Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 238 Cutting paint!

Soon, a world in which only Wang Wei was injured was achieved.

As for Zhou Rou, her head had been completely buried in her chest. The crimson color on her neck revealed her current state. She could only respond in a low voice:

"Uncle and aunt, I'm fine, I'm almost fine!"

At this time, Wang Wei was simply listening to the sounds of nature, and she had to be Sister Zhou Rou!

There is no harm without comparison. The little girl glared at the old man who sold her without hesitation. Wang Lu was also helpless. The fighting power of the old couple in this state was too terrifying. He I can only be shameless once.

As expected, the old couple were quite satisfied with Wang Lu's performance. With a smile, they took Zhou Rou to the side to apply the medicine, and kept repeating:

"What a lovely girl!"

Zhou Rou couldn't even lift her head, and the blood-red color on her face never faded.

Wang Lu took advantage of this opportunity and ran away quickly, but he was not idle. He took Parker with him and went up the mountain. He planned to go to check the specific situation of the lacquer trees. If possible, he would organize Amanda and the black workers to carry out the inspection. Cut off the paint.

Of course, before this, Wang Lu also learned from Wang Wei's experience and lessons, and put on a full set of protective equipment. There were very few exposed parts of his body, only two eyeballs, so as not to accidentally injure him. If you fall into the trap, you will suffer the consequences.

Parker and the veterans who followed followed suit.

Soon, under the guidance of the veteran, Wang Lu found the forest near the natural rough diamond slope.

From a distance, Wang Lu saw that the buds on the branches of the sumach tree were indeed very similar to the buds of the Chinese toon. If you didn't have enough life experience, it would be difficult to tell the difference between the two.

Then Wang Lu focused his attention on the lacquer trees. This kind of deciduous tree generally reaches a height of about 20 meters. The bark shows irregular longitudinal cracks, mixed with gray and white, and is no different from most trees in the mountain forest. There is such a big difference that it is really difficult for ordinary people without special preparations to distinguish this thing. If you are not careful, you will get caught.

However, Wang Lu still sniffed slightly and smelled a faint strange smell.

Combined with Wang Lu's newly acquired knowledge about lacquer trees, he knew in his heart that this smell was emitted by the so-called urushiol. Some sensitive people would have allergic reactions just by smelling this smell...
This smell also allowed Wang Lu to officially confirm the specific identity of these deciduous trees, which must be sumac trees.

In order to further verify the identity of these sumac trees, Wang Lu also gestured to Parker. The guy immediately picked up the saber on his waist, then stepped forward and used his gloves to hold the handle of the knife and cut it on a sumac tree in front. Two holes of suitable depth form a V shape.

Not long after, Wang Lu saw drops of milky white liquid seeping out of the tree, and then converging into a stream flowing down along the V-shaped wound cut by the saber.

This thing is raw paint liquid!As long as a container is placed under the wound of the tree, the raw paint liquid can be continuously collected like tapping rubber. Moreover, the initial state of this stuff is very similar to the juice of natural rubber. But after a period of time, it is fully exposed to the air. The milky white lacquer sap will gradually turn into brown, which is its most common appearance on the market.

"Parker, I suggest you don't touch it. It will be far more difficult to clean than you think!"

Wang Lu gave his advice to Parker who was eager to try, and Parker also stretched out his hand in a nonchalant manner:

"Don't worry, boss, I won't make trouble for myself. After all, I saw what the guys looked like just now!"

After contact with the lacquer sap, it will be poisonous, that is, a so-called allergic reaction will occur. Wang Wei and the veterans are proof of this, and they only came into contact with these lacquer trees, and did not directly come into contact with the lacquer sap...

In addition to being able to "bite", its adhesion is also quite strong. The ancient lacquerware in China was produced by processing raw lacquer as paint. There have been some archaeological discoveries of lacquerware that have been buried underground for thousands of years. After cleaning it, it was still as clean as new, which shows the chemical stability of this thing!

Of course, precisely because of this characteristic that this thing is widely recognized as a natural paint, the price has naturally increased.

The market price of raw lacquer is generally one to two hundred per kilogram, and even the price of high-quality raw lacquer exported to other countries in China has reached 600 yuan per kilogram.

The price of this thing immediately made Wang Lu excited. Soon Wang Lu ordered Parker and the veterans to spread out and start to check the scale of these sumac trees to see how much profit they could bring to the ranch.

At present, Wang Lu feels more and more that the Woulu Mountains are really a treasure. There are so many resources that can be used and exploited here!
Especially the wild coffee forest, rubber forest... and these sumac trees in front of me were all free profits.

All you have to pay is some low labor costs!
Soon Parker replied to Wang Lu:

"Hell, the mountains around here are all covered with this kind of lacquer tree. I can't even count the number of them. Boss, I think we can definitely use it as an industry on the ranch!"

Wang Lu was overjoyed when he heard this.

He immediately led everyone down the mountain and said hello to the family members who were digging for diamonds on the slopes where natural rough diamonds were buried, lest they get lost and come into contact with the lacquer trees like Wang Wei, causing unnecessary trouble. .

Then Wang Lu found Amanda and told him about the lacquer forest. He planned to start lacquer cutting operations on the ranch as soon as possible, so that economic value could be generated as soon as possible.

These black laborers were carefully selected by Wang Lu, and they had no resistance to the tasks assigned by Wang Lu. Moreover, after working for Wang Lu, a young Chinese rancher, they also found that as long as They can make money by working, which is much better than the salary they earn in local factories or farming!
Especially after Wang Lu said that he would fund the purchase of a set of protective clothing for everyone, Amanda immediately said:
"Don't worry, boss, our black brothers will successfully complete the tasks assigned by you!"

What Wang Lu calls protective clothing is actually a set of long-sleeved pants, gloves, a hat, and a face towel. But for black people whose families are so poor that their children can only go shirtless, the value of a set of clothes is quite good, especially It's given out for free and they don't need to pay any money. This is already considered a welfare...
