Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 937 Eating and Taking
Upstairs, I reported the important matter.
After Yue Feng and the old man went downstairs, they didn't discuss any serious matters until the end of the luncheon. They talked about family matters, the old folks, and the children.
Wang Hu and his family of three were all present. Yue Feng could clearly sense that the old man was much more relaxed in front of his grandson. As soon as he finished eating, he couldn't wait to pick up his grandson and playfully tease him.
Seeing that his father was too busy coaxing his son to pay attention to him, Wang Hu gave Yue Feng a wink.
"Dad, I'm going to take a walk in the back with Xiaofeng! You take care of the child first!"
"Go!"
……
With permission granted, Yue Feng followed Wang Hu and left the restaurant, heading straight for the storage room at the back.
"Brother Tiger, is there anything else? It would be nice to have some tea and chat with the old man!" Yue Feng asked curiously.
Wang Hu curled his lip: "Didn't we already talk about everything we needed to talk about upstairs? That's just the way my dad is, he's really boring when it comes to small talk!"
"Where are we going?" Yue Feng asked again.
Wang Hu said in a matter-of-fact tone, "A lot of things in the warehouse at home have been sitting there for a long time. If we don't clean them up soon, they'll all get moldy."
Since you've come all this way, I'll pack some for you to take back with you!
"Since you're staying in Beijing, you'll definitely have a lot of friends coming and going at the courtyard house. All of these things will come in handy!"
Hearing this, Yue Feng felt a warmth in his heart.
Wang Hu, as the elder brother, truly treats Yue Feng like family.
Soon, the two brothers arrived downstairs, and Wang Hu went to the parking lot first.
"Have you eaten yet, buddy? Move the car over there and drive it to the back door!" Wang Hu greeted him politely.
The driver had already eaten lunch at the car depot. Upon hearing the call, he immediately started the car and drove it to the side of the back door storage room as instructed by Wang Hu.
Wang Hu took out his key and led Yue Feng into the storage room, where a faint musty smell filled their nostrils.
Yue Feng glanced at it casually and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "This is what a wealthy family looks like!"
Cases of aged Moutai and Wuliangye liquor, cases of specially supplied cigarettes, and various exquisitely packaged gift boxes, mountain products, tea, etc., are neatly arranged on several high shelves.
Before entering the house, Wang Hu said that these high-end goods were almost covered in mold, and Yue Feng thought he was joking.
After reading it, Yue Feng realized that it was an objective description and not a joke at all.
These things are arranged so densely that you might mistake them for a warehouse in the high-value section of a mid-sized supermarket.
Wang Hu didn't hesitate. He glanced down at the shelves, checked the approximate time tags, and after confirming that everything was in order, he carried the items out.
"Don't just stand there, move it out! Move everything you can use!"
"oh oh!"
Yue Feng responded and immediately joined the ranks of those moving the goods.
The necessities such as cigarettes and alcohol needed for normal welcoming and sending off people were carried in more than ten boxes before we stopped.
Wang Hu then loaded some beautifully packaged gifts into the car.
In less than fifteen minutes, the car Yue Feng was in was completely filled, except for the driver's seat and the passenger seat.
"Alright, Tiger, we can't fit any more in!" Yue Feng couldn't help but sigh.
"Once this opportunity is missed, who knows when the next one will come! My dad and I aren't home, and my mom doesn't care about these little things!"
As Wang Hu spoke with a smirk, he stuffed several large bags of tea into the gap in the back seat.
"Well, as far as I know, the old man doesn't like all that welcoming and sending off ceremony! Where did all these things come from?" Yue Feng muttered curiously.
Wang Hu didn't shy away from the topic at all: "My dad really rarely accepts gifts from outsiders! But he's been in this position for half his life, and there are always people he can't refuse, like his students and old friends!"
Throughout the year, during the three major festivals and two birthdays, we always have to give gifts to our relatives as a token of our appreciation. These gifts have gradually accumulated!
When I was at home, I would either use this thing myself or secretly take it out to exchange for money if I was short of cash!
Now that he's been sent to another place and rarely comes back, the inventory in the warehouse is getting bigger and bigger!
Wine from those years was fine, but cigarettes, tea, and other things would spoil if not used up!
Consider this trip as helping me clear out this inventory!
"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony with you! If that doesn't work, I'll find a Liberation truck, okay?" Yue Feng's lips curled up slightly as he joked.
Wang Hu grinned and shook his head: "Trucks can't get into this yard! Here's what you do, you take this load back first!"
