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

Jinlong also heard the call of the gray falcon inside the house and immediately turned to look at Yuefeng: "Your hawk is calling! Is it alright?"

Yue Feng was unsure of what was going on, so he strode into the house.

When Yue Feng arrived at the chair with the hawk's backrest, he glanced at the gray falcon's condition and felt relieved.

Thankfully, the eagle wasn't injured by hanging upside down or fidgeting. It's now fluffed up into a big ball of fluff, looking pitifully at its new owner.

"Caw caw caw caw!" The gray falcon cried out a few more times as soon as Yue Feng stopped.

Yue Feng was slightly taken aback; he had just noticed a subtle detail in the eagle's movements.

Fluttering its wings, begging for food!
This morning, Jinlong and I went to Grandpa Liu's house. We didn't feed the hawk before we went. The grey falcon was quite plump, and it's normal for it to be fine if it doesn't eat for a meal.

But unexpectedly, after being hungry for most of the day, the little guy even learned the standard begging action of a fledgling eagle.

The cawing that just came home isn't a sign of illness; it's just that the grey falcon heard its owner return and was deliberately cawing because it was hungry, begging for food.

Jinlong glanced at the eagle's condition and asked curiously, "What's wrong with this gray falcon? Is it alright?"

Yue Feng grinned slightly: "Hehe, I've struck gold! This gray falcon might actually be a fledgling eagle!"

"Milk eagle? What does that mean?"

"Do you remember the hawk that my dad kept in his room when we went to my house before? My dad said it was very friendly to him!" Yue Feng asked.

"Okay, I remember! It's a rooster eagle, quite big, and its plumage is beautifully molted, without a single stray feather! What's wrong?"

"That chicken-eagle, after being caught and trained for a short time, became very close to people. Even if you don't lift it up and take care of it every day, it basically won't become rebellious!"
I would go to work at the forest farm with my dad. Once we got there, I'd just let myself out into the woods to catch food and play by myself! When it was time to leave work, I'd whistle and he'd come back to come home with me!
According to the saying passed down from my grandfather's generation, this kind of eagle with an exceptionally friendly nature is called a baby eagle. Once you raise it, it will be very easy to take care of!

I suspect this grey falcon has some of the potential of a baby hawk!

"This...is great news!" Jinlong's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Yue Feng's analysis and speculation.

Yue Feng nodded, walked up to the gray falcon, put on his sleeves, and slapped his arm at the eagle.

The little guy was very clever. He fluttered his wings and jumped onto Yue Feng's arm, making the five feet of his arm taut.

Yue Feng untied the five-foot rope that was tied to him and then wrapped it between the fingers of his left hand.

"Please sit down first. Turn on the stove and boil some water. I'll go to the kitchen to get some meat to feed the eagle!" Yue Feng said.

Jinlong waved his hand, sat down in front of the stove, and picked up the stove hook: "Alright, you don't need to worry about fiddling with the stove!"

Yue Feng, carrying the eagle, turned and left the north room, heading straight for the kitchen in the side room.

We keep eagles at home, and we always have meat on hand, but we're out of fresh meat, though we have frozen lamb legs.

Yue Feng took out the meat from the eagle, then took out the pre-divided meat pieces for a day's feeding, and took a small bowl, carrying it back to the north room.

Frozen meat needs to be thawed first; feeding eagles frozen meat can easily cause digestive problems.

When they returned to the north room, Jinlong opened the sealed stove and turned the air inlet to its maximum, and it warmed up in no time.

After a while, the frozen meat thawed, and Yue Feng took out the prop hat used for training. He repeated the hat-buttoning training several times, and then fed the meat piece by piece to the Grey Falcon.

The little guy showed an astonishing level of affection when he was hungry.

Even when they weren't that hungry before, they were already quite bold and almost unafraid of people. Now that they've been hungry all day, they're behaving even better.

Whether it was the cap training or the remaining half of the meat-tethered lure training, the little guy was extremely focused.

Upon hearing the whistle command, it executes its actions swiftly and decisively. If it were in front of an unfamiliar eagle handler, one might believe it was a well-trained old eagle.

In less than half an hour, all the thawed mutton was eaten by the eagle into its crop.

The previously shriveled crop now had a fleshy, tumor-like protrusion the size of an egg.

After eating its fill, the gray falcon perched on Yue Feng's arm, calmly cleaning its claws and nails, and then grooming its fur.

From beginning to end, Jinlong did nothing but fiddle with the stove and quietly observe the details of Yuefeng and Ying's training.

