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

Chapter 701 Falconry Culture and Folk Customs Project

Seeing this, Yue Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Before the full moon celebration, Yue Feng spoke with Wang Hu on the phone. During the call, Wang Hu only said that he would definitely be there, without mentioning that the old man would also be there!

With everyone already at the door, there was no time for small talk. Yue Feng greeted the others and immediately went to greet them at the door.

"Godfather! Brother Tiger! Your arrival makes our humble courtyard shine!" Yue Feng greeted them.

Old Master Wang looked up at Yue Feng and said with a smile, "Last time you got married, I was delayed by something and couldn't come to the wedding banquet. This time I happened to be here for a meeting, so I came with Xiao Hu!"
Becoming a father has definitely changed my energy and spirit!

Yue Feng scratched his head: "Hehe, you don't know the gratitude you owe your parents until you raise a child yourself. This little guy is so naughty, he cries out in the middle of the night if he's not feeling well!"

"Come on, let's go inside and see our godson. I want to see how that kid, who's giving his dad a headache, is doing!"

Soon, Old Master Wang and Yue Feng entered the house.

Wang Hu, who was standing next to him, glanced at the place where the gift ledger was kept, and walked over with a bag slung over his shoulder.

"Wang Hu from the Wang family of Beijing is contributing ten thousand yuan as a token of his appreciation!"

Well, the thick stack of banknotes on the table hadn't even been sorted out yet, and now there are ten more stacks of ten-yuan notes!
Yue Feng led the old man of the Wang family into the house, and soon carried the baby in swaddling clothes from the inner room to the living room.

It's strange, but this troublesome little guy likes to sleep after he's had his milk, and he'll start wailing without warning at the slightest noise, like a thunderclap that doesn't actually fall.

But today, when I met Old Master Wang for the first time, instead of crying, I burst into laughter at the old man.

Grandpa Wang skillfully picked up the child and glanced at him: "He's not as naughty as you say. He's quite easy to soothe. Have you named him yet? What's his name?"

Yue Feng replied, "I haven't chosen a formal name yet, my nickname is Kaixin!"

"Kaixin? That's a great name! Happy and carefree!"

Upon hearing the name, the old man held the child and nodded repeatedly, quite satisfied with the nickname.

"Perfect timing! You're Grandpa Kaixin! Can you give me a proper name?" Yue Feng seized the opportunity and asked the old man to name him.

Upon hearing this request, the old man of the Wang family was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "Let me think, does your Yue family's genealogy have generational names?!"

Yue Feng shook his head: "There should be some back in my hometown, but my grandfather came to Northeast China from the Guandong region and passed away very early. Since my father's generation, there has been no generational naming system!"

The old man nodded, then paced back and forth in the room for half a circle while holding the child. He stopped and said, "Xiao Hu's son's full name is Wang Guochang. Kaixin is of the same generation as Guochang, so let's call him Guohao! How about Yue Guohao?"

Hearing the name Guohao, Yue Feng felt a little strange.

The old man, being from an older generation with limited education, would inevitably choose names that reflect the current stage of society and the historical context.

Judging by the aesthetic standards of 2020 and beyond, this name is only so-so.

However, an important point is that the old man ranked his godson and his biological grandson together.

They're both from the "Guo" generation, which is definitely a sign of closeness.

At this point, it's not good to have any other opinions. If it were anyone else, they would be overjoyed to have the old man of the Wang family name them, even if it was just "Dog Egg".

"A prosperous nation makes its people proud! Guohao, what a great name!!" Yue Feng nodded repeatedly, and quickly decided on the name for Kaixin.

The old man was quite pleased to see Yue Feng confirm it without hesitation: "Haha, then it's settled!"

When the little guy grows up and comes to study in the capital with his brother, he'll take care of everything at home!

This promise is very important, which means that, thanks to Yue Feng's efforts, Xiao Kaixin, who is only a month old, has already secured the powerful backing of the Wang family in Beijing.

"Hehe, okay! I'll do whatever you say!"

……

The old man held the child affectionately for a while, then quickly had Yue Feng put the child back in the inner room.

When the old man from the Wang family arrived, many of the guests who were originally in the house became noticeably more uneasy.

After all, they're several levels apart in terms of status, so it's hard to find an opportunity to strike up a conversation.

The old man knew the atmosphere in this setting was a bit awkward, so after staying in the room for about half an hour, he said goodbye to Yue Feng and prepared to leave.

Since we're already here, we definitely can't let the old man leave.

Yue Feng quickly called out to Brother Hu, and asked Xiao Tao to lead the way on his bicycle to the Fengcheng Grand Hotel.

