Chapter 177 The Yue Family’s Guests

As he spoke, Yue Feng took off the traditional eagle hat with goldfish eyes that was screwed on the big black eagle’s head, revealing his ink-black and sharp eyes.

“This… this eagle looks different from other eagles! This eagle looks fierce!”

Zhang Hongbin looked up and down at the black eagle, whose feathers were as black as ink without a single stray hair, and felt mixed emotions.

A good eagle has its own charm. Even Zhang Hongbin, an amateur, can see the extraordinary charm of this Black Giraffe.

“Just looking at its appearance and shape, this big black eagle is better than those. It’s a good eagle, but it’s hard to manipulate! You’re all here, feed the eagle, and you’ll know what it’s like when it eats!”

While speaking, Yue Feng took out the pre-melted eagle food from the windowsill. It was all thin meat rolls wrapped in black feathers. At first glance, you could tell that it had been processed by humans.

When feeding normally, Yue Feng would hold the big black eagle’s legs tightly and take the meat roll to the eagle’s chest for it to eat.

But today, in order to demonstrate on the spot how ferocious the eagle is, Yue Feng deliberately did not hold the eagle’s two arms tightly.

After seeing the meat roll, the big black eagle cackled a few times. Yue Feng whistled, put on a leather glove on his left hand, and handed the roll of meat to the eagle’s claws.

In a flash, there was a muffled sound, and the big black eagle suddenly stretched out its claws when everyone was off guard and grabbed the meat roll that Yue Feng handed over.

“Fuck!” Wang Jianguo and Zhang Hongbin were both frightened by the lightning-like claws, and they uttered curse words in unison.

The big black eagle grabbed the meat, stepped on the meat with its claws, and immediately lowered its head to tear it apart. Its sharp beak tore the juice from the meat and splashed it, and it swallowed it into its stomach in two bites.

“Uncle Zhang, do you want to try it?” Yue Feng turned his head and looked at Zhang Hongbin and asked.

Without waiting for Zhang Hongbin to answer, Yue Feng handed the other prepared sand half chicken head, neck spine and other pieces in the bowl to Big Black Eagle.

The big black eagle grabbed it again, stepped on it, and gnawed the spine with its sharp beak, just like an ordinary person chewing peanuts. After a short while, the meat in the spine was gnawed away and the bones were broken into pieces.

Zhang Hongbin, who had served in the army and carried a gun and thought he was fearless, felt a little guilty at this moment.

Damn, feeding an eagle is a high-risk job. If you are not careful and get caught by its sharp claws, you will have four bloody holes on your hands!
Its mouth is also sharp, and it can easily bite a chicken neck. If it bites a human hand, it can even bite off the fingers with one bite!
If a grown man is caught and gets hurt, he can at least bear it. But the old leader has grandchildren at home. If this thing hurts a child, then a good thing will turn into a bad thing!
After witnessing the risks Yue Feng mentioned at the dinner table yesterday, Zhang Hongbin shook his head repeatedly: “Xiao Yue, you are right! This big black eagle is good, but it is not suitable to be given as a gift! Its claws and beak are too sharp!

I’d better not reach out, this thing is so fast, I’m afraid it will hit me by accident, it would be embarrassing!”

“That’s it. My uncle even asked me to give you this big black eagle as a gift last night! If I really gave it to you, I would not be helping you, but harming you!”

Seeing that the time was almost right, Yue Feng quietly spoke up for Wang Jianguo and asked for a favor.

“Old Wang definitely means well. He doesn’t understand the risks involved!” Zhang Hongbin responded with a grateful look at Wang Jianguo.

“Hehe, I just mentioned it casually! These eagles and dogs are just tricks after all. If these little things can help your uncle Zhang, you will be treated well in the future!” Wang Jianguo smiled and glanced at Yue Feng, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

“That’s for sure! We are military men, so there aren’t so many twists and turns!” Zhang Hongbin made the promise on the spot.

“Hehe, the eagle has finished watching, let’s go upstairs and stay in the house! Don’t leave at noon, just eat at home. We drank a lot last night, so let’s drink some wine at noon!” Yue Feng pulled a few people into the house again.

Zhang Hongbin no longer had any worries and had no urgent need to go back immediately, so at Yue Feng’s enthusiastic invitation, he followed Yue Feng into the house.

The head of the township security department also became a guest of honor at the kang table in Yue Feng’s house. The lunch was prepared in advance because Meng Yulan went to the market to buy vegetables, and the standard of hospitality was not low.

Long-tailed pheasant stir-fried with peppers, wild rabbit stewed with green radish, spicy stir-fried bear leg meat, braised pork with sow belly, a sweet and sour fish with a big red carp, plus a pot of rare braised female leopard (Rana sylvatica with seeds).

Although the kitchen conditions at home were limited and there was no high-fire stove used by professional chefs, the table of home-cooked dishes still made the knowledgeable Zhang Hongbin nod his head repeatedly and exclaim in delight.

These ingredients are all genuine and real. Take the long-tailed pheasant for example. Local hunters rarely catch them, and many people don’t even know there is such a species.

At noon that day, Yue Feng and Wang Jianguo accompanied them, and each drank more than a pound of liquor on average. The meal lasted from about 12 o’clock to about 2 o’clock, and then the table was cleared. The guests were very happy.

