Boiling it down would be best, if conditions permitted.
But they didn't even have a pot on hand, so boiling was out of the question. Even if they did, it wouldn't be large enough to hold the entire skeleton.
So he prepared to steam it.
"Come give me a hand. Dig a pit, make sure it's deep enough."
"Dig a pit?"
Bartel frowned in confusion. "Why dig a pit?"
"Do you have a better idea for how to break down the rest of the skeleton? If you do, be my guest."
"Uh… no."
The corner of his mouth twitched. He silently took the piece of bamboo Lin Chen handed him and started helping with the pit.
As a professional Deer Hunter, he knew just how tough a deer skeleton was. Unless you had a cutting machine, you'd typically need heavy-duty tools like a cleaver or a chainsaw to break it down by hand.
He was curious to see what method this young man from Great Xia would use to dismantle the deer's skeleton.
