Traveling through the mountains and farming

August 15th was the sixteenth day since Lin Wan arrived in the ancient world.

It is also the Mid-Autumn Festival here, a day that symbolizes family reunion.

In the early morning, when she just wakes up, she will feel sad because today is Mid-Autumn Festival and she misses her parents and relatives.

However, her sadness was short-lived because there were still many things waiting for her to do.

This morning, she not only had to make a dozen buckets of ice jelly, but also had to practice archery with Luo Dashan.

That’s right, today is the day they agreed to start learning archery.

At dawn, Luo Dashan hurried over with the bows and arrows and targets needed by the three people.

At this time, Li Chongle was warming up in the yard waiting for Luo Dashan. He had only learned half a quarter of an hour ago that they would practice archery every morning from today on.

My sister-in-law said that this was for physical exercise and to improve skills so as to be prepared for a rainy day.

When he heard some noise at the gate of the courtyard, he ran over immediately. When he saw it was Luo Dashan, he hurriedly opened the door with a smile and happily pulled Luo Dashan in.

Afterwards, he shouted to Lin Wan and Li Ke into the house, telling them that Uncle Dashan was here and to come out and practice archery.

When Lin Wan and Li Ke heard Li Chongle's call, they hurried out of the house. After greeting Luo Dashan with a smile, they officially began to learn archery.

At this time, Luo Dashan had already placed the target he brought from home in the yard, and distributed the bows and arrows that he had promised to make for Lin Wan to them one by one.

Lin Wan took the bow and arrows and found that they were tailor-made according to the body shapes and strength conditions of the three people.

After that, Luo Dashan stood in the middle of the yard and began to teach archery seriously and attentively.

I saw him holding the bow steadily with his right hand, his left hand naturally resting on the string, pulling the bow smoothly, and then letting go. The arrow flew out with a "whoosh" and hit the target steadily.

Then, he turned around and began to carefully explain to Lin Wan and the other two how to draw the bow correctly.

"When drawing the bow, the lower body and hands must be stable, and the force must be evenly distributed. It should not be too stiff or too loose." Luo Dashan said while carefully demonstrating the key points of each action. "The archery posture should be balanced, the body should be slightly tilted back, and the eyes should be fixed on the target..."

After the explanation, the three of them couldn't wait to pick up the bows and arrows and start trying.

Lin Wan held the bow handle tightly with both hands and tried her best to do as Luo Dashan said, but her movements were still not quite standard.

Li Chongle pulled the bow too hard, causing his body to tilt to the left and back.

Li Ke was in a panic, and the bow and arrow could not be synchronized. Several times he held the bow steadily, but the arrow fell.

Luo Dashan patiently instructed them one by one, "Lin Wan, relax your hands a little more." "Xiao Le, pay attention to your body balance." "Xiao Ke, don't be anxious, take your time."

With Luo Dashan's constant correction, the three of them gradually made progress.

Lin Wan and Li Ke slowly found the feeling and their movements became more and more standard. Although they were still far from the standard of perfection, they had at least mastered the correct method of drawing the bow and shooting arrows.

Because Li Chongle always used the slingshot made by Lin Wan to play and practice, his shooting skills and strength control were better than others. He was the one who learned bow and arrow the fastest. After a short practice, he could shoot arrows and hit the target in a standard way.

Finally, the three of them dragged their tired bodies to bid farewell to Luo Dashan after their first archery practice.

But the two siblings soon forgot their physical fatigue and quickly packed up because they were going to go into the city for the first time after breakfast.

The two of them specially changed into new clothes, and also wore new shoes that Lin Wan had asked her third aunt Chen Lian to make for them two days ago. Li Ke also carried the yellow linen cross-body bag that Lin Wan made for her to match her clothes.

At this time, Lin Wan, who was in the house, put a small basket of sweet crisps and a small jar of sweet sauce neatly into the backpack.

Then, when she walked out of the door, she saw a handsome and lovely brother and sister waiting for her in the yard with smiles on their faces.

