore, in traditional men farming and women weaving families, the status of women is not low.

There are five hens in the corner of the yard. Mrs. Zhang has been raising them for more than two years. As long as they can lay eggs, they are reluctant to kill them.

The weather is fine today, the cages are opened, the hens are walking around in the yard, and the ground is full of chicken droppings.

The men were not idle either. Father and son were divided into two groups, scooping up manure in the hut behind the house, carrying loads of manure to the fields to add fat to the wheat.

Everyone has long been accustomed to such an environment and is doing the work at hand with a normal expression.

However, Qin Yao suddenly stepped in and smelled the strong smell of chicken excrement, which made her uncomfortable.

Jin Hua, who was squatting at the door playing with stones, was the first to spot Qin Yao, and raised her head and called out, "Aunt Three."

Qin Yao's hands were full, she couldn't help touching her head, and asked with a smile: "Are uncle and your mother at home?"

Jinhua nodded, not knowing what she was picking at, and pointed her dark little hand toward the west room, "Mother and uncle are weaving."

Mrs. Zhang in the main room heard the movement at the door, put down her work and got up, and saw Qin Yao walking in with cotton and cloth, and asked suspiciously:
"You belong to the third family, are you?"

Mrs. Zhang is not confident enough to think that this is used to honor herself, but that's why she feels strange.

Qin Yao called her mother first, then looked at Westinghouse, "I asked my two sister-in-laws to help me make some clothes, where is dad? I want to take advantage of the slack days to rebuild the house at home."
