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

Chapter 724 There is no feast that lasts forever

In the mink cages.

Xiao Weimin and the crew stared intently at the sable that wasn't afraid of people at all in its cage.

"This...this pure white one is also a sable?" Xiao Weimin frowned slightly, carefully comparing the characteristics of the pure white sable with those of other normal-colored sables.

Its mouth, ears, nose, body proportions, and normal color are all exactly the same as those of a pure white sable.

The only difference is the color of their fur; the snow-white sable doesn't even have the red eyes of a normal albino individual.

Yue Feng grinned and nodded: "That's right! This is a rare albino individual! And it's a female albino sable without any eye gene defects!"

"This is so precious!"

"The cages next to this female albino sable are her pups! These pups were hand-raised from a young age and are very friendly to people. Although they have normal black fur, their genes are heterozygous!"

"Hybrid?" Oda tilted his head slightly upon hearing this word, seemingly not quite understanding what it meant.

Yue Feng chuckled and explained, "They are offspring that contain the gene for albino fur but do not exhibit albino characteristics! If we wait until they reach sexual maturity and then continue to breed them, two heterozygotes paired together could potentially produce pure white offspring! This means that in sable farming, we can obtain more top-quality white sables in the future!"

"This……"

The group exchanged glances, all seeing shock in their companion's eyes.

The value of even ordinary sable fur is already astonishing, but what about a top-quality albino sable? How much would a single pelt cost!

What if the white sable could continue to reproduce?
Now, everyone, including Xiao Weimin, has a deeper understanding of Yue Feng's background.

Those who can befriend the powerful and wealthy families of the capital are certainly not ordinary people.

"Alright! We've seen the sable, let's go see some others! In the enclosures behind, there are musk deer and sika deer!" Yue Feng waved his hand casually and led the group to continue their tour.

With the albino sable and the top-quality gyrfalcon as examples, the musk deer and sika deer were not as impressive. The group followed behind them for a long time before returning to the main house in the north.

"Tsk tsk tsk, your mountain farm is full of treasures!" Xiao Weimin said as he sat back down.

"It's all thanks to these two eagles, plus the brothers in the hunting team, that we've built it up bit by bit! We're still in the early stages of development, but once it's fully developed, the scale of the farm will expand several times over!"
Up in the mountain, I also leased another plot of land. In the fall, I organized the villagers to fence it off with wire mesh. In a few years, when the new aquaculture project is launched, the scale will be expanded!

"Wow! When I was your age, I had just started working and I didn't understand anything!"

"Hehe, Brother Xiao, you flatter me!"

……

After visiting the farm, Xiao Weimin gained a clearer understanding of Yue Feng's capabilities. Their already extremely close relationship deepened even further.

That evening, Yue Feng and Zhao Dashan left the film crew to have dinner on the mountain.

The doe that was hunted in the mountains during the day was skinned, deboned, and then cooked in a large pot on the mountain.

A whole deer cooked in a large firewood pot!

In terms of taste, the ingredients available on the mountain are limited, so the absolute taste may not be as good as what you get at home or in a restaurant.

But in terms of emotional value, cooking half a deer in a pot, grabbing it with your hands and gnawing on it, paired with strong liquor, creates a truly perfect atmosphere.

That evening, apart from Xiao Tian and Xiao Li who were driving, everyone else got quite drunk.

After Yue Feng drove down the mountain and returned home, he settled everyone in. It was already past nine o'clock at night.

Overall, today's hike was very rewarding; the most challenging parts of the filming have already been completed.

Feeling very relaxed, Yue Feng settled the film crew in and then tiptoed back to his wife's room.

"Shh! Keep it down, don't wake Kaixin up, we just got her to sleep for a little while!" Wang Xiaona whispered to her husband.

Yue Feng nodded, poured water from the kettle to soak his feet, and then, without even emptying the foot bath water, got onto the kang (heated brick bed), took off his clothes, and crawled into bed.

"Is everything settled with the film crew?" Wang Xiaona casually placed her hand on Yue Feng's shoulder, gently massaging it as she asked.

Yue Feng nodded: "Today, I went up the mountain and listened to Master's advice. I went to Deer Valley and filmed the footage of the big black eagle hunting deer! We also encountered Red Dog. Our eagle and Red Dog killed several jackals!"

