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

Xiao Ying Liu and Li Fulin are both elderly people who have lived most of their lives, so they still have this much reaction ability.

Hearing Yue Feng say that and seeing the look he gave him, they immediately cooperated.

"Since it's not Gray Spear, shall we leave? Old Liu, we won't eat at home! Let's go back!"

Li Fulin put on an expression of utter disappointment upon learning the truth.

When Liu Dapeng saw that the group was about to leave, he immediately panicked!

He said a buyer from Tianjin had taken a liking to it, but that's just pure bragging!

Few people have the guts to spend two thousand yuan on an eagle they can't even understand why they're good. Most people who wanted to see eagles during this period have already done so, and none of them seem particularly interested in buying one.

Who knows when Eagle will be able to sell it after these buyers leave today!

"Wait, guys, don't rush off! Let's chat some more. It's not the Gray Spear, but it has a different price. As long as the item is good, it's always worth having!"
As Xiao Yue just mentioned, this is a vagrant bird, which is very rare!
Regardless of its actual effectiveness in combat, just buying it and tying it up in front of your friends will instantly elevate your social standing! Liu Dapeng enthusiastically promoted it.

"Spend so much money to buy a vase to use as a dumping ground for poop?" Little Eagle Liu chimed in nonchalantly.

Li Fulin then turned to look at Liu Dapeng: "Since it's not a gray spear, it's naturally not worth that price!"

"Little Yue doesn't need this eagle, but I'd like to buy it to play with. If you really want to sell it for a cheaper price, I'd like to hear it!"

Seeing Li Fulin stop, Liu Dapeng took a deep breath and looked at the eagle in front of him: "Otherwise, I won't take the two thousand. You can give me eight hundred, eight hundred to take it! This is a vagrant bird, very rare!"

Upon hearing the price, Li Fulin didn't hesitate for a moment before turning around and leaving.

"Don't go! Give me another bite! You can ask for a price, and you can bargain!" Liu Dapeng grabbed Li Fulin again.

Li Fulin turned to Yue Feng and said, "Xiao Yue, how much do you think this eagle is worth? We're already here, and I've known Lao Liu for many years. It wouldn't be right to leave without giving a price!"

Yue Feng said with a smile, "At this time of year, a decent rabbit or tiger would probably only be worth a hundred or two hundred yuan!"

I think this Altai falcon is worth at most the price of two top-quality rabbits and tigers! You're buying something rare, not practical!

In Hebei, during falconry season, falcons are not uncommon. Falconers like Liu Dapeng can see dozens of them every autumn.

Those who keep rabbit-tiger eagles are all highly skilled veterans. Good eagles fetch good prices, while bad eagles are considered a waste of effort even if given away for free. Moreover, rabbit-tiger eagle keepers often build cages, which further exacerbates this effect.

Given this objective situation, the short-legged rabbit-tiger is far less desirable than the large eagle, which is more efficient at catching rabbits.

A decent rabbit-tiger can sell for a hundred or so yuan, which is already considered a pretty good price.

Liu Dapeng was visibly disappointed when he heard Wen Dong's valuation, but after comparing it with the market price of top-quality rabbits and tigers, he felt that it actually made some sense.

You can't force a sale. Yue Feng's skillful maneuver just now completely dampened Liu Dapeng's spirits.

"Two hundred and forty! That's the lowest I can go!" Liu Dapeng gritted his teeth and added forty yuan to Wen Dong's price.

Upon hearing the price, Li Fulin turned and exchanged glances with Xiao Ying Liu and Yue Feng.

Yue Feng said, "Don't look at me like that. If you think it's worth it, just add a few dozen yuan!"

As he spoke, Yue Feng gave Li Fulin a subtle nod.

Li Fulin understood the situation and said with a smile, "Two hundred and forty it is! It's only a few dozen yuan less, I won't refuse you! You have to keep the cage sleeve for this eagle!"

Seeing that the other party had agreed, Liu Dapeng readily nodded: "I'll take it! I thought it was a gray spear, but it turns out it wasn't! What a disappointment!"

"Alright, that's equivalent to you catching two more top-quality rabbit tigers! How much money is too much!"

Li Fulin turned his head and glanced at Ye Jianjun, indicating that the other party should pay.

Ye Jianjun didn't hesitate. He took out a wad of cash from his pocket and quickly counted out 240 banknotes.

After receiving the money, Liu Dapeng carefully counted it twice before putting the still-smelling banknote into his pocket.

"These rabbits and tigers, and this eagle, do any of you like them? It's not easy for me to come all this way, so if you see anything you like, I'll sell them to you at a discount!"

Everyone shook their heads. The remaining eagles were either extremely good or just ordinary junk.

