Chapter 345: Better Wine Than State Banquet Moutai

At this critical moment, Yue Feng had no time to greet the villagers who were watching the fun. He immediately opened the gate and let his friends into the house.

Even Master Sun, who drives a truck, was among those invited by Yue Feng.

There were only three and a half rooms in the house, which was definitely not spacious, but at that time, ordinary families lived in similar conditions, so no one cared.

Before leaving in the morning, Yue Feng had already made arrangements with his parents. His parents had been busy at home almost the entire day, waiting for Yue Feng to bring back the leaders from the city.

Now that their son had returned with guests, Meng Yulan and Yue Lei immediately came out from the north room to greet them.

“You’re back! Is everything going well?” Meng Yulan asked with some nervous concern.

Yue Feng grinned and pointed at his parents and said, “This is my dad Yue Lei! My mom Meng Yulan.

My dad broke his leg and it hasn’t healed yet!
Mom and Dad, these are the friends who went hunting with me today, Mr. Zou from Hongqi Coal Mine, Director Hou from the Mining Bureau, and Director Du from the Forestry Bureau! !
It’s cold outside, let’s go inside and warm up first!!”

“Your leg is still injured, why are you still out! Come inside quickly!! This is so inappropriate!!

You have raised a good son. You took us into the mountains today and we had a great time!”

Zou Zhaoguo held Yue Lei and spoke very politely.

Yue Lei had never seen such a scene in his life. Three bureau chiefs and CEOs were making friends with his son. In terms of age, these people were several years older than Yue Lei.

Meng Yulan: “It’s nothing! Let’s go inside, it’s warm! Xiaofeng’s dad’s leg injury is almost healed, and our eldest son just took him to get an X-ray over the weekend! It’s good to get out and move around!”

After a few brief greetings, Yue Feng brought the guests into the house.

Yue Feng led the guests to the east room and had them sit on the kang to drink tea and eat melon seeds.

As for the four drivers, Yue Feng arranged for them to sleep on the kang in the west room where he slept, and they were treated equally with a warm kang, tea and melon seeds. The only drawback was that there were four dogs and an eagle in the room.

But the drivers were not picky. They went into the house and got on the kang to warm themselves up first.

After settling the guests, Yue Feng immediately asked Xiaowu to unload the bear paws from the car.

It’s past three in the afternoon, and there are still at least a few hours before the banquet starts. If we prepare it now, we can make fresh bear paws in the evening and serve them to our guests.

This was not the first time that Yue Feng’s family had such distinguished guests, and their response strategy was very smooth. No one had to be asked to do the work. Yue Feng and Yue Lei were responsible for chatting with these leaders.

Since they all came from farming families, there was a lot to talk about. The leaders of that era were relatively down-to-earth.

After warming up in the house, I drank some tea, ate some melon seeds and chatted for a while. Time passed quickly.

While chatting, Zou Zhaoguo and Hou Xiaoliang, like Du Chonglai, asked Yue’s father and son indirectly about the family situation and relatives living outside the city.

Compared with Director Du’s straightforwardness, Zou Zhaoguo and Hou Xiaoliang’s questions were more subtle.

Faced with these “temptations”, Yue Lei gave normal answers to those he could answer, and when he encountered something he didn’t understand, he said it was Yue Feng’s own friend.

Yue Feng didn’t point it out directly, but just mentioned it implicitly and left it at that.

After hearing the answer, Director Zou and Director Hou also looked thoughtful.

The fact that Yue Feng has such a friend is definitely not just because he is well trained. In all likelihood, there are other things that are not convenient to talk about openly.

Now, the space for imagination has been partially satisfied, and the previous speculation has been preliminarily fulfilled.

Being able to have a say with the wealthy and powerful in Yanjing is already something that these local middle and high-level officials should take seriously.

As a result, the atmosphere of the subsequent conversation became obviously more friendly and down-to-earth.

Before we knew it, it was five o’clock in the afternoon. Xiaowen and Xiaotao, the brothers who had been on standby at the forest farm all day, also returned on the small train that the forest farm workers used to go down the mountain.

Seeing the four cars parked in front of his eldest brother’s house, Xiao Tao subconsciously looked around at the Jiefang truck.

When they looked into the truck bed, they were immediately shocked. There were a bunch of wild boars, big and small, and three brown bears, one large and two small, all in the truck bed. Today’s hunting trip was very fruitful.

The two brothers entered the yard and found Xiaowu chopping wood under the south wall. They went over to him and asked, “Xiaowu, is everything going well today?”

