Chapter 56 The business of training the eagle
The Zhu family was fighting with the Yue family, and the story that Old Zhu got a big mouth from the second boy of the Yue family soon spread in the village.
Originally, the Yue Feng family had just bought a bicycle, which was the top news in the village. Now that the Yue family is fighting against the Zhu family and winning a great victory, the Yue family's status in the eyes of the villagers is even higher.
Even the Zhu family, the dominant tyrant in the village, was dealt with. This second son of the Yue family is very capable.
In the next few days, Yue Feng went up the mountain with everyone in the morning as usual, and after returning in the afternoon, he rode his bike to the city to deliver game.
Go to the city every day and bring back the money from the sales and distribute it to the brothers who are together. Every now and then, I cook a few dishes and have a drink on the kang, and my little life is enjoyable.
On the other side, Zhu Erhai felt a little uncomfortable. His father's slap on the arm made Zhu Erhai unable to get off the kang for three days.
Zhu Jianshe has not been idle these days. His son is lying down, but he cannot let go of training the eagle, so he and his wife no longer go to the mountains to collect wild products, and work in reverse shifts. eagle.
It has been about a week since the big eagle came out of the net two days ago. For five or six days in a row, the eagle has hardly slept on people, but it still has no intention of surrendering at this moment.
Older generations of falconers know that one year is yellow and three years is dragon. This speaks of the age of the falcon.
The three-year dragon was not only saying that the eagle was very capable, but also that this old guy was not easy to take care of. The sub-adult that had just left the nest had a smaller temper and less wild nature, so it was relatively easy to tame it.
The eagle, which has lived in the wild for three years, has grown from a sub-adult to a mature body. It has a rebellious temper and is surprisingly energetic.
If Yue Feng were to take care of this Baba Eagle at this moment, on the basis of raising the frame to boil the Eagle, he would definitely cooperate with the continuous lowering of the axis and control of food to lose weight to reduce the Eagle's physical reserves.
But Zhu Jianshe didn’t understand the meaning of this. In order to feed the eagle, Zhu Kaishan went everywhere to set mousetraps in the soybean fields to catch rats. Although the eagle was tortured, it was still in human hands. After serving the food, you will be full every time.
The eagle has always had food in its belly, and it has not lost weight. Instead, it is slightly heavier than when it was first taken off the net. If you want to make the eagle succumb in this situation, it will definitely not take a few nights to make the eagle succumb. It can be done.
Judging from an outsider's objective perspective, it would take at least ten nights to soften Ying's temper.
Of course, even if the temperament of the eagle is almost tempered, there is still a long way to go before hunting. These things are all determined when choosing this daddy eagle. things.
A week passed in a blink of an eye.
That day, Yue Feng rode his bicycle to the second canteen in the evening to deliver goods. After counting the quantities and handing over the payment, he was pulled to the lounge by Niu Fusheng.
"Brother Niu, what's the matter?" Yue Feng glanced at Niu Fusheng, wondering what the matter was.
"Xiaoyue, can you do me a favor!"
"Ah? You said, if it can be done, I will definitely do it!"
"In recent times, in our cafeteria, It’s a bit non-stop, I feel a bit stressed!” Niu Fusheng said vaguely.
"Huh? What do you mean? You can tell me what you want to say. Our friendship doesn't need to beat around the bush!"
"The old man from the cafeteria, I don't know where, got it done too. A lot of game! Our position in the second dining hall is a bit unstable now!
These leaders have been eating Feilong and Shabanji all day long, and they seem to be a little tired! Can you help me think of some tricks and make some other game with more tricks? Niu Fusheng said with some embarrassment.
Niu Fusheng knew that Yue Feng was just a hawk, so now he is asking Yue Feng to help catch other game, which is a bit difficult.
Listen At this point, Yue Feng is not too surprised. He eats good things every day, and sometimes he has enough.
"What tricks do they have over there?" "There are pheasants, rabbits, and occasionally roe deer and wild boar!" There are also flying dragons and sand half chickens, but very few are alive and most of them are dead! "Niu Fusheng clapped his fingers and said with all his treasures.
"They are all spicy, right?" After hearing this, Yue Feng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and guessed with a smile.
“How do you know?”
“What’s so hard to guess? Without heavy materials, it’s difficult to press it down without the earthy smell of bleeding prey!” Yue Feng explained.
"That's true! Can you get these things? If you can, just do your brother a favor. The purchase price is negotiable!"
Yue Feng nodded and asked by the way: "Okay ! I will study it! In addition to the previous Shaban Chicken and Feilong, the ones that will be in demand in the future will mainly be pheasants and hares, right?”
"Yes! Mainly pheasants, hares, roe deer and wild boar. Occasionally I can buy them from the ghost market. The pheasants and hares are best fresh. I want them to know what real craftsmanship is!" Niu Fusheng was very conceited. said.
"Okay, I'll think of a solution as soon as possible. If everything goes well, it will take about ten days to half a month!"
"Will it take so long?"
Yue Feng nodded and explained: "Well, the dead ones are easy to catch, but the live ones are hard to catch!
If you want to catch pheasants and rabbits stably, the eagle at home can't do this job. You have to go up the mountain to catch the big eagle. The new eagle will go down the net. It will take seven to ten days to get out of the siege!”
"Okay, I'll wait a few more days! I'll wait for your good news!"
"Then I'll go back first!"
......
Leaved the Second Canteen, Yue Feng got on his bicycle and left in the direction of going home.
Along the way, Yue Feng thought about many issues. The current business model of catching pheasants and selling them for money is still a bit too simple.
It's not impossible to make money by catching flying dragons with the few kites at home, but due to the limitations of the falcon's capabilities, the types of prey are somewhat limited.
No matter how powerful the big green harrier at home is, the prey it can catch is as big as a pheasant, and every time it is released, it is an adventure that can block the entire hunting season. If you are careful, you risk losing the eagle or even injuring it.
If you want to expand your falconry business, you must continue to expand its categories.
Originally I planned to save enough money to buy guns and dogs directly and switch to fighting in the big siege, but now it seems that this idea is somewhat idealistic. I want to keep the cash cow business of delivering game to the coal mine canteen. There is still no way around training the eagle.
The big eagle mentioned here is the female of the goshawks. According to the saying passed down by the old falconers, the female of the goshawks is called the big eagle, also called the rabbit eagle. It mainly catches rabbits, pheasants and bobcats. Big prey.
The male goshawk is called a chicken hawk. It mainly catches prey ranging from chickens to flying dragons to pheasants. The regular chicken hawk basically does the job of hunting kites. The difference is that it is larger in size and can catch pheasants. You won't suffer any losses at any time, unlike the business of catching pheasants with a kite, which is so risky.
Seeing this, some people may want to ask, since Yue Feng is good at training falcons, then since there is a demand in the market, he should do it, why does he seem to be hesitant and not willing to reach out.
Yue Feng really doesn’t want to train the eagle, it’s just too much trouble.
