Chapter 173 True Demand
“Old Wang, come in quickly. Xiao Yue is next to you, right? Your brother Guo just mentioned you. You are young and promising!” Zhang Hongbin stood up a little late and greeted Yue Feng with a smile.

Wang Jianguo was afraid that Yue Feng might be impolite, so he pulled Yue Feng and reminded him, “Why don’t you call someone? What are you standing there for?”

Yue Feng called out obediently: “Uncle Zhang! Brother Guo!”

“Hahaha, hey! That’s a good way to call you uncle!!”

Zhang Hongbin was very happy when Yue Feng called him Uncle Zhang. Although he, Guo Jianfeng and Wang Jianguo had different statuses, they treated each other as comrades and equals after getting to know each other privately.

Now Yue Feng calls Zhang Hongbin uncle and Guo Jianfeng brother, which immediately makes Guo Jianfeng lose face.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. The martial arts world has no age, heroes have no generation, let’s talk about our own things!”

Xiao Guo is not a petty person. After meeting Yue Feng during the day, he found that Yue Feng was very decent in his dealings with people, words and deeds. Xiao Guo had a good impression of him.

“My nephew, this is your first time back and you brought something with you?” Zhang Hongbin stood up and strolled to the woven bag at the door.

“It’s nothing good. It’s just some wild game from the mountains. We brought half a roe deer and half a two-year-old sow!” Yue Feng said calmly.

“The meat of this sow is delicious. You guys sit here for a while and drink some tea. I’ll go to the kitchen and take a look and ask Lao Li to prepare two more dishes for us!” Zhang Hongbin carried a bag in one hand and carried the roe deer and wild boar that Yue Feng brought out of the house.

After Lao Zhang left the room, the three people in the room relaxed a lot. Yue Feng took a stool out from behind the door and sat down next to the table with Wang Jianguo.

“Brother Xiao Yue, the family of the person who was bitten to death by a bear has been found! He is from Honghetou Village at the foot of the mountain! Before I came here, the remains had already been taken away by the family!” Seeing that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward, Guo Jianfeng took the initiative to bring up the topic.

“He must have been missing in the mountains for many days, right?”

“Yes, we reported the case more than ten days ago. The village committee organized villagers to go up the mountain to search twice, but we didn’t find any useful traces! Now that the person is found, at least he has a final resting place!”

“By the way, what about the bear? Did our forest farm drag it back in the end?” Yue Feng asked knowingly.

Guo Jianfeng smiled and shook his head: “That bear, the field has other arrangements!”

Yue Feng nodded and did not continue the topic.

The meaning of having other arrangements is very simple, that is, it did not follow the normal procedures and was dragged into the hands of certain people. This is basically the same as Yue Feng’s previous prediction.

As they were talking, Zhang Hongbin and a round-faced, slightly plump kitchen chef wearing an apron walked into the room one after another, carrying plates.

“Excuse me, the food is here!” Zhang Hongbin put a pot of wild rabbit stewed with radish on the table.

The chef behind him was holding a plate with a plate of steaming sweet and sour pork and a plate of cold cuts of pork head.

“The kitchen will take a while to prepare the other dishes. We are not here as outsiders, so let’s drink first! Tonight’s dinner is hosted by Xiao Guo, so everyone should drink as much as they can. No one is allowed to be falsely polite, otherwise I won’t drink with him next time! Xiao Yue, how is your alcohol tolerance? Can you drink a pound of alcohol?” Zhang Hongbin said very cheerfully.

“It should be about the same if you try harder!!”

When it comes to drinking, Yue Feng is not at all nervous. When it comes to this business, he is very familiar with it!

“He can hunt bears in the mountains and drink at the table. You can tell at a glance that he is a good comrade. What kind of man is he if he doesn’t drink?
Come on, come on, tonight, let’s each have a bottle first, and we can open more if it’s not enough. I have more wine in the warehouse behind, so you’ll have enough for today!”

Zhang Hongbin directly took out a cardboard box from the cupboard and pulled out four unopened bottles of Spring Festival wine from it.

At that time, Yingchun wine was of quite high quality. The mainstream drink was Sanbai, which cost 30 cents per pound. Being able to drink Baishan Daqu was considered a good condition.

The hot dishes arrived and everyone immediately poured some wine and started eating.

At first, Yue Feng felt a little restrained sitting with these three veterans, but within less than a glass of wine, Yue Feng slowly adapted to the rhythm of the table.

Although Zhang Hongbin had the highest status among those present, he had a generous personality and did not have the airs of a leader at all. While eating and drinking, they talked about things that happened at home.

For example, the missing mountain villager that Yue Feng and his team found in the bear’s den. Zhang Hongbin had heard about the previous search for people in the mountains, and he even helped contact the township security department’s phone number to notify the surrounding villages to assist in the search. When he mentioned this, he sighed.

After two glasses of wine, the three veterans got excited and started talking about their experiences when they were in the army.

The younger generation Yue Feng spent most of the time listening quietly, lighting cigarettes, pouring wine, pouring tea, and serving dishes. Throughout the entire dinner, Yue Feng took care of all these service matters without any mistakes.

