It is not easy to handle such a big tiger. It must be divided first and then dried over fire. There is enough salt in the tribe now, so I will sprinkle a little bit on it to add a base of flavor.
In this way, even if you eat it directly, it won't be so bland. It's fine in the tribe and you can eat whatever you want, but it's not so convenient when you go out, especially when hunting. Most of the time, you usually eat it at noon. Dried meat makes do.
The meat will feel better when you gnaw it with some salt, but today the conditions are obviously better. This is just the beginning of such a big prey, and it is not too early now, so I will take care of lunch while processing it.
Tigers are full of treasures, and their meat, skin, and bones are all used in the tribe. Song Xuan wears a tiger skin jacket in winter, which is very warm. Even in winter, he only needs to wear one.
As for bones, they are also good for healing. As a tribe that relies on hunting to obtain food, injuries are commonplace. Tiger bones can speed up the healing of injuries, especially fractures. The effect is very good. Song Xuan also used Shitou at that time. He ate a lot of tiger bones from the tribe.
Song Xuan didn't even need to say this. Teng She's people had discovered the wonderful use of tiger bones in their daily hunting. As for the big thing below, it was the target of everyone's snatching.
Song Xuan was also very greedy when he saw it, but he was alone. There would be no good consequences if he ate this. Shi Meng and the others did not dare to eat it now. After roasting the portion they received, they silently stuffed it at the bottom of their small bag.
Hunting such a legendary beast would have made Song Xuan feel a little guilty when he first came here, but now it is completely gone. He should eat and drink when he should.
After the meal, Shi Meng left some people here to continue processing the tiger meat, while he and others continued to set traps around. With this giant tiger, most of the hunting mission was basically completed. This time, luck came. Not bad, Shi Meng naturally wanted to take more with him back.
Ordinary prey does not need to be so aggressive. A small team of people can handle it. Since there are many groups of wild beasts here, Shi Meng also rearranged his arrangements and divided them into two groups, each with ten people, and there were no Dare to stay too far away.
While setting traps, I hunted at the same time. When I came back in the evening, I brought back a lot of prey:
"Hey, angel, there are so many wild beasts here!"
Shi Meng showed his signature silly smile again.
Of course, this is also luck. Even in this era, not every place has so many prey. If there are relatively ferocious beasts in most places, there are usually not many other animals nearby. This time it is considered a lucky break. The light from this water source.
Going out to hunt is not a hassle, but the most troublesome thing is handling the prey. We don't have to go back on the same day, and for the convenience of taking it away, naturally the cleaner the better.
Every step of skinning, cramping, and making dried meat is not easy. The skin needs to be briefly tanned, otherwise it will become hard when you return to the tribe in a few days.
After peeling off the animal skin, carefully scrape off the grease with a bone knife, then add some plant ash and rub it vigorously. If conditions permit, you will usually dig a hole and soak it in water with plant ash overnight, and then it will be processed. , basically it’s ready for use. You just need to tidy it up a little when you return to the tribe.
However, the conditions in the wild are generally not very good. After kneading, leave it overnight and wash it when you encounter water. This will prevent the animal skin from becoming so hard. You can soak it for a while after returning to the tribe. Pretty much the same.
Although everyone doesn't know the principle, no matter what, the effect is pretty good. At least the animal skin treated in this way is still very soft.
Naturally, tiger skins like tiger skins must be the best if there are conditions. Even if there are no conditions, the best must be obtained. If this kind of animal skin is wasted, it will be a big loss. Such a good skin, even if it is taken out In exchange for things, you can get at least three or four sheep back.
However, this time the tiger skin was not perfect. For safety reasons, everyone did not take care of the integrity of the skin. There were wounds everywhere on it. We had to go back to the tribe and let the women repair it. However, the needles and threads in the tribe were very good. If it's rough, the effect won't be that good, which is a pity.
In addition to meeting the tiger yesterday, Song Xuan had been dealing with the tiger carcass. He was here to hunt. We can all do this kind of work together at night, so no matter what Shi Meng said today, Song Xuan didn't care and just followed him out. .
Song Xuan also knew that Shi Meng was worried about his own safety, but after everything came out, he naturally had to study hard, and Song Xuan also wanted to see if he could find anything useful around him. If he stayed in the camp all the time , then it is better to wait in the tribe.
The first task every day is to check the previously set traps. Although not many were caught, there were still three rabbits, a sheep, and even a wild boar after a inspection.
Except for the wild boar, which requires some effort, the others can be taken down easily, but the trapped wild boar will not make any waves. It is easier to deal with than the target in the tribe. Whether it is a spear or a javelin, if you want It's not easy to pierce the thick skin of a wild boar.
However, the effect of using a sling to hit is extremely good. If a few people take a round, even if they are not killed, they will be seriously injured. Especially everyone likes to throw it with their heads in mind. Basically, they will not be able to throw it from a distance of seven or eight meters. Missed.
If four or five people throw it at the same time, they can at least knock it out and stun it. As long as it loses its ability to fight, it will be easy to deal with later. If you just pick up a big rock and hit it twice, there is no chance that it will survive.
After checking the traps, it’s time to wander around the mountains and plains. Once you encounter one, as long as it’s not particularly ferocious, you’ll be chasing after it. Although the efficiency isn’t very high, there’s basically still a half chance of catching it. Yes, it doesn’t matter whether it’s dead or alive.
Now is the time when there is the most prey. If you try to catch some alive during this period and raise them back, it will be a waste. The number of prey caught in one day now is more than that in several days when winter and spring are about to begin. The task is naturally to try to capture as many prey as possible. Grab some and take them back.
Otherwise, when there are really few prey, it will be impossible to catch them. However, when encountering lone sheep or deer, everyone will think of ways to try to bring them back alive. Those who eat grass are relatively gentle. And the endurance is also much lower, especially the deer nearby. Most of them have big antlers. It is very easy to catch them as long as they are driven to a place with many trees.
