Chapter 317 – 317. Interlude, and a Comma (8)

– One –

Chijik, tadadak.
Rumble.
Tick, drop, drop.

Candles burn

Since the tail was tilted at an angle with the tail facing upwards, it was inevitable that the melted wax would fall down.

It looked as if it was shaking and weeping in fear of falling.

At the point where the candle wax fell,

Big, big.
Kreup.

A suppressed breath bursts out.

However, the sound of his breathing was thin and weak, as if he had lost his pulse, enough to make the urgency that resided in it belittled.

The truth was weak.

“Teacher.”

“Yes, mother-in-law.”

“Yo controls the speed at which the leather dries by applying salt to the inner surface of the peeled leather, salting it, spreading it out on a plaster board and drying it, and in the process, fine needles are applied here and there so that the leather does not shrink or deform. You mean plugging it in and fixing it?”

“That’s right, Jumo. By adding the new process just mentioned right after the previous method, that is, the fat layer is cut out, it is possible to minimize the shrinkage or deformation that inevitably occurs due to thinning of the leather. In that case, it is easy to preserve the texture of the detailed surface, including the muscles, and it is considered that the sense of difference that occurs when leather is applied to the wooden mold can be minimized by uniformly finishing the joints during finishing work. .”

“Really…”

Chiba turned his head and looked at Brora.

Her face was all covered with emotion.

Even so, the work of dripping candle wax on the face of the material does not stop.

Tick, drop, drop.
Krup.
Knock…

Hot candle wax falls on the eyeball of the material, more precisely, on the cornea.

However, neither Chiba nor Bro do not mind that its eyeballs are ripening.

No matter how meticulous the preservative treatment is, the eyeballs quickly rot over time.

Therefore, when the taxidermy is completed, the glass is processed and reproduced in the form most similar to the eyeball that was attached when the material was alive.

Since such a glass work will be the new eyeball of the stuffed animal, the eyeball that the material is currently attached to is nothing more than a useless part that will be cut out.

“Although my teacher, Sir Brora is a genius! I really admire him!”

“No, housewife. Both the master and the housewife gave undeserved attention and unsparing support to this lowly and lowly woman, so this is the result of doing our best to repay it even a little bit.”

The two women warmly exalt each other and praise each other.

By the time they burst into laughter,

Gurgling…
Squeak.

The breath of the material is cut off.

Their merry laughter made the material’s death even more miserable and worthless.

More than a contemptuous sneer.

– 2 –

A few days passed.

Most of the material has been slaughtered and pre-processed, as Chiba was enthusiastic about making stuffed animals.

Prior to her most exciting trimming, she was honing her peeling and trimming skills by trimming the materials given as bonuses.

From the material with the stomach open,

Squeak, squeak.
Tzuyu.
Pop.
Whip, iron.

Chiba pulls out her heart.

Toss it roughly in the bucket.

But there is no gushing blood.

Considering the original function of the heart pain, which is to circulate blood throughout the body, it was a very foreign figure.

“It’s definitely convenient because I’m wearing this protective suit, master. Besides, I put water in the intestines beforehand to finish washing them, soak them in antiseptic solution to drain the blood, and dry them properly, so I don’t feel dirty. It’s good too.”

“It is really fortunate that you are satisfied.

“Hoho. Sir Brora speaks very nicely.”

Spatula, spatula, spatula, spatula.
Zuzu, Zuzui.
Saaaaa

The sharp blade crosses between the muscles of the material again.

Chiba’s eyes also shine sharply.

The chunk of meat, which had been drained of blood and turned blue, could not find any traces of being a human, even though it had clearly belonged to the category of a human not long ago.

The part that can be commonly referred to as the color of the skin was peeled off by Chiba and Brora.

What remains is reddish muscle and white fat layer, even after the blood has drained out.

It replaces the skin.

“Well, maybe it’s because the meat became tender during the additional pre-processing, so it’s much easier to remove the bones or unnecessary parts and save only the necessary parts. After slaughtering, the meat is very tough. Originally time Will this happen after this, Master?”

