Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 23 The balance arrives
According to Wang Lu's original plan, the first thing he thought of when he had such a large pasture was to raise cattle and sheep. It seemed that becoming a large farmer was also a good choice.

But after learning about the low prices of local beef and mutton, Wang Lu decisively gave up the idea.

The cattle and sheep breeding cycle is not short in nature. In the end, you will end up losing money and making a profit. It is really unnecessary and thankless.

When the time comes, I will breed enough to make some meat skewers and make some small barbecues.

Harris also enthusiastically expressed that he could provide some technical guidance for the construction of chicken coops and cowsheds in Wanglu Ranch, and he only needed a small request.

"King! Do all those delicious wild mushrooms grow in the Woulu Mountains? Can I go up the mountain to pick some? As you know, my family farm is at the foot of the Woulu Mountains. Please rest assured that I will only pick these wild mushrooms."

What reason did Wang Lu have to reject a foreigner who was conquered by fungi?
In the end, Harris happily drove away in the pickup truck, while Parker patted his chest and said that he was fully capable of the simple task of building chicken coops and bullpens.

"But boss, we have to cut down some raw materials first."

"It doesn't matter. There is a lot of suitable wood in the Woulu Mountains. Don't forget to bring your tools!"

It is not difficult to build chicken coops and cowsheds. Even his father in the countryside can easily build them, not to mention that Harris, the technical director, is here at the moment, so Wang Lu has no intention of calling any engineering team to do it for him. Complete this task.

It's enough for him and Parker, the brute.

Wang Lu and Parker took the chainsaws up the mountain and planned to cut down some wood, and also collected the cat poop coffee.

Fortunately, civet cats have the habit of defecating at fixed points. It didn’t take much effort for Wang Lu and Parker to find a large pile of civet cat feces that was rich in coffee beans.

The only difficulty of the job is that Wang Lu has to select the feces containing coffee beans among the 100% pure civet cat feces. Fortunately, the cat poop coffee is very obvious, and the coffee beans are all clumped together. From the appearance Very easy to distinguish.

“Boss, this is the highest quality cat poop coffee. When civets eat coffee cherries, they will only eat the sweetest coffee cherries. And the coffee beans that are artificially force-fed to civet cats are often not selected, so the quality is simply not comparable. Serve these pure wild cat poop coffee.”

Parker said while picking up shit.

Wang Lu had already learned about the specific price of cat poop coffee on the Internet last night. The price of pure cat poop coffee beans on the market will definitely not be less than five hundred US dollars per pound.

This is the reason why Wang Lu is willing to pick up shit.

After working hard all afternoon, Wang Lu and Parker picked up a total of two kilograms of cat poop coffee beans, which was considered a good harvest.

"Boss, these cat poop coffees still need to be roasted and processed. After two months when the coffee cherries are officially mature, it will be the time for the civets to eat a lot of coffee berries. I'm afraid we will be very busy by then!"

Listening to Parker's words, Wang Lu even began to look forward to his career of picking up shit.

Then when going down the mountain, Parker carried the chain saw and went to the nearby forest to cut a few trees, planning to dig out some chicken coops and take a look tomorrow.

Parker is worthy of the title of bully. Hundreds of kilograms of wood were put on his shoulders with a roar, and the muscles in his arms soared that they almost burst the army green T-shirt.

"Boss, just leave these to me. I will be able to move all these wood down the mountain before dark."

Parker turned around as he spoke, only to see that Wang Lu behind him had already lifted a piece of wood that was as heavy as his shoulder.

"Hou Li Crab! Boss, this is not a power that your size can possess! I understand, Kung Fu! Is this the power of Kung Fu?!"

Parker's face was full of excitement, but Wang Lu's face was calm. The strong physique given by the system was not just talk.

In this way, the two of them worked together to move all the wood to the wooden house at the bottom of the mountain. Parker was responsible for driving the Raptor to transport the wood to a nearby processing plant for processing into wooden boards. He was busy until late at night before leaving.

In the early morning of the next day, in addition to the movement of the drilling rig, Wang Lu also heard the tinkling noise.

Parker was already busy, simply assembling the processed wooden boards into a square chicken coop with iron nails.

As for the guinea fowls bought from Harris Farm, they were already foraging for food under the leadership of the three guinea fowls.

But as soon as Parker saw Wang Lu, he reported bad news to him.

"Boss, our technical director may not be able to perform his duties! Poor guy Harris was sent to the hospital in Arusha last night."

Wang Lu was a little confused when he heard this. He was a good person yesterday and ended up in the hospital in just one night?

