Daily Forest Ranger: Start Saving Giant Pandas

Chapter 189 Making Leather
【Last night, I waited too late. Seeing that the plateau jackals hadn't appeared, I went to bed. If I had known, I should have slept a little later. 】

【In this way, you won't miss the first live broadcast. 】

【Yes, I should go to bed later too. 】

[Upstairs, it doesn't matter if you go to bed early, anyway, there is a live broadcast replay, you can go and watch it, don't be so sorry. 】

[You don't understand, watching the replay of the live broadcast, where is the live broadcast so exciting. 】

[Yeah, the live broadcast is the most exciting. 】

For the little tiger's growth, Lin Xuan was naturally very happy.

In addition, last night it was also because of the help of the little tiger and the little gyrfalcon that he was able to successfully kill the plateau wild dog.

If the little tiger really wanted it, he wouldn't refuse to give it, but it's not done yet.

So Lin Xuan could only tell it: "If you want it, I'll give it to you when I'm done. If you haven't finished it yet, don't run into that basin."

The instructions this time were a bit complicated, and the little tiger's brain couldn't quite digest it, but it still understood what Lin Xuan meant to stop it from approaching.

In order not to make Lin Xuan angry, the little tiger didn't run to the basin after being released, but squatted aside very obediently, watching Lin Xuan work.

Probably to please Lin Xuan, its short orange tail was wagging wildly behind it, and because it was too hot, it kept sticking out its little tongue and exhaling.

Coupled with its dignified and well-behaved little movements
On the contrary, he looked a little naive.

But it was this scene that made the audience in the live broadcast room feel that the little tiger was even more cute.

He has slept for more than seven hours just now, this leather can't continue to soak, if it soaks any longer, it will be more harm than good if it rots.

Drag the basin containing jackal fur to the bottom of the mountain spring water pipe, pour out the original water in the basin, and then fill it with new water to rinse it twice.

It is very intuitive, the fur in the basin is much softer than before soaking, even if it is folded, it will not be stiff, but soft and submissive.

After carefully washing it several times, and making sure that the foaming water adhering to the fur has been completely washed off, Lin Xuan took the water out of the fur.

I sniffed it under my nose, it was okay, although there was still a small smell, but it was much better than the unbearable stench before.

That way, by the time you've successfully tanned, the flavor should be gone.

Putting the drained leather back into the empty basin, Lin Xuan got up and went back to the front yard with the basin in hand.

Seeing Lin Xuan leaving with his darling's fur, of course the little tiger couldn't stay in the backyard, so he hurriedly followed.

Putting the pot on the ground in the front yard, Lin Xuan straightened up and smiled at the camera of the drone:
"Wait a minute, everyone, I'm going to get some tools."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xuan turned and walked towards the tool room.

Everyone is very curious, what tool will be chosen for live broadcasting to start making skins?
With more than a dozen processes, the tools used to make it must be very complicated, right?
But when Lin Xuan took it out, he was destined to disappoint everyone.

This tool is surprisingly simple.

It was a long, hollow semi-circular log, a stack of thick cloth, and a very strange-looking knife. It was strange because this knife was different from the usual straight knife, but a curved one. A very large scimitar, much like a miniature version of the full-moon scimitar in martial arts novels.

【This knife is interesting!】

[What else can you do if you bend like this? 】

【Upstairs, I think you are implying something!】

【Don't open it, don't open it, the road will collapse if you open it again!】

If it is used normally, this knife really can't do anything.

The scimitar blade is inside, and with this kind of curvature, it is very difficult to cut things."

Lin Xuan smiled, took two benches and put them together, put the semicircular hollow log on it, and sat on one end of the bench as well.

Spread out the stack of thick cloth that was taken out earlier on the log, then reach out to pick up the wet fur, wash it up, and put the fur side down on the log.

"This bow-shaped knife has only one purpose, and that is to peel the skin that has been soaked."

After finishing speaking, Lin Xuan leaned over and took the bow-shaped knife in his hand to cut the inside of the fur for everyone to demonstrate.

[Cut inside?It turns out that it means cutting the inner side!I was still thinking about the relationship between pear peeling and pear making and fur making.]

[To be honest, I also heard Sydney. 】

【Anchor, why do you need to peel the skin? Isn’t it easy to break after being thinned?】

"Shaving is to cut off the fat and residual meat inside the fur, without harming the dermis. The thick cotton cloth I put underneath is also to prevent the bow-shaped knife from hurting the hair roots."

Lin Xuan said while trimming the fur:
"This step is very important for tanning leather.

If the shaving is not clean, leaving fat and residual meat, the tanned leather will also stink after a long time, and this step is also a preparation for the next step of degreasing.

If you use a horse-shaped knife to shave the inside of the fur back and forth, you can squeeze the remaining oil in the fur to float to the surface of the fur, which is conducive to the next step of degreasing.

The fishy smell of this animal comes largely from the oil it secretes. If this thing is not cleaned, think about how touching it will be if you sleep on it. "

Lin Xuan smiled slyly.

[Mouth area, stop talking about the anchor, I already smell it! 】

[Automatically imagined the smell of the fox cage in the zoo, I feel a little nauseous now]

[Why the anchor's description is so simple and unpretentious every time, but it is so graphic and tasteful, it's so confusing. 】

Jackals have more body odor than wild foxes, so now you know how important this step is. '

The whole piece of jackal fur didn't feel very big when it was stacked up before, but when it was spread out and trimmed a little bit, everyone realized how huge a project it was.

In order to ensure that the cutting and scraping oil are clean enough, each time Lu Bao cuts the inner part, it is only the size of a palm.

For the fur of an adult jackal that weighs more than a hundred catties, one can imagine the degree of trouble.

This scrape is more than an hour.

With Lin Xuan chatting with him, the audience in the live broadcast room were not very bored, but the little tiger actually squatted beside him for an hour, staring at the fur that Lin Xuan was shaving the whole time.

It can be seen how much it likes and wants this thing.

"If you look at it again, your eyes will pop out. If you like it, I will give it to you. It's not a big deal."

Finally finished the trimming process, turned the fur upside down and put it on the ground, looking at the little tiger staring straight at the jackal fur, Lu Bao said very funnyly:
"Wait here, I'll get a pot to boil some skin washing water."

Thick cotton cloth is very absorbent, and when Lin Xuan shaves, the moisture on the wool side has been almost absorbed.

Now turn it upside down and put it on the ground, it looks very smooth and oily when the breeze blows over it.

Even if the current process is not even a semi-finished product, it is already quite beautiful.
