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

Faced with Yue Feng's感慨 (sentiments/reflections), Jin Long remained silent for two seconds before asking in a deep voice, "What date do you plan to go back?"

Yue Feng replied, "Tomorrow or the day after? I've finished all the important business. If I stay any longer, I'll just be flying hawks and having tea with you. My wife is pregnant, and she'll miss me if I'm away for too long!"
There's still a lot to do at home, and I can't leave someone behind for too long!

Upon hearing this, Jinlong knew that Yuefeng's desire to go home could not be delayed any longer, so he suggested, "Then let's stay one more day after tomorrow. I'll help you arrange a sleeper ticket!"

If I'm free tomorrow, I'll try to arrange a meal for everyone, and I'll take you to the station the day after tomorrow!

"Alright! I'll give this rotten thing a couple of days of pampering. If it grows back, I'll let it go so I won't cause you any trouble!" Yue Feng readily agreed.

"Look at what you're saying, feeding an eagle is nothing, I can't handle that! I've almost learned how to handle eaglets, okay!" Jinlong complained irritably.

"Ha ha!"

……

For the next day or so, Yue Feng stayed at home most of the time.

After successfully challenging the giant black magpie, the rotten-feathered pheasant completely lost its fertility.

They are fed two meals a day, each consisting of live sparrows. Once the eagle is full, it leaves the sparrows aside and doesn't lift them up.

The next morning, Yue Feng and Jin Long went out and released another round of pine nuts.

Through hands-on practice and with Yue Feng's detailed instruction, Jinlong's skill in releasing the eaglet has significantly improved.

That evening, Jinlong invited Yuefeng's friends over, and the group had an early farewell dinner.

That night, Yue Feng and Jin Long drank quite a bit of alcohol.

Everyone at the table chatted about tethering the eaglet and loosening the tassel, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

When the meal ended, one unopened bottle of aged Moutai remained on the table. Ye Xiaojun had brought four bottles of this liquor during the meal, drank three, and had one left.

Yue Feng greeted Ye Xiaojun and left the bottle of Moutai behind.

"Young Master Jin, could you do me a favor? After I leave, could you please take this bottle of wine to Uncle Liu's place when you have some free time? I won't bother him with anything else when I go back this time!"

"Just tell him that I'll come back to the capital in the fall, and he can save the little eagle for me so we can go visit him again!" Yue Feng suggested on the spur of the moment.

"Okay, I'll go there later! I'll definitely handle this little matter for you perfectly!" Jinlong knew Yuefeng's character and readily agreed.

……

Nothing happened that night. As soon as it was dawn, Yue Feng got up early and started packing his few belongings.

In just two days, the rotten-haired, chest-wagging cat had eaten its fill and then been left aside without being carried. At this point, it had already regained 70% of its original nature.

When Yue Feng was packing his luggage inside the house, his movements were a little too vigorous, and the little eagle became restless, fidgeting and flapping its wings.

By the time Yue Feng finished packing his luggage, Xiao Ying was also exhausted.

Yue Feng glanced at the terrified-looking mangy chest, but his attention was quickly drawn to a large tail feather on the ground.

Yue Feng picked up the feather and glanced at it, then gently flattened the eagle in his hand and looked at the eaglet's tail.

Counting from the middle of the tail, at the position of the second tail feather on the side, the rotten feather fell off, and a new feather bud sprouted from the quill.

The eagle was shedding its rotten feathers in his hands, and Yue Feng felt this was a good omen.

"Tsk tsk tsk! You're trying to improve yourself too! Come on, I'll give you your freedom today!"

Yue Feng took a pin from the toolbox on the table, pried open the seal at the reverse end of the eagle's foot strap, and then easily untied the cart from the eagle's claws.

Freed from his restraints, Yue Feng, carrying the little eagle, pushed open the door and entered the courtyard.

After scanning around to make sure there were no problems, Yue Feng tossed the tattered hair high into the air.

Having completely broken free from its restraints and regained its freedom, the wiry-chested creature showed no attachment to its temporary master, soaring high into the air and quickly disappearing from Yue Feng's sight in the courtyard.

"Hehe, keep it up!!"

Yue Feng grinned, muttered something in a voice he could hear, and then turned and went back into the house.

A little while later, around six o'clock in the morning, the housekeeper knocked on Yue Feng's bedroom door.

"Mr. Yue, Mr. Jin instructed that you're leaving today, so I made dumplings for you! Dumplings for the journey, noodles for the arrival, make do with this!"

"Okay, thank you!" Yue Feng thanked him repeatedly and followed him to the restaurant.

Dumplings filled with freshly picked chives, eggs, and dried shrimp are just what Yue Feng likes.

Jinlong, still rubbing his sleepy eyes, got up before they had even finished eating.

"are you full?"

"almost!"

