Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 156 Rice fish and mulberry tree!

In addition to crayfish, there were also a large number of creek crabs attracted by the wild boar's internal organs. I don't know how long they were, and they were not small.

Wang Lu also packed a bucket and took it back without any courtesy.

Old Wei was in charge of the dishes himself, while Wang Lu and the veterans were busy cleaning up the crayfish and crabs, having to clean them one by one with a brush.

Until those crayfish were put into the pot, Parker still had some opinions:
"Boss, are you sure these things are really delicious? The area has the longest coastline in Africa. Fresh lobsters are caught every day from Dar es Salaam and shipped to Arusha. They are of high quality and low price. We are completely You can choose those plump guys!”

But soon, this guy gave a slap in the face for his doubts.

This guy has far more crayfish shells piled in front of him than anyone else!

What dumbfounded Wang Lu the most was that this guy had no idea what to do with those crayfish at the beginning. After tasting the taste of a few crayfish, and by observing the actions of others, he was able to master it in a short time without any teacher. He killed the guy on the table who was the fastest at peeling shrimps.

"Shet! These locals are simply a bunch of idiots, allowing these delicacies to flourish in the river! This is simply a shameful waste!"

Seeing this guy chewing the crayfish in his mouth while cursing the locals for being ignorant, Wang Lu was also happy. As expected, no one can escape the law of true flavor when it comes to Chinese delicacies!
Wang Lu also tasted it himself. The taste of these crayfish is unparalleled. Because of their larger size, the meat is relatively plump. It is spicy and juicy after one bite, and the refreshing feeling of a small beer can be felt from The soles of the feet rush all the way to Tianling Gai.

Those creek crabs were turned into a big pot of spicy crabs by Lao Wei. The taste was not much better, but it was more troublesome to eat than crayfish.

"Master, these crabs are not at their fattest right now. In the autumn of September or October, the yellow color in the bellies of these crabs will gradually become fuller, and then they will be delicious."

Old Wei grabbed a spicy crab and said to Wang Lu, while a veteran not far away took a sip of cold beer and suggested:

"Boss, we can definitely get some shrimp and crab seedlings and put them into our rice fields. When the rice seedlings in our rice fields grow up and start to bloom, the lobsters and crabs that grow up eating the rice flowers will taste better. It’s called Xianmei. I raise a lot of them every year in my hometown’s fields, and the rice flower fish is much more delicious than ordinary river fish!”

When Wang Lu heard this, he immediately started to grin. Everyone in the countryside knew about rice flower crabs and rice flower fish. How could he have forgotten it? Let alone ordinary river delicacies, even those delicacies from mountains and seas are sometimes really inferior. These things.

Anyway, there are enough crayfish in the Dome River that fishing is easy.

After simply finishing this meal, Wang Lu and his veterans went out again and conducted another fishing operation in the Dome River, picking out a large number of small crayfish and creek crabs that were obviously still in their infancy. They invested in the ten acres of rice fields in batches. Among them, the brothers Parker and Halafa worked the most vigorously. The Halafa brothers wanted to win Wang Lu's care through hard work, and Parker I was simply conquered by Lao Wei's meal of crayfish.

There are also some fish fry caught in the same arrangement.All of a sudden, the rice fields became lively. Crayfish and creek crabs have very diverse food habits. Organic debris, algae on the bottom of the water, and some insect corpses are all their food sources.

So even in the rice fields, they can't starve. Whether it's the weed debris that has been removed, or the plankton and algae in the rice fields, they can provide nutrients for them. Even the large grassland of the pasture and the nearby Woulu Mountains can provide them with nutrients. All can provide them with a stable source of insects.

At least when we are weeding every day, the corpses of insects that fall into the rice fields can be seen almost everywhere. This is also a benefit of the ranch being in the pure wilderness without industrial pollution. Only the original ecological environment and the rich species can have this kind of situation. Benefits, perhaps this is also the reason why the rice flower fish and rice flower crab are so delicious in terms of texture and taste.

If you were in China, unless you were in a remote mountain village, if you wanted to raise these rice flower crabs and rice flower fish, if you didn't feed some special food in the early stage, I'm afraid those fish and shrimps wouldn't be able to survive the falling rice flowers. At that time, the progress of modernization caused too much damage to the original ecological environment.

Moreover, the suggestions from the veterans, namely Rice Flower Fish, Rice Flower Crab, also opened up Wang Lu's ideas.

The ten acres of rice fields I own seem to be too monotonous. I might consider planting a batch of fruits next to them, which can also play a certain defensive role against those Red River wild boars.

However, Wang Lu was also entangled in the choice of fruit tree varieties, but soon he had an idea.

You can completely copy the domestic mulberry fish pond model!
Mulberry trees can be planted in rice fields and on both sides of the upper reaches of the Dome River. The domestic mulberry-based fish pond model has long been practiced and demonstrated, and it is absolutely feasible.

Of course, Wang Lu mainly took a fancy to the short cycle of planting mulberry trees, unlike other fruit trees that take several years to grow.

The mulberry tree can be said to be full of treasures. The mulberry leaves can be used to raise silkworms, and the mulberries produced are also good fruits. They are quite rich in nutrients, several times more than ordinary fruits!
Generally speaking, the mulberry trees planted in the current year will be able to bear fruits, that is, mulberries, in April and May of the next spring. Of course, the taste of mulberries at this time is not very good. If you want to eat delicious mulberries, you must Just wait until the third year.

At that time, we will find tourists who come to the ranch to collect a wave of wool, and they will all pay for the picking, which will generate income for the ranch and add another diversion project to the ranch.

Taking into account all the advantages, Wang Lu had no reason not to choose to plant mulberry trees.

"It's just a bit troublesome to bring mulberry saplings from China. I wonder if Lao Qin's agricultural reclamation group has any options."

Wang Lu always had the temperament to do whatever he said. Just when Wang Lu was about to consult with the Farm Reclamation Group, after Parker learned of Wang Lu's idea, he hurriedly stopped Wang Lu.

"Boss, there is no need for you to spend a lot of time. In fact, there are mulberry trees in Africa, and the mulberry industry in many countries has developed very well. There are also some local farmers who rely on cultivating mulberry trees to survive. Go find Harris. I believe he will find a way, which is much easier and faster than your compatriots looking for trouble!"
