Traveling through the 60s, living a life of wealth and prosperity

Chapter 44 Entering the Mountains

After watching Captain Liu leave, Wang Yuanchao stood up and looked at the surrounding mountains and the villagers everywhere. He picked up the bamboo basket with only a little harvest and couldn't help but sigh.

There was no other way. In those days, every household did not have enough food. Although the villagers in the Hongqi Brigade lived better than those in other brigades,
But after going up the mountain with the villagers for a few days, Wang Yuanchao found that the vast majority of the villagers were pale and thin, and there was not a single fat person.

I also know that if the villagers want to eat more and eat better, every household will have to work harder and have to go to the mountains to find food.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanchao planned to go into the mountains to see if he could gain more.

Anyway, Wang Yuanchao has a space, and he can hide in it when he encounters danger. Even if he is in the deep mountains and cannot get back in time, Wang Yuanchao can spend the night in the space.

Wang Yuanchao was not afraid of the deep mountains and old forests that the villagers feared like tigers.

Wang Yuanchao walked towards the deep mountains while using a machete to cut through the grass to avoid danger.

As we went deeper into the mountains, no one had walked on the road anymore. The mountains were overgrown with weeds and the trees were becoming increasingly dense.

We continued to move forward for three or four hours, bypassing two hills.

Wang Yuanchao suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water.
After walking in the direction of the sound of flowing water for another seven or eight minutes, Wang Yuanchao saw a stream.

The width of the stream is less than two meters, and the water flows slowly into the depths of the forest, with no end in sight.

When Wang Yuanchao saw the water source, he looked around more cautiously.

There are not many trees around the stream, mostly short shrubs and thatch. There are no large wild animals by the river, only a few birds playing in the water.

After making sure there was no danger, Wang Yuanchao walked closer to the stream and startled a flock of birds.

I washed my face several times first, then put my hands into the cool stream water to relieve the heat in my body and took a long breath of comfort.

After Wang Yuanchao rested for a while, he looked at his watch in the space. It was already past four in the afternoon.
After walking on the mountain road for a long time today, Wang Yuanchao was exhausted. He took out his military water bottle and drank a few sips of spiritual spring water, then forced himself to wait for his body to recover.

Soon Wang Yuanchao recovered from his fatigue, and his whole body was refreshed. He looked around the surrounding environment.

I realized that I had probably entered a deep mountain area. There was no human habitation around except for the rustling sound of wind blowing through leaves and the chirping of birds.

Wang Yuanchao watched the animal world in his previous life and knew that where there was water in the mountains, there would be many animals active there.

Wang Yuanchao knew that it was already late, but he had finally reached the edge of the mountains and no one would come here.

I was just waiting to collect some game into the space, why would I just go back like this?
So Wang Yuanchao simply decided not to go back to the village today and prepared to hide in the space here to spend the night.

After making the decision, Wang Yuanchao took out a hoe from the space and started digging a hole in the grass beside the stream.

Wang Yuanchao is now quite strong and can dig the pit very quickly.

Because Wang Yuanchao directly put the dug soil into the space, there was no need to shovel the soil.

It only took Wang Yuanchao an hour and a half to dig a large pit that was three meters long, wide and one and a half meters deep.

Then he cut a lot of grass on the lawn, soaked it in spiritual spring water, and put it in the pit.

Wang Yuanchao directly entered the space from the dug pit.

Enter the bamboo house, use your consciousness to grab the duck you exchanged with Aunt Lihua, then light the stove and boil a pot of water.
Prepare cinnamon, star anise, ginger, chili pepper, green pepper, and garlic leaves. Cut the duck's throat with a knife to let the blood flow. Pinch the duck's feathers and chop it into pieces. You're ready to eat the hanging pot duck for dinner.

After eating and drinking, Wang Yuanchao climbed the mountain for a day. Although he had the spiritual spring water to restore his body, he was still mentally exhausted. So Wang Yuanchao came to the hot spring pool, took off his clothes and started to soak in the hot spring.

Lying in the hot spring, I began to understand the situation in the space.

First of all, the aquatic plants and various fish in the canal grow very vigorously under the influence of the spiritual spring water.

Secondly, with the flow rate in the outside world being one day faster than that in the space being ten days, the chickens, ducks and geese in the space have begun to lay eggs. And because Wang Yuanchao has not collected chicken, duck and goose eggs, the chicks, ducks and geese hatched in the space have already formed groups, with dozens of each.

Although the pigpen in the space is large and can raise many pigs,
But all three boars had already gone into heat once, and all four sows in the pigsty were pregnant.

So Wang Yuanchao first used his consciousness to collect all the chicken, duck and goose eggs on the ground into a static space.

Then he used the branches he had picked up into the space to make fences, separated out several spaces on the pasture, and raised the chickens, ducks, and geese separately.

Another thought came to his mind, and he used the soil in the space to build several pig pens to separate the pregnant sows and boars.

There were three boars. Wang Yuanchao castrated two of them with one thought, leaving only one breeding pig.

If the boar is not castrated, its body will have a strong fishy smell and its meat will not taste good.

So Wang Yuanchao castrated two boars and fed them some spiritual spring water.

Keep it in a space for a few more days to remove the fishy smell from the boar, and then you can slaughter it directly.

By then, Wang Yuanchao will never lack pork to eat again.

After finishing his work at the ranch, Wang Yuanchao looked towards the fruit area on the barren mountain.

Among them, apple trees, orange trees, tangerine trees, strawberry trees, star anise trees, lychee trees, and longan trees have all begun to thrive.

Seasonal fruits such as watermelon, cucumber, cantaloupe, and pear melon are all ripe.

Wang Yuanchao saw this and picked a cantaloupe. After washing it casually, he used his consciousness to get a kitchen knife from the bamboo house. After peeling the skin, he cut the cantaloupe into four pieces.
Pick up a piece and take a bite, the melon juice bursts out of your mouth instantly.

The melon juice watered with spiritual spring water is particularly fragrant and tastes particularly sweet.

After Wang Yuanchao chewed the cantaloupe and swallowed it, the only thing on his mind was "Mm, it's delicious!"

After taking a bite, Wang Yuanchao couldn't stop eating at all. In no time, he finished the whole melon. It left a lingering taste in his mouth.

After putting the kitchen knife back in the kitchen, I washed the cantaloupe juice off my body with hot spring water.

Wang Yuanchao harvested all the mature rice, rapeseed oil, sweet potatoes and other crops in the black soil into the static space with one consciousness.

Then Wang Yuanchao planted all 100 ginseng seeds into the 20:1 black soil, watered it with spiritual spring water, and waited for the ginseng to grow slowly.

Then he took out some millet from the static space, soaked it in spiritual spring water to use as seeds, and planned to collect some pig grass and plant it in the pasture later. He didn't plan to plant sweet potatoes anymore, and would plant rice on the vacant black soil in the space.

As for another kind of fine grain, wheat, Wang Yuanchao was not in a hurry to plant it. After all, Wang Yuanchao did not like eating pasta very much, so he was not that enthusiastic about growing wheat.

After everything was done, Wang Yuanchao got up from the hot spring pool, washed and hung his clothes, put on his underwear, went to the big European-style bed in the room, and fell asleep directly.
