Chapter 97 Going up the mountain to explore
This is good news. If you can maintain a relative balance between the first canteen and the second canteen, then your prey sales channels will be more stable. The last tip, It was actually a win-win plan for all three parties, and I didn’t expect it to actually work out.
"The relationship is great! You don't have so much pressure, and the prey I caught has more stable digestive channels! Good thing!
I'll tell you good news too, wait. If the snow becomes a little firmer, our hunter team will consider going into the mountains to hunt. By then, the supply of prey such as roe deer and wild boars may also follow!" Yue Feng smiled and nodded repeatedly.
“Buy a gun?”
"Yeah! I just got a new 56 and a half. If you're lucky, let alone the roe deer and wild boar, you can also knock down the blind bear!" Yue Feng said confidently.
"Okay, if you find the in-demand game ingredients like bear paws, you can send them to me, and the price will definitely be high!"
"Okay! That's it. It’s settled!”
…
After a brief exchange, Yue Feng finished counting and delivering all today’s game, then said hello, left the second canteen, and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Thinking of using plastic sheets to build a greenhouse under the eaves of the main house, Yue Feng quickly came to the supply and marketing cooperative.
It’s six twenty-two in the evening, eight minutes before getting off work.
Behind the counter, the final preparations were being made before closing. When someone came in, the salesperson behind the counter raised his head.
"Ah, it's you!" Li Li took the initiative to say hello after seeing clearly that the person coming was Yue Feng.
"Hello, comrade! Does our supply and marketing cooperative have plastic sheeting? If so, help me get some!" Yue Feng nodded at the other party and put forward his needs politely.
"There is plastic sheeting, but you must have a ticket! Have you brought a ticket?"
"Yes! I plan to pull it to a length of about 20 meters. Do you have enough tickets?"
"Ah "You want so many tickets?" Li Li said after counting the industrial tickets handed over by Yue Feng.
"Uh, that's enough!"
"Wait a minute! Let me take a look!" Li Li did not rush to pull the plastic sheeting for Yue Feng, but took it from her own He rummaged through his bill folder.
Soon, an industrial ticket with a denomination of five cents was found.
"This ticket was issued by our unit. I can't use it, so I'll give it to you!" Li Li said very proactively.
"This...is a little bad, isn't it? How much should I give you?"
Yue Feng was confused for a second when he heard that the salesperson wanted to give the industrial ticket to himself. .
Don’t say you can’t use it. In this era, the supply is less than the demand. When buying goods with tickets, materials are in short supply. Even if you can’t use them yourself, you can still exchange them with others for tickets that can be used. Besides, this industrial ticket can There are a lot of things to buy, so there's no reason why they won't be useful.
"No money, just take it and use it!" Li Li waved her hands repeatedly.
"Then I'll make a big deal out of you!" Yue Feng didn't hesitate too much and said with a smile.
“When you have some mountain goods to sell later, just come and help me complete some purchasing tasks! Didn’t I mention it to you last time, but the price for receiving furs from our supply and marketing cooperative has been unified across the province. Set the standard!" Li Li continued.
Yue Feng was somewhat impressed and nodded: "Okay, I still have some greyhound skins and yellow leaf skins at home that are almost drying. If you go to the city next time, bring them with you!"
< br>"Those are all in short supply, and this year's acquisition plan is still far away! If you have it, be sure to come to me! By the way, I don't know your name yet!"< br>
"My name is Yue Feng, and I live in Xing'an Village!"
"Okay, I remember! Let's go, I will take you to cut plastic sheets!"
Soon, Yue Feng was led by Li Li I went to the counter on the other side and cut twenty meters of plastic sheeting, rolled it into a thick roll, and put it under my arm.
"Then I'll leave first!"
"Okay, it's snowing outside, be careful when you go home!"
Until he left the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative, Yue Feng felt that his head was still confused.
The salespersons of this supply and marketing cooperative are all very arrogant. They actually offered their own share of the bill and took the initiative to help. If Yue Feng hadn't experienced it personally, he wouldn't have believed it from other people's mouths.
Could it be that this young lady has taken a fancy to herself? It shouldn't be. Judging from her hairstyle, this Li Li is married.
Since he is not interested in himself, he can only interpret this proactive gesture as a way to win over Yue Feng to come to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell leather goods and help complete the acquisition plan.
Since the purchase price has been unified across the province, there won’t be much difference in prices elsewhere, so I simply took the time to bring the leather I saved at home and exchange it for money.
The plastic sheet was fixed with a rope on the back seat, and then Yue Feng rode his bicycle towards home.
When they got home, to Yue Feng's surprise, neither Xiaotao, his son nor the Zhang brothers left.
