Chapter 30 Making Fishing Tackle
Time is of the essence, and it is time to act.
Fengyun stood up, walked out of the house, turned a corner, entered the storage room, and began to rummage.
What he was looking for was bones, bones to make fish hooks.
He is not lacking in bones.
During this time, the bones of the brute beasts that were violently killed were placed in the storage room.
Animal bones, especially those of brute beasts, are a very important resource in the tribe.
People can use them to make many kinds of tools, such as knives, arrowheads, spearheads, hoes, ...... Very versatile.
The bones of brutes are very strong, and if they are of high enough rank, they can even pierce stones with knives and spears.
After some searching, Fengyun had a harvest, it was a white bone two palms wide, longer than his body, dense and delicate, not like a bone, but like jade.
This bone did not belong to the brute beast that was killed violently, it was picked up by him from the outside.
Brutes will also fight each other, and the losers will be eaten, but eventually some remains will be left behind, such as bones.
When hunters go out hunting, they will pick up good bones when they come across, and sometimes, the meat of the beasts exchanged is even more than the harvest of the hunting itself.
When he gave it to him, he told him that when he had time, he would help him polish it into a long knife, and told him not to exchange it.
According to his experience, it should belong to some kind of high-level brute beast, which is very rare.
Fengyun didn't think about ruining it.
Although the hook is very important to his fishing plan, a good weapon can save his life, and he can still tell which is more important.
He would choose it because it was flawed, it had a very obvious crack at one end, about half a foot long, which also needed to be removed when sharpened into a knife.
He plans to use this small piece to make a fishing hook.
He walked out with the white bones, heavy.
When he reached the door, he turned back and took another piece of animal bone.
The bones of high-level brute beasts are very precious, even if it is a piece of leftovers, he is reluctant to waste it, and is ready to use the bones of primary brute beasts to practice his hands first.
Back in the room, he first put two bones on the stone table, then walked to the corner of the wall, grabbed a stone, and slowly pulled it out, and a black hole immediately appeared in the wall.
He put his hand into the hole, and by the time he pulled it out, he had an extra short knife in his hand, the same one that had been given to him.
Primitive people are relatively simple and rarely steal other people's things, but the knife made of the teeth of the king beast is too precious, and it is difficult to guarantee that someone will not be tempted.
If it was stolen, he would regret it.
Pulling the dagger out of its sheath, he first slashed at the rudimentary brute bone.
It was easy, he didn't feel any resistance, and his bones became two.
Fengyun nodded, he was very satisfied.
He took the high-grade brute bone, aimed the blade at the rift, and sliced it.
This time he clearly felt the resistance, but it wasn't too much, and he exerted about three points of force to cut it off.
He had a new understanding of the sharpness of the short knife in his hand, and the bones of high-level brute beasts could be easily cut, far sharper than he had imagined.
Fengyun began to practice with the primary brute bones, but the result made him very dissatisfied.
The king beast tooth knife is very easy to use, which does not mean that he can easily make qualified fish hooks, either the shape is not good, or some places are thick and some places are too thin.
As for the barbs he wanted to make, he didn't even have to think about it.
Soon, a third of the rudimentary brute bone was destroyed by him, but he didn't get out of a single hook that barely satisfied him.
Fengyun placed the King Beast Tooth Knife on the table and took a deep breath.
He realized that something was wrong with his mindset and that he was in too much of a hurry.
Close your eyes and clear your mind of distractions.
When the heart stopped like water, Fengyun slowly opened his eyes.
The eyes are calm and deep, like two bottomless deep pools.
Picked up the king beast tooth knife and cut it on the bone of the primary brute beast, the knife momentum was like flowing water, without the slightest delay, there was actually a pleasing feeling.
In less than five minutes, Fengyun calmly retracted his knife, and many fish hooks were already neatly placed on the table, with a total of more than twenty.
These hooks still have imperfections, poor shape, different thicknesses, and barbs that are too large or too small...... All of these are the case.
But Fengyun still seemed satisfied.
If you're not too demanding, these hooks are pretty good, at least they can be used.
The most important thing is that he still has room for improvement, as long as he practices more, he can definitely do better.
After practicing for a while, half of the sun had sunk behind the distant mountains, and Fengyun stopped practicing.
Cleaning up the table, he put the king beast tooth knife back into the wall, walked into the kitchen, and began to get busy.
By the time twilight began to cover the earth and the stars began to appear in the sky, the storm finally returned.
Also coming back with him was Lei, who picked up several pieces of fresh meat, each of which was not small, adding up to five or six hundred catties.
Fengyun knew that these brute beast meat should have been specially prepared for him.
A warm current welled up in his heart.
While making all kinds of preparations for his special training, Tyrant also had to go hunting, and it was really not easy to supply him with enough brute beast meat.
