At present, in addition to some medium-sized deer, the tribe's meat sources are also supplemented by small prey such as sheep, rabbits, pheasants, snakes, rats and other animals. Sometimes, some domesticated pheasants and rabbits will be killed and eaten. And the person in front of him is the pheasant caught by the hunting team yesterday to remove the feathers and guts, cut into pieces and prepare to cook chicken soup in the pot.

Seeing that the other party was so wasteful, Ding Qi hurriedly stopped.

"Wait and wait, do you usually pluck chicken feathers like this?"

This is an old man of the tribe, and after setting up the canteen, he was drawn to help. Originally, he was excited when he saw the leader come to see him pluck chicken feathers, and said that the leader has also begun to pay attention to the plucking work, so we have to behave well, maybe when we will become famous in the tribe!

The leader has said that there is no distinction between high and low people, and there is no distinction between work and work. The work done by everyone in the tribe is noble, and the work of plucking chicken feathers is also noble. Since the leader sees it, we have to show real skills, and we have to work harder. With a pull of both hands, the chicken feathers and chicken skin come down together, clean and fast. It's not blowing, no one can compare to our hand.

But listening to the meaning of the leader's words, isn't it wrong to pluck chicken feathers like this? The drum was beating in my heart, but I had to quickly reply:

"It's... Yes, the head... Collar, flat... Flat... Usually plucked like this. ”

Ding Qi didn't hear that the other party was a little nervous, and his attention was still on the dozen chickens on the ground.

"You can pluck chicken feathers at a level, fast, but it's a bit of a waste! You see these chicken heads, chicken necks, chicken feet and chicken internal organs are all thrown away, it's a pity. Come, I'll show you a way to make sure there is no waste. ”

After saying that, Ding Qi asked him to hurry up and bring a pot of hot water, where there were ready-made stoves, and a few children in the tribe were boiling water there.

As soon as this person hears it, huh? There is also this way of plucking chicken feathers, so you have to learn it, and quickly turn around and go to bring hot water.

"Okay, look at it!"

Ding Qi tested the water temperature, about 80 degrees, the water temperature was just right, and then put a pheasant into a clay pot next to it, and then poured hot water on the pheasant. In the steaming heat, I saw Ding Qi holding a chicken leg in his left hand, flying up and down with his right hand, whirring continuously, a pinch of chicken feathers was thrown to the ground, and after a while, the whole pheasant that was still hairy just now became smooth.

This magical scene stunned the man, and at the same time attracted everyone in the Mei canteen. The cafeteria is not a meal at this time, and most people go to their respective parts of the work. So this movement did not attract more people's attention.

People don't know what the reason is, but pouring some hot water can easily pluck out pheasant feathers, which is really unbelievable for them.

The way of scalding the pheasant with hot water and then plucking the chicken feathers actually uses the principle of heat * expansion and cold contraction. But the water should not be too hot, 70-80 degrees is enough, 100 degrees of water will make the chicken feathers tight, more difficult to pull out, but also damage the chicken skin, affect the appearance.

A better way is to add some salt to the hot water, which can even remove the fluff from the chicken. But now that salt is precious, Ding Qi is reluctant to waste it, and it's nothing to eat some chicken fluff into his stomach, right?

Ding Qi told everyone the principle of heat * expansion and cold contraction, and everyone said that they understood, and took the initiative to boil more water, poured it into the clay pot containing the pheasant, and quickly withdrew the feathers.

Looking at the smooth pheasant in their hands, Mei They were very happy, and bluntly said that Aragami knew a lot, and even knew this method of removing hair. Everyone learned a trick and hurriedly took a bronze kitchen knife to remove the internal organs. Aragami said that chicken offal can also be eaten, and everyone's food will be increased in the future.

After dealing with this trivial matter, Ding Qi greeted the little cutie who ran over with the smell, touched its head and hugged it in his arms. Now small

Cute but really grown up, about one meter six in length, 80 centimeters in shoulder height, weighing more than 90 pounds, bigger than a cheetah, a beast with solid feet.

I don't know why, but the little cutie is much bigger than the lynx in Tinki's impression, and it may have something to do with the natural environment here.

Dragged the little cutie to the residence of the doctor witch deer, where a group of young girls sat there, rubbing ropes, chatting, the main content was how Ding Qi arranged for the deer, how to strengthen communication, enhance mutual trust between tribes. Two bears were curled up at the feet of the deer, sleeping soundly.

Xiong Da Xiong Er may eat, only eat fish and meat, sleep when he is full, and do not pay any attention to other people and things, even Ding Qi and the others will not look at it squarely, and at present, the deer in the tribe can reach an intimate relationship with them. Usually they both hang out with the cutie, except for eating and sleeping, they will stay together and wander around the surrounding woods at other times.

After listening to the discussion between them, Ding Qi couldn't help but speak out and said with a smile:

"Oh, you're having such a lively discussion! But I can give you a heads up. ”

Ding Qi spoke, drawing everyone's attention, and only then began to talk about the topic.

"The task I have assigned you to Healer is how to strengthen communication and mutual trust with other tribes. Then, we can use the evening time to do a small performance, and show the feelings between the tribes and tribes through this performance. The content can be about the tribe building the city, it can include the miserable life of the slaves before, and how cruel the tribes that enslaved them treated the slaves. ”

"You can also tell some jokes, you can go deep into our construction site, observe carefully, show some of the things that will happen, the person involved, what the truth is told, etc. This will quickly bring you closer to other people. At the same time, we can also let everyone know the ideas and practices advocated by our Ding tribe through performances. ”

The people below, including the Witch Deer, listened carefully to Ding Qi's explanation, shocked by Ding Qi's thoughts. Ding Qi proposed a new word for everyone: drama, saying that everyone's performance is drama.

