Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

The butcher processed the robes and rabbits in the village, peeled off the skins completely, and cut the meat before coming over to help deal with the wild boar.

After opening the pig's stomach and intestines, the internal organs were cleaned out first, and the head and feet were also cut off and cleaned. Since there was no equipment to remove the pig's hair, the butcher directly peeled off the pig's skin.

"Aunt Liu, this pig skin can be processed into shoe uppers and leather jackets. You can keep it for now and ask the village chef who can process it when the time comes."

The process of peeling off the pig skin is not easy. Although the butcher is skilled, it still takes a lot of effort to deal with such a huge wild boar.

Sweat slid down his forehead, dripped onto the dusty ground, and was instantly absorbed without a trace.

Liu Caixia and the others were amazed at the butcher's skills as they watched.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Hu."

"What Brother Hu? You and the villagers can just call me Hu Dao. I was a butcher before I became the second oldest. I tell you, there is no skin I can't peel and no bone I can't shave. Don't worry, I can peel this skin cleanly."

The peeled pig skin was spread out neatly aside, with a faint oily sheen, appearing unusually thick and tough, showing that the life of this wild boar in the mountains and forests was not easy.

The butcher looked at his work with satisfaction, then picked up a sharp knife and began to carefully cut the pork.

He cut the pork into pieces according to the parts. Each cut was extremely precise, as if he was performing a silent ritual to transform the gift of nature into delicious food on the table.

"Then I'll call you Brother Dao. I'm a little younger than you, so I won't be polite with you. I've already asked the aunt in the village for advice on the wolf skins. I was planning to process all the skins today, and if there's still water here, it'll be easy to clean up!"

Liu Caixia learned the earth kneading method from the aunties in the village, kneading the leather with mud or wood ash.

There happened to be a lot of soil mixed with fine sand near the small puddle, which was perfect for rubbing the leather to soften it, and then hanging it away from the fire to smoke and bake it at a low temperature.

The leather made in this way can be washed with water and then dried. After it is processed, it can be made into shoes and leather clothes, or directly sewn into blankets to keep warm.

Originally, the aunts said that there is a water kneading method, but it cannot be used due to the lack of water.

The current environment was just right, so Liu Caixia asked everyone else in the family to join the team in making the leather, leaving her mother alone to help with cooking.

Seeing this, the other aunts who were cooking together also came forward to help. Some were responsible for cleaning the internal organs, while others began to process the wild boar's limbs and head. Everyone had a clear division of labor and moved quickly and orderly.

The air is filled with the unique aroma of fresh pork and a subtle hint of wildness, making people look forward to the upcoming feast.

Lin Weizhong and his son also followed the Liu family to help rub the leather. Although he only had one hand, he still had the strength to help. He could also use a wooden mallet to hit the leather mixed with mud and sand to cause a chemical reaction.

All the leathers were rubbed and packed, ready to be taken back to the camp and smoked overnight.

As time went by, the originally huge wild boar was broken down into neat pieces of meat, as well as various internal organs and bones for subsequent processing through the joint efforts of the butcher and villagers.

The butcher wiped the sweat from his forehead and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

He was not only admiring his own cooking skills, but also happy that he could eat a piece of meat tonight. You know, he used to be able to eat meat every day at home.

Now, he is so greedy after not eating meat for a long time that he has become thin due to hunger.

Today's dinner is very rich, with pig's feet and bones stewed in soup, pig's head skinned, salted and roasted, and a pot of pig-killing dishes, with three full pots of pig offal and wild vegetables.

Village Chief Hu looked at the environment here and said to the villagers:

"Let's spend the night here and let the villagers come over to wash. Everyone should collect more firewood and light a few more fires to keep watch. I believe that the wild animals will not dare to approach easily at night."

No one else had any objections, so Village Chief Hu asked someone to notify the people over at Luanshigang and ask them to move here to spend the night and bring along all the barbecue supplies.

The Liu family has a lot of pork from this wild boar. Apart from the limbs, head and tail, there is still a lot of meat left, so they will continue to roast it in the evening.

After everyone in Hujia Village arrived, today's dinner began.

The pork bone soup that had been stored for an hour or two was full of pork head meat and pork offal, with a lot of Jerusalem artichokes and Sichuan peppercorns added.

When it is almost ready, add some wild vegetables picked from the mountains, and it tastes very good.

As night fell, the bonfire in the village was lit, and the fragrant wild boar meat dishes were brought aside. Everyone lined up consciously, and after getting the meat, the villagers sat together and enjoyed this hard-earned delicacy.

Today, the people in Hujia Village were eating with great satisfaction.

But by the time they finished eating, it was already dark.

After dinner, Village Chief Hu started to make arrangements again, asking everyone to do what they should do.

He also thought that if there was extra water, everyone could simply wash their bodies, even if it was just wiping them with water.

"Then let's quickly find a place to hide. We'll spend the night here. There's still a lot of water in the puddle. Share it with everyone. The whole family can simply wash themselves!"

Everyone is the same, so no one says who smells bad. In fact, how can you not smell bad if you don’t take a shower for so many days? Plus, the weather is so hot that you can smell the sour odor on each other from a distance.

Liu Caixia and her friends had already washed secretly before.

Therefore, all the water was saved to give Liu's father, Liu's mother and Xiaomei a simple wash. Since there were more people, they received more water. The four of them had already had a simple wash, so now they just needed to wash their faces and rinse their mouths.

The people of Hujia Village finally lit a few fires on the largest open space, moved some stones around to make shelter, and continued to use the previous barbecue equipment. Everyone simply gathered together and laid some simple hay on the ground as a bed.

The temperature gradually dropped at night, but fortunately we could warm ourselves by the fire, and even though the whole family was huddled together we didn't feel cold.

Fortunately, everyone simply washed their bodies and changed into clean clothes, otherwise with so many people gathered together, the smell would really be unpleasant. If the conditions allowed, who would want to live in a stinky environment every day?

Liu Caixia lit two more fires on their side and set up two wooden poles to hang the skins. They would smoke them all night and put them away the next morning.

There was still some leftover pork that he didn't want to roast into jerky, so he had to find an opportunity to secretly have Liu Xiaolu put it into the space and tell others that it had been roasted into jerky.

It was a dark and windy night in the forest. Except for the area around the campfire, everything else was pitch black. They basically lived at the edge of the villagers, and the Lin father and son lived with them.

Liu's father also agreed with Village Chief Hu that they would not send anyone to keep watch at night. Lin Weizhong and the Liu family would send their own people to keep watch, which would also save manpower for the villagers. Village Chief Hu did not force them on these small matters.

Their small group is also slowly forming!
