Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

When it comes to skills and knowledge in training and handling hunting dogs, Yue Feng is far inferior to his master Zhao Dashan.

The point of view expressed by Zhao Dashan actually follows the same logic as that of imprinted birds of prey, sables, fawns and other animals.

Having said that, many people may find it hard to understand, after all, we don’t see these rare animals on a daily basis.

To give the simplest example, a newly hatched duckling will recognize whoever it sees as its mother at the first sight and follow that person wherever they go.

The same goes for cubs with wolf blood. If a female wolf runs away with her cubs and goes deep into the mountains, she will raise the cubs on her own.

The grown-up cub thinks that he is a wolf cub, and when he grows up he will be a wolf with impure bloodline but full of wildness.

If there is a problem with the innate imprint, no matter how hard one tries to domesticate the animal, it will be difficult to make up for the defects in the animal's cognition.

On the contrary, if you take the wolf cub out before it opens its eyes and raise it as a puppy, after the puppy opens its eyes, it will think of itself as a dog and become closer to humans.

After some systematic training, the effect of domestication and familiarity can be achieved.

Yue Feng scratched his head: "We have to choose a date. If it takes too long, the kid will grow up and it will be difficult to handle!"

Zhao Dashan grinned and said, "Under normal circumstances, the wolf cubs on our Changbai Mountain open their eyes in nine to twelve days!

The female wolf no longer has the support of the wolf pack, so her ability to hunt for food is greatly reduced. Overall, her physical condition will definitely be slightly affected.

Even if we keep our eyes open for eleven or twelve days!

Starting from the time Canglong sneaked out in the middle of the night for the first time, the wolf cub must have been born in about forty-five days, and its eyes haven't opened yet!

What you hold on to cannot be wrong at all!"

"Yes! Okay, Master, you can calculate the time, I don't care! Uncle, are you still coughing up blood during this period? How is your recovery?"

Yue Feng nodded at his master and looked at Wu Keji again.

Wu Keji smiled and nodded: "Not bad, your master keeps making delicious food for me. I've been in the mountains for so long, I've gained weight!"

"Hey, just get a little fatter. If you need anything, just tell me. I go to the city every now and then, so it's easy to buy supplies!"

Yue Feng got a positive answer and felt quite relieved.

The three of them chatted for a while in the house. At noon, the old man said that they would have a couple of drinks with some hard dishes. Yue Feng didn't have anything urgent to do during the day, so he spent most of the day on the mountain with the two elders, drinking and eating meat.

After having a good meal and drinking, Yue Feng played until around two in the afternoon and then rode his motorcycle down the mountain and returned home.

Over the next few days, Yue Feng's body aches gradually faded away, and his life returned to normal.

The snow on the mountains in Hucheng began to melt as the temperature rose, and the situation was similar on the back mountains in Fengcheng.

There are also ordinary hunters who go into the mountains to hunt during the last moments before the spring thaw. Teams like the Yuefeng Hunting Team, which no longer lack a piece of meat, have basically put down their guns, allowing the livestock in the mountains to recuperate and give birth to a new round of life.

The days passed by unknowingly. There was no need to go up the mountain anymore, so Yue Feng focused more of his energy on accompanying his wife and running the village.

Don't forget that Yue Feng is still the acting village official.

Ever since my father-in-law Wang Jianguo was promoted to work in the town and divided the village business between Yue Feng and Zhang Junhong, the atmosphere in the village has changed a little.

Zhang Junhong is old, well-known in the village, and is thorough in his work.

As the village director, he is responsible for daily affairs. He will only find Yue Feng, the acting secretary, when there is a need for a meeting or when there are documents to be conveyed by superiors.

Unconsciously, Zhang Junhong's voice in the village has increased significantly.

Many matters, big and small, were organized clearly by him.

Even many villagers were secretly muttering behind their backs that when the day of the election came, Zhang Junhong might be able to get a few key D-member votes and completely replace Yue Feng, who was younger and less experienced.

Yue Feng didn't have any worries in this regard. He was not obsessed with power. If he could do it, he would do it. If he couldn't, it would not affect his good life.

When I took over this business, I just thought that being a village official would make it easier for me to do some practical work for the folks. I didn't really have much selfish motives.

When he was free, he was thinking about how to use his current identity as the village secretary to do something practical for the villagers and find more ways to make money.

It's true, with the help of the memory plug-in of the reborn, Yue Feng really sorted out a lot of things that ordinary villagers in the village can do at this stage.

