Pokemon Settler

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

If directly stripped fur is used without any processing, the fur is likely to become rotten or hardened.

The processing steps are simply cleaning, defatting and tanning.

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

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 remaining fat and fascia from the fur, then wash it and dry it.

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

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

This is how the deer skin with antlers that Rock sold to Sara was treated in this way.

This time Rock planned to keep the fur of the trap bear for his own use, so he still had to carry out tanning work.

Commonly used methods for old-fashioned hand-tanned leather include vegetable tanning, oil tanning and brain tanning, but these three methods only differ in the tanning liquid.

The actual work involves applying tanning liquid to the rawhide, waiting for the fur to absorb it, and then tanning and pressing for a long time, repeating many times until the fur becomes soft.

The tanning liquid of the vegetable tanning method can be made from the bark or fruits of some plants. The oil kneading method, as the name suggests, uses some oils as the tanning liquid.

Both of these methods are inconvenient for Rock at the moment, so he plans to use brain tanning to destroy the skin.

The tanning liquid of this method is easier to prepare and the effect is relatively stable, which is most suitable for Roque's current situation.

He took a wooden bowl, pried open the ring bear's head, and poured the bear's brains into it.

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

Rock brought 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 then it could be used as tanning liquid.

After preparing the tanning liquid, the sky was gradually getting darker. Rock, who originally planned to make another bed, had to arrange his work until tomorrow and prepare dinner first.

Eating is more important, haha. I no longer have to miss meals 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 dim camp, providing Rock with great convenience.

The main ingredient for dinner was still ringed bear meat. When he made the bacon, he left half of the hind legs.

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

In general, just soak more water, add more ingredients, and stir-fry over high heat.

This time he went to Sunshine Town Rock and bought two bags of rice. He planned to make fried pork rice bowl for dinner.

Skillfully remove the bones and cut into cubes, first add the fat and simmer in oil, then saute until fragrant, then add in the diced meat and stir-fry.

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

Let's eat, let's eat!

Abo, Heiluga, and Bayleaf, who could move a little, held their own rice bowls in their mouths and lined up in front of the pot.

Rock grabbed a big steel spoon and fed them one by one. He also held a bowl and sat cross-legged on the ground to eat.

This time, due to the improved cooking method, the taste of the bear meat was much better, and since they hadn't eaten rice for a long time, both Rock and the three elves were very satisfied with this dinner.

You still have to have staple food.

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

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

Speaker Cricket and Circle Wizard curiously surrounded the bright camping lamp. Most insect Pokémon have phototaxis, and they seemed to like this camping lamp.

Wait a moment.

Rock found a smaller camping lantern, walked to an oak tree closest to the camp, climbed up on a branch like a big umbrella, and hung the lantern on an outstretched side branch.

Here is the switch. If the battery runs out, please come to me to change the battery.

Rock demonstrated how to turn on and off the light to the Speaker Cricket and Circle Mages who were surrounding him. Seeing that they had learned it, Rock left the camping light for them to play with before getting down from the tree.

Abo monster, help me

The Arbor monster had been following Rock when he climbed the tree, and now it was on the branch next to him.

After hearing Rock's words, Abo, who had a tacit understanding with him, immediately understood his thoughts.

Arbo's upper body coiled twice around the branches of the oak tree, and then the remaining half of its body hung down.

Rock pulled the body of the Arbo monster with his hands. The strong snake body was wrapped around his wrist and fixed, and then he lowered his body bit by bit.

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

Rock feels very satisfied with his current skills. His powerful 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 much freer.

Rock looked back at the oak tree where the camping lantern was hung. The light yellow light 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 made a pot of black tea on the campfire, grabbed a bleak sheep as a pillow, and relaxed with his laptop in his hand.

After having electricity, Rock finally didn't have to go to bed early. The only thing he was not used to in the wilderness life was that he couldn't use a computer.

Now I finally don't have this little trouble anymore.

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

Um?

The CD was wrapped in Bayleaf's saddle bag. When Rock was rummaging through it, a blue-covered book suddenly fell out.

Only then did he remember that this was a book given to him by a muscular man Fan Dou who he met when he went to Sunshine Town to purchase supplies a few days ago. It was said to be his training experience.

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

Hey! Bah! Chapa!

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

Okay, okay, let me show you a movie first.

Rock placed the computer on a log that served as a stool, and then played an elf movie.

The three elves were sitting in a row in front of the computer. Heiluga and Bayleaf were crowded together, and the Arbo monster was sitting on top of them. The three pairs of eyes were staring straight at the picture on the screen.
