Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 19 Growth of Vitality and Energy
In fact, the coffee industry in Africa has always been quite developed, and it is one of the few industries that ranks well in the world. Who knows that the origin of coffee is in northern Africa.

After all, the climate of this land is quite suitable for the growth of coffee trees, mainly Coffea arabica.

After Parker's introduction, Wang Lu learned that the coffee trees on the mountainside were all of the arabica variety, with tree trunks ranging from five to eight meters in height.

Whether it is the local constant temperature of about [-] degrees or the volcanic ash in the surface soil of the Woulu Mountains, these coffee trees provide the most suitable growth environment, resulting in the patches of coffee trees on the mountainside that cannot even be seen at a glance. The end.

There are bunches of red coffee berries on the branches, and their growth is really gratifying.

And these are all their own assets now.

In addition, there are several cat creatures with tails running through the branches of these coffee trees. They are the civets that Parker mentioned.

These civet cats are somewhat like a combination of cats and raccoons, with slender bodies, short noses and legs, and a trailing tail. Their bodies are covered with spots or stripes.

However, after Wang Lu and Parker appeared in the coffee forest, the civet cats obviously became more vigilant, and they all relied on their agility to quickly hide themselves.

"Judging from observations, the number of civet cats in this mountain range will not be less than twenty."

Parker made an accurate judgment. Generally, civet cats live in groups. Several civet cats have appeared in this coffee forest, which means that there must be other civet cats nearby.

"If these guys have a stable place to defecate and have been living nearby, boss, the cat poop coffee you can harvest in a year may reach hundreds of pounds!"

Parker had already started rubbing his hands excitedly.

According to the price of cat poop coffee for hundreds of dollars per pound, it means that these civet cats may bring them tens of thousands of dollars in income a year.

And all Wang Lu has to do is run to the mountain to pick up shit...

This is not just picking up shit, this is not just picking up money. This is not what I dreamed of when I was a child!

"Boss, if you are willing, I can find out the specific number of these civet cats. They are nocturnal animals that will come out of their nests at night. In some countries in Southeast Asia, these guys are even caught and kept in cages and forced to eat them. They plant a large amount of coffee beans, and their daily task is to excrete the cat poop coffee fermented in their stomachs to increase production!"

"No need, just let nature take its course."

Although these civet cats can bring him a lot of income, to be honest, Wang Lu really can't come up with such a cruel method, and isn't it just an extra income of ten to twenty thousand US dollars a year? Now Wang Lu still has I really didn't pay much attention to it.

The large wild coffee forest in front of you can also produce profits. The most important thing is that you have the entire pasture in your hands. This is the greatest wealth. The layout must be bigger!

"Boss, I know you are different from those cruel guys. You have a big conscience!"

Parker also breathed a sigh of relief, but something was wrong with Wang Lu's expression!

"Parker, have you viewed any strange websites recently?"

"Oh, boss 伱 is simply a prophet. In fact, I recently learned Chinese on some Chinese websites. This was the advice given to me by Mr. Sanders."

Now Wang Lu finally understood what was going on with the strange words in this guy's mouth. He and Sanders, the little old white man, really dared to teach and the other dared to learn!

Fortunately, I can still barely understand what these two people mean in their poor Chinese.

While Wang Lu and Parker were talking, there was a rustling sound coming from under the coffee tree not far away. Wang Lu took a closer look and saw that it was a civet cat. However, the guy's leg seemed to be injured, so he didn't have time to talk to him. Its companions fled together.

"Another unlucky guy. Judging from the wounds, they should have been scratched by a caracal. From this point of view, this guy is lucky. After all, he is still alive."

Parker walked up to the civet cat and took a short look before making a judgment. As he spoke, he seemed to remember that his employer was completely blind to wild animals in Africa, and he immediately started to explain.

"The caracal is a carnivorous cat, smaller than the cheetah, but for small civets like the civet, the size is much larger. The ferocious nature of these guys makes them sometimes It will hunt civets and other distantly related species for food, and the boss believes that you will have the opportunity to see it in the future."

Wang Lu also nodded when he heard this. Wang Lu was not surprised at all about the rich biodiversity in the Woulu Mountains.

However, the unlucky guy in front of him was dragging his injured hind limbs. He had no way to jump up the tree and could only move forward step by step.

When Wang Lu saw this, he shook his head, stepped forward and held the guy down, and then gave Parker a wink.

Parker immediately took out some antiseptic and hemostatic medicine from his backpack and gave it to the guy. Finally, he used a bandage to cover the wound on his hind limb and fixed it briefly.

As a wilderness guide, it’s not surprising that Parker keeps these things in his backpack all year round.

