Chapter 77: Smash out a knife

Xu Yi first wrapped the leopard's neck and the skin of its limbs around with a knife.

In this way, after the belly is opened, the leopard skin can be peeled off.

In this way, the leopard skin gets a relatively complete one.

It is easier to tear the skin directly, although you will lose a lot of fat, but when you fix it to the tripod, you can still slowly hang the grease and boil it into oil.

Yesterday's deer oil Xu Yi was going to be used to cook rice, and today's leopard oil Xu Yi was going to be used to make oil lamps, and he also tried to make soap.

He and Su Keke's hair was dry like thatch because they didn't use shampoo, which was very uncomfortable.

If there were good tools, Xu Yi would want to shave his head bald.

Bald head, easy to clean, and not easy to be attached to bugs.

However, Xu Yi's knife is suitable for chopping things, and if it is used to shave his head, it is not sharp enough.

If it were used to shave the head, it would have left a lot of wounds.

Therefore, Xu Yi hopes to make soap.

Although the hair is not as smooth after washing it with soap, it is at least smoother than now.

After peeling the leopard's skin, Xu Yi broke open the leopard's belly.

Xu Yi still didn't ask for the intestines this time, and he didn't ask for the lungs either.

It was too much trouble to deal with, but instead of throwing it into the river and washing it away, he left it behind, put it in the creek, and pressed it with stones.

He was going to dig traps near the camp to attract animals.

You don't have to go far to hunt, and you can do it near the camp.

If you want to go hunting far away, you will have to hunt because all the prey in the vicinity has been gone.

Xu Yi and Su Keke's camp was still patronized by wild beasts, so he could have set traps near the camp and wait for the beasts to come to the door.

The reward he received last night gave Xu Yi a lot of confidence.

This is the positive effect brought by the improvement of strength.

Before, Xu Yi would definitely think about making the trap a little farther away, so that he and Su Keke would be safer.

It's different now, Xu Yi feels that it's closer, and it's easier to deal with.

In case the trap didn't kill the prey, he could also shoot directly and kill the prey, saving it from howling all night, and there was no way to rest for himself and Su Keke.

After carrying the leopard meat back, Xu Yi began to cut.

It needs to be cut into small pieces to be able to smoke the meat.

If the lump is too large and too thick, it will not be smoked and it will easily deteriorate.

Wouldn't it be a waste of time if it spoiled?

Xu Yi, naturally, it is not possible to allow this kind of thing to happen.

"Dad, I'll cut the meat, Dad, you have other things to do. ”

Su Coco offered to help, after all, the meat was thinner than yesterday's venison.

The venison can be eaten in a few days, but the leopard meat needs to be preserved for a longer time.

"This knife is too heavy for you to fit. ”

Xu Yi refused, after all, this stone machete is indeed too heavy, Su Keke is enough to hold it, how to cut the meat?

"But Daddy has to deal with leopard skins, and that Coco can't get it. I can use this stone chisel, it's very light, I can cut it slowly. Su Keke felt that Xu Yi had a lot to do, so he insisted on trying.

Xu Yi glanced at the stone knife on the side of the bonfire, and now it was completely reduced to a stone slab, which was used to fry things and eat.

"Wait a minute, I'll see if I can smash a knife. ”

As he spoke, Xu Yi picked up the stone knife on the ground that was intended to be sharpened.

Because there are really a lot of things to do, Xu Yi can't spare time to polish the kitchen knife.

Smashing is a trouble-saving solution.

In ancient times, most of the stone knives or other weapons were smashed.

Especially flint, there is often a sharp fracture after smashing, and it is particularly suitable to be used as a knife.

There were no big rocks in the camp, but there were on the side of the stream.

Xu Yi took the stone knife and came to the edge of the stream.

He didn't just smash the stone knife at the stone.

Instead, he picked up some stones from the stream and spread them on the bank, and then put the stone knives on his face, so that some of them hung in the air.

Then, he picked up a large rock from the stream and threw it directly at the stone knife.

After the big rock hit the stone knife, it was bounced and rolled to the side.

If Xu Yi hadn't reacted quickly, his foot would have been hit.

"Ha, yes, smashed a small sharp knife. ”

Xu Yi happily picked up a piece of stone, it was only the length of his palm, and the side was very sharp.

Xu Yi picked it up and looked at it, the fracture was very thin and sharp.

With this, you can use this to cut meat, which can be very labor-saving.

Although there is no handle, it can be used.

If you want a handle, you can only find a suitable piece of wood at night, then chisel out a suitable groove and put the stone blade in it.

After bringing the sharp blade back, Su Keke immediately became happy when he saw it.

She had already started cutting meat with a stone chisel, but it wasn't very easy to use because the stone chisel was limited in width.

The sharp piece that Xu Yi brought back was different, and the blade had some relatively small arcs, and it was a very useful kind of knife at first glance.

"Dad, you're amazing. ”

Su Keke is completely Xu Yi's little fan sister, looking at Xu Yi with admiration.

Xu Yi happily touched Su Keke's head, and then said, "You cut carefully, and after a while, Dad will handle the leopard skin, and then we will cut the meat together." ”

Then, Xu Yi used some plant ash and began to tann leopard skin.

After half an hour of tanning, Xu Yi began to make another tripod from bamboo, and then fixed the leopard skin to the tripod and hung it up to smoke.

Su Coco had already cut most of the leopard's meat and put it all in a bucket to marinate.

After Xu Yi finished processing the leopard skin, he also cut the rest of the meat with Su Keke.

The skeleton of the leopard, Xu Yi planned to throw it to the creek first.

These bones still have a role, but the trap on the edge of the camp has not been dug well, and Xu Yi thinks it is more reliable to throw them on the side of the stream.

"Dad, how are we going to cook at noon?"

Su Ke could see that the time for lunch was getting closer and closer, so he asked curiously.

Do you boil sliced leopard meat?

Looking at it, it doesn't seem to be very delicious.

After all, their seasoning is in too limited.

Xu Yi also said that the meat of this leopard tastes similar to the meat of the bobcat, and it is harder.

Therefore, Su Keke felt that it would not be very delicious to cook.

"Dad went to the river to see if he could pick up a thinner slate, and now that we have oil, we can try to fry the pork slices to eat. ”

"You take a little cassava and cut it into small pieces and see if you can get some starch and use it to coat the slices of meat, so that the meat is more tender. ”

After speaking, Xu Yi took off his clothes and walked towards the river.
