"Xiao Rui, it's not that your parents don't support you, it's just that the capital needed to grow this cherry tomato is too much, if it doesn't work, then it's ......." Zhang Guizhi looked at his son's resolute look, and felt relieved and distressed at the same time.

"Why don't we try to plant half an acre of land first?" After hesitating for a long time, Liu Jiahong finally spoke.

"The yield of half an acre of land is not enough at all, Uncle Zhou has promised to help us contact the market, as long as it is planted, I am not afraid that it will not be sold!" At this time, Liu Rui could only move Zhou Guodong out to enhance his persuasiveness.

"Then did your Uncle Zhou say that this kind of tomato is good to grow? Don't be like the peppers grown in your uncle's house, which are harder than serving your ancestors, and they haven't been harvested yet. In Zhang Guizhi's eyes, Zhou Guodong is naturally well-informed, and what he said is still quite credible.

"It's very easy, Uncle Zhou also gave me technical information, and when the time comes, he will ask a technician to guide us in field management, parents, you can rest assured!" Liu Rui knows that on such a high-stakes issue, the consent of his parents must be obtained, and the strength of the family can be screwed together.

"Okay, let's give it a try!" Seeing that his son had made up his mind, Liu Jiahong was a little hesitant, but he still expressed his support.

One of the reasons why Liu Jiahong and Zhang Guizhi are not very reluctant is that there is no precedent, they are worried that the planting is not good, even if it is planted, the market is not guaranteed, and the other is that the cost of planting this small tomato is really a bit much.

The seeds alone cost 1,000 yuan, and then the cultivated land, fertilizers, mulch films, and nutrition cups all cost money, and I heard that these new varieties are very delicate, especially easy to attract pests and diseases, and at that time the pesticide money alone was enough.

Seventy-seven-eighty-eight counted, two acres of land, without four thousand yuan, there is no way to see the appearance of those little tomatoes. If it is replaced by the previous two years, the Liu family's loss is not a problem, but now it is indeed a little tight, so Liu Jiahong is not careful.

However, since Liu Rui has taken everything into account and Zhou Guodong has promised to help, Liu Jiahong has decided to support his son's plan to start a business, and it is a big deal to spend money to learn some experience.

Now that the matter has been decided, the remaining details are insignificant, and it is enough to leave it to Liu Rui to deal with together.

………… Divide............ Cut............ Line............

The next day, the Liu family set out early in the morning to weed the open space to the west of the vegetable garden, preparing to open up this land and connect it with the original vegetable garden.

This piece of land is about more than one acre, and it was originally the vegetable garden of the Liu family, but it has not been taken care of in the past few years, and it has gradually become barren, and the weeds and shrubs on it are already more than one person high.

Of course, Liu Rui was naturally the main laborer, carrying a large sickle, and one person took the lead to cut down those shrubs and weeds. Liu Zhi and Zhang Guizhi followed behind him, picking out the hard branches and keeping them for firewood, and the weeds were thrown in place, and after they were burned, they could be turned into grass and wood ash fertilizer.

As for Tongtong, the little girl, she is here to make trouble, standing aside and not doing her job, and yelling at the small animals that come out of the grass from time to time, which makes the whole scene a lot more lively.

Liu's family is halfway up the hillside of Xiaoqingshan, and the plantation behind him has a history of more than 20 years. From time to time, some pheasants, hares, hedgehogs and other animals on the mountain broke into Liu's house and used Liu's vegetable garden as their own canteen.

'Huh?! Liu Rui, who was wielding a scythe, was suddenly shaken by a pile of light brown things in front of him.

"Big brother, why did you stop?" Tongtong behind him saw that Liu Rui didn't move, and asked curiously.

"A nest of wild eggs!"

"Wild eggs? I want to watch, I want to watch! As soon as the little girl heard that it was a wild egg, she shouted excitedly and wanted to rush in, but Zhang Guizhi hurriedly grabbed her.

Liu Rui put down the sickle and carefully picked out the eggs in the nest, a total of eight.

Approaching the hillside, a rabbit nest was found, and six young rabbits that had just opened their eyes were scurrying around the ground.

As for the twenty or so eggs in the seven or eight nests, they had to be cheaper than two little gluttonous cats.

Working together as a family, it took only one morning for the plot next to the garden to be cleared, and the garden could double in size after the weeds were dried and burned.

Eight wild eggs were put into the chicken nest at home, and it was a good thing for the hens to hold the nest, but it was the few rabbits that were staying in the cage that made Liu Rui a little worried.

It is impossible to send it back, and after the wasteland is reclaimed, the original female rabbit will definitely be frightened and run away, and it will probably not survive if it is sent back.

I had no choice but to stay at home and raise it.

Tongtong has already fed a puppy, and it doesn't matter if there are a few more rabbits.

Anyway, the vitality of the grass rabbit is extremely strong, as long as it is born, it can open its eyes, crawl all over the ground, and feed it carefully for two or three weeks, so that they can forage for food on their own.

A nest of wild eggs and a few rabbits are the windfall of today's wilderness clearance.

After finishing his family's affairs, Liu Rui had to rush to the town to prepare various logistical supplies for the hunters who went into the mountains to hunt wild boars.

Buy fish, meat, wine and food, send them to Wang Hua's country, let Wang Auntie and Wang's sister-in-law cook, and in the evening, let the team members have a full meal and then let them go into the mountain. As for labor protection gloves, liberation shoes and a few cigarettes, these bits and pieces of things Liu Rui had prepared for them in advance.

Of course, a part of these expenditures will be advanced by the Shangliang Village Committee, and the final settlement will be carried out after the hunt is over.

As for running errands for the village, although it was a waste of time, the Liu family did not have any opinions, and Liu Rui also felt that he was exercising himself. After all, I live in the village, and it is always a good thing to be able to do something for the village. Living in the countryside, if you compete with each other and your popularity is not good, it will be difficult for you to do your own things in the future.

After doing these things, Liu Rui still has to go to the agricultural machinery station in the town to see if he can ask them to drive a tractor over to help him plough the dry land where he is going to plant tomatoes?

According to the planting instructions, it is best to use a tractor to plough, which can make the plot more crushed, the soil layer is deeper, and it is more beneficial for the growth of seedlings. Of course, using a tractor costs a little money, but it's more efficient and saves more time to do other things.

Originally, the people at the agricultural machinery station were reluctant to go to Shangliang Village for a few acres of land, but fortunately, one of Liu Rui's junior high school classmates worked as a tractor driver at the agricultural machinery station. It's easy to get things done with acquaintances, and the old classmate happily promised to come over to help Liu Rui plow the land when the time came.

By the time Liu Rui finished everything, it was already sunset, and time really couldn't stand the busyness.
