Cohabitation In The Wilderness: My Partner Steals My Protein

Chapter 40 "Burning" Roe Deer Skin and Bear Skin

The pine wood in the earthen stove was burning vigorously, and the cabin gradually became warmer.

The water in the pot was boiling at this time.

The hot steam diffused, making the dry and cold air in the room warm and humid.

Bai Piao grabbed a few handfuls of pine and cypress wood ash from the earthen stove and put them in the pot, and then added a handful of salt to it.

These operations of his completely dumbfounded Yang Mi who grew up in the city, and said with a vigilant face.

"Bai Bai, you're not planning to drink this for a while, are you?"

"This salt is too much, are you trying to kill me? Can't you save some?"

Yang Mi still felt distressed watching Bai Piao pouring salt into the pot.

At this time, only half of their original two bags of one-jin salt were left.

It's not how hard they usually eat salt when cooking, but that they got a lot of salt water and used it when making smoked fish and bacon.

Just like this, the amount has been controlled all the time, and a little salt is added every time.

Otherwise, after so many days of smoking so much fish, their little salt would have been used up long ago.

There are still 11 days to complete a month, and then they can each choose three kinds of living materials to regain salt.

At this time, Yang Mi felt distressed seeing him throwing so much into the pot so wastedly.

Of course, Bai Piao didn't plan to drink this. With the addition of plant ash, the clear boiling water in this pot suddenly became cloudy.

Not to mention how much salt was added in the back, just by looking at it, anyone who has not had their head squeezed by the door knows that it is best not to drink it.

Of course, if Yang Mi insists on drinking, he can't stop her.

So he tried to ask Yang Mi what she meant with a smirk:

"Mimi, do you want to drink?"

"I don't want to, but you have cooked it all, so you can't waste it."

Yang Mi said helplessly, her expression was also very tangled, and her delicate pretty face was about to wrinkle into a ball.

Finally, resigned to her fate, she sighed deeply, and did not forget to remind Bai Piao again.

"Hey, how do you drink it? Next time you put less salt in it, we're almost out of salt!"

"Hahaha, honey, you don't really want to drink it, do you?"

Seeing Yang Mi's serious look, Bai Piao really couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so he had to confess to her.

"Mimi, I boiled this not for us to drink, but for roasting the roe deer skin and bear skin. After it is cooked, let it dry, and we will have two thick skins to use."

"When the time comes to make two leather coats, one for you and one for me, we won't have to be so afraid of the cold, how great!"

"Is it cooked? Can it be used after it is cooked in a pot?"

Yang Mi still asked with some doubts.

She has been in the entertainment industry all the time, and is a child who grew up in the city. She has never been exposed to these things, so of course she doesn't know.

"It's not stewed, it's cooked."

Bai Piao said that he also took their largest wooden barrel, and the water in it had been poured out and emptied.

Put the boiling water mixed with plant ash and salt into the bucket, and then soak the whole black bear skin in it, and put a stone on it to prevent the bear skin from being submerged.

After doing all this, he continued to explain patiently:

"Just cook it like this, do you understand?"

It is better to do it clearly than to say more.

However, Yang Mi still didn't understand. Not only did the doubt in her eyes not go away, but it actually got stronger.

"I understand, but I still don't understand!"

What she said was like a tongue twister, and Bai Piao didn't know how to explain it to her, because he didn't know the specific principle.

So I had no choice but to tell the truth: "When I was a child, I shot wild rabbits with a gun at home, and it burned the leather like this. I have done it a few times and it will be fine."

"This is a rural handicraft handed down from the ancestors. We don't understand why the leather can be used after being treated in this way, but we just know to do it!"

"Wait a minute, you said that when you were a child, you shot wild rabbits with a gun at home?"

Yang Mi's focus was finally no longer on 'cooked bear skin and roe deer skin', she became curious about Bai Piao's childhood again.

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"How old are you?"

"It's just one year younger than you, what's wrong Mimi?"

This time it was Bai Piao who was confused, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, after all, what he said was the truth.

It's just the real experience of the life before he traveled.

"What's the matter? Do you know how big a crime your family has committed? Illegal possession of a gun is a felony!"

Bai Piao: "Huh???"

He didn't quite understand, and he handed in all his own guns later, and he didn't subdue Uncle to come to their house to say something.

Yang Mi is still continuing to say:

"You are one year younger than me, and you were in the 90s when you were a child; and you are from the vicinity of the imperial capital. You also said just now that your hometown is in the countryside, so you must not have any military background."

"Then your family is illegally holding guns?"

Yang Mi's words seemed to make sense, and Bai Piao agreed with what she said.

But he still couldn't help rebutting:

"Er...you can't say that, can you?"

"It's so close to the mountain. Who in the countryside doesn't have a few guns and air guns? Besides, we'll hand them in later, and they're all gone!"

"Stop talking!"

Bai Piao didn't want to discuss this matter any more.

Although they are now in the wild world of Alien Star, they can't go back.

No matter how hard he tried to turn over the old account, he couldn't catch himself anymore, but he just didn't want to bring it up again.

Bai Piao has always known that, except for the privacy of him and Yang Mi, other videos and conversations were broadcast live to everyone on Earth.

There has never been a shortage of keyboard warriors on the Internet, and they can say anything with a tap of both hands.

The family members who traveled through the previous life are the softest place in his heart

Even if they are separated by several worlds, he does not want his family to be discussed casually by others.

This is his final bottom line! !

...

After finishing speaking, Yang Mi helped Bai Piao to boil another pot of boiling water, and then added a few handfuls of plant ash and a handful of salt.

Fill it into another wooden barrel, soak the roe deer skin in it, and put a stone on it.

Everything is ready, just waiting to be taken out to dry after being 'cooked' tomorrow.

They have tanned hides available.