Everyone was in a hurry in the firewood pile behind the house, looking for a lot of uncut trees and other materials, and had almost arranged the wooden frame for the greenhouse in front of the eaves. .
“I bought the plastic sheet!” Yue Feng greeted and walked to everyone with the roll of cloth.
In the Northeast, this plastic sheet is a necessity. When the weather gets cold, you must use it to seal the windows so that the wind cannot easily blow through.
Yue Feng calculated the several windows at home before going out. He used scissors to cut the plastic sheets according to the size. Soon Xiao Tao took a hammer and nails to order the plastic sheets.
Suddenly, Yue Feng remembered a problem. Grandma Li’s house in the back neighbor hadn’t ordered windows yet.
The old woman is old, and the village department sends people to do this kind of window ordering work every year. However, this year it snows and the temperature drops early. If the windows are not sealed in time, even if the kang is heated at night, , the temperature in the room will also lose rapidly in the middle of the night.
Thinking of this, Yue Feng greeted: "Cut another three meters of plastic sheeting and make the greenhouse in front of the eaves a little shorter!"
"What's wrong with Xiaofeng?" Li Wentong asked.
"Grandma Li's house hasn't sealed the windows yet. We'll finish our work later and help her to seal her house as well. The snow came early this year!" "Okay, Xiaotao, you go do this job now. There are many of us. The family has enough!" Li Wentong immediately ordered Xiao Tao to work after hearing Yue Feng's reminder.
"Let me go! Sometimes Xiao Tao doesn't pay much attention to what he says. If he accidentally says something, don't make Grandma Li feel unhappy!"
Yue Feng personally After taking the errand, I took the hammer and the cut plastic sheet and went to Grandma Li's house.
To be pitiful, the lonely old man who has lost the backbone of his family is really pitiful. The heavy snow in the yard only cleared a Y-shaped walkway leading to the toilet and the gate, and the snow was piled up everywhere else. There was no movement there.
It’s not that Grandma Li is lazy, it’s just that she is too old and has no strength. She is gradually unable to cope with these trivial tasks in the cold outdoors.
When Yue Feng entered the north room, there was no warmth in the room. Grandma Li was burning a kang next to the fire pit.
"Milk! Let me order plastic sheeting for you!!" Yue Feng walked in and said hello proactively.
"It's Xiaofeng, I want to trouble you to do some work for the nurse again! It snowed a bit early this year, and I'm thinking of going to the village headquarters to look for Jianguo tomorrow!" Grandma Li hurriedly got up from the small stool.
“You can continue to burn the kang, don’t worry about it! I’ll be ready for this little job in a moment!”
Yue Feng quickly cleaned up the debris on the windowsill, then used foreign nails and sorghum poles to quickly seal several windows with plastic sheets.
"I'm leaving, grandma. If there is anything missing at home, you can go to my house to find my mother!" Yue Feng said hello before leaving.
When Yue Feng returned to his home, Grandma Li was still holding on to the door, looking at the back of Yue Feng who had disappeared, and sighed sincerely: "The two young children of the Yue family are so benevolent and righteous..."
When Yue Feng returned to his home, the thermal insulation shed in the courtyard was almost completed. Yue Feng helped him again. It was not dark yet, and the greenhouse was basically completed.
In previous years, the Yue Feng family was not so luxurious. Although the plastic sheet was not too expensive, the share of industrial tickets for each family was very tight. Although it was indeed a lot warmer to build such a greenhouse, the home There is a fire bed and a fire wall, and after sealing the windows, there is no need to do this anymore.
But this year is different. There are so many eagles tied up at home. If you want to keep the eagles fat during the low temperature winter, this greenhouse is very necessary.
After the greenhouse is completed, not only the eagles on the eagle bars under the eaves will benefit, but the two untrained eagles tied in the barn will also be moved over. The eagles are also afraid of the cold, but they are also afraid of the cold. But it is slightly more cold-resistant than the eaglet.
After another ten minutes of busy work and simple finishing, a single-layer plastic greenhouse extending from the eaves about one and a half meters wide and more than two meters high was ready. After the work was completed, Meng Yulan arranged Everyone goes into the house to sit on the kang, and the Yue Feng family will take care of the food tonight.
The outside of the house is covered with snow, and the oil lamps are on inside. The men on the Kang table are all sitting cross-legged, eating hot rice, and taking a sip of rice from time to time. The little life is definitely considered comfortable. .
After a few glasses of wine, their fathers Yue Lei and Li Wentong were also in high spirits. Now that the team had their first gun, it was only a matter of time before they brought down the big animals from the mountains. Impassioned, everyone is imagining the scene of waiting for the snow to freeze hard and going up the mountain to fight a big siege.