When Li Chongle saw Lin Wan, he asked with some doubt: "Sister-in-law, we need to buy things for tomorrow's renovation banquet today, don't we need to push the cart?"

Lin Wan smiled and replied, "No, Aunt Yu Niang said this morning that she would wait for us to go home together and let us use their cart."

After hearing Lin Wan's answer, Li Chongle walked up to her and naturally took the backpack she was carrying and put it on his back.

Lin Wan saw that the backpack was not heavy, so she let him carry it, thinking that she could change it later on the way.

Then they locked the gate carefully and set off towards the county town with brisk steps.

In less than an hour, the three arrived at the city gate.

At this time, you can still see a lot of people coming into the city. Lin Wan thought that it might be because today is a holiday, so there are actually a lot of people coming into the city during this non-peak period.

Although it was the first time for the brother and sister to come to the county town, they did not feel the slightest bit timid as they were accompanied by their eldest sister-in-law. Under the guidance of their eldest sister-in-law, they quickly passed through the city gate and entered the city.

After entering the city, Lin Wan took them straight to Qinxin Teahouse.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the teahouse, I was spotted by Shen Zeyu, the handsome waiter from last time.

He came over to greet her even more enthusiastically than last time, and said with a smile on his face, "Mrs. Lin, long time no see, welcome to our Qinxin Teahouse!"

Lin Wan greeted politely: "Hello, long time no see, is the shopkeeper here?"

"Yes, I'll take you to the private room upstairs first, and the boss will be here soon." The waiter Shen Zeyu said enthusiastically.

He did not ask the shopkeeper in advance, but took the initiative to take Lin Wan and the others to the private room. In addition to the fact that the shopkeeper was his uncle, he knew that Lin Wan's ice jelly brought a lot of profits and popularity to their store.

You know, ever since Lin Wan started cooperating with the teahouse and providing their special ice jelly, the store's customer flow has increased significantly.

Many guests came here specifically to taste the novel and delicious ice jelly after hearing about it.

Many people also think that ice jelly is just right to relieve the heat in the hot weather after eating it, and they must have a bowl of it every day.

In addition to bringing direct business to their store, ice jelly also has a series of chain reactions.

Customers who become regulars because of the ice jelly will often order other snacks and drinks while tasting the ice jelly, further boosting the sales of other products in the teahouse.

Lin Wan led the two siblings and followed the waiter into the store. The two siblings observed everything in the teahouse with curiosity.

The teahouse was extremely lively at this time. Someone was telling a story vividly on the stage, and people in the audience gathered in groups of three or five, sipping tea and chatting happily.

The waiters shuttled quickly between the tables and chairs, serving tea and water, with warm smiles on their faces.

They also noticed that many tables were neatly laid out with exquisite snacks, moon cakes and homemade ice jelly.

Soon they walked through the noisy lobby and went up to the private room on the second floor. Tea and cakes were already prepared on the tea table in the private room. It was obviously a room specially used by the shopkeeper to receive guests.

The waiter politely asked the three people to sit down and then left.

Lin Wan looked at the two slightly reserved siblings and invited them to have some snacks with a smile.

After a while, Shopkeeper Shen came in.

He greeted Lin Wan with a smile, and then his eyes fell on the two siblings. After Lin Wan introduced the two siblings to her, he got straight to the point and asked:

"Manager Shen, do you need any new drinks or snacks?"

"Yes, but we still need to taste it first. If the taste is unique and delicious enough, we can cooperate as before." Shopkeeper Shen said slowly.

He was actually very curious about what kind of surprise Lin Wan could bring him. After all, the ice jelly she had last time was very popular in the teahouse and was sold out within an hour of opening every day. Some customers would even come early just to eat the ice jelly.

So he was full of expectations for the new drink that Lin Wan brought this time.

"Of course. Could you please ask someone to bring you a cup of warm water? I'll let you enjoy it in a while." Lin Wan said confidently.

Then Shopkeeper Shen saw her take out a small clay pot and a small bamboo basket from the backpack beside her.

Although he didn't know what Lin Wan wanted the warm water for, he still told Shen Zeyu to get a cup of warm water.
