Chapter 216 Private Reward
Giving gifts such as bear paws or deer hearts can only be considered thoughtful, but if the gift was a lynx, it would definitely be considered rare in the context of the time.

When it comes to gifts, what you give is not rare things, but ordinary things that people don’t lack. It doesn’t really matter if there is one more or one less. Previously, Zhang Hongbin gave an eagle to the old leader. Logically speaking, it is the same as giving lynx meat now.

Yue Feng thought about it and felt that Xiaowen was right. It seemed that this was indeed the truth.

The most precious and valuable skins have been taken by the team. After deducting the intelligence fees, there are still hundreds or even thousands of dollars left, so everyone can get a lot of money.

As for the lynx meat, if I don’t want to sell it, I won’t sell it. Even if it’s only a few dollars a pound, it’s far better to give it as a gift as a rarity, which is more cost-effective.

“Okay, then let’s do as Xiaowen said. The meat will be priced at 50 yuan, and we can deduct some extra money when we sell the skin and divide the money. After all, I led everyone to hunt it, so everyone should have a share!” Yue Feng nodded and gave a plan.

“I don’t care about any price! If uncle can make further progress, won’t we younger generations also benefit from it? I don’t care about others, but I don’t want this part of the money!” Xiao Tao was reluctant after hearing this, and felt a little strange to his elder brother.

“I don’t want it either!”

“I don’t want it either!”

The three brothers are not the kind of people who care about trivial matters. They know that the team can be what it is today because Yue Feng has contributed much more than anyone else to everyone. If it weren’t for Yue Feng leading them to make money, there would be no good life now.

“Okay, okay, let’s not count the money. This meat can be considered our investment! I won’t mention similar things again in the future!” Yue Feng waved his hands. He appreciated his brothers’ kindness and stopped worrying about this issue.

“That’s better. Let’s go back! Get some meat and try it to see if it tastes good!”

“Come on, come on, I’ll carry the meat! Xiao Tao, you lead the dog!”

……

The four brothers propped up a detachable sled made of wild boar skin, tied up the prey, led the dogs and dragged the sled down the mountain.

When we got home at 2:30 in the afternoon, the brothers were already starving. But on the way home, no one mentioned lunch. They were still excited about the thousand yuan they earned from going into the mountains.

When I got home, I sat in front of the fireplace to warm myself up, and my stomach started to growl like a drum.

Meng Yulan didn’t care whether it was time for food or not, and immediately started preparing meals for the four children at home.

Since he was planning to give it as a gift, the lynx meat must not be cut into pieces. Yue Feng only used a sharp knife and a hand axe to remove half of the ribs, one front leg and one hind leg. He soaked them in cold water to squeeze out the blood, and left the other half of the complete lynx meat with the neck, spine and half of the skull untouched.

Under Yue Feng’s arrangement, the lynx meat was chopped into small pieces with an axe, then soaked in clean water for half an hour to squeeze out the blood. The fatty pork belly was then put into the pan to stir-fry the meaty fat, and then green onions, ginger, garlic and chilies were added to stir-fry until fragrant. The meat pieces were poured in and stir-fried. When the skin changed color slightly, half a pot of cooking wine and soy sauce were poured in and simmered slowly over low heat.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, the meal was ready. Meng Yulan took the largest basin in the house and took out the lynx meat from the pot.

Yue Feng couldn’t wait to pick up a piece with chopsticks and taste it.

It is slightly different from the roe deer meat I remember eating, but the meat is chewy and not bad!

“Sure, Brother Feng, this meat is really not bad!”

“It has a light smell, not earthy or bloody, but it’s not bad!”

“Delicious! The meat is lean, but not tough!”

Not only did the four young people think the meat was delicious, but even Meng Yulan and Yue Lei thought it tasted very good after tasting it.

“There’s still some in the pot, so eat as much as you can in the basin! I’ll serve you a few bowls separately, so you can take them home and let your family taste them when you go home!” Meng Yulan’s cooking skills were unanimously recognized by everyone, and she was in a very good mood.

The full pot of meat was eaten up by everyone. After they were full, they went home to rest. Yue Feng stuffed the remaining half of the lynx into a woven bag.

Meng Yulan saw her son fiddling with the meat and asked, “Why are you packing the meat in bags? Are you sending it to the canteen? There’s not much of it, why don’t we keep some for ourselves? I didn’t expect this lynx meat to be so delicious!”

Yue Feng smiled and said, “I’m not sending it to the canteen to sell for money. I’m planning to send it to Xiaona’s family! My uncle wants to get promoted, so he has to build good relationships with the people above him. This thing can’t be sold at a high price, but it’s rare, so it’s a good gift!”

When Meng Yulan heard that her son wanted to flatter his father-in-law, she nodded immediately: “This is indeed appropriate! I heard from your father that your grandfather went up the mountain for half his life and only encountered a lynx once, and he didn’t kill it! This thing is rare! Are you going now?”

“Well! Anyway, we’re getting engaged soon, so I’m not afraid of what others will say if they see me! I’ll go!”

“Go ahead! If Xiaona is at home, stay in her room for a while. You are an adult now, so be smart when talking and doing things with girls. Don’t be so stupid!”

