Chapter 73 Obsessed
“Of course I’d buy a kite! Although I’m not very good at falconry, I can still catch twenty or thirty birds a day! I can make back my investment in ten days!” Xiao Tao said without hesitation.

“Yes! Ninety-nine percent of the time, they are buying Harriers! We have five Harriers at home, and one is idle every day. If Xiao Tao doesn’t go up the mountain, two will be idle!

From now on, whenever I want to catch regular prey, I will definitely use this Iron-backed Red Eagle, so the Blue Harrier will be free!

We’ll keep the best eagle for ourselves, and then find a way to sell the two worst kites!

By then, not only will we eliminate the inferior eagle, but we can also make a lot of money!”

“But, if we sell the eagle, the Zhou people will come up the mountain to compete with us. What will happen to our wild game sales then? What if our game is affected and the price is lowered, or even squeezed out?
If the skill of falconry is taught to outsiders, we will have no advantage! ” Xiao Tao was still worried.

Yue Feng grinned and said, “Don’t worry, even if we hand over our docile eagle to a novice, he won’t be able to keep it for more than a few days before throwing it away!
These eagles at home need to be taken care of every day. They need to be fed, lowered, and raised in the morning and evening. If I don’t tell you the details of these techniques, how would outsiders know!
The eagle is now in a good condition. It won’t be a big problem if these things slack off for a day or two. I estimate that it won’t take more than three or four days. If the eagle doesn’t adjust well, there will definitely be problems!”

After listening to Yue Feng’s explanation, Yue Lei and Xiao Tao both looked as if they had suddenly understood something.

Yue Feng’s plan was definitely an open conspiracy.

They make use of their knowledge of the habits of falcons and other birds of prey. They can sell you the hawks and teach you the basic techniques of releasing hawks in the mountains.

But how to serve the eagle behind the scenes and how to maintain the affinity between the eagle and the master, these things will not be known by outsiders unless Yue Feng tells them.

After the eagle is bought and released for a few days, it may get lost, run away, get injured, or even die due to poor daily care. Yue Feng will not be held responsible at all. Even if the lawsuit is brought to the capital, Yue Feng will definitely win.

After all, even if you borrow hunting dogs to go up the mountain these days, there are times when you lose the dogs. Dogs are domestic and extremely loyal to their owners.

As for the falcon, even people who don’t understand it know that it is unruly and arrogant by nature. Everything was fine when it was sold to you, but it broke down after you tinkered with it in your hands. You can’t blame the seller for that.

……

On the other side, Zhou Jianjun, who came to inquire about the situation, left Yue Feng’s house and rushed home at almost a jog.

The excuse he made up about a friend in the city wanting to buy an eagle was purely fabricated. The real situation was that he wanted to find a stable and lucrative job for his own family and his second brother’s children.

Even the two brothers Zhang Xiaowen and Zhang Xiaowu from the Zhang family can make money by flying hawks with Yue Feng, so what’s wrong with the Zhou family?
In order to continue the conversation, Zhou Jianjun even took out ten yuan from the money he had already put into his pocket. This was a rare thing for Zhou Jianjun, who was always very calculating and never suffered any loss.

Zhou Jianjun hurried back home and instructed his son Zhou Rui to call his second brother and his family over.

Zhou Jianjun’s second brother is Zhou Weiguo, who is 55 years old this year. He used to be a soldier. After he was discharged, he returned to the village and worked as a carpenter. He has four children, the first three are girls. When Zhou Jianjun was 37 years old, he had a son, Zhou Xiaobao.

Zhou Jianjun had a son in his old age and he was the eldest child in the family, so he doted on his youngest son since he was a child.

When Zhou Weiguo heard that his nephew Zhou Rui was calling people to his house to discuss something important, he took his wife and son to the home of his third son Zhou Jianjun.

“Old Third, what’s going on? Why are you so anxious? I asked Xiao Rui, but he refused to tell me and acted so mysterious!”

After all, Zhou Weiguo was much older than his third brother, so he was much more cautious in his words. Zhou Jianjun motioned his son to close the door, and then said, “I heard a piece of news. Zhang’s Xiaowen and Xiaowu followed the second boy of the Yue family…”

The news that the second son of the Yue family made money by flying hawks and was the first one in the village to buy a bicycle had already spread in the village. A few days ago, the Zhu family went to the Yue family to make trouble and were beaten. These incidents caused a sensation in the village, and Zhou Weiguo had also heard about them.

However, the Zhou family is not the Zhu family. Several of the heads of the family are much more stable than Zhu Jianshe and others. The reason why the Zhou family is quite prestigious in the village is not only because the Zhou family is an old family with many children in the village, but also because the Zhou family members do have real abilities.

The third brother Zhou Jianjun is nicknamed Zhou Danengnai. He is famous in the village for having many friends. The second brother Zhou Weiguo has the skills of a carpenter and is considered a capable man in the surrounding villages.

In other words, his son Zhou Xiaobao planned to join the army, otherwise Zhou Weiguo would definitely have taught his son the carpentry skills.

After Zhou Jianjun told his eldest brother in detail the information about buying the eagle and the approximate accounts that he had found out from Yue Feng’s house, Zhou Weiguo was also quite tempted.

Investing 400 yuan can pay back in just ten days, and you can earn a month’s salary of a city worker by flying hawks in the mountains in one day. No one can resist such temptation.

“Is there something fishy going on here? If it’s so easy to make money, why would they sell the eagle to us?”

Although Zhou Weiguo was moved, he still felt a little resistant in his heart.

After all, four hundred yuan is not a small amount of money. I could have taken out this much money from all my family savings, but my son isn’t married yet, so I have to keep some money for emergencies.

“Hey! This eagle is rare to us, but to the Yue family, it is not rare!

Just when I went to Yue’s house just now, I saw two kites tied to the rack in the yard. The second kid in the Yue family was holding a huge eagle in his hand. When I went there, there was a jumping cat that had just been caught on the ground!

His ancestors had this skill, and he can make money by selling a few trained eagles. Is there anything wrong with that?
Ma Laosan from Fang’an Village sells his trained hunting dogs every year!”

Zhou Jianjun had been completely blinded by interests. Facing his second brother’s questioning, he began to speak for Yue Feng and the others.

Zhou Weiguo frowned and pondered for a while, then shook his head: “No! I still think it’s wrong!
If you want to sell this business that only allows people to make a living within a radius of dozens of miles, it certainly can’t be sold for just a few hundred dollars!
I feel something is wrong!

I still say the same thing, if there is such an opportunity, they will not let outsiders take advantage of it, it will never fall on our heads!”

Zhou Jianjun was amused by his second brother’s caution, and said with a raised corner of his mouth: “Second brother, don’t forget that the Yue family is an outsider. His grandfather came to our Xing’an Village 60 years ago, but the old man died a few years later, leaving only Yue Lei to support the family!

Yue Lei has two sons. The eldest went to the city to work as a worker and ate commercial grain, leaving only the second son, Yue Feng!

We have this skill to make money, we can teach it to our younger generations, but who should his Yue family teach it to?”

One good news and one bad news. The good news is that I received a notification from the backstage yesterday evening that I had entered the third round. The third round of the urban channel is extremely difficult, but we made it. Thank you for your votes and support!!

The bad news is that the reading data in the background has started to drop. I am a little panicked. I don’t know where I went wrong. I changed the plot that everyone thinks is problematic. There is nothing wrong with the plot advancement, but the reading data is dropping. The children are very scared, but I don’t know how to solve this problem. Please, follow the latest chapters every day! This data is very important to me.
