A big rabbit weighing six or seven pounds, Liu Bajiu added two catties of pure meat when chopping rabbit meat, all of which were braised and more than a pound of potatoes were put in it.

In the end, the family ate and there was not much left.

Wang Lan slumped on the chair and touched her belly and sighed: "I haven't eaten rabbit meat for a long time, I didn't expect it to be so delicious, I ate a little too much!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Liu Xingguo took a sip of beer and said with a smile: "It's delicious, let's raise a few by ourselves, just raise two, the rabbits will be raised for a month, and you can't eat two of them!" ”

"I'm afraid the farmed ones are not so delicious!" Liu Bajiu was still eating slowly, at first he was embarrassed to grab it from his parents, and he had eaten higher-quality dog meat and fish, and he was not very rare in these rabbit meats.

"This rabbit must have been wild outside for a while, so the meat is much more delicious, and it is not impossible to breed, but it has to be free-range.

The land reform in our village is about to begin, and Liu Yunchuan contracted the project to me, with two or three million yuan to earn, on the condition that after the land reform, I have to plant the 800 acres of land reform. ”

"Are you going to farm at home in the future?" Liu Xingguo frowned and asked.

Wang Lan said with some concern: "I heard that farming is not profitable, many people who contract land are losing money, even if the state has subsidies, they can't make money, mainly because food is too cheap."

Fruits and vegetables are not easy to sell, but the labor looks cheap, but the people who can find them are all old men and old ladies, and they can't do much work at all! ”

Liu Xingguo thought about it carefully, and then said: "It's okay, anyway, with Yunchuan and their help, the state's subsidies will not be less, let's do it first, if it doesn't work, it's not a big deal!" ”

Liu Bajiu couldn't help but glance at his father in surprise, you must know that the old man is very disgusted with the people in the big house, and he doesn't want to take advantage of the big house, so he has no objection now.

After thinking about it, Liu Bajiu was relieved, it should be for himself to have a way out and make a good house, even if he doesn't make money this time, as long as things are done badly, there will always be a time to make money.

The weather outside was gloomy, but there was no meaning of rain at all, and this year Liu Bajiu and they have been in drought here until now, and it has been a drought since last year's extreme heat.

It has rained a few times, but unfortunately it is not too big, and it is not even soaked in rain, Wang Lan beat rabbits at home in the morning, and Liu Bajiu and Liu Xingguo also went to the river field to pick up water and pour the sweet potatoes planted a few days ago.

Liu Bajiu and they live in the middle of the mountain, and at the bottom of the mountain is the river field, and the so-called river field is actually the field between the two mountains.

Because it is only a hill, the mountain is not only not high nor long-term, only one or two hundred meters, and there is no living water at the end, or even if there is living water, the water flow is very small, and it cannot form a river, even a small river ditch cannot be formed, and it is changed into terraces with a small slope.

But once it rains heavily, several slopes of water come down, and the water flow is very turbulent, just like a river, so it is called Kawada.

As long as it is not a continuous heavy rainstorm, it doesn't matter if the seedlings are flooded for a day or two, and the seedlings that fall down in less than two days after the water recedes can stand up and continue to grow.

However, this kind of thing rarely happens, after all, the ancestors have been planted for generations, so they naturally know when to plant and when to harvest.

Now there are few young people in the countryside, and the land with convenient transportation and flat land on the side of the highway cannot be planted, and no one can plant the inconvenient river fields anymore, and the trees on the mountains on both sides have not been cut down for more than ten years and grow very tall, even if they are planted, the harvest is not good.

So now all the river fields are overgrown with weeds, and some of them even have big trees more than ten meters tall growing in them.

Standing by the dam and looking at the river fields below, Liu Bajiu asked, "How many acres of river fields do we have?" ”

"It's just a hundred and ten acres, there is no use for the ball, a few years ago, there was a boss who contracted to raise sheep, but it didn't take half a year to leave!" Liu Xingguo took a puff of cigarette and said happily.

Kawada is humid all year round, and even in extreme drought, the grass inside will grow very well, and it will grow very quickly.

Liu Bajiu remembers that when he was a child, he cut the grass and fed the cows, and the grass in other places took a week to grow to the height of the sickle again, and the grass under the river field was not used, and it could be cut again after three or four days, and it should be very good to raise sheep!

"Why?" Liu Bajiu asked curiously.

"Because he raised sheep free-range, he bought hundreds of them and put them under the river field to let the sheep graze by themselves, but they always lost them, and at first he thought they were stolen by our locals, and called the police, but the police didn't find out anything.

Then he continued to lose the sheep, and he thought that there were some wild animals, and began to monitor the mountains, but found nothing, and finally he asked a few locals to help take care of them.

They told him that there were rotten bubbles in this river field, and it was not suitable for such free-range sheep at all, unless they were raised in captivity, and then asked someone to cut the grass, so he was unwilling to leave. Liu Xingguo said happily.

Rotten bubbles are actually similar to swamps, and the river fields themselves are ravines created by the great water.

The heavy water will carry away the sediment, and it will also bring some sediment down, and because of obstacles such as branches and leaves, the distribution of sediment in the gully is not uniform, which will cause this piece to be deep and that piece shallow.

When my ancestors changed it to a river field, they filled in the deep area with stones and pebbles so that people would not fall into it and drown, but it was filled to the point where people could not drown.

After all, it is very tiring to move stones, and there are several deep and shallow pieces of your own field, so pay attention to one thing when planting and harvesting, just throw a few seedlings to fill some deep places when planting, and let children step on the grain stakes to harvest when cutting.

But the height of the drowning can't drown the dead, but it's enough to drown the sheep, and the sheep's hooves are so thin that they can't run away if they run in.

"How much is the rent a year?" Liu Bajiu asked.

Liu Xingguo pursed his lips and said: "One acre of land is only one hundred yuan a year, and no one wants it for nothing, how expensive can it be, what do you want to do?" ”

"The whole dam has been turned into a reservoir for fish!" Liu Bajiu said with a smile.

"It's just four or five yuan a pound, it's a waste of effort, and fish farming is not profitable at all!" Liu Xingguo said.

"So cheap?" Liu Bajiu asked in surprise.

"What do you think?" Liu Xingguo said: "Qingshui fish can be a little more expensive, but it is not too expensive, after all, people buy fish regardless of whether you are Qingshui fish or not, and the dealers are all purchased according to the price of feed fish!" ”

It's still a problem of sales, no matter how good things are, it's useless if you don't sell them.
