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

"An old friend wants to see me? Who is it??"

Yue Feng scratched his head, momentarily unable to recall who was most likely.

Feng Huanping said with a smile, "Director Xiao is back in Beijing! He just got back late last night. We're free at noon, so let's grab a bite to eat together!"

"Brother Xiao Weimin?" Yue Feng immediately recognized the name Director Xiao.

When Yue Feng first arrived in Beijing, he called Xiao Weimin, but Xiao Weimin was temporarily away on a business trip. So Yue Feng put aside the plan to meet up and have a meal together.

Unexpectedly, Feng Huanping was so resourceful; the other party had just returned late last night and had already arranged to meet up at noon today.

Feng Huanping nodded: "Yes! I contacted him when he was on a business trip out of town, and he told me as soon as he got back!"
"Uncle Liu, Uncle Li, you two are family, why don't you go out for lunch together?"

After saying this, Feng Huanping turned to look at Xiao Ying Liu and Li Fulin.

At their age and with their experience, Lao Liu and Lao Li naturally knew that Feng Huanping's invitation to them was just a polite gesture.

They didn't know Xiao Weimin, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them to go along for a free meal.

"You guys go ahead! I haven't even taken care of the eagle and dog at Old Li's house yet, so I'm not going to join in the fun!" Little Eagle Liu waved his hand, making up an excuse to decline.

“Yes, the eagle and the dog need to be taken care of. We didn’t feed them on time yesterday, and if we do it at different times today, their habits will be affected!” Li Fulin added.

"Well... that's fine! Xiao Yue and I will head over there, and we'll come visit you again later!"

Feng Huanping nodded, turned around and opened the trunk of the car, revealing two unopened cases of Moutai liquor.

"What are you doing?" Grandpa Liu asked, frowning slightly.

"Jianjun asked me to deliver this! He said he promised you and Uncle Li that, and I was just helping out, nothing more!" Feng Huanping explained with a smile.

Yesterday, Li Fulin was whispering to Lao Liu about the champion's reward, and today the good wine has already been delivered.

"Oh, that old man won't stand on ceremony with you! Old Li, lend a hand!"

Grandpa Liu called out and took a case of wine from Feng Huanping, then carried it into the yard first.

Li Fulin didn't stand on ceremony, picked up another box, and followed behind into the yard.

"Shall we go? It's getting late, let's not keep Director Xiao waiting too long, he's a very busy man!" Feng Huanping looked intently at Yue Feng.

Yue Feng nodded: "Okay, the eagle is already fed, it shouldn't be a problem to carry it, right?"

"It's alright, I know the restaurant owner well!"

"it is good!"

……

Soon, Yue Feng got into the car with the eagle on his back.

Watched by Grandpa Liu and Li Fulin, Feng Huanping drove Yue Feng out of the alley, honked the horn, and sped away.

"You mentioned yesterday that you've seen behind-the-scenes footage from many of the documentaries I filmed with Brother Xiao! Brother Feng, you and Director Xiao are quite close, aren't you?" Yue Feng asked casually after getting into the car, without saying a word.

"I guess so! He was a soldier under my father when he was young, and later he transferred to work at the TV station. We've kept in touch all these years!"
When the film crew visited your home, you provided them with food and lodging, and even let them take things with them when they left. Director Xiao spoke highly of you; I rarely hear him praise a young person so highly!

Yue Feng grinned slightly: "These are just some cheap things from the mountains. Only you people who live in the city think these things are precious!"
Director Xiao's professional skills are absolutely top-notch, and we get along very well!
If he weren't so busy with official duties, I would have liked to have him stay at my house a few more days!

"It's not as simple as you make it out to be! You were willing to give away that top-quality white eagle. If that eagle had also participated in the competition yesterday, the final result would have been hard to say!" Feng Huanping said casually as he drove.

"Do you know who that white eagle was given to?" Yue Feng was slightly taken aback when he heard this and asked curiously.

"You'll see Brother Xiao soon, then you can ask him directly! All I can tell you is that this eagle is still in the capital!" Feng Huanping said, keeping everyone in suspense.

"it is good!"

……

The car drove smoothly on the road, making several turns before finally stopping in front of a seemingly secluded house.

There was no sign hanging at the entrance of this house; instead, there was a finely crafted lantern hanging on each of the left and right sides.

"Where is this?" Yue Feng asked curiously, a thought stirring in his mind.

Feng Huanping replied, "It's a restaurant that specializes in home-style cooking! It's quiet here, and it's not as noisy as a restaurant where you can eat and chat! The chef here is quite skilled; you can try it later!"

