Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 111 Saffron?
It’s not a problem at all!

Anyway, all you have to do is pay some sweet potato vines!
Now, Wang Lu repeated his old trick and harvested some sweet potato vines. Using this as a lure, he directly coaxed these African buffaloes to work as coolies.

I temporarily found a bunch of snakeskin bags, all of which were leftover from the previous purchase of supplies. After simply sewing them together, they put them on the backs of the African buffaloes to form a sash.

In this way, the African buffaloes can carry those chain saws and boxes of oil up the mountain.

Now that they were traveling lightly, everyone felt much more relaxed.

Even the felled oak can be transported down the mountain in this way.

Wang Lu unceremoniously sat astride the back of one of the strongest African buffaloes. He gently pinched the big buffalo with his legs and moved forward obediently.

"Boss, I swear I have never seen an African buffalo with such a docile temper! You are really awesome at this!"

Parker yelled with excitement. Needless to say, this guy learned the words "Awesome" from domestic social software.

"Parker, it seems that you have made good progress in your Chinese learning recently!"

Wang Lu just complimented him, and Parker immediately looked proud and said triumphantly:

"Of course, I have even started to reply to netizens on Chinese social platforms recently. I have to say that you Chinese netizens are very enthusiastic. It's just a pity that I can't understand what they said in reply to me!"

Hearing this, Wang Lu was also surprised and doubtful. Is this idiot's Chinese proficiency at this level?

Then Parker showed off his reply message on the Chinese social networking site.

Wang Lu took a quick look and was really surprised to find that there were at least 99+ replies in this guy's private message reply column!
But when Wang Lu took it over and took a look, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry.

Good guy, these 99 private messages are all about this guy!

Wang Lu casually clicked on this guy's reply record, and then he realized what was going on.

Parker, this idiot, left a message under the video of a martial arts blogger with millions of followers:

"Brother Chest, your videos are great, you are such a pure bastard!"

Wang Lu naturally knew that this guy just felt from the bottom of his heart that his kung fu skills were good. The word "cow horse" was a very high compliment to him!
But on domestic social platforms, this is a term full of ridicule.

"If you can do it, go ahead, if you can't do it, don't do it!"

"What kind of cow and horse are you?"

"Eating melon seeds will bring out the bugs. If you open the homepage ID in a foreign country, the taste will be right!"

Looking at these private messages, Wang Lu burst into laughter and quickly explained to this guy the true meaning of cow and horse.

The next moment, Parker looked at Wang Lu with a constipated expression and asked:

"Boss, are all these replies scolding me?"

Wang Lu suppressed a smile and nodded, and the other veterans who were traveling with him also smiled knowingly.

"Let me tell you! Why are those words in Google Translate so rude!"

Wang Lu couldn't help it when he heard it. The co-author also tried to translate the replies given to him by these domestic netizens.

For a time, there was a cheerful atmosphere on the mountain road. "Boss, you should have told me earlier!"

Parker muttered helplessly. It was obvious that this incident had a big impact on his enthusiasm for learning Chinese.

Fortunately, Wang Lu quickly promised to teach him some hot Internet words so that he could be as comfortable as a fish in water on Chinese social networking sites.

Amidst the laughter and laughter, everyone arrived at the oak forest and went directly to work.

The chainsaw was fired, and soon there were sounds of work in the forest. As for the African buffaloes, they were waiting outside the forest, looking for food on the ground with their heads lowered.

These guys are still waiting to get some sweet potato vines from Wang Lu when they go back!

The chain saw roared, and the oak trees were felled one by one, and then cut into suitable wood sections. When the time comes, they will be taken to a nearby wood processing factory to be processed into wooden boards that can be used to make oak barrels!

It is no problem for an African buffalo to carry hundreds of kilograms of oak wood. Even the calf is carrying dozens of kilograms of wood, and it would be a lot of effort to rely on human power.

In this way, the other veterans stayed in the oak forest to work. Wang Lu took Parker, a fool, and several veterans to transport the oak sections that had been cut down in advance with the African buffaloes back to the pasture.

Division of labor and cooperation can lead to higher efficiency.

But Wang Lu was not lazy. After all, those African buffaloes only recognized him.

After returning to the ranch, Wang Lu fed the African buffalo some sweet potato vines as promised, so that these guys continued to work as coolies willingly.

Just when Wang Lu was returning to the oak forest with these African buffaloes, riding on the backs of the buffaloes, he had a wide view, and across a hill, Wang Lu's line of sight was suddenly attracted by a strange color.

A flash of purple not far away is particularly eye-catching.

Wang Lu clamped his legs together and drove the African buffalo under him over.

When he got closer, Wang Lu's expression became more and more surprised.

On the top of this open mountain, there are several small purple flowers with unique styles, but the stamens inside are red.

Wang Lu immediately thought of a very famous medicinal material in China, saffron!
Contrary to the subconscious impression of the public, saffron is not produced in a minority province in the country, but is native to Iran.

The main reason why Wang Lu was able to plant a few of this thing's looks was because it was incredibly expensive!

It is said that the price of this thing is almost the same as the same weight of gold.

It’s just that this product has extremely high requirements for the production environment, and is only distributed in Iran, the country of origin, and a few other production areas.

In the last century, Shanghai in China tried to introduce saffron and cultivate it locally.

It was successful, but the efficacy is very different from the variety originating in Iran, and the price is also very different. However, there are many unscrupulous dealers who mix the two kinds of saffron to make profits.

"I have heard that some countries in West Africa have tried to introduce this thing, but I didn't expect it to be available here? Maybe it grows in the wild, but I don't know how effective it is!"

Wang Lu took out his mobile phone and checked the saffron pictures and information again and again before coming to the conclusion. These little flowers were really saffron, which immediately made him interested.

Wang Lu then greeted Parker, Old Wei and other veterans who were following behind him, and asked them to search nearby to see if there were any other traces of saffron.

Fortunately, the hill is not big, so the results were obtained quickly.
