Section 413

Practicality is the most important thing.

It only takes a few hours to improve your combat effectiveness in all aspects, and the cost performance is still very high.

…

After experiencing the fun of shooting, Lu Yu became playful.

He picked up all the wooden arrows that were shot and started a new round of practice.

Soon, within half an hour.

He had figured out the temper of this wooden bow and could use it with ease.

At the same time, his archery skills also improved by leaps and bounds.

The hit rate also reached 80% to 90%.

It was a rare moment of relaxation.

The dusk of the island also came quietly again inadvertently.

Looking at the sunset in the sky, Lu Yu used his fingers to calculate the sunset time:

"The sun will set in about an hour. Hurry up and make the arrow feathers and quiver first, and then prepare dinner."

Arrow feathers.

It can greatly improve the stability of arrows.

At the moment, there are a lot of turkey feathers in my hand.

It would be a waste if I don't use them.

In addition, turkey feathers are also a rare good material for making arrow feathers.

Not only are they hard and not easy to damage, but they are also of good weight and quality.

They can keep the arrow in a good flying state during flight.

Soon, after having this plan, Lu Yu turned back to the hut and took a lot of feathers and several straw ropes from the turkey's wings.

Then he returned to the fire again.

"The arrow feathers are the bird feathers attached to the tail end of the arrow shaft, and are an indispensable part of the whole arrow."

"It plays a role in balancing and maintaining direction. Usually, the outline of the arrow feathers is streamlined. This shape has good aerodynamic performance to ensure that the arrow can rotate when it is shot."

"You know, if an object running at high speed rotates itself, it can run more stably."

While speaking, Lu Yu had picked up three feathers and removed half of the feather branches respectively.

Then, he took out an arrow, placed three feathers with only half a feather branch evenly at the tail end of the arrow, and tied them with straw ropes.

"Each wooden arrow only needs three feathers, and it's enough. If there are more, it's useless."

"If it's not done well, it will be superfluous."

Most of the ancient arrows had three feathers.

There were almost no four or six feathers.

Most of the feathers were the product of modern bows and arrows "flying", which was really flashy.

After a while, the ten wooden arrows were brand new and all tied up.

It looked more and more like a real thing.

After tying the feathers, there were just some straw ropes left.

So Lu Yu took the rabbit skin and sewed a quiver for himself that he could carry on his back.

The rabbit skin quiver is very soft and much lighter than the bamboo tube.

Not only is it easy to carry, it can also reduce the weight.

It is also easy to draw, tied around the waist, and you can get it with your back.

In addition, because Lu Yu specially tightened the quiver mouth.

Even if you run, the arrow will stay in the leather bag honestly and will not fall off.

The feathers are installed and the quiver is sewn.

Lu Yu tried the equipment on himself.

"Well, it's almost done."

"In this way, a set of primitive hunting bows is complete. I believe that with it, our trip to the north shore will be very smooth... Phew, at least I am very satisfied..."

The moment he finished speaking.

Lu Yu took out a wooden arrow from the quiver, put it on the bow handle, and shot it when it was fully pulled.

Whoosh!

The wooden arrow hit the bull's eye.

It pierced the wooden door of the hut.

...

After sunset.

Before dinner, Lu Yu took a small bark pot and went to the stream to get water.

Then he checked the hunting spot again.

After arriving at the place, he did not come out immediately.

Instead, he hid in a bush and waited for a long time.

He walked closer to check after confirming that there was no movement at the trap.

Now, half a day has passed.

There are no obvious footprints on the ground.

The five traps are all intact.

It seems that the chickens have not visited them yet, otherwise it would not be like this.

"Don't worry, come back tomorrow morning to have a look."

In the picture, Lu Yu looked around and muttered:

"My judgment should not be wrong, there must be more than one turkey nearby... So, let's wait and see, now go back to prepare dinner..."

...

When I returned to the camp, it was completely dark.

Adding a few pieces of firewood to the campfire, Lu Yu put the small pot full of water on the fire and prepared to boil the water first.

"Brothers, let's eat turkey tonight."

"Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't eaten meat for a long time, so this meal is too important, just to satisfy the gluttony in my stomach."

As soon as they heard that they were going to eat chicken, the barrage instantly increased:

"Are you going to poison again?"

"The chicken is shivering!"

"Daily food segment!"

"The spicy strips are ready, waiting for the anchor to start!"

"MD, I am so disappointing that I drooled again!"

...

The bark pot boils water quickly.

In a few minutes, it began to bubble.

Seeing the water boiling, Lu Yu immediately returned to the hut, brought out a large turkey, and placed it next to the fire.

Then, he casually found a discarded coconut shell.

I scooped a ladle of boiling hot water from the pot and poured it on the chicken feathers.

Wild turkeys are different from domesticated chickens.

They eat a lot of insects, so the meat is very firm, and depilation is no problem.

After a few scoops of hot water,

the pores on the chicken skin expanded little by little.

At this time, as long as you pull it gently with your hands, the chicken feathers will fall off.

However, because the size of this chicken is really a bit big.

And Lu Yu didn't have a larger container in his hand.

So it was still a bit difficult to handle.

Handling turkeys is definitely a technical job.

In foreign countries, killing turkeys has even formed a complete industrial chain, and the slaughtering tools are becoming more and more professional.

Squatting by the campfire.

Lu Yu used the firelight to pour hot water on the chicken while plucking the chicken feathers.

It took more than half an hour to finish the work.

"The most authentic way to eat turkey is, of course, roasting it. During Thanksgiving and Christmas, roast turkey is an indispensable dish on the Western table."

"This dish originated in 1620, when British immigrants held a grand thanksgiving party to thank the Indians who rescued them, using roast turkey and corn cakes to entertain these primitive natives."

"So, over time, eating turkey on Thanksgiving became a unique custom in the American continent."

As he spoke, Lu Yu found a few sticks from the firewood pile.

He tied the turkey belly to a wooden rack.

Afterwards, after testing the charcoal fire with his palm, he found the grill he had made before and put the turkey on it.
