Chapter 153: Nitrate Hides

In the end, after eating and drinking, the five tribes agreed to gather together again in the warm spring, and jointly sent troops to conquer the Shenlong tribe, and each returned to his tribe with his people

Huluo also brought more than 100 clansmen with him this time, after all, he didn't know about the Mu tribe before, so he had to be careful

Turning his head to look in the direction of the Mu tribe, his kind face became very treacherous at this time

After eight days, the people of the shape tribe who were so cold that their faces turned blue finally returned to their tribe, if they were calculated according to the direction, a little west above the dragon tribe, that is, near Wanrong County, Shanxi Province in later generations, the distance in a straight line was about sixty kilometers, and at the speed of humans in the jungle in this era, at most it was about twelve, which was actually not far

The reason why the shape tribe is shaped is that they are good at writing with simple graphics, but they have not developed to the point of hieroglyphs, but they are far more advanced than the records of knotted grass and masonry

The first thing he did after he arrived at the tribe was to ask if the people who were sent out to find the Shenlong tribe had returned, and when he learned that he had not returned, he gritted his teeth and decided to let all the active tribesmen go out hunting and store as much food as possible, and after five days, only more than 30 strong tribesmen were left to take care of the tribe, leading more than 430 people, bringing frozen pieces of meat like stones, and even embarking on the journey of attacking the Shenlong tribe against the cold wind that was cold to the bone marrow

He didn't dare to wait, after all, other tribes couldn't be fools, they would definitely send someone to find out the specific location of the Shenlong tribe first, and maybe even someone would pay the same attention as him, and Wu Shu also told him that the number of people in that tribe was not much, that is, about half of the number of people in his tribe, which was also the confidence for him to dare to attack alone, even if some clansmen would freeze to death on the way, but he still firmly believed that he could win, and when the time came, he would kill the leader and messenger of the Shenlong tribe, not only from his tribe, The lost population can also be replenished, so it is worth the risk

If normally, the idea of protecting the fall was not wrong, but the mistake was that the concealment of the Wushu made him seriously underestimate the strength of the Shenlong tribe, and when he found out, he had already regretted it too late

At this time, Wang Yuan, did not expect that there would be a stupid lack because of greed, and dared to attack the Shenlong tribe in the winter of lack of food and clothing, at this time it simply became everyone's lady, that is, the door is not out, the second door is not stepping, just shrunk on the kang of the house, dead or alive do not go out of the inner room, the animal skin curtains were also fixed by him, no matter day or night, the house needs to light up the oil lamp every day, it is simply extravagant, but fortunately, the animal oil stored in the tribe is not small, otherwise he would have been beaten to death by a stick if he was so squandering

Gongsun Xuanyuan opened the curtain, almost smoked by the extremely strong smell of animal oil in the house, his stomach kept churning, he turned his head and ran out again, constantly retching, Wang Yuan, who was shrunk on the kang, saw this scene, scratched his face with some embarrassment, this smell, is it so strong?

Finally, Gongsun Xuanyuan walked into the house with great perseverance, opened the animal skin by the dim light, pointed to a few words and asked what to read, and Wang Yuan looked at it carefully, and after telling him, Gongsun Xuanyuan quickly picked up the animal skin and ran out, and when he got to the outside of the house, he gasped for breath, damn, he almost suffocated him to death just now

At this time, Nuwa walked back with the fish, and saw Gongsun Xuanyuan, who had an ugly face, and was a little puzzled

"Young clan leader, what's wrong?"

Gongsun Xuanyuan looked at Nuwa, the corners of his mouth twitched, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and asked with a wry smile

"Nuwa, can't you just put the smell of the house away? That tastes too, too. ∪ pineapple Ψ Ψ small ∪ said. Can you stand it with the rabbit? ”

These words immediately made Nuwa's face red, and after glancing at her house, she sighed and said

"Fate said cold, I was not allowed to open the beast curtain, and now I and Mao Rabbit are living in Wu, and the family lives alone"

Hearing this, Gongsun Xuanyuan suddenly realized, God, the concubine and the young concubine let Wang Yuan run away, but he would rather live alone than let the smell in the room, how afraid of the cold are you, then shook his head, and turned away helplessly, he decided, unless he really can't remember what a certain word is called, he will never step into Wang Yuan's house again, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be killed by others, and will be smoked to death in Wang Yuan's house

But Wang Yuan's heart is bitter, and he doesn't want to keep the empty room alone, but it's so cold, this heavy snow, even the winter solstice has not arrived, let alone the small cold and the big cold, this has to be more than ten degrees below zero, and there is no down jacket, no quilt, only a little fluffy animal skin, and the Bang Bang is hard when he goes out, like a knife edge, and the scraped flesh hurts, he really can't stand it!

