Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 657 Picking the Eagle
When Jin Long heard Yue Feng asking about the car accident, his eyes immediately lit up.
The day before yesterday, when Yue Feng was distributing Xiaoying's tools, he said in front of several people that if Jinlong wanted to learn this skill, Yue Feng could teach him.
Even if Jin Long learns this kind of thing, he may not be able to use it, but this is often the nature of young people.
Although you got the gift from my buddy and I didn't, my buddy was able to teach me how to make it himself, which is half a level higher on the emotional level.
Besides, the beauty and professionalism of this kind of small car tripod far exceeds that of ordinary leek flat-foot tripods.
If you learn it and brag about it to your fellow eagle-flying enthusiasts, the effect will definitely be good.
Yue Feng asked: "Tell me, what color do you want? I'll match it for you on the spot. Do you have cotton thread at home?"
"Yes, what color combination is more sexy? Make it completely sexy!" Jin Long said excitedly.
Yue Feng thought for a moment and said: "Then let's match black and red! Red with black! Three black and two red together, it looks very beautiful!
But it has to be pure red. If it’s pink or watermelon red, it will look ugly!”
"Okay, we have some at home, I'll ask Auntie to get it!"
"Get another comb for your hair!"
"Row!"
Although Jin Long didn't know what Yue Feng wanted this thing for, he still responded.
Ten minutes later, Jinlong came back with a wooden comb and red and black sewing thread.
Yue Feng accurately laid the thread according to the commonly used length, then dipped the cotton thread in water and began to teach Jin Long from the beginning how to weave the details of the foot trip.
The methods of hitting the front four edges were very simple and it took only a short while to learn how to do it. When it came to the core part of the leg pocket, Yue Feng inserted the five strands of silk thread into the gaps of the comb.
The most amazing thing about the car trip is that it can be woven into a structure with interlaced warp and weft just like weaving cloth. The red and black colors are matched, and an extra third strand of thread is used to weave vertically back and forth among the five strands.
After inserting it longitudinally once, use a comb to press it down and tighten it, then insert it in the opposite direction and insert it again. Repeat this process over and over again until you get the ideal length and size, then you can close it.
Yue Feng said he would teach Jin Long, so he naturally did not keep anything to himself and explained every detail to Jin Long from beginning to end.
Jinlong was also very curious about this special weaving method. He studied it carefully and asked about what he didn't understand. Yue Feng then gave him a more detailed explanation.
After making the two foot trips, Jinlong had learned the most core craftsmanship of making the cart trips.
After the foot tripod is made, the next is the toad, and finally the five-foot-long piece.
The two grown men, doing nothing in the house, were patiently weaving the five-foot-long rope used to tie up the young eagle.
It took Yue Feng three and a half hours to complete the full set of black and red pine nut foot-tripping tools.
This is only possible because Yue Feng is very experienced and skilled. If it were an ordinary beginner, it would take at least twice as long. Such a long length needs to be played one button at a time, and there is no room for laziness.
The final product made by Yue Feng's skillful hands is densely woven, and by pinching the bottom of the buttocks, the entire foot trip can stand up like a steel wire.
The actual effect of the black and red color combination is just as Yue Feng said, very outstanding. After choosing the right little eagle and tying the outfit on, people who know the business or not will praise it when they see it.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! Hahaha!" Jin Long was so happy when he got the little eagle tool made on the spot that he couldn't stop smiling.
“It’s just a little trick. Once you learn it, you can make it yourself! You can try other color combinations. Some of them are pretty nice too!
By the way, I haven't asked you yet, are there many people tying pine nuts in the bird market in your area in spring? How many young eagles are there in the market? Are there any to choose from?
Don't look back at the bird market. There are only eight or ten pine nuts, and they are all leftover junk. It's a waste of time and it will ruin our friendship!"
Yue Feng has many considerations when asking this question.
Since these young masters want to get Song Zier, Yue Feng must show his professionalism to show his status.
If you have no choice, you might as well prepare early, get a few eagle nets, and catch them yourself.
Now is around the beginning of summer, when pine nuts are arriving in large quantities. As long as you find the right place and spend some effort, you can definitely catch a few!
Jin Long said, "You don't have to worry about this! There are a lot of pine nuts in the bird market at this time of year, eight, ten, or even pure pine nuts. There are quite a lot every year!
But decent pine nuts are not cheap! Those old falconers rely on the spring and autumn to make money!"
Hearing this, Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, let's go and take a look tomorrow! If there are any, we can spend money to solve them. If there is nothing good, we can catch them ourselves!"
"Haha, I just like the way you are confident!" Jinlong laughed.
