Chapter 530 Dealing with the Prey (1)
Chapter 530 Dealing with the Prey (1)
The group dragged the prey towards Liu Jingxue's home.
When opening the gate, Liu Jingxue asked Tuanzi to get water from the space and fill up the water tank at home, so that she wouldn't have to fetch water later. There were things to do tonight, so the less work the better.
After helping to drag the prey into the yard, Zou Lao arranged, "Xiu Lan, go boil some water, we'll need it later.
Wei Hua, you go kill the wild boar and teach those two guys at the same time so that they don’t have any idea how to deal with the prey in the future.
The three of us, Lao Wu, Xiao Xue and I, will take care of the sheep and deer."
"Grandpa Zou, I don't know how to tan leather yet. I'll leave it for a day or two, and then you guys can tan it, right?"
"No problem. We'll spread it out and put it in the cellar where it can be kept for a few days. Tomorrow night your uncle and I will teach those two boys how to tan it.
As for Xiaoxue, forget it. You don’t have the talent for this. I’ve taught you several times, but you still don’t understand it.”
In fact, Liu Jingxue has already learned how to use her mind to process things in the space, and has tanned a lot of leather and stored it in the space warehouse.
But once I got out of that space, I couldn't use my spiritual sense to cheat in front of them, so it was not as flexible and a little disappointing.
In fact, the quality of the leather she made may not be as good as that made by Grandpa Zou and others, but it is still acceptable.
These older generations, who have experienced too many hard times, hate waste the most. Naturally, they think she is squandering resources and will not allow her to continue.
Zhao Junhao chuckled, "Finally there is something Xiaoxue can't do, otherwise we would have thought she was omnipotent, which would have put too much pressure on Mingxuan and me.
It seems that there are still things that Xiaoxue is not good at. Now the two of us can finally turn things around."
After hearing what Zhao Junhao said, Old Wu raised his hand and slapped Zhao Junhao on the back of his head, "Tanning leather is a man's job. Why does Xiaoxue need to learn this? Isn't it enough for you to know how to do it?
I tell you, learn well from your Grandpa Zou and Uncle Liu tomorrow. From now on, this job will be done by you two brothers. Don’t rely on Xiaoxue for everything.
If this continues, will you still be able to stand up straight? "
Being hit unexpectedly, Zhao Junhao couldn't help but groan, "Grandpa Wu, I didn't say I don't want to learn.
Don't worry, Mingxuan and I will study hard and learn the skills of Grandpa Zou and Uncle Liu. We will definitely let them teach their apprentices and starve to death."
Upon hearing what Zhao Junhao said, several people couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You are just a chatterbox, what do you mean by teaching your apprentice to starve your master to death? Your Grandpa Zou and Uncle Liu don't make a living from this skill." Old Wu scolded with a smile.
"What are you still standing there for? Can't you see your uncle Liu is already busy.
Today, we have the wild boars for you. Learn from your uncle Liu how to kill the pigs, remove the bones, and divide the meat."
"Don't worry, Grandpa Wu. This is a big deal about whether or not we can eat meat. Mingxuan and I won't be vague. We will definitely learn it."
Everyone performed their duties and started to get busy.
Liu Jingxue, Zou Lao and Wu Lao were fine as they were responsible for skinning wild goats and sika deer.
Mr. Zou is an old revolutionary. When he led troops to fight in the war, he often went deep into the mountains and forests. He knows very well how to deal with prey.
As for Mr. Wu, he used to be a wealthy man with servants serving him. Although he was later not allowed to do so and dismissed the servants and started to do things himself, he never dealt with prey.
However, since coming here, from last winter to now, Liu Jingxue has sent a lot of prey there, some processed and some not yet processed. He can't just rely on Mr. Zou and Liu Weihua to eat all the ready-made ones himself.
With his personality, he would never do such a thing.
Therefore, I have learned a lot from them these days, and have also gained some experience by doing it myself. Although my speed is a little slower, I am doing it quite well.
They were very familiar with the task, but Liu Weihua, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, who were responsible for dealing with the wild boar, were a little flustered.
Originally, Liu Weihua planned to handle one by himself as an example for the other two to learn from, but the two were too competitive and refused to give in. They asked Liu Weihua to guide them while they did the work.
Fortunately, the two men did not take the risk and used the two big wild boars for the experiment at the beginning. Instead, they practiced with the two small wild boars. However, even so, they always made mistakes.
Wang Xiulan added more fire to the stove, boiled some water, and came out to help. Seeing the little wild boar that had been stabbed several times by the two men, and the wild boar skin that had been torn to pieces by them, she couldn't help but shake her head.
"Fortunately, the two wild boars died a long time ago. Otherwise, with your skills in killing pigs, it would have wanted you to kill it quickly and save it from suffering a fate worse than death.
If they could talk, they would probably point at you and curse you."
When the other people heard what Wang Xiulan said, they all burst into laughter and didn't give the two people any face at all.
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were not angry. Zhao Junhao even said with a flattering face, "Auntie, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. Don't worry, we will find the right position next time, and we can do it with one cut."
"hope so.
These two wild boar skins have caused you so much trouble that they are useless. Originally, we could have put them together to make a pair of boots, but now it seems that it would be good enough to be able to make a pair of small leather shoes for little Tiger.
You have to be careful with the two big ones later, don't let them cause any damage. If these are completely peeled off, they can be made into several pairs of leather boots.
It’s cold here in the winter, with deep snow. If you don’t have high leather boots, you can’t go out at all, even going to the toilet is difficult.”
Zhou Mingxuan is now sweaty all over. He wants to take off his clothes and go shirtless, but he doesn't dare to do so now that there are female comrades around.
Her hands were all greasy, and she raised her hand and wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve. "Aunt Liu, let's practice with this small one first to get a feel for it, and try not to damage those two big wild boar skins later."
After Liu Jingxue had skinned two goats and dissected two wild goats, and after Mr. Zou and Mr. Wu had dealt with one wild goat, the two men finally finished skinning the wild boar and were ready to dissect it.
Liu Weihua then taught the two how to gut a pig and how to handle its internal organs.
By the time the two had finally finished dealing with the little wild boar and started to skin the big wild boar, the three people on Liu Jingxue's side, plus Liu Weihua, had already dealt with the wild goats and a sika deer.
"Grandpa Zou, it's getting late. You should go back and rest first. You still have to go to work tomorrow. Just leave this to us."
"There are two big wild boars and five sika deer. You can't handle them all. Let's keep busy for a while."
"It's almost ten o'clock in the evening. You still have to wash up when you go back, and you have to get up early to go to work tomorrow. You don't have much time to rest, so you'd better go back quickly.
The three of us can handle this.
You have just seen my speed. As for those two, I will help them after I finish these.
We don't have to go to work tomorrow, so we don't have to worry about working late." Liu Jingxue advised.
After working for a whole day and having been busy for more than two hours, the two old men were really a little overwhelmed.
"Okay then, let's go back first."
