Chapter 82: Rabbit Hunting Techniques
“Here’s the change, keep it! By the way, the purchase price of the furs and other mountain products you asked about last time has just been increased according to a notice from our superiors. The purchase price has been increased by about 20%, and the price has been unified across the province.
If you have any goods, you can bring them to me for you to check. Currently, the supply and marketing cooperative has a purchase task. Whether it is leather grading or price fluctuation, it is quite suitable! ! “Li Li took the initiative to say.
Hearing the other party say that the purchase price of mountain products has increased, Yue Feng was slightly stunned. This little girl has a very smart brain. She even remembered that he had come to ask about the purchase price of mountain products before!
However, Yue Feng has no shortage of money now. The greyhound skins and yellow leaf skins at home have not dried completely yet, so they cannot be sold immediately. He will wait until they have dried in the shade for a while before selling them when he has a chance.
“I do have some yellow leaves and greyhound bark at home, but they haven’t dried yet. I’ll bring them over to you later!”
“Okay, you’re welcome anytime. My name is Li Li, you can just call me Xiao Li!”
Yue Feng nodded, put the radio he bought into his bag, turned around and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
After Yue Feng walked away, Li Li stared at the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking about.
After Yue Feng bought things from the supply and marketing cooperative, he got on his bicycle and rushed home.
It’s still not too late to go home now and pack up the things to release the eagle. Currently, Ironback Red has caught three rabbits. Yue Feng wants to release the eagle as soon as possible and continue to take care of the three live eagles in the warehouse.
More than twenty minutes later, Yue Feng returned to Xing’an Village.
Yue Lei was not idle at home at the moment. With his right hand wearing a cage sleeve, he helped Yue Feng hold the iron-backed red eagle, and with his left hand wearing a glove, he held the small chicken eagle weighing about one pound and three ounces.
Fortunately, Ironback Red had been trained enough and was squatting obediently in the hands of others, otherwise it would be difficult for one person to handle two eagles.
“Dad! Why are you holding two eagles at the same time? What if one of the big eagles gets killed by the little one?”
After Yue Feng entered the room, he saw his father’s amateurish way of holding the eagle with both hands and felt a little worried.
“Don’t worry, I’ve got both ends of the tether tightly secured, nothing will go wrong! Did you get the ticket to buy the radio?”
Yue Feng patted his bag and said, “Done! Give me the eagle first, and let’s go into the house!”
“it is good!”
Soon Yue Feng came forward and took the eagle from Yue Lei, and tied the eagle to the eagle bar at the door of the north room.
Yue Lei was holding the little chicken hawk in his hand. Because the training had not yet begun, the little chicken hawk was quite frightened at the moment. Its wings drooped and its mouth slightly opened. It looked like an old hen that was almost bitten to death by a weasel, and was extremely terrified.
Yue Feng walked into the house, took off his shoulder bag, and took out the radio he had just bought.
“Semiconductor radio, Da Chunlei, produced by Shanghai Electronics Factory No. 3! Let’s see how it is?” Yue Feng put the radio in front of Yue Lei proudly.
Yue Lei looked around from front to back. He had only heard Li Wentong mention this thing and had seen it once in the village office of the next door village two years ago, but this was the first time in his life that he had actually used it.
In those days, it was not fashionable to have a radio with three turns and one ring for weddings in rural areas. This radio was one of the three turns and one ring, and was a very fashionable household item in rural areas at that time.
“This is the switch, and this is the frequency modulation! Turn this button to change the frequency band…”
Yue Feng carefully taught his father how to use it. With his actual operation, the sound of the radio and television station was soon heard.
Yue Lei was very fond of the radio his son bought for him. The wrinkles between his eyebrows were smoothed out. He followed Yue Feng’s instructions, constantly making fine adjustments and looking for signals with an excited and focused expression.
Yue Feng, who had experienced the era of the Internet information explosion in his previous life, was basically indifferent to the information on the radio. He just held the eagle and looked at his father quietly, his eyes full of tenderness. He was doing the right thing, so that his parents could enjoy happiness, and it would not be in vain to live a second life!
After studying it for a while, Yue Lei became familiar with the operation of the radio. He turned his head and looked at his son: “Are you going out to release hawks today? Your mother has left some food for you in the pot!”
Yue Feng nodded: “The big red eagle was out this morning, right?”
“It’s out, and the food ball is very clean! It came out just after five in the morning! This eagle looks very stable, and doesn’t look like a eagle that has been released just two days ago!” Yue Lei commented very objectively.
Yue Feng grinned: “Hehe, it doesn’t matter who trained you, how can you be unstable? Haha! I’ll eat first, and then go out to catch rabbits!”
“Go ahead! I’m at home with your mom! By the way, are you going to start fiddling with this little chicken hawk today?”
“Well, you should loosen its fur at home first. From today on, stop feeding it. Let it stay up for two nights and start feeding it again after it has had some food to eat!”
“Row!”
……
After making a simple plan, Yue Feng lifted the lid of the pot and started eating. He ate two steamed buns made of 200 grams of flour with the meat oil and pickled vegetables fried by his mother, and then drank a big bowl of corn porridge to sip.
After eating and drinking his fill, he picked up the steamed buns and pickles from his lunch, and used cabbage leaves to wrap food for the eagle. Then he carried the eagle out of the village through a small path.
Today Xiao Tao went up the mountain to fly a kite, and Yue Feng didn’t have an assistant to help him drive the stick, so Yue Feng had to do the job of chasing away the rabbits by himself. He held a thin stick less than one and a half meters long in his hand, and he walked and hammered the stick, always paying attention to any movement around him.
Different from the standard falconer’s method of releasing hawks, Yue Feng was looking for rabbits alone outside the village. He did not walk back and forth blindly, hitting with a thin stick and relying on luck to drive the rabbits out.
In fact, there is a pattern to where rabbits like to hide.
There is a formula for finding rabbits passed down from the older generation.
The base is high, and the base is high. There are grasses in the wormwood and wormwood in the grass. The long ones lie at the ends and the short ones lie in the waist.
The rough explanation in plain words is that in areas with relatively high terrain, rabbits generally like to stay in the lowest place in the area, while in areas with very low terrain, rabbits like to hide in relatively high places in the area.
In places with lots of wormwood, rabbits like to hide in the short grass. In places with few wormwood, rabbits will hide near the few piles of wormwood.
In relatively long flat areas, rabbits like to hide at both ends of the area, while in shorter areas, rabbits like to hide in the middle waist.
Yue Feng has a lot of experience in using eagles to hunt rabbits and chickens, especially in the relatively flat areas around the village. He can see almost everything at a glance, such as where rabbits are more likely to lie and where the rabbits’ escape routes are. Yue Feng knows it all clearly.
This technology cannot be explained in just a few words, but is the result of experience accumulated through long-term actual combat exercises.
The first stop out of the village was the small vegetable garden near where he had gone to Chengying yesterday. It was within a radius of ten miles. This small vegetable garden was a good place. Only three rabbits were caught in the initial stage, so it had great potential.
In fact, Yue Feng was not disappointed. He wandered around the bottom of the ridge on the side of the road for less than a mile and soon chased out the first rabbit of the day.
