Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

Once the pig's trotters have been stewed long enough, add the pan-fried fish and continue stewing for another 20 to 30 minutes.

Ladle out the soup, add salt and chopped green onions, and a pot of perfect pork trotter and crucian carp soup is ready.

"Wow! Little brother, it smells delicious!"

Chang Mei's eyes lit up; she felt that this tasted much better than her favorite fried cicadas.

"This was specially stewed for you by your brother, have a taste." Liu Meifen smiled and praised Chang Kun.

Chang Mei glanced at her younger brother, understanding that this was for Xiao Bao's food supply. She smiled slightly, lowered her head, and took a bite.

It tastes really good!

The family sipped their milky white soup, while the little girls gnawed on the soft, sweet pig's trotters. They had a wonderful time that night!

I've never eaten a late-night snack in my entire life, let alone braised crucian carp with pig's trotters.

After eating and drinking his fill, Chang Kun lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and opened the system to check.

[Ding! Spy 1/1 captured, reward: Disguise (greatly reduces the chance of being detected by prey)]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 420 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 1100 meters.]

[Ding! 50/50 fish caught, reward: 5 jin of wild large yellow croaker.]

[The current host can sense prey weighing less than 440 jin (approximately 860 kg) within a range of 1150 meters.]

Chang Kun's eyes lit up. Disguise, this is a good thing!

With this, it's harder for prey to detect you while hunting, allowing you to get closer and shoot, greatly increasing your hit rate.

Even when dealing with small prey, they can get very close and catch them by hand.

Large yellow croaker is also a good thing; it is said that this fish is extremely nutritious.

In later generations, wild yellow croakers were priced at least several thousand yuan, and large wild yellow croakers could sell for tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram.

Luckily, we have two pig trotters left at home. We can stew them with yellow croaker tomorrow night...

Silent all night.

The next morning, before his younger sister had even woken up, Chang Kun slung his gun over his shoulder and headed out the door.

He was going to search for red deer.

I rode my bike all the way there, then hid behind a tree, put the bike away in my storage space, and headed towards the hillside where I had found the deer.

In the early morning in the mountains, all kinds of animals hibernate.

As Chang Kun traveled along, the system detected a variety of prey, but unfortunately, there were no big ones.

After searching for more than an hour in the mountains and crossing several peaks, there was no sign of deer.

Left with no other choice, Chang Kun killed two wild rabbits and threw them into his spatial storage.

I rode my bike all the way to the vicinity of the neighborhood office, found a deserted alley, took out a burlap sack containing wild rabbits, black carp, and catfish.

The flow of time within the space remained constant, and the fish looked exactly as if it had just been caught.

When I arrived at the door of the street office director's office, the door was open.

'Knock knock knock'.

Chang Kun knocked on the door a few times. Director Wang of the neighborhood office looked up from behind his desk, saw that it was Chang Kun, and quickly waved him over: "Little Kun is here, come in quickly."

The blue sheep that Chang Kun brought last time made her feel quite proud, and she's been thinking about whether Chang Kun has hunted any rare prey these past few days.

Chang Kun put the sack on the ground: "Aunt Wang, I caught two wild rabbits and a few fish. Come and have a taste."

Director Wang smiled broadly: "You even brought gifts for Auntie's visit, that's too kind of you."

"How's it going? I overheard a bit about your work last time, how's it going?"

"Aunt Wang, everything is taken care of. I work at the animal research institute, my father works at the police station next door, and my mother works at the supply and marketing cooperative with Sister Wang Cuiqin."

"Wow! Xiao Kun, you're quite capable. Your whole family has moved to the city to work!" Director Wang said, somewhat surprised.

It's not easy for farmers to go to work in the city. Chang Kun's family of three went to the city at the same time, and even she, a division-level cadre, had to go through a lot of trouble to handle it.

"There's no other way. Life in the countryside is too hard. I have three younger sisters at home, and we can barely support them if we don't move to the city."

Director Wang sensed something was amiss in Chang Kun's words and asked directly, "What? Are there still difficulties after entering the city?"

"It's not that all three adults in our family work in the city, and we're really worried about leaving the three little ones at home. We wish we could get housing in the city."

Chang Kun was just waiting to say those words. He had a complicated family relationship with Director Wang, and he sold him sheep and gave him wild game, all in order to get Director Wang to do him a favor.