"Your train is at 8:30, you still have time! Xiaojun said he'd see you off together!"

"Alright, whatever's convenient for you!"

After breakfast, Xiao Jun arrived in his car shortly after.

"boarding!"

Yue Feng took out his luggage and put it in the trunk, and then noticed an extra large military green shoulder bag in the back.

Ye Xiaojun, gripping the steering wheel, said, "Take that bag with you when you get out of the car. It's nothing special, just some local specialties to share back home! Consider it a token of the affection between you and the people of the capital!"

"What the heck? You're taking this and eating it all at once?" Yue Feng chuckled as he unzipped the zipper and peeked inside.

Ye Xiaojun smiled and pursed his lips: "What are you saying? You've eaten, but your sister-in-law hasn't, and neither have your grandparents and little sister!"
It's nothing fancy, just some dried fruit, poria cocos cakes, Liubiju pickles, vacuum-packed Peking duck, and stuff like that. Don't eat it all on your way back!

"Hehe, okay! You guys really put in the effort!"

"Hold on tight, we're coming!"

Ye Xiaojun stepped on the gas, and the car quickly started, heading straight for the train station.

After seeing Yue Feng off at the train station, Xiao Jun and Jin Long watched him enter the waiting hall carrying large bags and small packages before leaving.

Next, it was another 30-plus hours on a green-skinned train.

Fortunately, Jinlong arranged a sleeper berth for us, so we ate and slept as usual on the Yuefeng Road, which was quite comfortable.

It wasn't until the evening of the second day that they finally transferred to another vehicle and arrived in Fengcheng.

When Yue Feng got off the train with his luggage, he saw Xiao Tao and the three brothers Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu sitting on a motorcycle tricycle waiting for him on the opposite side of the road.

Yue Feng took a deep breath of his hometown air and waved to his buddies. In his heart, he shouted, "I, Hu Hansan, am back!!"

Xiao Tao, who had been waiting by the roadside for more than an hour, was the first to spot Yue Feng. He immediately got out of the car and strode over, with Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu following closely behind.

"Brother Feng!!" Xiao Tao walked up to him and took the bag from Yue Feng's hand.

"Hehe! One person wasn't enough, why did everyone come! Have you been waiting long?" Yue Feng said with a chuckle. Xiao Wen picked up another package containing local specialties and said in a deep voice, "We haven't been waiting long! Get in the car, let's go to our restaurant first! There's been a little problem!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng was slightly taken aback and asked, "What's going on?"

"A new restaurant has opened not far from our restaurant!"

You've only been in Yanjing for two days, and they've already opened a business there. They've taken a lot of our business away from us during this time.

When we went to deliver the wild game, my older brother said, "When you come back, I'll take you there first so we can figure out how to prepare it!"

"A newly opened restaurant?" Yue Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Xiaowen continued, "It's a newly opened restaurant. Actually, it's a state-owned restaurant that's been reformed, going from being public to private, and reopening. I asked around with a friend, and it seems to be opened by the brother-in-law of the city's second-in-command!"

Hearing this, Yue Feng relaxed: "It's alright, let's go back and talk about it!"

Soon, the two motorcycles started up and headed straight for Yue Feng's restaurant.

This is the time when restaurants are usually packed with customers, but today the business is noticeably sparse.

Yue Feng got out of the car and strode into the hotel lobby.

"Xiaofeng's back!" Sister-in-law Chen Hong saw Yue Feng enter the room and immediately came out from behind the counter to greet him.

"Sister-in-law! Where's my older brother?" Yue Feng nodded and asked casually.

"Your older brother is recovering at home from his injuries. He was beaten up by troublemakers a few days ago and hasn't fully recovered yet!" Chen Hong's smile vanished instantly, and she said in a low voice.

"What the hell? Who caused trouble? Are they badly injured? Why didn't you guys mention this on the way here?"

Yue Feng immediately got angry upon hearing this and turned to look at Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen, and the others.

Currently, in Fengcheng, Yue Feng may not be considered a top-tier force, but it definitely belongs to the group that you'd better not mess with either.

The restaurant had been open for most of last year without any trouble, but after only a few days away, his own brother was beaten up?
"Don't blame Xiao Tao and Xiao Wen. I was afraid they would be too impulsive and cause trouble while you were away, so I didn't tell them!" Chen Hong hurriedly explained.

"How are your injuries? Are they serious?" Yue Feng continued to ask.

Chen Hong replied, "I only needed a few stitches in my head, but otherwise I'm fine! I'll be better in a few days!"

"Do you know the woman who hit you, sister-in-law? What's her name?"

Chen Hong said, "The one leading the group calls himself Luo Dapao from the 'Cleaver Team'!"
I heard from a few acquaintances that this person rose to prominence last year. He had brought people to our restaurant a few times before, and they were always quite proper when it came to eating and paying the bill.