"How do you soften the fur?"

Wang Yuan thought hard, he seemed to have seen this record, so he tried to find the dusty memory

"It's as if animal blood and brains can be used to revitalize animal skins, which are then smoked with salt and finally rubbed with plant ash and earth."

Finally, with the dry animal skin, Wang Yuan's eyes lit up, and finally remembered this kind of technology that seems to be called oil tanning method and smoking method, after all, he doesn't have nitrate, there is no way to use this to nitrate, these are the two easiest methods, he has animal oil, he doesn't need to use animal meat, just smear it and whip it, and then smoke it, smear it with plant ash and rub it back and forth

"Hey, brother is smart!"

Wang Yuan couldn't help but praise himself, and immediately got up, jumped off the kang, put on an animal skin coat that can be called armor, and ran out in a hurry, provoking Nuwa, who was giving Wang Yuan fish stew, shook her head helplessly

"Primitive, primitive, come out and follow me to the warehouse, huh? Yang Yuhuan and Shan are also there, just right, you go and call some clansmen to help"

After speaking, he ran away with a puzzled face, leaving Yang Yuhuan, who was learning Chinese characters with the primitive, and Shan Mian looked at each other, shook his head and went down to the kang to call the clansmen to help Wang Yuan

When he arrived at the warehouse, Wang Yuan asked the clansmen who came to help to carry a few jars of solidified animal oil to heat and melt, while he and the remaining few clansmen carried out pieces of frozen animal skins and spread them on the ground, and after the animal oil melted slightly, he directly wiped them on the animal skins with his hands

Seeing this scene, the primitive old man, who was still puzzled, suddenly laughed

"Oracle? Do you want to make these hides soft? What is it for? ”

Wang Yuan was stunned, huh? How do primordials know what they're going to do?

"How do you know?"

When the primordial and others heard this, they couldn't help laughing, how could they not know, because they were originally so thick

After listening to the original explanation, Wang Yuan was stunned, what, it turned out that the animal skin he used had been oil-tanned? This embarrassed him, he hadn't even found out for so long, why was it so hard?

"Are you smoking?"

Smoky? What's that? Primitive and others were dumbfounded

Seeing this scene, Wang Yuan suddenly shuddered, cut, only oil tanning, no wonder it is still so hard, so he explained what smoke is, after smoking, it has to be sprinkled on the animal skin with grass ash and mud to degreas, in order to be really soft, which made the primitive and others suddenly look at Wang Yuan with admiration, the divine envoy is a cow, and even understands this!

So, everyone re-tanned, hard with sticks to beat, and the other side brought firewood to burn the fire, and then the initial softness of the animal skin tightened on it with the fire back and forth, to be roasted back and forth with the oil, after the roast oil, everyone sprinkled the plant ash evenly on it, the ground has been frozen, there is no soil, Wang Yuan decided not to sprinkle, everyone worked hard with plant ash rubbing, the dry is in full swing, so that the front of the warehouse is dusty, everyone is gray and white plant ash

Later, because of the movement, the more idle people in the tribe came, and Gongsun Xuanyuan also came with his ancestor, and he looked at it with a puzzled face, and he became the king of the earth monkey, what is this for? As for Wang Yuan, he touched a fur that had been initially nitrated once and became extremely soft, grinning and smirking there, from now on, he could have soft fur to use, and he no longer had to wear or cover those hard and broken things!

And the primitive smiled and explained to the people, the divine envoy taught them how to make a fur that would be extremely soft even in winter, and even took another one full of plant ash, but more soft fur for everyone to experience, so that everyone looked at Wang Yuan more and more adoringly, the divine envoy is the divine envoy, and he understands everything!

As for Gongsun Xuanyuan, after stepping forward and touching it, he turned his head to look at Wang Yuan, his face became more and more solemn, how many talents did this person have not shown in front of his eyes, he found that the more he understood Wang Yuan, the more he felt that this person was unfathomable, and even, let him start to have some ...... in his heart afraid
