Chapter 172 True Appeal
"Old Wang, come in quickly. Is Xiaoyue next to you? Your brother Guo mentioned you just now. You are young and promising!" Zhang Hongbin stood up after a while and smiled. Say hello to Yue Feng.
Wang Jianguo was afraid that Yue Feng would lose his etiquette, so he pulled Yue Feng and reminded him: "Why don't you just call someone, why are you standing still!"
Yue Feng obediently shouted: "Uncle Zhang! Brother Guo!”
“Hahaha! That’s a good shout!”
Yue Feng said that Uncle Zhang gave Zhang Hongbin a lot of joy. Although he, Guo Jianfeng and Wang Jianguo had different statuses, after getting to know each other in private, they were all considered comrades-in-arms and equals.
Now Yue Feng calls Zhang Hongbin uncle and Guo Jianfeng brother, which immediately makes Guo Jianfeng lose his life.
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. There are no heroes in the world, let's talk about our own things!"
Xiao Guo is not a narrow-minded person. After getting in touch with each other during the day, Yue Feng's way of talking to others has changed. He was very decent in everything he did, and Xiao Guo had a good impression of him.
"My eldest nephew is back for the first time, and he has brought something with him?" Zhang Hongbin stood up and strolled to the woven bag at the door.
"There's nothing good, just game from the mountains. I brought half a roe deer and half a two-year-old sow!" Yue Feng said calmly.
"The meat of this little sow is delicious. You guys sit here for a while and drink some tea. I will go to the kitchen to take a look and ask Lao Li to add two more hard vegetables for us!" Zhang Hongbin held a bag in one hand. He carried the roe deer and wild boar brought by Yue Feng out of the house.
Lao Zhang came out of the room. The three people in the room relaxed a lot. Yue Feng took out a stool from behind the door and sat at the table with Wang Jianguo.
"Brother Xiaoyue, the family of the man who was bitten to death by a bear has been found! He is from Honghetou Village at the foot of the mountain! Before I came over, the remains had been taken away by his family!" Guo Jianfeng saw that the atmosphere was somewhat stiff. , and took the initiative to bring up the topic.
“You must have been missing for many days on the mountain, right?”
"Yes, the case was reported more than ten days ago. The village department organized villagers to search the mountain twice, but no useful traces were found! Now that the person has been found, he finally has a home!"
< br>"By the way, where is that bear? Did our forest farm drag it back in the end?" Yue Feng asked knowingly.
Guo Jianfeng smiled and shook his head: "That bear, there are other arrangements in the field!"
Yue Feng nodded and did not continue the topic.
The meaning of the other arrangements is very simple, that is, they did not follow the normal procedures and were dragged into the hands of certain people. This is basically the same as what Yue Feng had predicted before.
While they were talking here, Zhang Hongbin and a round-faced, slightly fat kitchen chef wearing an apron entered the room carrying plates on both feet.
“Borrow the light, the food is here!!” Zhang Hongbin placed a pot of hare stewed with radish on the table.
The master chef behind him was holding a dinner plate in his hand, which contained a plate of steaming pot-roasted pork and a plate of cold-cut pork head.
"Other dishes have to be cooked in the kitchen for a while. We don't have any outsiders. Let's drink first! Xiao Guo is treating us to this dinner tonight. Drink as much as you can. No one is allowed to be polite. Otherwise, I won’t drink with him next time! How’s your drinking capacity, Xiaoyue? Can you drink a pound?” Zhang Hongbin said very cheerfully.
“It should be about the same if you try harder!!”
When it comes to drinking, Yue Feng has no stage fright at all. When it comes to this business, he is familiar with it!
“I can hunt bears in the mountains and drink at the table. I look like I am a good comrade. What a great man is he if he doesn’t drink!
Come on, come on, tonight, let’s start with each I’ll have one bottle for myself, if it’s not enough, I’ll open it again. I still have wine in the warehouse at the back, so I’ll have enough for today!”
Zhang Hongbin took out a cardboard box directly from the cupboard and took out four unopened bottles from it! Spring wine.
At that time, the grade of Yingchun wine was not low. At that time, the mainstream people still drank Sanbai for 30 cents a pound. Being able to drink Baishan Daqu was considered a good condition.
When the hot dishes were served, several people immediately poured wine and started the banquet without hesitation.
At first, Yue Feng was a little cautious when sitting with these three veterans, but within less than a glass of wine, Yue Feng slowly adapted to the rhythm of the wine table.
Although this Zhang Hongbin has the highest status among the people here, he has a bold personality and has no airs of being a leader. He eats food and drinks and talks about things happening at his doorstep.
For example, Yue Feng and the others found the missing mountain man in the bear den. Zhang Hongbin had also heard about the previous search for him on the mountain. He also helped contact and used the township security department's phone number to inform the surrounding village departments. While assisting in the search, I felt a bit sad when I mentioned this matter.
After two glasses of wine, the three veterans began to talk about their time as soldiers.
Yue Feng, the junior, spent most of the time listening quietly, lighting cigarettes, pouring wine, pouring tea, and serving dishes. During the entire meal, Yue Feng took care of all these serving matters in place.