"Uncle Tyrant, thank you. ”
"There's something to thank you and me for. I heard Lei Boy say that you have come up with a new way to eat, what is it called hot pot, very good. What the hell is it? Take it out and show me. ”
Storm didn't know if he didn't feel Fengyun's emotional change, or if he didn't want to dwell on it, and when he saw him, he shouted loudly.
"Uncle Tyrant, you wash your hands, I'll get it for you. ”
He poured some water from the clay pot and began to wash his hands and face, and Ray put the meat in the storage room and came over to wash it.
Storm and Thunder didn't have the habit of washing their hands before eating, these were the result of Fengyun's deliberate request, and over time, they got used to it.
"Well, yes, yes...... That's good. This hot pot is so good, so cool. ”
Storm kept stuffing the red slices of meat into his mouth, and praised him repeatedly.
"Uncle Tyrant, if you think it's good, eat some. ”
"Yun boy, don't worry, I won't be polite to you. Go cut some of today's meat. It was the meat of a spotted deer, it was very delicious, and it didn't taste good if it was left out for a long time. ”
Although the meat of brute beasts is relatively resistant to storage, even in the hot summer, it can be kept for a long time without rotting, like high-grade brute beasts, it can even be stored for a month or two, but the taste will deteriorate.
"I'll go. ”
Fengyun walked into the storage room, directly lifted a piece of meat, which was dozens of catties, cleaned off the blood, cut it into thin slices, and filled two large basins.
The meat of deer brute beasts is indeed not comparable to the meat of ordinary brute beasts, tender and juicy, elastic but not tough, smooth and smooth.
The three of them ate vigorously, and ate two large pots of speckled venison.
During this time, Fengyun added two more bases.
Compared to Thunder, Storm seems to have a strong penchant for spicy flavors.
The first time I ate it, not only was it not too spicy, but it was addictive.
After eating a meal for almost two hours, he went to rest contentedly.
After helping Fengyun clean up, Ray also left.
Fengyun did not sleep.
After eating speckled venison, my whole body was hot and hot, and I was full of energy, and I didn't feel sleepy at all.
He took out the brute beast bone and continued to practice, striving to carve a fish hook from the high-grade brute beast bone as soon as possible.
When he had used up an entire rudimentary brute bone, Fengyun finally gained confidence in his craft.
The level of control power is higher, and it is much easier to control the direction of the blade, especially after mastering some of the essentials, it is not so difficult to carve a fishhook.
The carving of the high-level brute beast bone was much more difficult, and it took three or four hours to turn that piece into a fish hook.
Fengyun estimated that it should be more than twelve o'clock, and he decided to rest.
In order not to waste good materials, in the process of carving, his attention is highly concentrated, and his mental consumption is a little large.
The body is not tired, but the head is a little heavy.
When I woke up, the sky had just begun to brighten, and the wind and clouds were up, and the whole person was already in good spirits.
His resilience has become very strong, and after a short rest, he can fully recover.
After sending away the storm and thunder, Fengyun finished the hook, especially the barbed part, which must be done well, which can greatly increase the chance of success in fishing.
Now that the hook is in place, it's time for the line.
Finding the right line is not easy, it must not be too thick and strong enough.
Fengyun is confident about this.
When he was looking for spices with Bei, he found a kind of rattan that was very strong, even a very thin one, it was difficult to break, and its color was black, so he simply gave it a name - iron thread vine.
After research, he found that the key to the fact that clematis will be so strong is its skin, which is very tough.
So he picked a lot and prepared to rub the rope for it.
Fengyun walked to a pond, picked up a stick, fished in it, and soon scooped up bunches of slightly transparent, silk-like things.
Their predecessor was the skin of clemat vine.
After soaking in water for a while, its surface layer falls off, and what remains is its fibers.
Fengyun scrubbed the wire rattan fibers, rinsed them with clean water, found a clean open space, and began to twist.
It is not very easy to twist the wire rattan fiber into the fishing line he wants, but fortunately, the wire rattan fiber is very long, the longest is even more than ten zhang, as long as a few strands are twisted together, there is no need to consider the joint.
Later, Bamboo came to him and reported to him that he had shown the timer to Wu and consulted Wu about his proposed plan to tell the time.
Wu is very supportive of Fengyun's plan, but it will take some time to prepare.
Fengyun left the bamboo behind and asked him to help him twist the fishing line.
With the help of someone, he no longer has to run back and forth, the progress is much faster, and by the time the sun is up, he already has ten fishing lines, some thick and some thin.
He tried the strength of each one, and it was very good, according to his estimate, the thinnest one could directly lift a big fish of about ten catties.
Fengyun didn't let Zhu leave, and asked him to go back with him for lunch.
In the afternoon, he was also ready to twist some thin threads and needed his help, this time for the fish card.
