After the two of them pasted the top, Chen Chao let One-Eye go up first, and began to paste the bottom by himself.

After pasting the underneath, leave a few palm-sized gaps around the ground.

There was no need for Chen Chao to speak, Wu had already held the torch next to him for a long time, the firelight was reflected on Wu's side face, his pupils were also a little nervous, and the hands holding the torch were sweating slightly.

After handing the torch to Chen Chao, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if he had completed an important matter.

Chen Chao bent down and brought the torches into the few gaps left before, and lit them in turn. After waiting for a while, after making sure that the fire would not be extinguished, he covered the gaps with thin mud, and then found a small branch, left a few vents, and then went to dinner.

After dinner, One-Eyed gestured and asked how long it would take to get better. After all, the last time he remembered, it seemed that a little longer than a meal would be better.

Chen Chao pointed to the moon in the sky, stretched out three more fingers, and then said, "It won't be good until it appears at dawn of the third month." ”

One-Eye was lost and left, but after a while, he came back again, and he couldn't wait to see it three or five times an hour, and he didn't know if he slept or not in one night, anyway, the two old men who took turns keeping vigil couldn't remember how many times they had seen him.

The hunting party went out for three days in a row, and there was a harvest every day, and today everyone rested in the tribe, but half of the women of the gathering team still set off to the chestnut forest, and picked up several boxes of chestnuts and came back to store.

When they passed by the rabbit forest, they also brought back the rabbits that were crushed by the stone slabs, and added 20 new rabbits to the tribe, but they only collected prey, and they had not learned how to recover the traps, and they tried several times, but they gave up without success.

Although it will take three days to know the effect, but today is about to start the nitrate of the lynx skin, so I still have to ask Wu to bring the broken clay pot over, so that there can be a sharp pottery knife.

I don't know how the tribe used to deal with animal fur, but when they kill fish, they always look for a sharper stone chip on the ground.

The tribe has stone knives, but they are mainly used to cut larger meats, and they are also relatively dull.

Looking at Wu who brought the clay pot back to the cave, Chen Chao pinched his eyebrows, feeling that Wu was really like an old man who was reluctant to lose anything when he was old.

Just when Chen Chao was lying on the haystack after waking up and pondering what to do with the lynx skin, he heard from outside the cave from time to time, "Chirp... Haw... Smack".

When he came out of the cave, in addition to the children who were pulling the straw ropes, there was already an elderly woman who was already carrying other women to rub the fat on the lynx skin on the stone slab, and he gestured and asked, "Do you need to do anything else?" ”

The elderly woman shook her head, she looked at Chen Chao suspiciously, as if asking, do you need to do anything else?

At this moment, Yuan also walked over, Chen Chao pointed to the lynx skin, and said, "Yuan, don't you deal with the animal skin after you get it?" It is to deal with mature skins. ”

Yuan also shook his head, does the animal skin still need to be disposed of? Wouldn't it be nice to get rid of the meat and oil on the top?

Chen Chao pointed to the animal skin on Yuan's body again, some places have cracked, and Yuan is the leader of the tribe, the freshness of the skin he can use is definitely second only to Wu's, obviously the skin not long ago, but now it has become like this, it is estimated that more cracks will be opened after a while.

And it's hard and smelly, even if you smell it every day, this thing stinks and stinks...

He gestured again and said, although the communication with the people of the hunting team and the witches has been much smoother, and they can already understand a lot of daily words and phrases, but the popularization of the language is not a day's work, and if it is too complicated, it still needs to be assisted by gestures.

"After processing mature skin, it will be much more durable, soft to the touch, will not crack in a short time, and the hair on the top will not fall off for a long time. You won't be worried. Chen Chao put down the hand that pretended to cover his nose, this gesture is very generic, and Yuan is the person who mainly uses this animal skin, can he not know that his body stinks.

But what can I do about it, the skin will stink forever, it will crack and lose hair... Those women, children, and old people, if they want to wear stinky animal skins, they don't have to wear them...

Although Yuan was a little uncomfortable in his heart, if he could make the animal skin more comfortable to wear and use it for a longer time, he was still willing to deal with the animal skin according to Chen Chao's method, a leader, this kind of mind is still there.

And the animal skin they wore stinked, which was originally a fact, and at this time, there were not so many twists and turns.

"What should I do?" Yuan asked.

Chen Chao thought for a while, what he wanted to express should be how to deal with mature skin, fortunately he had been thinking about this for a long time, modern nitrate is indeed very complicated, and it requires a lot of chemicals.

Many people may not know about these chemicals and don't have much contact with them, but if you go back to the beginning, the first person to find that the skin will get better when treated like this is definitely not because of the use of these chemicals.

Of course, there were no such chemicals at that time...

In fact, the most earthy and earthy nitrate method is still very simple, outrageously simple. All you need is a handful of ashes and a pool of warm water.

It should have been something as simple as this in the beginning, otherwise it wouldn't have been discovered and passed down.

However, to get to this point, you still need to remove the minced meat fat and dirt from the lynx skin, and then put it in the sun to pop and dry it for a few days.

The straw rope that was braided earlier came in handy, and two thick sticks were inserted into the soil and tied to the straw rope to make a simple drying rack.

Chen Chao instructed the women of the collection team to collect some long grass next time to dry, so that next time you can weave more straw ropes, and you can also use it to make straw shoes.

For a while, the mouth of the tribe's cave and the small river were full of dried skins, which couldn't help but make Chen Chao think of the leather characters, and took this opportunity to learn a few more words from the tribe.

"Nitrate, leather, fur."

Chen Chao also took a wooden stick and wrote a big leather character on the ground, and explained to Wu and the children, "You see, this looks like an animal skin that has been cut off." The round object in the middle is the skin of the beast that has been peeled off, and the rest is the head, body, and tail of the beast. ”

The children were fine, and Wu was in the spotlight, and he took the small branch to make a gesture, and raised his head to look at the animal skins hanging on the straw rope to dry.
