After getting the two main structural materials of the nest, the stick core and the peeled vine core, Yue Feng immediately got busy.

Now that we have the rattan core, the next thing to do is to pick the rattan basket part for the nest.

This thing is difficult to say, but for those who know it, it is actually very simple. Bend the peeled rattan core appropriately and make a circle, then arrange several circles in a specific way to leave enough suitable parameters, use the stick core to compare the approximate size, and repeat it three times in a circle.

After stacking three circles, the structure of the rattan basket is basically completed. Finally, the joints are closed and a rattan basket that looks quite exquisite is completed.

Seeing the rattan basket made by Yue Feng, Xiao Tao, who was watching the fun with his eagle-like face next to him, asked curiously: “Brother, what did you make? It looks like a miniature flower basket, and it’s pretty nice!”

Yue Feng’s mouth curled up slightly as he explained, “This is called a nest picker, it’s used to hang strings and release young eagles!”

“Hang the string to release the eagle? Can’t you just hold the tire line with your hand?” Xiao Tao scratched his head after hearing this explanation, a little confused.

When the trained kites were first released last fall, Yue Feng did use the most primitive method of hand-holding the line. Xiao Tao and his friends had also witnessed it and experimented with it themselves, and did not think there was anything wrong with it.

Now we have to make the core of the bamboo sticks and weave the wicker baskets. It seems a bit troublesome.

Yue Feng took care of the closing details of the first rattan basket, then pushed the stick core into the middle of the rattan basket and put it aside.

After finishing the first set, Yue Feng continued to explain: “Releasing the kite and releasing the kite are similar in principle, but the error tolerance of the handlebar line is too low!

Not to mention anything else, how heavy are pine nuts? A larger one weighs only two taels, while a kite weighs at least half a catty, and the big ones weigh six or seven taels!

Even though this tire line doesn’t seem to be very thick or heavy, it is a huge flying burden for Songzier!
If you use the previous hand-held line, the flying speed of the pine nuts will be significantly affected! So if you want to improve efficiency, you have to use a thinner nylon line!
This nylon thread is a bit thin, and the handle will easily fall apart, and if you’re not careful the fried flour will become a mess!

At this time, we need to use a special tool for releasing young eagles, such as a nest!”

After listening to Yue Feng’s explanation, Xiao Tao picked up the first set of rough nest picking tools that Yue Feng had just made and looked at it carefully.

“How do you use this thing? It looks pretty complicated!”

Yue Feng did not stop working and continued to weave the second rattan basket: “There are still a few parts missing to complete it! Once it’s done, I’ll teach you how to use it!
This thing is very simple, with a leather belt tied around the wrist, it is used to flatten the eagle! “

After hearing this, Xiao Tao stopped asking questions. It wasn’t finished yet, so there was no point in asking more questions now.

Just like that, Yue Feng and the other guys from the hunting team stayed at the market from the beginning of the morning until the big market was over at around 3:00 in the afternoon. They had fried cakes bought at the market for lunch.

These young people are used to climbing on ice and lying in the snow in the mountains. No one takes it seriously if they don’t go home for dinner and just buy something to make do with their meal.

Yue Feng spent most of the day hand-making more than a dozen rattan baskets. While waiting for the big gathering, he packed all the finished products and remaining materials into bags and took them back.

On the way back to the village from the market, Yue Feng went to the grove to check the cage nets. With four nets, he only caught a hawk with four tail feathers. Yue Feng tied it up with his hawk coat and took it back home.

After returning home, Yue Feng untied the little eagles that had been tied up for most of the day and started to beat them one by one. These little eagles are small in size and their metabolism is slower than that of kites, so they are not afraid of holding in their poop.

After six or seven hours of high-intensity face-to-face training, the small pine nut in Yue Feng’s hand is no longer as scary as it was at the beginning. It stands firmly on the inside of Yue Feng’s thumb, and occasionally glances at the surrounding movements.

“Hehe, this little thing is so easy to play with. It looks like we should be able to have a good meal tomorrow morning!” Yue Feng gently brushed the tail of the hairless pine nut with his hand. The little guy was a little nervous.

Yue Feng used a cotton cloth dipped in water to wipe the little eagle’s mouth and fed it a little water. After the little eagle made a bar of water, he used the eagle’s coat to flatten it again.

He carried it out and strolled to the new house, and as usual, he checked the condition of the eagle house.

The big black eagle and the little white eagle were both in the eagle house. When they saw their owner coming, they hung their heads and cried.

Yue Feng glanced at the platform next to the eagle’s nest. Xiaobai had caught a sand chicken and a small pheasant with half of its body left.

This white spear is really good at hunting for food. It can kill almost any small or medium-sized prey, and use all kinds of methods to provide nutrition for the wife who is in confinement after childbirth.

After inspecting the eagle room, Yue Feng went to the main room in the north house and took a look at the progress of the carpenter.

The furniture for the new house has been built for more than half. I briefly asked about the progress and it is estimated that including the windows, it will be completed in about a week.