Before I go home, if I'm still here, I'll come back again and bring some back for my relatives and friends back home! My godparents haven't even benefited from my generosity yet!
"Row!"
……
Yue Feng loaded a truck with supplies and returned to the living room. The old man received a phone call, dressed in formal attire, and went out. Yue Feng saw this, greeted him, and prepared to leave.
The report has been given, the family dinner has been eaten, and the gifts have been taken. Since the old man has something to attend to, Yue Feng should leave now.
Wang Hu personally escorted Yue Feng to the gate of the compound, and then the soldier driving the car sped away, heading straight for the courtyard.
On the way back, the soldier driving couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sir, there's something I'd like to ask!"
Yue Feng turned his head slightly and glanced at the soldier: "What's the matter? Just ask. I'm not a leader in an official uniform, and we're about the same age, so there's no need to be so reserved!"
The soldier asked, "If I remember correctly, this compound was the XX Compound, right? It's full of important people!"
We've come all the way to Beijing, and everyone else is bringing big bags and bundles of stuff, but here we are, hauling things back!
Yue Feng grinned: "Giving gifts is a way of showing respect and concern! Taking things away is because people don't consider me an outsider!"
This is my godfather's house. Our place doesn't have all the things we need for entertaining guests, so bringing some back will save us money to buy more!
"Once this trip is over and we get back, you'll get a share too. My brother Jun has already spoken to your boss, so you can relax and stay put!"
"Understood!" The soldier driving the car nodded, trying to appear calm on the surface, but his heart was already in turmoil.
Comparisons are odious. I worked myself to the bone, but all I managed to do was become an ordinary driver in the army's motorcade.
But the young man sitting in the passenger seat actually has such a powerful background.
……
Amidst these complex emotions, the soldier drove Yue Feng back to his courtyard house.
Li Guangkun was staying in the eagle enclosure in the south wing near the gate when he heard the sound of a car engine at the door and immediately opened the door to greet it.
"Xiaofeng, you're back so early!"
"Hey Li, have you had lunch yet?" Yue Feng replied.
"I've eaten. I just got home. Young Master Jin drove to pick me up, and we went out to eat together! Young Master Jin went to pick someone up, but he didn't find him. Your Uncle Li was taken to the farm by people arranged by Young Master Ye." Li Guangkun said casually.
"You haven't seen my Uncle Li yet?" "No, I haven't seen him in person yet. I only found out the details after Young Master Jin called to ask."
He said that the monkeys and goats were difficult to keep in the courtyard, so he took them to the club's premises!
"I'll stay there for now and come back to rest tonight!"
"Okay, I'll ask the housekeeper to prepare a few more dishes tonight, and we'll have another meal at home! Oh, and give me a hand, help unload the supplies from the truck!"
"it is good!"
Li Guangkun thought the truck was carrying some kind of supplies, but when he saw the boxes of cigarettes and alcohol stacked high, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Are they robbing a Chinese-owned store?" Li Guangkun asked.
"Hehe, I took it from the old man's house before I left!"
I don't live in Beijing permanently, and I don't have much stock left in this courtyard house! My older brother knew about this, so he moved some things from his home! He moved them all to the storage room in the west wing!
"it is good!"
All three of them pitched in and quickly unloaded all the boxes and gifts from the truck and moved them into the west wing for temporary storage.
Without hesitation, Yue Feng casually opened a box of special-supply cigarettes, took out two cartons, and handed them to Li Guangkun.
"I don't smoke either. You can have this cigarette first, and take another one when you're done! This one is yours, soldier!"
The special-supply cigarettes didn't have any patterns on the outside, but there was a red stamp on the back. Even if Old Li and the soldier were stupid, they knew it was a good product and thanked him repeatedly.
After unloading the truck and having a sip of tea, Yue Feng quickly regained his composure.
There's nothing to do at home, so I might as well go check out the club. Maybe I can help with something.
Thinking of this, Yue Feng called out, and the three of them got into the car and headed straight for the club's location in the south of the city.
By the time we arrived at the club, it was already past 2 p.m.
Several more Jiefang brand trucks arrived at the club's main entrance, and many workers were unloading tables, chairs, benches, and other items.
Yue Feng got out of the passenger seat and glanced at the kiln pit area below.
One by one, the huge tents have been set up, and the tables, chairs and other supplies delivered to the entrance are probably for the exhibition area below.
After glancing at it, Yue Feng strolled off to the tea room.
