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

Yue Feng looked over following the boss' voice. The other person was wearing a white cotton glove on his right hand, with a perfectly placed clean-haired pine nut standing between his thumb and index finger.

If you only look at this pine nut from the back, it seems to be a completely different species from the ordinary pine nuts on other stalls.

The backs of ordinary eagles are plain gray-blue, but occasionally, if an eagle does not molt properly, its young may have golden halos on their fur.

In contrast, the base color of the feathers on the back of this pure-feathered bird is as black as ink, but the surface seems to be covered with a layer of bright silver hoarfrost.

The head and face are of medium size, the eyebrows and eyes are standard, the body shape is not outstanding, but the muscles and bones are strong.

When it comes to tying pine nuts, what you want is something that is delicate and has strong bones. The pure-haired pine nut in front of you can be said to be the epitome of the best quality. At first glance, it is basically the leader in the bird market.

"Boss, how much is this rack of pure pine nuts?" Jinlong took the lead and immediately asked the price.

The seller bowed slightly to greet him, and said politely, "Good eyesight, handsome man! This little eagle is 100 yuan, no bargaining!"

After hearing the price, several people nearby couldn't help but sigh.

Ordinary pine nuts are only three or five yuan, and better ones are only ten or twenty yuan, which is not a small amount. However, rare things are expensive. This pure pine nuts are actually priced at one hundred yuan, and the company stated that they would not bargain.

At this price, you can buy a big eagle in spring.

None of the young masters like Jinlong are short of money.

But I am not short of money, but I am short of things. If you ask for a hundred yuan without bargaining, it is not just a lie, but a blatant rip-off.

"The eagle is pretty good, can't it be cheaper?" Jin Long looked at the little eagle and negotiated.

The seller grinned: "Scarcity makes things valuable. After all, this is a top-quality, frosted and clean fur! This kind of top-quality stuff must be worthy of its price!"
If you think it's not suitable, you can look at other ones. I have four or six or eight other flower eagles here. They're cheap to tie up and play with!"

The attitude was quite good, but there was nothing wrong with his words. Jin Long nodded and looked at Yue Feng.

As long as Yue Feng nodded, Jin Long would definitely pay for it.

After all, he tied the eagle for fun not for actual combat but more for face. He didn't have the time to go out and release the eagle.

I guess I'll just keep it for a few days out of curiosity, and then give it away if I meet friends or connections.

Yue Feng knew Jin Long's mentality. He glanced at Xiaoying from the side, then turned and came to the front of the seller, taking a close look at Xiaoying's details from the front.

Everything was fine at first, but when his eyes fell on the crotch of the clean-haired guy, Yue Feng frowned.

For common pine eagles, whether they are eagles or spotted eagles, the hair from the crotch to the lower end of the tail is snow-white.

This pure feather is different. The crotch and feathers around the back door have patterns extending from the breast flower to the back.

If there were no lines on the crotch, Yue Feng could give Xiaoying a score of 95, but with these lines, Yue Feng directly passed.

This eagle can be used to fool people who don't understand it, but no real old-school falconer would tie up a eagle like this.

"Mr. Jin, let's wait and see, there's no rush!"

Yue Feng did not confront him directly, but smiled and said something that was neither soft nor hard and ambiguous.

The seller could tell from the conversation between the two that Yue Feng was the one in charge of looking out for the enemy, and Jin Long was asking him for his opinion.

Jin Long nodded: "Okay, let's look at something else!!"

Yue Feng didn't waste any more time and continued to check the other eaglets on the stall shelf.

This seller really has the capital to be so arrogant. Among the less than twenty Eagles, three have ten missiles, two have eight, and the rest basically have at least six missiles.

Yue Feng patiently observed the whole circle carefully and looked at all the eagles on the stalls.

"Boss, how much are these ten?" Yue Feng asked, pointing at one of the persimmon-eyed pine nuts that looked good.

"This one costs $18! It's a great eagle too, you have a good eye, young man!"

Yue Feng grinned and said, "Fifteen yuan, give me a discount and pick two more!"

The boss was stunned, then nodded: "Okay, if you want two or more, I'll charge you 15 each!"

This mediocre eagle does not have the rare selling point of pure feathers, but there is nothing wrong with using it for work. Even if it is given as a gift, it is definitely presentable.

The boss was willing to give in, so he naturally wanted to make the deal. Yue Feng turned his head and took a look: "Do any of you like this Little Eagle? Young Master Jin, do you want to keep it?"

Jin Long's attention was still mostly on the rack of pine nuts covered with frost, and he was a little hesitant when asked.

"I...let me take another look!"

"Brother Long, if you don't want it, then I will do it!"

