Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 168 Huge profits from robbery!
Even Wang Lu, who was just having a bad taste at first, was now shocked by the number of cashew nuts stored by these ground squirrels.

He never imagined that there could be dozens of kilograms of cashews and other miscellaneous nuts hidden under the ground. If converted into food, it would be enough for an adult to eat for a year.

"Boss, don't underestimate these guys. Their ability to collect food is not weak. Sometimes when surviving in the wild, if you haven't eaten for a long time, encountering a ground squirrel's nest can be life-saving!"

Parker said as he took out all the food reserves of these ground squirrels.

Not far away, several ground squirrels were peeking in this direction from behind a small mound. After seeing the situation here, they also let out dissatisfied cries.

It's okay to take out other people's grain depots. I'm missing a great virtue...
Looking at the cashew nuts still stained with soil, Wang Lu hesitated for a moment.

"Parker, is the food of these ground squirrels clean? I mean there will be no problem if you eat them, right? I don't want to go to Dr. Hank's clinic for treatment like that guy Harris."

Wang Lu has long heard that there are various viruses emerging in Africa, such as the previous Ebola, which is frightening.

However, after hearing this, Parker continued to pack the cashew nuts with an indifferent expression, waved his hand and said:
"Don't worry, boss, these ground squirrels living in the wild are not the rats living in dirty sewers in the city. They are even more concerned about cleanliness than some humans!"

As he spoke, Parker pointed to the newly excavated ground squirrel nest underneath. Facts speak louder than words.

In the nests of these ground squirrels, apart from the scattered soil, there is really no other garbage or foreign objects, and the entire cave is very dry and clean.

Even Lao Wei added a sentence at the back:
"Boss, in our hometown, the guys who dig holes in the ground to hide food are all clean. We used to catch them and roast them when we were young. The meat is so delicious!"

Wang Lu felt a little relieved now. However, these cashews cannot be eaten raw. Raw cashews contain a certain amount of toxins. It may be okay for these ground squirrels living in the wild, but it is not suitable for humans. .

But if you take it back and fry it in oil, it will be fine. It can be used as an appetizer.

The most important thing is that judging from the food reserves of these ground squirrels, Wang Lu speculated that there must be a certain amount of wild cashew nuts distributed in the nearby mountains.

Otherwise, these ground squirrels would not have been able to store so many cashews so easily!

You know, cashew nuts are an important source of local economy. In addition to coffee and sisal, the export volume of cashew nuts is considerable.

If you can have a large nut forest in your pasture, it will undoubtedly bring you more benefits.

Wang Lu even thought about using cashew nuts as the main planting project of the ranch, but he never had time to implement it, but now it seems that it doesn’t need to be so troublesome!
"Parker, I want to know the exact location where these guys collect nuts. Is there any way?"

Almost as soon as Wang Lu asked the question, Parker understood his boss's intention and immediately replied without any hesitation:
"No problem, the range of these guys' activities won't be too far, so we only need to search a few nearby mountains. It won't take too much time!"

Then Parker took action, and the group left the ground squirrel's nest and returned it to its original owner.After the ground squirrels returned to their nests, they looked at the direction Wang Lu and his group were leaving and cursed for a while before lowering their heads to pick up the nuts that had been missed by this group of ungrateful bandits.

In fact, these ground squirrels are very capable of digging holes. Even if the hole is destroyed by digging, it only takes a matter of minutes to dig out a new hole for shelter!
Wang Lu and his party, who rode dune motorcycles to the foot of the other side of the Woulu Mountains, also brought all their equipment, and then dispersed up the mountain to search for the location of possible wild cashew forests.

Facts have proved that Wang Lu's luck is really good today.

It took almost no effort, and when he climbed to the second hill, he saw something in sight.

Thousands of cashew trees appeared in front of me without any warning, with plump cashew nuts hanging on the branches. Parker, who was following Wang Lu, immediately started shouting:
"God, these cashews are all ripe and ready for picking. It seems like this is a gift from God to you!"

Because the Woulu Mountain Range is too vast, Wang Lu's previous exploration of it was limited to the living area. Wang Lu basically didn't have time to explore the mountains on the prairie side. Unexpectedly, he gave it to him the first time. What a surprise.

At this time, Wang Lu truly realized how rich the entire Woulu Mountains was, just like an unopened treasure house, waiting for him to hunt for treasures.

Seeing those cashew nuts wrapped in red or yellow peels and hanging happily on the branches, Wang Lu felt a little bit of guilt for those ground squirrels, but they immediately disappeared without a trace.

These cashews grow in the Woulu Mountains. They are my private property. These ground squirrels have been harvesting their wool for who knows how long. Let's take some of our own things. Can that be called robbery?
"It looks like we have to organize the picking of these cashew trees!"

Wang Lu murmured to himself, and initially estimated that the area of ​​this cashew forest was about a few dozen acres, and it was not very large.

Parker on the side also echoed:

"It seems that the yield of these cashew nuts is very good. One acre can produce about [-] kilograms. Judging from their size, they should be fetched at a good price. I really don't know why the yield of these nuts that are not taken care of in the mountains and forests is higher than that of those grown in the forest. The ones in the garden are even higher!”

Can one acre produce two hundred kilograms of cashew nuts?

Wang Lu, who hadn't taken it seriously at first, suddenly felt how short-sighted he was.

According to the market purchase price of ten US dollars per kilogram, this acre of wild cashew nuts can bring me at least two thousand US dollars in profit.

Then these dozens of acres of cashew nut forests...

In other words, with one unintentional move, I robbed those ground squirrels and robbed myself of hundreds of thousands in profit!

The most important thing is that Wang Lu also plans to expand the scale of planting these cashew nuts. After all, the local soil and climate are very suitable for the growth of these cashew nuts!
