Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 22 Ranch Neighbors
Wang Lu looked at the serious look on this guy's face and could only helplessly let him try it first.

However, Parker is quite proficient in using chopsticks. In his words, chopsticks are relatively easy to make in the wild. At least in some cases, they are more convenient than knives and forks.

As a result, after the guy twirled his chopsticks and put the chicken fungus into his mouth, Wang Lu just watched as the guy put his chopsticks into the hanging pot again.

"Boss, these wild fungus species are so diverse that I have to try them one by one!"

I believe you a ghost!

This guy's tongue is almost ready to swallow, and he's so damn hard-mouthed!
"Shet! Why do these strange wild mushrooms taste so delicious? I missed something before!"

It seems that the law of true fragrance is true everywhere.

In the end, Wang Lu was afraid that this guy would wipe out the whole pot of wild fungi, so he had to join the battlefield midway.

The unique and delicious taste of gallinobacteria can be felt all the way from the throat to the stomach. There are also other green head mushrooms, ganba mushrooms, etc., all of which have their own characteristics. On the contrary, the beef has become the foil in this pot. .

Just as Wang Lu and the two were enjoying their meal, a somewhat dilapidated pickup truck drove up from the grassland not far away, which immediately attracted Wang Lu's attention.

It was now noon, and Hubble and the black boys from his engineering team had all gone to town to have lunch, so Wang Lu who entered the ranch at this time really couldn't figure out who it was.

But when the pickup truck stopped in front of the cabin and the people in the car got out, Parker was the first to recognize him.

"Boss, this is Mr. Harris. He is your neighbor. After all, his family farm is next door to your ranch, which is at the foot of the Woulu Mountains."

Parker swallowed the wild mushrooms on his chopsticks and continued to speak vaguely:
"The fresh beef and freshly milked cows I purchased for you were all produced on Mr. Harris's family farm."

Hearing this, Wang Lu also looked at the person coming. This Harris is also a white man. He usually looks like he is in his early thirties. However, unlike the typical facial features of white people, this Harris has a long face. With a round face and a somewhat uncoordinated facial features, Wang Lu always seemed to think that Harris had a somewhat naive temperament about him.

"Oh my friend, I hope I didn't disturb you. I heard Parker say that I have a new neighbor next door, especially since you generously take care of my business, so no matter what the reason or etiquette is, I think I have to come and visit you in person."

Harris spoke English mixed with local Swahili, and it took Wang Lu some effort to understand what he was saying.

There is no way, white people and black people mix together in the local area. The vast majority of white people are the descendants of the colonists or white immigrants. However, the local white people have long been assimilated over hundreds of years.

Contrary to the stereotype that white people are quite rich in most people's minds, there are many white people in the local area who live the same or even worse lives than those lazy black people, and there are also rich and powerful black people.

The Harris in front of him was dressed very simply, just a simple work clothes. The pickup truck behind him looked old and probably not worth much.

In fact, the so-called family farm in Parker's mouth is actually a land area of ​​less than [-] acres, and it happens to be at the foot of the other end of the Woulu Mountains. Of course, the entire Woulu Mountains are considered Wang Lu's private land. , but it is said that Harris's life is much better than that of other locals by raising some livestock.

"Hello Harris, my name is Wang Lu, just call me Wang!"

Wang Lu also shook hands with the other party generously, and then the other party took out the gift he had brought from the back of the pickup truck. They turned out to be three chickens that looked different from the poultry in Wang Lu's impression.

"Boss, this is the local guinea fowl. Harris's family farm raises a lot of these guys."

Only then did Wang Lu know that this was a unique local breed. It looked somewhat similar to domestic pheasants. The head was colorful, and the feathers on the body were covered with pearl-like spots. It seemed that this was The origin of its name.

"I hope you won't dislike these gifts!"

Harris said sincerely, which actually made Wang Lu's affection for Harris grow a lot. He is a real person!

Wang Lu didn't have any friendship. Wang Lu knew very well that distant relatives were better than close neighbors. Moreover, Harris seemed to be good at raising poultry and livestock, so he could ask him for advice in the future.

"These guinea fowls are very easy to raise. They require almost no special care. You only need to let them move around on the grassland on their own to get the food they need. Oh, I have to say that Wang Qian owns a vast grassland!"

After Wang Lu generously accepted the guinea fowl he sent, Harris was obviously very happy, and he couldn't help but feel envious when he looked at the vast grassland around him.

