Today is the county town's market, thinking that next week will be to supply vegetables to the 'South Beauty' restaurant, Liu Rui decided not to pick vegetables and sell them in the city today.

However, Liu Rui still got up at four o'clock in the morning to make wine, because he had to get up early to harvest peanuts in the mountains today.

There was a heavy rain a few days ago, and the time was just right, and the peanut field should be very soft, which is conducive to the peanut harvest. Peanuts, like potatoes and sweet potatoes, are the easiest to harvest when the soil is soft, and if the soil is compacted, it is really difficult to do.

Liu Rui had eaten breakfast and was packing up tools, snakeskin bags and other things on the courtyard dam, when he heard Wang Shaozhang shouting at himself under the courtyard dam from a distance. Yesterday, Liu Rui told Wang Shaozhang that he would harvest peanuts by himself today and asked him to come over to help.

Liu Rui saw that Wang Shaozhang had come, threw all kinds of tools on the cart, put a set of rope sleeves on his body, and pulled the cart down from the yard, along the road down the mountain, in the direction of the mountain.

This kind of board car welded with water pipes is very widely used in rural areas, and it can be loaded with hundreds of catties of things by manpower alone, which is very convenient, and almost every household has one.

"Arrow, when did the hunting party start killing wild boars? It's our turn to watch the crops at night, it's very tiring! Walking on the road, Wang Shaozhang was complaining to Liu Rui.

"How do I know what those old men think? I'm just going to give them food, drink, and errands. Liu Rui shook his head and said, "It should be soon, right?" Yesterday, I heard Uncle Hua Guo say that I will do it in the next few days. ”

Hunting wild boars is not a simple matter, it is not to get the hunting index, go up the mountain and kill dozens of wild boars is over. If it were so easy, Wang Huaguo would not have convened a meeting of the old hunters and village officials of Shangliang Village and Xialiang Village to discuss countermeasures.

In the past few days, the hunting team formed by the old hunters has almost traveled all over the nearby mountains and forests, and made a survey of the wild boar herds living around, and then the hunting plan has been preliminarily decided.

In order to maintain the ecological balance and protect the survival of the wild boar population, the selection of targets can be described as cautious.

Those sows that are still lactating naturally cannot be hunted, and once the sow dies, those piglets who are not yet able to read and live can easily die, which is not good for the number of wild boar herds. Pregnant wild boars and wild boars that are too small are naturally not in the hunting scope of the hunting team, so the hunting team has finally determined some goals and is ready to start in these days.

For Liu Rui, these things are still a bit far away from him, and he can at most prepare supplies in the rear.

"These wild boars are too much of a headache, if we can stop worrying about the crops in the mountains, it will be Ami Tofu!" Hearing such news, Wang Shaozhang was naturally overjoyed.

In the past two years, because of the attack of wild boars, the harvest of crops planted in the mountains is not high, which makes Wang Shaozhang a little excited. Sometimes it is uneasy to stay at home, and I am always worried that wild boars will rush down from the mountains and harm my crops.

Now that the village has finally taken action to deal with these annoying wild boars, how can it not make Wang Shaozhang, a man who is digging in the field, happy?

In the early morning, the mountain air is fresh, and the fragrance of plants and trees wafts in the mist, refreshing people's hearts. Crystal clear dew hangs on the leaves and grass, and the golden sunlight passes through the cracks in the jungle, shining on the dewdrops, reflecting colorful light.

From time to time, one or two pheasants foraging on the side of the road were alarmed by Liu Rui and others, fluttered their wings and jumped into the grass, and disappeared in a blink of an eye. On the trees on the side of the road, the squirrels jumped up and down with agility, and they were not afraid of people when they saw people passing by, but stared at the people passing under the trees with dark eyes.

Along the way, Liu Rui kept running into villagers returning from their night vigil in the mountains, and most of the greetings revolved around wild boars that kept coming down the mountain to harm the crops.

When we came to the peanut field, the sun had already broken through the cover of the mountains and appeared brightly in the sky. However, the temperature in the mountains is still relatively low, and the sun shines on the body, which is warm.

Walking to the field, Liu Rui tried to reach out and pull up a clump of peanut seedlings, and found that the soil was very soft, and the peanut stalks would not be easily torn off, which could ensure a good harvest. If the soil is compacted, the stalk of the peanut will be easily torn off, and the fruit will remain in the soil, and the loss will be great.

Liu Rui opened a fruit, and the plump peanuts inside were dressed in a pink coat, which made people feel good at first sight. Put two into your mouth and chew it, the sweet taste and a wisp of fragrance go straight to the brain from the taste buds.

At this time, peanuts, because the endosperm still contains a lot of water, although not brittle, but have a very unique taste.

The three of them wasted no time, and began to pull up the peanut seedlings one by one along the ditch, shake off the soil attached to the fruit, and then pile them aside. After the peanut seedlings are pulled up, the peanut seedlings are cut off with the small guillotine knife they brought, leaving only the roots and branches with the fruit.

Harvesting peanuts is not a very heavy physical task, but it is tedious, and it is necessary to pull up all the peanut seedlings, cut off the above-ground parts of the peanut seedlings, and finally put them into a snakeskin bag. It took three people a whole morning to get all the peanuts on two acres of land, and another afternoon to transport them all home.

When I got home, I had to tear the peanuts off the peanut seedlings one by one and put them on the yard to dry, so that the peanuts could be truly harvested.

For rural areas, peanuts have many important uses.

In the past, in the countryside, if there were temporary guests, peeling a plate of peanuts and stir-frying them was a good appetizer.

Of course, the villagers grow peanuts more often than not.

Every year, when the peanut harvest season comes, almost every household peels peanuts and sends the peanut kernels to the village oil mill to extract oil. When he was a child, peeling peanuts, Liu Rui's fingers were inevitably cocooned, and he was very dissatisfied with staying at home every day and not being able to go out to play. After growing up, Liu Rui realized that those fragrant peanut oils contained too much hard work and the love of his parents.

However, with his continuous understanding of agricultural production, Liu Rui found that planting peanuts is actually a laborious but very low economic performance.

Growing peanuts in mountainous and hilly areas is not very productive, and coupled with the cumbersome procedures, the labor effort is not proportional to the harvest.

However, in the rural areas, the awareness of smallholder production is still very strong, and some farmers grow corn, mung beans, soybeans, peanuts and other crops one by one, and the yield of each is very small, but all are complete.

Sometimes farmers feel that they have been busy all year and have no time to rest, but the harvest at the end of the year is not necessarily good, and the hard work is not profitable.

Liu Rui was thinking in his heart, how can he break through this limitation?

PS: Thank you folks for your vote! Regarding the family background of Liu Rui's grandfather's family, in chapter 28, Xiao Yan made some mistakes and wrote Wang Huatai as Liu Rui's second uncle, which caused some misunderstandings. Liu Rui's grandfather's family is not very powerful, and the reason why Liu Rui went home to farm is not because he has a grudge with his uncle, please take your time.

Thank you for the 100 starting coins, bow!