Seeing that the eagle was well-fed and watered, Jinlong asked curiously, "Did you keep this eagle company all night?"
"How come they seem so approachable? At first glance, they're not much different from Uncle Li's two old rabbit-tigers!"

Yue Feng shook his head: "Apart from setting up the lamp for a while before going to sleep, I've never stayed up all night by myself with the lamp on!"
This eagle has a naturally good temperament!
I just started introducing it to the lure yesterday, and it's already very familiar with it today!
In its current state, I feel that after a little cleaning of the shaft and a bit more fat accumulation, it should be ready for outings and surface lure training!

"You've only been back a few days, and you've made great progress! After we finish our business tomorrow, let's go out and try it out together. I've never seen you train with a lure to fly a falcon before!"

"Row!"

……

After a brief exchange, the two men and the eagle fell silent in the room.

The two brothers had briefly discussed the matter in the car, and while drinking tea, they pondered and discussed some details. Before they knew it, it was getting dark outside.

Before five o'clock in the evening, the auntie cooking in the kitchen had already started preparing dinner. At this time, Ye Jianjun and Ye Xiaojun drove to Yue Feng's house.

"Hey! Xiaofeng! Jinlong is here too!" Xiaojun entered the room and greeted Jinlong and Yuefeng with a smile.

"Xiaojun, Jianjun!" Yue Feng stood up and invited the two to sit down.

"We're not leaving tonight. How about we have the auntie cook a couple more dishes, and then we can have some drinks?" Ye Jianjun asked with a smile.

Yue Feng: "No problem! We can discuss tomorrow's plans tonight! I'll go say hello to Auntie!"

Yue Feng got up and greeted the aunt, asking her to cook a few more dishes. Afterwards, everyone went back inside and started chatting over tea.

During the conversation, Yue Feng also told the Ye brothers about his intention to recruit people that he had discussed with Grandpa Liu and Li Fulin during the day.

Ye Jianjun's reaction after hearing this was exactly as Yue Feng had expected.

People in high positions who do important things certainly have enough experience and knowledge. This kind of decision to lay the groundwork for them in advance is a good thing for everyone. Ye Jianjun expressed his unconditional support.

That evening, the four of them had dinner in Yuefeng's courtyard.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Yue Feng seized the opportunity and brought up the matter of future project shares.

"Brother Jianjun, among our group, you are the oldest, and also the most capable and knowledgeable. What do you think is the appropriate way to divide the shares of this project? Young Master Jin and I would like to hear your opinion!"

Ye Jianjun picked up a peanut with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. While chewing, he said slowly, "Xiao Dong and Ming Kai will definitely want to get some shares and get involved, right? I heard they've already made arrangements for that piece of land in Chengnan Kiln!"

Jinlong nodded: "Yes, the procedures are already underway!"

Ye Jianjun looked at Yue Feng, then at Jin Long: "I'm quite optimistic about this project. I've also briefly mentioned it to my elders. We can try to get it going!"
As for the shares, Xiaojun and I together will take at least 40%! The rest you can divide! Xiaofeng has to get a share, and it can't be less than the rest of you!

Hearing Ye Jianjun's words, Yue Feng and Jin Long both breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with smart people is so convenient; Ye Jianjun must have considered things behind the scenes.

He's the one who needs the most effort at the higher levels. He has to endorse and vouch for high-level connections and backgrounds, so it's inevitable that he'll receive a lot in return.

Overall, Ye Jianjun's plan coincided with the plan Jinlong had presented that afternoon.

After listening, Jinlong said, "Xiaofeng and I discussed it for a while this afternoon, and our ideas are the same as yours. The difference is that Xiaofeng wants to take three points from his 15% and give them to Grandpa Liu and Uncle Li!"

Ye Jianjun was slightly taken aback after hearing this, and looked at Yue Feng with a complicated expression.

Although Ye Jianjun was polite to people like Xiao Ying Liu and Li Fulin on the surface, he didn't really consider them to be on the same level as him.

Ye Jianjun originally planned to give more money as salary, but he didn't intend to give out shares.

I never expected my little brother to be so kind; he actually planned to take a portion of his shares and give it to those two.

"Adding Uncle Liu and Uncle Li makes some sense! In my opinion, we shouldn't just let Xiaofeng contribute his shares!"

"The four of you, all shoulder to shoulder, each of you take out one point and give it to the other two! Xiaofeng, Jin Shao, what do you think?" Ye Jianjun suggested again.

If each person owns 15%, and then takes out one percentage point, everyone will be left with 14%. From the perspective of equity structure, the overall situation remains unchanged, except that Yue Feng's interests will increase by two percentage points.

