Kiln firing is both technical and physical work.

Because the opening of the kiln often takes a day or two, or even ten days or even a month.

Fortunately, this time Mu Feng was just trying out, and only made a dozen or so pieces. The big ones were only the size of a washbasin, and the small ones were only the size of a rice bowl.

According to his estimate, it will take about three days.

But he basically had to stay here for the past three days to prevent accidents.

After all, he is the only one in the clan who can make pottery.

But as long as the first pottery making was successful, they could hand over them to Lihu and Baiya in the future.

Because Mu Feng could not leave easily, Mingguang chose the bow and arrow practice of the hunting team near Mu Feng.

This is convenient for Mu Feng to guide them to practice arrows while guarding the cave.

Not only that, in order to abide by his promise, Mu Feng also brought the bow-making guys to him and made three bows for Hanshu and the others.

The cave is a charcoal fire that lasts for a long time, so you only need to look at it once or twice.

To practice arrows, you only need Mu Feng to move his lips to guide him.

So the real effort is still to make bows.

Originally, Mu Feng had already explained to Lihu and Mingguang how to make the three-piece bow, but unfortunately, no matter how he explained it, they did not understand how to fit the three bamboo pieces together.

No choice, Mu Feng had to do it himself.

The three-piece bow is different from the simple two-piece bow, one thick and the other thin. The requirements are two long and one short, of which "two long" is one hard and one soft.

The so-called two lengths means that there are two bamboo pieces of the same length, and one short piece is the bamboo piece that is placed between the two lengths to make an interlayer.

As for the "one hard and the other soft" in the two lengths, the bamboo pieces that need to be placed on the inner layer are relatively thick. When baking the bamboo pieces, only the ends are softened, and the middle part is normal.

The outermost layer of bamboo is relatively thinner and softer as a whole, so that it can be bent to fit the inner bamboo with a short interlayer in the middle.

These requirements are more complicated for Mu Feng to say, and there are more points to pay attention to. It is no wonder that Lihu and Mingguang are confused when they listen to them.

This is still under the circumstances of Mu Feng's face to face, leaving others, such as Chang Ning, without hearing about these details, want to make a double-piece work or even a three-piece bow, I am afraid it is a fantasy.

The thickness of one hard and one soft bamboo piece is relatively uniform, but the short bamboo piece in the middle requires a very narrow and long arc to the outside, which requires extremely high craftsmanship and accuracy of the wood style.

Just this one piece of bamboo wastes six bamboo pieces of Mufeng, which is still under the premise of having a ruler and a plane.

Without these, I'm afraid even Mu Feng can't do it.

Fortunately, the effort was not in vain. The three pieces of bamboo had already been baked, and they were placed on the side to shape. Then he sat on the side, and the old god was watching the clansman practicing arrows.

At the moment, there are only forty people in the hunting party, and another ten people have been sent out by Mingguang to hunt.

Because they have mastered the fishing skills, there are sheep traps not far from the tribe, and now the hunting team only needs to send a few people out to guard them every day.

In the middle, under the instruction of Mu Feng, Mingguang led people to another place.

While digging a trap, a lot of wild sheep were caught.

Now the daily food of the tribe includes sheep and fish, and occasionally boiled eggs, pigs, chickens and other foods are added.

Coupled with bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse, mushrooms, cress and other vegetables, the food of the tribe is already quite rich.

Except for the wild boars, which are slaughtered one less, other sheep and chickens are growing in twos and threes every day, in addition to feeding the clansmen.

This is also the reason why Mu Feng can start training the archers with confidence.

The stomach is full and there is still food left. Of course, I have to strengthen myself!

At present, the forty people are divided into four groups, each group of people is standing side by side with bows and arrows, and a simple bullseye is erected on a simple round wooden stake 30 meters away from them.

This is also what Mu Feng did overnight with Mingguang and Lihu, and it just came in handy right now.

A dozen or so people stood in a row. Following Mingguang's order to "release arrows", the sound of "swish swish" could be heard incessantly, and the voices were obviously fast and slow.

As for the arrows that hit the target two or three times out of ten, let alone the ones that hit the bullseye.

After one shot, Mingguang looked at Mu Feng: "Great Chief, how do you think they shot?"

Everyone was subconsciously nervous.

Mu Feng chuckled and shook his head: "It's the first time you all come into contact with bows and arrows. It's normal for you to be inaccurate. This has a lot to do with your inexperience!"

"But remember the essentials of archery that I taught you yesterday, hold the bow in your left hand, put your left side in front, hold a bow in your right hand, put your right shoulder in front, and keep the distance between your feet wide. You need eyes, arrows, and bullseye to be in line!"

With that said, Mu Feng picked up a bow and set out a demonstration: "After opening the bow, keep your hand steady, breathe gently, lift up a little bit after you set your sight on the target, and shoot!"

"Whoosh"!

The bamboo arrow fell in response, hitting the bullseye.

The people around were amazed.

Mu Feng himself looked at the arrow not far away that was shot a little off the center of the bullseye, and felt a little ashamed.

"The distance of 30 meters is still a bit crooked. If you put such a technique in a previous life, I'm afraid that your coach will be sprayed to death!"

The hunting team members who got Mu Feng's correction seemed to be enlightened.

Several groups of people who came have been able to hit five or six arrows with ten arrows, and two of them even hit within the sixth ring.

You know, this is just the beginning of practice, and it has already achieved such good results!

"It seems that the Archer Army has a lot to do!" Mu Feng secretly said.
