Chapter Thirty-Seven: Material Processing, Tanning!
"Don't worry, it's not ripe yet. β
Xu Letou said this without looking back.
Lin Xihan glared at him resentfully.
Those who don't let me eat are bad people!
Fortunately, the crisp stem tube of the cattail is enough.
Lin Xihan, who was hungry, held a cattail with peeled skin, smelled the aroma of meat, and nibbled on a cattail.
It's very pitiful.
Taking advantage of the low temperature to bake the snake meat, Xu Le continued to process the snake skin that had just been peeled.
Although it has been dried for a day, the snakeskin remains soft and tough because it has been clinging to the snake meat.
After laying it flat on the stone for a while, the snakeskin, which was still a little curly, began to flatten.
Xu Le arranged the outer layer of the snakeskin facing downwards and the inner layer of the meat facing upwards.
After making sure that the blade of the stone knife was still flat and sharp, he quickly scraped the inside of the snakeskin with the blade to remove the fat and tissue that had not been completely stripped away.
Cha...... Cha......
White minced meat and residual fat fell staggeringly.
After removing the excess tissue, the inner layer of snakeskin is neatly colored, the surface is smooth, and there are no impurities at all.
Barrage β
"How can Big Guy Xu Le do anything?"
"Processing raw hides is such a thing, but it's a professional job! The anchor shouldn't be a leathersmith in his main business, right?"
"Just this shaving technique, without three years and five years of practice, I can't get down!"
"Hehe, not just Huang He, there is a tannery in Jiangnan, and when Mr. Xu Le completes the challenge of surviving on a desert island, he is happy to invite Mr. to come and guide!"
"Upstairs...... Do you still have a sister-in-law?"
"How do you know? My little sister-in-law, hahaha, is beautiful!"
β......β
Lin Xihan watched Xu Le's movements beside him, his eyes straightened.
She didn't focus on the snakeskin that had been scraped clean, but Xu Le's knife.
Stable, decisive......
Lin Xihan felt more and more that he couldn't understand Xu Le.
Obviously, he was seasick on a speedboat, and he was still covered in empty flesh.
But after only three days on the island, he showed incredible survival skills.
Finding water...... Domesticated the black-footed cat...... Digging a fish pond for fish...... Construction of wooden houses and fences...... Now it's processing leather again.
By the way, it's good to cook for him......
Is there any heavenly reason?
It feels like Xu Le was born for the wilderness......
Children of the Wild?
If the character is not so obnoxious, it is perfect......
When she was thinking about it so intently, Xu Le had already finished shaving the last cut.
The inner layer of the entire snakeskin has no traces of muscle and fat on the whole body, and it is so clean that it does not look like it was processed by hand at all.
Xu Le shook the snakeskin, and let out a crisp sound.
"I did a little bit of snakeskin, it's a rare thing in the wild. β
"You can make tools like quivers, knife holsters, and so on. β
"It can also be used to make shoes, gloves, wrist pads, knee pads, or clothing. β
While speaking, Xu Le looked at Lin Xihan.
Snake Girl ...... It feels like it's quite emotional!
Well...... Does it have anything to do with me...... Lin Xihan was confused, and then remembered the bad thing Xu Le did just now-
Dare you say that my clothes smell sour?
Goddesses are fragrant!
And just a little snakeskin, what is enough?
Xu Le didn't continue to dwell on this topic.
The fat has been scraped off, and there is still a long way to go before the tanning is completed.
Not enough to upgrade skills.
After running to a small waterhole and cleaning the remaining stains on the snakeskin with running water, Xu Le returned to the well-defended yard, unfolded the snakeskin, and hung it in a ventilated place to drain it for a short time.
"First we simply dry it, and then we move on to the next process β stretching. β
According to the shape of the snakeskin, Xu Le tied four long wooden poles into a rectangle.
The rectangular frame, more than thirty centimeters long and wide than the snakeskin, is tied to each of the four corners with a sturdy soft vine.
Under the blowing of the sea breeze, the water on the snakeskin quickly evaporated, and Xu Le used a sharpened wooden stick to poke a small hole in each of the four corners of the snakeskin.
The soft vines at the four corners of the stretch frame passed through the small holes, tied firmly, and then pulled hard againβ
In this way, the entire snakeskin is tightly wrapped in a wooden frame.
The gray-brown diamond-shaped markings are presented in a boxy manner.
Lin Xihan noticed that the snake skin processed by Xu Le was not deformed at all.
The barrage is also sighing-
"Just such a snake skin, put it on the market and sell it, it is estimated that it will cost tens of thousands. β
"The craftsmanship of handling snakeskins is simply amazing. The snakeskin is in perfect condition!"
"Hahaha, I just don't know what Xu Le is going to make with this snake skin. If you get a bag of Ai Lou Wei or Gu Qi, then I'm afraid it will have to go up to 100,000!"
"Awesome! With this skill, I Jiangnan Tannery, I am willing to serve Mr. Xu Le as the general consultant! Lead 30,000 female tannery workers, bigger and stronger, and create brilliance together!"
"Hahaha, Lao Huang upstairs, do you want to think about it and introduce your sister-in-law to Boss Xu Le?"
"How can that be!"