"Damn, I don't like men!" Yue Feng curled his lips and made a harmless joke.
……
Before I knew it, the afternoon had passed.
Ye Xiaojun drove here early today, just before dark and dinner time.
He has nothing to do today, so he's planning on treating everyone to dinner in the evening.
So, Yue Feng, Ye Xiaojun, Jin Long, Xiao Dong and Ming Kai, five people, found a private kitchen restaurant to have a meal in the evening, and played until around nine o'clock in the evening before they dispersed.
That night, several people agreed to get up early the next weekend to go to the bird market. After Ye Xiaojun learned that Jinlong and Xiaodong Mingkai had both received the small car tripods that Yue Feng had helped to make, he also clamored for them.
As brothers, of course, we cannot favor one over the other. Yue Feng didn't have it on hand, but he promised to help make a set himself when he came back tomorrow. Xiaojun gave up then.
The next morning, it was just six o'clock and Yue Feng was still in bed when the sound of car horns began to sound at the door.
Ye Xiaojun, Xiaodong and Mingkai, the three brothers, drove a car, gathered early and arrived at the door of Jinlong's house.
All the friends had arrived, so the brothers Jinlong and Yuefeng didn't waste any time. They quickly got up, washed their faces, and without even having time to eat breakfast, they got in the car and headed straight for the bird market.
The bird market we are going to today is quite famous in BJ. The locals call it Guanyuan Bird Market.
This place was originally located in Fuchengmen, and later moved to opposite the Children's Activity Center. It is a comprehensive market for flowers, birds, insects and fish.
In addition to birds, there are also various crickets, fishing rods, antiques, cultural relics and miscellaneous items, covering a large area.
This market is open every day, but its bustle and variety of goods reach their peak on weekends.
There were five people in the car, except Yue Feng who was an outsider, the other four were all hutong people who grew up in Yanjing.
Ye Xiaojun drove the car and took them through many twists and turns to the market, then found a place outside to park the car. The brothers had a clear goal and went straight to the place in the market where eagles were sold.
Speaking of which, there is also a chain of contempt in the bird market.
Raising the four major songbirds has the highest status (thrush, lark, indigo bunting, and sunbird), followed by pigeons and then other birds.
The most unpopular thing is the one that ties up the tiger but doesn't pull the little eagle.
The tiger shrike mentioned earlier is also called the shrike. This creature has a ferocious temperament and can imitate the calls of many kinds of birds. A skilled one can even imitate the thirteen sounds of a lark.
However, this thing feeds on other birds. Once it spreads its wings and starts chirping in the bird market, other birds dare not make a sound.
In addition, what is even more domineering than the tiger is the young eagle caught by the eagle hunter.
Spring is the season for tying pine nuts to your chest. Once this thing appears in the bird market, no matter how sweet your bird's song is, it will immediately stop eating. Having said so much, I have actually gone off topic a bit.
In order to avoid risks, eagle sellers usually choose to set up their stalls far away from other songbird sellers.
Some wrapped the eaglets in eagle coats and hung them in a row on a horizontal bar, like young swallows that had not left the nest.
Some people tie the eaglets to poles and let passing sellers choose them.
Today is the weekend, and it also coincides with the time when pine nuts are in season, so the Eagle Market is extremely lively.
As soon as I walked into this area from a distance, I saw at least four or five sellers, selling all kinds of small eagles.
Jin Long walked in front and said, "The Eagle Market stall is in the front! There are many sellers! Look in the front, those hanging on the poles are all pine nuts, right?"
Yue Feng had been checking the surroundings since he got off the car. He nodded and said, "Hey, there are quite a lot. This Eagle City is quite large! There's a lot to choose from today!"
As they were talking, the brothers strolled to the first stall selling little eagles.
There are two rows of poles and more than a dozen little eagles lined up.
These eagles should have been out of the net for a day or two. They are not afraid of people even though they are squatting on the poles. There are both old and young eagles, with a pair of small eyes, always paying attention to the people passing by.
The seller noticed these sleek young men and took the initiative to attract them, saying, "Young man, would you like to buy an eagle?
They are all good eagles. There is no better eagle than this one, which has just been netted for a day or two and trained to catch sparrows!"
Yue Feng lowered his head and glanced at the young eagles on the pole. There were about five or six old fellows of average appearance. Their eyes had turned pomegranate red, and they were at least two years old.
The standing posture is okay, but there is nothing special about the structure and appearance, so it is not worth choosing.
The remaining eagles were in much worse condition. Their wings, backs, and tail feathers all had varying degrees of old hair. Their skeletons and stance were also relatively soft. They were not decent eagles at all.
