Chapter 797: Chapter 781: Having Both Fish and Bear’s Paw

Yue Feng tightened his grip on the spear in his hand, checked the blade to make sure there were no issues, and then turned around to make a gesture to the drone.

Soon, the viewers under 18 in the live stream room, the boar, and the black bear on camera were automatically turned into cartoon versions by the algorithm, as broadcasting such bloody scenes in broad daylight could easily get censored!

With the experience from last night, Yue Feng dealt with the boar much more easily, aiming for the spot where the spine met the neck, he stabbed forcefully, and the boar in the pit incurred heavy damage; with another spear thrust, it quickly stopped moving.

“Ok, guys! Battle over! Next, we need to figure out a way to get these two game animals up!” Yue Feng put down his weapon and turned to adjust the camera’s angle which was fixed in its position.

He then picked up a simple ladder next to the trap and descended with it.

The boar was easy, after reaching the bottom of the well Yue Feng hefted it to gauge the weight, about twenty-some pounds, he then lifted it straight up and threw the deceased boar out of the well.

Having dealt with the boar, the black bear caused Yue Feng no small amount of trouble!

This adult black bear weighed over 180 pounds, and its fur was drenched with a lot of mud and water.

As the temperature plummeted at night, the fur began to form a layer of ice crystals, and after several attempts, he couldn’t easily haul the game up! Yue Feng was really worried about his coat; if it got covered in blood and mud, there were no spare clothes here for a wash! So, throughout the process, Yue Feng was extremely careful.

After a lot of effort, Yue Feng finally thought of a method! He tied the bear’s limbs to the ladder, then, once he climbed out of the trap, he slowly pulled the ladder up.

With a Herculean effort, Yue Feng finally managed to get the black bear’s carcass out of the trap.

The black bear’s form also made its first close-up appearance in front of everyone.

It was a male black bear, over 150cm in length, weighing over 180 pounds; the fur on its lower abdomen was relatively intact. There were more than twenty wounds of varying sizes on its back, neck, and head, with the fatal injury being a ruptured blood vessel on the side of its neck, which led to excessive blood loss and death.

Just by looking at these wounds, one could imagine part of last night’s scene; the battle was extremely fierce!

Yue Feng laid out the black bear and the boar side by side on the ground, posed with a victory gesture for a photo, and the image was captured in a flash!

“Wow, such a big black bear! Feng won’t have to worry about food until the end of the competition!”

“Is breast meat tasty, or is boar meat better?”

“Bear paw! I’ve had it before while visiting Russia, it’s nothing to Feng!”

“Bears and pigs are so cute, why eat them! I can’t help but shed tears watching this!”

“The clever trickster above is naive!”

Yue Feng crouched on the ground, catching his breath for a while; he quickly found the knot and undid the tied spearhead.

“Guys, next we need to process this catch!

For now, the highest daytime temperatures are above ten degrees Celsius, and below zero at night! In such conditions, meat can’t be naturally preserved, so we need to deal with it in a specific way! In the coming time, we need to process this fresh meat as quickly as possible!

I have decided, we should still use the old method for processing this meat – smoking!”

“Smoking is a relatively convenient and fast method for preserving meat without refrigeration in the wilderness! By using the greasy smoke from burning fresh pine branches and leaves, we can smoke and roast the meat to remove some of the moisture and extend its preservation time!”

In places like Sichuan, Hunan, and Guangdong in China, there are methods for smoking cured meat. Given our limited conditions, the method we’re using is a simplified version!”

According to my plan, if we can preserve the meat for about twenty days, the temperature will drop, and then the meat won’t spoil!”

Before we start smoking the meat, we first need to do some preliminary treatment: skinning, cleaning the insides! Once we’ve taken care of this part, next I’ll have to set up an outdoor smoking rack to process these meats. The fireplace inside the house is too inefficient!”

Now, I’ll start working! Everyone, pay attention to the pace of the live stream and watch civilly!”

After saying hello, Yue Feng started to get busy with his military knife.

With the bonuses of the Intermediate Hunter card, Yue Feng’s skills in processing prey had improved by leaps and bounds.

Take this black bear with many wounds for example, if it were before, it would be nearly impossible for Yue Feng to skin it completely!

But now, holding the military knife in hand, there was a clear concept and a mature plan in his mind on how to deal with the prey.

The Blade made an incision starting from the head, skinning with the blade gliding smoothly between the layer of fat and the skin and muscles, skilfully removing it from all areas including the limbs and the abdomen,

Apart from the damage caused by the fight last night, he managed not to tear a new hole.

Once he had finished with the hide, he then sorted the various inner organs meticulously.

Holding nothing but a pinch of salt and lacking any other spices, Yue Feng didn’t plan to further process the animal’s innards. He simply found the heart and the bear gallbladder, took them out separately, and discarded the rest!

The knife tip lifted gently with a slice in the abdomen, gliding along the edges of the intestines and other innards without causing any additional damage.

Then, the saw on the back of the knife steadily cut through along the side of the ribs, and after opening the chest cavity, he found the sources at both ends, stripped away the unnecessary parts, and quickly cleaned out the entire set of organs.

A bear plus a boar, Yue Feng was busy for less than half a morning and had processed everything.

Yue Feng wiped the knife on the hide and stood up, “Brothers, the preliminary processing of the prey is done!

After skinning and removing the innards of this bear, there’s still over a hundred pounds left. The meat quality is even better than I expected!

They eat a lot during this period to store fat for winter, resulting in meat that is marbled with lean and fat. Apart from the red meat, there’s quite a bit of white fat, which is even more precious oil than red meat in the outdoors!”

I’ve taken the bear paws separately; we’ll stew them for lunch! There’s a saying, ‘you can’t have both fish and bear’s paws,’ but today we’ll have both!”

“Damn, Yue Feng, are you sure you weren’t a hunter before? The way you handle the prey, it feels even more skilled than those old hunters!”

“I feel the same way. My uncle has been a pig butcher his whole life, and watching you process the prey, skinning, you seem even more adept than him! Never realized before that you had this trick up your sleeve, Yue Feng!”

“Yue Feng is a man of many talents! Having watched you from a few thousand followers, I gradually realized, you know a lot more than we imagined; there’s nothing you don’t understand! A treasure of a broadcaster!”

“Time to eat meat! Food lovers, let’s get moving. Fish and bear’s paws—we’ll have both, let’s go for it!”
