After the bottom is pasted, leave a few palm-sized spaces around the ground.
There was no need for Chen Chao to speak, Wu had been holding the torch for a long time. The flames shone on Wu's side face, and there was a bit of tension in his pupils, and the hand holding the torch was slightly sweaty.
After passing the torch to Chen Chao, he seemed to be relieved, as if he had accomplished an important thing.
Chen Chao bent down and put the torch into the gaps left before, igniting them one by one. After waiting for a while, after confirming that the fire would not go out, he muffled these cracks with thin mud, then looked for a small branch and left a few vents before going to dinner.
After dinner, he gesticulated and asked how long it would take to get better. After all, he remembered last time, it seemed that a little longer than a meal would be better.
Chen Chao pointed to the moon in the sky, then stretched out three more fingers, and then said, "It will be better after the three moons appear."
One-eyed was disappointed and left, but after a while, he wandered back. I couldn’t wait to see him three or five times in an hour. I didn’t know whether he was asleep or not. Anyway, the two old people who took turns watching the night could not remember exactly what they saw How many times has he been.
The hunting team went out for three days in a row, and it was harvested every day. Today everyone was resting in the tribe, but half of the women in the gathering team set off to the chestnut forest and picked up several boxes of chestnuts and returned for storage.
When they passed by the rabbit forest, they brought back the rabbits that were held down by the slabs, and added 20 new rabbits to the tribe, but they only collect prey and haven't learned how to recover the trap. They tried several times, but failed. Just gave up.
Although it will take three days to know the effect, the lynx skin nitration is about to begin today. You still have to ask the witch to bring the broken pottery over so that you can have a sharp pottery knife.
I don't know how the tribe used to deal with the fur of animals, but when they watched them kill fish, they always found a sharper piece of stone 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 the witch who brought the pot back to the cave again, Chen Chao pinched his eyebrows. He felt that the witch really resembled an old man who couldn’t bear to lose everything when he was old. A new moon cake can be put in the mold until it becomes moldy. Only when the grandson comes during summer vacation, he is willing to take it out for the grandson.
When Chen Chao was lying on the haystack after waking up and wondering how to deal with lynx hide, he heard the sound of "chirp...chirp...pa" coming from outside the cave from time to time.
When I went out of the cave, besides the children pulling the straw rope, there was already an elderly woman who had already taken other women to rub the fat on the lynx skin on the stone slab. He gestured and asked, "You still have to Do other treatments?"
The elderly woman shook her head. She looked at Chen Chao suspiciously, as if she was asking, what else should be done?
At this moment, Yuan also came over, and Chen Chao pointed at the lynx skin and said, "Yuan, don't you deal with the skin after you get it? Just deal with the mature skin."
Yuan also shook his head. Does the animal skin still need to be processed? Wouldn’t it be fine to just remove the meat and oil on top...
Chen Chao pointed to the animal skins on Zhiyuan's body. Some parts were already cracked. Moreover, Yuan was the leader of the tribe. The freshness of the skins he could use was definitely second only to that of the witches. It was obviously the skins from not long ago, but This has already happened, and it is estimated that more holes will be opened in a while.
And it’s stiff, even if it’s smelled every day, it’s stinky...
He gesticulated again and said, although the communication with the hunting team and the witches has been much smoother, they can already understand many daily words and daily expressions, but the popularization of language is not a day’s work and it is too complicated. If you still have to add gestures.
"After processing the mature leather, it will be much more durable. It will feel soft to the touch and will not crack in a short time. The hair on the top will not fall for a long time. It will not worry." Chen Chao put down his hands pretending to cover his nose. , This gesture is very versatile, and Yuan is the one who mainly uses this animal skin. Does he know that he is smelly?
But what can be done about the smelly animal skins? If the skins are permanent, they will be stinky and will crack and shed hair... Those women, children, and elderly people who want to wear smelly animal skins don’t have to wear them...
Although Yuan Xin felt a little uncomfortable, if he could make the animal skins more comfortable to wear and last longer, he would still be willing to deal with the animal skins according to Chen Chao's method. A leader, this point of mind is still there.
Moreover, the animal skins they wore were stinky, which was originally a fact. At this time, there were not so many twists and turns.
"What to do?" Yuan asked.
Chen Chao thought for a while. He wanted to express what he meant to deal with mature leather. Fortunately, he had been thinking about it for a long time. Modern nitration is indeed very complicated and requires a lot of chemicals.
Many people may not know about these chemicals and do not touch them very much, but if you go back to the very beginning and the first person to find that the skin will be better after this treatment, it 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 nitrification method is still very simple, the kind that is horribly simple. All you need is a handful of plant ash and a pool of warm water.
It should be such a simple thing at the very beginning, otherwise it would not be discovered and passed down.
But to get to this point, you still need to remove the minced fat and dirt from the lynx skin, and then put it in the sun for a few days.
The straw rope weaved earlier came in handy. Put two thicker sticks in the soil and tie the straw rope to a simple drying rack.
This time not only Chen Chao contributed the straw rope weaved earlier, but the children also handed over the work. Chen Chao by the way asked the women of the collection team to collect some long grass and come back to dry it next time. You can weave more straw ropes at a time, and use them to make straw shoes.
Suddenly, the mouth of the tribe's mountain cave and the river were covered with dried skins, which made Chen Chao think of the leather word. Taking this opportunity, the people in the tribe learned a few more words.
"Nitro, leather, fur."
Chen Chao also took a wooden stick and wrote a big leather character on the ground, and explained like a witch and the children, "Look, this looks like an animal skin that has been cut and peeled off. The round object in the middle is The remaining part of the skin of the animal is the head, body and tail of the animal."
The children were okay, and Wu had his eyes brightened at that time, holding small branches and making gestures, and raised his head to look at the animal skins hanging on the straw ropes to dry.