Xiaowu looked up when he saw the two brothers and said, “Don’t mention it. Three bears jumped out of a warehouse. If Brother Feng hadn’t reacted quickly and killed the bears, I would have been injured today!

They are all drinking tea in the old man’s room. Let me tell you, let’s not go in and meddle. If you can help in the kitchen, it would be nice to go to the west room and stay with the driver for a while!”

Xiaowen nodded after hearing this: “Let’s go to the kitchen and light a fire for Auntie!”

He quickly entered the house and went into the kitchen to help boil water.

At this time, people were drinking water and chatting in the house. Du Chonglai heard the noise outside and looked up and asked, “Is there someone outside again?”

Yue Feng stuck his head out to take a look, then said with a smile: “Our two brothers are back. We went into the mountains to hunt, so I asked them to wait at the forest farm. They are coming back in the car with the lumberjacks who are getting off work!”

“You… have a backup plan?”

Hearing that Yue Feng had arranged extra people to be on standby at all times, Du Chonglai’s impression of Yue Feng improved a lot.

You can tell what kind of person a person is by the way he does things. Yue Feng obviously does things in a planned and methodical manner, which is rare among young people of his age.

“It’s not really a backup plan, because our attitude towards the forest farm is not very clear.

For example, if I go to the forest farm to borrow a car, and I can’t find a leader who has the final say, wouldn’t that delay our business?

With my two brothers here, even if there are some unexpected situations, at least they will be there when we need help!

They are all very capable young men. I will introduce them to some uncles during dinner tonight!”

“Haha, if that’s what you said, then you have to have a few drinks with them tonight!
By the way, it’s getting dark, and we’ve warmed up in the house. Can you take us to see the minks and deer you raise?” Director Du asked casually.

At this point, we have to mention that those leaders have to consider a lot when doing things.

It was not yet dark, but approaching dusk. If I went in to see the sable, I would not be able to find an excuse if Yue Feng was just bragging.

They drank tea and chatted in the house first, and deliberately stayed until the evening before bringing up the subject. If Yue Feng was bragging, he could use the excuse that it was getting dark and he couldn’t see clearly to refuse, which left some room for maneuver.

Of course, if Yue Feng really boasted, people would not expose him in person, but the overall score given to him afterwards would definitely drop, there is no way around it.

“Okay! We’re in the warehouse. It’s getting dark. I’ll get a flashlight!” Yue Feng agreed without hesitation, then took a flashlight from the tripod, led the three people off the kang, and came to the warehouse.

There are 15 sables, all in separate one-plus-one cages, lined up near the wall of the warehouse where they can get sun exposure during the day.

Because it was getting dark, the sables, which had been raised for such a long time, were not so afraid of people anymore. When they saw people coming in, many of them stretched out their curious little heads to observe the outside.

After seeing the lively sable, Director Du finally believed that what Yue Feng said in the car before was true.

Not to mention the breeding value of the sable if it had cubs, just selling the skins of fifteen intact sables would bring a fortune that ordinary mountain dwellers would find difficult to earn in their lifetimes working hard on the land.

“Uncle Du, how is it? It looks like normal, right?” Yue Feng asked with a smile.

“That’s right! It’s obvious that these minks are no longer afraid of humans! It looks like they have been raised for a while, right?”

“Yes! The big one was caught on the mountain near my grandma’s house in Lincheng, and a few were caught recently on our back mountain!

It is easier to catch an eagle alive with a trap, but if you use a gun or something like that, there is no way to catch it alive and well!
The deer is kept in the pen above the thatched cottage at the back. I’ll take you to see it!”

Soon, Yue Feng brought a few people to the deer pen again. Seeing the blind female deer staying there quietly, they had a more intuitive understanding of the capabilities of Yue Feng’s big Black Hawk.

This big black eagle may not look that big, but its abilities are quite scary. Not only can it catch wild boars, it can even catch adult wild deer.

After looking at the minks and deer, Yue Feng went to the yard and inspected the puppies in his home to the leaders.

The leaders were even more surprised when they saw that Canglong and his four wolf-blood hounds were obedient, smart, and could even understand long sentences from their master.

No wonder the young Yue Feng was highly regarded by Master Niu and was introduced to Vice President Zou. With a first-class eagle, a first-class hunting dog, first-class marksmanship and superb psychological quality, Yue Feng is definitely a top hunter.

A few people played with the family dog ​​in the yard for a while, and my mother and others had basically prepared dinner in the kitchen.