When Mingkai saw Xiaodong tied up an eight-tree, he couldn't help himself. Since Yue Feng said he could buy it, there must be no problem.

"Mingkai, if you want it, I'll give it to you. Let me take another look!" Upon hearing this, Jinlong went down the slope.

Yue Feng pointed to a nearby eight-tree tree and said, "This one is also good! Who wants it?"

Jin Long still hadn't made up his mind. Seeing this, Ye Xiaojun said, "Give me this one! Eight will be enough!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, Boss, we want these two, how much is it in total?"

The seller smiled and said, "Ten of them cost 18, that's 15, and these eight of them cost 13! A total of 28 bucks!"

"Okay! You pay the bill yourselves!" Yue Feng took a step back, giving Mingkai and Xiaojun the opportunity to walk up and pay the bill.

Soon, the payment and the goods were settled, and the small team of five people had already selected three eagles. Only Yue Feng and Jin Long still had nothing.

"Boss, let's go around again!"

"okay!"

After saying hello, Yue Feng left with the rest of the people and moved towards the next stall.

As they walked, Jin Long was full of curiosity: "Is the pure hair one more expensive? Is there anything else wrong with it?"

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "If it's just expensive, I won't stop you!

You don't mind the hundred or eighty bucks! After all, it's a clean fur. Whether you tie it up for fun or give it to someone else, you'll be proud wherever you go!"

"That……"

Jin Long didn't ask any further questions, but his doubtful attitude was already revealed.

Yue Feng grinned and kept everyone in suspense: "I said you can't choose, so of course you can't choose!
I will keep the specific reason a secret for you and tell you in detail later!"

Jinlong has witnessed Yue Feng's professionalism in falcon training.

If he says yes, then it's yes. If he says no and says no with absolute certainty, then there must be a problem.

Jin Long sighed, "Alright! There are stalls ahead, let's go around!"

We walked forward for less than twenty meters and came to another stall selling eagles.

The eagles on this stall were all wrapped in eagle coats. If I was not mistaken, there were a dozen or so eagles, and they should be live eagles that had just been caught in the net yesterday evening or this morning.

"Hello, boss. Do you have any good flower eagles to recommend?"

Yue Feng walked up to him and greeted him politely.

The seller was a weird old man who was at least sixty years old. He had an unkempt beard and looked unkempt. It was already May, and he was still wearing a dirty hat. He had a thin braid hanging from the back of his head, with the ends of the braid pointing upwards. There must be something like wire wrapped in it.

The old man looked up at Yue Feng and then lowered his eyelids and said in a hoarse voice: "Twenty yuan a piece, you can't take off your coat!
There is a pure hairy pine nut and a top-notch breast here!
There are 468 pieces of rotten hair left. Pay first and then open the package. No refund or exchange after purchase! "

After hearing the weird way of selling from this eccentric old man, Yue Feng's group of five immediately became excited.

Jin Long's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Hey, Brother Feng, can we play with this? There are less than twenty eagles in total, and only twelve pine nuts. If we buy them all, it'll only cost a little over two hundred dollars!"

When Yue Feng heard this, he was also quite interested in this selling method which was almost like opening a blind box.

He did not respond immediately, but squatted in front of the stalls and observed them one by one.

The eagle was wrapped in a coat, with only its head and tail exposed.

It’s just that a thin rubber band is sewn on the lining of the eagle’s tail, so unless you use brute force, it’s impossible to open the fan of tail feathers to see the specific molting situation.

The appearance of a good eagle follows objective rules. Details such as the head, face, eyes, nose, mouth, skull, and brow ridges can all reflect the actual condition of an eagle.

Some eagles have big heads, which means their brain capacity must be large, so such eagles are smarter under the same circumstances.

Some eagles have triangular heads, short beaks, and simple temperaments.

Some eagles have light green noses, which means they have high hormone levels in their bodies, active metabolism, and greater vitality.

Some eagles have noses ranging from goose yellow to light yellow. These young eagles may have slightly poor metabolic functions.

Different details such as eagle claws, wings, tail feathers, and body skeletal structure all have representative meanings.

Different phases may also influence each other, and after being arranged and combined, they become eagles with different phase scores.

Most of the bodies of these eagles are wrapped, leaving only their heads exposed, leaving even fewer points for reference.

If you want to pick a good eagle, you can't be careless at all.

Yue Feng squatted in front of them, looked at them carefully one by one, and nodded at Jin Long.

"Uncle, now that you've bought one eagle, can you buy another one?" Yue Feng asked.

"You can buy it. For the same person or people who buy together, the price will be increased by five dollars each time! 20, 25, 30!" The old man selling eagles added another rule.

After hearing the additional rules, Yue Feng nodded.

This is the right way to go. Otherwise, if you pick one of the most likely eagles, the probability of buying it cleanly later will be much greater.

