Chapter 190 Tanning Fur (1)

At this time, Si Ye also came back with prey.

The prey this time was a strange beast with very short legs and long, soft fur. Such "thick" fur is relatively rare in the middle of the hot season.

Wait, fur... can be used to make fur?

Coincidentally, she has been thinking about preparing for fur for the coming cold season these days.

Si Ye has an animal form, and the snow leopard's physique is naturally cold-resistant. As long as there is enough food, there is no need to worry about keeping warm.

But she can't.

Although this body was that of an orc, in her opinion, it was actually no different from an ordinary human being.

Afraid of heat and cold.

Two months from now it will be the cold season that lasts for six months. If you don’t prepare enough cold-resistant tools, it will be a big trouble and you may even be in danger of your life.

Although burning firewood can generate heat, chopping wood consumes a lot of calories, and it is also necessary to consider daily heating of food. It is definitely not enough to just prepare firewood.

So in this primitive era, fur was the most primitive material for winter clothing.

It is easy to obtain in its original state, and most importantly...it is warm enough.

Everything from bedding, blankets, and clothing needs to be prepared, and it would be best if they can be changed and washed. The demand is huge.

She had thought about collecting furs before, but on the one hand, she had not found a better tanning method, and leaving them to rot would be a waste.

On the other hand, it is now the middle of the hot season, and the exotic animals that can be used as fur to keep warm in winter have already completed their shedding period, which is when their fur is the shortest in the year, and it is not yet time for them to grow fur in preparation for the arrival of the cold season.

Even if you spend time on tanning, you can only get a thin animal skin in the end. It is certainly fine to wear it now, but it is completely useless in the cold season. There is no need for it.

But the fur of the exotic beast that Si Ye brought back today is very suitable. It is perfect to be used as a reserve of fur for winter.

"Si Ye, where did you find this strange beast today?" Xia Tian stopped grinding and asked him.

Si Ye dropped the 200-pound beast corpse on his shoulder to the ground with a thud. After a pause, he said, "What's wrong?"

The tone sounds... a little cautious?

[It's funny because I'm afraid Xia Xia will be unhappy.]

[It’s just like me when the teacher called my name in class, I had no idea what was going on]

[No, no, I think Xia Xia's eyes are shining when she sees this strange beast. She must like it very much, right?]

"Uh, you don't have to be so nervous..." Realizing that there might be something wrong with her tone, Xia Tian adjusted herself and asked again.

"I'm just curious. It's the hot season now, and the fur of these exotic animals should be very short. Where did you find an exotic animal with such long fur?"

"Don't you like it?" Si Ye's first reaction was that the beast's fur was too long. Xia Tian, ​​disliking it and finding it difficult to handle, immediately responded, "It's okay. I'll take care of it. I'll clean the fur."

Hunting is actually not an easy thing. Many young talents in the tribe have to go out for several days to bring back a prey. It is not easy for him to go out hunting every day and bring back prey every day.

Today, there happened to be fewer prey, so he had to settle for the next best thing and went to the other side of the mountain and brought back this one.