As mentioned before, to make a living from the mountain, the first thing to do is to purchase and distribute mountain products.

As the ice on the mountain has thawed, it is time to harvest mushrooms, medicinal herbs, wild vegetables and other things. As long as they are organized and scaled up, they will be able to generate income and bring benefits to the villagers.

The second point is squirrel breeding!
The grey squirrels in the red pine forest begin to give birth in March and April. If you want to raise squirrels, you must raise the first generation of squirrels. After they reach sexual maturity, they can be used as parents to breed the next generation.

However, the difficulty of breeding this thing is much easier than that of sable. It is not afraid of people. The cubs can reach sexual maturity at eight to ten months and pair up for reproduction.

An adult squirrel can produce three to four litters of cubs a year. The breeding efficiency of the population is extremely high, and it only takes a maximum of one year to see economic benefits from the return on investment.

After making up his mind, Yue Feng used his position as acting secretary to convene a meeting of villagers' representatives.

This was the first villagers' representative meeting that Yue Feng had convened on his own initiative since he took office after the Chinese New Year. When notifying all villagers through a loudspeaker, Yue Feng had to rehearse it several times before he mustered up the courage.

When the appointed time came, the person who came made Yue Feng frown.

Xing'an Village is a natural village with more than 300 households. After Yue Feng called for a meeting through the loudspeaker in the village office, less than one-fifth of the village representatives showed up.

Moreover, Yue Feng made a special observation and found that almost no relatives or familiar friends who were close to Zhang Junhong came, which made Yue Feng feel a little unhappy.

At this time, an old man in the alley asked curiously: "Xiao Feng, what is the main purpose of your calling the villagers to the meeting?"

Yue Feng took a look at the sparse number of people coming to the village office. Many of them were his father-in-law Wang Jianguo's team, and most of them were elderly people.

The situation is a little tricky. There are very few people. Should this meeting be held or not?

In this situation, it is too late to ask my father-in-law for advice. I must make a decision!

Yue Feng immediately said, "Uncle, please wait a moment. I will use the loud speaker to call you one last time. I will not force you to come if you don't want to.

Today we convened a meeting of village representatives to find some ways for everyone to make money. If others don't want to come, we can make money on our own!" At this time, the shop owner Li Yinhua heard the news and asked with shining eyes: "Secretary Xiao Yue, what is the way? Tell us first!"

Others may not know how thick Yue Feng’s thighs are, but Li Yinhua knows.

She had gone to Yue Feng's home to find Yue Lei more than once, hoping that he would help her intercede and find some way to make money, but it never happened. Now that she heard the news, she was very excited.

Yue Feng glanced at Li Yinhua and said, "Aunt, please wait a moment. We won't keep you in suspense! We'll get everyone's opinions later!"

After saying this, Yue Feng immediately tapped the microphone: "All village representatives, please pay attention. All village representatives, please pay attention.

Five minutes later, the village office will start a mobilization meeting for villagers to share their ways to get rich. If you haven't come yet, hurry up! If you don't come, you will be deemed to have given up the relevant opportunity!

I'll say it one last time. In five minutes, the village office will start a mobilization meeting for village representatives to share ways to get rich. If you haven't come yet, hurry up. If you don't come, you will be deemed to have given up the relevant opportunity!"

After the loudspeaker finished shouting, Yue Feng looked up, glanced at the time, and waited patiently.

Five minutes was neither long nor short. A dozen village representatives came one after another. When the time was up, Yue Feng asked his mother-in-law to close the gate.

Official meeting starts!
Yue Feng took a high stool and sat down near the north room, then gestured to the villagers who were sitting on small stools in the yard.

Soon, the scene became quiet. No one knew what Yue Feng, who still had a somewhat childish face, was up to!

Yue Feng said: "Thank you uncles, aunts, grandpas and ladies for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to our village office for a meeting!
I feel a little lacking in confidence when I take over the position of acting secretary of our village.

After all, I am young and it is difficult to convince others, but I hope everyone can believe in me and that I have the confidence and ability to do something practical for our fellow villagers!

Now that the weather is gradually thawing and turning warmer, I have sorted out two channels for us ordinary villagers to increase our income.

If anyone is interested, you can contact me to sign up after the meeting.

If the conditions are met, I will go to the higher-level authorities in the township to apply for relevant funding and policy support!

The first one is the purchase and distribution of mountain products!

After the spring thaw, various mountain products such as mushrooms, fungus, wild vegetables, and medicinal herbs have been put on the market one after another.