Although he appeared calm, he was secretly a little curious.
How good is Li Fulin's family heirloom court rabbit and falcon saddlecloth? Yue Feng, the goat, is familiar with it, but monkeys don't exist in Northeast China. In his previous life, Yue Feng had only seen it once at a zoo in another city.
Just as I reached the door, I heard a piercing scream from inside the house.
Yue Feng froze for a moment.
Snap! The sharp crack of the whip startled Yue Feng.
Pushing open the door, Yue Feng glanced around with some confusion.
Good heavens! Li Fulin was holding a thin whip and scolding a monkey wearing a little vest! Jinlong sat in a chair next to him, watching with great interest.
"What's going on, Uncle Li? Why are you using a whip?" Yue Feng asked curiously.
When Li Fulin saw Yue Feng arrive, he put down his whip and shook hands with Yue Feng.
"Xiaofeng's here! Come in and have a seat, I'm dealing with this little rascal! And this is..."
Li Fulin's gaze swept over Li Guangkun; the two were meeting for the first time and didn't recognize each other.
"Let me introduce you. This is my Uncle Li, Li Fulin! He was from the same family as you five hundred years ago, also known as Li Guangkun from Yingtun!"
"I call Brother Li my brother, and you two are from the same clan, so let's address each other separately!" Yue Feng gave the two a brief introduction.
"Hello, hello! Xiaofeng has mentioned you before!" Li Guangkun greeted him politely.
"Hello! Let's stick to our lineage! May I ask which branch of the Li family you belong to? How many generations are in your family tree?" Li Fulin asked with a smile.
"We are Manchus who changed our surname to Li, so we shouldn't be on the same level as you!"
In Li Guangkun's view, the Li family has several ancestral branches, and the Li family members who changed their surname from Manchus and the Li family members who were commoners are indeed not the same.
However, after hearing this, Li Fulin slapped his forehead and his eyes lit up instantly.
"Hey, what a coincidence! My family also changed from the Manchu banner to the Li! We're the eleventh generation here!"
“I am also the eleventh generation!” Li Guangkun said with some surprise.
"Haha, we're family! We're both from the same generation, so it's perfectly fine for you to call me 'Big Brother'!"
"Hehe, I didn't expect that you all belong to the same ancestral branch!" Yue Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
One is in Yingtun, the other in Tianjin. These two Lis actually managed to come together, and they're both men who love eagles. Who can you reason with that? You can only attribute it to fate.
Li Fulin and Li Guangkun shook hands and chatted for a long time before finally sitting down.
Taking the opportunity, Yue Feng asked, "Uncle Li, what happened just now? I heard from Grandpa Liu that the monkey was almost trained, so why was he being whipped with a small leather whip?"
Li Fulin picked up the whip, pointed at the monkey cowering by the chair, and said, "This monkey won't behave unless it gets a beating!"
I figured it'd be on stage in a couple of days, so I'd give it a break. But while I was eating lunch, it stuffed a whole pack of cigarettes into my teacup!
"Um...aren't you afraid of breaking it?"
Yue Feng scratched his head, unsure how to offer advice.
Li Fulin explained, "Monkeys, monkeys, they won't learn their lesson if they don't get a beating every day! This is not the same approach as training eagles!"
The horsehair whip used to train monkeys won't hurt their skin; it's just meant to teach them a lesson!
"Will it work after just a few hits?"
"Well, to be precise, it works as long as you raise the whip! Come here, bring the plate of melon seeds over!" Li Fulin called out to the monkey.
The next second, the little monkey trotted over to the tea table, picked up the plate of melon seeds with both hands, and carried it over steadily without missing a single melon seed.
"Hey! It's really obedient! What's its name?"
"His name is Pipi! The buyer told me he's three years old this year, and very mischievous! But he's also very smart and learns things very quickly!"
"You've trained them all to play that game? I haven't seen any other birds or sheep?" Yue Feng asked curiously.
"The sheep are in the pen, that thing is dirty, they can't come inside!"
Actually, with my method, monkeys and sheep are relatively easy to train. You only need a few simple actions and commands, and once they learn them, they can execute them!
The hardest part was getting the stack of straw to remove the hat from the rabbit and tiger!
Yue Feng nodded and continued, "How did the hat-removal training go? Were the piles of peach blossoms made from albino flowers? I heard about it from Grandpa Liu!"
"The training is already quite stable! How about we go out later and give you a live demonstration?" (End of Chapter)