"Is this the eagle on the pole? Is there no better quality one?" Yue Feng asked in a deep voice.
"All the eagles on the pole are pretty good. Don't you like any of them? Look at these ones. They are so pretty!"
The seller glanced at Yue Feng, and the expression on his face and the meaning behind his words only expressed a few words.
I don't think you understand.
When Yue Feng heard the tone, he was too lazy to communicate anymore. He didn't even reply. He just turned around and walked towards the next stall.
As soon as Yue Feng left, the four people next to him immediately followed.
Now, the eagle seller was dumbfounded.
"Hey guys, I still have a ten-eye persimmon here, come and have a look!"
Mingkai was slightly tempted when he heard this, but seeing that Yue Feng didn't even turn his head, he didn't stop either and pretended not to hear it.
Yue Feng walked to the second stall and glanced from top to bottom at the little eagle tied to the pole.
The eagles on the second stall were obviously of much higher quality than the first one.
The bottom row is of eagles about two years old, with pine nut breasts, incense ash breasts, rust breasts, dark colors, and light colors, all different.
After just a rough look, Yue Feng knew that these eagles had all been screened.
In the middle row, the eagles on the poles are all colorful eagles, with four or six eagles being the most common. Yue Feng immediately fell in love with the eight-eagle colorful eagle near the far left.
The little eagle had a body shaped like a club, thick on top and thin at the bottom, with a broad chest, a head the size of an abacus bead, eyes the size of persimmon beads, single-haired hard bones, a pair of eagle claws that were green and skinny, with rough tiles, sharp nails, and excellent tendons and bones.
If you just want to tie it for fun, this eight-flowered eagle is definitely more than enough.
After a brief observation, Yue Feng did not speak immediately, but continued to check other eagles.
None of the eagles in the middle row are better than the one with eight stars, and all of them are more or less inferior.
The eagles in the top row were all wrapped in coats with only their heads showing. They were probably new catches just caught in the net that morning. They had not yet stood firmly on the ground, so they had to be wrapped in coats.
"Boss, among the new eagles, are there any with better quality?" Yue Feng asked casually, pointing to the top row.
"Hey, young man, you know what you're doing! These are the ones I caught this morning. There's a box with 10 in it! You can open it and take a look!"
The seller did not take advantage of the situation. He took the eagle off readily and handed it to Yue Feng along with the coat.
Yue Feng took the eagle, unbuttoned his coat neatly and held the eagle in his hand.
An expert can tell whether a player is good or not with just one move. Just from the way he flattened Xiaoying, it can be seen that Yue Feng is definitely an expert.
I saw him swiftly spread out his tail feathers and take a look at the molting situation. There were ten new feathers and only two old feathers.
The main feathers of the wings have all been replaced, and the little eagle with ash-breasted body looks quite plain.
However, Yue Feng didn't like the eagle's head very much.
It has a triangular toad head, a drooping nose, and a slightly short and wide mouth, with somewhat odd proportions.
This kind of eagle is simple-minded and easy to tame, but it is not very agile in working.
Yue Feng shook his head and quickly rewrapped the eagle and returned it to the seller.
"This eagle's head doesn't look that good! How much are the eight in the middle row?" Yue Feng asked casually.
The seller took his eagle and nodded to Yue Feng: "An expert is an expert! This eagle with eight shells is the first one on my stall. Fifteen dollars, no bargaining!"
Yue Feng nodded: "Who wants this eagle? Master Jin, do you want it?"
"Eight, isn't that a little short of the mark? Why don't you just clean up the whole thing?" When Jin Long heard Yue Feng calling him, he frowned slightly and was not very enthusiastic.
Yue Feng leaned over and whispered in his ear: "Playing with the clean hair, playing with the style, the real work is not necessarily better than this eight!
This is a hawk that came out of the nest late. If it is the first one, it will most likely be able to shed all its feathers!"
"Mr. Jin, you don't want it? Then I won't be polite!" Xiaodong took out the money without hesitation.
Jin Long was originally hesitant, but when he saw his companion wanted it, he immediately nodded: "If Xiaodong wants it, I'll give it to you! I'll go around and talk about it later!"
Xiaodong didn't waste any time. He took out two brand new big unity notes and handed them to the seller, and directly bought the eight top-quality pine nuts.
"The boss is busy, let's go around again!" Yue Feng greeted and continued walking forward.
Soon, the brothers came to another stall, and before they could even stand, the owner of the stall started shouting out his wares.
"Pine trees are covered with snow and frost. Players who know the trade should come and take a look!" (End of this chapter)