Upon hearing this, Director Wang understood that they had come to ask him to arrange housing.

She hesitated for a moment, recalling the housing ranking list, and nodded: "Don't worry, Xiao Kun, I'll try my best to arrange it for you."

Chang Kun secretly curled his lip. What did he mean by "as much as possible"?

If it's arranged, we can say we'll try our best; if it's not arranged, we can still say we'll try our best.

The character for "official" has two mouths; that's a very apt description.

It seems that if I want to get housing sooner, I'll have to spend a lot more money and send some more gifts.

This Director Wang isn't really a relative, so it's already quite good that we've managed to establish a connection.

Many people, and often, simply want to give gifts but can't find a way to do so.

Chang Kun inwardly complained, but his expression remained unchanged as he repeatedly thanked Director Wang.

After chatting for a few minutes, I said goodbye and left.

Director Wang got up, opened the sack, and looked at the wild rabbits and fish inside, slightly surprised.

This young Chang Kun is really quite generous.

The two wild rabbits weighed about ten pounds, and the five or six fish also weighed about ten pounds. Although these two items are not as valuable as pork, they are not cheap either.

I was thinking of just adding his family's name to the housing allocation list, but now it seems I'll have to move his family's ranking forward.

……

Upon arriving at the Institute of Zoology, Chang Kun had just entered the office when he heard Cheng Rongjiang's voice.

"Xiao Kun, you've come at the right time. Come with me to Director Fu's place."

"Uncle Cheng, is there a mission?"

Cheng Rongjiang nodded: "Director Fu's current research topic is the spotted antelope, oh, people in the mountains call it the blue sheep."

I heard you got your bicycle by trading it for a Qingyang bicycle, so I recommended you to them.

After saying that, he turned around and looked around. Seeing that no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, "You better behave yourself. This Director Fu is very generous and has a lot of good stuff."

Chang Kun blinked but didn't speak. In this day and age, what good stuff could they possibly have? Could they possibly give him a phone to watch videos and live streams? ...

After thinking about it, something felt off. He hadn't told Cheng Rongjiang about fighting in Qingyang, so how would Cheng Rongjiang know?

Cheng Rongjiang chuckled and explained that Cheng Min had told him, and Cheng Min had learned about it when Chang Qing and the other girls were bragging about their older brother.

Chang Kun gave a wry smile. This Chang Qing, when he grew up, was also a big mouth, telling everyone everything.

He was unaware that Chang Qing had already told Cheng Min about Qin Meiru's visit to his home to become his sister-in-law.

Following Cheng Rongjiang to Director Fu's office, there were already three people inside.

The young man in the center of the room stood ramrod straight, his face serious; he was clearly a soldier.

A dark-skinned, thin old man was standing nearby, muttering something.

Sitting at the desk was a capable middle-aged man, listening attentively to the elderly man's words with a smile.

"Old Fu, I've brought the guy to you. This young man is very capable. Treat me to dinner later." Cheng Rongjiang introduced him to Director Fu and then turned to leave.

"Welcome Chang Kun. This is Ying Qiangjun, who just retired from the army a year ago. He is the captain of our hunting team and has superb marksmanship."

This is Tian Asheng, an old hunter from Shiligou in the north. He is responsible for guiding and capturing animals, and he is also one of the veteran samplers in our institute.

Come to think of it, you and Chang Kun are in the same profession; you're both skilled hunters.

Veteran Ying Qiangjun turned to look at Chang Kun, frowned slightly, and nodded gently as a greeting.

Tian Asheng chuckled and asked Chang Kun where he was from, striking up a casual conversation as if he had no interest in the arrival of his colleague, Chang Kun.

"Alright, now that everyone knows each other, let's talk about our mission." Director Fu clapped his hands, interrupting their conversation.

"The mission to capture the serow has been going on for more than a month, but there has been no progress so far."

I heard that Chang Kun previously hunted two serows. I hope that after you join us, you can help us capture serows alive as soon as possible and complete the sampling.

Tian Asheng's old face drooped slightly. He had been leading a team in the mountains for more than a month as a guide, but had gained nothing. He was a little embarrassed.

Chang Kun was supposedly invited by his superiors to help out, but in reality, he was there to replace Tian Asheng as director.

Chang Kun doesn't look as old as his son. Let's see what this kid is capable of.