Speaking of this, Ding Qi told everyone the story of a white-haired girl, but there was no landlord and no old wealth, and there was no father of the white-haired girl. There are only slave owners who enslave people, oppressed and bullied white-haired girls, and the final story is that the white-haired girls united with the slaves to overthrow the rule of the slave owners and live a happy life.

After the story was told, the girls below cried, and the deer was no exception. Since the two agreed, the deer began to empty himself and remove the figure of Ding Qi from his mind. Seeing Ding Qi only regarded him as the leader of the tribe, he had no other thoughts.

Hearing such a poignant story told by Ding Qi deeply touched a string in his heart, hoping to save more slaves and return to normal life through his own efforts.

In the end, Ding Qi also gave them a small suggestion, that is, the choice of actors can be borrowed from other places, such as Cang and a group of them, such as Xue and Dan, which are good prototypes. However, the premise is to obtain the consent of the person himself, if he does not agree, he can ask the person in detail about the experience of the person, and then let his own person perform on stage.

Tinch's ideas are novel, and the story is fascinating. These teenage people who have only heard some stories from their own witches are the ones who want to hear more stories, more knowledge and stories, especially since they have learned cultural knowledge and are usually exposed to some of the stories told by Tinch. Therefore, everyone is particularly serious and committed to the work arranged by Ding Qi.

After dealing with these things, Ding Qi returned to the previous work site of peeling fish skin, and peeled fish skin with everyone, Ding Qi made a preliminary calculation, and the current peeled fish skin is about fifteen square meters, and then the remaining fish can reach twenty-five square meters, which is enough to use.

In the venue, everyone sat together, talking and laughing, and the work in their hands did not stop, gently picking, paddling back and forth, rotating a circle, and then turning over, continuing the previous action, cutting off the fish tail, and a piece of fish skin was freshly baked.

Ding Qi observed for a while, one of them is named Niu Er, who has the highest level of peeling, and it takes less than two minutes for others to take these movements, but Niu Er is quick and dexterous to peel up, and the action is done in one go, and a fish skin can be peeled out in about a minute, intact and undamaged, and even there will be no more fish meat or fat on the fish skin, clean and neat.

Ding Qi's eyes lit up, this is a good leatherman!

In fact, the most useful thing in the primitive tribe is all kinds of animal skins, with animal skins there are cold and warm clothes, although there are no scissors, but it is better to wrap on the body than to freeze to death. It can also be spread on the ground as a cushion and covered as a quilt on the body. If there is an animal skin, it can be used as a package, freeing human hands, and the collected things can be put in, and the two people carry them back, but the harvest is much more than if they were held alone.

Moreover, a good tanner, who is able to make the hides better, either lighter and thinner, or softer and warmer, or stronger and more durable, is now lacking in the tribe, or a group of people.

Immediately, Ding Qi asked people to call Ben and the buck, as well as the black bull of the Red Bull clan, and in front of several of them, appointed Niu Er as the leader of the leathersmith group, and became a middle-level cadre of the tribe.

In addition to Niu Er, the happiest person in the field was his patriarch Hei Niu. At present, in addition to him and the rhinoceros, he is a brute bull in his own clan, and he now leads a squad of warriors and serves as the squad leader. And Niu Er was directly appointed as the leader of the leathersmith group, but the level is higher than that of the bull, can he not be happy? The more people who can speak in the tribe, the greater the weight of their own Niu clan in the tribe.

The main purpose of Ding Qi asking everyone to peel the fish is to make a cold-proof greenhouse to grow Chinese cabbage, while yams, peppers, peppercorns and soybeans are placed on the back burner because they can be planted later.

According to what Ding Qi has learned before, Chinese cabbage roots are generally planted in early spring, that is, in February, and bloom around mid-spring, that is, from March to April, and bear fruit in late spring, that is, from April to May. According to the current feeling, it should be in the pre-mid-spring period, but the temperature has not risen too fast, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is a little large. Therefore, it will be much safer to have a greenhouse made of fish skin, and you don't have to worry about the cabbage freezing to death.

The peeled fish skin is spread out and hung on a wooden board, and dried before use. If you still want to make clothes, there are still many processes that need to be done, and you won't have time to make them in the short term.

An hour later, all the fish were stripped bare-bottomed and handed over to the cafeteria to make fish soup, and the skin was all dried in the open space outside, which was quite spectacular.

However, this is a hardship for their carpenter team, in addition to providing wood for the construction site, they also have to rush to make planks for drying fish skin, which is really tiring. The sound of sawing wood under their carpenter's shed never stopped, one after another. In order to prevent them from inhaling too much wood powder, Ding Qi specially made masks with two layers of deerskin and wool for them to use.

The deerskin is light and thin, and a brush made of wild boar bristles can be smashed into the crumbling deerskin, which can be pierced into dense small holes, which can be regarded as ventilating the deerskin. Wild boar bristles are recognized as the thinnest and hardest natural thing in the world, which is tough and elastic, and does not deform, and is used as a tool by Ding Qi as a piercing tool. The air sucked in by the carpenters is filtered by the wool to remove most of the powder, which can be regarded as protecting their bodies.

Or that sentence, what's most important? Talent!

Without the existence of craftsmen like Jing, Niu Er, Bai Shi, etc., the tribe would not have developed so fast. Ding Qi knew these things, but he did it alone, and Ma Yue didn't know if he could do it in the Year of the Monkey.