...
For the next two days, Yue Feng could be described as tormented. It snowed again in the evening, and another layer of snow was covered with snow that had not yet frozen hard. The north wind blew, and the temperature suddenly increased. It dropped to 17 or 18 degrees below zero.
I wear all the cotton clothes and trousers at home to keep out the cold. Every time I go out to fly eagles, I need to be fully equipped. Even so, when I come back from running outside in the snow for a day, my feet are numb from the cold and my eyebrows are frosty. .
It's cold, but the number of prey in the past few days has not been affected. Although the next two days were not as good as the first day of snow, the harvest was much more than before.
However, Yue Feng is no longer too entangled if he goes out every day to release eagles and catch more prey than Yue Feng.
He was waiting, waiting for the severe cooling to gradually stabilize, waiting for the snow on the mountain to freeze and harden into a snow shell that could be used to stand on.
Finally, on the evening of the third day, Li Wentong came back from flying eagles and spoke.
"The snow on the mountain is almost frozen! I plan to go into the mountain tomorrow! How to arrange the personnel of our team??"
Going into the mountain and going up the mountain are one word different, but the meanings are different There is a clear difference.
The hills outside the village at the doorstep are too close to the gathering area, so there are basically not many large-scale mountain livestock activities. At most, you can occasionally encounter stray wild roe deer, such as wild boars and Deer and the like are not easy to encounter.
Even if there are occasionally small groups of people moving around, they are also the smarter type. If they hear people's movements or smells from a distance, they will avoid people, unless they are experienced hunters or people looking for trouble. The hunting dogs have a chance to catch them.
But it is another matter to go around the dozen or so mountains in front of my home and go deeper into Changbai Mountain.
Because it is usually inaccessible, the density of wild animals here is much higher than at home. You may just cross a mountain ridge and have a close encounter with a wild boar, and the danger will skyrocket.
"Dad, are you planning to go into the mountains tomorrow? Take a few of us with you, just to gain some experience!" Xiao Tao looked up at his father and couldn't help but say.
Li Wentong did not refuse, but looked at Yue Feng: "It's not impossible for everyone to go into the mountain, but who will catch the game delivered to the canteen tomorrow?
If you go into the mountains with a gun to hunt around, you won't have time to let go of the eagle. The eagle has not been used to the sound of gunfire. If it is frightened by the gunshot, it will be more than worth the gain! "
Yue Feng said: "Tomorrow, Uncle Li and I will go to the mountains to try out the depth.
Xiao Tao, Xiaowen Xiaowu, you three continue to go up the mountain to fly eagles as usual, trying to catch more prey. The day after tomorrow, we will follow Uncle Li up the mountain together!
When the weather gets cold, the work of the eagle will be affected. When the temperature reaches minus ten degrees, the eagle will fly every other day. When the hawk is not released, we will follow Uncle Li into the mountains! ”
Yue Feng’s arrangement is also more reasonable. After all, we still have to worry about the basic situation. Going into the mountains to fight for siege must be done step by step.
I bought a gun today and started dragging wild boars and blind bears into my house tomorrow. That was impossible. Even if Yue Feng had a lifetime of hunting experience, he would not dare to guarantee it. He patted his chest before going out. Going up the mountain today will definitely pay off.
Mountain livestock are not evenly distributed in the mountains. There may be few decent large livestock in a few mountaintops with poor objective conditions, but in places with good conditions suitable for wild animals to survive, wild boars and roe deer can grow in groups. This requires the hunter to explore and find it bit by bit.
Xiaowen looked at Xiaowu, and the two brothers nodded and said: "Both of us can do anything! You can earn a lot of money by flying eagles. If you need people to go into the mountains, then just follow them into the mountains. I don't have much hunting skills. But it’s still possible to lend a hand and do some physical work.”
When Xiao Tao heard that Yue Feng had made the arrangements, he said a little frustrated: “Okay, I’m also thinking of going to the mountains to study with you tomorrow! "Here!"
As soon as the word "study" came out of his mouth, Li Wentong's brain suddenly fell on Xiao Tao's head: "Study, study, you are the most unstable among the five of us!" Just do what your brother Feng said! Go and watch the eagle tomorrow!”
"Oh!" Xiao Tao didn't dare to argue with his father, so he rubbed his head and agreed to the arrangement.
After briefly discussing the plan for tomorrow’s trip to the mountain, after eating and drinking, everyone went home early to rest.
As for Yue Feng, the hunting gene in his mind was completely activated. Lying on the kang and closing his eyes, he saw the scene of Wuthering Mountains and Forests. Just like a fisherman rushing to have an early morning meal the next day, he couldn't sleep the first night. .