“That’s right, Jumo. Usually, if the skin is peeled off within an hour or so after finishing the slaughter, it’s easy to work because rigor doesn’t start after death. , If you are not a skilled person, it is very difficult to carry out such a skinning operation, and no matter how fast you proceed, post-mortem stiffening of the whole body will inevitably occur during the skinning operation, approximately eight hours after slaughter. If the material is not positioned in an easy way, it will inevitably be greatly hindered in the work.”

“Ooh. We’ve been in a hurry to maintain the freshness of the ingredients, so it must have been difficult to work on it before the rigor after death was released, right?”

“As expected, you are intelligent, mother-in-law.”

Muscles that were stiff due to post-mortem stiffness are languidly relaxed, and are easily cracked and cut.

Even if you change the position of the material, the joint rotates smoothly because it is no longer stiff.

Judging by that, it seemed that at least two days had passed since the material was slaughtered.

“How did you discover this? Oh, did you even look at the books published by the imperial forensic scientists?”

“That’s right. After learning from books that post-mortem rigor is relieved only after at least two days after slaughtering, the celestial maiden devised several tricks to make use of those two days so that the host mother could work more efficiently and easily than before. I gave it to you.”

“I see! That was the process of draining blood, washing, and drying!”

“That’s right. Thanks to that, her mother-in-law can easily peel and save the parts to be used for stuffing her, so this is also a great reward for the cheonnyeo.”

While they kindly exchange knowledge, their hands and eyes do not stop.

As she meticulously inspects the parts to be harvested and the parts to be saved, she works her hands nonstop.

Such diligence was the driving force that made it possible to obtain dozens of intact hides in less than five days.

Of course, Chiba and Brora don’t do messy, hard work.

For example, removing blood, washing the inside and outside of materials, washing and salting the removed leather, and, among the tasks to be done, embalming or tanning the leather.

They do the work of butchering, slicing, and disassembling, according to Chiba’s taste.

It was also up to them to do noble work, such as molding models of the nose, tongue, gums, etc., Or inserting captured teeth and claws into them.

Blank.
Iron puck.

After throwing the bladder into the bucket, the work of extracting all the parts from the material they were holding was finished.

The stomach, head, and chest of the ingredients were empty, and all that was left was unnecessary bones and a few pieces of meat.

As all the blood and organs inside the material were removed, it was clear that it would be really light in weight.

“It’s over.”

“That’s right, mother-in-law.”

Chiba looks down.

A total of three buckets were placed next to the material.

One was a bucket that held the materials used to make the taxidermy, such as nails, teeth, and femur bones to be used as skeletons.

The other was a bucket containing ingredients to be used as food: heart, lung, liver, large intestine, small intestine, tongue, testicles, and brain.

Of course, Chiba didn’t enjoy it, but it was something she personally collected to give to some of the menial workers who had a hard time assisting them, who were obsessed with cannibalism.

They may be the main ingredient in a stew or, by stuffing and smoking, a secondary ingredient in a sausage.

And the leftover meat and bones will also be used for barbecuing or for making broth.

The last one, like the gallbladder or bladder, was a bucket containing only parts that had no value as food materials, that is, parts to be buried and discarded.

“There you are.”

“Yes, Brora.”

“The hostess has put it well by part, so dispose of it however you like, except for the ingredients used for taxidermy.”

“Hey, Brora. This is…”

A man points to a bucket of things to throw away, such as his gallbladder or bladder.

Brora laughs.

“Why? To cut down on alcohol?”

“Yes, yes!”

“Okay. Things that will be discarded anyway, do as you please.”

Hehe! Yes!”

He smiles broadly and takes the bucket.

The other young men who were looking at it looked at him with envious eyes.

Judging from their reactions, it seemed clear that they had never immediately disposed of the materials they had thrown out for disposal.

Perhaps, for reasons such as being good for stamina, it may have been consumed as the main ingredient for soaked wine or some kind of juice.

But no one seemed offended.

They take the dismantled materials and disappear somewhere.

Some will go to the pantry, some to the taxidermy workshop’s supply warehouse.

Brora took her eyes off their back.

I make eye contact with Chiba in the protective suit.

“House mother. How about having a pleasant discussion with the celestial maiden on how to dispose of the most important and interesting material?”

