Chapter 237 Business Opportunities for Sika Deer
After hearing the greeting, Xiaowen ran over quickly: "What's wrong, brother? Hey, there's a blind doe here! Isn't it going to run away with a rope tied around its neck?" Why is this deer so honest?”
Yue Feng handed the rope to Xiaowen’s hand: “This deer seems to have a better temperament than the others. I tried it and it can be led after it gets used to it. , so I didn’t bleed it and kill it!
But the big black eagle was a little unhappy when I held it. It kicked it just now and scared the deer so much. You hold it, I’ll go first! The other deer is fed to the eagle!"
"Leave it to me!"
Seeing that the rope was handed over to Xiaowen, the squawking of the big black eagle stopped obviously.
Yue Feng whistled at the big black eagle, and then stretched out his arms.
Hearing the whistle, the big black eagle immediately swooped down from the air, folded its wings and landed on Yue Feng's arm, screaming like a general showing off his power after winning a battle.
"Okay, okay! I know this is your credit! Let's go and eat meat to reward you! That deer is our trophy, not a partner!!"
Yue Feng is like coaxing Like a child, he muttered to the big black eagle, not sure whether the big black eagle could understand it. Anyway, Yue Feng calmed him down and the big black eagle's response was obviously much more stable.
By the time Yue Feng came to the place where he shot the big buck with his hawk, Uncle Zhao had already taken out the entire set of deer's internal organs.
The hot internal organs of the buck exuded a strong smell of blood. After seeing it, the big black eagle flapped its wings and quacked excitedly.
"Okay, I'll give it to you first! You're the first one today!!!" Yue Feng responded, then squatted next to the deer's internal organs.
“Quack, quack, quack!” The big black eagle quacked and flicked its wings excitedly.
"How many are left in total?" Uncle Zhao asked.
Yue Feng replied very excitedly: "Five, one big male deer, three female deer, and one small deer! Let's shoot and leave two, one male and one female. The other three, two big and one small, should be attributed to the big black eagle. .
The more this guy goes out to hunt, the smarter he becomes. Not only does he know how to drive the prey to where we are, he also knows how to maximize the results. When Xiao Tao and I came over, we found Hei Lang and Xiao Hua. , knocked down a deer, Dahuang and Dahei also knocked down a deer!
In addition, there was another deer whose eyes were pecked out by the big black eagle and was lying there without moving! ”
< br>"What an eagle! With this eagle, even if you don't have a gun in your hand, it's hard to go into the mountains empty-handed every time!" Uncle Zhao sighed sincerely without being polite at all.
“I’m not surprised that he can entangle prey, but this guy actually knows how to use the driving stick to cooperate with the owner and the dog. This is an unexpected surprise!”
"There are not many dogs who can drive a stick, let alone an eagle! You, the eagle, will continue to grow in the future. After one or two years of actual combat, you will be more powerful as you gain more experience!"
< br>"Hey! I'll lend you your blessing! When the training of the Falcon in your hand begins, I'll tell you the whole process of training the Falcon. As long as the big black eagle doesn't fight with it, let's let it go when we go out. If you follow the Falcon and learn a few games, you should be able to bring it out!"
While speaking, Yue Feng was not idle at all, and took out the whole stag's heart with his leg insert! , and then signaled Uncle Zhao to take out the hip flask, squeeze out the deer's heart blood, then cut the heart into medium-thick meat slices, and fed them piece by piece to the big black eagle squatting on his arm.
It seems that the stronger and handsome the mountain animal is, the more excited the big black eagle is when eating its internal organs.
Yue Feng fed the deer piece by piece, and the big black eagle refused to accept anyone who came, as if the crop was a bottomless pit, until almost the whole deer heart was eaten, and the crop bulged high.
The well-fed and well-fed Big Black Eagle looks more like a general, with a bulging chest and a bulging belly, giving him the impression of a general with a broad waist and a round belly.
Yue Feng casually placed it on the branch of a small tree. It squatted there obediently and watched the other people in the team busy with the work at hand. It stopped barking and did not Flying around, the main purpose is to be quiet.
Soon, several other people were almost busy with their work at hand, and all the prey were gathered together.
"Brother! We've made a fortune this time! We killed five deer in one trip! This big buck weighs three hundred pounds! These doe deer weigh close to one hundred and fifty pounds!" Xiao Tao said excitedly.
Yue Feng turned his head and glanced at the blind doe that Xiao Wen had brought over. It seemed to smell the smell of blood and stood restlessly, constantly moving in a small area.
"If we can bring this blind doe back, we will bring it back! The price is much higher if we sell it alive than if it is killed!" Yue Feng had already tasted the sweetness last time, so he knew the taste after eating the marrow.
"This...this doe should be pregnant with a calf according to the days!" At this time, Uncle Zhao next to him said with great certainty. "You're pregnant? Where can I see it?"
