Mountain Wild Clouds

Chapter 46 Bone knife, stone pot

(Thank you brothers and sisters for your strong support last week! A new week is here, and there are only two days of new book lists this week, so it doesn’t matter. But votes! You know, you need votes for sadness, and you need votes for recommendation, thank you everyone !)

While sharpening the bone knife, Yun Buliu specially used the incense burner to light some fragrant wood powder.

He wanted to use the scent of burning incense wood to dilute the breath of the big tiger, so that the little milk tiger would not run over and whine mournfully.

After half a day, he finally ground out four bone knives.

One is a kitchen knife for cutting meat and vegetables, with a wide blade and a thin blade.

One is a butcher's knife, which is convenient for slaughtering prey. The blade is slender and oval in shape.

One is a small skinning knife, which is specially used for peeling the fur of prey, with a short blade.

The last one is a firewood knife, the blade is the longest and the thickest, with a total length of nearly forty centimeters.However, Yun Buliu didn't plan to use it to chop firewood, but to use it as a bamboo knife.

Although the texture of the ox bone is very hard, it is also an ordinary bone. The knives made of it can be used to chop firewood, but they are not durable. It is not unusual for the blade to be cut off after a few chops.

However, if it is used as a strip knife to cut some strips, there is no problem at all.

At the same time, he turned over the beef in the big stone mortar several times to ensure that it could be marinated to taste.

After grinding the bone knife, he used the remaining beef bones to grind a few bone drills. The bone drills are only a dozen centimeters long. He can use these to pierce the beef, and then tie the beef with hemp rope.

In this way, the marinated beef can be hung to dry in the small bamboo building.

Originally, he wanted to sharpen some spearheads, but he thought that the hardwood used to make the short spears was very hard, and with his current strength, the wooden spears he threw were extremely powerful.

Moreover, in terms of toughness, bone spears are obviously inferior to that kind of wooden spears.

However, it is quite good to use the bone drill as a hidden weapon such as a flying needle.

All he needs to do is to get familiar with the weight of these bone drills and train their accuracy.

In the evening, he continued to cook salt, and those salt mines were not exhausted.

Before going to bed, he turned over the beef marinated in the stone mortar again.

The next morning, after breakfast, he pierced the beef with a bone drill, tied it with hemp rope, and hung it on a bamboo pole in the porch of the small bamboo building to dry.

After finishing this tedious work, it was already afternoon.

The fire on the stone stove in the cave has never been extinguished. He has been stewing the meat. He will start to eat the beef when it is cooked, and continue to stew it after eating.

Regarding this, Yun Buliu was quite helpless. He didn't know how those big eaters who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests solved their food problems.

Even if the whole cow is roasted on the fire, it must be roasted for a long time, right?
After much deliberation, he felt that this was the reason why the pot was not big enough.

So he began to dig stone pots.

The stone with a diameter of one meter and a height of seventy to eighty centimeters was first polished into a hemisphere, and then carefully hollowed out the inside. In order to heat the stone pot faster, he slowly scraped the inner wall with his tiger teeth.

It took him three days to polish this stone pot with a thickness of about three centimeters.However, no matter how carefully polished it is, it cannot be polished to a smooth surface.

In fact, this should not be called a pot, it should be called a stone tripod.It is much deeper than ordinary pots, and it can cook much more things. Correspondingly, it must take a long time to cook.

Such a large round stone pot certainly cannot be put in the small bamboo building, unless he wants to burn the small bamboo building.

Thinking about it, he thought it would be better to put it directly in the open air.

If it rains one day, move to the cave.

He also had to make a lid for it, though.

It’s just that it’s more troublesome to make a pot lid, and it’s definitely not possible to use wood. He has no tools, so with the only crude tools in his hand, it would be easier to weave a round dustpan out of bamboo strips.

However, before that, he needed to boil a pot of hot water to clean the stone pot thoroughly, and at the same time, he had to test how the stone pot was heated.

He used stones to stack a simple stone stove in front of the small bamboo building, then put the cleaned stone pot on the stove and started to light a fire.

The heat resistance of the stone pot is not bad, probably because the stone pot is too thick, and its heat is slower than that of the clay pot.However, because the stone pot is larger, the stove fire under it can be larger.

Therefore, even if it is slower, it is actually nothing.

After reaching this conclusion, Yun Buliu ignored it, added a few firewood under the stove, and began to cut bamboo strips, preparing to weave a round dustpan to use as a pot cover.

Cut the bamboo strips, take them to the terrace, make a cup of tea, sit on the bamboo platform and weave a dustpan facing the mountain wind, the sound of geese and geese can be heard from time to time, surrounded by curious, lively Yun Buliu feels that this kind of life is actually quite comfortable for the moving little milk tiger.

Although it lacks some popularity, it is full of wild fun.

At night, a round dustpan with a diameter of more than one meter came out.

In order to increase the tightness and hardness of the dustpan lid, he wove another piece and prepared to stack the two pieces together.

The next morning, he started cooking breakfast in a stone pot.

However, he had already eaten the remaining fresh beef. He filled a small pot of water with a stone pot, broke off a few beef bones, threw them into the stone pot, added a few pieces of beef that hadn't dried completely, and covered the pot with water. Put the lid on the pot made of dustpan, light the fire and cook.

After adding some firewood, he began to exercise, running, boxing, leapfrogging, climbing, etc., tossing himself hard, directly tossing himself to exhaustion.

After walking slowly and resting for a while, he began to practice the accuracy of broken spears and bone drills again.

As a result, before the exercise was finished, he heard the voice training sound of the little milk tiger coming from behind the small bamboo building.Then came the cries of a group of goose village warriors. The cries of those goose village warriors were a bit immature, and they should be the little swans who were just born this year.

Yun Buliu didn't take it seriously, but he heard the little fur ball babbling on the roof of the small bamboo building. He turned around and saw the electric current flickering on it.

However, it didn't go down the stairs.

Seeing this, Yun Buliu felt a little strange, so he walked into the small bamboo building and went to the balcony behind the bamboo building to have a look.As a result, I saw the little milk tiger rushing out of the grass, using all four claws, climbing up the ridge of the small pond under the terrace, jumping into the pond, and swimming towards the small bamboo building.

Behind him, a group of little fools from Goose Village spread their wings and jumped up the pond ridge, but some of them couldn't jump up all at once, and they were flopping around.

Yun Buliu thought it was the little milk tiger who offended the little warriors of Goose Village and was attacked by a group, but found that many big foolish warriors of Goose Village fled in all directions behind.

Farther away by the lake, two huge crocodiles, both about five meters in length, were confronting each other, each roaring.

But in the blink of an eye, the two giant crocodiles rushed together, and with a big mouth full of fangs, they bit each other.
