After the two of them mashed the upper part, Chen Chao let One-Eyed go up first, and started to mash the bottom part by himself.

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, and the light reflected on Wu's side face. His pupils were also tense, 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, lighting them one by one. After waiting for a while, after confirming that the fire would not go out, he mucked up 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 said, "It will be better after the three moons appear."

One-eyed was disappointed and left, but after a while, he wandered back, wishing to see him three or five times in an hour, and didn't know whether he was asleep or not in one night. Anyway, the two old people who took turns watching the night can't remember exactly what they saw. How many times has he been.

The hunting team went out for three days in a row, and 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 without success. Just gave up.

Although it will take three days to know the effect, but today we will start the tanning of the lynx skin, and we still have to ask the witch to bring the broken pottery over, so that we can have a sharp pottery knife.

I don't know how the tribe used to deal with animal fur, but when they watched them kill fish, they always found a sharper 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 clay 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 gets cold. Only when the grandson comes during the 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 ropes, there was already an elderly woman who had taken other women to rub the fat on the lynx skin on the stone slabs. 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, do we need to do anything else?

At this moment, Genya came over, 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."

Genya shook his head. Does the hide 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 places had cracked. Moreover, Yuan was the leader of the tribe. The freshness of the skins he could use was definitely second only to that of 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 so stiff, even if you smell it every day, it’s stinky...

He gesticulated again and said, although the communication with the hunting team and the witches has become much smoother, and they can already understand many everyday words and expressions, but the popularization of language is not a day’s work and it’s too complicated. If you still have to add gestures.

"After processing the mature leather, it will be much more durable. It will feel very soft 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 that pretended 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, it will be stinky forever 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 Origin Heart 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 this 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 have much contact with them, but if you go back to the very beginning and the first person to find that the skin will get 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 earthen and most earthen 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 beginning, otherwise it will not be discovered and passed down.

But to get to this point, you still need to remove the minced fat and dirt on the lynx skin, and then put it in the sun for a few days.

The straw rope weaved earlier came in handy. Insert 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 sandals.

For a time, the mouth of the tribe's 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. The round object in the middle is The rest of the skin of the beast is the head, body and tail of the beast."

The children were okay, and Wu was bright at the time, holding small branches and making gestures, and raised his head to look at the animal skins hanging on the straw ropes to dry.