From this perspective, Ye Jianjun was more inclined to consider Yue Feng's feelings.

After all, Yue Feng was the Wang family's godson, and he himself was a master in the falconry business, so he was qualified to sit at the table.

"Okay! That's fairer!" Jinlong agreed without hesitation.
"Then it's settled for now! We'll complete the paperwork later! If anything changes, we can discuss it together later!"

"OK!"

……

It was clearly a big deal, but it was decided over dinner that evening, while we were eating and chatting behind closed doors.

Ye Jianjun dominated the entire process, while Ye Xiaojun, who was usually quite boisterous, remained quiet all night and hardly mentioned anything.

After a hearty meal and drinks, the group of us had some tea and then said goodbye and left before nine o'clock.

Jinlong also left, and soon Yuefeng was left alone in the house again.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time Yue Feng had collaborated on a specific 'project' with these young masters from Beijing, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't emotional.

However, thanks to the groundwork laid in the previous years and the process of getting to know each other, things went relatively smoothly overall.

Now, we'll have to see how they perform in tomorrow's opening match!
Yue Feng, holding the eagle with one hand, stood by the stove in a daze for a while, then, feeling sleepy, he sealed the stove and turned to go into the bedroom.

Yue Feng tied the eagle to the back of the chair, turned around, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), and quickly fell asleep.

That night, Yue Feng slept restlessly. In the middle of the night, he dreamed that he encountered many familiar people at the "opening match". They had different appearances, but they all showed great hostility towards Yue Feng, who was watching the match.

……

The next morning, Yue Feng opened his eyes right on time.

I got up, washed up, then perched the hawk on my hand and sat at the door of the north room, staring blankly at the sky through the glass.

Breakfast was ready in the side room, and Yue Feng deliberately waited for a while.

Sure enough, Jinlong arrived in its car just after six o'clock.

The two brothers ate breakfast together, then drove with Xiao Ying Liu and Li Fulin, plus Ying and Gouzi, straight to the brickyard in the south of the city.

Early in the morning, fog rolled in on the road, reducing visibility to less than 100 meters. The car drove along the road, and by the time it arrived at the kiln pit, it was already past 7:30.

Yue Feng felt that arriving so early meant he must be number one, but when he arrived, he found that two other cars had already arrived a little further away from the slope leading down to the kiln pit.

A car and a truck, both painted in the same military green.

The fog hadn't completely dissipated, but visibility had increased considerably. Yue Feng squinted and glanced around, barely able to make out the car's license plate.

"Young Master Jin, whose license plate is that?" Yue Feng asked.

Jinlong waved his hand: "Don't be nervous, it's Xiaodong and Mingkai's family! They came over early with their people and directed the workers to tidy up the site and set up some tables, chairs and benches! They also set up a few military tents in a sheltered spot down below!"

After saying this, Jinlong got out of the car and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xiao Dong, Mingkai!"

"Hey! Here we come!"

A voice responded from below, and soon two familiar faces ran up the slope from below.

"Brother Feng, Uncle Liu, Uncle Li!" The two brothers greeted each other politely.

"How's the preparation going? Is everything almost done?" Jinlong asked.

Xiao Dong nodded: "Yes, there are two large marching tents, each equipped with a stove to ensure a sufficient supply of hot water!"

The table and chairs are all arranged, and the ground is quite flat. The only downside is that we didn't put some pebbles or something on top! We'll have someone come and do that later!

"Is Grandpa coming over today?" Jinlong asked again.

Xiao Dong: "My dad has a meeting this morning, he should come over after the meeting!"

Mingkai: "My dad and my second uncle will be over in a bit. They're even bringing a big eagle that someone gave them as a gift! They said they want to go and experience it for themselves!"

Jinlong was fairly satisfied with his two best friends' answers, nodded, and continued to ask, "Is the outermost edge of the barren slope on the east side fenced off?"

"We've circled most of it, but yesterday afternoon was a bit rushed. We've circled the area in the southeast corner where the slope is gentler, but there's still a gap of less than 200 meters to the north!"
"But the angle over there is quite steep, so it should be fine!"

"It should be fine. We'll have to fence it off later anyway. Don't be afraid to spend money, and don't try to save time! Make sure it's neat and tidy!" Jinlong nodded and said.

"OK!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng felt a slight jolt in his heart.

These individuals are taking today's opening match much more seriously than they expected.

We initially agreed that we would just catch a hawk and then give Uncle Li some good wine to drink.

The actual outcome far exceeded expectations.

This is like going straight from millet rifles to airplanes and cannons! (End of Chapter)