With Yue Feng's vision, he can pick out the one with clean hair from two or three at most. If he is luckier, he might even be able to pick out one.

"Jinlong, give me the money first!" Yue Feng greeted Jinlong.

Jinlong did not hesitate and immediately took out the money and handed twenty yuan to the seller.

Yue Feng pointed at one of the pine nuts with white eyes and said, "This one isn't pure, but it's a good eagle. Twenty dollars is definitely not expensive! Young Master Jin, do you want it?"

Jin Long scratched his head: "You must clean the hair first, Brother Feng!"

Seeing that Jinlong was still considering the issue for the sake of face, Yue Feng stopped talking to him and pointed at another one next to him.

"This one has a higher probability! Sir, give me this one!"

Seeing the eagle selected by Yue Feng, the old seller's face changed slightly and looked at Yue Feng: "Young man, do you know anything about eagles?"

Yue Feng laughed: "Hehe, you know a little bit! Did I guess it right?"

"It is indeed this one! Congratulations!"

The old man was willing to admit defeat. After being picked out by Yue Feng in one go, he happily picked the clean-haired pine nut, untied his eagle coat in public, and handed it to Yue Feng.

Yue Feng held the eagle flat in his hand and examined its wings, tail feathers, waist and back one by one.

The head and face of this pure-haired pine nut have a very standard appearance, and the dimensional parameters such as skeleton and feathers are also quite satisfactory without any shortcomings.

Those that can be shed into pure hair in this season are definitely not hot commodities. If you have money and don't know much about hawks, you can buy them for the pure hair or eight or ten pieces or more. The lower limit is still quite high.

"Young Master Long, the eagle is yours! I want to pick another one to show off my chest. Can you pay for it?" Yue Feng joked with a smile.

Jin Long waved his hand and said, "No problem! Pick whichever one you like! They're all mine!"

Yue Feng nodded, then looked at the hawk seller and said, "Uncle, can you please feel the weight of the hawk?"

"Okay, just don't unpack it!"

Jinlong took out 25 yuan to pay the bill, and then Yue Feng touched the inconspicuous chest hanging in the corner without hesitation.

He took the eagle in his hand, felt its weight, and took it down without hesitation.

"That's it!" Yue Feng said without hesitation.

"How did you know that? It's clear that the hair on its head hasn't been completely replaced yet!"

When the old man saw the second eagle that Yue Feng picked out, his curiosity was immediately aroused.

If the first eagle is chosen based on your eyesight, it is still acceptable. After all, although there are few people who know how to clean eagles, there are always people who have handled it more and are more experienced. With a little bit of luck, you can pick the right one once or twice.

But the second eagle, even with its head still covered with rotten feathers and a chest that hadn't even grown out yet, was picked out by Yue Feng in one go.

This is the top-notch chest that the seller is talking about.

Yue Feng grinned: "There are many reasons for the speed of molting. It is easiest to measure it by the number of new feathers, but it is not necessarily the most accurate!

If I'm not mistaken, this chest-waving beast must have been injured, and it was an injury that almost caused disability!"

Hearing this, the eagle seller immediately gave Yue Feng a thumbs up: "Young man, you are awesome! My name is Little Eagle Liu, what's your name?"

Yue Feng: "Junior Yue Feng! Just call me Xiao Yue or Xiao Feng!"

"Brother Feng, are you really right? Hurry up and open your eagle coat and take a look!"

When Jin Long heard the conversation between the two, he immediately urged them out of curiosity.

Yue Feng glanced at the old man, who had no intention of continuing to speak, so Yue Feng opened his eagle coat in public.

The wrapped eagle slowly stood up, revealing its feathers and obviously abnormal eagle legs.

It was indeed a rotten eagle. It had not even shed half of its feathers. Many parts of its wings and back were covered with feathers, and only the two tail feathers had been replaced.

However, none of this matters, as almost everyone in Yue Feng's team was attracted by the details of the eagle's legs.

The two legs of the eagle that was swinging its chest were both grayish green in color, and its bones were at least one-third thicker than those of an ordinary eagle.

In the middle of the eagle's left leg, there was an obvious injury and then healed wound. At least four or five tiles on the exposed pole had peeled off. After the leg bone healed, a light pink and slightly whitish scab was left.

In addition, the claws on the left leg of this chest-shaking beast are missing, leaving only a neat piece of flesh.

In addition, seven or eight new feathers with brightly colored horizontal stripes grew at intervals below the breast flower of this bird.

Yue Feng only took a quick glance at the whole picture and immediately pictured in his mind the experience of the eagle being injured while working.

Don't be fooled by his shabby hair, he is a fierce warrior! (End of this chapter)
