The brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu have a card table at home, so they definitely cannot go on the business trip with Yue Feng.

Xiao Tao doesn’t have anything to do, so he can be taken out to see the world.

Yue Feng also had another important consideration: the brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu were more calm and measured in their approach to things.

After Yue Feng leaves, Xiaowen can be initially responsible for the daily delivery business at home. Xiaowen and Xiaowu, the two brothers, are also familiar with the supplies of the breeding farm on the mountain, so they have no problem replacing Yue Feng for a while.

After a brief discussion, Yue Feng’s follow-up arrangements were quickly finalized.

Xiao Tao went on the business trip with Yue Feng, while the brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu stayed at home to look after the house. They adjusted the condition of the caged hawks for a few days and then released them up the mountain to resume the supply of game to the second canteen.

After deciding on the people to take care of some daily affairs at home, there was another thing that Yue Feng needed to put on the agenda.

Those are the new members of the falconry team that were just developed this spring and summer, and they haven’t found a falcon yet.

Before Yue Feng leaves, he has to solve the problem of these eagles.

As for Uncle Chen, after Yue Feng’s technical sharing, it is no problem for him to fiddle with a kite or a hawk. The matter of training the hawk can be handed over to Uncle Chen, and Yue Feng only needs to catch a qualified falcon!
Based on this situation, Yue Feng decisively made adjustments to the eagle attack in the next week.

In addition to continuing to “stake out” every day at Hutou Mountain to catch large eagles with hand-pulled nets and self-set nets, the place where I went to catch young eagles in the small woods by the river last year has also set up a riding cage net.

Both kites and eagles are useful. As long as one has enough aptitude, they can be used to catch sand chickens, flying dragon birds, and the like.

For the next week, Yue Feng focused almost all his attention on catching eagles.

The eagle farms of all sizes are running around the clock on the mountains and hills. Fortunately, I have motorcycles which can save me a lot of energy on the road. Otherwise, no one can bear running like this every day for a long time.

The high intensity of catching falcons naturally led to qualitative changes in quantity. In a week, Yue Feng caught more than a dozen falcons of different sizes.

After careful selection, six sub-adult kites of good quality were left. The largest of them, a Red Kitten, weighed almost as much as last year’s Great Blue Kitten.

The kite has the appearance of a large eagle and has a very solid foundation.

In addition, in Hutoushan, two large eagles and one chicken eagle were caught in a week. They were all of average quality, not top quality, but good enough for normal use.

It seems that we are still a little far from the time when the large eagle flocks migrate, but with three goshawks and six sparrowhawks in hand, there will be no major problems with the falcon reserves for this hunting season.

The brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu have already gained a basic understanding of the precautions for training young eagles, so it should be no problem for them to simply and orderly train the several eagles that are being caged and molted at home.

Just like that, after assigning all matters inside and outside to suitable persons, Yue Feng called Ye Jianjun using the village office’s phone.

At seven o’clock the next morning, the car that came to pick people up drove to the door of Yue Feng’s house.

Yue Feng gathered all the nets for catching eagles and the equipment for training eagles and put them in the car.

The car carrying brothers Yue Feng and Xiao Tao left the mountain village and headed west onto the national highway, heading straight to Songcheng.

From Fengcheng to Songcheng, the straight-line distance on the map is just over 300 kilometers, but if you look at the actual distance, it is estimated to be more than 400 kilometers.

In this day and age, if you take a green train, it will take about twelve hours to travel 400 kilometers with stops and starts.

But taking a car is much faster than taking a green train.

The driver was a very capable young man, who didn’t talk much but had sharp eyes.

He concentrated on driving almost all the way, and in less than half the time, he sent Yue Feng and Xiao Tao to an air force airport in Songcheng.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, a car with military license plates drove to the entrance of the air force airport and was immediately stopped by the staff on duty.

Verify the identity of the person, register the visitor, and notify the contact person.

In less than ten minutes, Ye Jianjun, whom I hadn’t seen for half a year, came to the gate in military uniform.

“Brother Jun!!!” Yue Feng waved and greeted him from a distance.

“Hey, you two are here pretty fast, bro! I think the journey was smooth. Grab your stuff and follow me!!!”

Ye Jianjun hugged Yue Feng warmly, then greeted the guard at the door and led Yue Feng and Xiao Tao to the living area.

As for Yue Feng, he has lived two lives after all, and his knowledge is definitely much better than that of ordinary people of this era, but visiting the interior of a military airport is really her first time to get into a bridal sedan.

The construction standards of military airports in this era are already very good, with hardened roads, clean environment, and not even a weed on the road. No matter where you go, you can feel the efficiency of the military.

“You two haven’t eaten yet, right? Are you carsick after riding all the way here?” Ye Jianjun asked with concern.

“I’m not carsick. I had breakfast at 6am and didn’t stop on the way! I haven’t had lunch yet!” Yue Feng replied with a smile. “I’ll put your luggage down first, arrange a place for you to stay, and then take you to eat! Try our food!”

“That’s great!” Yue Feng agreed with a smile.

Not to mention the trivialities of arranging accommodation and storing luggage, it was a standard military camp guesthouse. Yue Feng and Xiao Tao lived in a standard double room, which was neat and clean, and completely up to military standards.

