When Zhao Dazhu went outside, he found that it was the young man who ran a stall at the farmers' market who had brought the cherry tomato seedlings.

Four large baskets of seedlings, lush and green, densely packed, should be enough to plant two acres of land.

"Bring them all in and put them in the yard. You don't need to worry about the rest," Zhao Dazhu said, pointing to a corner of the yard.

"Okay, just a moment."

The young man was quite efficient, quickly unloading the four large baskets one by one from the carriage and placing the seedlings inside the baskets in the places designated by Zhao Dazhu.

Zhao Dazhu didn't dawdle and paid the remaining half of the money on the spot.

"You're really straightforward, sir," the young man laughed.

"I'm not the kind of person who would sit down and haggle over the price as soon as I get something," Zhao Dazhu said with a smile.

After the young man drove away in his tricycle, Zhao Dazhu went inside and cooked himself a large bowl of egg noodles.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhao Dazhu picked up his basket and hoe and set off.

Zhao Dazhu spent the entire afternoon working in his own farmland, transplanting cherry tomato seedlings.

Normally, he would have to stop and rest for a while after working for a while, otherwise his body wouldn't be able to take it.

But things are different now.

Having condensed his true energy, he seemed to possess inexhaustible strength, and no matter how long he squatted, he would not experience back pain.

He didn't stop until noon, and only when night fell and it was almost impossible to see clearly did he finally straighten up and stretch.

Looking at the large expanse of lush green seedlings in front of him, Zhao Dazhu wore a satisfied smile and felt a deep sense of accomplishment, as if he had accomplished something remarkable.

"Old Zhao, it's getting dark, aren't you going home yet?"

"Go home and eat, stop busying yourself."

"Let's keep going tomorrow."

Several villagers carrying hoes and shovels passed by Zhao Dazhu's field, chatting and laughing, and greeted him in a shouting manner.

"Yes, let's do it tomorrow."

Zhao Dazhu laughed, shouldered his hoe and picked up his basket, humming an unknown tune as he set off on his way home.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

After a whole day of hard work, Zhao Dazhu transplanted all the cherry tomato seedlings he had bought the day before yesterday into two acres of farmland, and the number of seedlings was just right, not too many and not too few.

However, after returning home, having dinner, and lying down in bed, Zhao Dazhu faced another dilemma.

Although the growth cycle of cherry tomatoes is already very short, it still takes three to four months for them to ripen.

In that case, it would take three to four months to harvest and sell the produce.

The problem is, I have to pay back that 10,000 yuan online loan starting next month.

Although he still had a few thousand yuan left, Zhao Dazhu felt a strong sense of urgency.

Is there any way to make cherry tomatoes in farmland grow and ripen quickly?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Zhao Dazhu immediately recalled the records in the inheritance.

A few minutes later, Zhao Dazhu's eyes lit up and a look of joy appeared on his face.

The tradition records a very special medicinal formula called "Rapid Growth Elixir," which can greatly accelerate the growth of plants.

Most importantly, there are only about ten kinds of medicinal materials needed to prepare this medicine called Quick-Growth Elixir.

The others are all common medicinal herbs, which are auxiliary medicines. The only main medicine, Silver Ring Spirit Flower, can be found on the back mountain of Xinghua Village!

Zhao Dazhu had encountered the Silver Ring Spirit Flower several times before, on the back of the mountain!

However, at that time he did not know what the Silver Ring Spirit Flower was and thought it was just an ordinary wildflower.

Zhao Dazhu reviewed the preparation process recorded in the formula of the Quick-Growth Elixir again and again. After confirming that there were no problems, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

"We'll head up the mountain first thing tomorrow morning!"

Zhao Dazhu muttered to himself, his face full of anticipation.

The bright red sun slowly rose from the horizon, casting its crimson rays upon the earth.

Xinghua Village, a small village nestled at the foot of the mountain, was thus draped in a layer of bright red gauze, and under the reflection of wisps of smoke, it had a somewhat hazy beauty.

I don't know whose rooster it was, but it crowed loudly, one crow after another.

Zhao Dazhu finally woke up from his sleep. He immediately lifted the quilt to take a look and found that although he had not had a wet dream today, he had pulled the quilt up high, as if he had really returned to his youth.

So he kept chuckling to himself, imagining how it would come in handy someday.

But now was not the time to think about such things. He quickly banished the messy thoughts from his mind, got out of bed, quickly washed up, ate breakfast, and then went out with his basket.

There are several paths leading from the back of the mountain to the top; one is a main road and the others are smaller paths.

The main road is wide and flat, but it requires a long detour, while the side road is much shorter, but it is rugged and difficult to travel.

Even young people would find it very uncomfortable to walk on such a narrow path full of dirt and stones, but Zhao Dazhu walked as fast as he could, as if he were walking on a wide and flat asphalt road.

Before he knew it, he had reached the mountainside and headed to the place he remembered to search for the Silver Ring Spirit Flower.

Perhaps luck was on Zhao Dazhu's side, because he found it in just half an hour and picked a whole basketful.

The Silver Ring Spirit Flower was exquisitely small and emitted a refreshing fragrance that was very pleasant to smell, making Zhao Dazhu feel quite relaxed and happy.

"Once we get down the mountain, we can buy all the necessary medicines from the small clinic at the village entrance, then go home and prepare the Quick-Regenerating Powder..."

Zhao Dazhu talked to himself, then turned around and prepared to go down the mountain.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a girl's voice came from the dense forest.

"Help...help me..."

"Someone, please save me..."

"You beast, get away from me right now..."

Zhao Dazhu's expression changed slightly, because it was the voice of Li Cuicui, the daughter of the pig butcher Li Guangzong!

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Dazhu immediately grabbed the basket and ran like the wind towards the direction from which the sound came.

In just a short while, Zhao Dazhu saw a wild boar weighing nearly 200 pounds wandering under a big tree in a clearing in the woods ahead.

Li Cuicui was sitting on a branch of that big tree, about three meters above the ground.

Li Cuicui was extremely flustered, her eyes were red with anxiety, and she might burst into tears at any moment.

Zhao Dazhu then put down his basket and shouted, "Cuicui, don't be afraid, Grandpa is here to save you!"

Li Cuicui was overjoyed and hurriedly looked towards Zhao Dazhu.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Zhao Dazhu, Li Cuicui was immediately filled with disappointment.

"How could it be you, you old geezer..." Li Cuicui said with a mournful face.

Zhao Dazhu, who was about to pounce on the wild boar for hand-to-hand combat, almost stumbled and fell to the ground upon hearing this.

"No, what do you mean by that? You're disgusted with me? You don't want me to save you? Then I'm leaving!" Zhao Dazhu said, glaring at him.

Li Cuicui said with a hint of a sob in her voice, "I'm not looking down on you, Uncle Zhao, I'm just worried you can't beat this wild boar..."
