Chapter 920

With a knife in one hand, Bai Xuemei pulled the goose's skin with the other and slowly peeled it off.

Compared with rabbits, deer, and sheep, the skin of big geese is not very easy to peel, mainly because the skin of big geese is too thin, and the connection between the skin and the underlying muscles is relatively tight.

If it is the skin of a rabbit, you only need to pull the skin with one hand and cut it with a small knife in the other hand, and you can peel it off quickly. Even a novice can quickly master it. .

However, Bai Xuemei is obviously not a novice when it comes to skinning.

Although her focus is basically on spinning and weaving, raising silkworms and reeling silk, taking care of children, and feeding sleeping pills to her elder brother when she is free, but as a person of this era, she does not care much about handling prey. strangeness.

Therefore, although the skin of the goose is not very easy to peel, she peeled it off relatively completely after some seemingly careful operations.

After peeling off the skin of the goose, she didn't rush to deal with it, but opened up the goose by the way, needless to say about the foie gras, even the goose intestines were not wasted, she used a small The copper knife was flushed from the middle, and after cleaning it, some salt was put on it, and it was scrubbed vigorously with newly dug well water.

After placing the processed meat on the built-up table in the kitchen, and using a clay pot to hold it, Bai Xuemei began to process the peeled goose skin.

It is basically modeled on the treatment method of animal hides.

For example, first use a relatively thin bamboo slice to scrape as much fat oil as possible on it, and then stretch it up for drying and tanning.

At the beginning, Bai Xuemei only focused on the big goose. After she dealt with the big goose, she changed her mind and came to the side of the duck house again, with her eyes fixed on the duck inside. scan.

After a while, she found another depressed duck.

Bai Xuemei, who is deeply influenced by her spouse Han Dashenzi, also has a kind heart and treats everyone equally.

After some treatment for the big goose, it is natural that one cannot favor one over another.

So this depressed and sullen duck was soon treated by Bai Xuemei from the duck house.

There is no need to elaborate on the process,

All you need to know is that the final result is that the duck that was healed into the kitchen is as peaceful as a big goose.

After treating the big geese and ducks, Bai Xuemei's gaze fell into the chicken coop again, she just swept her eyes slightly inside, and she immediately found several chickens that needed treatment.

In the end, I chose a sicker person to attack...

Compared with geese and ducks, the chicken's skin was more difficult to peel, but it was still peeled off by Bai Xuemei.

After such an operation, whether warm clothes can be made with this method is not yet known, but Bai Xuemei knows another thing.

Not only did she know, Wu, Senior Brother, Shitou, Yuan and many others from the Qingque Tribe also knew about it.

The thing is that the peeled geese and ducks are delicious when cooked, and the meat is easy to bite.

Unlike before, the outer layer of skin is cooked for a long time, and it is still not easy to chew it, which affects the taste.

Unpeeled duck is delicious only when it is roasted slowly over charcoal fire.

With this understanding, when the tribe eats ducks and geese in the future, it becomes more logical to skin them.

In the past, the people in the tribe were not so particular about it, but as the days got better day by day, the food became more abundant day by day, and with the guidance of their big foodie gods, they became more particular about food. A matter of course.

This also allowed Bai Xuemei to have more materials to try to make brand new clothes, instead of always looking around the goose pens and duck houses for nothing like now, and first she had to find unhappy guys for them to carry out. treat.

And the big geese and ducks in the goose pen and duck house don't have to act so hard. Every time they see this ferocious woman coming over, even if they were dozing off, they have to quack non-stop. To prove that I am not depressed at all...

Time goes by little by little, and the original down jacket made by Bai Xuemei is also being perfected day by day.

Dried duck fur looks very hard, but the problem of hair shedding rarely occurs.

Bai Xuemei also imitated the appearance of tanning the fur of ordinary animals, and tanned it, but the effect was limited.

Moreover, duck skin and goose skin are not as strong as the fur of rabbits and deer, so they are easy to sew.

So after trying to connect several skins, Bai Xuemei gave up the idea of ​​directly using such feathers to make clothes.

Instead, as before, I began to sew these pieces of feathers into the inside of the sackcloth, turning them into the lining of the sackcloth.

With the passage of time, the temperature is gradually decreasing. Before you know it, it has already arrived in the season of late autumn and early winter. Even the wind that blows has some meaning of winter. cold.

Bai Xuemei didn't feel the slightest cold, on the contrary, she still felt a little hot at such a time.

This result is very simple, because she is wearing a new type of clothing that has just been made of sackcloth and the fur of geese and ducks.

Because this new type of clothes is generally sewn with a layer of feathers of big geese and ducks, it is called Yuyi by Bai Xuemei who made it.

After the feather clothes were made in this way, many people in the tribe felt the goodness of this kind of feather clothes, and immediately became popular among the Qingque tribe.

If it weren't for the fact that the big geese and ducks in the tribe can still lay eggs, these guys would have to be labeled as unhappy by the people of the Qingque tribe, and then they would all be caught and let them collectively accept the Qingque Healing for the Tribes...

Bai Xuemei's pioneering work is very meaningful.

It's not that the feather clothes she made through this method surpassed the animal skin clothes that the tribe had been wearing in terms of cold and warmth.

It's because with the influx of a large number of people, the fur storage of the Qingque tribe is not enough.

The Qingque tribe now mainly focuses on agricultural planting, supplemented by hunting and grazing, and the amount of fur obtained each year is relatively limited.

The fur obtained from trade exchange is not as much as before.

Under such circumstances, it is not uncommon for things to happen that the fur is not enough.

