Pet King - Chapter 1575
Chapter 1575: Chapter 1575-sharing
Catgut was a commonly used medical suture, mainly used for suturing wounds that were difficult to remove. With the development of times, the source was no longer limited to sheep’s intestines. However, before catgut was used on a large scale, it was popular to use the tail tendon of a mouse to make the suture.
Compared to sheep intestines, rat tail tendons had many advantages. The main one was that it was easier to raise rats than sheep. Moreover, the human body absorbed rat tail tendons better and had almost no rejection reaction. The disadvantage was that rat tails were short and thin, and the length of the tail tendons was not long enough.
Compared to ordinary mice, the tail of a Beaver mouse was thick and long. Its tail tendon had the advantages of an ordinary mouse’s tail tendon, but it did not have the corresponding disadvantages. It was the most ideal medical suture. However, because Beaver mice were not easy to raise, and the tail tendon was not easy to extract, the price of the suture of Beaver mouse’s tail tendon was very expensive.
Of course, the tail tendon from the tail of a wild Beaver must be carefully disinfected before it could be used, which was what Zhang Zian was doing.
The fat-rich Beaver’s meat had been roasted to a golden color. Large drops of yellow oil seeped out of the meat and gathered together. When the tension of the oil drops could not support its weight, they would drip into the bonfire, and the bonfire would burst into a higher flame, almost licking the Beaver’s meat.
The wolves, who were afraid of fire, were attracted by the fragrance and wandered nearby to peep.
The grilled chicken breast that the elves usually ate didn’t have this much oil. In comparison, this was more like a roast duck.
Even snowy Lionet, who always liked to eat raw meat, was drooling. It couldn’t wait to urge Zhang Zian to stop roasting it, as it wouldn’t taste good if it was burnt.
However, Zhang Zian still roasted it for a while to be careful, until it was well-cooked inside and out, because Beaver rats, as rodents, could also spread many diseases, such as the plague.
He took the two fat Beaver rats from the bonfire. After the meat was cooked, it was easier to separate from the bones than when it was raw. He simply removed the large pieces of meat from the bones. The one with salt was given to famous and Fati, and the other one to fina, old time tea, and snowy Lionet.
…
As for the remaining two sets of skeletons, there was still a lot of meat on them, so he threw them to the wolves who were waiting at the side.
The Wolf Pack didn’t care if it was leftovers or not. The beta wolves of similar status immediately fought each other and broke the bones apart in an instant. With a crunch, they easily chewed the bones to pieces like they were chewing on potato chips.
As for the lower-ranking Omega wolves, they could only drool with their eyes wide open.
Zhang Zian didn’t eat it himself, because the gross weight of each Beaver was about ten pounds. However, after removing the hair, bones, and internal organs, and removing the meat that was attached to the bones, the weight of the large piece of meat might be less than half, which was barely enough for the elves to eat. He was too lazy to clean up the third one, so he didn’t join in the fun. At most, when he was picking the meat for fina and the others, he secretly tore a few pieces of meat and tasted it. It tasted similar to rabbit meat.
Although his movements were hidden, they didn’t escape snowy Lionet’s eyes. It mercilessly exposed him. A stinky man who only knows how to cheat on women!”
When the Elfins were eating, he didn’t rush to cook for himself. Instead, he first took out the tail tendons that were soaked in hydrogen peroxide, put them in a cool place, and waited for them to dry. Then, he began to prepare his own food, which was still a combination of canned food, rice, and wild vegetables.
If Fati and famous really wanted to eat to their heart’s content, one Beaver’s meat wasn’t enough. Fortunately, the two of them were more gentlemanly and each ate half.
“Is that all you’re eating?”
Fati noticed Zhang Zian’s way of cooking. He poured rice, wild vegetables, and canned food into the pot and steamed them together. After stirring them well, he began to eat. Most of them were rice and wild vegetables. There was very little meat in the can, and it didn’t taste very good. It was just edible.
“Hmm, do you want to try some?”
Zhang Zian wiped his mouth. There weren’t many cans left, so he had to consider the way back, so he deliberately controlled the food consumption and just made do with filling his stomach.
Pushing law shook his head.”No need, you can eat.”
After a long time of skinning and cramping, Zhang Zian was already hungry. He didn’t stand on ceremony and scooped the rice into his mouth.
Fati stared at him as he ate, and then looked at fina and the others who were sharing the Beaver’s meat. He asked curiously,””I’m giving you this food on behalf of the Wolf Pack. You have the right to distribute it according to your wishes, but why do you give all the meat to them and not save some for yourself? Even if we split it equally, no one has the right to criticize anything. ”
Zhang Zian thought for a moment, then knocked the edge of the bowl with the spoon.”Because I can still eat rice, and they can only eat meat.”
Fati glanced at famous and asked,””What about us? You can leave some meat for yourself from this Beaver. ”
“Because it’s tougher for you guys. I don’t need to crawl around in the thorns and bushes. I’ll just eat rice.” He answered.
Fati looked back at the heavy backpack that he was leaning against the tree trunk. Although it did not know the exact weight of the backpack, it could tell that it was definitely not light from the vibration when he walked with the backpack and the depth of his shoes in the soil.
There were all kinds of camping supplies in the backpack, including pots, pans, tents, rain equipment, waterproof sleeping bags, and so on. There was enough food to last for many days, and a variety of other items. In order to respect the elves, there was even a food bowl for each elfin … On the first day he entered the forest, the backpack was so heavy that he almost couldn’t keep his balance while walking.
Along the way, he had to do most of the work by himself. The elves could not help in any other aspects except for the task of guarding. Fati had noticed the scratches and blisters on his palm caused by branches, wands, and stones when he was washing his hands by the river after dealing with the dead Beaver.
“You’re like a donkey. ” Fati suddenly said.
Zhang Zian almost spat out his rice!
Was he complimenting her or insulting her?
Although the tourists often called themselves backpackers because they looked like donkeys who were responsible for transporting heavy objects when they carried bags on their backs, they couldn’t call others donkeys so directly, right?
Richard pecked at the dried fruit and echoed,””Kaka! I can’t tell that you have such good eyes! This idiot is indeed as stupid as a donkey!”
“The fate of a donkey is to walk with a heavy burden on its back, to be whipped, and to eat the roughest and smallest amount of food.” Fatui’s eyes gradually filled with nostalgia and longing.”It’s not a shameful thing to be like a donkey. Only those who can endure asceticism can step on the road to becoming a saint.”