After Wang Lu collected the three guinea fowls, he also allowed them to wander around. As Harris said, they began to search for food in the grass nests. No need to worry.

This also made Wang Lu think about raising a batch of these guinea fowls in his pasture.There is abundant water and grass growing in a large area around the wooden house. It would be too wasteful to have only a dozen African buffalo gnawing at it. It would be a good choice to raise some livestock and poultry.

As for Harris in front of him, he owns a small family farm, which is obviously a good purchase channel.

Wang Lu simply invited Harris to sit down, especially since he came to visit specifically. According to our customs, he had to let people stay for a meal no matter what.

So Wang Lu kindly invited Harris to taste the deliciousness of those wild mushrooms.

Obviously, Harris hesitated. After all, as a traditional white man, he, like Parker, was among those who were indifferent to wild fungi.

But at this time, Parker on the side immediately said excitedly:
"Harris, give it a try. I guarantee this will be an experience you've never had before. You can't even imagine the deliciousness of these wild fungi. If it weren't for the boss, I might never be able to experience this deliciousness in my life."

Seeing Parker dancing around, Wang Lu found it hard to imagine how tough this guy was before.

Soon Wang Lu prepared a brand new set of bowls and chopsticks for Harris. It was obvious that Harris' mastery of chopsticks was not as proficient as Parker's. It took him a while of practice to successfully pick up a wild mushroom.

However, his proficiency with chopsticks increased rapidly after he tasted the first bite of wild mushrooms. In the end, this guy was even able to use chopsticks to compete with Parker in the pot for the wild mushrooms.

"King! Thank you for your hospitality. I have never tasted these delicacies. Are these delicious species the ugly fungi growing in the woods? The creativity of you Chinese people in food is simply amazing. Surprised.”

"Yes, they don't look ugly, but they obviously taste good, don't they?"

Wang Lu looked at Harris, who had been conquered by the wild fungus, and felt a sense of pride deep in his heart.

"The food culture of our country is beyond what you can imagine. There are still many delicious things. Look at your worthless looks!"

However, Wang Lu also took advantage of the situation and proposed to Harris that he wanted to purchase a batch of guinea fowl seedlings from his family farm for raising. Wang Lu also hoped to purchase a cow specifically for the little guy's daily needs, so that Parker would not have to spend time every day. Went shopping.

Harris also didn't expect that a courtesy visit would bring him a business. The family farm he runs relies on selling poultry and the meat, eggs and milk produced by these animals. At most, he can receive some more Visitors with a leisurely and elegant temperament.

The income from a batch of guinea fowls and a cow can already allow him to spend this weekend happily.

Harris readily agreed, and after his subordinate Wang Lu paid US dollars, he drove his pickup truck, called Parker, and drove the Raptor, and the three of them headed to his family farm.

Wang Lu also saw the entire family farm under Harris's name. The two hundred acres of land were about the size of twenty football fields, and were all surrounded by wooden fences.

Along the fence are rows of low chicken coops and cowsheds.

Guinea fowl, dairy cows and beef cattle are the main members of the Harris family farm.

Wang Lu directly selected a batch of guinea fowl seedlings and a cow that seemed to have plenty of milk. Two pickup trucks only took one round trip to transport the first batch of one hundred guinea fowl that Wang Lu needed to Wang Lu's pasture. , as for the cows, Parker drove a Raptor to transport them again.

"It seems it's time to build a chicken coop and a cowshed for these guinea fowls."

Wang Lu calculated another expenditure. One hundred guinea fowl seedlings and one cow cost a total of eight hundred US dollars.

The price of guinea fowl seedlings is only three US dollars each. It is said that adult guinea fowls can be sold for US$25 each. As for the cow, it costs US$[-] each.

Wang Lu was not stingy at all. At least Xiao Wangcai's rations were met. By the way, he also asked Harris to leave enough fresh beef for him every day.

However, in the future, when the pasture is designated, we must consider introducing some cattle and sheep for breeding. After all, even this isolated grassland in the south of the Woulu Mountains occupies [-]% of the entire pasture. It is not like Harris's small family workshop at all. The farm can compare.

There is enough area to support more livestock or poultry.

However, Wang Lu's current focus is more on the early infrastructure construction of the ranch, and these ideas can only be developed slowly.

There are only two cabins where you can live. The conditions are really difficult.
