Chapter 74: Already made a decision
“You can’t bring or teach someone you don’t trust. If his family has so many children and relatives, do you think he would still bring the two brothers from the Zhang family and the family of our former neighbor Li Wentong to fly hawks together to make money?

It’s all because I was forced by my own people who didn’t know the truth!

There are so many wild animals in the mountains, how many can be caught with just a few eagles? The reason why they dare to sell eagles is that they rely on the fact that selling the eagles will not affect their own income, right?
Anyway, I have already discussed with Xiu Ju that I will buy an eagle for my son Zhou Rui to go up the mountain to catch flying dragons and make money. I have told you the news, you can discuss it with my sister-in-law!”

After Zhou Laosan finished speaking, Zhou Weiguo was also convinced.

Zhou Weiguo had many concerns, but Zhou Jianjun’s analysis was not wrong. The Yue family was the only household in the village, and Yue Feng’s mother, Meng Yulan’s family, was dozens of miles away. There was little contact between relatives, and there were not many helpers who knew each other well to handle this matter together. This gave Zhou Jianjun an opportunity.

“Mother, what do you think?” Zhou Weiguo turned his head and looked at his wife.

Although Zhou Weiguo seems to have the final say outside, the one who is actually in charge at home is his wife Zhang Wenlan.

Zhang Wenlan understood the whole thing and asked, “This eagle is a living creature. What if it refuses to be handled after we buy it? We don’t have anyone in our family who knows how to do this!”

When Zhou Weiguo heard his wife ask this question, he knew that his wife was also moved.

Zhou Jianjun said: “The second kid from the Yue family said that if you really decide to buy it, you can bring it to the mountain and teach it on the spot!

I think that when we buy this eagle, in addition to using it for work, we can also spend money to learn a skill.

When we learn how to use eagles, we can train them ourselves in the future. When we are not busy in autumn and winter, we can organize people to go up the mountain to release eagles and hunt small enclosures. There are many more children in our Zhou family than in the Yue family!”

Now, the last bit of worry is gone.

Zhang Wenlan nodded at Zhou Weiguo, and Zhou Weiguo gritted his teeth and said, “Okay, then buy one for Xiaobao too!”

The two brothers discussed the matter, and that evening, Zhou Jianjun went to Yue Feng’s house again before dark.

In the evening, all the falconers came back, and the Yue family’s falconry rack became even more lively. A row of five kites were lined up, all squatting on the pine bars with their round crops on top, looking very imposing.

Seeing Zhou Jianjun coming again, Yue Feng and his father officially let Zhou Jianjun into the house this time.

After a brief greeting, Zhou Jianjun said that he would bring people to pick and buy hawks tomorrow morning, and he wanted two Harriers!

This result was similar to what Yue Feng expected. Anyway, this thing was not a rare thing for Yue Feng. If one could be sold for 400 yuan, two Eagles would be 800 yuan, which was definitely a huge sum of money at the time.

For the sake of money, Yue Feng and his son naturally agreed. After Zhou Jianguo finished his business, he quickly got up and left.

After Yue Feng sent Zhou Jianguo away and returned to the house, he called all five members of the team together.

“Zhou Jianjun wants to buy our eagles, two Harriers! After the Harriers are sold, there will be a loss of one Eagle. I need to discuss this matter with everyone!” When talking about business, Yue Feng put away his usual cheerful state and looked quite serious.

“Otherwise, my brother and I can fly an eagle first! We have made a lot of money flying eagles with Brother Feng during this period of time!” Without waiting for others to speak, the sensible Xiaowen took the lead in expressing his opinion.

Yue Feng had caught the eagle himself and trained it himself. Xiaowen and Xiaowu did not contribute, so Yue Feng did not need to discuss how to deal with it with anyone. Now, when there are four people on a daily expedition, and there are three eagles left, one of them must give in.

Hearing this, Li Wentong also spoke up: “Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, your family conditions are not so good, so I, as your uncle, will temporarily withdraw!”

Xiao Tao also agreed: “Yes! If one of my family members quits, I can just follow my brother and release the eagle for a few days!”

Seeing several people in the room pushing each other, Yue Feng was very satisfied with everyone’s attitude.

Why does he like to work with honest people? This is the answer. When the team faces issues of interests, everyone will take the initiative to make concessions instead of fighting for them.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost settled, Yue Feng waved his hand and said, “Everyone, don’t rush to give up your place on the mountain. Listen to my thoughts first!
For tomorrow’s Eagle, if two are sold, four people will fly three Eagles. Those who have a bye can rest at home for a day. The big Eagle in my hand has already become an Eagle today. After two more days of fiddling with it, I should be able to fly it smoothly!
After the big eagle is well-adjusted, I will train the chick eagle in the warehouse. Then we will be able to fly our two big eagles and three kites normally for a while!
I estimate that it is a little more difficult to control a chick than a kite, but it is definitely easier to handle than a big eagle. It will be able to work in the fields in about five or six days.

The temperature hasn’t dropped significantly yet, so the kites can still be kept free for a while. But when a cold wave comes and the temperature drops sharply and it snows, the kites will be too thin to catch them!
When the time comes, we will find time to train the two big eagles in the warehouse. No matter what, we will ensure that everyone can fly eagles and make money!”

After hearing Yue Feng’s arrangement, Li Wentong, Xiaowen and Xiaowu all relaxed. It turned out that Yue Feng had a backup plan.

At this time, Xiao Tao interrupted again: “Brother, what if Zhou Jianjun brings people here tomorrow to buy that Big Blue Harrier?
The other kites all work about the same, with the brave old fool being slightly better, but the big blue kite is really good at its job, it won’t lose half the chickens even if it’s out for a whole day!”

Yue Feng grinned: “Don’t worry, I know what’s going on! The Zhou family is very suspicious, I know how to deal with them! Tomorrow morning, don’t talk nonsense, just listen to me!”

After a brief discussion, the arrangements for the next period of time were finalized. Everyone handed over today’s accounts at Yue Feng’s house and went home to rest early.

As for Yue Feng, he still couldn’t sleep tonight.

The Ironback Red had just been released, and the adult eagle had filled its crop during the day. I couldn’t be lazy in raising the eagle at night, otherwise, when I went out to raise the eagle in the morning, the eagle’s condition would not be safe. If it drifted away again, all my efforts would be in vain.

According to the old rules, Yue Lei would fly the hawk until one o’clock, and his son Yue Feng would take over in the second half of the night, flying the hawk from one o’clock until dawn.

Yesterday evening Zhou Jianjun and the Yue family agreed to come and buy the eagle at around nine o’clock in the morning, so Yue Feng didn’t wait at home all the time. At six o’clock, Xiao Tao arrived at the door of Yue Feng’s house on time, carrying a satchel and a quliu stick. The two brothers exchanged glances and left.

The destination was still near the small vegetable garden. Yue Feng held the eagle and took Xiao Tao along the edge of the field slowly.

Chapter 2. I will not update it at night. I will save the draft temporarily and check the reading data in the background. If it doesn’t work, I will update it after it is put on the shelves. I don’t understand the rules of the platform’s new book period, but I have suffered a lot. Please forgive me. When it is put on the shelves, I will give it a good burst of time for everyone to enjoy it.