Today's full moon celebration is being held at a restaurant to entertain guests from outside, while the village banquets are being held at the village office, the father-in-law's house, and the old house. We have to take care of both.

After seeing off Old Master Wang, Jinlong and Ye Jianjun finally came over.

"All arranged? Even Old Master Wang is here, you've got a lot of influence!" Ye Jianjun teased in a low voice.

Yue Feng curled his lip: "It's not that I have a lot of face, it's that your nephew has a lot of face! The old man gave Kaixin a grand name, Yue Guohao! The country prospers, and the people are proud!"

Jinlong nodded calmly upon hearing this: "The meaning is good!"

Xiao Hu's son is named Wang Guochang, isn't he? That's a name with "Guo" in it; he's got a bright future ahead of him!!

In the eyes of these important figures, the difference between a godson and a godson is significant.

From the moment the old man named the little guy Guohao, he was practically a member of the Wang family. As long as Yuefeng doesn't mess things up and keeps moving around normally, the little guy's future is bright!

……

After chatting for a while, more guests arrived. Yue Feng greeted them and went to meet them again, exchanging pleasantries once more.

When you're out in the world, you can't avoid these kinds of situations. You have to take care of one group of guests after another, and Yue Feng is so busy that he can't stop for a moment.

Fortunately, it was almost lunchtime, so after greeting everyone, all the friends and guests from outside headed straight to Fengcheng Hotel.

The Fengcheng Hotel now looks noticeably different from when it first opened.

Today we're having a one-month celebration for my nephew. The restaurant isn't open for business; all the private rooms and tables in the main hall are full of guests who came to offer their congratulations.

Yue Feng specifically instructed Xiao Tao to arrange for the Wang family patriarch to stay in the private room number one in the north wing, and then also arranged for Ye Jianjun, Ye Xiaojun, and Jin Long to stay there as well.

In addition, Grandpa Du from the Forestry Bureau, and the director and deputy director of the Mining Bureau were also deliberately arranged to work here.

Normally, if these local leaders wanted to get in touch with someone of the Wang family patriarch's stature, they would have to go through several roundabout routes.

Now, because Yue Feng is celebrating the baby's one-month birthday, this rare opportunity has come out of nowhere.

It's hard to say how much of an effect it will have, but it will definitely help Yue Feng raise his 'status' in front of local leaders.

Yue Feng was busy arranging staff to greet guests in the hotel lobby until after midnight. After all the guests had been coordinated, Yue Feng carried a generous plate of boiled pork into private room number one.

"I'm so sorry for the poor hospitality; we just finished working outside!" Yue Feng brought the dishes into the house, apologizing repeatedly. "Xiao Feng, are you done? Sit down! We've just started too!"

The old man greeted us in a very approachable tone, as if he were addressing his own child.

In contrast, the atmosphere in the private room was somewhat cramped.

These contestants, who are usually considered leaders in their own right, seemed somewhat intimidated by the old man's imposing presence. They could only sit with their buttocks halfway down in their chairs, and their backs were ramrod straight.

"Godfather, those sitting in this room are all my relatives and friends. They've helped me a lot over the years. Let me introduce them briefly. This is..."

Yue Feng, not shy at all on his own turf, introduced everyone in turn, with particular emphasis on the leaders.

With Yue Feng, one of the parties involved, cracking jokes, the atmosphere in the room improved significantly.

In private interactions, the old man was very approachable. Because of his previous position in the Military Control Commission, he was relatively familiar with the leadership in Fengcheng. He would occasionally mention a name that both sides knew, quickly building rapport.

After a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the room became noticeably warmer.

None of those who become leaders are fools; they're all incredibly shrewd and clever.

Taking advantage of today's opportunity, everyone tried to find suitable topics to toast and interact with the old man, just to get acquainted with him first.

In this atmosphere, Yue Feng served drinks, food, and other necessities, taking care of the entire situation meticulously.

The meal was a bit tiring, but the old man was extremely satisfied with the restaurant's signature dishes.

The old man especially praised the main dish, boiled pork belly, which was the highlight of the meal.

Taking the opportunity, Yue Feng mentioned that he had leased a large area of ​​forest on the mountain to raise special wild boars and produce this high-quality pork. This news greatly interested Uncle Du from the Forestry Bureau and several acquaintances.

……

At 1:30 p.m., the banquet was coming to an end. The old man left early, and Yue Feng saw him off to his car before returning home.

After the distinguished guest left, the atmosphere in the room became noticeably more relaxed.

Yue Feng raised his glass, and a new round of battle began!

