Chapter 122: Work Is Practice
Full of wine and food, nothing to say all night.
In the early morning of the next day, after everyone got up and washed, Leng Rui passed on a divine read to Erniu.
"Second Senior Brother, wait until you go to the city and buy everything according to the above list."
"Okay!" Er Niu agreed and went out.
Wang Damao was very enthusiastic. He was afraid that Er Niu would not be able to find a place because he was not familiar with it, so he took the initiative to accompany Er Niu to go.
The two of them, one on a horse, rushed towards the city quickly.
Wu Fengyan came with a group of women, and said to Leng Rui with a smile: "Brother Leng, I will take them up the mountain to pick camphor leaves. If there is anything here, let the fifth master arrange it."
"It's okay, we can do it ourselves!" Leng Rui also said with a smile.
After Wu Fengyan and her gang left chattering.
Leng Rui started to arrange work.
"Xiaowen, Yingqin, you two boil the ointment from yesterday, just oil, don't add a drop of water." Leng Rui ordered.
"Don't worry! Xiao Leng big brother!" Fan Xiaowen and Hui Yingqin both agreed.
"Brother, we guys need to work harder!" Leng Rui said to Duhu.
"No problem, just tell me!" Dahu patted his chest and readily agreed.
Leng Rui took a small knife and said to Dahu, Bu Jun, and Guan Hua: "The first step of cooked skin is to remove the meat and trim the edges. Later, we will mess up the minced meat and tendons on the skin. All the things are repaired, and then it can be tanned."
While talking, Leng Rui asked Du Hu to help, lifted a piece of snapping turtle skin, laid it flat on a wooden board, rinsed it with water, picked up a knife, and began to carefully scrape off the unremoved minced meat bit by bit.
Dahu looked at Leng Rui as if he didn't know him anymore. Looking at the third junior brother like this, he didn't brag, he really knew how to cook.
"Eldest senior brother, have you seen it? You must be gentle and don't scratch the leather!" Leng Rui asked.
The three of Duhu nodded.
"Okay! One skin per person, let's start!" Leng Rui shouted happily.
Cooperating with each other, the four people lifted three more skins and laid them flat on the wooden board on the ground, each with a knife, and started to work carefully.
Not to mention, the snapping turtle's skin is really difficult to handle, many places are extremely tough, it is very difficult to cut it off with a knife, and it often does not fall off after cutting hard for a long time.
After drying for a while, my fingers are a little sore.
The peeled skin of snapping turtles is not flat, but a rolled-up leather tube. Even if it is pulled out and flattened, and the four sides are fixed to the wooden board with big iron nails, it is not uneven or crooked. of.
The joints of the limbs, neck and body are soft and wrinkled, which is particularly difficult to handle.
Take a small knife and cut off the flesh of the folds bit by bit. It takes a long time to cut a few folds, which is a waste of time.
Leng Rui now misses the meat remover on earth very much. As long as he pulls the leather and walks on the machine twice, the minced meat will be removed cleanly.
Now it is tiring and troublesome to remove the meat by hand, and it takes a long time.
After thinking about it, he brought some Internal Energy in his hand, but unexpectedly, it was much easier at once, and the minced meat was cut off immediately.
"Hey! There is a door!" Leng Rui was overjoyed, and controlled the output of Internal Energy more carefully.
Where there are wrinkles, the Internal Energy is slowly gathered into a thin line, like an awl, gently cleaning the minced meat. On large flat areas, zoom in on Internal Energy and scrape like a knife.
After working for a while, not only was it much easier, but I also gradually gained experience in controlling Internal Energy, how to send and receive, and how to control the intensity.
"This work is also a kind of cultivation!" Leng Rui thought to himself.
He unfolded the power of his soul and sent divine thoughts to the three of Duhu.
"Look at my actions."
The three of Duhu immediately activated their soul power and slowly understood Leng Rui's movements.
After a while, several people looked at each other and smiled, and they all understood what was going on.
The three of Duhu also learned from Leng Rui and began to control the strength and shape of Internal Energy, trying to clean up the minced meat with the help of Internal Energy.
Cleaning up is originally a meticulous job, which requires not only physical strength but also patience. We all know that snapping turtle skin is precious, and we should be careful when we start with it.
After an hour, the three of Du Hu gradually became more proficient, and they had an understanding of the control of Internal Energy, and the output can be differentiated between large and small, strong and weak. Another hour passed, and Leng Rui and others were no longer nervous at the beginning, and their mood gradually calmed down. They just concentrated on their work and didn't think too much about it.
But what they didn't expect was that it was this state of relaxation and selflessness that brought their cultivation to a new stage.
Conscious to force, send and receive from the heart.
It is very difficult to reach this stage without a few months of practice.
Many things are like this. Planting flowers with intentions will not succeed, but planting willows and willows will make shade unintentionally.
The skin of the snapping turtle is very large, curved and wrinkled. Leng Rui and the others worked until the sun was in the west, and everyone finally cleaned up a piece of skin.
This is because they relied on Internal Energy. If only relying on physical strength, Leng Rui estimated that a skilled craftsman would have to work for two days.
There was a sound of horseshoes at the entrance of the village, and then people's exclamations were heard.
A string of carriages came from afar, pulling goods.
In the lead, a brand new wooden boat more than five feet long was pulled by two carriages one after the other.
"Third Junior Brother, the boat you want is here!"
In the distance, Erniu's cry came.
Leng Rui waved to Du and the others and said, "Brother, let's go out and help!"
Although there are many hunters in Zhangmu Village, after all, they grew up by the sea, and they saw a lot of boats.
The boat pulled by Er Niu surprised them. It was just a hull, without masts, rudders, or decks.
The fifth master with a gray beard squinted his eyes for a long time, and said to Er Niu: "Little hero, you have been cheated by others. This boat is not finished yet, so it is useless to buy it back!"
Er Niu smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes! My third brother wants to buy it, but I don't know what to use it for."
Fifth Master sighed and shook his head again and again: "There is no hair on the mouth, so you can't do things well!"
Leng Rui said with a smile: "Fifth Lord, I bought it right, tomorrow you will know what to use it for."
After speaking, Leng Rui commanded two carriages to pull the boat to the open space in front of the ancestral hall.
"Big brother, let's lift it down!" Leng Rui shouted, grabbing the bow first.
"No, no! I'll call a few more people to help!" Fifth Master waved his hands repeatedly when he saw that they were about to lift the boat.
Dahu and the others all smiled, each standing in a good position, even Fan Xiaowen and Hui Yingqin joined.
"Get up!" Dahu shouted, and exerted his arms.
Amid the exclamation of the people, the five-foot-long wooden boat was gently lifted and placed firmly on the ground.
"God man!" Fifth Master called out, opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
The two drivers who followed the carriage were also stupid. The wooden boat weighed several thousand catties. When it was loaded, there were forty or fifty young men with crowbars and cables. It took half an hour to load it into the cart.
Now these children did not take a breath, and they took it off with ease.
The two coachmen felt that their legs were weak, and they felt like kneeling down.
Wang Damao watched from the side, but also didn't say a word.
I have lost my eyes! These few people are definitely not ordinary people, their strength is too scary, I don't know what skills they haven't shown.
"Wang Dage, find some carpenters to make a frame to put the boat up. Cut two holes in the bottom of the boat and plug them with corks." Leng Rui said to the stunned Wang Damao with a smile.
"Why? Digging holes? Brother Leng, this is a new ship!" Wang Damao looked confused.
"Just do as I say!" Leng Rui said with a mysterious smile.
"Brother Leng! We're back!" Wu Fengyan's voice came from afar.