"Since you weren't home during the day, I did a quick inventory of the house's supplies. Before Director Xiao and the others leave, we should take some things back with them, right?"

"Take some, we absolutely have to take some!"

"What are you planning to give them from your pile of treasures? I've already arranged for the common mountain produce and mushrooms; I'll carefully select the highest quality goods from the purchasing and sales points!"

"Then how about cigarettes, alcohol, candy, and tea? There are still quite a few of the special-supply cigarettes that Brother Tiger gave us, so bring some. Also, bring a few bottles of the tiger bone wine and leopard bone wine you brewed! And some special-supply tea too! Plus the mountain produce and mushrooms you prepared, that should be presentable!"

“Okay, four people, one for each person? Does Director Xiao need more?” Wang Xiaona asked again.

Yue Feng shook his head: "We won't add extra weight to these regular gifts! Don't forget, he still needs to take that top-quality white eagle from home!"

"If we include the eagle, then the amount of gifts should be about right!"

"Hehe, you can rest assured about your husband's work. He'll definitely handle things properly and won't make any mistakes!"

"Tch, you think you're so great! You've been busy all day, let me give you a massage, then go to sleep early!"

"I've been a monk for almost half a month now, no, today I have to be an emperor!" Yue Feng reached behind his wife's arm, wanting to do something naughty.

Before she could even get what she wanted, the baby next to her started crying.

Well, after a flurry of activity, the couple dared not show off anymore.

……

The next morning, Yue Feng got up early on time, washed up, and then set up the big black eagle in the yard.

More than half an hour later, Xiao Weimin finally came out of the house wearing a coat.

"How much did you drink last night? I blacked out! Your master has a really high alcohol tolerance!"

Yue Feng grinned: "Hehe, not much, less than a pound and a half! It's mainly because my master drank a bit too fast and his fever was a little high! After a nap, your head won't hurt, right?"

"That's alright! After we finish breakfast, we'll need to organize the footage we've shot over this period! If everything is in order, we'll head back first thing tomorrow morning!"

"I've been away from home for so long without even realizing it, and I already miss my wife and kids!"

Yue Feng: "Hehe, now that we know where the door is, we can come back when we have the chance. The door is always open for you!"

"You know what, staying here for a while has really improved my sleep quality, and I feel so much more energetic in the morning!" "There's still some time before lunch, could you put the white eagle on your leg for a bit? I just checked, the scabs on your leg are almost dry, and they should be completely healed in three or four days at most!"

"Alright, let's set it up for a bit! So it won't be too raw when we take it back! Let me make this clear first, I have to take this eagle with me when I leave! You're not allowed to be stingy and reluctant to give it to me!"

"No, it's not that bad. I promised to give it to you, so take it with you when you leave! Not only will you take the eagle, but I'll also prepare a set of eagle gear to take with you!"

"terrific!"

……

For the rest of the day, the film crew and Yue Feng did not go out to do anything else.

Xiao Weimin and several other colleagues organized the videotapes that had been filmed during this period, one by one, according to the timeline.

I hadn't noticed the disorganization at first, but after everything was inventoried and sorted out, the videotapes filled two large boxes!

That evening, Yue Feng invited his hunting team members, as well as his elders and relatives, to come over. He also had a big drinking session with Xiao Weimin's film crew, and the party didn't end until 9:30 p.m.

All good things must come to an end. The next morning, Xiao Weimin woke up his team early.

Packing luggage and loading various filming equipment into the car.

Yue Feng and his wife Wang Xiaona distributed the 'local specialties' they had prepared in advance to everyone.

The standards were set according to those agreed upon the night before last. The already packed SUV was crammed full, with even the space under the seats filled. Even the large white eagle had to be temporarily restrained with an eagle coat.

Dumplings before boarding, noodles upon arrival. This morning, Yuefeng's mother and mother-in-law got up early to make mutton dumplings for him.

After finishing their dumplings, the four of them, in two cars, got into their new house in Yuefeng and set off on their journey home.

As he watched the CCTV film crew's vehicle drive further and further away, Yue Feng's tense nerves finally relaxed completely.