I will personally connect with the superior purchasing channels and offer a more attractive price than selling it in small quantities to the supply and marketing cooperatives.

We villagers who are free can organize people to go up the mountain to collect and bring them to the collection point to exchange for money!"

Hearing this, Li Yinhua's eyes lit up.

She had been eyeing the business of supplying and marketing mountain products for a long time, but had never dared to do so due to policy restrictions.

Now Yue Feng actually took the initiative to mention this in the meeting. This is a good way to make money.

"Secretary Xiao Yue, I'd like to ask, are the restrictions from the superior policies okay? In the past, the supply and marketing cooperatives did not allow private operations of these things!" Li Yinhua asked.

Yue Feng replied: "Aunt Li, don't worry about this. I have already sounded out the situation. The policy has been relaxed. As long as you follow the legal and compliant requirements, there will be no problem!"

When Li Yinhua heard this, she was the first to raise her hand high: "Our family has signed up!

I also have to look after the store. It is definitely not realistic to go up the mountain to collect mountain products, but I can help collect and organize them, and I can also provide a place for drying the vegetables!
Whatever you need me to do, as long as it is within our ability, my family will actively support our village's wealth creation projects!"

Another villager also raised his hand: "I want to ask, if we organize the collection and purchase of mountain products ourselves, how much higher can the price be than selling it to the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Yue Feng nodded at Li Yinhua, then answered the villager who asked the question: "To know the exact price increase, I have to conduct field surveys based on different categories to give accurate data.

But I guarantee that it will definitely be much more expensive than the current purchase price, and it will fluctuate by at least 30%!

For valuable medicinal materials like Gastrodia elata and Asarum, doubling the price is not a problem!"

Hearing the words 30 percent and double the price, the villagers below immediately started whispering.

In the past, due to restrictions on state-owned policies, independent businesses and purchasing points such as supply and marketing cooperatives kept prices extremely low.

Without competition, there will naturally be no reasonable price. Even if the villagers work hard, they may not be able to make much money.

If the price can really increase by 30%, it would be quite considerable.

Yue Feng let the villagers discuss for a while before continuing to ask, "If you have any other questions or suggestions, feel free to ask!

If I can’t answer it on the spot, I’ll write it down and follow up later!”

"In spring, the main products are wild vegetables and other things. Are you buying these in large quantities as well? You can't store them!" asked another villager.

Yue Feng nodded: "Indeed, storage is a big problem.

There are two plans. One is to coordinate with more canteens, government agencies and other places to unify the supply and try to ensure that it is exchanged for money in a fresh state!

The second is to dry them into dried vegetables for preservation. Our representative wild vegetables such as ferns and prickly ash are still quite popular in the market!
If the production volume is large enough, I can even contact surrounding cities, organize vehicles, and sell these wild vegetables as seasonal mountain delicacies. This is all feasible!"

"We have no problems anymore! Is there any other way to get rich?" another villager continued to ask.

Yue Feng nodded: "The second thing that every household can do is greyhound breeding!
It is spring now, and the early litters of greyhounds have begun to give birth. I will organize the villagers to go to the mountains to collect wild breeds and bring them back for raising. At most eight to ten months old, they can pair up for breeding, and they can pair up and give birth to puppies in a year!

The fur of the greyhound can be exported to earn foreign exchange at a very high price, and its meat is also very delicious. It can be said that its whole body is a treasure!

However, the breeding of greyhounds requires a certain amount of initial investment, and the return of money is slow, with an approximate cycle of about a year!
Everyone should make decisions based on their actual situation!
The total resources for this project are limited, so we will follow the lead of the first batch of villagers!"

Everyone knows about greyhounds, they can be found in the back mountain, but artificial breeding of greyhounds is still a relatively mysterious thing in the eyes of ordinary villagers. After all, no one is the first to try it.

"Is it possible to artificially breed greyhounds? They are very temperamental! What if we invest all the money and still can't achieve the desired effect?"

Yue Feng replied: "If you master the method, you will be able to raise it well naturally! Forget about the greyhound, how about the sable? It is more pretentious than the greyhound, right?

In my breeding farm on the mountain, the females collected from the wild last year have already bred the first batch of cubs. After a few days this year, the second batch of wild cubs will be born soon!

I will cover you for the technical aspects, so don't worry!
As long as I take the lead and lead everyone to do a wealth-making project, if it fails, the loss will be my responsibility! I will personally pay for it and subsidize everyone! " (End of this chapter)
