Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 419 Construction
After leaving the gate of the township security department, Yue Feng and his brothers completely let themselves go.
This is a remote and poor place, and even a bicycle is a rare thing in the village.
Now he rides a motorcycle tricycle with a military license plate. How cool is that?
Yue Feng was relatively calm on the short road out of the Security Department. After turning a corner and arriving on the production road, Xiaowen next to him stepped on the accelerator first to increase the speed.
“Brother, try running faster! This tricycle is stable and you won’t fall!”
Xiaowen uttered a few words and stepped on the accelerator. The sound of the engine changed slightly and the speed increased significantly. In the blink of an eye, the car had opened up a gap of two body lengths.
Yue Feng’s motorcycle fell behind, and Xiao Tao, who was sitting next to him, couldn’t help but say, “Brother, run faster! How can we fall behind? Try running faster!”
This was the first time that Yue Feng owned this limited edition rare vehicle, and he was extremely proud of it. He subconsciously sped up, “Go faster.”
The scenery around it quickly receded, and in the blink of an eye it jumped to more than sixty.
The speed was fast and it was really enjoyable, but Yue Feng soon frowned.
I was only wearing a pair of thin gloves on my hands. The cold wind was like a knife, taking away the heat from my fingers and face that the hat couldn’t block. Soon half of my face was numb from the cold.
“Don’t jump so fast, be steady, or your fingers will be frozen off when you get home!!”
Yue Feng shouted to Xiaowen in front of him and slowed down himself.
After Yue Feng’s reminder, Xiaowen also realized the problem of keeping warm while riding a motorcycle with thin gloves, and slowly slowed down.
In less than twenty minutes, two military trucks entered the village one after the other.
The motorcycle had just come down the mountain road and entered the production road at the entrance of the village. When Li Yinhua saw that the people riding the motorcycle and the tricycle were Yue Feng and his brothers, she immediately shouted loudly.
“Come and see! The second son of the Yue family and the eldest son of the Zhang family are back on a motorcycle tricycle! It looks like they have military license plates!!”
After Li Yinhua’s shout, the villagers who were playing cards happily stood up from their seats one after another.
“Fuck, it’s really the second kid from the Yue family! He usually rides a bicycle in and out, which is eye-catching enough. Why did he change to a military backpack this time?”
“Maybe he borrowed it from outside to ride it for fun? Yue Lei’s house has been quite busy recently, with cars coming to his house every now and then!”
“Humph, being fat doesn’t count. Don’t show off. A few days ago, Yue Feng was taken away by the uncle in the hat, holding his head down. If you show off too much, you might end up in jail!”
Where there are people, there is the world. Even if they are villagers from the same village, even if Yue Feng has not offended anyone present, there are still people who say good things about him and people who say sarcastic things about him.
Yue Feng had experienced all this before. He who wears the crown must bear its weight, so he was mentally prepared. Conjunctivitis or something, whatever.
Soon, the motorcycle arrived at the entrance of Li Yinhua’s convenience store and was stopped by the proprietress.
“Xiao Feng! Where did you get this motorcycle? Look at the color, it’s a new military vehicle?” Li Yinhua asked with a smile and envy.
Yue Feng grinned: “Hey, Auntie, I don’t have the ability to do this. This is the motorcycle of the township security department. I borrowed it to ride for two days!”
“Borrowed? It looks like a new car!”
“Yes, I borrowed it!! You guys are having fun. You didn’t bring thick gloves and your hands are numb from the cold. Let’s go home first!” Yue Feng responded with a few words, immediately shifted gears again, and drove straight to his home.
After the two tricycles rode away, a woman standing by the door looking at Jing’er said, “I said it couldn’t be his motorcycle. This military motorcycle tricycle is a rare item. Ordinary people can’t buy it no matter how much money they have!”
“No, you guys stay here and have fun. I’ll go to his house and take a look. This military backpack is very rare. No one in our whole village has ever seen one riding one!”
“I’ll go take a look too!”
“Let’s go!! Let’s not play cards for now!!”
……
The card game was going well, but it was immediately disbanded because Yue Feng and his brothers rode back on two motorcycle tricycles. A few curious villagers walked towards Yue Feng’s house.
On the other side, brothers Yue Feng and Xiao Wen had already arrived at their doorstep on motorcycles.
Hearing the noise, everyone in the room came out.
When Yue Lei and Uncle Zhao saw the brand new military motorcycle tricycle, their eyes lit up.
“Hey! This thing is awesome! Are these two tricycles ours?”
Uncle Zhao lowered his head and looked around the motorcycle a few times, then asked excitedly.
Yue Feng grinned: “Yes, except that we can’t sell it, we can do whatever we want with it! It has the documents of the Ministry of Security, and a military license plate!!
Dad, uncle, can you come up and take me for a spin?”
If it was something else, the old man and Yue Lei would definitely not join in the fun, but this was a motorcycle, and what old man wouldn’t be interested in these things? When they heard Yue Feng’s call, they immediately nodded and agreed. Soon, Xiao Tao and Xiao Wu got off the car, and then helped the old man and Yue Lei get on the sidecar. Yue Feng did a classic reverse turn, and then rushed out to the street behind the house.