Unsurprisingly, Yue Feng blacked out again at the full moon celebration that day.

I don't know how I got home. When I woke up, it was already past 10 p.m. I was lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the old house in Xing'an Village.

Yue Feng rubbed his forehead and got up from the kang (a heated brick bed). Instead of getting up immediately, he carefully recalled what had happened that afternoon.

My last memory is of the banquet ending in room number one, and then being called over by a guest from room number three to offer a toast. After that, I don't know anything.

After sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) for a while, Yue Feng got off, put on his shoes, greeted his parents who were already lying down to rest, and then left the old house with his clothes on, returning to his own home.

The bustling scene at the new house has returned to calm, except for the kitchen, storeroom, and storage room, which now contain many scarce supplies.

Wang Xiaona, who has a baby, is a light sleeper, so she turned on the light in the room when she heard a noise.

"Honey, you're awake! Are you hungry? Mom left some food for you in the pot!"

Yue Feng scratched his head: "Not hungry! I drank too much at noon and blacked out when I woke up! Did I tell you about my godfather naming our kid? Kaixin's full name is Yue Guohao!"

"Yue Guohao? That's a good name!" Wang Xiaona was quite satisfied with the name.

“He’s the same generation as Tiger Brother’s son, Guochang! The old man said that when the child is older, he can go to school in Beijing, and the family there will take care of everything!”

"Huh? You're going to study in the capital, not back in your hometown?"

Wang Xiaona was a little surprised by this information, after all, she was born and raised in Northeast China and had a strong attachment to her hometown.

“The capital is definitely much better than our mountain village in every way! Since the old man has asked, we have to accept his kindness! Others would be begging for it!”
Besides, we've already bought a house in the capital, so you can bring the kids over to accompany them while they study. It'll be good for Kaixin's future development!
Don't be too nervous now, it's at least four or five years from now!

After Yue Feng's clear and concise explanation, Wang Xiaona realized what a great opportunity this was for her son.

Having attended school in the capital since childhood, with the Wang family as a powerful backing, his future was limitless.

“Okay, I’ll do whatever you say!” Wang Xiaona nodded.

"Wow!~~" Before the couple could even exchange a few words, the little guy woke up at the sound and started wailing again.

Yue Feng quickly went over, picked up his precious son, and patted him to sleep until things finally calmed down.

……

Over the next few days, Yue Feng's home returned to a state of relative quiet.

The Ye brothers and the three Jinlong brothers spent a few days in Northeast China.

Yue Feng took them for a walk in the mountains, and then specially hunted a wild boar with yellow spiky husks to bring back for them.

Time flies, and another ten days or so have passed.

During this period, Yue Feng announced new purchase and sales tasks through a loudspeaker, mobilizing villagers to collect the roots of Polygonatum sibiricum and buy them back at high prices. After sorting and sterilizing them in the backyard of the village's purchase and sales point, they were planted on the planned plots of land in the enclosed breeding area.

Relying solely on the natural reproduction rate of Polygonatum is too slow. To increase the production of wild boar meat in a standardized and large-scale manner, it is crucial to expand the growing area of ​​Polygonatum in the loess soil of the mountains.

Having gained experience in organizing villagers to work and earn money, Yue Feng is no longer hesitant. By assigning tasks and arranging personnel, he can completely relinquish his responsibilities.

More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The leaves in the woods were rustling as the late summer heat subsided and the temperature gradually dropped. Frost had already begun to fall in the mornings and evenings.

That day, Yue Feng had just returned from delivering supplies to the farm on the mountain early in the morning when he received a call from Ye Jianjun.

"Xiaofeng, get ready! My dad asked a friend to help you find a chance to get some exposure!"

"A chance to show your face? What's going on?"

Upon hearing this news, Yue Feng was slightly taken aback. It was arranged by Jianjun's father, so the level of this position was quite high.

"It's a documentary about traditional falconry culture being filmed on CCTV's side! They allocated special funds for it!"
If all goes well, traditional falconry has a high chance of becoming a folk culture-related project in the future!

"Eagle hunting folk culture project??" Upon hearing these familiar words, Yue Feng's heart began to pound wildly.

There is no concept of intangible cultural heritage yet. In Yue Feng's memory, the concept of intangible cultural heritage seems to have appeared after 2000.

However, the traditional falconry culture has existed since ancient times and has never been interrupted!

There are various policies and cultures regarding birds of prey abroad, but China's formal development started much later, which is directly related to the country's circumstances.

If this rare opportunity can be used to promote this matter from a policy perspective, it would be an enormous achievement for Yue Feng, who has a cheat code for being reborn! (End of Chapter)
