Liangjiangkou, Qin army camp!

"Military advisor, the King of Qin is back with dozens of sheep!" Liu Bowen was handling official duties in the camp when he suddenly heard the small school at the door coming to report.

Liu Bowen smiled and said, "The King of Qin is intent. It is because General Gan led people to clean the river. He specially bought dozens of sheep to improve the food for General Gan and the others."

"King Qin, leave these sheep to me. Let's eat yam soup tonight!" After entering the water army camp, Cheng Yaojin said to Li Chen.

"eat!"

"You have a greedy mind. I have great use of these sheep. Whether we can cross the river depends on these sheep." Li Chen glared at Cheng Yaojin and cursed with a smile.

Li Chen's words made Cheng Yaojin confused. Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and said to Li Chen: "King Qin, you just buy dozens of turtles. I believe you say that they can carry us across the river. But this sheep doesn't have water, so how can they carry us across the river?"

When Li Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "It's really okay, these sheep can really carry us across the river."

At this time, Liu Bowen happened to come over and hear all this. Liu Bowen was shocked and thought to himself, how could these sheep be able to cross the river?

"King of Qin, what are you doing?" Liu Bowen also asked with a confused look on his face.

Li Chen smiled and explained: "The wooden raft and bamboo raft have little buoyancy and are too low in load, so it is not suitable for navigation in the big rivers. I want to use these sheep to make something called sheepskin rafts. This sheepskin raft is very light, has a high buoyancy and has a high load."

Liu Bowen: "???"

Cheng Yaojin: "???"

All generals: "???"

Li Chen's words made the people who were doing it even more confused. This sheepskin raft was something that was invented during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, no one has ever heard of what a sheepskin raft was.

"Hey, I can't explain it clearly. I'll make one, and you will understand." Li Chen explained to everyone.

Making sheepskin rafts requires high slaughtering skills. Open the neck of the sheep and slowly remove the entire skin in one goat without cutting any fur.

After removing the sheepskin, blow air to expand the skin and fetus, then pour a small amount of clean oil, salt and water, and then tie the head, tail and limbs of the skin and fetus tightly. The skin and fetus that have been dried are yellow-brown and transparent, looking like a bulging cylinder.

People kill a sheep, peel it a piece of skin, blow it, dry it for a month, and apply it all over oil.

Use hemp rope to tie the hard ash willow strips into a square wooden frame, then tie several wooden strips horizontally, tie one leather tires under the strips in sequence, and the leather raft is made.

The steps to make this sheepskin raft are difficult, and they are not simple. The difficulty lies in the fact that the skinned person requires very advanced technology. Anyone who cuts a little skin in this process will not be a big deal. If the sheepskin leaks halfway, it will be a matter of life.

Another point is that after completing all the steps, a piece of sheepskin has to be dried for a month and completely dried. In this way, the sheepskin can withstand the blisters and be used for a long time.

But this is not a problem. Li Chen did not plan to use this sheepskin raft for a long time, just have it temporarily. It is too late to dry it, just use fire to dry it.

"Come here, come and find me all the best knives and the best knives in our camp." Li Chen ordered to his subordinates.

Cheng Yaojin thought to himself, the prince seemed to want to eat mutton, which made the best knife skills come and the best fire skills come. Isn’t this just cooking?

Not long after, the school in the camp brought two people from the camp. The two soldiers never expected that they would have the day to see the King of Qin.

"Who has the best knife skills?" Li Chen asked to the two of them.

"I'm, I'm." One of the leading soldiers responded incoherently.

"Pick me a piece of sheepskin and peel it out in one piece. There should be no hole except the four hooves and the head and tail."

"Can it be done?" Li Chen asked the man.

"Yes! Yes!"

"My ancestors' eight generations are all butchers, so it's not difficult!"

"If I let there be an extra hole in the sheepskin, you don't need to say that there are a few more holes, I will just put a few holes on my body." The leader promised confidently.

"good!"

"Then among these sheep, you can pick the fattest and largest sheep and peel it for me." Li Chen ordered to this person.

If you are skinning a sheep, it is not difficult for those who are good at it, and it will not be difficult for those who are difficult. For a professional butcher, this is a basic skill. Don’t shake your hands when peeling, be careful, and basically you won’t destroy the sheep’s skin.

About half an hour later, the whole sheepskin was peeled off. Li Chen threw the sheepskin to another soldier and said to him: "After removing all the wool, apply a layer of oil on the outside, and then bake it on the fire. Apply a layer of oil until it is completely dried."

"Remember to keep away from the fire when baking and do not hurt the sheepskin."

Apply oil the sheepskin. Baking has no technical content, just be careful when baking.

Li Chen called out a lot of soldiers to help peel and bake the sheepskin together, and the entire camp was busy.

When the generals and officials in the camp heard that the King of Qin was looking for a chef to build a ship, they thought this was very new, so everyone gathered to watch the fun.

Tonight, Li Chen had a rare rest, so he watched it all night. When it was almost dawn, the dozens of sheepskins were dried.

"Strengthen the four hooves and neck!" Li Chen ordered to his subordinates.

After his soldiers tied the sheepskin, they handed it over again. Li Chen signaled to hand it over to Cheng Yaojin.

"Yaojin, it's time for you to make contributions! Blow the air into this sheepskin." Li Chen ordered Cheng Yaojin.

"King Qin, I, Cheng, don't want to make this contribution. Otherwise, you can change someone?" Cheng Yaojin said embarrassedly.

Why did Cheng Yaojin say that he didn't want to stand up for this credit? This sheepskin was a ram. After the four hooves and neck were pierced, the rest of the ones that blew into it was not exactly that place. How could Cheng Yaojin get out of his mouth?

Cheng Yaojin is a blessing. If you don’t know what you are sure of, you can bring some blessings if you ask this kid to do it. Li Chen also made the method of making this sheepskin raft based on his memories of his previous life. It is hard to say whether it is specific or not.

Therefore, the first sheepskin for Cheng Yaojin to blow, which was also a blessing from this kid.

"No, you are our blessing general. This first sheepskin must be done!" Li Chen said with a face.

The order from the King of Qin was issued, and Cheng Yaojin had to blow it even if he didn't blow it, so he blew the sheepskin with his teeth.
