Almost twenty acres of wasteland, though at risk of flooding, if you think about it, renting for ten years for only five hundred yuan, it's not really expensive.
As long as you're willing to work hard, you can grow anything to cover the cost.
But that's how it is these days, regular households don't have a strong economic awareness, and they don't think about growing things to sell. The town is only so big and there are only a few people who often sell vegetables. These days most families are not short of vegetables, and those who sell vegetables haven't made a fortune either.
As for growing other things, newly reclaimed land has low output, which is not cost-effective. So many acres of wasteland, the weeds and shrubs may have been rooted for many years, ordinary people would get a headache just thinking about it.
This stuff is really hard to clear, plus the land is full of gullies, and there's the danger of flooding. Who would want to put in the effort to clean it up?