After three glasses of wine, Zhang Hongbin brought the topic to Yue Feng. “Xiao Feng, I heard from Xiao Guo that you have a Black Hawk at home? Did you show off your skills to Zhou Jianchun at the forest farm a few days ago? Did you scare that grandson right away?”

Yue Feng shouted and nodded with a smile: “It’s just a little thing, not worth mentioning!
I encountered this eagle by accident while hunting in the mountains. It can hear gunshots. When we hunters kill pigs or bears, we take out the internal organs and hang them on trees to offer sacrifices to the mountain gods. This big black eagle will specifically eat the internal organs of these animals when it hears the gunshots!

Later, when I discovered it, I tried to find a way to catch it back with the eagle!

Today I came here with the half-dozen roe deer I brought from home, the one I caught the eagle with on the day I caught it. I used a 56-ounce half dozen!”

“They all say that the eagle must be tortured, and it must be tortured into submission before it will obey you. Is that true? Although I don’t have time to raise an eagle, I like this thing very much.

My old leader in the army was given a big eagle that could catch rabbits. We even released it in the wild together. However, the eagle became disobedient after a short period of time.

Later, when I was out grazing, I came across a pheasant. I sent a hawk to chase it, but halfway through the chase the hawk took off and flew away. I searched for a long time but couldn’t find it!

After hearing what Zhang Hongbin said, Yue Feng knew what was going on. He nodded and said, “It takes a lot of effort for a big eagle to be obedient! I have the big eagle that catches rabbits you mentioned at home!”

“Yes, you are being too conservative. My nephew’s family has kites that catch flying dragons and eagles that catch rabbits and pheasants!

Ordinary families in our village use plastic sheets to seal their windows during the winter, but his family is different. They built a warm shed in front of the house specifically for the eagle!”

Wang Jianguo listened carefully and immediately took over the conversation after he realized that Zhang Hongbin was interested in Yue Feng’s eagle.

“Oh? So, you have more than one eagle at home?” Zhang Hongbin immediately became interested after hearing what Wang Jianguo said.

Yue Feng nodded: “Yes, at present, there are three kites at home, two big eagles, a chicken eagle, and a big black eagle that I haven’t trained yet!”

“With so many, can you give me one? I’ll pay you according to the market price, okay?

My old leader has retired now. He doesn’t like smoking or drinking, but he just likes this thing!

“Let’s send them some food and drinks. They don’t need anything. I asked a lot of people but couldn’t find a reliable one. I didn’t expect there would be an expert right next door!”

When Zhang Hongbin heard that Yue Feng had so many eagles at home, he was immediately attracted.

In fact, if you want to win the favor of big shots, you must have something to show for it, whether you are careful, sensible, or have other connections or backgrounds, or have any abilities.

There is no such thing as love without reason. Even if someone doesn’t value material things, it still depends on your temperament and character. You have to have some shining points to be liked by others.

The reason why Zhang Hongbin specifically asked Wang Jianguo to call Yue Feng to come for a drink was not only because he admired this young hunter with outstanding abilities, but also because he wanted to help his old leader get a real falcon, the more exquisite and rare the better.

“This is not a rare thing. If Uncle Zhang wants to get it, I can help you train one! It just so happens that we have a live eagle caught in the fall that has not been trained yet at home. It will be trained and ready to go in ten days or half a month at most!” Yue Feng said without hesitation.

“Don’t you have hawks at home? Pick one for Minister Zhang, and you can train him later?”

Wang Jianguo was somewhat anxious when he saw that Yue Feng was somewhat reserved. This was a key opportunity to build relationships and earn favors, but his nephew was a little slow to react.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “The eagles at home have been released by the hunting team for half a winter. When there are no group activities, we go up the mountain with the eagles to work almost every day.

In nature, eagles rest after eating, but it is different in human hands. The work they do in one day is equivalent to the work they would do in the wild for ten days or half a month.

The higher the intensity of the work, the greater the wear and tear on the feathers!

Therefore, the wings and tail feathers of the eagles at home have some normal wear and tear and creases to a greater or lesser extent.

Since this falcon is a gift to an old leader, we can’t give a falcon with broken feathers, broken tail feathers, or poor quality! Uncle Zhang, what do you think? “

“That’s right! It would be best if it was in good condition and rare!! I heard from Xiao Guo that your Black Hawk is pretty good, why don’t you give it to me?”

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head and refused, “This eagle is too big and has a very fierce temper. It’s not safe for the leader to raise it!

I have been raising the eagle until now, and I still have to wear gloves when feeding it every day!
What if there are children, elderly people or something like that in the leader’s family, and they are accidentally caught or pecked by an eagle, then a good thing will turn into a bad thing!
Moreover, your old leader only likes eagles and has never systematically learned how to tame and train them! Even if I am willing to do so, if you take the eagle away, it will become reborn in your leader’s hands in a few days and fly away as soon as you let go. It’s not worth it! ! “

It is too easy for an expert to fool a layman. Yue Feng only needed to put some thought into it and extinguished Zhang Hongbin’s unrealistic fantasy about his big black eagle.
