Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 207 A bumper harvest of rice flower crabs!
The days passed slowly, and the expected rainy season finally came.

After the time officially entered November, Wang Lu ushered in the first rain of the short rainy season in just a few days. After experiencing several months of dry season, feeling the early morning rain, the entire ranch was filled with excitement. There was a smell of earth washed away by rain and the fragrance of pasture.

"Oh, it wouldn't be so annoying if the rainy season didn't make the place wet all the time. Being dry all day is not a good thing either!"

Parker looked at the rain and said with emotion, while Old Wei looked happy.

In the eyes of traditional Chinese people like him, as long as there is rain, it means that the crops can be adequately moisturized. Even pastures, whether they are rice fields or corn fields, can be well watered by the Dome River. No need to worry about water shortage...
Of course, as soon as the rainy season arrives, the pressure of watering the grain crops and the fruits and vegetables in the vegetable garden is relieved. The rain every morning is enough for irrigation, and there is no need to waste manpower on special watering.

However, the precipitation in the short rainy season is not as torrential and lasting as the long rainy season. It gradually stops after a while. But even so, there is still obvious water flowing through the newly dug drainage canal led by Wang Lu and the veterans.

This also made Wang Lu feel lucky. If he hadn't been prepared in advance, even if he could survive this short rainy season, it would be terrible if the long rainy season comes in the future and the drainage measures in the entire living area are basically zero.

With the arrival of the rainy season, the water in the Dome River has become increasingly abundant.

Although there is not much precipitation, all the water flowing down from the Woulu Mountains converges into the Dome River. Coupled with the abundant rainfall of the groundwater itself, the water level of the entire Dome River rises. Some.

This also made Wang Lu start to worry about the flower crabs and crayfish raised in his rice fields on both sides of the Dome River.

Don't let it rain continuously during the rainy season, and the water level in the fields will rise, causing all the shrimps and crabs that you have raised for a long time to disappear.

Although it was said that the trench had been dug, Wang Lu was still a little worried, so he went over to inspect it himself.

This inspection made Wang Lu extremely pleasantly surprised.

Facts have proved that Wang Lu was overly worried. It was the first rain of the rainy season, and the situation he was worried about would not happen at all.

Across the distance, Wang Lu saw that the seedlings in the rice fields had fully grown, and the green poles had become extremely thick. They had long lost their original shape, and each one had grown ears of rice, and even There is already a dense layer of rice flowers floating on the water in the rice fields.

"After a while, when these rice ears bear grains and enter the grain-filling period, the harvest will not be far away!"

Lao Wei is very experienced in the growth of crops, and he can blurt it out with a little judgment.

When Wang Lu thought about being able to eat the white rice he grew, he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The corn stalks in the corn field over there are equally good, and the fertile soil is destined to ensure good food crops.

Aside from these crops that still need some time to grow, what surprised Wang Lu the most were the rice flower crabs and crayfish he raised in the rice fields.

Standing on the field dam, from time to time, you can see rice flower crabs lurking on the water surface, preying on the rice flowers floating on the water surface. In just a moment, Wang Lu caught the plump figures of these guys.

"Guigui, these rice flowers are so nourishing!" Wang Lu couldn't help but sigh. The rice flower crabs that grew up eating rice flowers were all incredibly fertile, and the same was true for the crayfish, which were quite big.

Parker, who was standing next to Wang Lu, didn't have much change in his expression. In his eyes, these crabs that grew in fresh water were nothing worth savoring. They were just tasteless chicken ribs, inferior to sea crabs.

As for the crayfish in the boss's mouth, he was even less interested. Basically no one ate them either locally or in North America where he grew up.

But Lao Wei was different. He said with a beaming face:

"Master, the crab paste of these rice flower crabs is probably overflowing. It is the time when they are plump and plump. We are in for a treat!"

"What are you waiting for? Call your brothers and catch these guys. Let's have a try!"

With the order from Wang Lu, his boss, Old Wei immediately called over all the veterans except those on guard duty through the walkie-talkie. He took them with him and started to go to the fields to catch shrimps and crabs!
Wang Lu also went into battle himself, rolled up his trousers and went to the fields. He often did this kind of thing when he was a child in his hometown, and it was pinching him with his hands!

Soon there was a commotion in the rice fields on both sides of the Dome River, and within a short time, several small buckets were prepared on the bank and were filled to the brim.

At first, Wang Lu considered that there were so many mouths, so he put a lot of shrimps and crabs in when he released them. Even after the ring ditch outside the rice field was built, he also released some rice flower crabs.

Therefore, just two rice fields harvested hundreds of kilograms of rice flower crabs and crayfish, which should be enough for these twenty or so mouths. Wang Lu was even lucky enough to get a few plump ones. Wang Lu had already tasted the delicacy of river eel, and he would not let it go now.

After Wang Lu and the others returned with their loads of loot, the sky cleared up completely and the temperature gradually climbed.

Almost everyone worked together to sort out the crayfish and rice flower crabs, and Lao Wei was the chef.

After the oil was heated in the pot, the spicy base brought from China played a big role. After the crayfish were put into the pot, the whole living area was filled with a delicious and spicy aroma.

As for the rice flower crabs, most of them are steamed and eaten with a umami taste. A small part is also mixed with the crayfish to make spicy crabs for everyone to choose from.

Wang Lu also asked Parker to prepare a few bottles of cold beer for each person. How could it be possible to eat crayfish without beer?

There are also freshly grilled beef and mutton skewers, which are grilled on the rack nearby until they are sizzling with oil. You can eat them at any time, not to mention how fragrant they are!
Before Wang Lu started eating, a familiar figure greeted him in the living area.

"King! My friend, what kind of delicacies have you made? It looks like I can't miss it!"

Seeing the slobbery look on Harris's face, Wang Lu seriously suspected that this guy had set up surveillance in the living area, otherwise why would this guy come running over as soon as he had finished eating?

Or maybe this guy has a dog's nose and comes here when he smells it, otherwise it would be hard to explain!
