Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 795 Catching the Eagle in the Reservoir
The snippets of conversation I overheard while squatting by the door can actually reveal quite a lot.
The first thing is that Li Wenhu and Zhang Chaochao have already teamed up, and it seems that they have decided to start the Eagle Hunting Club together.
Judging from Li Wenhu's words, he was giving Zhang Chaochao a guarantee and reassuring her.
Later, Zhang Chaochao mentioned that the very rare white eagle was caught by Yue Feng and Xiao Weimin when they went up the mountain to film a documentary.
The eagle was taken away by Yue Feng after it had been used for a job. It performed very well when it went to work on the ground. It was large in size and its stamina was not inferior to that of an old rabbit. Its overall ability was no worse than that of the Ironback Red Eagle.
If he were to be properly trained by a skilled falconer in real combat, he could become a very threatening falcon seed!
What slightly unsettled Yue Feng was that Li Wenhu actually harbored the idea of causing trouble at the construction site, which further diminished Yue Feng's already poor impression of him.
Yue Feng was still thinking about what had just happened, and his expression was slightly stiff when he returned to the room.
Hearing the door open, Xiao Dong looked up and noticed Yue Feng's unusual expression. He asked with concern, "Brother Feng, are you alright? You don't look too good!"
Yue Feng rubbed his face immediately: "It's nothing. I was checking out the venue this afternoon, and a cold draft got in while we were talking, so my stomach is a little upset! I just went to the toilet and my legs are a bit numb from squatting!"
"Are you really alright? If something's wrong, don't keep it to yourself!" Xiao Dong added.
Yue Feng waved his hand: "It's alright, it's alright! Grandpa, Uncle Li, where are you in the process? I'll go catch up with you!"
"Your stomach isn't feeling well, take it easy!"
Little Eagle Liu chuckled, picked up a peanut, took a sip of his liquor, and said...
"Okay, then I'll have to slack off a bit! I'm really struggling! I'll eat two slices of roast duck to calm myself down!"
As Yue Feng spoke, he reached out and rolled up some roast duck skin in a small pancake, then added sweet bean sauce and scallions, and took a delicious bite.
After briefly adjusting his mindset, Yue Feng subtly concealed the fact that he had overheard the news when he went out.
The four of them quickly returned to a relaxed state, sipping drinks, eating, and chatting.
After about an hour, they finished their meal, got up and went out. Xiao Dong went ahead to the counter to pay the bill.
At this moment, Yue Feng kept an eye on the unfamiliar guests around him out of the corner of his eye.
As fate would have it, Yue Feng didn't want to run into Li Wenhu and his group, but they still bumped into each other in the lobby.
"Brother Yue!!"
Hearing a call from behind, Yue Feng turned around and looked back.
Li Wenhu, standing next to a handsome, fair-skinned man in his thirties, took the initiative to greet Yue Feng.
"Hehe, it really is you! What a coincidence!" Li Wenhu quickly took two steps and stood between Yue Feng and the handsome man with the pale face.
"It's Young Master Li! What a coincidence, you're here for dinner too!" Yue Feng nodded to Li Wenhu in a respectful but not arrogant manner.
"Let me introduce you! This is my good brother, the second young master of the Zhang family, Zhang Chaochao! Brother Chao, this is the eagle-handling expert I told you about, Yue Feng!!" Li Wenhu introduced with a smile.
Yue Feng glanced at Zhang Chaochao without making a sound.
This man made a very impressive first impression. He had a rare pale complexion among men, a high nose, sword-like eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and slightly prominent cheekbones that complemented his thin lips perfectly.
Zhang Chaochao was also sizing up Yue Feng. Anyone who could be favored by the Wang family patriarch must be no ordinary person. But after a couple of glances, apart from being a little handsome, he couldn't see any particular aura about him.
"Hello, Young Master Zhang! My brother Tiger mentioned you the day before yesterday. This is our first meeting. Please take good care of me!" Yue Feng greeted him politely and respectfully.
Zhang Chaochao's lips curled up slightly: "Hello, Young Master Yue! I was thinking of visiting you when I had some free time, but I haven't been able to come these past few days. When will we have a chance to sit down together and get to know each other?"
When he was called Young Master Yue, Yue Feng felt a slight stirring in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
The titles "young master" and "young master" are not used casually; one must have a corresponding social status to use them.
By addressing Yue Feng by this name upon their first meeting, Zhang Chaochao implicitly acknowledged Yue Feng's standing in the Wang family's eyes, a form of indirect recognition.
Yue Feng grinned: "Thank you for your kind offer, Young Master Zhang. Let's do it another time when there's an opportunity! I've been quite busy with trivial matters these past few days. When I have some free time, I'll have my brother take you to my home to get acquainted with the place and we can visit each other more often in the future!"
