Chapter 25: Going into the mountains to try your luck

Jiang Bo found that as he read more books, his ability to understand became stronger and stronger.

Even the slightly difficult ancient Chinese book "Qimin Yaoshu".

He also has no trouble reading.

Finally, I finished reading "Qimin Yaoshu".

Jiang Bo looked at the attribute panel and found that his planting experience had increased by more than fifty points!

This accumulates faster than if he were to plant crops in space.

Jiang Bo stretched lazily.

I picked up the few books in front of me and put them on the book return table. I wanted to get some more books from the bookshelf and stretch my muscles at the same time.

Ran Qiuye saw him stand up and leave without even glancing in her direction.

It feels a little awkward.

She felt that she had just overthought.

Maybe this is their unique way of reading.

He didn't mean that at all, but I imagined so much.

Ran Qiuye tried to adjust herself and calm down.

But I just couldn't concentrate on writing lesson plans anymore.

She stared at the book, but what she was thinking about was how Jiang Bo flipped through the book just now.

She felt a little confused.

Anyway, I can’t read the book today, so I might as well go back.

Jiang Bo went to the bookshelf and looked around. This time he did not take any books on planting, but instead took out a few books on winemaking.

In the morning, he came across Xu Huizhen's tavern on Qianmen Street.

He had some ideas.

His personal space has bonuses for planting and animal husbandry, but what about winemaking?

Fortunately, there was still some sorghum among the seeds exchanged on the black market.

When the sorghum is ripe, he wants to try making wine.

Jiang Bo took the book and returned to his seat.

I found that Ran Qiuye had left.

The seat opposite was empty.

Jiang Bo didn't care and returned to his seat to continue studying.

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for triggering the brewing skill. ]

[Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for brewing experience +1! ]

……

Originally, Jiang Bo held the mentality that it is better to have more skills.

Unexpectedly, a new skill was triggered.

It was a surprise.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening and the library was about to close.

Jiang Bo has no employment certificate or letter of introduction.

So I can’t borrow books.

But it doesn't matter.

The library is not far from the courtyard, so he can come and read books at any time, which is very convenient.

After walking for about ten minutes, Jiang Bo returned home.

"First, let's see how the crops in the space are growing."

Once inside.

Although mentally prepared.

But Jiang Bo was still a little shocked by the scene before him.

At this moment, the space is covered with lush greenery.

In just one day, the sown seeds have already broken through the soil.

Especially the cucumbers and tomatoes that were planted first.

The cucumbers have grown to more than half a meter tall, and small cucumber flowers as long as fingers are hanging on the vines.

The tomatoes grew better, and the fruits were half the size of a fist, emerald green all over with a slight pink tint.

Jiang Bo picked one and tasted it.

Sweet and sour.

The fruity flavor is very strong.

It’s hard to imagine how sweet it will be when it matures.

He looked at the rice, wheat and sorghum again.

Perhaps because the water was adequate, the rice is growing best and has already begun to ear.

The sorghum also grew tall and strong.

The wheat leaves are clear green and swaying in the wind.

Quite unexpected.

There was an unknown plant growing in the middle of the ridge of the tomato and cucumber field.

It appears to be a woody plant with palm-sized leaves.

It should be an ornamental flower.

There are several large pink buds on the top, as big as eggs.

"It must have been accidentally mixed in with the seeds this morning."

"It would be nice to keep it as an ornamental plant."

"I just don't know what kind of flower it is."

Jiang Bo didn't pay much attention to it.

He hadn't been very active that day and wasn't particularly hungry.

I dug a few yams from the space for dinner.

After a quick meal, I went to bed early.

He decided to go into the mountains early the next morning to see if he could get any new discoveries.

……

The next day.

Early in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Jiang Bo walked out of the house and headed straight for the western suburbs.

He didn't know that in the next room, behind the dark glass window, a pair of small eyes were looking at him resentfully.

Jiang Bo headed westward, and he found that this time entering the mountains seemed easier.

Last time, I was a little out of breath when going up the mountain.

I walked for an hour this time and didn’t feel tired at all.

We set out early, so when we arrived at Xishan, it was almost dawn and there were not many people on the mountain.

Jiang Bo carried a spear and a sack and continued walking deeper into the cave.

Just as he turned a corner and was about to reach the bamboo forest where he had hunted pheasants last time, a man came up from the fork in the road ahead.

Limping.

Jiang Bo looked familiar from a distance.

When he got closer, Jiang Bo recognized him.

"Young shopkeeper?"

When Zhan Yougen saw Jiang Bo in front of him, he was stunned.

Obviously, he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.

Jiang Bo caught a glimpse of panic in his expression and felt a little strange.

But Zhan Yougen quickly recovered his composure and put on a standard warm smile.

"Oh! It's you!"

"It's fate that we met here!"

"Are you going into the mountains to try your luck?"

Jiang Bo nodded.

"Young Shopkeeper, what are you doing?"

Zhan Yougen pointed his chin in the direction he came from. "Same! My legs are not good and I can't walk too far. It just rained, so I thought there might be some mushrooms or fungus in the mountains."

As he opened the cloth bag in his hand, Jiang Bo saw a few scattered wild mushrooms in it.

"My luck is just average." Zhan Yougen laughed at himself. "I can't compare to you, my brother. Your legs and feet are very strong. If you use our iron spear, I'm sure you'll have a good harvest today."

"Thank you for your kind words." Jiang Bo pointed in the direction of the deep mountains and said, "Would you like to go in together?"

"No, no." Zhan Yougen waved his hand, "I'm going home now. I have to go back to the store to work."

"Just do your thing and come back to the store when you have time!"

The two said goodbye.

Zhan Yougen walked down the mountain.

Jiang Bo turned around and looked at Zhan Yougen's back.

Thinking back to his expression just now, I always felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

Jiang Bo put aside his thoughts and walked towards the bamboo forest.

Last time, he hunted a hen pheasant here and took out a nest of pheasant eggs.

But he was still thinking about the beautiful big rooster he saw first, and wanted to try his luck again to see if he could hunt it.

He dug a new hole in the bamboo forest and set a trap.

After scattering some millet grains near the trap, Jiang Bo completed the last step. He hid himself behind the bushes and waited quietly for the pheasant to fall into the trap.

What he didn't expect was.

The pheasants had not arrived yet, but a surprising scene appeared on the mountain road not far away.