But after Parker finished speaking, Wang Lu didn't know what to say.

"It is said that this unlucky guy went insane after having dinner. He was talking nonsense and had vomiting and diarrhea." Parker was still a little confused, but Wang Lu understood it all at once.

If there were other problems, Wang Lu really didn't have any idea, but the symptoms described by Parker made sense.

"Could this guy be picking fungi and picking back the white stems of the red umbrella?"

Parker was a field guide and had a certain understanding of the toxicity of some wild crops. After learning Wang Lu's judgment, he could only pray for Harris.

"My fault, I forgot to warn him!"

Wang Lu was also a little helpless, while Parker comforted Wang Lu and said:

"Don't worry, boss, this guy Harris will be fine. I will convey your apology and tell him that not all varieties of wild mushrooms are edible. Let this be a lesson to him."

In fact, as Parker said, Harris was discharged from the hospital on the same day. It seemed that he had just accidentally eaten some less toxic varieties, and his vomiting and diarrhea were already the limit.

When Wang Lu saw this white man with a naive temperament, he also expressed his concern, especially telling him not to pick wild mushrooms casually in the future.

Such an episode did not affect Wang Lu's construction. Parker successfully built several chicken coops under the guidance of Harris, but the guinea fowls didn't seem to like them very much.

Especially Wang Lu found that the three adult guinea fowls were too unreliable.

Wang Lu originally thought that with these three guinea fowls watching, there wouldn't be any big problems with the guinea fowl seedlings. However, when he came back that night, only a few of the hundred guinea fowl seedlings were visible to the naked eye. He didn't even know that. Whereabouts.

The situation was still the same the next day. Wang Lu realized at this time that the ability of these guinea fowls to raise babies was simply worrying.

This forced Wang Lu to urgently ask Parker to purchase a batch of wooden strips from a nearby wood processing factory. He simply circled a pasture and allowed the guinea fowls to move around in it. The inexplicable disappearance of the guinea fowl seedlings was considered to be normal. Appeared again.

But it is not without good news. After four days of hard work, Hubble's engineering team finally drilled the well that Wang Lu needed, and also imported it according to Wang Lu's requirements using domestic styles. It has been reinforced.

I have to say that the quality of the groundwater under the ranch is really good, and the well water that comes up is extremely sweet. Of course, this has a lot to do with the local backward or non-existent industry. Groundwater without industrial pollution is basically The quality won’t be any worse!

The electricity in the town was finally connected to the ranch, but when the last telegraph pole was erected, the black workers hired by the town showed obvious signs of being foreigners.

In the end, Wang Lu could only promise a tip of five dollars per person, and this made the gang of men willingly finish the work at hand.

This was also the first time that Wang Lu was taught a lesson by the locals about the skills of foreign workers. If a good guy can do several hands of work, he will never finish it all at once, and if he can be lazy, he will never work.

They are completely different from the motivated black guys on the Hubble Engineering Team.

"Boss, this is the real situation in the area. In fact, guys like them who are willing to work hard to get a ration are already considered good. Like the guys you met in Baria Town before who only extort tourists, they are not I would be willing to do this kind of work.”

For a moment, Wang Lu didn't even know how to refute Parker.

Fortunately, a piece of better news directly dispelled Wang Lu's bad mood.

"Good news, boss, your two nuggets of gold have been successfully sold by Sotheby's at an auction in North America. The other party has transferred the balance to you. Congratulations!"

Sanders calmly informed Wang Lu of the news on the phone.

After Wang Lu learned that the remaining amount paid to him by Sotheby's auction house was still as high as 150 million US dollars, he felt completely refreshed.

Wang Lu never expected that the two nuggets of gold would be worth a full 350 million US dollars, which was far beyond his estimate. It was more than 2000 million yuan!

Finally, Sanders gave an explanation:
"Boss, I have to say that the two pieces of nugget gold produced by your ranch are of really good quality. They have very few impurities and are pure in variety. They are rare products. If they were not too small in size, I believe its price would be even higher. Beyond your expectations!”

In addition, Sanders also brought another news to Wang Lu:
"I already have a good choice of the construction company you asked me to pay attention to. Maybe you would be willing to meet with their person in charge!"

Hearing this, Wang Lu suddenly became interested. This meant that he finally no longer had to live in a small shabby wooden house!

"Of course! But I hope the other party can be more reliable. You know I don't want to waste too much energy on these things."

Wang Lu was really frightened by the black men who were doing foreign work, so he could only ask Sanders to help check it.

"You can rest assured, I can assure you that you will probably give up this worry after seeing the other person!"
