Chapter 861
I Have a Friend
In response to Zhang Wenhui's question, Yue Feng grinned slightly: "It's a tonic wine that can help those with slightly weak backs! It's also quite effective for men of childbearing age who want to have children!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenhui's eyes lit up instantly: "Is it really that amazing? Does the restaurant you're talking about still have any left?"
Reading the hint in his words, Yue Feng glanced at Zhang Wenhui with a smile: "What? Brother Zhang, would you like to try some?"
Zhang Wenhui is already in her early fifties. If we don't consider seniority, she's not much older than Yue Feng's father, and could be considered Yue Feng's uncle.
He had spent half his life wandering. There were hardly any people left in his hometown. After the incident, he fled to the area beyond the Great Wall and had been living on the edge of life and death ever since.
In the past, just surviving was difficult enough, let alone settling down, let alone starting a family or having children to carry on the family line.
But things are different now. Through his own efforts, he has gained a foothold in Mandalay and established his own power base.
Now that they have plenty of money, they still have a strong desire to have children, start a family, and carry on the family line.
However, on the other hand, she is already over fifty years old. Even with good care, it would be quite difficult to have a child in her later years. Not to mention that Zhang Wenhui has suffered serious gunshot wounds and external injuries, and almost lost her life several times. It would be very apt to describe her as having suffered a great loss of vitality.
In this situation, the man's sexual function is already somewhat impaired, let alone the ability to have children.
However, upon hearing that Yue Feng actually possessed such an amazing medicinal wine recipe, Comrade Zhang felt a renewed sense of hope.
This time, Zhang Wenhui didn't refuse. Instead, she nodded with a smile: "You can get it done? Is it difficult? I have a friend who..."
Before the other person could finish speaking, Yue Feng had already accurately grasped their thoughts.
"That's easy to say. There are deer raised in the farm. In the past two years, my master has been preparing medicinal wine according to the prescription when the time comes!"
Before you leave, let's go back up the mountain, and I'll make you a portion to take with you.
As long as you follow the precautions I mentioned, I can't guarantee it will work 100%, but it will definitely replenish what you're deficient in and restore your body's vitality!
My sworn brother got pregnant after drinking this medicinal wine!
My brother and sister-in-law had been trying to conceive for several years without success, but after drinking this medicinal wine, you can see the results now! Give it a try; it's always a better chance!
Having personally verified its effectiveness with two close friends, and hearing Yue Feng's extremely sincere words, Zhang Wenhui nodded repeatedly, "Okay, that's great! I won't stand on ceremony with you, I'll have to take this with me when I leave..."
"Haha, no problem! I'll take you back to get it later!"
……
After the two chatted for a while, the special dishes that Chef Niu had prepared for them were served.
Long-tailed pheasant, boiled pork belly, braised leopard, and venison—all top-quality ingredients and top-notch cooking techniques. Four main dishes plus two cold appetizers to accompany drinks, plus a bowl of soup. For two people, this six-dish-and-one-soup feast of mountain delicacies is more than enough.
However, Zhang Wenhui didn't pay much attention to the food the restaurant served with great sincerity. Ever since he learned about the amazing effects of the medicinal wine during their casual conversation, his attention had been completely focused on it.
The original plan was to have a good drink, chat, and refine the details of the business cooperation from the daytime, but most of the conversation ended up revolving around this Chinese medicinal wine.
Having lived two lives, Yue Feng could understand the importance that Old Zhang placed on having offspring. He maintained sufficient respect during their conversation and repeatedly promised to manage the other party's affairs.
After a hearty meal, with less than a third of the dishes still on the table, Yue Feng asked his sister-in-law for a few lunchboxes to pack up the leftovers and take them home.
Even if we have money, we can't waste it. These leftovers can be taken back home. Whether it's for the workers at the farm on the mountain or for my dad to enjoy with his drinks at the old house, they're all good stuff.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yue Feng originally planned to arrange for Zhang Wenhui to stay at a guesthouse in the city, but Old Zhang absolutely refused and insisted on driving Yue Feng back to the mountain.
Fortunately, neither of them had drunk too much. In this day and age, the checks on drunk driving are not very strict. After they finished cleaning up, they said goodbye to the counter and drove away, heading back to the farm on the mountain under the cover of night.
When the two returned to the mountain, it was already past nine o'clock at night.
The old man was already resting, but upon hearing the noise, he immediately got dressed and opened the door.
When Zhao Dashan saw Yue Feng and Zhang Wenhui enter the house, seemingly drunk, he was slightly taken aback.
"What happened to you two? Did something happen?" Zhao Dashan asked.
