Chapter 797 Indigenous Tanned Bearskin (2)

Before tanning the leather, the first step is to clean the leather and remove the blood stains on the hair as much as possible! If it hardens after a long time, it will affect the quality of the fur!

The huge piece of skin was thrown directly into the water, and after a pause for a few seconds, it was rinsed back and forth to clean all the blood and mud.

After the initial cleaning of the leather, the next step is to peel the inside, that is, use a knife to scrape off the grease and residual meat on the inner side of the leather! Make the entire leather surface as smooth as possible!

This step has relatively high technical requirements, and if the operation is wrong, it will also affect the quality of the leather! Excessive oil and fascia will deteriorate after a long time, not only the taste is unpleasant, but also the storage time will be reduced.

However, the skinning part of our front is relatively perfect, with less residual impurities, and the difficulty has dropped a lot!

While talking, Yue Feng casually placed a small piece of log under the leather, and began to scrape it carefully with a hunting knife. After a while, a large piece of white grease was scraped off!

The texture of the repaired leather surface has become smoother. Except for the few holes that still exist, the appearance has been greatly improved compared to before.

What the hell? This is all right? I feel amazing after seeing Brother Feng peeling the skin. This skin repair operation is a bit slippery!

According to what I know, this thing seems to use professional tools, right? There used to be a mink farm in our village. The master chef there used a special knife with a round blade to handle the mink fur, and there were also fixed ones. Equipment! But here, brother Feng, the knife is still the straight-blade saber over there, with some logs under it, is that the solution?

Look at the leather surface. After cleaning and trimming, it looks a little bit better! It's just a pity that there are a few holes, otherwise this bear skin would definitely be considered perfect!

What's the next step? How does the ash tanned leather work? I'm so curious!

Yue Feng read the evaluations of the water friends on the public frequency, and he was very happy, and replied: Actually, tanning leather with grass and wood ash is quite simple! The step of repairing the skin is almost done, let's go back and show it to everyone!

I saw Yue Feng rinsed the bear skin on the water surface one last time, grasped the two ends with both hands, and shook it in the air, most of the water droplets were shaken off.

It took about five minutes to walk from the lake to the camp where the bacon was located, and most of the moisture on the hair side of the bearskin had dried up.

Yue Feng casually placed the fur on a cut pine log, and began to make the final preparations before tanning.

Using plant ash to tan fur is actually a very primitive process! Brothers with a little chemical knowledge know that the main component of fully burned plant ash is potassium carbonate. The growth environment of plants is different, and it also contains silicon, calcium, sulfur, manganese, Micronutrients such as iron, magnesium, boron, zinc, copper and molybdenum!

In addition to being good inorganic fertilizers, these ingredients can also undergo a complex reaction with some organic molecules in the leather, making the leather soft and stable, and can be stored for a long time!

Before officially starting the tanning process, let's simply process the ashes obtained by burning the pine leaves and pick out the impurities that are not fully burned, so that the tanning result of the fur will be more perfect!

As Yue Feng said, he sorted out the impurities that were not fully burned from the ashes, and he piled up the fully burned ashes.

While working on this, the bear skin on the tree trunk was almost dry, Yue Feng spread it on the ground next to him without any care, with the fur side facing down and the trimmed lining facing up.

Tanning is actually very simple. If conditions allow, you can use plant ash to make an aqueous solution and soak the leather! But we don't have good tools, so we can also use dry tanning! To put it simply, it's like this!

In the next second, Yue Feng held the plant ash that had been initially selected, and casually sprinkled it on the side of the leather.

While sprinkling, apply back and forth with your hands to spread as evenly as possible.

Most of the moisture in the fur part of the front evaporated and disappeared, but the inner side, because it was originally biological tissue, still had a certain amount of moisture, and was soon covered with plant ash! As the smearing progressed, the color became darker and darker. In just a few minutes, the hands were pitch black, as if digging out a boiler.

Next, it's rather boring! After the initial combination and smearing, there is another very important process, beating! We need a small wooden stick that is not thick and not thin, and keep beating the tanned part evenly, so that the biological tissue and Plant ash contacts more evenly, and the reaction is more thorough! Well, I think this one is enough!

I saw Yue Feng randomly picked up a wooden stick about the thickness of a thumb, and after a simple trimming, he sat on the rock and knocked.

Puff puff! A series of rhythmic knocking sounds sounded in the live broadcast room. With the continuous knocking, the state of the leather back gradually changed slightly.

The tight and stiff part gradually softened under the double action of the percussion and the reaction of plant ash, and the sound of the wooden stick falling on the leather surface became more and more dull.

It took more than an hour for this knock, and a group of people watched Yue Feng process the bear skin, which was obviously a very boring process, but they watched it with great interest.

Under Yue Feng's careful greeting, the state of the bear's skin changed significantly, most of the plant ash reacted with the tissue fluid, and the entire leather surface became soft.

Phew! Alright! It's basically ok after processing here for the first time. In the next few days, subtle reactions will continue. Let's take the time to tap it a few times evenly, and the leather can be used!

Each hair of the bearskin is hollow, and the heat preservation effect is very good. Wearing a fur coat made of bearskin can resist the severe cold of minus 30-50 degrees! Whether it is used as clothes or as a mat for sleeping at night, it is very good!

Yue Feng once again spread the two ends of the leather bag and shook it in the air. Sure enough, the movement and movement were different!

Holy shit, shit, shit! After working so hard, it really works!

Yes, very strong! Hardcore wilderness anchor, teaching online! You can't see the value of this skill if you carry clothes with you. If you don't have winter clothes, the value of this bear skin will be greatly increased!

Fortunately, most of the holes are around the head and neck. Most of this leather can still be used. I learned another trick today, and the strange knowledge has increased again. It's great!

The other challengers are busy all day long with one bite to eat. If the live broadcast hadn't been on all the time, I would have thought he was cheating. Brother Feng's life is too leisurely!

What's next? It's still hours before it gets dark!
