Chapter 494: Casting stones to ask for directions
“Are you afraid that Jun will abandon us and go it alone after he finds out that pearls can be taken from the swan’s crop?”

Xiao Tao said in a low voice after listening to Yue Feng’s concerns.

Yue Feng nodded without hesitation: “Yes! In today’s society, if you want to hunt swans, you don’t necessarily have to use falcons.

To exaggerate a little, airplanes, cannons, and high-precision rifles can all kill this swan. It’s just a matter of cost and whether it’s worth it.

If it is indeed something of inestimable value, and we do not have equal value, we will not be able to participate in the distribution of benefits, and we can only watch helplessly as this opportunity is lost!”

After listening to Yue Feng’s additional explanation, Xiao Tao scratched his head and said, “It’s definitely not possible with planes or cannons, but using a precision rifle to shoot this thing seems difficult!
Didn’t you notice that the whooper swans fly very high during migration, even above some clouds!
I feel that using a gun is reliable against common low-flying geese, but there is no hope for this thing!

As for the risk of us being eliminated after telling Brother Jun, I don’t think it’s that serious!
If Brother Jun was that kind of person, when we caught the top-quality mutated white sable earlier, we could have used some tricks to get it. The same goes for the big black eagle at home.

He didn’t even use any tricks on that big tiger! Anyway, I personally think it’s unlikely!
Besides, the fact that there are Dongzhu pearls in the swan’s crop is just that we caught a swan and accidentally got the Dongzhu pearls inside!

What is the probability that a swan can carry a pearl in its crop? There may be dozens of swans, but not even one of them may have a pearl!

From this perspective, it is not worth spending so much energy on this!

On the contrary, to cooperate with us, all he needs is a connection, which is the easiest and most convenient for him.”

After listening to Xiao Tao’s opinion, Yue Feng nodded slightly and rubbed his temple.

What Xiao Tao said made sense. This was definitely a probabilistic event. It was possible that a rare swan had a northern pearl in its crop, and the Yue Feng brothers might have come across it by accident.

Ye Jianjun already has his own job and side job, but just to feel more relaxed at work, he took the lead in this raptor-scaring bird-scaring business.

It is highly likely that he will not spend huge amounts of energy betting on an illusory probability, unless the expected benefit of this thing reaches a certain level.

Yue Feng pondered for a while and nodded: “You are right! Falconry is our specialty, but he is not! From this point of view, we have to cooperate with Brother Jun!

Well, let’s go find him and test him. Don’t say a word during the whole process. Let me show you how to do it!”

“What are you going to do?”

Yue Feng glanced at the three northern pearls in his palm, wrapped the two better quality ones in toilet paper and put them in the compartment of his hunting bag, leaving the one that was slightly smaller and not too round.

“Three become one, let Jun find someone knowledgeable to research it, let’s try it out!
As for the matter of pearls in the swan’s crop, just tell him directly!” Yue Feng said with a firm look after making up his mind.

“That’s fine. At the very least, we still have two Northern Pearls in our hands. When you marry my sister-in-law, we can find a craftsman to set them up properly and make a necklace for my sister-in-law to wear!”

Xiao Tao stood firmly on Yue Feng’s side and even figured out what the big pearl would be used for.

“Let’s go find Brother Jun!”

The two brothers made up their minds, locked the door and went straight to the administrative district office where Ye Jianjun worked.

Today, because our superiors are here to do a practical evaluation of the project, the office area is very busy. The big boss is definitely accompanying the people from above, and Jun Ge is also on standby at the unit, so he doesn’t dare to run around secretly.

When the Yuefeng brothers arrived at the office, Brother Jun was drinking tea in the room.

Bang Bang Bang!
Get in!

Yue Feng pushed the door open and took a look. Ye Jianjun was slightly stunned: “Why are you two here? Come in!”

Yue Feng and Xiao Tao walked in and sat down on the chairs, grinning and saying, “We just finished the on-site test and evaluation, and we let the big Puya fly for a while, and then we accidentally got something good. What do you think this is?”

While speaking, Yue Feng stretched out his hand and opened his palm, revealing a pearl with a very distinctive color.

“Hey! This is a pearl. Where did you two get it?” Brother Jun looked down with a puzzled look on his face.

“During training, Da Puya lost control and chased the swans in the sky. Fortunately, he shot down one and my brother and I took it back to our residence.

This pearl was cut out from the crop of a swan!

I remember my grandfather once told me when I was a child that in ancient times, the pearls taken out of the swan’s crop were called northern pearls, which were a very precious jewel.

In order to obtain it, Liao and Jin forced the Jurchens to offer tribute to the Saker Falcon every year in order to hunt the swan and obtain the Northern Pearl.

Jun, do you have any friends in this field? Can you help me contact them and ask them? “

After hearing Yue Feng’s explanation of the origin of pearls and the historical stories behind them, Jun Ge’s originally relaxed demeanor immediately became serious.

“This… Wait a minute, I’ll ask someone! Is the Beizhu as weird as it’s said to be?”

While talking, Brother Jun picked up the phone at the desk and made several calls in succession in front of the Yuefeng brothers.

