"Lao Hong!"

"Brother Hong, are you here?"

"Brother Hong, Manager Wang asked you to bring new people over again?"

Unlike the newcomer Wei Hong, after Hong Gang walked in, the skin pickers who were originally indifferent greeted him one after another.

Obviously, Hong Gang's popularity here is not bad.

Hong Gang responded one by one, and then came to the workstation next to Wei Hong.

"Brother Wei, look carefully!"

Hong Gang reminded him, and then without waiting for his response, he picked up a two-meter-long animal skin from the side and laid it directly on the wooden chopping board.

Wei Hong did not dare to neglect, and immediately stared at Hong Gang's every move with full attention.

After all, he was a newcomer and didn't know how to work yet. Now that Hong Gang could show him once, he would naturally accept this kindness.

Wei Hong saw that it was a piece of animal skin that had been simply processed. The original flesh and blood on the animal skin had been basically removed, leaving only the entire fur and some scattered pieces of meat.

After Hong Gang laid the animal skin on the chopping board, he took out his hands together, each picked up a slender nail next to him, and then clapped his hands together, and the two slender nails were nailed to both sides of the animal skin. He picked up two more nails and patted them again, directly fixing the animal skin on the chopping board, laying it flat and smooth.

Next, Hong Gang picked up a short knife with a slightly curved blade, holding the knife horizontally with both hands, with the blade pointing downward.

brush!

Hong Gang scraped hard, shaving off a layer of hair attached to the animal skin, and instantly revealed a pale white skin.

Swish, brush, brush!

Hong Gang was very fast, and his movements looked very skillful. He quickly shaved off the entire animal hide.

After sweeping the shaved hair to the ground, Hong Gang turned the hide over, fixed it again, and then picked up another sharp scraper.

This time, Hong Gang's movements became much gentler. He began to scrape carefully along the edge of the animal skin. As the sharp scraper scraped by, a layer of delicate grease was scraped off, leaving the The shaved area looks much cleaner.

The step of scraping off the grease is quite time-consuming. It took Hong Gang almost a stick of incense to scrape off the grease from the entire animal hide.

The reason why you need to be careful is because it is easier to damage the animal's hide in this step, so even experienced people do not dare to be careless.

After all the grease is scraped off, the entire hide looks much cleaner and fresher.

But Hong Gang did not stop, but continued to take another animal skin, and then repeated the previous actions.

Shave!

Remove oil!

The movements were skillful and swift, and extremely neat. It had obviously been repeated countless times.

After processing three animal skins in a row, Hong Gang turned his head and asked, "How's it going, brother Wei, do you understand?"

"I understand, thank you Brother Hong for your advice!" Wei Hong nodded in affirmation.

It's just simple shaving and oil removal. Wei Hong, who has slaughtered countless pigs and sheep, is very familiar with it.

"Okay then, let's start working. Try it out first. It'll be okay if you take your time. Try not to damage the hide. Just take care of it and put it aside!"

Hong Gang didn't say much when he saw this. He gave a casual reminder and then started to deal with the next animal skin.

At this time, Wei Hong suddenly asked in confusion: "Brother Hong, didn't you say that there are three steps to skin peeling? Why are we only responsible for shaving and removing oil, but what about exorcising evil spirits behind?"

"I forgot to tell you!" Hong Gang picked up a piece of animal skin and explained: "In our skinning workshop, most of the people are skinning apprentices, and they are only responsible for the first two steps, shaving. With oil removal, you don’t need to do anything else, and you can’t do it! ”

"As for the final step of exorcising evil spirits, a higher-level skin peeling master will be responsible for it. If you are new here, don't think so far ahead. Just do the two steps of shaving and removing oil first!"

"You don't have to do it? You can't do it either?"

Hong Gang's explanation suddenly raised more questions in Wei Hong's mind. He didn't understand why they couldn't do the final step of exorcising the evil spirits. At the same time, he also sighed that there were actually levels in a small peeling workshop. It was really unexpected.

But as Hong Gang said, he is just here for the first time and doesn't understand anything yet, so it's better not to be too ambitious. As for the reason, there will be a long time to come, so he can slowly find out on his own.

Wei Hong stopped asking any more questions, nodded with a smile and prepared to start working.

He first looked around, then reached out and picked up a piece of animal skin from the pile next to him and laid it on the chopping board.

Following Hong Gang's technique, he picked up four slender nails and fixed the animal skin on the chopping board, then picked up the short knife beside him.

"Isn't this just like shaving pig hair? It's just that these animal skins don't need to be scalded with boiling water!"

Looking at the flat animal skins in front of him, Wei Hong had such a thought in his mind.

He has extensive experience in killing pigs and sheep, so the job of shaving hair is not very skillful for him. This is completely like returning to his old job!

Therefore, Wei Hong was not timid and started shaving with a short knife.

brush!

He had shaved with one knife, but it was not like Hong Gang, who could scrape off a whole layer of hair without damaging the skin. His knife only cut off most of the hair, but half of the hair roots were still left on the animal skin, which seemed Very rough.

"So tough?"

Wei Hong was stunned for a moment, looking at the half-broken hair, and suddenly realized after thinking for a while: "I forgot, this is the fur of a monster, not ordinary pig or sheep fur, no wonder it is so tough."

He didn't expect that his rich experience in killing pigs would go wrong in the first step.

"I almost made a joke. Sure enough, in the world of immortal cultivation, even simple work like skinning and shaving hair is not something that everyone can do!"

Wei Hong smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart. The need for strength growth became more urgent.

But he didn't think much about it. The most important thing now was to do the job of skinning well, and the rest would be discussed slowly.

He raised the short knife again, and according to the deviation in force just now, he increased the force by half this time.

Swish!

Another scrape, this time, Wei Hong's rich experience finally came in handy, correcting the force according to the hardness and toughness of the fur, and scraping off the layer of hair neatly without causing any damage to the animal skin.

"Yes, this is the right strength!"

After regaining the familiar feeling, Wei Hong immediately exerted amazing speed. The short knife became extremely accurate under his control. In a few breaths, he scraped the entire animal skin clean.

Then he turned it over and removed the oil.

With the experience just now, Wei Hong only tried it lightly with the scraper this time, and immediately found the strength and method. In less than one-third of the time of an incense stick, he scraped off all the excess oil from the entire animal skin. The action was swift and crisp.
