Chapter 1054: Boiling

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    I originally thought that scraping donkey skin was an easy task, but when I got started, I realized how difficult it was.

    Each of them held a kitchen knife in their hand, and they were just scraping the donkey skin. The key is that the donkey hairs are tightly squeezed together, dense and thick. If you don't use force, the blade can only scrape on them.  , which is just scraping off a small layer of fluff, which is completely useless.

    But if you use your strength, the effect won¡¯t be that big.

    After just a while, Lezheng Yuanyue couldn't hold on anymore. His body was already relatively weak, so naturally he couldn't compare with others. He was panting heavily and saw Xu Ze, who was younger than him.  , his grandfather, who was much older than him, continued to shave there, took a few big breaths, and continued to work hard.

    It is a cold day now. Sweat is dripping from their faces and white gas is rising from their bodies. This is because it is too hot.

    Dong Shihao waved his hands, "No, it's too sore. Why is it so hard to scratch?"

    Song Guoqiang couldn't stand it anymore, "Who asked you to buy so many at once, and you bought exactly six."

    "Umahem" Before Dong Shihao could finish speaking, someone was shouting outside.

    "Is this Dong Shihao's home?"

    Someone outside poked his head and saw Dong Shihao. His face was happy, and then he pushed a cart over. There was more donkey meat and donkey skin on it than before.

    Song Guoqiang was shocked, "Youyouyou have taken over all other people's stalls."

    "Didn't I tell you that it's all gone?" Dong Shihao felt a little guilty.

    Jiang Tian was helpless. This guy, this is how he can go through so much trouble. Who can you see who buys meat for hundreds of kilograms at a time?

    The man came over and asked, "Where did I put the donkey meat and skin?"

    Grandpa pointed to the location, "Put it there first, we will deal with it later."

    "Okay!" He neatly took down the donkey meat and donkey skins. Grandpa and the others also helped. Not to mention the donkey meat, there were four more donkey skins alone.

    Song Guoqiang looked at Dong Shihao with an unkind expression, while Dong Shihao whistled and looked away.

    After putting all the donkey meat and donkey skins away, the man said, "Are you processing the donkey skins and preparing to make donkey-hide gelatin?"

    "Yes, this is not just to make some food for myself." Grandpa nodded.

    "It's not that easy for you to scrape a donkey's skin by manpower. This thing requires strength, endurance, and skills, all of which are indispensable. But even if you are a skilled worker, one donkey skin will cost dozens of people."  It only took a few minutes to finish it. If you don¡¯t understand it at all, look at it like this. What you scrape off is just fluff, which is actually of no use. If you want to deal with it properly, it will take three or four hours to guarantee it."

    "So long?" Dong Shihao was shocked.

    "It seems that you are all strong laborers and have strength. If you don't have any strength, just wait. It won't be done in a day."

    "But it's better now. You don't have to use a kitchen knife to scrape the donkey's skin so hard. You can spray it evenly with a flamethrower several times. The donkey's hair will be burnt. At this time, if you scrape it with a kitchen knife, it will fall off easily.  , when the time comes and you see that some areas have not been cleaned, then do it again a few times.¡±

    "Do you have a flamethrower?" Dong Shihao asked.

    ¡°I don¡¯t have them here, but they are sold in big markets and they are not expensive. Just go buy a few and bring them back.¡±

    "I'll buy it!" Dong Shihao ran out quickly.

    Grandpa thanked him and said, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have washed it with water. It's a good thing now. It still needs to be dried first."

    "Grandpa, it's okay. People are not omnipotent and know everything. Just let it sit for now." Lezheng Yuanyue said with a comforting tone.

    Grandpa was stunned for a moment, "Yes, that's the truth. Let's put the donkey skin on the rope."

    While riding on the donkey skin, Xu Ze whispered to Jiang Tian: "Brother Tian, ??if he can say this, it means that he is slowly getting better and is gradually getting familiar with this place."

    Jiang Tian nodded.

    Dong Shihao also ran back, holding a bag of flamethrowers in his hand, "I really didn't expect that these things are actually sold. Jiang Tian, ??let me remind you, this thing is considered a dangerous item. Daji  There are so many Masters, so you have to be careful."

    "I know, I will pay attention."

    Each of them got a flamethrower and began to spray fire on the newly delivered donkey skins.

    A sizzling sound sounded, followed by a burst of rich leatherThe burning smell is quite pungent.

    They all couldn¡¯t bear it, so they continued to clean up after wearing masks.

    I have to say that this flamethrower is really easy to use. After spraying it several times, I used a kitchen knife to scrape it, and I saw a lot of ash falling down. The entire donkey skin was scraped. If there was anything missing,  Then repeat it again.

    It took about ten minutes of back and forth, and a piece of donkey skin was ready. The next step was to rub the burned areas on it with steel wool and clean them up. In total, it was  half an hour.

    The white donkey skin was just placed in the iron basin and washed several times.

    Here Jiang Tian also took out the big pot of stewed meat that he bought before, built a shelf, put the big pot on it, put the donkey skin inside, poured in water, and started to light the fire.

    Grandpa said: "The donkey skin must be boiled. I guess it will take at least seven or eight hours. We use firewood here, unlike other people who use gas. The fire head is big, but the fire is exposed. Then  I just need to postpone the time for an hour or two. I don¡¯t have enough firewood at home, so I have to go chop some wood and bring it back.¡±

    Jiang Tian said: "Grandpa, you can process the donkey meat at home, and leave the wood cutting to us. There are five young men at home, how can you be used?"

    "Okay, you go chop wood."

    Jiang Tian and the others took the tools and went up the mountain. They divided the labor. Xu Ze, Song Guoqiang and Le Zheng Yuanyue went to collect firewood, while Jiang Tian and Dong Shihao looked for dead wood to chop firewood.

    The dead trees on the outskirts of the mountain forest are not easy to find. They are basically cut down by the people in the village. They simply go a little deeper.

    Seeing Jiang Tian chop down a tree with just one axe, Dong Shihao said with envy: "When will I have the strength like you? It's so enviable."

    "If you come here to chop down trees every day and persist for about half a year, you will definitely be very strong. Most people will not be able to compare with you."

    "Stop, I can't bear it."

    ¡°To be honest, Dong Shihao¡¯s strength is not small. Compared with normal people, four or five people are not as strong as him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
