Chapter 55: Fish Skin


After asking Wu about the origin of the black oil water, Lin Xi returned home satisfied.Wu probably guessed that Lin Xi had something new to come up with, but she didn't ask much.She believes in their wise men, and when the time comes, the wise men will always speak!

The sky was much darker than when Lin Xi first came out, and Lin Xi looked up at the sky, and always felt that it was going to snow again?

She quickly returned to the cave and closed the door shut.The fire in the fireplace has not been extinguished much recently, and the table that Wuchen made before was placed in the window next to the fireplace after it was reconciled a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief!

This half-month illness is simply a torture, and she doesn't want to be sick again!

She got up and added a few sticks of wood to the fireplace, then boiled a pot of hot water in it.The kettle is placed on the left side of the fireplace, on a small pile of stones near the edge of the fireplace, so that the water can be boiled when the fireplace is lit.The water is meant to be drunk at any time, and it is kept boiling in the fireplace, and when it is dry, it is added to it.After filling the fireplace with the fire, Lin Xi thought about it, went to the shack outside, and brought back a few fish.She wanted to make an oil lamp, but not just an oil lamp, she wanted to make a lampshade.However, there is no paper here, and she only knows a little about the process of making paper, and it may take a lot of time to research it.Therefore, the material of the lampshade, all Lin Xi could think of was animal skin, or fish skin.But the hides are too thick, and the light transmission of the fish skin will be better in comparison.And she happened to know some ethnic minorities before, how to make fish skin clothing, maybe it works!

So she deliberately picked a few river fish that were slightly larger.Perhaps the tanning method of fish skin will be slightly different in each area of that ethnic minority, but what Lin Xi learned is relatively simple.She first used a bone knife to peel off the skin of the fish little by little at the edge of the fish's head.The skin of the fish is a little slippery, and if you are inexperienced, the hand holding the skin of the fish will often slip off if you are not careful.Lin Xi cut it very carefully and slowly, but half of the fish skin was peeled off, and four holes were finally broken.She looked at the fish skin in her hand and sighed, this one is considered scrapped.But it's the first time I've come, and it's normal!

She set the skin aside and continued to peel the other half.In the middle of the night, the skin of the fish on the other side was also peeled off, and this one was fine, only at the end, a small hole was broken.Lin Xi cut off the hole, then turned the fish skin side up, and began to use the back of the bone knife to carefully scrape the remaining fish meat on it.This time she was more patient, moving almost inch by inch, but fortunately, the result was also good, and the final processed fish skin was still intact.After processing the fish skin, Lin Xi looked left and right in the cave for a while, and finally went to the outside of the cave and found two wooden planks that were used to make tables before.She took the fleshy side of the skin, stuck it on a wooden board, flattened it, and then set it aside.The remaining fish were then processed.Time moves exceptionally fast when doing things seriously.In nearly two hours, Lin Xi skinned a total of five fish, and when she got the last fish and came back to her senses, she was shocked to realize that so much time had passed!

She walked over to the door, opened it, and took a look at the sky outside.The light was dim, it was getting dark, and the orcs who had gone out were about to return.It's already time to prepare dinner.Lin Xi walked to the shack, glanced at the shack that was already full of all kinds of meat pieces, thought for a while, and finally dragged half of the giant pig beast out.I also took a pair of pig hearts and lungs.The internal organs of the animals were only remembered by Lin Xi after he started fishing recently, and let Wuchen stay.Before that, the entrails of those prey were thrown away.When Lin Xi first remembered this stubble, his heart ached!

But she was a little puzzled that carnivores should not resist internal organs, but orcs, as half beasts, did not like to eat internal organs very much.I don't know if it's because of the factor of human change.Unable to figure it out, Lin Xi took all the ingredients back to the cave.She washed her hands several times with water, and each time she rubbed the ashes on her hands several times.Because of the processing of those fish just now, the smell on her hands is extremely fishy, even if she has washed it many times now, there will still be a fishy smell.She thought that if she had time, she would try to use the pancreas of pigs and beasts to make soap for washing her hands.The half of the giant pig beast that he got back, Lin Xi stewed half of it and roasted half of it, and the pig heart and pig lungs were made together with the red hair grass.When the meal was ready, Wuchen rushed home.Lin Xi hurriedly told him to wash his hands and eat.But after Wuchen walked into the cave, he first carefully put the bag he brought in on the ground.Lin Xi watched his careful movements, thinking that he had picked up the gray eggs again.The gray grouse is a bird that is not afraid of the cold, and even though winter is approaching now, there are still many of them in the woods.And after Wuchen knew that Lin Xi liked to eat gray eggs, almost every time he went hunting, he would find a way to bring Lin Xi back with a few nests of eggs.Now Lin Xi has saved up four eggs in large fruit shell pots!

But unlike what Lin Xi thought, there were indeed gray eggs in Wuchen's bag, but in addition, there was also something that was carefully wrapped in animal skin.I saw Wuchen lightly take out the small packages, as if he was afraid that he would crush the contents with a force, and put them on the table to open.Inside was a green, wilted plant."

Xixi, this is the green bead grass you asked the White Fury Leader to help find before."

Wuchen looked at Lin Xi and said.When Lin Xi saw the whole picture of this plant, he had already guessed its name.Because it looks so similar to its name.Whether it is its main trunk or side branches, it looks like a layer of green skin wrapped in a layer of transparent flesh.Its leaves, on the other hand, are like small balls, and the color is clearer.Lin Xi felt that if it was placed in the sun, he should be able to see the light and shadow on the other side of the ball!

No wonder it's called green bead grass!

At this time, Wuchen was still continuing to explain to Lin Xi: "It's winter now, and there are very few green bead grasses, and they will not grow again until the next spring, and the white anger leader said, I'll find you more when the time comes." ”When Lin Xi heard this, he hurriedly shook his head at Wuchen: "No, Wuchen, you don't have to go out of your way to find it."

When you go out again, tell the White Fury Leader that you can dig it up by the way. ”After all, she wasn't sure if she could eat it, and she wasn't sure if she could feed it.The main thing is that even if you can eat it, you are not in a hurry.The eastern forests in spring were too dangerous, and she didn't need to let the orcs risk it for such an inconsequential food!
