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

Yue Feng only used the hat as a container to feed the gray falcon meat twice. The third time, after the falcon had eaten the meat, he casually put the hat on the eagle's head.

The grey falcon let the hat sit on its head, then its beak peeked out from the opening of the eagle-hat.

Yue Feng gently pressed the tassel of the hat towards the back of the eagle, and the hat was successfully fastened.

The grey falcon's eyes suddenly went dark, and it opened its beak and let out a long, drawn-out cawing cry.

"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! I won't hurt you!"

Yue Feng sensed the eagle's tension from its cry and immediately whispered reassurances. Then, he pinched the tassel on its hat and pulled it off the hat that was covering the gray falcon's eyes.

The entire process of putting on and taking off the hat lasted less than ten seconds, which was very short.

Once its vision was restored, the gray falcon tilted its head slightly to look at the eagle hat in Yue Feng's hand, then raised its left claw and scratched a few times at the spot behind its eye where its earlobe was covered with feathers.

The ears of birds of prey are hidden under their feathers, and the feathers in this area are quite sensitive. Yue Feng judged that the current scratching reaction was due to the pressure on this area when the hat was put on earlier.

After the eagle scratched a few times and returned to normal, Yue Feng repeated the previous process, feeding the eagle meat with the eagle's hat, then putting the hat back on the eagle, and repeatedly extending the time it took to remove the hat.

After several desensitization training sessions involving putting on and taking off the hat, the Grey Falcon now knows that the hat poses no danger to it. On the contrary, once the hat is removed, it can enjoy delicious meat as soon as it hears the whistle!
The fresh lamb leg that Yue Feng brought back from Grandpa Liu's house was enough for the eagle to eat for the whole day while he was training it to put on its hat. The gray falcon's crop was bulging high after eating and drinking its fill.

Yue Feng placed the hat on the gray falcon's head again and then gently tightened the drawstring.

Once the drawstring was secured, I felt a slight pressure, and then, influenced by the hat, I lowered my head slightly.

Yue Feng patted the gray falcon's back, and the little guy tried to lift its head up again.

However, he could only lift it up for a few seconds before it drooped down again, looking like a criminal who had made a mistake with his head hanging low.

Just then, the sound of Jinlong braking came from the doorway.

Yue Feng knew that Jinlong had arrived, so he immediately rode the gray falcon toward the north house.

Today's job is obviously not to take the falcon out. The falcon, which is not yet properly trained, has eaten and drunk its fill and had its hat put on. The safest way is to let it digest at home.

Yue Feng entered the room and placed the gray falcon with its hat on a small stool with a towel wrapped around its surface.

The little guy regained his footing, twitched his tail a few times, and quickly settled down there.

The Altai falcon also needs special care to protect its claws. Currently, there is no professional falcon stand or turf, so a bench covered with a soft towel is a good temporary solution.

After settling the gray falcon, Jinlong swaggered into the yard.

"Xiaofeng, are you up?"

Yue Feng pushed open the door and came out of the room, grinning at Jinlong and revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Yue Feng: "What are you saying? I get up at six o'clock sharp every morning without fail! I've been training that grey falcon in the yard all morning to put on its hat!"

"How's the training going? Any progress?" Jinlong asked casually.

"It's about 80-90% done! He's squatting down inside, calmly putting on his hat!"

"Damn, are you kidding me?! This thing can be trained in just one morning? I don't believe it!"

"If you don't believe me, come inside and see for yourself. Would I lie to you?"

Jinlong knew that putting a hat on an eagle took a lot of effort, and thought Yuefeng was teasing him. But when he pushed open the door, he saw the gray falcon squatting there with its hat on!

"His crop is completely full! This is a real case of labeling someone! How did he manage that?"

"We didn't do anything, it was just the normal training process of labeling you that I told you before!"
This Grey Falcon was quite bold; after repeating the incident a few times, it wasn't resistant to being labeled at all!
Why don't you stay inside for a while? I'll go tell the aunt in the side room to come into the north room and keep an eye on the grey falcon when she's free during the day.

"Don't let something go wrong at home while we're out flying falcons!"

"Okay! I'll wait for you. Uncle Liu and Uncle Li are waiting for us to have dinner together!"

……

Soon, Yue Feng left the house and went straight to the side room. After a simple knock on the door and receiving permission, Yue Feng entered the housekeeper's room.

After briefly explaining the situation to the other party and giving them instructions, Yue Feng and Jin Long left the house, got into the car, and headed straight for Xiao Ying Liu's house.

By the time the car stopped at the entrance of Xiaoying Liu's alley, it was already around 6:30.

Before Yue Feng and Jin Long even entered the courtyard after getting out of the car, they could smell the rich, smoky aroma of scallions being fried in oil in the alley.