Because Yue Feng has many friends, his new house always has guest rooms and other amenities. The house has everything he needs, including electricity, so the living conditions are much better than at the farm on the mountain.
It was already past nine o'clock, and instead of resting at home, the two of them drove up the mountain while intoxicated, which Zhao Dashan found extremely unusual and clearly illogical.
Yue Feng grinned: "Hehe, Master, don't be nervous!"
During the day, Brother Zhang and I met some friends in the city, and in the evening we had dinner and drinks at our own restaurant!
Brother Zhang was quite interested in the medicinal wine we made and said he wanted to take some with him, so he drove up here while he was still a bit tipsy!
Oh, and I brought back some leftovers from the restaurant too. You can just heat them up and eat them, saving you the trouble of cooking!
Hearing his apprentice say this, Zhao Dashan breathed a sigh of relief: "Just for this little thing? I thought he was up to something again!"
Are you two still sleeping on the mountain tonight? If you're not in a rush to leave, get some wine for Xiao Zhang tomorrow!
Zhang Wenhui scratched her head: "No rush, no rush! We won't go back tonight, we'll stay on the mountain!"
"Um, I'm just a little curious, what does this magical medicinal wine actually taste like?"
She said she wasn't in a hurry, but her actions spoke louder than words. Zhao Dashan had seen countless people, and he could tell at a glance that Zhang Wenhui had something on her mind.
"Curiosity is easy to solve, Xiaofeng. First, turn the stove upside down and turn the fire up! I'll get it for Xiaozhang so he can smell it and taste it!"
“Okay!” Yue Feng nodded in agreement.
Zhao Dashan turned and went to the inner room where they were resting. He took a glass jar that had been sealed with a candle but had not yet been taken out from the row of jars on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Inside the jar, the deer penis, deer eggs, and deer kidneys used for soaking in the liquor, along with other Chinese medicinal herbs, are all soaking in their original state.
The set of equipment can only brew six catties of wine. At this moment, the wine in the jar has been brewed but has not yet been opened and used. The wine line is close to the top of the seal and the entire jar is full.
When Zhang Wenhui saw Zhao Dashan carrying a wine jar out of the house, she couldn't wait to glance at it.
At this moment, the soaked liquor had turned a yellowish color, and the various solid ingredients inside were clearly visible. Zhao Dashan: "Hehe, this is the medicinal liquor Xiaofeng mentioned to you! It was soaked precisely on the appointed day! Look, the color of the liquor has changed!"
Zhao Dashan placed the wine jar on the table with a very steady hand, and then opened it in front of everyone.
As soon as the lid was opened, a strange, indescribable smell filled my nostrils.
It's not exactly pungent, nor does it smell like traditional Chinese medicine; the flavor is quite unique.
Zhang Wenhui gently fanned her fingers with her right hand, took a sniff, and naturally narrowed her eyes.
"This tastes really weird... I see some whip, kidneys, and testicles in it!"
Yue Feng nodded: "This is a genuine set of three items from a male sika deer! The remaining Chinese medicines are also quite particular, with a whole set of rules regarding when to take them, how to process them, and what taboos to take when using them!"
This recipe was passed down in my Uncle Li's family, to Xiao Tao's father. It's said to have been passed down for at least several generations, and its effects are very consistent!
After listening, Zhang Wenhui nodded: "Besides helping children get along, can this medicinal wine also enhance male virility?"
I'm on the border, and I have to deal with those Russians every now and then. If this medicinal wine works, it's better than anything else to maintain relationships by giving it as a gift!
As you all know, those Russians, despite their large physiques, become quite incompetent as they age, far inferior to our Chinese men!
Yue Feng nodded: "The main function of this medicinal wine is to replenish a man's congenital deficiency. Once the deficiency is replenished, he will have a greater chance of having a child!"
As for aphrodisiacs, they definitely work, but you have to be careful to use them in moderation! If you rely on them and do whatever you want after drinking, it will only accelerate the depletion of your body's vital energy in the long run!
In layman's terms, drinking it according to the instructions will definitely work, but you can't withstand the continuous depletion; it will damage your vital energy and make things worse later!
"As long as it works! As for the consequences, that's none of our business!"
This thing must cost a lot to make, right? I'll pay for it later. Brother and Xiaofeng, could you help me get a lot more?
After listening, Zhao Dashan smiled slightly and said, "We'll talk about the money later. If we're going to do it, we have to wait until the right time! There are still more than half a year until the winter solstice!"
There's still some stock from last year at home, including this jar of new wine. Take it all with you when you leave!
Xiaofeng will tell you about the precautions for drinking this wine later!
