10. Leather making


The afternoon sun is like a mother's hand, touching my cheek easily reminds me of my mother, the wind on the grassland is very strong, even if it just rained a lot last night, on this clear afternoon, the southeast trade wind from the endless sea wants to blow every ice and snow in the Xinghu grassland.I stood in the wind, the cool wind blowing across my open leather chest, and stood on the hillside and shouted loudly to the green world in the distance.I shouted to the world: Hello, I'm coming!

Each piece of parchment paper is clearly and neatly recorded the harvest of the adventurers, there are not many valuable things on the wind wolf, although the wolf bone is also as hard as iron, it is very good to make some bone tools, but this is not the Grimm Empire, this is the Star Lake Grassland, if you want to transport it back to the Grimm Empire for thousands of miles, the cost of the road is far greater than the wolf bone itself, so for adventurers, the most valuable thing about the wind wolf is the wolf skin that is smooth and warm like satin, every skinner will cook the skin, who is here who does not have miscanthus salt?

But the perfect peeling, without hurting any texture on the wolf skin, has a lot of knowledge.Wind and waves are considered the most basic magical beasts, but the skin of any magical beast can carry magic power and draw magic patterns.Therefore, the leather armor made of wind wolf skin will be engraved by the junior magician and turned into magic equipment.It is very difficult to engrave magic patterns on leather, and there are many factors for failure, so magicians have very strict requirements for Warcraft leather, and almost every leather will be identified in grade, from one to ten, and the price is also very different.Therefore, a skilled skinner will also be very popular, and Uncle Fred is the best of them.In addition, there are 4 sharp canine teeth on the wind wolf's body, which is the first material for making carving knives, even if it is not as hard as a hundred steels, it is not difficult to carry, and it is one of the few valuable things on the wind wolf.This time, the expedition group brought back a total of eleven wind wolves, and it is said that they took out a wolf den.Every pack has a she-wolf leader, and this pack is no exception, and the adult she-wolf, which is more than four meters long, is laid on a wooden cart, and Uncle Fred skins it himself.I didn't understand Kutz's feelings, but he was watching Uncle Fred's smooth knife with relish, and the skinning knife in Uncle Fred's hand was like the eyes of his own hand, moving quickly between the she-wolf's fascia and subcutaneous fat, and the action was so dexterous that it was like stripping his mother-in-law's clothes, and with a light pull, the gorgeous clothes were taken off.I held a roll of parchment, held a magic knife and pen in my mouth, gently pushed Kuz's left rib with my elbow, and then leaned on his ear and asked him: "Kuz, aren't you the warrior of the orc wolf clan, don't you feel a little bloody when you see this scene?"

”Kuz's eyes widened, and he said to me in a serious way: "We are wolf orcs, wolf orcs are different from wolves, we are not related by blood.The children of our tribe also hunt some wolves, they eat our livestock, and sometimes they steal wild sheep with us. ”After lunch, the whole party followed the rangers to chase the herd, and it is said that our skinning convoy would follow to pull the antelope.In the morning, the two young warriors who were guarding us were taken away, leaving the other two warriors, who had been slightly wounded, and who had been tossed around on their horses all morning, and at this time had lunch, and had slept in the afternoon sun on a wind-swept sunny hillside.It was still the young magician who stayed, and she had a new task of being in charge of distributing the skinning of wolves, and she looked very seriously, occasionally interjecting to point out some mistakes of the skinning master, and the relaxed atmosphere in the morning suddenly disappeared, and the uncles in the caravan began to work tremblingly.Kuz and I were spectators, and at this time, Uncle Fred was on the ox cart, obediently watching Uncle Peel.The sorceress slowly paced to my side, stopped for a moment, and suddenly the hand in her pocket reached out and handed me a handful of yellow-orange-orange beans, and she smiled rarely, and she really had a little bit of youthful taste when she smiled, which was very good, otherwise I would have to list her as an old witch.That's when she said to me, "Here you go." ”"What is this?""

Beans.""

Cooked.""

Yes, please eat!"

After a short exchange, maybe she saw that I was too young to take special care of me.The sudden acquisition of fried beans made me feel like a sister next door.I politely stood up and thanked her, a little surprised at what I said.The common words of the empire do not contain honorifics such as thank you, maybe I didn't expect that a child like me, who is just a wanderer, will also use imperial Chinese honorifics, a little surprised!

A full 11 wolf skins were quickly peeled off, and not far away, the two lightly injured warriors of the adventure group were shouted, one of them set off with four ox carts to find the adventure group hunting demon antelope on the grassland, and I, Kuzi and Uncle Fred and a few others were left to cook the skins, and the matter of taking the magic core still needs to wait for all the members of the adventure group to come back, and the skinned bright red and bloody wolf head is as big as a calf's head, piled on the grass, and the blood on the skull has dried up and turned black and purple.In fact, the rest of the work was still very heavy, and the skilled cobblers stayed behind to deal with the blood, sludge and fat that had been peeled off from the wolf's skins, and then soaked the furs in boiling water mixed with alum, stretched on wooden racks to dry, and then smeared with miscanthus to turn into fine leather.These processes are the most test of the skills of the cobblers, because once the texture of the monster skin is injured, then the whole skin will be reduced by several grades, even the apprentice of the Ming master will not use the worst monster skin to practice the Ming, and the poor grade of the wind wolf beast skin can only make some leather armor, using its own tough and wear-resistant attributes, and will not become magic equipment.He and Kuzi sat on the only ox cart, and followed Uncle An to the small lake not far away to fetch water.Instead, Kutz and I were fighting on the ox cart, which would have kicked us both in the ass if Uncle Fred was there, while Uncle Ann was careful to make the ox cart more stable.I still have a few fragrant beans in my hand, and I eat them very sweetly.Although I didn't succeed in practicing anti-magic last night, after consuming some of the mana in my body, I found that the originally restless fire elemental magic was quiet, just gathering for a long time, and the burning sensation that always existed in my body was actually a little smaller, which made me feel very comfortable.Sometimes, the little reason for it can be very satisfying, just like I am now.When I arrived at the lake, Uncle An didn't let me and Kuzi do it at all, and I carried two buckets of water by myself, walking back and forth between the lake and the ox cart.People always enhance their feelings in such a harmonious situation, just like after this fetching water, on the way back, Uncle An opened the conversation box and was willing to chat with us: "My little man is as old as you, if I want to be so well-behaved to you, I don't know how happy I will be." ”"Uncle An, do you still have children at home?"

