Chapter 88 Species Abundance
Parker, who was sitting in the co-pilot, acted as a commentator very conscientiously.

He is also very aware of his status, especially after Wang Lu recruited veterans from the country, this guy also felt a hint of pressure in his heart.

"Sausage tree?"

Not to mention Wang Lu, even the veterans looked curious. After all, there is no such thing in the country.

However, the name alone sounded interesting. Wang Lu looked from a distance and saw thick strips of fruit hanging down from the crowns of a few lonely forest trees standing on the grassland. They really looked like sausages. Like hanging on a tree.

Soon Wang Lu and his party drove to the vicinity of these sausage trees. After observing them again, they became more and more amazed at the wonders of nature.

It turns out that in addition to the thick fruits, there are also thin roots hanging down from the sausage tree, just like the hemp rope used to tie sausages in a butcher shop. No wonder the locals call this thing What about the sausage tree.

"Boss, the fruits of these sausage trees are edible. If you are interested, you can try it. However, a friendly reminder not to eat too much. This thing will make you have diarrhea."

After listening to Parker's words, Wang Lu did not flinch, but instead became more and more interested.

Wang Lu immediately said hello, and immediately some veterans climbed up the branches of the sausage tree with their bare hands. With the cooperation of two or three, they quickly harvested several sausage fruits.

What surprised Wang Lu was that each of these sausage fruits was quite large, weighing about ten or twenty kilograms.

"I don't know how this thing grows. It can grow so big in this open grassland!"

Some of the veterans were surprised, and Parker, who could already understand some Chinese, saw that his boss also had a confused look on his face, so he naturally stood up and explained:

"Boss, in fact, it is precisely because it can produce good yields without fertilization and management. In some cases, locals will use sausage fruit as a staple food, but 70.00% of the ingredients in this thing are starch. Although it is eaten You will feel full after eating it, but you won’t be able to hold it for long, and eating large amounts can cause diarrhea.”

While Parker was talking, Wang Lu also temporarily acted as a translator, which immediately attracted the admiration of the veterans from Old Wei.

"However, you can still get a taste of these sausage fruits by eating them occasionally, and these things also have other uses. They are even used to make sausage wine, which is quite unique."

After hearing this, Wang Lu couldn't wait to use the dagger that Old Wei brought to cut a sausage fruit on hand into several sections. After dividing them into pieces, he started to try it carefully.

As Parker said, because the main ingredient is starch, the taste of this sausage fruit is a bit dry and does not have much water, but it can taste some faint sweetness, which is not unpalatable.

Of course, it's not a delicious thing. It's hard for Wang Lu to imagine that the local black people eat this thing as a staple food.

"Are you sure this dry thing can be eaten as a staple food?"

After Wang Lu asked, Parker also smiled:
"Boss, the locals sometimes roast these sausage fruits on the fire, and then drink them with a glass of orange juice. It is said that in addition to removing toxins that can cause diarrhea, the taste and taste can be greatly improved. ··”

Obviously, the way of eating that Parker mentioned should have been invented by rich people who were bored and idle. He did not believe that the poor local people at the bottom would be so leisurely and luxurious that they would drink a glass of orange juice with a slowly roasted orange. Sausage fruit!
Anyway, Wang Lu didn't plan to continue tasting the sausage fruit. Even most of the veterans were just surprised by the strange plants bred in Africa, and basically couldn't comment on the taste of the sausage fruit. .

However, Wang Lu still mobilized his veterans to pick some sausage fruits and take them back. Then he would try brewing wine to see if there would be any surprises.Then everyone left the sausage trees and continued to patrol the pasture aimlessly.

Of course, the main route is still the two sides of the Dome River. After all, Wang Lu also wanted to see the number of wild animals attracted to the pasture after the water volume of the Dome River surged.

After galloping for a while, Wang Lu's expression became more and more joyful.

The situation was much better than he expected. He even saw several African elephants that had obviously recently entered the pasture. They should belong to a different group from the African elephants he had seen before.

This African elephant group is also followed by a large number of wild animals in pursuit of water sources.

Even the signs of activity of native animals in the pasture became more and more frequent. At least Wang Lu saw several meerkats standing on the pasture more than once, watching the surrounding situation.

These meerkats are all hiding underground, but these cute-looking guys seem to love to bask in the sun, so they will emerge from the underground caves from time to time.

And once the wind direction is wrong, they will immediately get into the cave and disappear without a trace!

In addition, it was also the first time that Wang Lu saw another large raptor besides vultures on his ranch.

In fact, it’s hard to ignore the bird, which Parker calls the eagle!
This bird is less than one meter long, but its wingspan can reach about two meters, so when it spread its wings and soared in the sky, Wang Lu noticed it immediately.

"Boss, this is one of the most ferocious birds on the entire African grassland. This guy even dares to prey on lion cubs and warthogs. The impact of its super high speed is enough for it to do whatever it wants! "

Hearing this, Wang Lu and the veterans around him all had surprised looks in their eyes.

This is an absolutely ruthless person, not a ruthless bird!

But what Parker said next made Wang Lu suddenly happy:

"Boss, it is precisely because more and more wild animals are gathering in your pasture that we can find traces of the fierce eagles. These guys rely on their ability to fly high to find the places with the most prey nearby!"

Obviously, the number of wild animals on the grassland of Wanglu Ranch is enough to attract raptors such as eagles.

This was indeed the case. Wang Lu seemed to have discovered a lot of wild animals along the way that he couldn't even name.

Of course, he knew a lot of them, such as warthogs, meerkats, antelopes, impalas, etc.

"Boss, these are the property of our ranch. It will be much more convenient to carry out hunting activities in the future!"

Parker's eyes sparkled with excitement!
