Chapter 487: Don't Regret It
Peeling is not too troublesome and goes smoothly, but with the current weather, it is impossible to process it in time, so it is necessary to do a good job of pre-treatment to prevent the skin from deteriorating.
The first step is to peel off the remaining flesh and fat from the skin, and then wash away the sediment, feces, blood and other dirt that sticks to the skin with clean water.
The first thing to deal with is the fox skin.
Hang the end of the fox's nose on a nail with the fur facing inward, and put it on a smooth, round wooden last, and then use an oil scraper to scrape the oil from back to front.
In principle, it is necessary to shave off the residual flesh and subcutaneous fat without damaging the fur, and rub your fingers from time to time to prevent the oil from staining the coat.
Ji Yu watched from the side for a while, and found that it was actually quite simple, so she got started directly.
If there is something wrong, Guan Shan will remind him.
For example, the knife should be held smoothly, the force should be even, and the head to the buttocks should be scraped to reduce the disability of the skin plate, etc.
But after all, she is a raw hand, so she mainly deals with the central area, and when it comes to the parts of the limbs, tail edge, and head that are difficult to shave fat, Guan Shan takes over.
Finally, the powder made of coarse salt is rubbed on the skin to remove the remaining oil.
Although it is wasteful, think about the value of the skin, in case it is not handled properly, it is a real waste.
The two cooperated with each other and quickly cleaned up the fox fur.
The peeling and cleaning of mink is generally no different from fox fur, and the trouble lies in the next step of "piercing the knife".
It is to cut a piece of mink into strips the width of a little finger and then stitch it together. The stitching requirements are particularly fine, even finer than the stitches of the embroidery.
The reason for this is to make the leather larger, and the second is to make the processed leather garment have a natural sense of drape and movement.
Otherwise, directly sewing with a whole mink will not only have an ugly effect, but also be prone to wrinkles.
This step is boring and long, so Ji Yu told Guan Shan jokes.
What she told was obviously a normal joke, but Guan Shan's reaction made her think that she was telling a bad joke for a while.
Every time Ji Yu finished speaking, she stared at him and asked, "Can't you give a reaction?" ”
He nodded, "That's a good point." ”
That's a good point...... Forget it, let's get to work.
It took almost twice as long for the mink to be cleaned.
Cleaning the fresh skin is just the basics, and then it is hung in a ventilated place or in weak sunlight to dry until it is dry, then it is stacked and flattened with something like a wooden board, and then it continues to dry until it is dry.
After the rawhide is dried, the leather is stiff, easy to mildew, odorous, can not be stored for a long time, and is not beautiful, and it must go through the most critical step - tanning.
Tanning is a technical work, which is often referred to as "nitrate".
The more common method is to soak the grass ash in water, and then "burn" the sun-dried skin and then dry it in the shade, so that the skin will become soft and elastic, and the hair will be more stable and not easy to fall off on the skin.
This step is not over, there are still a series of processes such as fatting, rejuvenation, squeeping, shaping and hairing are waiting.
Finally, it is necessary to carry out antiseptic treatment.
Let's put it this way, if these things weren't hunted by Guan Shan, Ji Yu would rather buy them with a lot of pain than bother with it.
But then again, it's expensive, and the quality is definitely not that good.
I don't know whether it is Guanshan who is good at hunting, or Daguanshan who gathers the spirit of heaven and earth, and each one is extraordinary.
So it's hard work.
Guan Shan first picked up a few ropes in the house, and then went to the backyard to find a round bamboo tube, split it into bamboo pieces, and then used bamboo pieces to stretch the skin and hang it on the rope.
It's a snowy day right now, and you can't see the sun, but you have to prevent freezing, and you don't know when the drying step will be completed.
Unknowingly, I was busy until noon.
Guan Shan stayed to clean up the house, and Ji Yu went to the stove room to wash her hands.
As soon as I came out of the stove room, I heard a thud from the Westinghouse.
She was stunned for a moment, and hurried into the hall.
When I opened the door, I saw Dabao lying on the ground with one hand covering his forehead.
Ji Yu didn't have time to think about it, so she hugged Dabao to the kang and pulled away the hand he was holding his forehead, and his eyes were bright red.
Look at the little gentleman standing not far away, holding his chin, what else don't you understand.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger - the injuries mattered, and now was not the time to settle accounts.
The forehead hit the corner of the desk, and there was a small gap, but fortunately it was not deep, so I went to the east house to get the medicine box, and the medicine was applied, and it didn't take long for the bleeding to stop.
From the time Ji Yu came in, Di Rong tensed his nerves.
But she ignored herself at all, and didn't even look at him with the medicine box and passed by him, only the big treasure in her eyes.
Looking at her worried appearance when she gave Dabao the medicine, as well as the comfort of her soft voice, Di Rong felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and couldn't help but ridicule each other.
"Blind nervous about what? I can't die. ”
Ji Yu had just wrapped the gauze, and when she heard this, she suddenly turned around.
Di Rong was frightened by her gaze and unconsciously stepped back.
"Master, I warn you, you, if you dare to hit me again......"
Ji Yu cut off his words, pointed to the door, and only said one word, "Get out." ”
Di Rong was stunned, and then shouted, "You drive me away?" Why! ”
"This is my house, do you need a reason to drive you away?"
Di Rong came up strongly, "I won't leave!" Isn't it because I pushed him? Why don't you ask me why I pushed him? ”
"I found that you are not only ungrateful, but also wolf-hearted, not only has no one taught you the rules, but no one has taught you to be a man.
Think that the whole world is your father and mother, and everything must follow you and respond to your needs? Wake up.
As I said earlier, you are nothing without the name of Bofu, from Wanfu, and without your doglegs. ”
Ji Yu looked at him with a cold and contemptuous look.
"Also, I don't need to ask anything, it's a fact that you hurt him, get out of here now, and don't let me see you again in the future."
You are nothing without Bofu - these words are like a knife, directly poking at the secret hidden in Di Rong's heart.
And in Ji Yu's last sentence, the trust and maintenance of Dabao, and the contempt and expulsion of him, are like poison on the edge of a knife.
Let him really turn from anger to hatred.
"Okay, I'll go! You don't regret it! ”
Leaving this sentence, he pulled his legs and ran out.
Ji Yu didn't care about her, turned around and sat down on the edge of the kang, and checked the bandaged wound again.
Dabao lay there, looking at her silently.
Ji Yu thought about it, and still asked, "Dabao, why did he push you." ”
Dabao lowered his eyelids and shook his head.
Ji Yu also felt that she was asking too much, it was common for Xiao Yu to push people and beat others, do you need a reason?
"You lie down for a while, and I'll cook for you."
After Ji Yu went out, Dabao turned his head to look at the place where he had just fallen, his eyes flashing slightly.