I thought that Uncle An's house was robbed by the barbarians, and Uncle An's own brother was left, so he joined the business group, and it turned out that he still had relatives at home.Uncle An laughed and said, "What, I still have three wives and five children to raise." ”"AhhMy mouth opened wide.Uncle An said: "My two younger brothers died, and I have to raise my sister-in-law and cubs who remained."

That's what we're like there, where barbarians come every few years to rob men and go back to be slaves, leaving a bunch of women and children who have no support.Every family is like that.I would like them to go, but if they stay, then I will keep them, and I will be my daughter-in-law in the future.Before he came out, the eldest of the five children in the family was not yet ten years old, and the youngest was not yet a full moon.Hehe, although the work of the merchant group is a little harder, it will take two or three years to come out once, but it is not bad to get paid, I think I can at least renovate the house when I go home this time, and it is better to move to a place closer to Sloitt City, maybe it will be safer. ”"Then Uncle An, you come out to run a business, how do they live at home?"

I asked curiously.Uncle An smiled and said, "Countrymen are very good at living.Eat some rye, tree rice, this stuff is all over the mountain, and if you're lucky, you might even be able to find some pheasants in the snow pits. ”Uncle Fa'an didn't say anything in the end, and I didn't ask too much for fear of annoying people, but it's true that this world is rich in products.Kuzi is a little stupid but diligent, although I am small, but I am very good at talking, I look at the work done by the pile, and even the wolf heads that have not harvested the magic core can tell who is who, and every bloody wolf head is signed by me.So our two little ones are very popular in the team.Uncle Fred is also very face-saving, apparently this time he persuaded the leaders of the two adventure groups to let the two boys get into the hunting group, and the two of us children can more or less do something to help, so that the others have less gossip, which naturally makes Uncle Fred very happy.This grassland has been deposited for an unknown number of years, alternating between winter and summer, withering and flourishing, and the grass has turned into rotten leaves over the years, turning this grassland into fertile.I crouched down beside Uncle Fred and listened to him talk about his experience.My uncle has been a tanner for more than 20 years, he was an apprentice in a shoe shop, and at that time he was a child about the same as me, and he was only paid a piece of white bread every day, and even now, the apprentices in the leather shop still follow the old tradition that the apprentices do not receive any remuneration, only one piece of white bread a day.Each master will teach his apprentices in their own way, because each tanner has a different understanding of the concept of leather, in this era, there is no school, but the skilled leathermaker always has his own unique method, Uncle Fred's perception of leather, only texture.The reason why Old Kuru has always praised Uncle Fred very much is also because of this, many of the totem imprints of the orc clan are born according to the texture on the Warcraft leather, and the old Kuru called the Warcraft leather itself has a natural magic array, and these magic arrays are contained in the texture, and because of this, the Warcraft leather will carry the magic power, and finally be made into magic equipment.Uncle Fred told me that following the texture of the leather will cause the least damage to the leather during the leather making process, and will have a greater chance of producing better quality leather.Squatting on the side, I watched Uncle Fred gently hold the knife in his hand with the four fingers of his left hand, and gently pushed it between the skin and fascia, and the skin was peeled off.I smiled and said to Uncle Fred, "Uncle, you will have your own leather shop in the future, and I will go to you as an apprentice in the future, and you will give me a white bread every evening." ”"Then it's not easy for you kid to get white bread, and you can't do it without working hard.Ha ha!

”Uncle Fred laughed loudly, I think whether it is a nobleman, a commoner, or a slave, everyone needs to have a little bit of pride in their inner world, which is the source of their happiness and sometimes the meaning of life.Uncle Fred also has a wish, that is, to use the money earned from this run to open a small leather shop, even if it is a little remote, as long as it is his own small shop.At this time, I am afraid that Uncle Fred is the most proud, he is like an artist when he picks up the skinning knife, with confidence and passion, this is Uncle Fred's pride, and where is my pride?

I've always felt that life has meaning because of the extraordinary magical power in my veins, and I've often been a little proud of it, and old Kuru told me that this secret should be kept in my heart until I have the ability to protect myself.I let my little body lean against the sack full of black bread and find the most comfortable position to stretch, the men in the caravan will not have the right not to work because you are only five years old, but I will not be unhappy that the thief will be lazy at my age, I can remember the wind wolf materials in those ledgers, even if I complete the task.Kuz had to work hard to follow Uncle Ann to the lake to carry water, and the labor he had put in today was not enough for dinner.I originally wanted to go with Kuz, but the little orc didn't like to work with strangers, and he only trusted me except old Kuru.But the young female magician, who had been in charge of supervision and vigilance, stopped me and said to me, "Clerk, the convoy of the adventure group will be back in a moment, and there are a large number of demon antelopes that you need to register, so don't go far." ”The female magician's name on me made me a little dumbfounded, the first time someone called me such a formal title, I was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer her, looking at the narrow smile in her eyes, I knew that I was joking with me, I don't know why she would have a good impression of me, it seems that my popularity is okay!
