Farming in the Beast World: I Lead the Orphan Beast Husband to Become Rich
Chapter 55 Fish Skin
After asking the witch about the origin of the black oily water, Lin Xi returned home satisfied.
Wu probably guessed that Lin Xi was going to come up with something new, but she didn't ask any more questions.
She believes in their wise men. When the time comes, the wise men will always speak!
The sky was much darker than when Lin Xi just came out. Lin Xi looked up at the sky, wondering if it was going to snow again.
She quickly returned to the cave and closed the door tightly.
The fire in the fireplace has hardly been extinguished recently. The table that Wu Chen had made before was placed under the window next to the fireplace. Lin Xi sat on the chair next to the table and breathed a sigh of relief when she felt a little warmer from the fire!
The illness of the past half month was simply a torture, she didn’t want to be sick again!
She got up and added some firewood to the fireplace, then boiled a pot of hot water. The pot was placed on the left side of the fireplace, on a small pile of stones near the edge of the fire hole, so that the water could be boiled while the fire was lit.
This water is for drinking at any time. It is kept boiling in the fireplace and added with water when it dries up.
After filling the fireplace with fire, Lin Xi thought for a while, went to the shed outside, and brought back a few fish.
She wanted to make an oil lamp, but not just an oil lamp, she also wanted to make a lampshade.
But there is no paper here, and she only has a vague understanding of the paper-making process. It would probably take a lot of time to figure it out.
Therefore, the only materials Lin Xi could think of for the lampshade were animal skins or fish skins.
But animal skin is too thick. In comparison, fish skin is more light-transmissive.
And she happened to have known some ethnic minorities before and knew how to make fish skin clothes, so maybe it would work!
So she deliberately picked a few slightly larger river fish.
Perhaps the method of tanning fish skin would be slightly different in each local area of that ethnic minority, but what Lin Xi learned was relatively simple.
She first used a bone knife to cut an incision under the fish head, then cut along the fish's spine, and then peeled off the fish skin little by little along the incision.
Fish skin is a bit slippery, and if you don't have experience, your hands holding the fish skin will often slip off accidentally.
Lin Xi cut very carefully and slowly, but after peeling off half of the fish skin, there were still four holes in it.
She looked at the fish skin in her hand and sighed, thinking that it was scrapped.
But it’s normal, it’s the first time here!
She put the skin aside and continued peeling the other half.
After a while, the fish skin on the other side was also peeled off, but this one was fine, with only a small hole at the end.
Lin Xi cut off the part with the hole, then turned the fish skin over and began to carefully scrape off the remaining fish meat with the back of the bone knife.
This time she was more patient, moving it almost inch by inch. Fortunately, the result was good, and the fish skin was still intact after being processed.
After processing the fish skin, Lin Xi looked around in the cave, and finally went outside the cave and found two leftover wooden boards that had been used to make a table.
She stuck the fleshy side of the fish skin onto the wooden board, smoothed it out, and then put it aside.
Then proceed with the remaining few fish.
Time goes especially fast when you are doing things seriously.
It took Lin Xi nearly two hours to peel the skins of five fishes in total. When she finished the last fish and came to her senses, she was shocked to realize that so much time had passed!
She walked to the door, opened it, and looked at the sky outside.
The light was dim, it was getting dark, and the orcs who had gone out would be back soon.
It's time to prepare dinner.
Lin Xi walked into the shed, took a look at the shed that was already filled with various pieces of meat, thought for a while, and finally dragged out half of a giant pig beast.
He also took a pig's heart and lungs.
The animal offal was something Lin Xi remembered to ask Wu Chen to leave behind after he started fishing recently.
Before this, the entrails of the prey were thrown away.
When Lin Xi first thought of this, he felt extremely heartbroken!
But she was a little confused. Carnivores should not be averse to offal, but as half beasts, orcs did not like to eat offal very much.
I don’t know if it’s because of the factor of human form change.
Unable to figure it out, Lin Xi took all the food back to the cave.
She first washed her hands several times with water, and rubbed the wood ash on her hands repeatedly each time.
Because of handling those fish just now, her hands now smell extremely fishy. Even after washing them many times, the fishy smell is still there.
She thought that she would try to use the pancreas of pigs to make hand-washing soap when she has time.
Lin Xi stewed half of the giant pig beast and roasted the other half, and made soup with the pig heart and lungs along with red grass.
When the meal was ready, Wu Chen just rushed home.
Lin Xi quickly told him to wash his hands and eat.
But after Wu Chen walked into the cave, he carefully put the bag he brought in on the ground.
Lin Xi watched his careful movements and thought he had picked up the gray eggs again.
The gray chicken is a bird that is not afraid of the cold. Even though winter is approaching, there are still many of them in the woods.
After Wu Chen knew that Lin Xi liked to eat gray eggs, he would try to bring back a few nests of eggs for Lin Xi almost every time he went hunting.
Now Lin Xi has collected enough eggs to fill four large fruit shell basins!
But unlike what Lin Xi thought, there were indeed gray eggs in Wu Chen's bag, but in addition to that, there was something else carefully wrapped in animal skin.
Wu Chen took out the small packages very carefully, as if he was afraid that he would crush the contents if he used too much force, and put them on the table and opened them.
Inside was a green plant that was already somewhat wilted.
"Xixi, this is the green pearl grass that you asked Chief Bai Nu to help you find."
Wu Chen looked at Lin Xi and said.
When Lin Xi saw the full picture of the plant, he had already guessed its name.
Because it looks so similar to its name.
Whether it is its main trunk or its branches, it looks like a layer of green skin covering a layer of transparent flesh.
Its leaves are shaped like small balls, and the color is clearer. Lin Xi thinks that if it is placed in the sun, you should be able to see the light and shadow on the other side of the ball!
No wonder it is called green grass!
At this time, Wu Chen continued to explain to Lin Xi: "It is winter now, and there is very little green pearl grass. It will not grow again until next spring. Leader Bai Nu said that he will find more for you then."
After hearing this, Lin Xi quickly shook his head at Wu Chen and said, "No, Wu Chen, you don't have to go out of your way to look for it. When you go out again, tell Chief Bai Nu to dig it up if you see it."
After all, she was not sure if this thing was edible, nor was she sure if she could feed it.
The most important thing is that even if you can eat it, there is no need to rush.
The eastern forest was too dangerous in the spring. She didn't need to let the orcs take risks for such an unimportant food!
