Chapter 169: Nitrate Beast Skin

"I didn't fall, I'm tired of walking, Ah Jiu came back with me!" Xia Qiqi replied truthfully, not wanting Xia Duofu to worry.

Hearing this, Xia Duofu breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that you didn't fall!

"Hurry up and get inside, it's too cold outside!" Xia Duofu beckoned Xia Qiqi to go inside.

The first thing he did when he got home was to take out the black bear skin and deer skin, put them aside, and prepare the nitrate skin.

The door panel of the Zhuang family can be disassembled, Xia Qiqi set up the door panel with two benches, and spread the black bear skin on the board.

Use a spatula to remove the remaining fat and flesh from the black bear's skin, as well as feces.

The cleaning work is a technical job, and when Xia Qiqi does it, he is cautious, for fear of cutting a little bit of the animal skin board.

Lu Jiu and Xia Duofu stood by and watched.

Both were looking at human fur for the first time.

Lu Jiu is okay, he doesn't understand those doorways, Xia Duofu's eyes widened the whole time, and every time Xia Qiqi shovels down, his heart will beat a few times.

At first, he thought that the girl was joking, and when he saw her skillful movements, Xia Duofu really believed that she would be able to nitrate animal skins.

The first black bear skin was cleaned up, and Xia Qiqi hung the bear skin in his house.

Her house, originally a cowshed, was the best ventilation of any house.

Then it was to clean up the deer skin, the deer skin was easier to clean than the bear skin, and the bear skin was pierced by Lu Jiu with too many arrows and stabbed several times.

The bearskin is not complete at all.

Xia Qiqi spent a lot of time just cleaning up.

After the hides are cleaned, the next step is to wait for them to air dry, clean them and then soak them in salted water.

In ancient times, the technology of nitrate skin is relatively backward, and the process lasts for a long time, under normal circumstances, the nitrate time of a fur is generally about half a month to a month.

The only thing Xia Qiqi can do is wait.

Then, put the prepared nitrate water away, and take it out immediately when needed.

Xia Qiqi dried the fur, and Xia Duofu asked, "That's it?" ”

"Not yet! It is necessary to press the skin, clean it, and then soak it in nitrate, and there are many processes! Xia Qiqi explained.

Hearing this, Xia Duofu admired this girl more and more in his heart.

This is not a job that ordinary people can do.

"By the way, Dad, are you good at furniture? Do you need my help? Xia Qiqi asked.

"No, dad is fine anyway, grind slowly, and I will definitely be able to beat this set of furniture before the end of the construction period!" Chateau said.

"Then I don't care about anything else! I'm going to make dinner, and we'll eat shredded pork noodles in the evening! Xia Qiqi said.

"Cheng, then I'll move everything out and move the land for you, otherwise it's all sawdust, and it's not good to eat!"

There are few empty houses in the four rooms, and when he is not cooking during the day, Xia Duofu will cut wood and make furniture in the stove room.

In the evening, when it was time to cook, all the wood had to be moved out and continued to be made early in the morning.

The trouble is a little troublesome, but in the winter, there is no need to blow the cold wind outside.

For dinner, I promised Lu Jiu to make noodles.

Xia Qiqi washed his hands and began to knead his dough.

Lu Jiu didn't care about the injuries on his body, helped Xia Duofu carry the wood, move the tools, and bent over to get up, with no painful expression on his face.

Even, he did more work than Chardofo himself.

Looking at Lu Jiu, who was busy working up and down and was not lazy at all, Xia Duofu only felt ashamed.

He remembered that he had thought about driving people away because Lu Jiu had eaten so much.

Now that he is injured, they are still coming to help him with his work.

In this comparison, as soon as it came out, Xia Duofu himself felt that his face hurt.

He thought about it and decided to do something to compensate Lu Jiu.

He said to Xia Qiqi: "Qiqi, make more noodles for Ah Jiu at night, Dad doesn't eat it, save it for him!" ”

"Dad, what did you say! Ah Jiu, I'll take care of it, I don't need you to save your own rations! Besides, with your little bit of food, Ah Jiu won't be able to eat enough! Xia Qiqi said half-jokingly.

Xia Duofu laughed a few times and scratched his head, "That's what I said!" Then I'll find another way to compensate him! ”

"Compensation? What is the compensation? Xia Qiqi asked while kneading his dough.

"I said something very excessive before, and I even had to drive Ah Jiu away, but he didn't care at all, Dad felt guilty in his heart, and he couldn't help him!" Chardorf replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Xia Qiqi smiled, "Ah Jiu is not a person who holds grudges, and it will be done if my father doesn't say this in the future!" By the way, Dad, I kneaded a lot of noodles today, you go and call my sixth uncle and sister-in-law to come over and eat noodles together, just right, and taste the taste of venison. ”

A deer, Xia Qiqi didn't sell it at all, and he was eating it at home.

If you say anything, you have to call Xia Duogui and Xia Duoyue to come and try it.

"Done! I'll go! Xia Duofu said.

"There is also my Aunt Luo Juan and Aunt Zhao Lan's family, there are many of them, so I won't call them to come over to eat noodles, and the family will send two catties of venison!"

The four rooms have not been separated, and there is no vegetable field.

Mrs. Xia refused to let go, and asked the people in the fourth room to go to the vegetable field to pick vegetables.

If it weren't for Luo Juan and Zhao Lan sending some vegetables over from time to time, Sifang would have to spend money to buy even a root of vegetables.

"Alas, Dad will go to deliver meat first, and then call your sixth uncle, okay?" Xia Duofu said with a pleasant face.

"Done!"

Xia Qiqi nodded, and after speaking, he took a kitchen knife, went to his house, and cut about four catties of venison.

It's all thigh meat, and for Zhao Lan and Luo Juan's two families, Xia Qiqi is not stingy at all.

The cut meat, tied with a straw rope, and then handed to Xia Duofu.

After taking the meat, Xia Duofu did not leave immediately, but stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, then his face was slightly red, and asked Xia Qiqi, "Qiqi, your Aunt Luo Juan and Aunt Zhao Lan's family have sent meat...... Your milk is over there, if you don't send it, will it not be good? ”

"What's so bad? This venison didn't fall from the sky! It's good for our family, I don't eat it myself, I'll give it to her!

It's not good for me, even if it's a deer hair, don't even think about eating half of my meat, I just throw it away, throw it away, and don't give it to her! ”

Xia Qiqi didn't have half a point to condone Xia Duofu's good intentions to the old Xia family's group of jackals.

Xia Duofu is a relative of the old woman, she is not deserved!

I want to eat the venison in her hand, in the next life!

Xia Duofu nodded imperceptibly, then took the venison and walked to Luo Juan and Zhao Lan's house.

When he went, Luo Juan's family still had others, so the news that he sent venison to the two families was suddenly spread by the villagers.

Even, it reached the ears of Mrs. Xia and the rest of the old Xia family.

Everyone thinks that even Luo Juan and Zhao Lan, two outsiders, have venison, and they will definitely not be less.

Therefore, almost the entire Lao Xia family is waiting.

Zhang directly refused to cook dinner, saying that he would wait for the venison to come and make it together.