After three glasses of wine, Zhang Hongbin brought the topic to Yue Feng. "Xiao Feng, I heard from Xiao Guo that you still have a big black hawk at home? You showed it to Zhou Jianchun at the forest farm a few days ago? Did you scare that grandson on the spot?"
Yue Feng shouted with a smile and nodded: "It's a little gadget, not worth mentioning!
I accidentally encountered this eagle while hunting in the mountains. It can listen to gunshots. We hunters When you kill a pig or a bear, you have to take out the entrails and hang them on a tree to offer sacrifices to the mountain god. When this big black eagle hears the sound of gunshots, it goes to eat the entrails of these animals!
Later, when I discovered it, I wanted to catch him by an eagle!
I came here today, and I brought half a dozen roe deer from home, the same day I caught the eagle, I used 56 and a half dozen! "
"They all say that the eagle has to be subdued, and it must be subdued before it can listen to you. Is this true? Although I don’t have time to raise an eagle, I quite like this thing.
My old leader in the army gave him a big eagle that could catch rabbits. We even went to the wild to let it go, but the eagle became disobedient after a while.
Later, I once went out to herd and encountered a pheasant. I let the eagle chase after it. After chasing it for a long time, the eagle flew away. I searched for a long time and couldn't find it! ”
Hearing Zhang Hongbin's words, Yue Feng knew what was going on. He nodded and said, "A big eagle must work hard to be obedient! I also have the big eagle that catches rabbits you mentioned at home!"
"Yes, what you said is too conservative. In my eldest nephew's house, there are kites for catching flying dragons and big eagles for catching rabbits and pheasants!
Ordinary families in our village have enough money to spend the winter. The windows are sealed with plastic paper, but his house is different. There is a greenhouse in front of the house specifically for the eagle!” He took over the conversation.
"Oh? So, your family has more than one eagle?" Zhang Hongbin immediately became interested after hearing Wang Jianguo's words.
Yue Feng nodded: "Yes, I still have three kites at home, two big eagles, one chicken eagle, plus a big black eagle that I haven't trained yet!"
"There are so many, you can even me out. Can you give me the money according to the market price?
My old boss has already retired. He doesn’t like smoking or drinking, but he just likes this stuff! Send some food and drink to people, they are not in need. I asked many people, but I couldn’t find anyone reliable. I didn’t expect that there is an expert at my doorstep!”
Zhang Hongbin heard about Yue Feng’s family! There were so many eagles that I was tempted on the spot.
Speaking of which, if you want to win the favor of a big shot, you must have something to offer, whether you are careful, sensible, or have other connections or abilities.
There is no such thing as love without reason. Even if people don’t value material things, it still depends on your temperament and temperament. You must have some shining points to be liked by others.
The reason why Zhang Hongbin specifically asked Wang Jianguo to call Yue Feng for a drink was that besides admiring this young hunter with outstanding abilities, the main consideration was that he wanted to help his old leader get a real falcon. , the more exquisite the better, the rarer the better.
“This is not a rare thing. If Uncle Zhang wants to get it, I can help you train it once and it’s over! I happen to have some eagles caught in the autumn that I haven’t trained yet. It will take up to ten and a half days. "You can train me well in just a month!" Yue Feng said without hesitation.
“Don’t you have an eagle flying at home? Pick one for Minister Zhang, and you can train it later?”
Wang Jianguo was somewhat anxious when he saw Yue Feng's reservations. This was a key opportunity to build relationships and earn favors, so his eldest nephew's reaction was a bit slow.
Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "The hawk at home has been left alone for half the winter by several members of the hunting team. When there are no group activities, we carry the hawk up the mountain to work almost every day.
In nature, an eagle rests when it is full, but it is different in human hands. The work it does in one day is more than what it would take to survive in the wild for ten and a half months.
The intensity of the work is high, which is very important for it. Feathers will naturally wear out a lot!
So the eagles at home have more or less normal wear and creases on their wings and tails.
Since this falcon is a gift to an old leader, you can't give it to an eagle with broken feathers, broken tail feathers, and a different quality! Uncle Zhang, what do you think? ”
“That’s right! It’s best if it’s in good condition and rare! ! I heard from Xiao Guo that your Big Black Hawk is pretty good. How about you give it up to me? "
Yue Feng smiled and shook his head and refused: "This eagle is too big and has a fierce temperament. It is not safe for leaders to raise it!"
I have been raising the eagles until now, and I have to wear gloves when feeding the eagles every day!
If the leader has children or elderly people at home, and they are accidentally caught or pecked by an eagle, a good thing will turn into a bad thing!
Moreover, your old leader only likes eagles and has not systematically learned how to tame or train them! Even if I am willing to give it up, if you take the eagle away, within a few days, the eagle will die in the hands of your leader and walk away. The gain outweighs the loss! ! "
It's too easy for an insider to deceive an outsider. Yue Feng just put a little thought into it and extinguished Zhang Hongbin's unrealistic fantasy about his big black eagle.
