Chapter 37 Cooked Skins
Three of the nine brown cats who were caught in the axe were directly killed, while those who were not dead made a shrill scream because of their injuries.
The brown cat who had not been smashed was confused.
What about the meat piece? What about the meat piece that was agreed upon? Didn’t you throw the meat piece all the time just now?
After being caught off guard, these brown cats were obviously stunned.
Then most of the brown cats turned around and fled to the bottom of the mountain.
There were a few brown cats who rushed up at this time without fear of death, trying to kill the Tongshu and the others for a big meal.
Unfortunately, in the snow, they can't use any force, run, jump, and feel like they are glued on their feet.
For these slow brown cats, Tongshu was not ruthless at all. They either swept with big sticks or smashed them with stone axes. All the brown cats that rushed up in an instant were killed.
Laughing, the Tongshu and the others chased towards the escaped brown cats.
In the snow, human legs are longer than brown cats, which is a natural advantage.
Although the snow also had a certain impact on Tongshu and others, their speed was several times faster than the brown cats who were half stuck in the snow.
The brown cats fled desperately in front of them with their tails, but were caught up by the tung tree and the others little by little.
The brown cats on the hunting route, and Tongshu and the others knocked them to death with big sticks.
If you catch up to a certain distance, a stone axe will fly over and smash them to death in the snow.
If one axe doesn't hit, you can't get another axe.
The brown cat trapped in the snow had no ability to resist at all, and could only watch the stone axe being put on.
The whole battle was wrong. It should be said that the massacre lasted almost ten minutes, and none of the brown cats tricked into the mountain successfully escaped.
The mottled fur of the brown cats is the best protective color in the woods, but when it comes to the snow, it has become the most eye-catching sign.
The Tong Tree and the others smiled happily, shouted, and cleaned the battlefield excitedly.
One by one, the dead brown cats were picked up. In a blink of an eye, the open space at the entrance of the cave was filled with the brown cat's corpses.
As big as this, they have never hunted so many preys at one time.
To be honest, the valley is full of plants and many plants are edible. By collecting it alone, the tribesmen can survive without starving to death.
There are actually not many opportunities to catch prey and eat meat, and there are only a few times a month.
And now, I have caught so many brown cats at once, how can I not make them ecstatic?
The tribe members in the cave ran out excitedly, walked around the hill made of brown cats for a few times, and then ran back so cold that they ran back quickly.
So many brown cats are a huge and valuable asset for everyone.
Not to mention the food they provide, their animal skin alone can add a lot of animal skin jackets to the tribe members.
In this cold winter, a animal leather jacket is at some point a life.
Wang Wei counted next to the pile of brown cats. When the tung tree and the others caught one, Wang Wei counted one.
When it was confirmed that all the brown cats outside were picked up, Wang Wei counted 54 in total.
Regardless of size, one animal leather jacket can be made on average for three brown cats. These fifty-four brown cats can add eighteen sets of animal leather jackets to the tribe.
After the brown cat's body was retrieved, Tongshu and the others began to peel it.
Without a knife, they used sharp stones to grind a hole in the skin, and then tear off the entire skin along the hole.
The torn off the animal skin and rub the fat and flesh off with stones, can make a skin coat for the women in the clan.
Although these animal skins have been simply processed, they are actually useless.
Just like the animal skin on the Tongshu and the others, the animal hair outside the skin has fallen off, and the warmth effect is much worse than at the beginning.
And what Wang Wei couldn't stand the most was that these animal skins also emitted a disgusting smell.
Fortunately, it is winter now and the temperature is relatively low. If it is summer, these animal leather jackets may have begun to rot now.
In fact, the main reason for the deprivation and decay of these animal skins is that these skins have not been made of nitrogen, which is what the elderly often call cooked skins.
The craftsmanship of cooked skin was very common in the past, especially in places where you can get back. There must be one or two people in the village who make a living by doing this.
The cripple in the west of Wangwei Village does this. People often go up the mountain to hunt in nearby villages. Wangwei remembers that when he was a child, people would bring back one or two bald wolfs from the mountain, and their skins were left to the cripple.
Every time a crappy skin is cooked, the crappy can get a large piece of meat, but Wang Wei is envious. Zeng Lizhi will be a man who is cooked like a crappy skin when he grows up.
In order to make this dream of eating meat frequently, Wang Wei followed the cripple all day long.
Unfortunately, just when Wang Wei was about to learn all this craft, the Cripman helped the people get familiar with two tiger skins, and then the little police car drove to the village and took both the Cripman and the Tiger skin away.
Since then, Wang Wei has given up his ideal, but he has never forgotten the simple fur and nitrogen product.
Many people think that the process of making fur in nitrogen is complex and precise, and requires all kinds of strange chemicals.
In fact, this is not the case. Many steps are actually complicated, and the reason why merchants do this is just to appear classy.
If you only pay attention to practicality, a handful of wood ash and a pool of warm water will be enough.
The animal skins on the tung trees are not made of nitrogen. They are cracked, dried, smelly, and hair removal. If people who know how to see it, they must be beaten with pain and scolding.
So much animal skin has been wasted, Wang Wei really doesn't want to see that the fresh animal skins that have just been peeled off today have also been wasted.
Walking to the tung tree, he squatted down and looked at the fat on the tung tree rubbed the skin with the stone slabs.
After looking at it for a while, Wang Wei said, "Tung Tree, aren't you familiar with the skin after you get it?"
"Are you burned all the hairs when cooked? If you don't have food, you will cook the skin. But now it's so cold, it's better to wear the skin." Tongshu said seriously.
After coughing twice in embarrassment, Wang Wei explained: "I mean, will you just wear it directly after shaving the flesh on the skin? Will you not do more treatment?"
"What else do you do?" Tongshu asked in confusion.
"The animal skin on your body shouldn't be worn for much time, right? Look, the hair on the back has fallen out, and many places have cracked. I guess a hole will be cracked in a while. The skin is hard and smelly, so it is not comfortable to wear, right?" Wang Wei pointed to the animal skin on the tung tree and said.
"There's no way. In such cold weather, you can't come out without wearing animal skins. You have to wear them even if you don't wear them." Tongshu said.
When Wang Wei heard this, he shook his head and said, "In fact, it's not that the animal skin is uncomfortable to wear, but that you haven't treated the animal skin well. After the animal skin in our hometown is treated, the hair on it will not fall off or smell bad for a long time, and it will feel very soft to the touch, as if it has always been fresh."
Tongshu widened his eyes and asked quickly: "Really? How did you do your hometown? Wang Wei, teach me!"
Wang Wei flipped through the animal skin in the Tong tree's hand and said, "I can teach you how to make me. But it will take several days to cook skins. Now many people in the tribe are waiting for this batch of animal skins to keep warm. I'm afraid they can't wait."
When Tongshu heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and said, "No, even if you have to wait for several days, you have to wait. Otherwise, you can't wear this skin before it gets hot. How can you catch so many brown cats at once?"
Wang Wei smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you can make the decision, I can start anytime, but the tribe members have to rely on you to convince them."