Smoke was billowing from the kitchen in Grandpa Liu's side room. Yue Feng made an irresponsible wild guess that they were cooking a pot of dumpling soup with scallions!
In an instant, the aroma awakened my cravings, and I became incredibly hungry.

As soon as the two brothers pushed open the gate and entered the yard, they shouted at the top of their lungs, and Grandpa Liu immediately opened the gate to greet them.

"Come in quickly, let's eat first! Your aunt made dumpling soup! There are also fried dough sticks and pickled vegetables!" Little Eagle Liu called out.

"Hehe, it really is dumpling soup! The scallions fried in oil smell so good! I'm going to have a big bowl!" Yue Feng didn't stand on ceremony, grinned as he entered the house and sat down on a stool.

"I need a big bowl too! I haven't had this in years!" Jinlong echoed.

Soon, Aunt Liu brought two large bowls of salty dumpling soup to the dining table inside the house, and then brought out the still-warm fried dough sticks and pickled vegetables.

"Eat up, your Uncle Li and I have already eaten! Once we're full, we'll head out to the south of the city!"

"Okay! We eat quickly, it'll be ready in no time!"

Yue Feng grabbed a fried dough stick, poked the end into the dumpling soup, waited about two or three seconds, then popped it into his mouth and took a bite. The combination of crispy and soft textures made for a very good taste.

Take a bite of the fried dough stick, then sip the salty dumpling soup from the bowl. The aroma of scallions spreads across your tongue. Take another bite of the pickled vegetables, and instant satisfaction fills your entire mouth.

Even the well-traveled and experienced Jinlong Jin was captivated by this bowl of fried dough stick soup with pickled vegetables.

The two brothers ate soup and fried dough sticks in big gulps, and filled their stomachs in less than ten minutes.

"Look at those two brothers, they're really enjoying their meal! We're getting old, quite a bit older now! Are you full? If not, there's more in the kitchen!" Little Eagle Liu asked with a smile.

Yue Feng wiped the grease from his mouth: "I'm full. My aunt's skill in making salty dumpling soup with scallions is absolutely amazing!"

"It's good that you've eaten! Let's pack up quickly and get ready to go! Old Li and I are both ready!"

"Alright, let's go! Let Young Master Jin drive, and you can be the passenger and give directions!"

"it is good!"

Li Fulin, who had been sitting there without saying much, stood up from his chair, then put his hands on the eagle and gave a greeting.

"Chasing the wind, treading through the snow! Let's go, time to work in the fields!"

Upon hearing their owner's command, the two greyhounds that had been lying silently behind the door immediately sprang to their feet and followed their owner out the door.

Yue Feng and Jin Long walked ahead and opened the car door first, gesturing for Lao Liu and Uncle Li to get in. "Ta Xue, Zhui Feng, get in!"

At another command, the two greyhounds, at least two or three steps apart, leaped up and darted into the car with incredible agility.

Soon, the four people, two rabbits and tigers, plus two greyhounds, all got into the car. Yue Feng was the last to get in, sitting in the back seat and closing the door.

"By the way, Xiaofeng, take a look at the leather rolled up next to the back seat. Is it the vegetable-tanned leather you mentioned?" Jinlong reminded him as he started the motorcycle from the driver's seat.

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng turned his head to look to the side and quickly found a rolled-up leather scroll.

The color is a light pinkish-flesh color with a slight white tinge. The texture is dense and the thickness is slightly thick. It is indeed vegetable-tanned leather, and it looks like top-quality. At first glance, there isn't even a tiny scar or irregular pattern.

"Wow, that's impressive, Mr. Jin! You're incredibly efficient! Is it vegetable-tanned leather, and high-quality at that!"

Yue Feng unfolded the leather and examined it carefully for a few moments, then rolled it up again.

"As long as it's the material you mentioned, it'll be fine! We'll use this for now, and then we'll make something else when we run out!"

I also asked my friend about the kangaroo skin you mentioned last time. They can get it, but it will take time, about a month or so! Is the skin usable?

"It works! It just needs to be thinned a little! That's easy, just use a thinning knife!"

"Uncle Liu, the leather's here. When we get back, I'll demonstrate to you what the advantages are of making hats with this stuff!"

When Xiao Ying Liu makes eagle hats, he usually only uses top-grain cowhide, and his options for color and texture are extremely limited.

Sometimes, it takes a lot of time to get your hands on a particular color of leather.

The old man had never seen undyed vegetable-tanned leather like the one Jinlong brought before.

"Okay, thank you for your thoughtfulness!" Little Eagle Liu nodded slightly in response.

"Haha, grandpa, we need to get going. Shall we take the main road outside and head to the south of the city first?" Jinlong asked, gripping the steering wheel.