Hearing this, Yue Feng was a little confused. He was okay with hunting, but he only had a partial understanding of the habits of these mountain animals. For example, Yue Feng didn't understand how many months after the sika deer returned to the herd (went into heat) and how many months after conception they could give birth.
“I took a special look at the doe I eviscerated just now. There was already a calf in its belly. I estimate that the fetus in September would only be as big as a small mouse!
This blind deer has a very docile personality. If it can eat and drink water, I suggest you go home and find a place to raise it! Whether it is killing the deer to take out the fetuses when the month comes, or raising deer calves at home in the future, it is more appropriate than bringing them back now and selling them immediately! ”
Hearing Uncle Zhao’s words, Yue Feng’s little mind started to work.
In mountainous rural areas, ordinary farmers, in addition to following the production team to farm and distribute some grain, There are not many ways to earn money.
Going to the mountains to pick some mushrooms and mountain products involves a lot of risks, but the purchase prices are kept very low by the supply and marketing cooperatives at all levels, and they cannot be sold. How much does it cost?
In later generations, the artificial breeding of sika deer has become a systematic industry. Even in artificial captivity, the various functions of this thing have not been greatly reduced. It can be used with Bora all over the body. Describe.
At this time, except for a few national-level deer farms, most mountainous areas do not have farmers breeding anything.
The vast majority of domestic deer products are still obtained from wild hunting, and large-scale institutionalized breeding of sika deer has not yet taken off.
Raising deer in a village at the foot of a mountain naturally has advantages in terms of feed. In addition to the lack of time when farming, most rural people have plenty of time to cut the grass that sika deer love to eat. With plant-based feed, once it reaches a large scale, it can greatly increase the income of villagers. This can be regarded as opening up a new set of money-making channels in addition to farming.
In his previous life, Yue Feng was so confused that he did not dare to think about these things, but it is different now. He has initially earned start-up capital. If he wants to complete industrial accumulation and upgrade in the future, he must not just rely on the income from hunting in the mountains. It's simple. If you can have your own deer farm and let your parents take care of the family deer farm, life will definitely be better.
“Well, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have killed that half-grown deer kid before!”
After Yue Feng heard what Uncle Zhao said, he suddenly thought a lot, and even began to feel annoyed about the half-grown deer kid who was still alive after being pinned down by a dog not long ago.
Uncle Zhao shook his head: "If you want to keep deer in human hands, half-grown wild deer cubs like this won't do. They are aggressive and naturally hostile to people. Even if they are raised in a pen, , are frightened every day, don’t eat well, and will run away when given the opportunity.
I started raising them with my red dog cubs who never open their eyes. When they grow up, they will definitely need family members. The same truth!
The newly born deer cubs will be much less wild if they are born and raised in a human environment! Select good characters and then breed them for a few generations, and the deer herd will slowly expand. The Oroqen people have been raising deer for generations, so it’s not a strange skill!”
“Okay, let’s take care of this doe! Take it home and let my mother try to feed it!”
Uncle Zhao nodded, took out the kettle from his bag, pinched a little salt in the palm of his hand, poured a handful of water, and rubbed it against the deer's mouth.
The blind doe tasted the salty taste of the water, and she licked it obediently. In a few mouthfuls, she licked up all the water.
"Dare to drink water! Then you can live! Go back and eat corn stubble down. Once you get used to it, you will know how to eat even if you can't see it!" Uncle Zhao said very experiencedly.
On a trip to the mountain, we found four big deer and one half-sized deer calf. This harvest is definitely worth bragging about.
Everyone was very happy. They untied the sledge and tied it up. They held the bundles that should be bundled and the ones that should be held. Five people and five deer, including the people and dogs, could pull the sledge to share the pressure. Returning to Tinker is fairly easy.
What should not be mentioned is that the presence of the Big Black Hawk, which was a bug-level falcon at that time, greatly improved the hunting efficiency of the hunting team.
Everyone who had won the battle no longer thought about eating on the mountain. After arranging the prey, they returned in the direction of the cellar. In Uncle Zhao's original words, get home early and eat full early. After drinking and resting, if the female leopard comes again in the evening, there will be a tough battle to fight that requires staying up late.
A group of five people dragged the prey, the dog and the little doe, and returned home with a full load.
After more than two hours of traveling, Yue Feng and the other four returned to Uncle Zhao’s cellar.
Having been busy from morning to around one in the afternoon, everyone who was already starving did not care about whether the venison was valuable or not. The smallest half-sized deer cub directly skinned, deboned and cut it into pieces. Cut into pieces, half of the deer was put directly into the steel pot where the meat was cooked.
You can't lose anything to your own belly. This time after hunting so much venison, I first picked the smallest cub to taste the saltiness before adding it to the pot!