"Row!"

Soon, the car stopped and the two got out. Yue Feng carried the eagle with one hand and walked side by side with Feng Huanping through the gate. They followed the covered corridor inside and went directly to the private room in the main room of the north building.

To be honest, this unassuming private restaurant is actually quite beautifully decorated inside.

How to describe it? Carved beams and painted rafters, flying eaves and brackets, it has a classic and elegant charm.

Walking along the covered walkway, Yue Feng could sense different charms in every corner he glanced at.

A pot of orchids, a beautiful vase, or a decorative painting on the wall can be placed in the corners of the room, creating a sense of beauty at every glance.

As soon as Yue Feng entered the private room, Xiao Weimin, who had arrived earlier, immediately got up and went to greet him.

"Xiaofeng!"

"Brother Xiao!"

The two brothers embraced warmly, and the gray falcon, which was perched on Yue Feng's arm, almost slipped from his grasp.

"You don't know, as soon as you arrived in Beijing, Xiaoping called me while I was on a business trip, insisting that we have to have a meal together when I get back!"

"Please sit down, please sit down. In the Northeast, you were the host. Now that you're in the capital, you can't pretend. You have to give me and Xiaoping a chance to entertain you!" Xiao Weimin said with a smile.

"Haha, I'm thick-skinned, and I never like to be polite with my own people!"

Yue Feng chuckled, tied the gray falcon to the chair, then removed his sleeves and took off his thick cotton-padded coat.

The room was heated, and the temperature was at least 25 degrees Celsius. Even after taking off my coat, I didn't feel cold.

Seeing that Yue Feng was not at all reserved, Xiao Weimin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Speaking of which, I should thank you! The photos I took at your place last time really made me look good!" Xiao Weimin said happily.

"It had a big impact after it aired! The ratings were alright?"

"It's not just okay, it's incredibly impressive. In the documentary, he jumped straight up and became the absolute leader!"
Many viewers missed the broadcast and even wrote to our office requesting a replay!
Several local channels have also contacted us, wanting to buy broadcasting rights or something!

"That's good! At least I didn't embarrass you!" Yue Feng nodded repeatedly.

"No, no, I really made a big splash! Our station leader even asked me the other day when there would be an opportunity to do a second episode or something!"

In the leader's own words, "This is an excellent topic with a huge audience and a broad base of support, and it has great potential!" "For now, there's nothing worth filming. If we're going to film it, it'll have to wait until next year!" Yue Feng scratched his head, unsure how to respond.

"I heard from Xiaoping that you just held an falconry competition? What do you think about us filming it?" Xiao Weimin continued to ask.

"Take a picture of this? Uh..."

Even with his advanced knowledge and rich experience, Yue Feng was stumped by the question.

The club is still in the early stages of construction, and the opening match has already taken place. The infrastructure is not yet complete, and all subsequent operations are still in the planning and preparation phase. It would be inappropriate to agree to anything rashly.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Xiao Weimin asked curiously, looking into Yue Feng's eyes.

Yue Feng nodded: "The Eagle Hunting Tournament friendly match has indeed just finished, and the process was quite good, rather exciting!"

But there are just too many issues involved here!

"For example?"

"For example, the nature of this falconry club. At this stage, is the footage suitable for broadcast on state-run television stations?"
As you know, this was something I did with the Ye brothers and a few other friends!
If we rush into filming, and it happens to put us in the spotlight, I fear it might arouse suspicion from those with ulterior motives, or even lead to other risks!

After Yue Feng's explanation, Xiao Weimin nodded: "I understand! We're just starting out, and we're afraid people will label us negatively and use this as an excuse to make trouble!"

"Yes! This kind of thing is too sensitive at this stage, it's not appropriate! Besides, I only have a small shareholding, I can't make the decision!"

This matter needs to be decided by Ye Jianjun, the eldest son of the Ye family!

"I understand. I was a bit abrupt and didn't think things through enough!"

"Besides the Falconry Club, what other angles do you think could be used as topics for a documentary?" Xiao Weimin continued to ask.

After a moment's thought, Yue Feng said unhurriedly, "The only thing we've filmed about in Northeast China is the falconry tradition!"

If you want to continue filming falconry, I think you should consider XJ and the snow-covered areas!
As far as I know, the most representative falconry traditions in China are those of Xinjiang, Xinjiang, Northeast China, and the Naxi people of Yunnan!

Especially the golden eagles hunting foxes, wolves, and gazelles in XJXZ are very representative!

