Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 100 Taming the African buffalo?

After Wei Dahai listened to Wang Lu's narration, he thought about it for a while, but then he sighed:

"This is really troublesome! If this was in my hometown, we would usually have to use a plowing ox. Even some small plowing equipment is not heavy enough. Just carrying it up the mountain would take a lot of energy. It's a pity. This place is not like ours, and the locals are so lazy that they probably don’t have the habit of domesticating cattle."

After taking a breath, Wei Dahai continued:
"Although I am not familiar with the local cattle breeding habits, if I have enough time, I can try to tame them. However, the African Zebu cattle in our pasture are only calves, and it is too late now."

When Wang Lu heard this, he nodded. Old Wei said that this was basically the same as what he thought.

But when he turned around, Wei Dahai showed his trademark honest and hearty smile.

"Boss, if you ask me to tell you, just put your heart into it. Look at the brothers, even if they rely on manpower, they have cultivated these hills for you with a hoe!"

Old Wei's words also attracted the response of the veterans around him.

However, Wang Lu did not take up the task. The amount of work was too heavy. If only one person had a hoe, he might not be able to finish the work in a month!
If it really didn't work, he could only try to purchase a batch of small walk-behind rotary tillers. However, the backward agricultural ecology of the local area made Wang Lu very doubtful whether he could find such small-scale agricultural machines on the market, which were already quite common in China. Mechanical.

And if you try to get it from China, even if you take the path of the Farm Reclamation Group, it will take a lot of time...

Wang Lu was really worried.

But there was no good way at the moment. The only option was to carry all the picked wild coffee beans back down the mountain with the veterans.

The cargo truck sent by Ruixin Coffee is already waiting. These freshest coffee beans will be transported to the airport and flown directly back to the country.

The local coffee bean industry is also considered a pillar industry, so the import and export procedures for coffee beans are quite mature and there are not as complicated procedures as other crops.

The amount of work in the ranch these days is relatively large, and it is all physical work, so Wang Lu has also put a lot of effort into food. There is an unlimited supply of beef and mutton, and he can eat as much as he can.

Anyway, Harris's family farm is right next door and can supply Wang Lu with fresh beef and mutton at any time.

The cattle, sheep and pigs in my pasture still need room to grow, so for the time being, I can only buy them from Harris.

Just for mutton, I basically purchase one sheep every day these days. After excluding the sheep head, sheep hooves and haggis, as well as some other miscellaneous waste, the pure meat left after slaughtering can weigh fifty or sixty kilograms. It looks like three meals a day are not enough, so we have to purchase some fresh beef.

Add the cleanly processed haggis to the rice porridge in the morning. After drinking two bowls, you will be full of energy and energy for the whole day, not to mention how beautiful it is.

Sheep heads, sheep hooves, sheep stick bones and even sheep scorpions were not wasted. There were also beef bones and the like. They were stewed vigorously in a large pot for several hours. Taking advantage of the break in the work, they were given to the pot together. Take it to the job site as a snack.

Just take a big bone like a sheep's hoof or a sheep's scorpion and squat on the ground to gnaw it. After gnawing, you will feel so comfortable and you will have a lot more energy to work.

The dinner was of course a stewed stew of beef and mutton. Lao Wei's cooking skills were absolutely unparalleled, especially when it came to meat. He just poured a spoonful of gravy on the white rice and didn't do much else. Even if you don’t use it, you can eat a bowl of rice.

And Wang Lu's villa has finally been completed. Its level of luxury is completely different from the two previous cabins.However, Huang Zheng's engineering team did not leave the site. With so many more people on the ranch, various supporting facilities were needed.

Special toilets, kitchens, etc. need to be built.

Therefore, the original project volume of a villa increased again and again, and Huang Zheng almost couldn't close his mouth with laughter. After all, he no longer had to worry about profits for the whole year.

After all the coffee beans were loaded into the truck, smoke rose from the ranch living area. The beef and mutton in the pot had been cooked early in the morning, but they were just simmering on the pot, and just stir-fried a few vegetarian dishes. .

In addition to sprouts, other vegetables are gradually growing in the vegetable garden Wang Lu opened. In a few days, it is estimated that those small green vegetables will be almost ready, and then there will be no need to go to the vegetable garden. Went to the town of Bahria to buy vegetables.

While Lao Wei was cooking, some veterans gathered up the scraps of vegetable leaves and other scraps.

With so many people on the ranch, the amount of vegetables needed every day is quite large, so just the gathered vegetable leaves are enough to fill a big bag.

These discarded vegetable leaves were not wasted. They went directly to the Dome River. As soon as they said hello, the Boer goats, African zebu and black pigs who were foraging nearby ran over and started to fight for the vegetable leaves.

For these livestock that have been munching on the abundant water plants on both sides of the Dome River, occasionally ordering vegetable leaves is equivalent to adding extra meals to improve their diet.

Therefore, these vegetable leaves are quite popular, and they are quickly competed for.

Wang Lu saw an unexpected figure among these guys.

A calf whose size was obviously different from the African zebu cattle around it was nibbling on a vegetable leaf in front of him, with an expression that seemed to be quite enjoyable. Wang Lu was no stranger to this guy.

This was not the little African buffalo that he rescued from the lower reaches of the Dome River that got stuck in the river mud!
"Look, this African buffalo is also interested in vegetable leaves!"

"Needless to say, boss, this guy has been here several times in the past few days, and he always eats the most!"

The veteran standing next to Wang Lu also said a piece of news that surprised Wang Lu a little.

But Wang Lu soon figured out that unlike wild boars who couldn't eat fine bran, these vegetable leaves were a rare delicacy for the buffaloes who chased water plants on the African grasslands all year round and never had a meal.

Of course, that's all.

Otherwise, this calf would not be the only one coming to compete for these vegetable leaves. The adult African buffaloes on the other side of the river would only pay attention to them a few times, but they had no intention of coming over to eat.

Obviously, these African buffalo are quite wary of humans.

In fact, this is also the case. Only Wang Lu in the entire ranch can get close to these African buffaloes. After all, Wang Lu and Parker saved the calf at that time.

As for other employees, these African buffaloes will stay away from each other if they see them.
