Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 34 Early Issues
After arriving at the ranch, Wang Lu understood why it was Sanders and not Parker who picked him up at the airport.

The rumble of engines could be heard from the bank of the Dome River not far away. Parker was skillfully controlling the Lovol 704 towing the rotary tiller and working back and forth, and it seemed that he had already reclaimed a piece of usable land.

The first person to discover Wang Lu was Xiao Wangcai, who was doing his duty outside the chicken coop to guard the guinea fowl chicks that wanted to escape at any time.

After not seeing each other for a few days, the little guy immediately ran towards Wang Lu. After being picked up by Wang Lu, he couldn't help but cradle his little head in his arms.

When Parker saw Wang Lu's figure, he immediately stopped his work, stopped the Lovol 704, jumped out, and ran towards Wang Lu.

"Hey boss, how's your vacation going? Wow, it looks like you've introduced a new group of members to our ranch."

Parker immediately noticed the old hens in the iron cage that had just been moved from the trunk of the Grand Cherokee. Even the little guy in Wang Lu's arms stared at the old hens with wide eyes, fluttering around and looking very curious.

"Boss, my mission is completed. I wish you a nice day."

Sanders closed the trunk and planned to drive away. Wang Lu nodded and asked him a favor.

"I'll have a batch of crop seeds and fish fry arriving over there in a few days. You know, Sanders, I know absolutely nothing about these procedural matters, so I'm hoping you can assist me."

"Don't worry, boss. This is my responsibility. I will send someone to handle it."

Sanders said matter-of-factly, then stepped on the accelerator and left the ranch.

Then Wang Lu directly released the old Chinese hens from the iron cage. These old hens were still a little unfamiliar with the new environment at first.

But they soon discovered that this place seemed to be very good, and they could easily catch high-quality protein in the surrounding grass nests.

After wandering around for a while, these old Chinese hens quickly adapted to the environment here, and to Wang Lu's surprise, they quickly fell into their roles.

These old hens naturally broke into the area designated by Wang Lu for the guinea fowl seedlings. When they saw those dishonest guinea fowl seedlings, they would decisively stop them.

It's strange to say, and I don't know if it's because of bloodline suppression, but those naughty guinea fowl seedlings all became honest in front of these old Chinese hens.

Soon Wang Lu saw a strange scene. The guinea fowl seedlings were following the old Chinese hens in groups to forage.

"Shet! Boss, do your Chinese hens also undergo special training?"

Parker held his head in disbelief, unable to understand what was happening in front of him.

Wang Lu was not surprised. This was the result of thousands of years of domestication.

"Parker, we are going to get busy next. I own a vast pasture but it seems too empty now. In fact, I brought back a batch of crop seeds from China. I want to hear your opinion."

Parker had worked on the farm, so Wang Lu first asked this guy's opinion before starting any major construction projects on the ranch.

"Oh boss, it is a gift from God that you have such a fertile land. I swear to you, the black soil turned out by the rotary tiller is simply amazing. I think no matter what crops you plant, you will have a good harvest. Look at how beloved this land is to God even though the lazy locals haven’t starved to death yet.”

"In fact, with the fairly good amount of water in the Dome River, it's no problem if you want to plant some rice, or the corn that the local guys mainly grow is also a good choice... Oh God, there are so many choices. I can't even turn a corner for a moment!" Seeing Parker's excitement, Wang Lu also fell into thinking.

Although I have the idea of ​​growing rice, rice is not the most popular staple food in the area. Just think about urad curry. In fact, the most popular staple food in the area is corn.

Of course, this is also related to the lack of water resources in many parts of Africa and the inability to grow rice at all. The yield is also an important factor that limits rice becoming the local staple food.

Wang Lu grows rice purely to satisfy his own domestic needs, as long as it is enough for him to eat.

However, there cannot be major cash crops in the pasture. It would be too wasteful to leave such a large open plain in the southern part of the Woulu Mountains idle.

"We still have to think carefully about it and reclaim the rice fields and vegetable fields first."

Wang Lu, who had just arrived at the ranch, followed Parker into the cockpit of the Lovol 704 without hesitation. Looking at the black earth turning up from the ground, Wang Lu was sincerely happy.

"With such fertile land, I'm afraid the harvest will not be bad even if we plant it directly."

Wang Lu said subconsciously, while Parker on the side said with a smile while controlling:

"In fact, what African women call planting is to scatter seeds on the ground at will and wait for harvest. But boss, if you want to harvest the maximum yield, these lands cannot be planted directly."

Seeing that his boss looked suspicious, Parker continued to explain.

“You know, the banks of the Dom were previously thick with weeds, which was good for those herbivores, but not good news for your upcoming planting operation.”

“These grass seeds are mixed in the soil, and coupled with the fertility of the land, it won’t be long before those weeds emerge again and rob crops of nutrients. Even if the rotary tiller can crush some grass seeds, Most of the grass seeds are still buried in the soil."

After hearing Parker's story, Wang Lu immediately got a headache.

Those African women don't have to worry about crops and weeds being mixed together. After all, they only need to harvest food. As for the low yield?Who cares, as long as you sow the seeds, you will reap the rewards!

But I absolutely cannot tolerate this kind of thing.

"Another question before us!"

Wang Lu sighed. Obviously, the construction of the ranch was not as simple as he expected, but Wang Lu would not be discouraged just yet. If there are any problems, we will just solve them.

It just so happens that the crop seeds haven't arrived yet, so I should consider these issues carefully before talking about them.

Then Wang Lu also noticed that there were white lines drawn on both sides of the Dome River. Parker was also cultivating according to these white lines. After asking curiously, he got Parker's answer.

"It was your Chinese compatriots who helped with the planning after learning that you wanted to reclaim the land. To be honest, it really saved me a lot of time."