The last time I came here a few days ago, I don't know what happened, but when I was eating and ordering food, I started finding fault with everything. When they served me a fish, I even found some curled hairs in it!
Da Shan handled the complaint and waived the bill, but this guy still wouldn't let it go and demanded compensation from our store. Then he got physical and smashed your brother's bottle!

"Without official authorization?" Yue Feng asked again.

"It just so happened that Old Liu from the local police station was in the north room. He mediated a few words, got the other side to pay for the meal and ten yuan for medical expenses, and then that was the end of it!"

Before Yue Feng could even speak, Xiao Tao, who was standing next to him, immediately exploded upon hearing this.

"Damn it! They're here to sabotage our place! They're asking for trouble, Luo Dapao from the Cleaver Team. Tomorrow I'll find someone to break one of his legs and teach him a lesson about what happens when you mess with someone!"

Yue Feng glanced at the agitated Xiao Tao: "This is the restaurant lobby, what are you yelling about! Besides this, is there anyone else causing trouble in the restaurant?"

"On two other occasions, some thugs got into a fight at the lobby table and broke some dishes!"
Recently, our store's business has been significantly affected, with daily revenue declining considerably!

Yue Feng nodded after listening: "Okay, I understand! I'll have the kitchen prepare some hot food first. After I eat, I'll go see my brother. We'll discuss the rest when I get home!"

"Okay, wait here, I'll go arrange it for you!"

Yue Feng and his three brothers found a table on the side and sat down. Soon, several plates of dishes that were quick to serve and went well with rice were brought over.

The guys hadn't eaten yet, but when the food came out, they started eating and drinking in silence.

After filling his stomach, Yue Feng rode his motorcycle to his older brother's place.

When Yue Feng met his elder brother, he asked Yue Shan about the details of the fight that day and had already formed a preliminary judgment in his mind.

Whether it was the cleaver gang or the petty thugs fighting, it wasn't a coincidence. Nine times out of ten, it was orchestrated by the owner of that newly opened restaurant. Even that peacemaker, Officer Liu, might have been involved intentionally.

Yue Feng stayed at his older brother's house for about an hour, then said goodbye and went home.

I've been on a long trip, and I still haven't gotten home after getting off the train.

While talking with his elder brother, Yue Feng made a preliminary plan to have Xiao Wen, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Tao find out more about Luo Dapao.

It would be best to find all the people who have come to the store to fight and cause trouble recently.

In this day and age, running a restaurant is essentially a matter of making a living through the streets and alleys.

These minor skirmishes are all tests. If we keep avoiding them and don't retaliate, the people stirring up trouble behind the scenes will think we're easy to bully and will definitely escalate their actions.

As the great man said, "A single punch can prevent a hundred more!" We can't back down on this!
After briefly explaining the follow-up matters, Yue Feng and his brothers temporarily parted ways at the village entrance. Yue Feng rode his motorcycle with Xiao Tao back to their new house, while Xiao Tao said goodbye and walked home.

It was almost nine o'clock when I got home. When I heard the motorcycle outside, my dog, Da Huang, started barking wildly.

The main light in the yard was turned on, and Yue Feng pushed open the door to his house.

"Wife, I'm back!" Yue Feng called out softly, carrying several bags of luggage.

"Have you eaten yet? Didn't you say you'd get off the train this evening? Why are you so late?"

Wang Xiaona, supporting her slightly protruding belly, opened the door to the north room to greet them.

"Hehe, something came up and I was a little late! You're heavy, so you don't need to take my luggage, I can carry it myself!"

No matter how angry Yue Feng was outside, he would calm down instantly when he returned home and saw his wife looking at him with concern.

"I've left some food for you in the pot! Come inside and rest for a bit, I'll add some firewood, then you can start cooking!" Wang Xiaona casually turned on the kitchen light in the back.

Hearing his wife say that she had left some food for him in the pot, Yue Feng felt another wave of emotion.

Why do men all want to have their own home?

Having a wife who cares about you means you can always have a hot meal when you come home.

Perhaps, this is the meaning of striving.

Yue Feng didn't stop his wife from starting the fire and heating the food. He took a small stool and sat down at the doorway connecting the main room and the kitchen, watching his wife heat up the food.

"You've been on the train for so long, aren't you tired? What are you looking at? The entrance is all smoky!" Wang Xiaona said gently.

"Hehehe, my wife has become even more beautiful in just a few days! I can't see her when I'm out, so I have to take a good look at her when I get home!" Yue Feng said with a laugh.

"You're always being cheeky! There's still braised pork that Mom made for you in the pot! Knowing you were coming back today, Mom started preparing it at noon!"

Eat something, and once you're full, go for a walk around the old house. Otherwise, Mom won't be able to sleep well tonight!

Yue Feng felt a warmth in his heart: "Okay! I'll listen to you!" (End of Chapter)