Clearly, the eagles in Liu Dapeng's south room are no good.

After the money and goods were exchanged, Li Fulin turned to Yue Feng and said, "Little Yue, shall we head back before dawn, or have a meal before we leave? When we get to Old Liu's house, he'll definitely feed us, regardless of whether Ying buys anything or not!"

Yue Feng shook his head: "Let's skip the meal! We need to get back quickly, and if we drive now, we should be home before dark! Let's eat when we get back!"

"Alright then, Lao Liu, we won't eat at home! We'll head back right away!"

Liu Dapeng nodded: "If you have the chance to come again, I'll definitely cook you some good food! The eagle has been fed since it got home, so you can feed it normally when you get back!"

"it is good!"

……

After exchanging a few perfunctory pleasantries, Li Fulin got into the car with the eagle he had bought for 240 yuan.

Everyone got into the car, closed the doors, and Ye Jianjun started the engine and stepped on the gas. Soon the car left Liu Dapeng's house.

Once the car had left the village, everyone in the car who hadn't spoken a word breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew... Xiao Yue, your reaction just now was absolutely amazing!" Li Fulin said with a smile.

Yue Feng grinned: "It's winter now, and true enthusiasts who are willing to spend money on eagles have already gotten their hands on good ones!"
I was gambling, betting that Liu Dapeng wouldn't be able to hold his temper! I didn't expect to be so fooled!

Li Fulin: "You have no idea how arrogant Liu Dapeng was when I came last time! He wouldn't even discuss two thousand yuan less!"

My friend who came with me to see the eagles was even willing to offer him a thousand, but seeing his attitude, he didn't even offer a price and we left!

"Haha, this thing was meant to fall into our hands! Uncle Li, we're really lucky to have you here!" Yue Feng thanked him repeatedly.

"Given my relationship with Lao Liu, it's just a small favor, nothing to worry about! I'll take care of the eagle for you, okay?" Li Fulin waved his hand and asked.

Yue Feng had the same idea: "Alright, hold it up for me! I can take a good look at the quality of this eagle!" Yue Feng reached out, first took the five-foot eagle from Uncle Li's hand, and after holding it tightly in his hand, he put on the cage sleeve and took the eagle.

As soon as Yue Feng picked up the falcon, he felt a slight weight on his wrist.

Goodness, it doesn't look that big, but it's quite heavy. It's a solid meaty egg, and it's very firm.

"How's it going, Xiaofeng? What do you think of the eagle's quality?" Ye Jianjun couldn't help but turn around and ask while driving.

Yue Feng grinned but didn't rush to answer. Instead, he kept looking at the details of the Altai falcon from head to toe.

As the old saying goes, a good eagle is naturally handsome, and this Altai falcon is of quite good quality.

With high eye sockets and a remarkably three-dimensional skull structure, the eagle constantly observed the people around it with its large eyes. It was very bold and hadn't flapped its wings since getting into the car.

The eagle's nostrils were light blue, and its eyes were of a very standard color. What impressed Yue Feng the most was that the eagle's nostrils were at least one-third thicker than those of a normal-sized falcon.

After examining the head and face, Yue Feng then looked at the eagle's breast.

Dark-colored breast with blackish-gray hues, a standard carved breast, with well-developed muscles on both sides of the keel of the chest, quite expansive.

Following the flower pattern downwards, Yue Feng's gaze fell on the eagle's claws.

It was a light blue, the same color as its nose. Its cap was rough and regular, with large and strong joints. Its claws had four extremely long fingers. When it stepped on Yue Feng's arm, the length of its fingers was about one segment longer than that of an ordinary falcon.

"Hey! Nobody noticed before, but this is a jade claw!" Yue Feng exclaimed in surprise as his gaze fell on the eagle's claw.

"What is that? Jade Claw?" Ye Jianjun was puzzled when he heard this, as he had never heard of the term before.

"Yes, jade claws! The nails are all white, like warm, smooth jade! This is a genetic mutation; the keratin in the claws is harder and sharper than ordinary nails! This is one of the top-grade eagle traits on the roster!"

Upon hearing this, Li Fulin interjected, "I did see the details of this jade claw a long time ago, but I'm not sure if it's just the nature of the variety or a special quality!"
"After all these years of hawking, this is the first time I've seen an Altai falcon vagrant like this! I'm really unsure what to do!"

Yue Feng grinned: "White claws are not a normal feature on any eagle used for hunting!! Brother Jun, this trip was definitely worthwhile, this Altai falcon is top-notch! A real gem!"

"How does it compare to the black spear at your house?" Ye Jianjun continued to ask.

