After washing the skin in the stream, Lu Yuan cut and washed the skinned wild yellow dog meat. Lu Yuan took the skin and meat back to the cave.
Once I was busy, an hour and a half passed before I knew it.
A strong aroma spread out from the cave, which was not too big.
"The gruel is ready."
Smelling the aroma of food, Lu Yuan's stomach suddenly growled after working for a long time.
He picked up the bowl next to him and turned it into a bowl of gruel. He put it to his mouth and blew on it, and then he took the first mouthful.
Although the breakfast porridge is simple, it just contains bacon, a handful of wild vegetables, and finally a little salt. But delicious ingredients often only require simple ingredients and simple methods.
With these purely natural foods, even if they are just cooked into porridge, they are extremely delicious.
At least for Lu Yuan, who had traveled through time and became a stranger in a foreign land, it was already a very happy thing to be able to drink a bowl of hot porridge after waking up.
After finishing his breakfast beautifully and clearing away the dishes, he started to get busy again.
The peeled wild yellow dog skin must be tanned, otherwise it will spoil. The divided bones and meat must also be marinated and smoked, otherwise they will become smelly within two days.
The meat of wild yellow dogs is sour and sour, and tastes extremely unpleasant. Rich people would disdain to eat this kind of meat.
Only poor people would buy it to taste the fishy smell.
Even if it were sold in the market, a pound of wild yellow dog meat might only cost seven or eight cents. Converted to the price of rice, it’s less than three kilograms.
After cleaning up the wild yellow dog meat, there was still about a hundred kilograms left. If they were all sold out, they would only get more than 700 yuan.
With such a small amount of money, after working hard to carry meat to sell at the foot of the mountain, and being exploited several times by gangsters and tax collectors, it would be good to have four hundred coins left in the end.
After all the hard work, you just earn hard-earned money, so you might as well keep it for yourself.
At the very least, no matter how unpalatable the meat of the wild yellow dog is, it is still meat and can replenish physical energy. It is better than eating rice, right?
A raging fire was burning. On top of the fire, salt had been spread on the wooden branches that had been set up. The marinated meat strips were tumbling. Under the smoke of the fireworks, a little bit of grease dripped, making the firewood burn even more vigorously. .
Lu Yuan sat aside, watching the fire from time to time and rolling the meat strips.
Boom!
At this time, there was only a muffled sound coming from outside, followed by a series of huge thunders.
The sound of raindrops came along the entrance of the cave.
From time to time, a strong wind howled, carrying wet rainwater, and passed through the vines at the entrance of the cave, hitting the wooden door with a crackling sound.
The cold wind blew in along the cracks, and the fire in front of me couldn't help shaking.
Lu Yuan glanced at the dark tunnel in the distance, feeling the cold wind and rain, pulled up his collar, turned over the bacon on the fire, and whispered to himself: "From now on, I will live like this." Live like a savage."
…
The next day.
The clouds recede and the rain disperses, and the sun shines.
Lu Yuan raised his sword and bow, opened the wooden door that had been closed all night, and walked out of his cave.
Yesterday, he spent a day working to smoke a hundred kilograms of wild yellow dog meat, and it would only take another two or three days to completely smoke it.
After the delay of these two days, coupled with yesterday's heavy rain, Lu Yuan was a little worried about the trap he had set in the mountains, so he planned to go out to check it out today.
As a qualified hunter, it is certainly impossible to hunt in the mountains and come face to face with ferocious beasts.
Not only is that inefficient, it's also incredibly dangerous.
A mature hunter will master his own wisdom and lay out hidden but effective traps to capture prey.
Lu Yuan's predecessor set up more than ten traps in this mountain range specifically to capture wild beasts.
"It rained heavily yesterday. Many wild beasts must have been frightened. I wonder if some of them were stunned and fell into my trap."
Lu Yuan thought like this in his heart, and couldn't help but move a little faster.
Although a heavy rain may make you gain something. But also because of the heavy rain, the traps you set may be washed away and destroyed.
If it is really damaged, even if the prey falls into the trap, it may find a chance to escape on its own. It is even possible for other beasts to discover the presence of prey and capture their own prey in advance.
In that case, all his hard work would turn into working for those beasts.
Two hours later.
Lu Yuan looked at the two struggling gray figures in his trap and let out a long breath.
"Fortunately, I finally gained something, it's not the worst."
As he spoke, he reached out, picked up the two gray rabbits below, and threw them into the basket he was carrying.
Two rabbits, that's what I got this morning.
After restoring the destroyed trap, Lu Yuan concentrated his consciousness in his mind, and then looked at a new information screen [Hunting Trap (Introduction)] that appeared, and couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.
"Sure enough, as long as I have a certain understanding of a skill, I can turn it into an attribute panel, and then slowly improve it through experience."
This morning, Lu Yuan went to thirteen trap locations one after another. Some were washed away by rain, some were intact, and some were destroyed by wild animals.
These traps were repaired after his inspection.
And in this series of processes, the new skill template in front of me appeared naturally, just like the previous [Archery] and [Sword Skill] templates.
At this time, a complete attribute panel appeared in Lu Yuan's mind.
[Name: Lu Yuan]
[Talent: Immortality]
【Age: 16】
[Skills: Hunting trap (beginner) Simple knife skills (beginner) Simple archery (beginner)
"They're all just entry-level."
Lu Yuan looked around at the skill interface and sighed: "But it's no wonder. He's just a sixteen-year-old boy, and he's still exploring alone. It's pretty good to have these entry-level skills."
Shaking his head, he regained consciousness, then checked his trap again. After confirming that the disguise was fine, he walked down the mountain with today's harvest on his back.
I caught two gray rabbits today. After skinning them and tanning them, the furs can be sold for forty or fifty cents. There are two or three kilograms of meat left, enough to last me two days.
Compared with the wild yellow dogs in the previous two days, this harvest is naturally not much.
But this is common sense.
A ferocious beast like the wild yellow dog can only be hunted by fighting to the death with one's own life.
That's exchanging lives for money.
As for hunting gray rabbits with traps, although the harvest is less, there is no need to take risks, right?
I'm lucky to have picked up two rabbits today.
Normally, it is common for the trap to be without prey for three to five days.
Now that he can get off to a good start and gain something, Lu Yuan is satisfied.