"Golden eagle hunting wolves! Tsk tsk, that sounds quite interesting!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Huanping couldn't help but interject, while Xiao Weimin remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

“There are many historical issues that have been overlooked over there. I don’t know if there will be any other obstacles when the report is submitted!” Xiao Weimin sighed.

Yue Feng couldn't respond to this, as it involved a sensitive topic and further discussion would be pointless.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the chat was a bit dull, Yue Feng continued after a few seconds: "If you're not in a hurry, then just wait a little longer!"
Next year, our club will be in its initial stages, and we'll be able to bring various raptors and their combat hunting equipment to Beijing!
In addition, our artificially bred raptors should have their second generation offspring ready in the next year or two, at which point we'll allocate some resources to the club!

"Alright, we'll see when the time comes. We can keep in touch and discuss it further!" Xiao Weimin nodded.

While the three were chatting, the staff started serving the dishes.

To be fair, Yue Feng has been around for so long, and he even owns a restaurant, so he's definitely seen and tasted a lot.

However, the exquisiteness of the dishes that followed still left Yue Feng speechless.

The cold dish is surrounded by...

Crystal duck tongue, braised three whites, amber peach kernels, and sesame sauce mixed kale.

Five hot dishes.

Braised Lion's Head Meatballs with Cattail Shoots in Milk Broth, Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions, Braised Prawns in Oil, Stir-fried Crab Roe, and Braised Three Whites.

A soup dish.

Bamboo fungus and white fungus chicken soup

Two main dishes: silver thread rolls and fried rice with chicken oil.

The last dish was a dessert, almond tofu, to finish the meal.

Each dish has a lot of intricacies involved, from the ingredients to the cooking time and various details, everything is meticulously prepared.

Many of these ingredients aren't particularly precious, but the resulting dishes are incredibly memorable.

Throughout the entire process, Yue Feng appeared very calm, but in his heart he was cursing himself a thousand times for being such a country bumpkin.

Fortunately, Feng Huanping and Xiao Weimin weren't the pretentious type; at least they were quite friendly when they ate with Yue Feng.

The three of them enjoyed the exquisite dishes, sipped their wine, and chatted about various related topics, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

The planning for the second episode of the documentary was put on hold for the time being and not discussed further. After a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, Xiao Weimin brought up the second issue.

"Xiaofeng, do you plan to develop your career in the capital long-term?"

"Huh? Why do you ask that, Brother Xiao?" Yue Feng was slightly taken aback.

"I heard from Xiaoping that you had the Jin family's young master help you purchase property!"

Now that national policies are gradually being relaxed, I personally feel that staying in the capital has great potential!

If you can develop your career here in the capital long-term, I think the potential is much greater than in your hometown in Northeast China!
Although the three northeastern provinces have shouldered much for the country's development, in terms of development potential, they are far inferior to the capital, which is closer to the center of power!

Upon hearing these insightful words, Yue Feng's heart skipped a beat.

Xiao Weimin's words were absolutely heartfelt. Yue Feng, who had lived two lives, knew the course of history.

Yue Feng nodded: "We have indeed bought a house. It's not very convenient to always stay at a friend's house!"
However, I still need to think about developing my career in the capital!

My roots are all in my hometown! Many businesses are just getting on track, and I still need to keep a close eye on them!

And your sister-in-law just gave birth to my son! The baby is still so young!

Besides, with my limited skills, I might be passable at falconry and hunting, but if I actually got to Beijing, I'd only be a burden to my close friends and family; I wouldn't be of any real help!

"I don't like hearing that. I have some businesses, you can choose whatever you want to do with them!" Feng Huanping said with a wave of his hand.

Yue Feng waved his hand: "I appreciate Brother Feng's kindness! I'm still young, let me mature a bit more! Let's take it one step at a time."

Now that we have a home here, we always come back to stay for a while every year!

Once the club is set up, I'll definitely come to BJ more often, and nothing will be delayed!

"Oh, speaking of which, I suddenly remembered something. On the way here, I asked Brother Feng about it: 'Brother Xiao, who did you give that top-quality white eagle to last time?'"

Xiao Weimin picked up his wine glass and took a sip: "I just got that eagle back, and several people have already set their sights on it!"

In the end, he was taken away by the second young master of the Zhang family through a combination of robbery and extortion!
Now that I'm in this position, relationships are incredibly complex, and sometimes I'm not in control of my own destiny. Originally, I was even thinking of giving this eagle to my former boss! (End of Chapter)
