Chapter 344 The Truth
“I heard from your uncle Zou that the last time you went to his house, the wine you brought was the state banquet Maotai! People of our level can’t even touch this kind of wine!”

Maybe Du Chonglai was a military man and didn’t like relationships that were too roundabout, so he directly asked about the doubts in his heart.

“Are you interested in this? I have a buddy whose elder works for the Military Control Commission. This wine was brought by his childhood friend when he came to visit my parents!

I can’t say too much about his childhood friend, I can only tell you that his last name is Ye!”

Yue Feng hardly ever said anything nonsense, but the same words sounded completely different to Du Chonglai.

The leaders of the Military Control Commission are all big shots. Director Du himself is from the military system and knows much more about some of the things inside than ordinary people.

The circle of candidates who have the surname Ye and can casually give away the state banquet Maotai to others, and these conditions are rapidly narrowed.

“Could it be the Ye family from Yanjing?” Du Chonglai asked with a little rapid breathing.

“Hehehehe!” Yue Feng grinned and laughed, neither denying nor confirming.

Seeing Yue Feng’s reaction, Du Chonglai thought that his guess was almost right, so he said, “You little guy, you are quite tight-lipped! If you don’t want to say it, I won’t force you!
We have similar personalities, and knowing each other is fate. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to the Forestry Bureau to find me directly!”

“Hehe! Thank you, sir! If you say so, then I’m really shameless. I’ve just been thinking about something recently. Can you help me check it out?”

“What’s the matter? Tell me!”

“I’d like to ask, if I want to set up a private sable farm or deer farm and raise some sables or sika deer or red deer, what procedures do I need to prepare?”

“Raising sables in a private farm?” Du Chonglai was slightly stunned when he heard these key words.

Sables are sought after worldwide due to their excellent fur properties, and exploration of artificial breeding has been conducted many years ago.

However, these explorations into artificial breeding of sables were mainly carried out by public institutions, and private breeding was still a very rare term at the time.

In an age when even the number of fattened pigs a family can raise is restricted, it sounds a bit like a fantasy for individuals to engage in the breeding of rare fur animals.

“At present, the country has not issued relevant guidance documents in this regard! Mink fur is a valuable fur species. If it can be successfully cultivated artificially, it would be a good choice!

I will ask you in detail when I get back to work. You can do anything unless prohibited by law!
In the spring of next year, the village will implement the household contract responsibility system and distribute land, and by then the policies on sideline jobs will probably be relaxed!”

“That’s great! I have more than ten female minks with cubs at home. If the country doesn’t impose restrictions, I’d like to try to see if this works!
If it succeeds in the future, it will also be a support for our fur exports and foreign exchange earnings, right? “

“More than ten female minks with cubs? Where did you get them? These things are not carrots in the field. If you want to eat them, you can just go to the field and pick as many as you want!”

As the leader of the Forestry Bureau, Du Chonglai still knows some common sense about the current situation of sables.

It is true that this thing is widely distributed in Changbai Mountain, but its natural density is very low. The purchase task issued by the higher authorities for one region each year does not provide much quantity.

But when it came to Yue Feng, the picture suddenly changed. More than ten female minks, some with cubs, sounded quite incongruous in the hands of Yue Feng, a young hunter.

In other words, after the two of them had spent the entire day together, Director Du felt that Yue Feng was a relatively reliable young man, otherwise his first reaction to hearing these words would have been bragging.

“Hehe! I brought my brothers from the hunting team and searched the mountains little by little using eagles to catch them! We killed the ordinary male minks for their skins, and kept the adult female minks as pets!
It’s not entirely certain that they are all carrying pups now, but most of them should be carrying pups! This little thing is fertilized in advance this season, and will not give birth until the beginning of next spring! “

When it comes to sables caught by hawks, Director Du is no longer so resistant.

He knew relatively little about falconry, so there was still a certain mystery about it.

In addition, I saw with my own eyes this morning how a big black eagle pecked out a wild boar’s eyes and captured a two-year-old wild boar weighing more than 100 pounds alive. So it seems reasonable to use an eagle to catch a sable.

“It seems that there is such a saying. Are the sables you mentioned kept at home? How about you take me to see them when you get home?”

“Sure! I’ll keep it in my barn!
I don’t just have these sables at home, there’s also a blind doe in the pen, which was also caught by Big Black Hawk last time!

There are also eight hunting dogs, big and small! And a white gyrfalcon that is recovering from an injury!! “

Yue Feng told Director Du about the rare things he had at home, counting them on his fingers as if they were his own treasures.

“Wow, that’s great! As expected of a hunter, you have a solid background!” After listening to this, Du Chonglai became more and more interested in Yue Feng’s family.

“It’s not that he has any foundation. He’s just tired of living in poverty! You also said that you can do anything unless it is prohibited by law!” Yue Feng said, scratching his head.