After running back and forth on the street for a few times, Yue Feng’s hands were completely frozen and numb, but the excitement in his heart was still difficult to calm down.
The motorcycle tricycle drove directly into the yard, and more than ten or twenty neighbors had gathered to watch the fun.
Living in the village, you can never avoid the crowds of onlookers.
Everyone asked about the military backpack, but Yue Feng kept his mouth shut and just said that he borrowed it from the village and rode it for fun for a few days.
As for other people’s “excessive” requests such as wanting to try riding it, they were all politely declined.
After more than an hour, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, and the members of Yue Feng’s hunting team and their family members also slowly calmed down.
The bike was back, but there are still some problems with its allocation and placement.
The weather in Northeast China is different from other places. The current lowest temperature is as low as minus 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. You can’t just throw your motorcycle in the open air.
Otherwise, if you are exposed to low temperatures for a long time and are completely frozen, it will be difficult to start a fire.
Based on this consideration, these two military sidecars must be placed indoors or in a carport until the temperature warms up. For the sake of stability, it is best to cover them with something warm.
Yue Feng’s home currently consists of three rooms in the north and a warehouse for storing sundries, and there is currently no place to put the motorcycle.
After a brief discussion, the brothers decided to temporarily park the car at the home of their neighbor Xiao Tao.
In addition to the west room warehouse, Xiao Tao’s house has two south rooms near the south wall, which can be used as storage facilities after a simple cleaning.
This way, Yue Feng can go into the city conveniently. Even if it is occasionally frozen and difficult to start, you can boil some hot water to heat up the carburetor, intake pipe and other parts, which can quickly solve minor ignition problems.
After all, military equipment has always been known for being tough and durable, and this must have been taken into consideration during the design process, so it only needs to meet relatively low requirements.
After deciding on the location to place the vehicle, the brothers worked together to clean up the warehouse in the south wing of Xiao Tao’s house.
Yue Feng even used several bear skin mats in his home as covers for the motorcycles. After a busy day, the two motorcycles were ready before dark.
Getting two tricycles was a big deal, and that night, the three families got together again to celebrate this hard-earned gain and imagine better days in the future.
In the next few days, Yue Feng rode his motorcycle around almost every day.
The tiger skin was exchanged for a motorcycle, and no cash was seen. However, after Yue Feng discussed with the hunting team, he estimated the value of the tiger skin at 15000 yuan based on previous market conditions and the value of the motorcycle.
According to the normal shareholding and dividend distribution system, Yue Feng took out 1,500 yuan from the hunting team fund and personally delivered it to Uncle Chen’s home as dividends.
The old man refused again and again, but finally couldn’t resist Yue Feng’s insistence and finally accepted it.
Time flies, and before we knew it, the first month of the year is over.
Dad Yue Lei, neighbor Uncle Li, and Uncle Zhao, the three “injured” were treated to good food and drink during the Spring Festival, and they all recovered.
Under Yue Feng’s coordination, brothers Yue Lei and Li Wentong officially started working at the Red Star Forest Farm and became members of the forest protection team.
With the help of Guo Jianfeng, the captain of the forest protection team, it was very easy for the two of my father’s generation to officially go to work at the forest farm. After learning about their identities, the ordinary team members also showed more care for them.
After all, Yue Feng was the one who sent cigarettes, alcohol, and meat, and he always did small favors like that on a daily basis.
During this period, in addition to releasing hawks for small-scale hunting and occasionally taking the hunting team up the mountain for large-scale hunting, when Yue Feng had nothing to do, he would ride a motorcycle with Uncle Zhao, and the two of them would often stroll around along the Chaiji Road in the back mountain.
According to past years’ experience, the temperature at the foot of Changbai Mountain will start to warm up and thaw around mid-April. Once the thaw occurs, work on building a breeding farm on the mountain can begin.
Running a breeding farm is not a child’s play, and the site selection needs to be extremely cautious. During this period, Yue Feng’s main focus has been placed here.
After a period of continuous investigation and field trips, Yue Feng finally chose a location near Forest Area No. 20 for the farm.
Forest Area No. 20 is an old and fully-logged area that was developed the earliest. The older trees were logged more than ten years ago, and now a large area is secondary forest that has grown there.
There is a Chaiji Road next to this place, which can serve as a convenient passage for going up and down the mountain. Even if the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, it will not affect the transportation of daily necessities.
In addition to transportation considerations, next to the breeding farm selected by Yue Feng in Forest Area No. 20, there is a mountain spring that never dries up all year round. The water quality is excellent and can be used as a water source for the breeding farm.
Moreover, the site here is relatively flat, so we only need to clear the surrounding debris and then start basic construction in the mountain area.
After choosing the location for the breeding farm, Yue Feng communicated with Ye Jianjun accordingly and began to apply for the procedures for contracting and reserving the forest and building a special breeding farm. The first step of the long march was taken.
It takes time to get the farm site and the approval of the procedures. On the other hand, after the first month of the lunar year, the construction of a new house for Yue Feng’s family is also on the agenda. (End of this chapter)
