Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 346 The Gift of Nature
But if you want to dig for truffles, it’s useless to just rely on the crowds!

Xiao Wangcai had to take action, and Wang Lu didn't forget his nose that was smarter than a dog!
The little guy has the potential to become a truffle lion!

Soon Wang Lu went down the mountain and took the little guy up the mountain. After recovering from his injuries for so many days, Wangcai was able to move around freely. In addition, Wang Lu basically didn't let him go out for a walk, so this period of time was very good. I was so suffocated that I couldn’t be more excited as soon as I entered the mountain!
When Wang Lu brought it to the pine forest, the little guy immediately jumped up and got into working mode.

Soon, the little guy had something to gain, and he gave Wang Lu a hint under a pine tree.

Wang Lu followed immediately, took the shovel handed over by the veteran, and started digging. Sure enough, he found a few black truffles, but unfortunately Wangcai searched nearby for a while and didn't issue any more reminders.

"It seems that the growth period of these truffles has not yet arrived, and they will have to wait for a while!"

Wang Lu had no choice but to give up, but apart from the truffles that had not grown yet, there were other gains in this pine forest.

After wandering around for two times, Wang Lu was surprised to find pine cones that had fallen from the trees scattered on the ground.

At first, Wang Lu didn't care. After all, pine cones fallen from pine trees were so common in his hometown, and they were basically of no use other than being used as firewood.

It wasn't until Wang Lu saw a few squirrels jumping up and down picking up the pine cones that he realized that these fallen pine cones were not ordinary pine cones, but also contained plump pine nuts!
You should know that the pine nuts produced in the pine cones of ordinary pine trees are basically unusable because they are small, light and have a brown film. Only the pine nuts produced by a few pine tree species are edible.

Wang Lu picked up the pine cone on the ground and casually knocked down the plump pine nuts inside. Then he smashed open the outer shell to reveal the round pine nuts inside, which were undoubtedly edible.

"This is an unexpected surprise. I didn't expect that in addition to truffles, this pine forest also produces pine nuts."

Pine nuts are a good thing. They are high-quality nuts. When he was in China, Wang Lu ate red pine nuts produced in Northeast China. Those snacks were sold by several snack brands at very high prices!
This also made Wang Lu curious about the varieties of these pine trees. This pine forest was obviously different from the domestic pine tree varieties.

Fortunately, Parker, an expert in Africa, was by his side, so he could get the answer just by asking.

"Boss, this is the iron pine unique to Africa. The pine nuts it produces are also edible. It looks like we all have snacks to eat!"

Without Wang Lu's orders, the veterans around started to pick up the pine cones, go back and get the pine nuts out of them, and then fry them and shell them, and then save them specially. They usually put a handful in their pockets and use them at any time. It can be used as a snack to satisfy your craving.

The area of ​​this pine forest is not small, and it is estimated that it can produce a lot of pine nuts, but it is not realistic to make some profits from these pine nuts.

After all, the scale has still reached a certain level, and there is no local market in this area. Even if there is a market, the profits can probably cover the cost of purchasing equipment, etc. It is basically a waste of work, so it can only be digested internally.

Returning to the living area with a full load of picked wild mushrooms, pine cones, and of course the two giant gallinomycetes with a diameter of one meter.

When he was going down the mountain, Wang Lu sensed that shadowy line of sight again, shook his head and stopped caring!

The chef, Lao Wei, personally selected a few guinea fowls that were at their best and slaughtered them, and then cleaned the wild mushrooms.Those smaller mushrooms that don’t have much of their own fragrance are stewed into a pot of miscellaneous mushroom soup, and their delicious flavor can be smelled from a long distance away. As for the existence of small numbers of gallinobacteria, they are left alone. One pot for stewing chicken.

It would be too much of a waste to stew the chicken fir together with those miscellaneous bacteria. Although the taste is not bad, the unique fresh and sweet taste of the chicken fir itself will be robbed by the miscellaneous bacteria, and it will not be so pure. Throw it in Chicken soup with only basic umami flavor is the best combination.

Wang Lu personally tasted a bowl and was so impressed on the spot that he almost swallowed it all with his tongue and chewed a lot of the chicken inside.

The other veterans were also full of praise. Although Parker had already experienced the delicious taste of wild mushrooms, he still couldn't help but cursed after tasting the taste of coriander mushrooms!

"Housai Crab, why do these humble mushrooms have such a delicious taste? I must have tasted delicious food from hell!"

As for the two giant gallinobacteria, they had been cut into pieces and exposed to the sun in accordance with local treatment methods.

This kind of giant gallinobacteria is full of delicious flavor, but one problem is that it is too big, the bacteria are too thick, and the fiber is too thick, resulting in a bad taste, so it is dried and ground into powder. Fresh seasonings are the best choice.

The few truffles he harvested with his wealth were also saved. Now Wang Lu no longer needs to make money by selling these truffles.

In the other two large pots, freshly harvested African iron pine nuts are being fried. The pine nuts must be fried before they can be eaten.

It’s just that the ranch doesn’t have a machine specially designed to open these pine nuts. This thing is easy to get in China. You can just buy one online, but it’s a bit troublesome locally!

Fortunately, there are veterans from the Northeast in the team, so I can make do with finding some materials to weld a clay thing.

In the end, Wang Lu ate until his belly was round and he kept stroking his belly to burp. Even the burps were filled with the delicious flavor of wild mushrooms.

“Today’s meal is a gift from nature!”

In fact, Wang Lu, who sits on the entire Woulu Mountains, can really find a lot of nature's gifts in the Woulu Mountains if he thinks about it.

With the arrival of the rainy season, everything is growing. Many crops that had disappeared during the dry season have reappeared in the mountains, such as many delicious berries and nuts on the trees.

Wang Lu actually encountered some wild bananas in the Woulu Mountains. Sometimes they rotted on the trees, and only wild animals in the mountains and forests could enjoy them. It was a pity.

In addition, there is wild sugarcane. Wang Lu has also tasted it. The juice is very full, but the sweetness is not as sweet as the artificially cultivated varieties, so he only occasionally cuts it with the hatchet he carries with him when he encounters it. Roots to satisfy their cravings, and veterans who go hunting in the mountains regard it as a good choice to replenish moisture, and it is also a natural and harmless product.
