Chapter 15: A Bountiful Harvest at the Space Farm, Hunting in the Mountains
Time flew by, and a week passed in the blink of an eye. Nothing major happened in the hospital during the week.
Today, Wang Feng finally finished drinking ten catties of the Water of Life and achieved the strength of a thousand catties.
To his surprise, his appetite did not continue to increase during this period, which made him very excited.
Now, his meal portion is about 15 large steamed buns. If he adds some vegetables, then 10 large steamed buns per meal will be enough.
He was genuinely a little scared. His appetite would keep increasing. If that happened, once he reached a strength of two thousand or three thousand jin, he wouldn't have to do anything but eat every day.
Another piece of good news is that all the crops in the space have ripened today.
The fish in the pond have grown a lot. Before, there were only about 1,000 catties of fish in the pond, and only about 300 catties of fish weighing more than one catty.
We now have a total of over 3,000 jin (1,500 kg), with over 1,000 jin (500 catties) of fish weighing more than 5 jin (2.5 kg).
To prevent the fish from becoming too densely packed, Wang Feng directly stored all the fish weighing over 5 jin (2.5 catties) into the warehouse.
He had already tested it before; his warehouse could hold living creatures, but once inside, they would remain still, only to be released back to their lively, energetic state.
However, this is understandable, since his warehouse is not a real warehouse, but a static space that he has isolated with his mind.
Looking at the three acres of sweet potatoes, two acres of pumpkins, and one acre of corn, Wang Feng smiled with satisfaction.
With a thought, all the crops flew out of the soil and landed inside the warehouse.
This harvest yielded a total of 24,000 jin of sweet potatoes, 4,200 jin of pumpkins, and about 600 jin of corn.
Seeing this yield, Wang Feng did some mental calculations. Apart from sweet potatoes, the yields of the others were not high, especially corn, which only yielded 6 jin per mu. This was not worth it at all.
I put the sweet potato vines and pumpkin vines into the warehouse, and also collected the corn stalks. These can be used to feed pigs or something in the future, so we can't waste them.
Wang Feng considered what to plant, pondered for a moment, and decided that planting sweet potatoes would be more cost-effective.
The yield of sweet potatoes is 8 jin per mu, and there are many sweet potato vines, which can be used to feed poultry and livestock in the future.
Moreover, sweet potatoes don't even need seeds; you can just plant them directly from the vines, which maximizes profits.
With that in mind, he immediately controlled the large number of sweet potato vines to plant. This time, he planted a total of 6 mu (approximately 0.4 hectares). For the remaining 3 mu (approximately 0.5 hectares), he planned to go to the black market tonight to see if he could get some wheat and rice seeds.
I checked the time; it was only 8 a.m. If I went to the mountains, I should be able to get back before dark.
After hurriedly eating 15 steamed buns, Wang Feng pushed his bicycle out the door.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw Qin Huairu doing laundry.
"Wang Feng, you're up so early today, are you going to the countryside?"
Wang Feng nodded with a smile: "Yes, it's been several days since I went to the countryside. If I don't go out and make some trips soon, I won't be able to finish my tasks for this month."
Without saying much to Qin Huairu, Wang Feng walked towards the front yard.
He rode his bicycle to the outskirts of the city, not knowing where to hunt. He saw a large mountain to the northwest and rode his bicycle towards it.
It took us a full two hours to reach the foot of the mountain. It really is true that looking at a mountain can make a horse run itself to death.
After storing his bicycle in his storage space, Wang Feng climbed the mountain on foot.
At his current speed, he's probably around 80 miles per hour, which is definitely faster than cars of this era.
If he dared to unleash such speed in Beijing, someone would probably come to arrest him immediately. Even outside the city, he wouldn't dare to run at full speed, in case he ran into someone and they reported him, which would be troublesome.
Upon entering the outer edge of the mountains, Wang Feng encountered no one along the way and quickly ran towards the depths of the mountains.
We ran in the mountains for over an hour before finally stopping.
Looking at his clothes, Wang Feng shook his head helplessly. He had run too fast, and his clothes and pants were torn in various places, making him look even more tattered than a beggar.
