Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 384 Wild sweet sorghum!
When Wang Lu saw this, he immediately issued an order. He was not interested in the battle between the baboons, monkeys and elephants, but he must save the baobab tree.

As a result, Parker on the side immediately fired a warning shot, which had a very good effect.

Several African elephants almost fled the area and left the area. The baboons and monkeys in the baobab trees were also so scared that they shut their mouths.

Although he achieved his goal, Wang Lu still felt a little sad.

The almost subconscious reaction of those African elephants was actually a habit developed when poachers brutally shot their fellow humans countless times, and they used this to drive away those African elephants. King Lu felt a little sorry.

However, this thought was quickly forgotten by him. In any case, baobab trees are an important resource for the ranch.

The baboons and monkeys who faced off against the African elephants on the baobab tree all survived and came down from the canopy. However, they did not leave in a hurry, but took away the bodies of their companions with them.

The baboon leader showed a very humane expression of gratitude to Wang Lu before leading his men away.

Wang Lu and Parker also went to check the condition of the baobab tree. In addition to the large holes poked by the ivory, there were even depressions in the tree body in several places.

This is also because the trunk of the baobab tree is not too strong. According to Parker, it should be repairable. In fact, the holes poked by ivory have been repaired through the self-healing of the baobab trunk. In order to improve, the water seepage has also been reduced a lot.

The trunk of the baobab tree is like a dense sponge, allowing wounds to heal by contracting.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the baobab tree, Parker also said to Wang Lu:

"Boss, we will intensify patrols in the future, especially focusing on the baobab trees in the pasture!"

Wang Lu also nodded. There were not many baobab trees in the pasture. If they were to focus on them, they would just ask the patrol team to change their route.

Even Wang Lu could instruct the operators on the two sightseeing hot air balloons in the ranch to focus on a few bread trees, which would also complement the patrolling veterans.

When they returned to the living area, Halafa's gang of Maasai children had already obtained several more hives.

There were several leaves attached to one of the hives, and Wang Lu became interested as soon as he saw it.

"Are there maple trees in the area?"

Those leaves were obviously maple leaves from a morphological point of view. Before, Wang Lu only knew about the distribution of maple tree species on the northern edge of the African continent, but he didn't pay much attention to them in his own pasture.

Then Wang Lu called Halafa over, and after asking about the original location of the hive, Wang Lu planned to take a look, maybe there would be some unexpected gains.

The boy Halafa and a group of Maasai children led the way, with Parker and a group of veterans guarding them. Before entering the mountains, Wang Lu saw Doctor Hank and his assistant planning to leave their ranch.

Thanks to the excellent virus matching mechanism in the African region, the new batch of veterans recruited by Wang Lu from China have gradually begun to understand what malaria is after nearly a month!

Fortunately, with a rich boss like Wang Lu here, all kinds of special medicines for treating malaria are ready, so basically there won't be any big problems.

This is because the physical fitness of the veterans is strong enough. According to what Wang Lu learned from the Agricultural Reclamation Group, some domestic workers were infected the day after they got off the plane. "Hank, how's it going?"

During this period, Dr. Hank basically visited Wang Lu's ranch every day, and he almost became the ranch's full-time doctor.

"The two guys with the fever have been tested. Fortunately, malaria and Lassa fever have been ruled out. It should be a common fever. I have left the medicine. I believe it will get better soon."

Doctor Hank smiled and greeted Wang Lu.

When Wang Lu heard this, he felt a little relieved. It was possible that he was acclimatized.

Soon, Wang Lu and his party plunged into the Woulu Mountains, and under the leadership of Halafa, they quickly found the maple forest.

This maple forest is located on a remote hilltop. Wang Lu had never noticed it before. If the children of the Maasai tribe hadn't followed Xiang Miniao to find this place, Wang Lu wouldn't have known how long it would have taken for him to find it. I know there is a maple forest here.

However, after seeing the maple trees in the maple forest, he also looked disappointed.

The maple trees in these maple forests were just ordinary maple trees, not the type of maple tree he expected that could produce maple sugar.

The taste of maple sugar is quite good, but it’s a pity that it can’t be harvested right now.

"Boss, there are very few maple tree varieties in Africa, not to mention those that produce maple sugar. They basically grow in areas with very cold winters. Only strong seasonal temperature differences can brew maple sugar. Our pastures The climate is very warm all year round, so it’s impossible to grow varieties that produce maple sugar!”

Parker's hometown is in North America, which is where several sugar maple trees outside of Canada are distributed, so he has a certain knowledge of these maple trees.

When Wang Lu heard this, he was a little helpless. It was just wishful thinking...
Of course, Wang Lu still smiled at Halafa and the Maasai children, and said approvingly:
"Well done! Everyone will be rewarded with a small dessert!"

Immediately, the Maasai children showed excitement and cheered.

As for Wang Lu, he looked disappointed and planned to go down the mountain, but he didn't give up and planned to have people go to the other side of the mountain to see if there would be any kind of variation.

But even if those maple trees were cut, there was no sign of juice flowing out, which made Wang Lu completely give up.

But after a while, Parker started shouting:
"Boss, come and see what I found!"

When Wang Lu heard the words, he immediately led his people over and found a large area of ​​stem crops growing on a slope at the foot of the mountain. There were ears of grain on top, and the stems at the bottom were also straight and straight. It is much thicker than ordinary rice, but slender than corn stalks.

As a child in a mountain village, Wang Lu recognized this thing almost at a glance.

Isn’t this sweet sorghum?

Moreover, the sweet sorghum in front of me seems to be purely wild species.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t find the maple trees that produce maple sugar, but I came across these wild sweet sorghums...
