Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Chapter 513 Insights

For those nine small northern pearls of different sizes, Brother Jun finally offered a high price of 49,000 yuan.

Ordinary small-sized centimeter beads are not valuable. The largest of the nine beads is priced at 20,000 yuan, the golden centimeter bead is priced at 15,000 yuan, and the remaining seven ordinary centimeter beads are priced at 2,000 yuan each.

After deducting the agreed 20% per share given to Ye Jianjun, Yue Feng actually received 39,200 yuan.

Adding the 20,000 yuan in cash he brought back from his home last time, the total amount he earned from selling Northern Pearls was 59,200 yuan.

After discussing with Xiao Tao, Yue Feng decided to give 5% to the brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu, who stayed at home to take care of tasks such as flying hawks, delivering goods, looking after the house, and delivering supplies up the mountain.

There’s nothing wrong with not giving the money, but since they are a team, staying at home to look after the house is also a contribution to the team’s development. It’s not wrong for Yue Feng and Xiao Tao to eat the meat and the Zhang brothers to drink the soup.

Seeing the big bundle of rabbits placed on the edge of the kang, the Zhang brothers looked at each other and saw deep surprise in each other’s eyes.

“Brother, what did you do when you went out to earn so much money?
Didn’t you and Xiao Tao go to teach the soldiers at the airport how to train eagles? Even if they were paid more, it wouldn’t be this much, right?”

Xiaowen was still calm and looked up and asked.

Yue Feng did not keep him in suspense: “The labor fee paid by the airport is not much per month, I will not share it with you, Xiao Tao and I each got about 100 yuan, and we kept the rest!
This money is what Xiao Tao and I earned by releasing eagles and catching swans at the stall by Songjiang River!

On the way back, I discussed with Xiao Tao that although you and Xiao Wu had no part in the money, you were in charge of the rear area at home, so logically you should get a share of the profits!
I won’t give you more than that. You two brothers, each take 5%, which is considered as extra profit for looking after the house!!”

Even though it’s only 5%, it’s still 500 yuan out of 10,000 yuan, which is a huge sum of nearly 50,000 yuan. If it is divided among the two brothers of the Zhang family, each of them can get more than 2,000 yuan.

It is better to follow the right people than to do the right thing. With a big brother like Yue Feng and brothers following him, how can life not be good?

“so much……”

After hearing the 5 percent, Xiaowu counted on his fingers and swallowed his saliva.

Yue Feng looked at his brother and curled his lips: “You bastard, show your style, don’t you want it? If you don’t want it, I can save it!”

“Hey, no, no, no! No!! If I want it, why shouldn’t I want it? My big brother gave it to me, why shouldn’t I want it?!” Xiaowu waved his hands repeatedly and grinned.

“Is catching a swan so valuable? Then why do we go up to the mountain to hunt? Don’t eat the swan in the outer room, we can keep it and sell it for money!”

Xiaowen was not too surprised by the profit share given by his eldest brother. After all, Yue Feng had never treated them unfairly since he took them in.

Yue Feng waved his hand and said: “What is valuable is not the swan, but the pearls that may exist in the swan’s crop!
Brother Jun found an expert to study this thing. In the past, it was a high-end item that only the royal family could use. Xiao Tao and I were lucky. We caught a few pearls of good and bad quality among the swans we caught!”

Xiao Wen nodded after hearing this: “Oh! That’s fine too!

If you ever go catching swans and picking pearls, take us along! This is more profitable than delivering chicks to the second canteen!”

Yue Feng grinned: “There is only a few days of window period when the swans migrate in autumn. Sometimes it is normal to not get any fish even if you wait for a whole day. We can wait and see next autumn if there is a chance!

By the way, during the time Xiao Tao and I were away, everything was normal at home, in the village, and at the farm on the mountain, right?”

“Everything is normal at home and in the mountains, but something happened in the village a few days ago!” Xiaowu said in a deep voice.

“What’s wrong? Who is doing something weird again?” Yue Feng asked curiously.

Xiaowen said: “Wang Xiaonian and Zhu Erhai followed Zhou Yuanchao to the mountain to hunt bears. Zhu Erhai was scratched by a blind bear!!”

“Huh? That troublesome Zhu Erhai followed me up the mountain to show off again? What’s the situation? Is it serious?”

Yue Feng was not surprised to hear the news. This tiger bastard had no respect for the mountains and forests at all and had been in danger more than once before.

I got some money from the game and bought a few good dogs and a barrel gun. I lived in it unsteadily and developed well. Last time, I was so bold as to take a close-up photo of a big tiger.

As a result, all the property I had saved with great difficulty was lost, and I became a “three-no person” again. I spent most of the first half of the year at home, and now that I have strengthened myself, I have started a new round of challenges.

“This incident is a bit mysterious. Xiaowu and I were discussing it at home. It feels a bit weird!” Xiaowen said.

“Ok?”

Yue Feng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and his brain immediately started thinking at high speed.

Zhou Yuanchao, Zhu Erhai, Wang Xiaonian?
These people went up the mountain together, and in the end Zhu Erhai was injured and almost kicked by the blind bear.

Then I thought about how Zhu Erhai once teamed up with the little fox to play cards with Zhou Xiaobao and Wang Musheng at Xiaowen’s house.

Based on Yue Feng’s understanding of Zhou Yuanchao’s temperament and character, even if Xiaowen did not add any details, he could already taste the hint of conspiracy in this matter.

Xiaowen said slowly, “Zhou Yuanchao was brought here by Zhu Erhai and Wang Xiaonian.

Xiaonian went up the mountain with his grandfather to pick pine cones and found a big blind bear that was gaining weight in autumn.