Fortunately, Wang Feng had prepared before going up the mountain, and changed into a tattered shirt.
Wang Feng's hearing and eyesight are now several times better than the average person's. As soon as he stopped, he heard the pheasant calling.
A quick glance revealed a pheasant in the grass to the side.
Wang Feng suddenly burst into full speed, sprinting to the pheasant in one go. Just as he was about to grab the pheasant, it was startled and flew up to try to escape.
Seeing this, Wang Feng leaped three meters high and grabbed the pheasant by the neck in mid-air.
"Hehe, not bad, not bad, this pheasant weighs about three pounds."
After crawling through the bushes, they found six wild eggs, which they also stored in their spatial storage.
Wang Feng guessed that the pheasant was probably female and was incubating her chicks when he caught it.
He hasn't built a ranch yet, so raising livestock isn't easy.
After thinking it over, Wang Feng decided to cut some wood first to build a ranch. Otherwise, if he caught pheasants and rabbits but couldn't raise them, wouldn't his space be wasted?
Without hesitation, he took out a large saw from his spatial storage and began felling trees.
He bought the saw in his spare time these past few days and put it in the warehouse. Now his warehouse not only has saws, but also tools such as hammers, axes, and kitchen knives, and even pots and pans, just in case.
The mountains are mostly covered with pine and willow trees. Wang Feng is very fast at felling trees; he can cut down a tree as thick as a water bucket in less than two minutes.
The main problem is that Wang Feng's current strength and physique are too abnormal; strictly speaking, he is no longer a normal person.
Throughout history, he simply doesn't believe that anyone can actually exert strength exceeding a thousand jin.
After spending more than two hours and cutting down a full sixty or seventy large trees, Wang Feng stopped.
With so much wood, it should last a long time.
Under his mental control, the trees were divided into countless sections. Wang Feng allocated half an acre of land to build a pasture, 100 square meters to build a chicken coop, 100 square meters to raise rabbits, and more than 100 square meters to build a pigsty.
After putting the pheasants and eggs from the warehouse into the chicken coop, and also putting corn kernels into the coop, Wang Feng stopped paying attention to them.
Wang Feng kept his eyes and ears open and finally spotted a group of wild boars by a pool of water about 50 meters away. There were two large wild boars and four small wild boars, which he guessed were a family.
Wang Feng did not approach the wild boar herd; he was thinking about how to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a practical solution, unless he dug a trap. But digging a trap would take too much time, and he might have found more prey by then.
If he really couldn't think of a solution, Wang Feng was prepared to resort to brute force. With his immense strength, was he afraid of a group of wild boars?
Wang Feng slowly approached the wild boar herd, and when he was about 30 meters away, he was spotted by two large wild boars.
The wild boar grunted and charged towards Wang Feng.
Seeing this, Wang Feng simply stopped moving and waited for the wild boar to come to him.
Just as the wild boar was about to pierce him with its sharp tusks, Wang Feng used all his strength to slap the boar's head, knocking it to the ground. At the same time, he dodged an attack from another wild boar by sidestepping, then grabbed the boar's hind leg and put it directly into the pigsty in his space.
Another wild boar was slapped over by Wang Feng and lay on the ground, grunting and squealing weakly. It was unclear whether the boar had suffered a concussion from the slap.
Wang Feng grabbed the wild boar by its hind legs and pulled it in as well.
Two large wild boars mysteriously disappeared, while four small wild boars remained oblivious, continuing to drink water at the pool.
Wang Feng cautiously approached the four wild boars. When he was only ten meters away from them, the wild boars realized what was happening and scattered in all directions.
Wang Feng instantly burst into full speed, rushing to the wild boar in one stride, grabbing the two baby wild boars by their hind legs with his left and right hands respectively.
After storing the two baby wild boars in his spatial storage, the other two had already run ten meters away. Wang Feng chased after one of the baby wild boars and, with a burst of full speed, caught up with it in no time and stored it in his spatial storage.
Wang Feng turned around to chase after the other wild boar, but there was no sign of it anywhere. He didn't even know which direction it had run off in.
