Chapter 482 You are talented with knives
Almost every household in the tribe was busy processing prey, and Frederick was pulled into the house by Sisson to help.

Sisen contributed the most to the hunt and got a male bear and a stag, which contained about 200 kilograms of meat not including internal organs.

This meat seems to be a lot, but he also has a wife and three children at home, so the average for a family of five is not much.

This type of collective hunting is not something you can go whenever you want. It only happens once in summer and autumn. The rest of the time, you can only hunt small animals such as rabbits, pheasants and squirrels around alone.

It's not impossible to go deep into the forest alone. I don't know if I can come back.

Sisson's eldest son is a fisherman. Today he and his future father-in-law are fishing at sea, and his fiancée Fuli comes over to help collect the prey.

Frederick was a little surprised. This young girl was good at skinning.

Skinning is a technical job. The depth of the knife cut on the skin does not exceed half of the skin thickness, the wound exceeds half of the skin thickness but does not penetrate, and there are holes in the skin. These mistakes will cause the quality of the skin to decline and the skin will not be sold at a good price.

There are also requirements for the location of the fur incision. Not only does the body need to be incised along the central axis, but the limbs must also be incised straight. If it is asymmetrical when unfolded, the quality will also be affected.

The knife in Fuli's hand is fast, accurate and stable, and every cut is no more, no more, no less. Being able to reach this level at such a young age can only be said to be an extraordinary talent.

Frederick was cleaning the internal organs on the side. These are not easy to store for a long time. They will be stewed in a pot tonight and eaten for a few days.

From time to time, he glanced at Fuli who was working hard, which made Sisson worried, fearing that he was poaching his son.

What Sisson didn't expect was that hundreds of years later, in the northern land, Fuli's name would be more revered than Frederick, and every town would have a street named after her.

On the other side, Sisson and his wife cut off the meat, refined the fat into oil, prepared some of the cut meat strips for bacon, washed the other strips of meat and put them in a wooden barrel, and poured in the prepared whey.

Whey is a by-product of cheese making and is often consumed as a water substitute.

Because there are a lot of lactic acid bacteria in whey, which can kill other bacteria, people here use whey to preserve meat for a longer period of time.

At the same time, the meat marinated in whey is more tender and tastes better.

Sisen's second daughter was baking pancakes in the kitchen, and the younger daughter washed the vegetables she had just picked and prepared them to be stewed with the offal.

The Bear Claw tribe is located at a higher latitude. The daytime now starts from 4 o'clock to 23 o'clock, and the night falls for about 19 hours. Further north, there will be extreme daylight. People follow the rule of life of sunset, and the prey has been processed by the time they have dinner after dark. alright.

Frederick was a little unaccustomed to this kind of lifestyle, but when he thought about the 19 hours of darkness here in winter, he couldn't get anything done hibernating at home. He could only grab time in the summer, just like the rain on the construction site that delayed the construction period on a sunny day. Same as coming back.

While eating, Frederick experienced the difference in local lifestyle.

Sisen's wife calculated how long the family's food was expected to last, and determined the amount of two meals a day. When the meals were divided, Sisen and his eldest son, the two strong laborers at home, ate 60 to 70%, and the women and children shared the remaining portion.

Frederick was a distinguished guest, and he was treated the same as Sisson. There was an extra squid in the bowl, which was brought back by their eldest son.

Sisson kept asking Frederick all kinds of questions. He was very curious about the world in the south, but he almost drowned when he fell into the water as a child. From then on, he became severely seasick as soon as he stepped on the deck of the ship.

After Frederick answered "Putting medicine into the blood vessels", he asked Fuli: "Are you interested in becoming a doctor?"

"Me?" It took Fuli a while to realize that Frederick was talking to her.

Sisson also looked at Frederick with curiosity and surprise, thinking that the big man with tens of thousands of cows in his family must have different ideas from his own, so let's take a look.

The head of the house didn't speak, and everyone else also kept silent. Fuli shook her head and said, "I can't do it. I'm not a doctor. I can't even tell the difference between wheat seedlings and weeds."

Talents are scarce here. For example, Razon’s wife Uli is a pharmacist and also a doctor. The first step to becoming a pharmacist is to recognize herbal medicine.

When Fuli was a child, she left weeds in her family's wheat fields and was almost beaten to death by her parents.

Frederick said to her: "I just saw that you were very accurate and steady when you peeled off the skin, so I think you have the talent to be a surgeon."

"Some diseases require incision in the body to treat. However, if the doctor's hands are unstable and he cuts too much or makes the wrong cut, it will cause additional pain or even death to the patient."

"When I go to Cedar Cathedral this time, I will talk to the chief priest about expanding the number of international students. Medical students are an important part of it. You can sign up when the time comes."

Sisson was the first to understand what Frederick meant and asked seriously: "Is it okay to remove the arrowhead stuck in the body?"

It is not difficult to take out the arrowhead. What is difficult is that the patient is still alive after taking it out.

Frederick replied: "Yes, this is one of the basic aspects of treatment."

Sisen put half a bowl of stewed peas with bear offal on the table, folded his hands and thought seriously.

His wife, children, and Fuli didn't dare to express their anger. The youngest daughter hugged the bowl tightly and stopped eating, all waiting for him to make a decision.

Frederick stopped eating when he saw this and stopped holding the bowl.

"Oh, you don't have to worry about me." Sisen waved his hand immediately after noticing that he had stopped, "You eat your food, I'll go out for a while."

Sisen stopped eating and went out with a box of happy water.

Frederick didn't have anything to say, so he took a few bites of his own portion of dinner.

Sisson's wife wanted to help fill another bowl, but Frederick said he was full and immediately withdrew.

There are no street lights in the tribe, and the windows of the houses here are generally small. The roads are dark, and fluffy cats lie on the roadside or on the roof waiting for mice to appear.

The street was filled with the aroma of cooking meat. From time to time, the voices of men bragging about their heroic hunting and the exclamations of children came from the houses. In some houses, the great harmony of life had already begun.

Several rooms looked deserted, with only the sounds of women crying and men sighing.

Some people have little success in hunting and only get a few pheasants or rabbits, not even squirrels with relatively expensive fur. They can only starve for the rest of the day or risk hunting around by themselves.

If the tribe had a surplus of food in winter, they might be able to help them, but they only had some soybean meal and salt, so they could survive until next spring.

Frederick turned around and walked to the back of the church when he saw Sisson and another man of similar age knocking on Larson's door. One of them was carrying happy water, and the other was carrying two large fishes.

The two just handed the things to Larsen, said a few words and left without entering the door, leaving Larsen confused.

Frederick smiled after seeing it. The man with Sisson should be Fuli's father. This matter is probably related to the church's selection of people to study abroad soon.