"Haha, it's good to get out and about more!" Zhang Chaochao nodded with a smile.
"I'll head out now, I have two friends waiting outside!"
"Walk slowly!"
……
As Yue Feng stepped out of the hotel, he found himself on edge.
The young master from a wealthy and powerful family certainly had a strong presence and good manners. Even though he secretly wished he could skin him alive, he could still be so polite and courteous.
Xiao Dong was waiting by the car. When he saw Yue Feng come over, he immediately asked with concern, "Brother Feng, did Li Wenhu and Zhang Chaochao give you any trouble?"
Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "We don't have any grudges, why make things difficult for me!"
Seeing Yue Feng deny it, Xiao Dong nodded: "That Li Wenhu guy is two-faced and he's up to no good!"
He dared to bully you with the help of the Zhang family? I'll call Brother Jun and the others to help you get revenge! In terms of influence, we're no less powerful than them!
"Haha, it's not that serious! Are Grandpa Liu and Uncle Li alright? Let's get in the car and head back!" Yue Feng chuckled and didn't continue the conversation.
"Okay, you can sit in the passenger seat!"
"it is good!"
……
After Yue Feng got into his car and left, Li Wenhu finally settled the bill in the lobby.
After leaving the house, walking to the parking lot, and getting into the car, Li Wenhu whispered, "Brother Chao, that was Yue Feng, Wang Hu's sworn brother!"
This guy's got some serious eagle-handling skills! He even managed to save Feng Huanping's eagle from being kicked in the crop by a rabbit!
Zhang Chaochao nodded: "I know that! The top-quality white eagle in my hand is the same eagle he caught in the documentary!"
I visited the Wang family patriarch, and he stated that he would not interfere in matters between the younger generation!
This Yue Feng doesn't look very old, but he seems quite reliable when you meet him!
After all, he has the Wang family behind him. If we can avoid making enemies with him, we shouldn't break off relations!
Nobody said that only the Ye family could run the Falcon Hunting Club, and therefore we couldn't!
Whether you can achieve the desired results depends on your individual management and maintenance skills!
As for eagle training skills, as long as we maintain a good relationship, we can certainly put Yue Feng's abilities to use!
Hearing this, Li Wenhu, who still harbored hostility towards Yue Feng, was slightly taken aback and said, "You mean, we can try to win Yue Feng over and give him some shares in our club in the future?"
Zhang Chaochao remained noncommittal: "Don't underestimate his background. It's too early to try and win him over or take his shares, but it's still very necessary to maintain a good relationship! Once we've got everything ready, I'll write a post to let him know when the business opens!"
Li Wenhu's heart trembled: "I understand!"
To be so highly regarded by the second young master of the Zhang family, Yue Feng is indeed no ordinary person.
……
On the other side, Xiao Dong dropped Yue Feng off at his doorstep, and then the four of them agreed on a time to meet up and set off early the next morning.
Back home, Yue Feng closed the front door and then strolled into the north room.
The room was quite warm, and the stove wasn't sealed off, so the housekeeper must have cleaned it beforehand.
With some time before bedtime, Yue Feng set up his grey falcon, brewed some tea, and pondered the trivial details he had heard and seen during dinner.
The legendary Zhang Chaochao, when actually met, was not as arrogant as Yue Feng had imagined; on the contrary, he was quite cultured.
As for other trivial matters, Yue Feng had no idea about the other party's plans or how things would develop in the future.
After drinking a few cups of tea, Yue Feng smiled and shook his head.
This capital city sounds big, but the social circles aren't that big. You can run into Li Wenhu and Zhang Chaochao just by having a meal. Interesting.
Yue Feng, who hadn't figured anything out, unknowingly finished the tea in the teapot. He looked up at the time and saw it was past nine o'clock.
Yue Feng patted the large eagle that was obediently squatting on his arm, then turned around to wash up and went to bed early to rest.
……
The next morning, Yue Feng got up early, just as dawn was breaking. He thawed the frozen meat, fed the gray falcon, had a simple bowl of millet porridge and a few fried dough sticks to fill his stomach, and then waited patiently at home.
At 6:10, Xiao Dong arrived at Yue Feng's house on time. After picking up Yue Feng, he then drove to Grandpa Liu's house.
Before 6:30, the four of them set off with the eagle-catching nets and bait they had prepared in advance, heading straight for Miyun Reservoir.
On the way, Yue Feng greeted Grandpa Liu with a smile, "Grandpa, did you bring the extra money from yesterday's bet? Does it still count?"