“It’s still somewhat related now, so we should keep a low profile. Once new instructions come down from above, it should only be a matter of time before these restrictions are lifted!
It is a good thing to prepare in advance. I think both the mink farm and the deer farm have great development potential!”

“Then when you get back, please help me research it! Your nephew is a law-abiding citizen, so we should make preparations for the necessary procedures!”

“Okay! I’m curious, where did you learn this skill of falconry? Is it a family tradition?” “Yes! My grandfather’s generation was a well-known falconer, and later passed the skill of falconry to my father.

My father liked to go up the mountain to set traps, but he didn’t make much progress in falcon training. Instead, I learned some of the essentials from my grandfather.

With a little experience and luck, I have come this far!

We don’t hunt big games like today, but we usually do it every day. Our hunting team usually goes up the mountain with eagles to hunt small games, mainly catching pheasants, rabbits, flying dragons, sand chickens and other prey!”

“Huh? Why is that? Logically speaking, hunting wild boars, bears, and other large animals would definitely bring more benefits than catching pheasants and rabbits.”

Hearing this touched upon Director Du’s blind spot in knowledge, and he subconsciously asked about the doubts in his heart.

Yue Feng pursed his lips and smiled: “That’s true, but there are a limited number of large animals in the nearby back mountain, and we can’t just hunt them in the open!

The more we hunt, the fewer large animals there will be, so they will have to move further into the mountains. Normally we can only go into the mountains on foot, so our radius of activity is severely limited.

To solve this problem, you either have to spend the night in the mountains or take some transportation such as a large truck!
We have stayed overnight in the mountains several times, all in the cellars of our hunter friends on the mountain, but we can’t go there every day!

As for this big truck, it is a public institution thing, and now even if you have money, you can’t buy it! It’s good enough to be able to borrow it by scanning your face!
In a word, the foundation is too weak, and the ability to bear risks is too poor. It is better to release hawks and hunt in the mountains behind the village, where the income is more stable! “

After listening to Yue Feng’s explanation, Du Chonglai nodded slightly. The living standards and material conditions of the grassroots people are indeed still at the primary stage. This is a very objective thing. His question just now was a bit taken for granted.

“I thought things here were too simple! It seems that going into the mountains to hunt wild boars, bears, etc. is not something you can do every day!!” Director Du said with feeling.

“I’m not trying to take credit for it, but I’ve been preparing for today’s trip for many days!

Find hunter friends, forestry workers, and various influential channels to post rewards, collect pigs, and locate the bear warehouse.

After getting the location, go into the mountains in advance to check out the general situation.

If everything goes well, we can catch a large group of pigs this morning and kill a group of bears this afternoon!”

From his interactions and conversations with Du Chonglai, Yue Feng discovered that he was a straightforward person, so he simply didn’t beat around the bush when speaking. He took this opportunity to talk about the behind-the-scenes work of this hunt.

After listening to this, Du Chonglai nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

Because of his military achievements, he was assigned to work in the Forestry Bureau after he retired from the army. He is now the deputy director of the Forestry Bureau and is considered a top figure in Fengcheng.

But his ancestors were also ordinary people, so they could naturally understand what Yue Feng meant.

Going up the mountain to hunt is indeed exciting, but it requires a lot of effort behind the scenes. In addition, when hunting bears, emergencies may occur. Even if the hunter is fully armed and equipped, there are still potential dangers behind.

All the front and backstage, benefits and risks, added together, constitute the complete hunting process, and are also the entire life of an ordinary mountain hunter.

As for the leaders’ initiative to go into the mountains to hunt, they were only enjoying a small part of the fun.

From this perspective, the hunting they experienced was incomplete.

……

The father and son started talking in the car, and slowly the topic got deeper and deeper. Yue Feng didn’t play tricks on him and just talked about whatever he wanted to say. They talked realistically, and the more they talked, the more they got along. Yue Feng heard more clearly about what was happening on and off the stage.

More than half an hour later, the car went down the mountain and returned to Xing’an Village along the same route.

Late in the afternoon, three cars and a large truck drove into the village in a mighty procession.

After entering the village, he did not stop and drove straight towards Yue Feng’s home.

Four cars stopped directly in front of Yue Feng’s house.

On the back street, the villagers heard the car entering the village and didn’t know what was happening, so they followed the truck and came to Yue Feng’s house.

When seeing Yue Feng getting out of the car, an old man in the back street asked, “Xiao Feng, where are you guys doing? A car and a big Liberation, why is there such a big fuss?”

Yue Feng grinned: “Hey, don’t worry, Uncle Chen, it’s okay! Xiaowu and I went hunting in the mountains with some friends from the city!!”

Hearing this, the crowd suddenly became lively.

Wow, he drove three cars and a big truck into the mountains to hunt! ! The second kid from the Yue family is getting more and more powerful! !