Only when Yue Feng really started to plan and build infrastructure did he realize how difficult it was for the older generation to accomplish anything in this era.

Take the carpenter making furniture for example. He lacks electric tools and relies almost entirely on primitive carpentry tools to do his work, hammering and banging around. Even if he doesn’t slack off throughout the day, there won’t be much progress on the progress bar.

The same thing happened at the Shangshan breeding farm. The construction team had completed the main work, and the remaining minor tasks were all handled by Uncle Zhao. Yue Feng, on the contrary, had a lot of free time. He only needed to coordinate the general direction and provide some materials and supplies.

After bragging to the carpenter about the new house for a while, Yue Feng strolled back home as it was getting dark.

I had just arrived home when my little sister Jingjing came back with her schoolbag.

“Second brother!! Look!! I brought the little bear cub back with me!” As soon as Jingjing entered the door, she called Yue Feng as if she was presenting a treasure, opened her schoolbag, and took out a bear cub that looked like a half-grown puppy.

“Uh, why did you bring it back directly to the bear cub? Didn’t I tell you this morning to take me to visit your classmate’s house after school?”

Yue Feng took a closer look at the bear cub who was not afraid of people and asked with a bit of a headache.

“I just wanted to save you a trip! Liu Maochen’s house is on my way home from school! I just brought it back!” said the little girl with a cunning look on her face.

“Tsk, you’re afraid that I won’t buy anything after I see it, and then something unexpected will happen!! You think your brother can’t understand your little tricks!”

Yue Feng knew his eccentric little sister very well and he exposed her directly to her face without any hesitation.

“Hehe! Second brother is the best! Please leave the coal briquettes to me! I gave all my money to others!” Jingjing said coquettishly while hugging the bear cub with a little effort.

“How much did it cost?” Yue Feng continued to ask.

“Twenty! I used my own New Year’s money, you have to reimburse me for it! Don’t tell mom, or I will stop being friends with you!”

When Yue Feng heard the price of twenty yuan, he felt it was quite cheap. He thought it must be a bargain due to friendship between classmates.

“Alright! Now that you’ve brought it back, let me take a look! Be careful, this thing has very sharp claws, don’t let it scratch you!!”

Yue Feng took out two big unity notes from his pocket and filled the hole in his little sister’s New Year’s money.

Although the little girl was quiet on weekdays, she ranked first in the class in the final exam at the end of the year. She had earned a lot of New Year’s money and now had at least 30 yuan in her hand. However, she was reluctant to spend it on weekdays. She took out most of it and bought the bear cub without asking for permission first, which surprised Yue Feng.

Yue Feng took the bear cub, weighed it in his hand, and looked around at it.

Judging from the time, this little bear cub is at least four months old, but it weighs only about twelve or thirteen pounds in Yue Feng’s hand. Yue Feng touched it and found it was very thin, with skin sticking to bones and almost no fat.

When arriving in an unfamiliar environment, the little guy was not afraid. His black eyes looked around and his wet nose kept sniffing the surrounding smells.

When Yue Feng picked him up, he didn’t resist but just hummed softly twice. He seemed to have a stable personality.

“This bear cub is more than four months old, and it’s only this small. Has your classmate never fed it properly?” Yue Feng asked curiously.

“I heard from Liu Maochen that this bear cub has a huge appetite. He drinks two large bowls of corn stubble porridge for one meal! He eats more than he does! I don’t know why, but he just keeps eating but doesn’t grow taller!”

Hearing his little sister say this, Yue Feng immediately laughed.

The bear is already a few months old, but it is only fed so little food a day. No wonder it is so small.

I guess the other parent didn’t plan to keep this thing for a long time when they brought it home. They just wanted to keep the child from starving to death and entertain him for a while.

Now that the temperature has warmed up in spring, the bear cub’s appetite has increased, so he is trying to get rid of this hot potato.

Jingjing has unknowingly become a scapegoat.

“Go to the kitchen and get some soup and a corn tortilla!”

“profound!”

Soon, Jingjing walked into the front hall carrying a plate of soup and a golden corn cake.

The little bear cub in front of him sniffed and immediately smelled the scent of food, and began to struggle in Yue Feng’s hands with a whimper.

Yue Feng knew at a glance that the boy was hungry.

“Break the bread into pieces and dip it in some vegetable soup. The little guy is starving!”

Jingjing did as she was told. She was happy to do some work for the bear cub she had bought with great care.

Soon, the pancake was broken into pieces and soaked in the soup. Yue Feng put the bear cub on the ground and immediately ran towards the food on the ground.

The next second, Yue Feng and Jingjing were both shocked by the little bear cub’s eating behavior.

The little bear ate the large and small pieces of corn tortillas, one bite at a time, almost without chewing, and swallowed them all in less than two minutes, as if he was afraid that others would snatch them away.

Not only did he eat up all the corn tortillas, but he also didn’t waste the remaining soup. He licked it back and forth several times with his tongue, and there was nothing left.

My goodness, this bear cub is simply a starving ghost. (End of this chapter)