But just after the simply bandaged civet cat left, Wang Lu was surprised to find that the experience bar of "vital energy" in his mind seemed to have grown again, and it was almost full! "It seems that as long as I help the wild animals in the pasture, I will accumulate this vitality and energy? This is forcing me to become Africa's great philanthropist!"

Wang Lu gradually figured out how this vitality energy increased. It was obvious that rescuing some wild animals was a shortcut. Otherwise, if it were accumulated slowly over time, the efficiency would not be very high.

As for the specific use of this vitality energy, Wang Lu had to study it carefully. After all, it had only been used on Xiao Wangcai before.

"In two months, these coffee berries will be officially mature, and by then, boss, you will have another income!"

Watching the civet cat dragging its injured leg and disappearing into the coffee forest, Parker also changed the topic back to the coffee forest. Wang Lu asked curiously:
"How's the local coffee beans going?"

"It's not good. Boss, you know those damn capitalists have always been experts at squeezing. The first cup of coffee in the coffee shops on the market often costs a few dollars or more. The price of a pound of coffee beans is not cheap, but the coffee beans are in the field. The purchase price is not high, but I don’t know the specific price.”

Parker looked angry, while Wang Lu nodded thoughtfully to show his understanding.

Obviously, the purchase price of coffee beans will not be too high. Although the naturally growing coffee forest in the Woulu Mountains is purely free for Wang Lu, the matter of being harvested by capitalists is not something Wang Lu has designated. That’s not possible!

"At that time, we have to study and see how to get the maximum profit from these coffee beans."

Wang Lu thought for a while and finally had an idea, or a direction.

"The truffles produced in the pine forest were praised by James as being comparable to the top products in Italy. It should be because the system has been modified, so the quality of these coffee beans will not be bad!"

Wang Lu definitely had reason to suspect that the quality of these coffee beans was also top-notch!
After all, Wang Lu has already seen all the unreasonable things displayed by the system!

Just as Wang Lu was thinking about it, Parker on the side said:

"Boss, we have to go down the mountain quickly. Judging from the situation, it should rain. This is probably the last rain of this rainy season. The dry season has officially arrived!"

Wang Lu subconsciously raised his head and found that the sky had become a bit gray for some time, and the humidity in the surrounding air had increased significantly.

Wang Lu did not question Parker's judgment and followed Parker down the mountain road.

The rain in Africa came quickly. Wang Lu and Parker had just come out of the Woulu Mountains when the rain began to fall, but it was not heavy. After all, it was the end of the rainy season, and only thin raindrops fell.

It can also be seen from this that Parker's statement that the dry season has officially arrived is probably true, otherwise the millions of wildebeest would not be in a hurry to migrate to other places.

However, Hubble and his black boys did not stop working because of this. The drilling rig continued to mine. The group of African buffalo did not come back and should still be wandering around.

The little guy Wangcai was the first to greet Wang Lu from the wooden house, but he spent most of the day holding it in.

"Boss, I'm going to check on the progress of drilling the well."

I have to say that Parker is really a qualified subordinate who can always find work for himself. To put it bluntly, he has a job in his eyes.

Wang Lu hugged Xiao Wangcai and returned to the wooden house. He was too lazy to go out on such a rainy day.

With one hand, I brushed the fluff on the little guy's head, and with the other hand, I took out my mobile phone to search for some information about the coffee bean market. However, before I even clicked on the search engine, a message popped up on the social software.

Wang Lu also smiled when he saw the other party's profile picture.

"What's wrong with you, Liuzi? You can't even get through the phone. Why are you so miserable? You can't even pay your phone bill. Call me daddy and I'll pay it for you right away."

Wang Lu casually sent back a message without thinking:
"Go, come on, Fatty Wu, I think you have started to drift away from your father's care for a while. I am now a master abroad, and domestic phone calls have been stopped!"

Fatty Wu's real name was Wu Dahai, and he was Wang Lu's most loyal roommate at university. As for Liuzi, this was the nickname given to Wang Lu by this guy.

When they were in college, the relationship between the two was the strongest. Even after graduation, this friendship or the relationship between father and son has not faded or deteriorated. When they have time, the two will occasionally communicate about their recent work and life.

Now in a foreign country, Wang Lu was quite touched to have such a person remember him. Of course, it only lasted a short moment. Most of the time, the relationship between father and son was clearly established. Dad must It's me!

The message from Wang Lu had just been sent. Fatty Wu from the opposite side immediately hung up a video call. Wang Lu picked up the call decisively. Soon, a fat face with a few freckles and a naive temperament appeared on the other side of the screen. .

"Liuzi, you just pretend to be a kid and go abroad to become a master. Didn't you, kid, get squeezed out of breath by that Zhou Bapi some time ago?"
