Lin Yu'an selected a deer heart, deer liver, a whole deer head, and a sizable deer stomach from the pile of "spoils of war."
"These are the parts of the deer that spoil easily but are the most essence-filled."
"Tonight, I will use them to make a sumptuous dinner!"
He first dealt with the sizable deer stomach, turning it inside out and using stream water to rinse away the residual grass and mucus inside.
Then, he sprinkled a layer of dry Ashes of Grass and Wood on the surface of the deer stomach, vigorously rubbing with both hands.
"Ashes of Grass and Wood is a natural cleaner. It is somewhat alkaline and can effectively remove dirt and part of the odor from the surface of the deer stomach."
After rubbing for about ten minutes, until the slippery feel of the deer stomach surface was noticeably reduced, he thoroughly rinsed off the grime with water.
Then, he placed the deer stomach into a previously fired clay pot, letting it soak in water filled with Ashes of Grass and Wood.