At around three o’clock in the afternoon, Zhang Hongbin, who had exceeded his expectations, said goodbye contentedly and left in his car.

After seeing off Zhang Dayantong, Wang Jianguo did not leave with him in the car, but stayed at Yue Feng’s house for a while.

At this moment, Wang Jianguo’s face was flushed, and he was quite satisfied with his nephew’s performance today.

“Uncle, did what happened today embarrass you?” Yue Feng asked with a smile.

“That’s definitely not shameful! I owe you a favor for this! If this thing can be successful, your uncle will also benefit from it!” Wang Jianguo said. “That’s fine! This eagle has a good temper and is easy to handle. It will be ready in a few days! I’ll let you know when the time comes!”

“Okay! I’ll do as you say!!”

“You don’t have any other plans today, right? Go to bed and drink some tea to sober up. If not, we can have another meal together tonight. I can learn a lot from drinking with you!”

Ever since Yue Feng heard that Wang Jianguo wanted to be his father-in-law, his mentality has subtly changed to some extent, and he has become more diligent in flattering him than before.

“That won’t do. I’ve already worked twice in two days. If I drink again at night, your aunt will definitely not let me get on the bed! We are not strangers, you should also take a rest. I have to go back!”

“That’s okay too!”

……

After chatting for a few more words, Wang Jianguo said hello to Yue Lei and left. Wang Jianguo, who had drunk quite a bit of wine, was walking on the village road of his village. He hummed a little tune unconsciously, as if he had thought of something beautiful.

After seeing off the guests, Yue Feng returned to the east room where his father was.

Since he had promised to help train this little eagle and give it away, he had to put it on the agenda as soon as possible. So Yue Feng planned to put on the outfit he had made for the eagle on the spot in the morning before he officially started to train the eagle.

This will cause less stimulation to the eagle, and you don’t have to wait until the eagle’s affinity is fully reached, and then change the two openings halfway, which may easily cause the eagle to hurt its hands (it is afraid of hands).

The father and son worked together to replace the small eagle with a new two-winged one. The newly fastened small eagle had drooping wings and a slightly open beak, appearing to be very nervous.

Yue Lei glanced at the eagle, then looked up and asked his son: “Are we going to start cleaning it up tonight? Or should we follow the old rules?”

Yue Feng nodded: “Okay, the first half of the night is yours, and the second half is mine! This eagle has been kept in the barn for such a long time, and its temper has been tempered a lot. I estimate that it will be able to show its appearance in a few nights!”

“This eagle looks small, I wonder how it can work! Don’t just wait and see, it will be useless after it goes to the fields, and then Zhang the Big Smoke will have to worry about our other eagles!”

Hearing his father’s concerns, Yue Feng grinned and said, “Don’t worry. Although this little eagle is a little small, it is strong enough to catch a rabbit or a pheasant. Besides, they gave it to the leader just for fun, not for the two rabbits. Don’t worry!”

Yue Lei nodded: “Okay! This is a good thing. Accumulate more favors. When you need them in the future, it will be like having more friends and more paths!”

“Please hold the eagle for now. I’m going to take a nap. I drank a lot and I’m a little sleepy!”

“Go ahead. Your mom and I will take care of the household chores! I’ll call you when it’s time to eat!”

……

After briefly explaining a few things to his father, Yue Feng handed the small Eagle to his father and started flying it. Then he went back to his room, climbed onto the kang, covered himself with a quilt, and soon he felt drunk and fell into a deep sleep.

According to the original plan, Yue Feng was going to sleep until dinner time in the evening. After all, he didn’t sleep well in the first half of the night last night, and he would have to stay up late in the second half of the night tonight.

But after sleeping for less than an hour, Yue Feng was woken up by the loud-voiced Xiao Tao.

“Brother! Are you catching up on your sleep on the kang? Didn’t you agree to take us to practice shooting after you finish your work? Let’s go!!”

Yue Feng, who was in a daze, quickly opened his eyes when he heard the familiar voice, and scratched his head after he came to his senses.

These guys have been eager to practice shooting ever since they got the guns back. They didn’t come over because there were guests at home in the morning. Now that Zhang Dayantong has eaten and drunk his fill, he’s left in the car, and we guys can’t hold back any longer.

“Okay, let’s go! Wait till I put my shoes on!”

Yue Feng could understand his brothers’ feelings very well and didn’t want to spoil their fun, so he quickly got up from the kang, put on his clothes and shoes, and left the house carrying the new 56 rifle he had brought back from the forest farm and some bullets.

The last time Yue Feng and Li Wentong bought guns from Tiecheng and tested them in a grove by the river. This time, Yue Feng brought his three brothers to the old place again.

The bullet marks left by the old poplar tree about a hundred meters away had become a little blurred. Yue Feng taught Xiao Tao and the Zhang brothers all the gun-handling rules and precautions that Li Wentong had taught him.

In the middle of winter, the brothers didn’t feel uncomfortable at all lying on the snow and shooting. After Yue Feng simply calibrated the gun’s aim, he handed the gun to Xiao Tao and Xiao Wen who were already eager to try.
