Challenge the wilderness to survive

Chapter 77: Smashed out a knife

Xu Yi first rounded the leopard's neck and limbs with a knife.

In this way, after cutting the belly, you can peel off the leopard skin.

In this way, the leopard skin gets a more complete one.

It is easier to tear the skin directly, although it will lose a lot of fat, but when it is fixed to the tripod, you can slowly hang off the fat and then boil it into oil.

Yesterday's deer oil Xu Yi is going to be used for cooking, today's leopard oil Xu Yi is going to make oil lamps, and try to make soap.

He and Su Keke's hair was very uncomfortable because they didn't use shampoo and were as dry as thatch.

If he had good tools, Xu Yi would want to shave his head.

The bald head is easy to clean and not easy to be attached to bugs.

However, Xu Yi's knife is suitable for cutting things, and if it is used to shave his head, it is somewhat not sharp enough.

If this is used to shave the head, it must leave a lot of wounds.

Therefore, Xu Yi hopes to make soap even more.

Although my hair will not be so smooth after washing my hair with soap, it is at least softer than it is now.

After peeling off the leopard skin, Xu Yi broke open the leopard's belly.

Xu Yi still didn't want intestines this time, nor did he want his lungs.

It was too much trouble to deal with, but instead of throwing it into the river to wash away, he stayed, put it in the creek and pressed it with stones.

He plans to dig traps near the camp to attract animals.

Hunting does not necessarily need to go far, and it is also possible near the camp.

I want to go hunting far away because all the prey nearby has been swept away.

There are still beasts in Xu Yi and Su Keke's camp, so he can set up traps near the camp and wait for the beast to come.

The reward he received last night gave Xu Yi a lot of confidence.

This is the positive effect brought by the increase in strength.

Before, Xu Yi would definitely think of moving the trap farther, so that he and Su Keke would be safer.

Now it's different. Xu Yi feels that he is closer and can deal with it better.

In case the trap didn't kill the prey, he could also shoot directly and kill the prey, so that it would howl all night, and there was no way to rest between himself and Su Keke.

After carrying the leopard meat back, Xu Yi began to cut.

It needs to be cut into small pieces to be able to smoke the meat.

If it is too big or too thick, it won't be smoked and will deteriorate easily.

After spending time and energy, if it deteriorates, isn't it a waste of time?

Xu Yi, naturally it is not possible to allow this to happen.

"Dad, let me cut the meat. Daddy, you have other things to do."

Su Keke offered to help, after all, the meat was thinner than yesterday's venison.

Venison can be eaten in a few days, but these leopard meat need to be preserved for a longer time.

"This knife is too heavy for you."

Xu Yi refused. After all, this stone machete was really too heavy, and Su Keke was choppy enough to hold it. How to cut the meat?

"But Dad has to deal with leopard skins. I can't get that cocoa. I can use this stone chisel. It is very light. I can cut it slowly." Su Keke felt that Xu Yi had a lot to do, so Still keep trying.

Xu Yi glanced at the stone knife by the bonfire, and now it was completely reduced to a stone slab, used for frying.

"Wait a minute, let me see if I can smash a knife."

With that, Xu Yi picked up the stone knife on the ground that he planned to sharpen.

Because there are so many things to do, Xu Yi couldn't spare the time to polish the kitchen knife.

Smashing is a way to save trouble.

The ancients used stone knives or other weapons to smash them.

Especially for flint, it often has a sharp fracture after being smashed, which is especially suitable for use as a knife.

There are no big rocks in the camp, but there are small streams.

Xu Yi took the stone knife and came to the edge of the stream.

He didn't smash the stone knife directly at the stone.

Instead, he picked up some stones from the stream and laid them on the shore, then put the stone knife on the surface, letting some of them hang in the air.

Then, he picked up a big rock from the stream and smashed it directly at the stone knife.

After the big stone hit the stone knife, it was bounced and rolled to the side.

Had Xu Yi reacted quickly, his foot would have been hit.

"Ha, yes, smashed a small sharp knife."

Xu Yi happily picked up a piece of stone. It had only his own palm and one side was very sharp.

Xu Yi picked it up and looked at it. The fracture was very thin and sharp.

Using this to cut meat can save much effort.

Although there is no handle, it is ready to use.

If you want a handle, you can only find a suitable piece of wood at night, then chisel a suitable groove, and put the stone blade in it.

After taking it home with the sharp blade, Su Keke immediately became happy when he saw it.

She has already started to cut meat with a stone chisel, but because the stone chisel is limited in width, it is not very useful.

The sharp blade that Xu Yi brought back was different. The blade had some relatively small arcs, and it looked like a very useful knife.

"Dad, you are amazing."

Su Keke is completely Xu Yi's little girl, looking at Xu Yi with admiration.

Xu Yi happily touched Su Keke's head, and then said, "Cut carefully. After a while, Dad has processed the leopard skin, and then we will cut the meat together."

Then, Xu Yi used some plant ash to start tanning leopard skins.

After tanning for half an hour, Xu Yi began to make another tripod out of bamboo, then fixed the leopard skin to the tripod and hung it up for smoke.

Su Ke Ke has cut most of the leopard meat and put it all in a bucket for marinating.

After Xu Yi processed the leopard skin, he and Su Keke cut the remaining meat.

Xu Yi planned to throw the leopard's skeleton to the stream.

These bones are still useful, but the traps on the side of the camp have not been dug, and Xu Yi thinks it is more reliable to throw them to the creek.

"Dad, how do we cook at noon?"

Su Ke saw that the time for lunch was getting closer, so he asked curiously.

Do you cook leopard meat?

Looking at it, it doesn't seem to be very tasty either.

After all, their seasoning is too limited.

Xu Yi also said that the meat of this leopard is similar to that of a bobcat, and it is harder.

Therefore, Su Ke Ke felt that it would not taste very good when cooked.

"Dad go to the river to see if we can pick up a thinner slate. Now that we have oil, we can try to fry the meat slices."

"You take a small piece of cassava and cut them into small pieces, and see if you can get some starch and use it to wrap the meat slices so that the meat can be tender."

After speaking, Xu Yi took off his clothes and walked towards the river.