The logistics director, Ms. Meng Yulan, came out of the kitchen wearing an apron and asked, “Xiao Feng, dinner is almost ready. Should we eat now or wait until the bear paws are ready?”

After listening to this, Yue Feng looked up at the three leaders who were playing with the hounds and said, “Master, shall we go inside and eat first?”

Zou Zhaoguo and his companion looked at each other and nodded: “Since everything is ready, let’s eat! I’m still curious about what you can come up with that is better than the state banquet Maotai!”

“Hey, let me keep you in suspense for a while! This thing is rare, I got it by chance by luck, it’s not easy to get it outside! Let’s go inside first!

Xiaowu, run some errands and go to my father-in-law’s house and invite him to come over to have a drink with the old men in the evening!”

Xiaowu: “Okay, okay! I’ll go on!” Xiaowu responded and prepared to leave the house.

At this time, Xiaowen suddenly pulled his brother and said, “I’ll go! Let Xiaowu stay in the west room!”

“also!”

Soon, Xiaowen left home and went straight to the home of the village secretary Wang Jianguo.

According to normal thinking, Yue Feng had distinguished guests at home, so he entertained them at home in the evening. Yue Lei was injured and could not drink too much, so there was nothing wrong with calling his father-in-law, who was the village secretary, over.

But, the situation is very important, and Wang Jianguo also has guests tonight.

When Xiaowen and Xiaotao were returning to the village, they passed by the gate of Wang Jianguo’s house and saw the parked car, so Xiaowen grabbed his brother and went to call for help.

When Xiaowen arrived at Wang Jian’s house, as expected, the kitchen in Wang Jian’s house was also busy.

Xiaowen did not go into the guest’s room when he entered the house, but pushed the door and went into the kitchen.

“Why is Xiaowen here? Is there something wrong?” Zhang Cuilian asked curiously.

“Auntie, are there guests at home? My brother Xiaofeng asked me to call my uncle to accompany the guests at his house!

Three leaders from the city came to have dinner at my brother’s house, leaders from the coal mine, the Mining Bureau, and the Forestry Bureau!” Xiaowen said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuilian frowned slightly. The person who came to her house tonight was one of the leaders in charge of this organized study. In order to invite this leader to her house, Lao Wang had spent a lot of effort.

“Wait a minute, I’ll go talk to your uncle!”

Soon, Zhang Cuilian called out to her husband at the door, and after Wang Jianguo came out, she mentioned him in a low voice.

Now, Wang Jianguo felt a little uncomfortable.

On one side are three big leaders in the city from my brother-in-law’s family, and on the other side is my immediate boss. I am too busy to handle everything!

After hesitating for a second, Wang Jianguo whispered to Xiaowen, “Go and ask Uncle Zhao to come over to entertain the guests first, and tell your brother that I will come over after I finish my work here!”

Xiaowen was also a man who knew what was going on. He nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll go and ask Mr. Zhao first!”

After leaving Wang Jian’s house, Xiaowen immediately ran straight to Uncle Zhao’s house at the entrance of the village.

There are no elders of Yue Feng’s grandfather’s generation left, and they have close contacts with the Zhao family. Uncle Zhao is a worldly-wise and highly respected man, so the family likes to invite him to accompany guests for any occasion, big or small.

When we arrived at Uncle Zhao’s house and briefly talked to him, we found that the old man was eating at home.

When he heard that it was about Xiaofeng’s family, he put down his chopsticks, went into the house to change into decent clothes, and followed Xiaowen to Yuefeng’s house.

In the east and west rooms, the oil lamps and lanterns were all lit. At this moment, the dishes were being served on the kang table. The steaming dishes were on the table, and the fragrance could be smelled in the yard.

As soon as Uncle Zhao entered the room, there was a new round of greetings. After Yue Feng had a general understanding of the situation on his father-in-law’s side, he nodded but said nothing.

There is still a long way to go. It doesn’t matter if it’s not a coincidence today. It is definitely a solemn act to invite Uncle Zhao to come and keep us company.

When the dishes were almost served, Yue Feng went to the top of the kang cabinet in the west room and brought down the large glass bottle containing leopard bone wine.

“Let’s try this tonight!” Yue Feng put the big wine bottle on the edge of the kang, and several leaders looked at him curiously.

“What kind of wine is this? How come it still has some flesh and blood in it?” Xiaoliang, an old wine lover, took a look at the wine in the bottle, his forehead full of question marks.

They have seen and drunk wine made from deer penis, ginseng, deer antlers, etc., and they have them at home.

But what is this bone with a little fascia in the wine bottle? Several people are a little unsure.