Yue Feng shook his head: "That's different! The advantage of this falcon is that it is adapted to the high-altitude environment and has a strong tolerance to high temperatures! Although the gyrfalcon is not too afraid of heat, it is not as good as the Altai falcon in this respect! If it is in a desert environment, it may perform better than the gyrfalcon!"

"Little Yue, how can you tell that this kind of eagle isn't afraid of the heat?" Li Fulin continued to ask.

Yue Feng pointed to the Altai falcon's thick nostrils, which were different from those of ordinary eagles: "You can tell from its nostrils! Large nostrils directly affect breathing efficiency! Higher breathing efficiency has a direct impact on oxygen supply! At the same time, it also has a significant effect on lowering body temperature!"

"Tsk tsk, now that you mention it, it's true! I was wondering why something looked off about this eagle! Its nostrils are definitely a size bigger!" Little Eagle Liu also examined it for a while and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Hey, you just told Liu Dapeng that this kind of eagle likes to fly high, was that true or just a joke?" Li Fulin continued to ask.

“Of course it’s true! Every word I said to him about the habits of eagles was true! This kind of eagle is actually more suited to circling hunting than box hunting! Its hunting habits are more like those of a peregrine falcon than a saker falcon!” Yue Feng replied.

"Wow, you know so much!"

"Hehe, actually, the truth is just a thin layer of paper. The eagle's abilities are all hidden in its physical characteristics! Its wings are wide and long, suitable for long-distance flight, but it is slow."

With narrow and short wings, it is suitable for diving and short-distance acceleration, making it fast!
Actually, after playing with them for a while, you all know what's going on! It's just that you've never seen this kind of breed before, so you're having some doubts!

"I'm young and don't have any idol baggage, so I'm not afraid of people laughing at me if I say something wrong! Just say it!" Yue Feng said with a grin.

That's true. Little Eagle Liu and Li Fulin have spent their lives studying eagles and have their own understanding of the details of eagles. The reason they were hesitant about this Altai falcon was simply because they had never seen one before and dared not be too sure.

Yue Feng is different. In his previous life, he spent many years on Chinese and foreign forums, giving him a unique advantage in terms of information that ordinary eagle hunters don't know.

“I didn’t finish what I was saying earlier. This eagle is incredibly bold! I even suspect that if we give it some water when we get home, it could start feeding on its prey right there in the yard! Shall we take a gamble?” Yue Feng said with a chuckle.

Li Fulin shook his head: "I won't bet with you on this, I can see it too! This eagle has a very steady gaze! It doesn't even struggle when it's on my hand!"

Grandpa Liu also curled his lip: "Little Yue, you've gone bad, haven't you? All you do is tease us old men! If you can't even see this little detail, you shouldn't be playing with eagles!"

"Hahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.

Throughout the journey, everyone was in a very good mood because they had acquired this excellent falcon.

Ye Jianjun drove the car very fast. Everyone's stomachs were growling with hunger, but no one suggested stopping for a meal. They all wanted to go back first.

With Ye Jianjun flooring the accelerator, the car returned to the capital city before nightfall.

The group returned to Grandpa Liu's house, got out of the car and went inside, carrying the eagle.

"Old woman, cook something for everyone first! We haven't had lunch yet, we've been starving all day!" Grandpa Liu greeted Grandma Liu as soon as he entered the door.

"Have some water first, then I'll continue cooking for you!"

Once inside Grandpa Liu's house, everyone made no attempt to be polite and took their seats. When there weren't enough chairs, they used stools and small stools instead.

After a sip of hot tea, I finally felt a little better.

"Don't leave tonight, eat at home! We were planning to have hot pot for lunch, but we were out all day! The meat was already prepared!"

Seeing how enthusiastic Grandpa Liu was, Ye Jianjun said, "Alright, let's have a meal before you leave! Xiao Feng, how long are you staying in the capital? You'll have to take care of this eagle for now! I'm leaving for another city early tomorrow morning!"

"No problem, leave it to me, I'll definitely handle it! I'll be staying here for about seven to ten days!" Yue Feng readily agreed.

Soon, the bone broth boiled in the pot.

Several people quickly arranged the table, placed the bronze stove on it, poured in bone broth, and added burning charcoal to the stove.

In no time, the bone broth came to a boil.

Sliced ​​lamb fat was served, along with a prepared sesame sauce, frozen tofu, cabbage hearts, pickled garlic, chili oil, and other hot pot ingredients.

After a long day of travel, covering hundreds of kilometers, the group, who were starving, each grabbed a piece of mutton and put it into the pot. As soon as it changed color slightly, they took it out, dipped it in the sauce, and couldn't wait to stuff it into their mouths.

The aroma of mutton mingled with the flavors of the seasonings, exploding on the tip of the tongue. Yue Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "Delicious!" (End of Chapter)
