Elven settlers

Chapter 107 Playing Movies

In the wilderness, if you want to use the fur of wild animals, you need to go through a slightly complicated process.

If the peeled fur is used without any processing, there is a high possibility that the fur will rot or become hard.

The processing steps are simply cleaning, degreasing and tanning.

This is the method mastered by Rock, and the processing methods in some professional workshops may be more refined and complicated.

But those skills are obviously not possessed by Rock, and there are no corresponding conditions in his current territory.

The cleaning step is to remove the residual fat and fascia on the fur, then wash it and dry it.

After drying, it needs to be degreased. Rock's "earth method" is to soak the dried fur in plant ash water.

The skin that has been degreased and then dried is rawhide.

This is how the frightened-horned buckskin that Roque sold to Sarah before was handled in this way.

This time, Rock intends to keep the circle bear's fur for his own use, so he has to do tanning work.

The commonly used methods of old-fashioned hand-tanned leather are vegetable tanning, oil tanning and brain tanning, but these three methods are only different in tanning solution.

The actual work is to apply the tanning solution to the raw hide, wait until the fur absorbs it, and press it hard for a long time, repeating it many times until the fur becomes soft.

The tanning solution of the vegetable tanning method can be made from the bark or fruit of some plants. As the name implies, the oil rubbing method uses some oils as the tanning solution.

These two methods are not very convenient for the current Rock, he is going to use the brain tanning method to ravage the skin.

The tanning solution of this method is easier to prepare and the effect is more stable, which is most suitable for Rock's current situation.

He took a wooden bowl, pried open the head of the circle bear, and poured the bear's brain into it.

Then some hot water was added to the wooden bowl, and the brain was completely crushed with a wooden stick, and mixed into a bowl of white liquid.

Rock took the bowl to the place where the tools were placed in the camp. After the liquid was left to stand, it would oxidize in the air, and it could then be used as a tanning solution.

After the tanning solution was prepared, the sky was getting dark.Rock, who was going to make another bed, had to arrange the work until tomorrow and prepare dinner first.

"It's more important to eat, haha, no need to be unable to eat on time because of work!"

The life of reclamation is tiring every day, but Rock is happy every day.

With electricity, camping lights can also be used.

The pale yellow light illuminated the dimly lit camp, providing Rock with great convenience.

The main ingredient for dinner is still the circle bear meat, and when he made the bacon, he specially left half of the hind legs.

Because he has eaten bear meat twice, he has a general understanding of how this ingredient is cooked.

Generally speaking, it is to soak more water, put more ingredients, and stir-fry on high heat.

This time I went to Sunshine Town Rock to buy two bags of rice, and he was going to make a fried pork rice bowl for dinner.

Skillfully deboned and diced, first put the fat meat in oil, then sauté until fragrant, then add the diced meat and stir fry.

Finally, cover the fried bear meat on the cooked rice, and a bowl of fried meat rice is ready.

"Let's have dinner!"

Abo Monster, Heiluga, and Bay Leaf, who was able to move a little, held their rice bowls in their mouths and lined up in front of the pot.

Rock took a large steel spoon, and after feeding them one by one, he also held a bowl and sat cross-legged on the ground to eat.

This time, because the cooking method has been improved, the taste of the bear meat is much better. In addition, it has been a long time since I ate rice, so Rock and the three elves were very satisfied with this dinner.

"We still have to have staple food."

Only by eating only meat for a long time can you feel the indispensability of the staple food.

After dinner, Rock cleaned the pots and bowls, and enjoyed the coolness of the summer night in the brightly lit camp.

Speaker Cricket and Round Mage curiously surround the bright camping lamp. Most insect Pokémon have phototaxis, and they seem to like this camping lamp.

"Wait a moment."

Rock found out a smaller camping light, walked to the oak tree closest to the camp, climbed up the branch that looked like a big umbrella, and hung the light on a protruding side branch.

"Here is the switch. If you run out of power, please come to me to change the battery."

Demonstrated switching lights to the speaker crickets and round mages who surrounded him, Roque saw that they had learned it, so he left the camping light and let them play, ready to go down from the tree.

"Abbe, help me"

When he was climbing the tree just now, Arbor had been following Roque, and now he was on the branch next to him.

Hearing Roque's words, Arbor, who had a good understanding with him, immediately understood his thoughts.

Arbor's upper body coiled twice on the oak branch, and then hung down most of the remaining body.

Rock pulled Arbor's body with his hands, and the strong snake body was wrapped around his wrist, and then he sent his body down little by little.

When it was more than one meter away from the ground, the snake body of Arbor was about to reach its end. Rock jumped down and stepped firmly on the ground.

Rock is very satisfied with his current skills.His strong athletic ability allows him to easily choose some displacement methods that he could only think of before, and the whole world seems to have become a lot more free.

Rock looked back at the oak tree where the camping lights were hung. The light yellow lights lit up among the dense canopy. It was not conspicuous in the dark night, but had a hazy beauty.

After returning to the camp, he brewed a pot of black tea on the campfire, grabbed a Mare sheep as a pillow, and relaxed with a laptop in his hand.

After getting electricity, Rock finally didn't have to go to bed early. For him, the only thing he was not used to living in the wasteland was not being able to use the computer.

Now this little annoyance is gone.

Rock flipped through his CD bag, ready to pick a movie to watch before going to bed. He took some movie discs from Sarah's house when he left Sunshine Town.

"Ok?"

The CD was wrapped in the bay leaf's saddle bag, and when Rock rummaged through it, a book with a blue cover suddenly fell out.

It was only then that he remembered that this was a book given to him by a muscular man who was practicing martial arts when he went to Sunshine Town to purchase supplies a few days ago. It was said that it was the training experience of the other party.

Thinking that it was just a pastime before going to bed, Rock picked up the book and prepared to read it.

"Hey Lu!" "Bai Li!" "Qi Bo!"

Seeing that Rock was about to read a book, the three elves who were waiting to watch the movie cried out anxiously.

"Okay, okay, let's show you a movie first."

Rock put the computer on a round wooden stake that served as a stool, and played a sprite movie.

The three elves sat in a row in front of the computer, Heluga and Bayleaf huddled together, and Arbo rolled over them, three pairs of eyes were fixed on the screen on the screen.
