Chapter 25: Inviting people to join the team
“Yeah, I know!”
Although Xiao Tao is a bit of a tiger, he has one advantage. As long as he recognizes people and things, he will be very successful. Can listen to opinions.
Yue Feng analyzed so much for him, and he nodded repeatedly without looking displeased at all.
In the next two and a half hours, Yue Feng took Xiao Tao over two more gentle slopes. The prey in his pockets included six more flying dragons, plus two sand half chickens. .
The sun unknowingly reached the top of the head, and Yue Feng and Xiao Tao, who were walking on the road, heard a growling sound from their stomachs.
"I'm hungry! Find a place to rest for a while! Pick up some dry wood and make a small fire! I brought dry food!" Yue Feng greeted.
"Okay, look at me!"
After receiving the order, Xiao Tao immediately got busy, walked around and came back with a bundle of dry branches.
The fire quickly rose, and Yue Feng took out the dry food that his mother packed in the morning from his satchel.
There are three large pork buns in the oil paper buns, and there are two large steamed buns with two noodles next to them. The quality of the food on this mountain is definitely the best even if you look at the whole village.
“Here, cut some branches, put the buns and dry food on the fire and heat them up!” Yue Feng took out a meat bun himself and handed the other two buns in the oil paper bag to Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao was stunned when he saw the white-flour buns, even before he had them in his mouth.
"White bread?" Xiao Tao asked.
"You can eat as long as I give it to you. How come there are so many dramas! You are my younger brother. You have been with me since childhood. When have you ever suffered a loss?" Brother Yue Feng was instantly full of energy.
When the steamed buns were briefly roasted over the flames and released the aroma of fat and green onions, Xiao Tao's mouth immediately started to water.
There are five members of the Li family, including Xiaotao and two younger sisters. Xiaotao’s mother suffered from some disease when she was giving birth to her third child and was unable to do heavy work, even though her father, Li Wentong, was a tractor driver in the brigade. The Li family's life is only slightly better than that of ordinary villagers.
Every year, only when it snows for the first time and Lao Li and Yue Lei start to go into the mountains to hunt, can the food quality of the family be better. The meat and meat oil of the mountain animals saved from hunting in winter can barely make enough food. It will be eaten up by the beginning of spring.
The cold meat buns in the morning, after being simply heated, the dough turned slightly yellow. Xiao Tao couldn't wait to take a bite, and the aroma suddenly overflowed, and he wanted to swallow it with his tongue.
“Purely stuffed with pork and green onions!” Xiao Tao said with bright eyes.
"Well, it's thirty cents each. I went to the city in the morning and bought it at the state-owned hotel!" Yue Feng said while playing with the dry food.
"Thirty cents a piece? It's so expensive. Where did you get the money?" Xiao Tao's heart sank when he heard the price. Such expensive buns were too luxurious for him.
“Go to the city and sell the flying dragon birds in the ghost market, and you’ll be rich! A living flying dragon bird with no damage is worth a dollar a piece, half a chicken with sand, and a living one with seven hairs!
Yesterday, I caught 18, and gave five to your family and the village secretary’s house, and sold the remaining 13.
You think the buns are expensive, but one! Just Feilong can buy almost four buns. Do you think it's still expensive?" Yue Feng told Xiao Tao everything about how he made money.
"I only knew that this flying dragon was worth some money, but I didn't expect it to be so valuable!"
After hearing Yue Feng's words, Xiao Tao's breathing became rapid.
The impact of Yue Feng's words on him was much greater than the fur of a weasel he caught that morning that could be sold for twenty or thirty yuan. Weasels are hard to find, and most Northeasterners are taboo about these things, but sand half chickens and flying dragons are not uncommon in the mountains, and you can basically encounter them wherever you go.
“Now the crackdown on speculation in the city has been much relaxed. In the ghost market, people are secretly selling food, bills, meat, oil, cloth, and other materials. Most ordinary villagers and hunters don’t dare to take risks yet!
Therefore, the supply of wild game such as Feilong and Shaban Chicken is very small. It is a seller’s market and exclusive trading, so naturally it can be sold at a high price! Moreover, when we use eagles to hunt, all we catch are alive, which can be sold at a higher price! "
"So far, we have caught eight flying dragons, three sand and half chickens, and one weasel. If we calculate it according to the price you said, wouldn't it cost thirty or forty yuan? ? "Xiao Tao counted with his fingers, and the expression on his face became even more exciting.
In one morning's work, he can earn thirty or forty yuan, which is as much as Xiao Tao's father, a tractor driver, who works in the production team. The annual income is more.
“Yes! I also got to know a master chef who was in charge of purchasing at a coal mine. He said that he would cover all the quantities of game that were in short supply! "
Xiao Tao took a big mouthful of meat buns and said thoughtfully: "It's a pity that you are the only one who can train this little eagle. If you can train more eagles, find more people who can fly eagles up the mountain to catch them. Feilong would be great! ”
Hearing what Xiao Tao said, Yue Feng knew in his heart that the heat had come, and said with a smile: "Why do you think I take you up the mountain and teach you how to fly an eagle step by step? How about, let's do it with my brother, let's join forces and earn this money together." !”
“Really! Brother, are you really willing to teach me how to fly an eagle?”
Hearing what Yue Feng said, Xiao Tao suddenly felt that even the big meat buns didn’t taste good.
"If you are willing to do it, I will find a few eagle spots to catch a few more eagles tomorrow, and then we will make money together!"
"Of course I am willing! A flying dragon If you sell more than one yuan, even if you give me 20%, you still have two cents! If you work hard, you can earn several yuan a day. In a month, it will be more than the forestry workers. There are too many!" Xiao Tao said clearly.
"Okay, you go home and discuss it with Uncle Li. By the way, ask Xiaowen and Xiaowu brothers. You and them are old friends. I'm right about this!"
"Are you willing to take Xiaowen with you? Brothers? "
Hearing what Yue Feng said, Xiao Tao's eyes changed completely.
Xiao Tao's mother and Xiaowen's mother are cousins, so the two families are distant relatives. They live in the same village. The children of the two families have a good relationship since they were young, but at this point in time, Yue Feng and Xiaowen are interacting with each other. We don't move around very often, we just nod our acquaintances.
I became really familiar with them in my previous life when Yue Feng's father died unexpectedly and after Yue Feng went hunting in the mountains.
"My dad said that they are friendly and reliable. A fence has three stakes, and a hero has three gangs. If we want to do big things, we must unite our own team!" Yue Feng said solemnly.
"The life of his family is indeed quite hard, but my uncle in your family is right, Xiaowen and Xiaowu are both loyal! I will tell him when I go back today, they heard this News, I will definitely agree!”
“It’s settled! Eat quickly, and when you’re full, we’ll go to another mountain ridge and go back before dark!” >"Okay!"
After finalizing the candidates for the falconry team, Yue Feng was in a good mood. The two brothers filled their stomachs with water from the kettle, and then continued to fly falcons.