Then they decided to find Zhou Yuanchao as a gunman to fight the bear!

Then Zhou Yuanchao lost his grip, and Zhu Erhai didn’t escape and was scratched by the blind bear. His back was scratched and his left hand was bitten through! “

“What about that bear? Did you finally kill it? How long ago was it?”

Yue Feng nodded after hearing this and did not continue to dig deeper, but instead asked about the bear. “It happened four days ago! The village has not heard any news about the bear’s whereabouts, so it must have not been captured yet!”

Yue Feng nodded: “It took four days to finish it!
We won’t get involved in this business! Zhou Yuanchao is an evil person, don’t hang around him if you have nothing to do!”

Yue Feng said this, but he was thinking more than that in his heart.

With Zhou Yuanchao’s handle, he played the No. 16 hanging tube very smoothly. In terms of shooting skills alone, he was definitely a master among the hunters in the surrounding villages.

He tried to hit the bear but failed, which resulted in Zhu Erhai being almost kicked. This doesn’t make sense no matter how you look at it.

Maybe Zhou Yuanchao was taking revenge on Zhu Erhai and Hu Xiaoli for setting up a scheme to defraud Zhou Xiaobao of his money.

As for taking the initiative to seek help from Zhou Yuanchao, it is easy to explain. Wang Xiaonian also got involved. It is very likely that the two of them had privately discussed a routine to trick Zhu Erhai.

After all, in his previous life, Wang Xiaonian was a player who could abandon even his cousin Wang Junqiang and escape alone at a critical moment.

Now that he has gone up the mountain and found a blind bear, instead of selling it or secretly finding someone to kill the bear to make money, bringing Zhu Erhai along is of no practical use except to get more shares and more possessions. This does not conform to Wang Xiaonian’s selfish behavioral logic.

Yue Feng was not surprised that someone as smart as him would do anything for profit.

“By the way, how are the harvests from the hawking activities conducted by the few people gathered by Uncle Chen every day? Are there any troublemakers?” Yue Feng asked again.

Xiaowen replied: “I didn’t do anything naughty, but there were two mistakes when I was flying the hawks. One time, a kite was damaged, and the other time, the hawk was lost. We found it the next day!

Uncle Chen and I have been keeping an eye on it. We pick up the goods and deliver them to the second canteen at a fixed time every day!”

Such small problems are normal. As long as there is no major loss, Yue Feng will not intervene excessively.

The conventional techniques of training and releasing falcons will surely be gradually passed on to outsiders as the falconry team expands.

Yue Feng had already considered this when he decided to expand the team, but he didn’t care too much about it.

You can earn a few hundred yuan by releasing hawks in the autumn and winter, which is a very good income for ordinary people. But for Yue Feng now, this amount of money is a bit disdainful.

A top-quality Dongzhu can be worth tens of thousands of yuan, and I still have three top-quality Dongzhu that I haven’t sold yet. This is a huge sum of money.

If Yue Feng wants to continue expanding his business empire, the money he has will definitely be enough for a short period of time.

From this perspective, training falcons, releasing falcons, and catching live birds to sell for money have initially completed the historical mission of primitive accumulation, and only exist as a daily guaranteed income for team members.

……

After the brothers divided the money, they chatted for a while on the kang, sharing all the big and small things that had happened recently. The sky gradually darkened.

Jingjing came back from school carrying her schoolbag, and her father Yue Lei also came home carrying a portion of dried tofu.

Yue Feng, his sister and his father were all surprised again.

That night, the main forces of the hunting team all had dinner at home. A whole pot of stewed swan was made directly from it. In addition, there were the prawns, canned food and other rare items that Yue Feng brought back from the air force base. The group of people ate and drank and lived a very comfortable life.

After eating and drinking, the hunting team disbanded and went home. Only parents Jingjing and Wang Xiaona, who had been helping in the kitchen, were left at home.

It is said that a short absence is better than a new marriage. Yue Feng did not have much feeling about this before, but when he came back this time and saw his young wife again, he finally understood what kind of feeling it was.

Yue Feng, who was drunk, took Wang Xiaona to the west room where he slept. After closing the door, he hugged his wife for a long time before releasing the longing he had felt for her during this period.

……

In the next few days, Yue Feng gradually returned to his normal routine at home.

The north wind started to blow on the mountain, and the leaves began to rustle. Many hunters who could not wait any longer began to gather their teams, maintain their guns, and prepare to go up the mountain. However, Yue Feng was not in a hurry at all.

In a few days, Yue Feng took the gifts he brought back and strolled around the second canteen, Lao Zhang’s pole, and Uncle Zhao’s place on the mountain.

The canteen is very stable, and Wang Jianguo has also established a foothold in the town.

If we have to find a place that has seen significant development and changes in the past month, it would be the farm on the mountain.

That day, Yue Feng used a military motorcycle to carry a lot of canned supplies and swan meat stewed by his mother up the mountain.

The gate of the breeding farm was closed. Yue Feng used the spare key to open the door and went to the north room of the farm and waited patiently.

At about ten-thirty in the morning, Uncle Zhao returned with four wolf-blooded dogs and the blind bear named Coil, which was larger than the hound.

My goodness! A small boar weighing 170 to 180 kilograms was bitten by a dog and was covered with wounds and blood, but it was not bled and slaughtered. Instead, it was tied up by its four hooves and carried back by Uncle Zhao.

When they arrived in the yard, Uncle Zhao put the pig down and whistled into the air. Two white spears fell from the sky and landed obediently on the old man’s arms.

Yue Feng stood in the yard and saw this scene. He asked curiously: “Uncle, what kind of style are you wearing? Why did you make a little wild boar look like this!” (End of this chapter)