The corners of Chiba’s mouth go up.

She turns her gaze to a corner of her studio.

There were bitches all over the place.

As if it was on the verge of going mad with fear, it had bloodshot eyes, tears, mucus, and saliva and urine.

Perhaps he had already gone mad.

“Okay. With that as an eye candy, shall we bring refreshments and have some tea time?”

“It’s an honor, mother-in-law.”

Their gaze goes to the workbench.

The mess was already being cleaned up, so by the time the tea was ready, it looked good enough for a temporary tea table.

– 3 –

“It’s the first time I’ve handled a pregnant object, but I hope you handle it a little differently. Master, how would you like to handle that object? If you have a good opinion, please don’t hesitate to tell me.”

“Do you have the opinion of the celestial maiden?”

“Yes. Even if you don’t necessarily follow the teacher’s opinion, I don’t think it’s bad to come up with this or that method to try something new. Other than simply peeling the skin and stuffing it, I can’t come up with a new method easily in my head. .”

As Chiba finishes her speech, she gracefully raises the teacup.

They were still wearing protective suits, enjoying refreshments with only the glass masks removed.

The mottled bloodstains and the flesh that protruded from cutting the skin were still buried, but they didn’t care about it at all.

This was because the materials had already been treated with preservatives and insect repellents through disinfection, so it was clear that unpleasant things such as contracting contagious diseases or parasites would not happen.

In fact, it was a small secret that was tacitly kept between them that it was more because they liked the subtle bloody scent mixed with the tea fragrance rather than the hygienic part.

“The celestial maiden would like to recommend making it in a form that can emphasize the fetus.”

“You mean the shape of the fetus? How?”

Chiba’s eyes shine.

Since she participated in Eros Paradise, she became infertile.

This gave her vague fantasies and expectations about her fetus and young, and that was the main reason she treated bitches in a special way.

“I think there are two main ways. First, cut it in half using a sharp saw, and then store it whole in a sample bottle with preservative solution. In that case, the There may be a downside that it is difficult to feel the taste of the hand, but there will be an advantage that it can preserve all the details that are crushed or lost in the production process.”

“Huh…”

Chiba’s eyes shine.

She visualizes her finished product in her mind.

I look at the bitch rolling her bloodshot eyes pathetically, as if I can’t associate it with just thinking about it.

“It’s a sample… I’ll consider it for now. And what about other methods?”

“Secondly, it is embalming to preserve the fetus as it is without removing its organs. The only problem is that it cannot be done completely with the current technology. As the mother-in-law knows, , Currently, the taxidermy technique possessed by the celestial maiden is a method of adding leather peeled from the material onto a mold made by carving wood. Why don’t you use a painted sculpture or replace it with a glass work?”

“That’s right. The reason for using such substitutes, obviously the master said, is because of corruption and transformation, right?”

“It is.”

As if feeling sorry for Brora, she bowed her head deeply.

She seemed genuinely ashamed of her own lack of skills.

“If we replace the things that are prone to deformation with other sculptures and proceed with the method of making a stuffed animal by keeping the shape of the fetus as much as possible while keeping the womb open, will the work difficulty increase too much?”

“That’s right, housekeeper. It’s impossible with current technology to save even the smallest details. Therefore, in order to proceed with stuffing in the second way, you have to keep it alive for a while, or you have to embalm it right after it’s slaughtered and freeze it. “

“Hmm… If you keep them alive, the deadline is right before giving birth, right?”

“That’s right. If you freeze and store it after slaughtering, you will be able to get enough time, but there will be a cost problem when storing it for a long time, and no matter how perfectly preserved and stored, the problem of discoloration of the flesh There will be no stopping it.”

“It’s difficult…”

Chiba gently lowered her head.

He frowned and fell into trouble.

Looking at her white nape,

Gulp.

Brora swallows her drool.

He didn’t know that, but Chiba didn’t care at all.

It was because she was convinced that what she was doing was a feeling initiated by her loyalty.

How long has it been?

“Then…”

After thinking about it, Chiba opens her mouth.

The bitch’s eyes tremble.

I was afraid.