It is worth mentioning that Ye Jianjun brought the two brothers to the cafeteria and quickly prepared a meal from the Air Force kitchen for each of them.

Rice, beef stewed with potatoes, braised yellow croaker, braised prawns, cold bracken and tomato and egg soup.

There are four dishes and one soup, with a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables, and the standard is extremely high.

In other words, Yue Feng took his men to the mountains to hunt, and they lived a good life, with no shortage of meat at home.

For other younger people in the village, they may have never even seen ingredients such as beef, yellow croaker and prawns, let alone eaten them.

“Brother Jun, your Air Force Kitchen really lives up to its reputation! The standards are really high!” Yue Feng couldn’t help but express his feelings as he looked at the four dishes and one soup on the plate.

“Yeah, Jun! How can this shrimp grow so big? There are shrimps in the river near us, but they can only grow a little bit bigger!”

Xiao Tao was not too surprised, but he became very interested in the shrimps on the plate. This was the first time he had seen this in his life.

He picked one up with chopsticks and took a bite. The thick shrimp skin was a bit rough on his teeth. To Xiao Tao, this was a completely new experience.

Ye Jianjun was quite satisfied with the brothers’ reactions and said with a smile: “These shrimps are sea shrimps, so they are big and have thick skins. You have to peel them off when you eat them. The meat is delicious! The shrimps you usually eat are small river shrimps, so it’s normal for them to be smaller in size!”
If you like to eat it, just feel free to eat it. I can’t say anything else when you come here, but the food is guaranteed to fill you up!

I have consulted with my superiors. During your professional training at the airport, the food standards will be implemented according to the standards for pilots!

I will get you an ID card later, and from now on when it’s time to eat, you can just come here to eat like everyone else!”

“Hey, okay! If I live in your airport for a month, I will definitely gain more than ten pounds!
By the way, has the eagle trainer you mentioned on the phone come to report? Has he brought any ready-made eagles to the airport?
I have been in the hawk shed on the mountain for the past week, but I haven’t seen any pigeons or falcons that I wanted to catch!”

While eating, Yue Feng started asking about business matters.

“They have been here for two days and brought with them two big eagles that have started to eat! According to the eagle eagle, they will be ready to be released in another week!” Ye Jianjun said truthfully.

“Big Eagle?”

“Yes! After I finished talking to you on the phone, I also found an opportunity to consult him, but he raised his voice and said that I was young and didn’t understand!
When it comes to catching these turtledoves, pigeons, waterfowl, etc., you need a big eagle!”

“Forehead……”

Hearing Ye Jianjun say this, Yue Feng’s heart sank and he had a bad premonition.

As mentioned before, catching birds and driving them away are two different things!
The principle of using raptors to drive away birds is to utilize the natural predation rules of the food chain and let raptors drive away birds that move within a certain range.

It is indeed useful for eagles to catch pigeons, turtledoves, pheasants, water birds and the like, but the range of their catching is limited. When hunting with fists, they can only chase at a low altitude of several dozen to one or two hundred meters. It is impossible for them to stay in the air for a long time.

If they can’t stay in the air for a long time, how can they let more birds know that there are raptors here?
Not to mention anything else, in Yue Feng’s yard, before the greenhouse was built, birds such as sparrows and turtledoves were afraid of eagles and did not dare to hang around in the yard.

In order to keep the eagle warm and fat in the winter, a greenhouse was built. However, within a few days, the sparrows in the yard came back and were not afraid of the eagle tied to the shed at all.

The logic here is the same as that of scaring birds away from airports.

After all, airports are located in places far away from urban settlements, so various grass seeds and food are relatively abundant.

Sending a large eagle to catch birds in a short period of time is lacking in the idea of ​​driving away birds.

Ye Jianjun noticed the change in Yue Feng’s expression and said slowly, “Those two masters are distant relatives of my leader, not invited by me, so I just took a quick look and didn’t make any comments!
Our leader is a bit conceited. I am his deputy, half a level lower than him, and I don’t want to waste my breath on him!

If you run into those two masters later, just treat them as if they were air! In terms of falconry skills, despite their age, I think they are not as good as you!”

“Okay, then how do we make arrangements here? After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Without an eagle in hand, everything you say is just empty talk!” Yue Feng nodded and continued to ask.

Ye Jianjun replied: “Well, you have come such a long way, so take a day off today and go eagle hunting. Tell me if you need anything and I will have someone prepare it in advance!
If you don’t have any other plans, let’s set off tomorrow. I’ll drive you guys out to catch eagles, just to have some fun for a few days!”

Yue Feng had prepared all the nets and equipment for catching eagles before he arrived, the only thing missing was the pigeons to use as bait.

So Yue Feng said, “Well, Jun Ge, you should find a way to prepare some pigeons, preferably tile-gray ones, eight or ten will be enough!

By the way, apart from pigeons, I am not familiar with the terrain of the entire map. There are many tricks to catching eagles. First circle the area on the map, and then actually go to a spot!”

“Is that all you ask? No problem. We have maps ready-made and pigeons are easy to buy. Don’t worry about it. Eat first. I’ll arrange for someone to prepare it right away!!” (End of this chapter)
