Chapter 50 Can You Hunt If You Like Pig's Hands?
Everyone couldn't help laughing for a while, and they all burst out laughing.
Anti-Ba didn't understand and said, "Pig hands, you can hunt if you like to eat pig's paws?" The girl's big eyes were full of confusion.
Han Fei laughed the loudest, "Uh-huh, yes-di-haha!"
Although Amba is simple, there seems to be a feeling from Lin Lin's eyes and tone that the beautiful girl in front of her seems to be jealous of the vinegar of the boy named Mu Yu?
Lin Lin was very interested in the roe deer skin robe on Amba's body, and looked left and right in admiration and amazement, "Wow, this is actually made of a whole roe deer skin!"
"Yes, I made it myself, no, you see the leather robe I made now, I want my brother to get me some lynx fur to decorate, it will be more beautiful." ”
Mu Yu also knows the preciousness of lynx skins, but since other girls like it and are guests for the first time, they must always prepare to write a greeting gift to look good.
"Since you need a lynx skin, I'll give it to you, and this badger skin!"
An Ba immediately jumped up, stepped forward and grabbed Mu Yu's arm, "I'm waiting for these skins to make robes, I'll make you a big rib nose to eat today, it's a good stir-fry for entertaining guests!"
Oroqen people, regardless of men and women, have basically the same style of leather robes, all of which are right plackets. The decoration on the leather robe is simple and generous. For the sake of beauty and durability, the cuffs and the edges of the robe are inlaid with a thin layer of leather, finely and densely quilted to a flat and stiff firmness, and some collars are sewn with lynx or fox skins.
Women's clothing, in addition to trimming, is decorated with beautiful floral patterns. The most common Oroqen costume is the cloud-shaped pattern of the spire, and these decorations are related to the imitation and love of nature of the Oroqen people who have lived among the mountains for a long time.
Ashku cherished the robes and leather clothes that his mother had made for him, hanging them in a small storehouse and occasionally taking them out to dry.
More than ten years have passed, and this outfit is still well maintained and can still be worn.
But today, it is difficult to find an Oroqen person who can skillfully "cook the skin". Because of the illegality of hunting, it was not easy to obtain hides, and on the other hand, young people were leaving the village to work in other places, and with the reasoning of time, fewer and fewer people mastered the craft of "cooked skins", and now they are all old people.
In the village of Shiriteki, the recognized "cooker" is a woman named Agilon, who is over sixty years old and in poor health due to a serious illness. The recognized expert in cooked leather in the whole flag is an old woman named Erdenhang, who is over eighty years old.
Fresh roe deer skins cannot be processed directly, they must be dried in the shade and then hung on a high place to air dry. The roe deer skin made in this way is not easy to deform and durable.
The process of air-drying takes about 20 days, and the dried roe deer skins can break or break easily like cardboard, so the skins should be softened before making animal skins. The traditional method of the Oroqen people is to crush the boiled roe deer liver, stir it in warm water, and then dip it in the soft, flexible black reed grass and spread it evenly on the hide.
The application must be even, especially in some small places, and it should be repeatedly wiped through. The smell of roe deer liver water is terrible, not only in the air, but also on the body, and it is difficult to dissipate for several days. After the skin is all wet, the small roe deer skin should be placed in the damp sawdust for one to two days, and the large roe deer skin can be rolled up directly after being coated with roe deer liver water.
The next step is the "cooked skin". "Cooked skins" is a very heavy manual labor, and the whole process of handmaking hides is the most exhausting. The tools used by the Oroqen people to cook the skin are very similar to the shape of the sickle head, the purpose is to remove the flesh and residue from the roe deer skin, and then rub it repeatedly with a serrated tool.
In this process, the most difficult thing is to fix the leather with two ** forks, and then cooperate with both hands to do a similar action of paddling, because the shape and size of the leather are different, it is very difficult to operate. In the process of "cooked skin", it is especially necessary to pay attention to dragging while cooking, because the roe deer skin is different from ordinary cloth, it has great elasticity, and if the force is uneven, the skin is prone to swelling and unevenness. The leather is ripe to the point where it is clean and soft, and it is ready to be cut and made.
Another very important task in making roe deer fur clothing is to roll the tendons of animals into threads for sewing clothes. Leather garments sewn with roe sinew threads are durable, and even if the leather garment is worn out, the threads will not open where they are connected.
The first step is to spread the tendons of the roe deer or moose and place them in moist wood chips, so that after treatment, the dry and brittle tendons will become soft and elastic. The most special part of the thread is to use the resistance of the skin to roll the roe sidon into a thread. First according to the direction of the fiber, the soft and moist roe deer tendons are torn, the thinner the better, and the torn roe deer tendons can be placed on the calf after being wet. When rolling the thread, you need to push the force in one direction, and the thread is rolled several times. It is probably necessary to use two roe deer tendons to make a roe deer fur coat and a trousers. It's slow, you have to rub it carefully, slowly.
Once these are ready, the roe deer fur garment can be sewn. According to the different elasticity of each piece of skin, special attention should be paid to the strength in the sewing process, the two hands cooperate with each other, and pay attention to whether the two pieces of leather are completely spliced while sewing, especially pay attention to not leaving gaps between the skins in the process of sewing, otherwise the splicing will be easy to be scraped. Sew with roe sinew threads, and the threads will not be exposed after sewing, and it will not work if you use ordinary threads.
People fear that with the departure of these old people, they will take with them the history of the Oroqen, which is the wealth of the entire Oroqen people. Although many scholars have proposed that a forest should be set aside for Oroqen hunting, so as to preserve and inherit the traditional production and lifestyle of the Oroqen, it is more likely that the reality is that those animal skin processing techniques will inevitably exist only in museums in the end.
Shiku still longed for the day when he could step on his horse and take his hounds into the mountains to hunt. He was an avid horse rider and a keen dog friend, and many of his dogs were both spirited and fierce – one was said to be able to "take down" a wild boar.
