Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 229 New species?
Just when the corn harvest was about to be harvested, the system that Wang Lu had been pretending to be dead for more than half a year suddenly came online again!

"Congratulations to the host, you have harvested the first crop of food, and you have taken a solid step towards building a small African Jiangnan!"

"Reward: High-yielding and delicious food always makes people feel happy, so please keep sowing the seeds!"

Wang Lu was also a little confused as he savored the long-lost system announcement.

What the hell is the reward of this system this time?

That's it?Is this the end?Oral reward, right?

Wang Lu, who didn't get any substantial reward at all, was a little disappointed. He planned to torture the dog system, but he also found that after pretending to be dead for a while, the dog system went offline again without any response at all.

Recalling the crude page when he was fooled by this system for the first time, Wang Lu seriously suspected that this was a semi-finished product full of bugs...
But fortunately, Wang Lu no longer had any hope of repaying it, so he simply forgot about it.

In addition to the fresh corn, there is also a large amount of corn stalks waiting to be processed in the corn field. All of these corn stalks have been crushed.

Corn straw has a wide range of uses. It is a good choice to use it to soak farmers' manure, or to put it directly back into the ground to increase soil fertility.

But there is no need for these corn stalks in the land of our own pasture, so it is a good choice to feed them to the cattle and sheep raised in captivity.

After eating grass all day, you have to give them a change of taste, and the nutrition of corn stalks is very high, especially fresh corn stalks. There are many farmers in China who specialize in purchasing this stuff!

Wang Lu immediately transformed into a sheepherder and directed Parker to throw the crushed corn stalks directly into the ground. Then he drove all the Boer goats, African zebu and other livestock into the cornfield, leaving them alone. Livestock eating.

As expected, fresh corn stalks are quite attractive to those cattle and sheep.

Hundreds of cattle and sheep began to quickly eat the corn stalks in the fields. Wang Lu estimated that it would take less than a day or two for them to eat all the corn stalks. Even if there were any left, they would be gone. It’s not a waste if it’s all mixed in the ground and turned into fertilizer again.

At the same time, after Wang Lu briefly learned about cold storage equipment online, he decided to choose a big brand. Although it was more expensive, the quality was guaranteed, but the goods had to be shipped from Dar es Salaam.

Wang Lu's idea is to build a small cold storage of about two to three hundred square meters. Anyway, he just stores some food crops.

The growth cycle of these corns is only three or four months. Africa has a stable climate all year round and fertile soil. In theory, corn fields that have been harvested can be planted again as soon as they are prepared. .

Therefore, Wang Lu only needs to store enough rations for the pasture for three or four months, and then he will be able to harvest fresh corn again.

As for those potatoes, the growth cycle is shorter, and they can mature in a little more than two months. This was the case with the previous batch of potatoes!
This means that the cold storage area of ​​the ranch does not need to be too large, so that the construction cost and equipment cost will not be too high. Wang Lu estimated that it only needs about [-] US dollars!

In addition to the construction of cold storage, Wang Lu is also busy preparing for rice harvest.On the second day of corn harvest, Lao Wei led a group of veterans to dig holes in the rice fields and put all the water inside into the ring ditch outside. The rice crabs and small crabs raised in the rice fields All the lobsters were also moved to the ditch to survive.

The rice has been filled. The water will be drained and exposed to direct sunlight for a week. When the soil in the field is hard, the harvester can go directly to the field to harvest.

In China, a certain amount of water must be put in every day at this time to ensure the most basic needs of the rice inside. However, during the rainy season in the pasture, it rains every morning, even this process is omitted.

During this period, Wang Lu also disposed of the corn with a group of veterans and the black men under Amanda. In addition to keeping enough rations for everyone in the ranch, the rest was given to some familiar people such as Lao Sang. Des, James and Professors Qin and Zhao all gave some away.

As for the rest, it can only be dried in the sun and ground into cornmeal. You can also steam some steamed buns to try.

The cold storage equipment purchased from Dar es Salaam was also transported to the ranch as scheduled. However, the construction of the cold storage factory still took several days as the engineering team worked overtime. This also forced Wang Lu to ask James for help. , transported the fresh corn to the cold storage in his hotel.

In order to better serve high-end customers, the hotel run by James also built a cold storage to store high-end ingredients.

Wang Lu only occupied it temporarily, so there was no big problem.

About six days later, Wang Lu checked the situation in the rice field and found that the land had been completely dried. He also drove a Lovol 704 into the field in person. The rice harvesting equipment was equipped with another set of harvesting devices. Among these pastures, They are all prepared.

However, in addition to the staff at the ranch, two experts, Professor Qin and Professor Zhao, also ran to the ranch.

"You kid, you won't call us two old bones until the crops are harvested. Do you think you can eat alone?"

Professor Qin was the first to smile and curse at Wang Lu who was in the Lovol 704 cockpit. Wang Lu was also helpless. These two were just picking up their bowls to eat and putting down their bowls to curse!
It's as if I didn't give these two my new corn!
"To be honest, the corn you planted tastes really good. We two old bones are not used to eating local food in this unfamiliar place, so we can only come to you to beat the autumn wind. Got it!"

Seeing that these two old professors were completely shameless, Wang Lu could only say helplessly:
"You two, don't tell me that you can't eat rice here. This thing is very easy to buy, okay?"

"Can the rice grown locally compare with our domestic varieties? Besides, can the old rice taste as good as the new rice? Anyway, we two old men have to catch the autumn wind and go back today!"

"Okay, okay, I'll keep it to your satisfaction, but you have to let me harvest the rice first!"

"It's almost there!"

After dealing with the two ranch technical guides, Wang Lu officially started the rice harvesting work.

With the help of modern agricultural machinery, the work of harvesting rice goes very smoothly. It does not require too many tedious procedures at all. It is much easier than manpower!