Little Eagle Liu grinned: "Of course! Besides the ones that got caught, I brought several more pigeons with me! Even if your trick to scare away the weasels doesn't work, I'm not afraid!"
"Then we'll have to have a serious match! But there's one more question I forgot to ask: what do we do with the time after we've set up the trap?" Yue Feng asked with a smile.
"Your Uncle Li and I have already thought of this! Let's break the ice in the river branch below the hawthorn grove and go fishing! Look what I brought!"
While they were talking, Grandpa Liu took a handful of things out of his pocket and showed them to Yue Feng.
Seeing the tiny, round pellet the size of a fingertip in his palm, Yue Feng grinned.
This is a rare item, a foreign-made can!
The larvae of the cricket are called "yangla guan'er" and they overwinter on fruit tree branches. In the eyes of those who are interested, collecting them in advance can be quite useful.
Many people who raise songbirds in cages use it to fatten up their birds in winter. Some alcoholics also crave it and make it into a delicious snack to accompany their drinks.
Of course, the last use is for fishing in winter!
This stuff can sometimes be even more potent than bloodworms, and it's incredibly effective for ice fishing!
"Tsk tsk, what a rare find! How did you manage to keep it? My Uncle Li has been here for so many days, and I haven't even salted it up to have as a snack with his drinks!" Yue Feng said with a smile.
Grandpa Liu chuckled and said, "This thing was picked from the autumn peach tree outside the wall. It doesn't weigh much! It's a bit of a waste to eat it, but it's alright for fishing! In this freezing weather, it's hard to dig up earthworms, so this is just right!"
"Hehe, I'll have to try fishing for a while later! If I can catch a big crucian carp, I'll show off my skills tonight and make everyone some crispy crucian carp!" Yue Feng said with a smile.
"Alright! Let's give it a try with the nets ready! I have plenty of experience in finding schools of fish while ice fishing!" Grandpa Liu said confidently.
Fishing and hunting go hand in hand, and Yue Feng is also an expert at fishing. With just a few words, the group immediately became looking forward to the upcoming ice fishing.
The car followed yesterday's route, making several turns before entering the storage area. When it arrived at the spot where it had been parked yesterday, everyone got out of the car, bundled up tightly.
Grandpa Liu pulled out a handful of two-section bamboo poles from under his feet, along with several self-trapping nets and a small snow-sweeping broom.
"Let's go, let's go to the first spot! I've brought firecrackers too, white ones will do!" Grandpa Liu asked.
Yue Feng nodded: "No problem!"
Soon, the group arrived at the field they had seen the day before.
On the snow, the footprints left by the weasels during their nighttime activities had become much denser, indicating that they had probably gone along the shallow ditch by the roadside to the water's edge to look for food.
Yue Feng followed behind Grandpa Liu, and the four of them followed a trail of footprints to the vicinity of the spot that Yue Feng had chosen.
At the end of the forest path, this place was a small windy spot, and even the snow on the ground had thinned out considerably.
"Here it is! Xiaofeng, how do we build the snow wall you mentioned?" Grandpa Liu asked.
Yue Feng: "I'll take care of it! Xiao Dong, sweep the snow away first!"
"Okay, all done!" Xiao Dong immediately started sweeping the snow diligently.
Yue Feng stomped on the ground a few times, then bent down and rolled the snow into a ball, quickly creating a snowball the size of a volleyball by rolling it.
After finishing one, he started working on the second. Once he had made two snowballs, Yue Feng stopped working.
"Put the net pole here! Give me the bait, I'll tie it up!"
Yue Feng called out, took the gray pigeon from Grandpa Liu, tied it to the ground stake, and then placed two snowballs side by side near the north wind.
The snowball isn't big, but it's definitely big enough to shield the pigeons from the wind.
After doing all this, Yue Feng took the firecrackers from the old man, poured out the gunpowder, lit them, and instantly the smell of gunpowder filled the surroundings.
While the gunpowder was being lit, Grandpa Liu had also prepared the net pole for the self-trapping net, hung it up, surrounded the pigeons in the middle, and that was it!
"Is that all?" Xiao Dong asked curiously, scratching his head as he looked at the self-trapping net that had been set up.
Yue Feng nodded, glanced at the gray pigeons, took a step forward, opened the net on the north side, and picked up the pigeons again.
"What are you doing now?" Grandpa Liu asked.
Yue Feng didn't say anything, but quietly plucked dozens of feathers from the pigeon's back.
The feathers were rubbed in the snow and became wrinkled, then Yue Feng casually tossed them back into the net.
"Hehe, just a little trick, better than nothing! Let's go, there are still a few venues to go, let's get them all sorted out first!" (End of Chapter)