Now, Bai Xuemei used feathers that the tribe had never paid much attention to before, and combined with linen to make a kind of clothing that is not weaker than fur in terms of warmth retention. This is indeed a very good thing for the tribe.

More importantly, compared with animal skin clothes, this kind of feather coat made of feathers and linen is very light, and it hardly feels heavy when worn on the body, but it is much more comfortable than animal skin.

It was also because of this that after Bai Xuemei successfully produced it, it became popular in the tribe.

Especially Wu, after putting on a feather coat specially made for him, he was reluctant to take it off.

But because the number of big geese and ducks fed in the tribe is not enough, and they cannot be killed in large numbers, the number of this new type of feather coat is not too much.

While everyone felt distressed and regretted for wasting a lot of feathers before, the lotus root digging team of Qingque Tribe went to Hehua Island to dig lotus roots also set off from the tribe and advanced along the Bronze Expressway.

On the lotus island, the Son of God made a special rule that birds are not allowed to be arrested there. No one in the Qingque tribe would dare to violate this point.

However, in the spare time of touching lotus roots, it is not a problem to have a relatively large hunt for the wild ducks living near the original wild duck station and now the Longmen Inn.

As a result, the wild ducks here soon suffered.

Obviously they are all alive and kicking, but the people of the Qingque tribe gave a gloomy diagnosis.

And he kindly treated them with the method of the Qingque tribe.

They were not the only ones who were forcibly treated. Some wild geese who were temporarily resting on the ground on their way home and were discovered by the people of the Qingque tribe also had to accept a wave of treatment from the people of the Qingque tribe...

There is no way, under the continuous influence of their wise, stalwart, bright, and a series of prefixed god sons, they are so loving...

Inside the Qingque Tribe, Bai Xuemei was sitting there, holding a needle and thread, sewing the treated goose skin into a piece of clothing.

The movement is very careful and serious, and the stitches are tightly sewn.

Moreover, unlike the rest of the feather coats that are usually sewn with duck feathers and goose feathers mixed together, this feather coat being sewn is all sewn with goose feathers, which looks very uniform and beautiful.

This dress, of course, was not worn by Bai Xuemei for herself, nor for anyone in the tribe, but she made it for Brother Cheng who was leading the construction in Jinguan City.

People are really strange. Some people are obviously far away and are not around, but once there are some good things and things, they will always think of them involuntarily and want to leave the best part for them. other side.

Happier than getting it myself...

The chilly wind blew, and the leaves on the trees rattled. Many of the leaves looked green, but they were actually scorched. When one stepped on them, they would make a crisp scorching sound.

Located in the Retting Pond on the lower reaches of the small river of the Qingquezhu Tribe, some and many people gather here.

Bundles of retting and soaking hemp were pulled out from the inside, and everyone peeled the hemp here.

After being placed in water for a long time, the outer skin has rotted, leaving only fine fibers, and the smell is not good at all.

However, no one in the Qingque Tribe disliked it. Even the witch also moved a small bench made of a few pieces of wood and sat here peeling hemp.

After these years of development, hemp has penetrated into all aspects of the Qingque tribe. The people of the Qingque tribe can no longer do without the rope made of hemp and the linen woven from hemp.

It is also because of this that everyone doesn't dislike this job that seems to be very smelly. Not only do they not dislike it, but they all have smiles on their faces.

Near the smelly retting pool, a rough and primitive singing voice rang out from time to time—"The black hemp skin is yours..."

Often after a male primitive person has sung, a female primitive person will sing in duet.

The lyrics are simple and straightforward, often with some strong, some things that both men and women are more concerned about.

After these years of development, the population of the Qingque tribe itself has continued to grow. The sheep tribe, green tribe, donkey tribe, and bone tribe that were originally close to the Qingque tribe have joined the Qingque tribe in one way or another. Among them, the happy party has not been held for many years.

Because it has been absorbing and integrating into other tribes, the current Qingque tribe no longer needs to hold a happy meeting.

Singing while retting and peeling hemp before has now been endowed with other meanings, and it has become an important day and activity for people in the tribe to choose and determine their spouses.

Up to now, those who sing when peeling hemp are basically grown-up or nearly grown-up people in the tribe.

In the antiphonal song, if the two sides can see each other, they can immediately go to the side to drill into the dry grass.

Of course, by getting into the dry grass, the two parties have become more formal spouses.

Later, you can go to the witch, and the witch will issue a thing called a marriage certificate by the son of God, and you can become an official spouse.

This kind of marriage certificate is a small rectangular copper plate made of bronze, on which the names of both parties are engraved with a knife made of meteorite.

On the north side of the copper plate, there is a relatively rough "囍" and the shape of a blue sparrow, all directly carved.

It is difficult to tear such a marriage certificate. If you want to get a divorce, you need to find Wu again, and ask Wu to take back the marriage certificate, which can be refused later to make other things.

Of course, divorce has not happened so far. The concept of marriage in the tribe has only been strengthened after Han Cheng arrived. It is still in a relatively primitive stage, and people don’t have much idea. They are still in the stage of a large pot of food, and the gap between them is not too big, so no one thinks about divorce.

In the understanding of everyone in Qingque, to become a spouse is to become a spouse, so why do you need to break up the relationship with each other?

Isn't this troublesome?

Therefore, the Qingque tribe usually waits until the death of one of the spouses to terminate the relationship between spouses. After the death of the other spouse, the remaining spouse can find a new spouse.

Another aspect that needs to be mentioned is that the Qingque tribe is not a monogamous system.

This is not the result of Han Cheng's intentional guidance, but is determined by the objective conditions in the tribe.