"Okay, that's great! I've really made the trip worthwhile! Xiaofeng helped me introduce friends during the day, and I even had to take some food and gifts with me before I left!" Zhang Wenhui said with great gratitude.
Yue Feng grinned: "Haha, don't be so formal! Brother Zhang, if you do well in Mandalay, maybe one day your brothers will come to you for help, and we'll benefit from it! All my close friends are people I've built up little by little like this. You reap what you sow, and I'll be genuine in return!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wenhui patted her chest repeatedly and said, "We don't need to become successful. Right now, if anything happens at home, just let us know. We'll give you money if you need money, and we'll provide manpower if you need manpower! Absolutely no hesitation!"
……
That night, the three of them squeezed together on the heated kang (a traditional heated brick bed) and slept there again.
Nothing happened the next day, and Yue Feng and Zhang Wenhui didn't get out of their warm beds until after seven in the morning.
Having finished her business with Yue Feng, Zhang Wenhui solemnly bid farewell to Zhao Dashan and Yue Feng.
There wasn't much good stuff on the mountain, so the old man brought Zhang Wenhui some dried meat he had made himself, and he also sealed the jar of medicinal wine tightly and loaded it into the car to take away.
After descending the mountain, Yue Feng watched Zhang Wenhui drive onto the production road, stretched his arms and legs, and strode towards Xing'an Village. In less than half an hour, he walked home.
After seeing Zhang Wenhui off, Yue Feng returned to his previous routine for the next two weeks.
The two broods of eaglets have hatched one after another and are slowly growing up.
Yue Feng would occasionally tinker with his family's eagles. Following the standard of double-marking the chicks by the owner and the parent birds, he would consistently appear in front of the chicks on time to participate in feeding them, while also recording key breeding data such as the weight, plumage color, and daily behavior of the two broods of chicks this year.
As time progressed, the two broods of eaglets grew up and developed quills that began to shed feathers.
The seven chicks on the Black Eagle's side are basically no different from those in previous years; four are black and three are white, a total of seven, all with standard body colors.
At the breeding farm, the first brood of chicks bred by the Grey Falcon and the No. 3 White Falcon are gradually revealing their plumage as their quills fall off. However, in terms of the pattern and color of the sub-adults, they are clearly different from the purebred gyrfalcon chicks of the Great Black Eagle.
All five chicks had plumage patterns between gray and black, and none of the white chicks that followed their father, the No. 3 White Falcon, were present.
This situation was both reasonable and unexpected for Yue Feng.
There is a strong-weak relationship between the feather color genes in hybrid falcons. Black and white may be equally dominant in terms of gene expression, but when faced with the gray feathers of their parent grey falcons, the color gene may be suppressed.
Yue Feng had the five chicks from the first brood of hybrid falcons fitted with closed leg rings early on, and then he would carefully observe the growth, development and interaction of these chicks almost every day.
The grey falcon is a hybrid falcon that is a natural cross between a saker falcon and a gyrfalcon. The hybrid falcon is then paired with a purebred gyrfalcon to breed.
In theory, current hybrid falcon chicks have at least three-quarters of the genes of the gyrfalcon and one-quarter of the genes of the saker falcon.
Real-world observations largely align with the theory; aside from differences in fur color, other aspects such as body size, skeletal structure, and feeding habits are similar to those of the gyrfalcon.
It wouldn't be accurate to say they're all the same.
Among the five chicks, the male hybrid falcon, which hatched last and was initially the smallest, had a body structure that differed somewhat from its four siblings.
This creature seems to have inherited more of its mother Altai Falcon's features, with large nostrils and a skull proportion that differs from its other siblings.
Despite being the last to hatch, the smallest, and the last to start molting, it develops much faster than its older siblings.
Moreover, its overall weight is much lighter than that of the other male chick.
Based on the number of days and his experience from previous years, Yue Feng predicted that even if this youngest bird reached adulthood, it would weigh at most 2.1 to 2.2 pounds, which would be half a size smaller than the other gyrfalcon chicks.
Although it is much smaller, the youngest chick is growing at a fast pace. While the other chicks in the same brood were learning to fly, this youngest chick also began to learn to fly, showing a significantly faster development speed.
At first, Yue Feng wasn't very optimistic about this small youngest chick, but through continuous observation and initial training, he discovered that its performance was significantly better than that of the other chicks.
The most obvious difference is that it learns to fly much faster than its siblings. It can take off steadily and land smoothly on its first flight attempt.
They were very obedient to Yue Feng's commands, such as blowing the whistle or feeding them.
After a few more days of adjustment to initial flight, Yue Feng realized that this unassuming youngest sibling was exceptionally talented; he had struck gold! (End of Chapter)
