Falling into the Cretaceous

Chapter 61 Meat Processing

Losing a dinosaur is no small matter.

Everyone present understood the importance of dinosaur livestock; without them, the efficiency of tasks such as transporting grain and water would be greatly reduced.

What could be done by a few people might require dozens, which undoubtedly increases the risks and leads to a severe labor shortage.

It becomes difficult to improve production efficiency.

Lan Yanyan then led Da Pu over.

"Mr. Zhou, don't get angry. Da Pu will definitely find them, and they haven't gone far. Let's hurry and chase after them!"

Lan Yanyan said.

Zhou Jian calmed down and nodded, ready to set off with Lan Yanyan, but Lan Yanyan shook her head.

"I can't go with you, it would take up your time, because I'm very nearsighted," Lan Yanyan said awkwardly, looking down.

Zhou Jian slapped his forehead. He wasn't very familiar with Da Pu. Was this really going to work?

"I'll go with you!"

The speaker was Chen Yue, who came out of the cabin.

"What use would you be?" Zhou Jian asked.

"I've raised dogs since I was a child, and I saw which direction those two dinosaurs went," Chen Yue said. "If we still hesitate, we might really never find them again."

"Let's go together!"

Shen Ye said, taking out two bullets and loading them into the magazine.

Zhou Jian nodded.

"Lead the way!"

Zhou Jian said that Chen Yue immediately walked towards the edge of the forest, and Shen Ye, Zhou Jian, Cui Zhengxi, Sergei, Mike, the reporter and the photographer followed.

Engineer Deng did not follow.

He is now a technician in the camp and is responsible for burning charcoal, so he can't leave at all.

They walked into the forest with a dog on their leash.

Venturing into the forest at night is no easy task, and everyone present was tense. As soon as they entered the woods, it was pitch black all around, and although there were two torches in the group, the space that could be illuminated was still very small.

Moreover, while the torches held high allowed everyone to see the road clearly, they also made them vulnerable to attacks from wild animals outside the torchlight.

Chen Yue and Shen Ye walked together.

As the only woman in the group, everyone looked at her with respect. After all, even a man would be terrified to walk on such a dark road at night.

Moreover, she is a woman.

Shen Ye's attitude towards her also changed slightly.

Cui Zhengxi saw the dinosaur footprints on the ground, grabbed a handful of soil from the footprints, and put it in front of Da Pu's nose so that it could sniff it.

Da Pu quickly realized what kind of target he was looking for.

It first looked around the forest, then quickly walked in one direction, and the group quickly followed.

Wherever they went, the chirping of insects disappeared.

Chen Yue realized that her arrival was of no use.

This Korean man clearly knew how to get the dog to track him, yet he didn't say anything to stop her from entering the forest, which made Chen Yue a little angry.

Fortunately, they didn't have to go very far, because they were heading in the right direction, and Da Pu also caught their scent.

Behind a small hill, they spotted the two dinosaurs, who clearly knew that if they ran away now, they would starve to death.

Because the wooden sticks in their mouths were not removed, it meant they couldn't eat any plants and would starve to death.

Shen Ye and Zhou Jian immediately stepped forward, took control of the tendon dragon and the mother dragon respectively, and rode on the dragon's spine to head back.

Fortunately, no other accidents occurred along the way.

Before long, they returned to the camp.

Some people were crossing the fire, waiting for them to return, while others had already begun to drain the blood from the three little bully dragons.

They used a container made of leather to collect a pot of blood. Although the blood didn't taste very good, it contained a lot of salt and various nutrients.

Therefore, Deng Chao, as the chef, naturally wouldn't let go of these meats.

Because the three baby bull dinosaurs were too heavy, they did not carry them to the campfire, but decided to butcher them on the spot, and have others carry the meat to the open space by the campfire, either on the rocks or on the hull.

In short, just put it wherever there's space.

Of course, the meat hasn't been cut yet; they just have this plan.

As a member of the food procurement team, Lin Ruochu had to find a way to preserve the fresh meat and prevent it from spoiling immediately.

However, she had absolutely no experience.

When she saw Shen Ye return, she immediately ran over.

"Mr. Shen, how should we preserve this meat?"

Lin Ruochu asked.

"Under these circumstances, smoking is the only option. Let's organize people to build a smoking kiln first."

Shen Ye didn't even need to think about it, since they had no other way to preserve food except for smoking, but they would need to build a smoking kiln first.

Making a simple incense burner isn't difficult, but judging from Lin Ruochu's somewhat bewildered expression, it's clear she has no idea how.

"We'll weave a fence directly from shrubs and then enclose a small hut. Remember, the frame of this hut must be made of wood to form a roof frame. We can then tie wooden strips to this basic roof frame to hang pieces of meat. Then, you can burn firewood under the smokehouse to smoke the meat."

Shen Ye said.

Lin Ruochu listened attentively and took notes.

Fortunately, she had a good memory and remembered everything Shen Ye said. When it came to actually doing it, she could keep asking questions or asking men for help.

After all, there are men in her group.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. When you're being impulsive, you absolutely can't use pine wood or firewood with resin, because burning them will produce toxic substances, and the smoked meat will taste bitter," Shen Ye reminded him.

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Ruochu did write it down, but she had no idea where to begin. She wanted to ask Shen Ye for help, but as a team leader, she sometimes had to find solutions herself.

So she found Engineer Deng.

"Mr. Deng, do you really know how to build incense kilns?" Lin Ruochu was overjoyed and wanted to confirm again.

"If it's the kind you're talking about, I can still make it. It's the simplest wooden frame structure log cabin. I'll give you some dimensions; you find someone to cut the wood, and I'll take care of the rest!"

"That's what Engineer Deng said."

"Thank you, you should join our group."

Lin Ruochu said gratefully.

"I'm a technician at the camp now, and I only take orders from Brother Ye, but I can also help you with some things," said Engineer Deng.

After bleeding the three little bully dragons, the fat man immediately cut open their bellies one by one, took out their easily rotting internal organs, and casually threw them onto a rock.

Since there was no way to clean it, and the internal organs were very easy to contaminate the meat, causing all previous efforts to be wasted, the fat man had no choice but to abandon the processing of the internal organs and process the meat and animal hide first.

These are all major projects.

It would take at least five or six hours to get it done.

Lin Ruochu's group is going to be busy, and Shen Ye's biggest worry right now is that the death of the little Tyrant Dragon will attract the adult Tyrant Dragon tomorrow or the day after.

After all, this area had been designated as their territory by their tribe.

It's no longer just about dealing with savages; there's now an even more serious crisis.

Shen Ye is feeling quite overwhelmed right now.

Adult Tyrannosaurus Rex are definitely not easy to deal with. They have seen those big guys fight. If they miss a shot or don't hit a vital spot, they will definitely die.

Moreover, they might have come in groups!
