Chapter 262 Primitive Beast World Cubs 36
After a while, we removed the main body of the cedar tree, cut off all the branches, and left the bare main body. But that wasn't enough.
It's best to clean the cedar wood before using it, but that requires a woodworking plane, which can be used to smooth and thin the wood.
Such a great tool, it's a pity she doesn't have it.
Then we'll have to do it manually. First, we'll use an axe to scrape off the outer layer of the cedar wood, revealing the white bark underneath, and then we'll use a machete to polish it little by little.
If a cedar tree is too long, it needs to be cut in half. If there are any large knots or lumps on the main body or branches, they need to be chopped off with an axe to make it flat.
The process must continue until only the bare trunk remains before it can be felled into planks and then sanded smooth enough that it won't cut your hands.
Only when it reaches that stage can it be considered a rough wooden plank, and she needs many of these planks, not only to make a bed, but also to cover the floor of the entire house with planks.
However, these were just ideas in her mind. In reality, she had only just taken the first step of removing the excess branches from the tree.
"Mother, I'm back!"
Cang Ye's excited voice could be heard from afar. Although he was still a young wolf, he was very strong and powerful.
Shen Ci put down his tools and looked. Cang Ye was dragging a wild boar that had already been killed with one hand, and with the other hand...
They were even leading a foal!
This foal is the most common reddish-brown color. It looks very small, not even as tall as the cows at home. The foal has several loops of vines around its neck.
The wolf cub held the vine in its hand, looking quite spirited.
"You've caught a foal!"
"That's wonderful, sweetie!"
Shen Ci praised, "Now the little wolf cub can accept his mother's praise with ease and even show a proud smile."
This is a form of self-affirmation, a genuine recognition of one's own value.
"Mother, you don't have four legs, so you often walk very slowly."
You said you could ride a horse, so this is the one I caught for you.
It's still a pony, it can be tamed, and I even caught a wild boar!
Cang Ye said proudly, eager to show off his abilities. Always the toughest and most resilient, Cang Ye actually bit through the wild boar's neck.
However, this wolf is also a very careful one. It bit off the wild boar's neck, so its mouth should have been stained with blood, but now there is nothing on its face or mouth.
It looks like it was cleaned before it came back.
"Thank you, this is very useful to me. Good boy, you've worked hard."
This wild boar is now in your hands. You've already mastered the skills of preparing and storing meat.
You've worked hard, but there's something even harder: we need to use this wood to make beds and planks.
You are stronger now, so your mother will teach you new skills.
Shen Ci praised, saying that the orcs did not seem to be resistant to learning new skills. On the contrary, they felt that only their closest orcs would pass on their skills for making a living.
So whenever Shen Ci wanted to teach him something, the little wolf cub never felt impatient or tired; on the contrary, he was enthusiastic and very excited.
There are no cell phones to play with here, so what else can I do besides work and learn new things?
"Okay, Mother, where should we put the horse?"
Cangye was even more excited; his mother was about to teach him a new skill! For orcs, having an extra survival skill meant having an extra ability to survive in this world, which was extremely important!
"Leave the horse to me. Go tie it up and get some grass for it to eat."
"Go and smooth the tree trunk now, and scrape off all the bark."
Shen Ci instructed, "That's good too. Those who are capable should do more work, and the little wolf cub is very smart. He'll learn quickly and know what to do in no time."
This home doesn't belong to her alone; it needs to be built together by everyone who lives here.
Then look at the foal that the wolf cub brought back. It seems to have a very gentle temperament. All the animals here are wild, and they all have very bad tempers, especially the adult animals.
Therefore, if you want to tame a horse, it's best to start taming it from a young age. But this little horse is exceptionally docile, which may be because it's been frightened by wolves.
Shen Ci led the pony to a tree to get some hay for it. As soon as she touched the pony's back, she felt it trembling all over.
Upon closer inspection, the foal was indeed trembling, and even its teeth were making a barely perceptible, slight sound.
Is this little pony really that frightened?
Shen Cile was amused. This horse was quite clever; knowing it couldn't beat the wolf, it simply submitted and accepted its fate. It was quite human-like.
Shen Ci brought some hay and water and placed them in front of the foal. Then he left it alone and let it adjust on its own. That's how it is when a new animal comes home. You put out the food and water and let it stay quiet for a while.
After settling the horses in, I looked back and saw the little wolf cubs working enthusiastically!
He swung the axe with both hands and chopped at the tree repeatedly. In no time, the first tree was smoothed out.
Unlike those branches that have been cut off, leaving only a layer of sawdust and bark on the ground, this one is different.
The powerful cub, Shen Ci gave him a thumbs up.
After the wolf cubs finished cleaning up the trees, Shen Ci began to deal with the dead wild boar.
Now, she has gone from hesitant at the sight of blood to being able to cut into a still-warm wild boar without batting an eye.
Wild boars have thick, tough skin, making it difficult to skin them directly with a knife like other animals.
So Shen Ci first boiled a large pot of water and put the wild boar into the bucket. Since they got these tools, they would make more furniture in their spare time.
Now, we have a lot of wooden furniture at home, including pots, pans, small stools, and wooden basins and buckets.
Although it is not very refined, it is already the most exquisite creation in this primitive world.
Throw the wild boar into a wooden bucket and pour in boiling water. Begin plucking its hair, using a wooden knife and a stone knife together. The hot water will soften the wild boar's rough skin.
Soaking the wild boar in hot water makes it easier to scrape off its tough hairs.
When Shen Ci was a child, she would watch the village slaughter pigs every year. As a child, she would always watch from a distance, but now she does it herself.
The pigskin was softened by the hot water, and it became much easier to handle after being soaked. This wild boar was black, and of course, it's rare to see a wild boar as white and tender as a domestic pig.