From the few words, Yue Feng could tell that many of the people that Jun Ge was looking for were bigwigs in precious jewelry, but when it came to Beizhu, the answers they gave were not very optimistic. It was said that something that had long been extinct was not circulated in the market, so naturally few people knew about it.

However, after making a few phone calls and asking a lot of people, Jun Ge contacted a professor who was doing relevant historical research at the university through a friend.

After the other party had a general understanding of the situation, he asked Jun Ge a few more questions about the appearance, texture, color, etc. of the Dongzhu. After hearing the answers, he was very excited and immediately decided to come over as soon as possible to see the real thing in person.

After talking on the phone for nearly half an hour, Brother Jun put down the phone with a serious look on his face.

“Where’s the Whooper Swan? Where is he now? Maybe there’s something going on with this Dongzhu!!”

Yue Feng replied: “I haven’t finished packing at the guesthouse yet. Xiao Tao and I came to find you after discussing it!”

“Let’s go take a look first!”

“it is good!”

The three brothers left the office area and went straight to the dormitory of the guesthouse.

In a large tin basin in the room, a whooper swan weighing at least ten pounds had its feathers plucked out and its belly ripped open, now soaking naked in blood.

Now, Jun Ge has verified everything. The two brothers are telling the truth, not making up stories at all.

Even if you want to trick people, you can’t buy such a big swan even if you have money! Now is the autumn season when migratory birds migrate south, and everything is in place.

“Professor Wang said on the phone that if this Dongzhu is real, it is priceless!

Now in the National Museum of Beijing, there are still genuine oriental pearls handed down from the Qing Dynasty royal family, but hundreds of years have passed, and the luster of the antique oriental pearls has faded, and they have been eroded by time! “

Yue Feng’s eyes lit up after hearing the introduction: “Priceless?? Is that true?! How much can it be worth? If it’s suitable, let’s sell it!!

We have an eagle in our hands, and now is the season when the swans migrate south after the fall. If this pearl can be sold at a high price, I will go home and get the big black eagle!

You can catch dozens of swans in one autumn, and if you can find a few pearls, you will be rich!”

Junge shook his head after hearing this and said, “Wait a minute, Professor Wang said we’ll set off immediately and arrive by tomorrow afternoon at the latest!

He is an expert in Liao and Jin history research and has done extensive research on this mysterious Eastern Pearl. If he can confirm that this is indeed an extinct Eastern Pearl, it won’t be too late for us to make follow-up arrangements!”

“What if it is confirmed to be a genuine Dongzhu, does Brother Jun have any good sales plan? Look at this pearl, the quality is quite good!” Yue Feng continued to ask.

“If you can confirm that it is a Dongzhu, then you won’t have to worry about selling it. I’ll help you spread the word in the circle. Scarcity makes things valuable. Some of them are willing to be collected by dignitaries, scholars and wealthy people!”

“That’s great! If this thing can be sold, I’ll give you half of the profits!!”

“You are willing to give half right away?” Brother Jun was quite surprised at Yue Feng’s dividend ratio.

Yue Feng grinned: “We two brothers know our own weight. It was originally a windfall, so we have to count it as it is. It just so happens that we have a big black eagle at home. If we can have a chance to get a few more, it can be considered a way to generate income in the long run!”

“Okay, no matter whether the Dongzhu is real or fake, or whether it’s valuable or cheap, we’ll have swan meat to eat first tonight!! Tsk tsk, this thing is so rare, I’ve never eaten it in my life!”

“Hey, let’s try it. It’s the first time for us two brothers to get married!!”

……

The three brothers studied in their residence for a while, and as it gradually darkened, they carried the cleaned goose and strolled to the canteen, where they asked a familiar chef to prepare the swan feast, which made the three brothers eat till their mouths were full of grease.

Leaving aside the trivial matters, at around four o’clock in the afternoon of the next day, Brother Jun drove a cart with an old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, and went straight to the residence where Yue Feng Xiaotao was staying.

The two brothers were thinking about Dongzhu’s matter, so they stayed in the house all afternoon and didn’t run around. When they heard the noise of the car, they immediately came out to greet it.

“Xiaofeng, Xiaotao, this is Professor Wang Ruifeng whom I told you about. Professor Wang, these are my two younger brothers, Xiaofeng and Xiaotao. We have been invited to the airport to assist in the training of raptors to drive away birds!!”

“Hello, Professor Wang!” Yue Feng immediately greeted him politely.

“Hello! I heard from Jianjun on the way that you two are experts in falcon training. You young people are really promising!” Professor Wang wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked gentle and refined, giving people a very elegant temperament.

“Hehe, thank you for the compliment. It’s just a little bit of my family heritage!! Well, Professor Wang, Brother Jun, let’s go inside!”

“Yes, yes, yes! Let’s go inside and take a look at the Northern Pearl in your hand first!!”

Soon, a group of four people entered the room of the Yue Feng brothers, and Yue Feng took out the bead that he had shown to Jun brother yesterday.

As soon as the bead appeared, Professor Wang’s face suddenly became solemn. He held it in his hand and examined it carefully.