Having guests at home definitely makes life feel different. During this period, Yue Feng devoted most of his attention and energy to the film crew.

Now, the task has been successfully completed. We are just waiting for the subsequent video footage editing and review to be finished, and after the internal procedures are completed, it will be able to meet the audience on television.

After seeing Xiao Weimin off, Yue Feng strolled over to the village office to call Ye Jianjun and let him know what was going on.

During working hours, Ye Jianjun's phone rang only three times before he answered it quickly.

"Hello? Who is it?"

"Brother Jun, it's me, Xiaofeng!"

"Ah, it's Xiaofeng! How's it going? Is everything going smoothly at home with the film crew?"

"Hehe, thanks to you, everything went smoothly. The film crew's car left half an hour ago! Mission accomplished! I just wanted to call you to give you a heads-up!"

"Have you taken all the necessary photos?"

"Yes, we filmed everything, both the things we should and shouldn't have! We went up the mountain to catch eagles and captured a top-quality white eagle. Director Xiao took it with him when we left!"

"I heard from the old man that Xiao Weimin isn't a very easy person to get along with. The fact that he wanted your eagle means that you two have been getting along quite well lately! Besides communicating with me after filming, is there anything else you're worried about?"

"Uh, there really is!" Yue Feng touched his nose.

"Haha, I knew you had something on your mind. What is it that you're still unsure about? Tell me! I'll help you figure it out!"

"According to Xiao Weimin, the length of the footage we shot is definitely much longer than originally planned! But a lot of the content is of very high quality, and the footage was hard-won!"

"You have no idea, we almost got surrounded by dozens of jackals when we went into the mountains to get some material!" Yue Feng said with an air of seriousness.

"Stop, halt! With your abilities, those jackals can't threaten your film crew! You're trying to stretch the documentary as much as possible, right?" Ye Jianjun interrupted Yue Feng's increasingly rambling conversation, getting straight to the point.

"Yeah, right! After this project is approved, the requirements are pretty strict, aren't they? I heard from Xiao Weimin that you have to go through the leadership level by level to report and apply! And he's not even guaranteeing that it will be approved!"

Ye Jianjun paused for half a second after listening: "Okay, I understand. It's hard to get approval through the regular process, so let's go through some extra procedures! I'll follow up on the documentary later, and I definitely won't let you down!"

"Then I must thank you in advance, Brother Jun! You're like a brother to me! When you have time to come to Northeast China, I'll personally warm your bed!"

"Get lost! I'm busy right now. Let's talk again when I have time! I'm hanging up now!"

"okay!"

……

After hanging up the call, Yue Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Feng had no clear idea of ​​how much power Xiao Weimin had to apply for an extension of the documentary's length.

But now that Ye Jianjun has agreed, there's a high chance there's a way.

I believe there should be follow-up information soon. If everything goes smoothly, it will be a huge boost for Yue Feng.

In the 1980s, when public exposure was scarce, if a documentary became popular, Yue Feng would instantly become a celebrity.

Over the next few days, Yue Feng's family returned to normal life.

The film crew left, and the house became noticeably quieter.

However, Yue Feng's various industries are developing steadily and continuously. Even if Yue Feng, the absentee manager, doesn't have to worry about them, there are dedicated people in charge.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

There's still no news about the documentary filming crew, but Xing'an Village has welcomed its first heavy snowfall of the winter.

It snowed heavily all night, and when I got up the next morning, the snow depth in the yard was more than ten centimeters.

Snowfall is an order. The hunting team members, who had been looking forward to snow for too long, took their eagles and falcons up the mountain on the very day the snow stopped.

After the first heavy snowfall of each year, we routinely go into the mountains to collect chicks and rabbits, which is practically free.

Yue Feng was getting a little bored with the area around his home. Since his friends had all gone into the mountains, Yue Feng also brought out the snowmobile from the storage room.

After a quick check, I filled up the tank and started the engine without any trouble.

Take the eagle, lead the dog, and head up the mountain!
Well-equipped Yue Feng also became one of the many people who went into the mountains to collect chicks.

Once the snow on the mountain freezes for a few days and becomes footholdable, the new hunting season will begin, marking the busiest period of the year.