“Hehe, look at what you said, I think I’m pretty good at coaxing children!” Yue Feng scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

“What the hell, your little sister Jingjing is better than you! Go away and stop talking bullshit to me!”

“Well then!”

……

Following his mother’s instructions, Yue Feng went to Wang Jianguo’s home with the skis tucked under his left arm and a snakeskin bag on his right hand.

Wang Jianguo was drinking tea at home. When he heard his wife calling Yue Feng into the house, he came out to greet him.

“What are you carrying in broad daylight? We haven’t finished eating the meat we bought at home yet!” Wang Jianguo took the skis from Yue Feng and asked with a smile.

Yue Feng deliberately kept the secret and opened the bag: “See for yourself!”

Wang Jianguo glanced down and frowned slightly.

“Is this dog meat? No, a dog’s mouth is long! Mountain cat? Mountain cats aren’t this big! Damn, this is a tiger cub! Did you get something big in the mountains?”

Wang Jianguo was also a connoisseur. After seeing the sharp canine teeth on the half head and the short tail behind it, he immediately recognized this half lynx.

“Hey, that’s all thanks to you, uncle, for lending me the skis. Half of the military medal goes to you!” Yue Feng said with a slightly raised mouth. “You’re just kidding. Let’s go inside and talk. It’s cold outside!”

Soon, Wang Jianguo let Yue Feng into the house.

After briefly talking about what happened on the mountain, Yue Feng started talking about this half lynx.

“Uncle! We cooked this thing and tasted it when we came back at noon. It tasted pretty good! If we sell it, it may not be sold at a high price, but it can be used as a gift to build relationships. With the unanimous agreement of our brothers, we will send this half to you!”

“Giving gifts? You are really amazing! I was just worrying about this problem, but I didn’t expect you to solve it for me!” When Wang Jianguo heard the word “giving gifts”, he was obviously stunned, and a look of surprise appeared on his face in an instant.

Yesterday, Zhang Hongbin called Wang Jianguo and told him that he had made some progress in asking his old leader for help in transferring his job. He also arranged a dinner party in the evening and introduced him to a friend from a certain department of the municipal group.

We have just established contact, so we have to go around a bit. The things we bring are quite particular. If it is too expensive, people will definitely not accept it. If it is too inferior, it will not have the effect of giving a gift.

This half lynx sent by my brother-in-law would be suitable as a gift. It is not valuable, but rare enough. It is the kind of gift that is both affordable and useful.

“Hehe! As long as they are useful, that’s good! If you find any mountain products that you can use, just tell me and I’ll take people to the mountains to hunt! Ordinary roe deer, wild boars, etc., can always be obtained as long as you put in a little effort!”

“Okay, you’re thoughtful! Xiaona is in the west room, go talk to her! I have to pack up and go to the city now. It will be dark if I’m late!”

“it is good!”

Yue Feng comes here every few days recently, so he doesn’t feel as restrained as he did the first time.

My father-in-law is going to the city, and my mother-in-law and brother-in-law are not at home. This is a good opportunity to do something bad!

Thinking of this, Yue Feng knocked on the door of the west room.

“Xiao Na, I’m coming in!”

Before Yue Feng could push the door, it opened from the inside. Wang Xiaona looked at Yue Feng with a smile on her face. After the two looked at each other, the little girl’s face turned red instantly.

“Okay, you eavesdropped on my conversation with your dad at the door!” Yue Feng lowered his voice and gave Wang Xiaona a mean look.

“No way! I was just about to leave the house!”

“Why are you leaving the house?”

“What not to do!”

“I brought half a lynx with me, why don’t you take a look at it?”

“What’s so good about the blood splashing around? The top of your head is about to be blown off!” Wang Xiaona said with a pout.

“You’ve seen it!”

“Well, you were talking in the east room just now, and I went out to take a look! You’re a pretty good shooter!”

“That’s right, one shot to the head, every bullet hits the target!”

In front of the girl, Yue Feng had to maintain his image as an elite hunter. As for the details about the three bad guys who had failed in their ambushes with empty guns in turn, he would definitely not mention them.

After the two chatted for a while, Wang Jianguo from the outer room shouted in the yard and left with his bicycle, leaving only the two of them in the house.

“Your dad is gone! We are the only two people at home!”

“Hmm? Then what do you want to do?”

“Look, we’re going to get engaged next month, and you’ll be my wife from now on. Your partner is so capable, shouldn’t you give him a personal reward?”

“I made you a little treat, wait till I get it for you!”

As she spoke, Wang Xiaona took out a small package from the cupboard and opened it to reveal a knitted scarf.

“I learned to crochet this scarf from my mom. Try it on and see if it fits you well!”

While speaking, Wang Xiaona opened the scarf and measured it against Yue Feng’s neck.

This scarf is flat-knitted and has no patterns, but it is made of wool and is very warm when worn.

“The reward I’m talking about is not this kind of reward!”

“what is that?”

“Should I hold your hand or something?”

“Hey…you are so bad! You actually tried to take advantage of me when my parents are not at home!” A blush immediately appeared on Wang Xiaona’s face.
