The harvest on the ice continues.

Saliel is better at cutting than Lawrence, and most of the moose's meat and bones are obtained by Salil.

It's not that the technology is good, it's the strength.

After all, cutting meat is not about cutting tofu and writing, and it is really important to have a lot of strength to cut meat and pick meat in this kind of ice and snow.

If the strength is the same as that of ordinary people, the efficiency of planing will be reduced to more than half of the original.

Saril pulled a stick of animal bone out of the leather bag with great force, and then touched the collapsed animal skin with a look of joy.

She used a hammer and a stone to make a hole in the shallow ice in the moose's belly, digging out the almost frozen hooves out of the icy water.

"Lawrence, you're so good, we have another mattress that can cover three people!"

Lawrence praised: "You're still better!" ”

Sophia couldn't carry that much on her own, so Lawrence and Saliel led the sheep and brought back the moose's bones, fur and head in two separate parts.

During this time, Lawrence had been waiting for the crow, but the crow seemed to have a rather simple and primitive sense of value, and did not come back after getting a intestine the size of its body.

Lawrence's intention was to leave some intestines and the skin of his belly covered with black spots of parasites on the ice, a gift to the mountain elves according to local rules, so that the hungry beasts and birds in the vicinity could also fill their stomachs.

There must be carnivores nearby, but hopefully they won't follow the trail of blood to the stone house.

Lawrence wasn't as excited as Sophia and Sariel.

Although it was true that today was a fruitful day, looking at the bloodstains on the road, Lawrence needed to think about more things.

"This moose is enough for us to eat until spring, and the main thing to do next is to practice my archery skills and protect my trophies under the watchful eye of rats and some animal thieves."

Lawrence got home and looked at the plate full of flesh and bones, and then at the pieces of meat in the room.

Sophia said excitedly: "Master, our basins and buckets are not enough, where can we put so much meat?" ”

"Keep it in the house, and if you put it outside, it will be eaten by wild beasts!" ”

Sophia looked scared, "Are there any beasts out there?" ”

Salil nodded and said, "Of course there is, but those bad things are afraid of us, and they only sneak out at night, like rats." ”

Lawrence suddenly discovered that savages like Andrew and Saliel had almost no natural predators in such a mountainous area.

The bears will not take the initiative to trouble them, and the barbarians of the nearby mountains and forests will gather to take the initiative to trouble the big bears.

Wild boars also avoid these barbarians, and it may be that generations of barbarians have given these wild boars very bad memories.

As for foxes and wolves, it will be dangerous if they are alone, but when there are too many people, they generally do not take the initiative to approach.

Even if they are close, they give priority to poaching cattle and sheep, and do not treat dangerous humans as easy prey.

Most of the humans here in the north are actually very strong......

Lawrence soon discovered a fact.

Is it me who is weak?!

Cowards like Seravin are in the minority of the North, and most of the Barbarians in the North are of the Friesian type, and even women are as fearless as Emma is in the fight.

In this extreme environment in the North, Emma and Frieson are normal barbarians, and Andrew and Doug are the leaders of the group.

And Seravon, who is afraid of fighting, is like himself and belongs to the low-level barbarians who worry about wild beasts all day long and will be afraid when they encounter wild beasts, and this part is usually slave labor.

Wisdom and scheming, balance of power and scheming, and the like can certainly flourish in the civil aristocratic society, but in the territory of the barbarians, these are vulnerable.

No amount of truth is as useful as fists, and too much nonsense will make others look down on you.

"I killed a moose today." Lawrence said calmly, "Look at this moose, I guess it must weigh as much as three Friesians!" ”

Saliel looked at Lawrence suspiciously, "Did you pick it up?" ”

Lawrence shook his head, "No, he fell into my trap, so I killed him too." ”

When Sariel heard this, she felt that it made sense, "Yes, it does. ”

Lawrence reminded, "Tomorrow we will give Emma some meat in exchange for food, and it will be very uncomfortable to eat meat alone." ”

Sariel thought it was good and agreed, "Good! ”

Lawrence added, "We'll give the moose skin to Emma, and she can help us make a mattress." ”

Sariel looked at Lawrence, "We can do that too, why give it to Emma?" ”

Lawrence explained, "I'm going to practice my bow and arrow, I'm going to check the neighborhood, you and Sophia have to take care of the sheep, and we're going to collect wood, and if I give it to Emma, it saves us a lot of things." ”

"And in the winter, the women of Phumixiu are also very idle, let them help us make the leather, and we give some venison, so that everyone will be good."

If it is another barbarian, he will only think that he can also make leather, and he does not need to leave things to others to do, and waste venison.

Sariel is different, she often asks Emma to help with things, so compared to the rest of the barbarian women, her thinking and intelligence can be called wise.

"That's good!" Sariel supported Lawrence's proposal.

Sophia naturally supported it, and it was quickly decided that part of the venison would be used.

The three of them quickly ate first, and three meals a day were essential, and only by having a full stomach could they have the strength to work and resist the cold and various diseases.

Lawrence was examining his bow and arrows while cooking.

Saril cut off a piece of frozen flesh and used a knife to cut a small piece of flesh with white fat and lean flesh and handed it to Sophia.

Sophia looked at Sariel curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Salyl said, "Here you go." ”

"Good!" Sophia quickly grabbed the small piece of meat in her small hand and put the cold piece of meat in her mouth.

When Lawrence saw it, he said, "Sariel, don't eat raw meat in the future, the meat must be cooked before eating." ”

Salil said nonchalantly, "The venison in winter is very fresh, so it's okay to eat a little." ”

Lawrence also knows this, eating raw meat is the habit of most people here, and although everyone also eats grilled and boiled meat, they often eat raw and cold animal meat and fish like a snack.

The average life expectancy of barbarians in the North is very low, although I don't know how low, but from the various habits that Lawrence learned, it is not that high.

Lawrence looked at Sophia, thinking that Sophia would not eat raw meat, so he didn't specifically say this kind of thing before.

But if you think about it, the Southern Kingdom before Sophia didn't look like a multi-civilized region either.

The barbarians in the north have long since escaped the era of Ru Mao drinking blood, and have learned the use of fire and iron tools early, but they are still a group of barbarians, and it will take two or three thousand years to advance to the era of civilization!

"Sophia, you are not allowed to eat raw meat in the future, and it is the same for Sariel, who can only eat cooked meat in this family."

Sophia nodded quickly, no opinion.

Sariel looked at Lawrence unhappily, "Why?" ”

Lawrence did not explain to her the scientific knowledge of parasites and other scientific knowledge, but solemnly said: "Listen to me here!" ”

Sophia quickly said, "Sariel, do you like to eat raw meat?" I like to eat cooked and grilled meat, which makes it tastier. ”

Instead of looking at Lawrence, Sariel said to Sophia, "I also like to eat roast and broth." ”

Lawrence put down his bow and arrow and walked to the fire and said, "Raw meat is not as good as cooked meat, we can find a way to make the broth and roast meat more delicious, but we are not allowed to steal raw meat in the future!" ”

When Sariel saw Lawrence say this, she nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"Me too!" Sophia also prefers to eat hot meat.

Six or seven hundred catties of venison, a meal with meat and bones only six or seven catties, but every day to eat meat will soon be unable to eat, with bread and vegetables and beans, two or three hundred catties are enough to eat until spring.

Lawrence went out on patrol after eating, and Sariel and Sophia continued to process the pieces of meat, processing the portion they kept to eat into bacon, and putting the rest outside on the roof to freeze, ready to be sent down the mountain tomorrow to exchange supplies.