"Yes! Let's go to the south of the city first. Once we're out of the city, I'll tell you how to drive!"

"All set! Let's go, everyone buckle up!"

With a throttle input, the car's engine roared to life, and it sped off at an astonishing speed.

Along the way, Xiao Ying Liu gave directions at several key locations. Jin Long drove everyone out of the city and headed straight for their destination.

More than an hour later, the car stopped at the edge of a production road outside the city.

There was no road ahead. Looking out the window, the surrounding vegetation was withered and yellow, creating a desolate and bleak winter atmosphere.

"There's no road ahead, how much further?" Jinlong asked.

"It's just ahead, get off!"

Upon hearing the call, Jinlong turned off the engine and got out of the car, while Yue Feng and Li Fulin both pushed open the car doors and got out.

Standing at the front of the vehicle, Xiao Ying Liu pointed to the distance ahead and introduced to everyone: "Not far ahead is that large area of ​​kiln pits I was talking about! Wheat is also planted at the bottom of the kiln pits; we'll see it when we get closer."

You can go down from the northeast side; there's a sloping dirt road there!
The burial mound is located on the southeast side, near the edge bordering the kiln pit. The terrain there is somewhat complex, with some low shrubs.

Yue Feng, following the directions given by Grandpa Liu, surveyed the general area. The area below the kiln pit was not visible for the time being, and in other directions, as far as the eye could see, there were no tall trees or overly steep terrain.

Apart from some weeds, the terrain of the entire area connecting the kiln pit below can be described as flat as a pancake.

This kind of mountain area is quite suitable for raising falcons. In fact, because the soil is taken from the other three directions of the kiln pit at different heights, it naturally forms an earthen wall barrier. It is no exaggeration to say that the terrain is uniquely advantageous.

"This place is nice! What's it like at the bottom of the kiln pit?" Yue Feng asked curiously after surveying the terrain.

Little Eagle Liu replied, "The brick kiln has been abandoned for many years, and the area underneath has been leveled and planted with wheat! It covers at least several dozen acres and is quite flat!"
This large kiln pit is located in a sunny, sheltered spot, and there's plenty of food; every autumn there are plenty of rabbits.

"Come on, let's go closer and take a look!"

"go!"

Soon, Little Eagle Liu, along with Yue Feng and two other companions, strode towards the soil extraction slope below the kiln pit.

Looking out from where the car was parked, the view was obstructed in many places and things were not clear. But after a few people slowly followed Grandpa Liu to the top of the kiln pit, the view below became unobstructed.

"The only problem with this place is the lack of water. If there were water, it could be used to build a small reservoir!" Yue Feng couldn't help but remark.

Little Eagle Liu replied, "The soil contains sand and can't retain much water! This place has been like this for many years! I know all the farmers who grow wheat here. The yield isn't high, but they grow it every year, so it's some extra income!"

What do you think of this place for falconry?

Yue Feng nodded repeatedly: "This place is great! The more you walk in and observe, the better it seems!"

The wheat in winter isn't afraid of being trampled, and the barren slopes surrounding the wheat field don't look out of place! The dog can definitely run!
"Hey, we're all here, why don't we go down for a walk and see if we can scare a few rabbits out!"

Li Fulin also stood there carefully observing the terrain below. When he heard Yue Feng's suggestion, he pointed down and said, "Let's go! I'm looking at this field. There might be rabbits hiding in those spots along the edge of the wheat field."

Otherwise, let the two dogs go for a walk first!

An experienced hand is an experienced hand; his judgment of where the rabbits were hiding was remarkably accurate.

Yue Feng scanned the area, silently counting the most suspicious locations in his mind, and Li Fulin pointed them out one by one.

From this perspective, it also shows that the other party is definitely an expert with a wealth of experience in finding rabbits.

"Haha, Uncle Li has a good eye! Let's go down and look for it!" Yue Feng replied.

Li Fulin waved his hand: "No need for anyone to scare them away. Zhuifeng and Taxue, go down and search! This side, and that side, make sure to search them thoroughly!"

At his command, the two greyhounds that were always by Old Li's side immediately darted downwards.

That execution ability is no less than that of Yue Feng's leader dog, Canglong.

The greyhound's physique is designed for high-speed running; on a relatively flat surface, it is even faster than the Azure Dragon.

The two dogs left the wheat field with a clear goal in mind and rushed in the direction Li Fulin had directed.

In an instant, the two hunting dogs took off running, kicking up a cloud of dust behind them.

Seeing this, Yue Feng and Jin Long exchanged a glance.

Uncle Li's greyhound is definitely a fierce hunter when it comes to catching rabbits.

The two brothers were even more excited for the upcoming battle. (End of Chapter)
