Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 460

Even though Wang Lu was just the matchmaker, Crown Prince William still expressed his gratitude on behalf of the royal family. After all, he knew very well that the same request carried by Wang Lu, the developer and breeder of new varieties, would carry different weight.

After Wang Lu sent the news back, he stopped caring about the matter. However, it is said that there was a precedent of the introduction of wheat last time in China and Daiying, and they have already been in contact.

Although Daiying has declined and is no longer the empire that the sun never sets, it can still yield a lot of good things if you squeeze it.

In the following days, Wang Lu basically didn't pay much attention to these things, but dived into the Woulu Mountains.

His eldest son was already over half a year old, and his deciduous teeth had sprouted out. He started biting people all day long. Wang Lu thought about giving him a molar stick or something.

Originally, Wang Lu also bought a lot of so-called high-end teething sticks for the little one. They were all recommended by Princess Kate and are royal brands. However, his big son didn't look down on them at all. He just wanted to play with them. Don’t put it in your mouth...

Therefore, Wang Lu also planned to try his hometown method of making a teething stick out of wood.

It is said that teething sticks are best made from Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees, but the possibility of finding Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees in Africa is very slim. If that doesn't work, we can only get them from China. Logistics are so convenient now anyway.

Wang Lu went into the mountain mainly to find a tree called miswak. Anyway, that's what Halafa called it. Wang Lu just transliterated it casually. The locals would use the branches of this tree to brush their teeth.

The wood fibers of this tree are loose and elastic, just like the soft bristles on brushing teeth, and the fiber pores contain a milky secretion, just like toothpaste.

The locals chewed this kind of branch to brush their teeth, and it also had a certain effect on teeth grinding. Wang Lu planned to try it on his older son. Anyway, this thing is non-toxic and harmless, especially since the locals live in a sloppy environment. It is true that they have big white teeth. Of course, there are also some people who never brush their teeth, and their teeth are extremely yellow.

So Wang Lu asked Halafa to lead the way and went into the mountains to find trees. Parker and the veterans were guarding him.

Since the nearby mountain tops had basically been visited, Wang Lu simply gave up on these mountains and turned to search for those that had not yet been explored.

Logically speaking, this thing should be easy to find, but Halafa led Wang Lu and his party over several mountains and didn't find it.

This made Wang Lu want to give up, but when he thought of his great son, he could only grit his teeth and continue searching.

The group continued to circle in the Woulu Mountains, and finally had no choice but to take a break.

Wang Lu, who was resting against a tree, also asked Halafa helplessly:

"Halaffa, why are the things you locals use to brush their teeth so hard to find?"

Halafa also scratched his head and muttered:
"Sometimes you can find it on the roadside..."

Wang Lu was talking here, and Parker next to him used the machete in his hand to cut down some shrubs around him to clear an area to prevent snakes or insects and ants from hiding in these shrubs. Create unnecessary risks.

It seemed that he was swinging it too casually, and the guy slashed the tree on the side with one strike, but no one paid attention. After taking out the scimitar with a casual wave, Parker continued to swing it.

After working hard for a while, I finally completed the task of opening a safe zone.

At this time, Wang Lu also casually glanced at an unusual place out of the corner of his eye.

There seemed to be something wrong with the wound caused by the tree that Parker had just struck with his machete.

At first, the wound caused by the machete was a bright red, but now as time goes by, the color of the wound has turned purple-gray, obviously affected by oxidation.Wang Lu also immediately stopped his conversation with Halafa, stood up and came to the edge of the tree.

"Boss?"

When Parker saw this, he came over and asked. It was obvious that his boss had discovered something.

Wang Lu didn't say much, and motioned to the guy to take out the scimitar he was carrying. Parker handed the scimitar to Wang Lu's hand with some hesitation, and then saw his boss waving the scimitar, tilting it towards the person in front of him. A tree was chopped down.

With two consecutive cuts, a gap appeared in the tree, revealing the bright red tree body inside with unique lines, which made Wang Lu's eyes shine.

Wang Lu didn't say anything after that. Others around him seemed to realize something and waited quietly.

Wait until the bright red wound turns purple-gray again under the action of time.

"Cut this whole thing down for me and take it back!"

Wang Lu also gave the order without hesitation. Parker and the veterans on the side naturally took action. Soon, the tree, which was not too short in diameter, was cut down and fell down.

Carefully observing the lines of the incision, Wang Lu began to trust his judgment more and more.

"Guigui, can we still have red sandalwood in our mountains?"

It was precisely because of the characteristics and texture of this thing that Wang Lu made a guess, especially because Africa itself has the distribution of precious wood such as rosewood, which made Wang Lu make a judgment.

Rosewood can be considered a rare thing, and those used to make furniture, stationery and other things are all high-end goods.

Of course, the main production area is in Southeast Asia, but in recent years, Southeast Asia has very strict restrictions on the export of rosewood, which has also led to substitutes such as African rosewood entering the field of vision of players in the market.

Although compared with the highly praised huanghuali and mahogany in China, the value is indeed incomparable, but African rosewood, also called African red rosewood, is also on the list of precious woods, and its value is still much higher than ordinary wood. of.

This was an unexpected surprise for Wang Lu!I didn't expect to encounter a mountain of African rosewood.

Of course, there is a very simple way to determine whether this thing is rosewood.

After the veterans carried the tree down the mountain, Wang Lu also directly asked him to throw the tree into the Dome River. Sure enough, the wood that was supposed to float on the water sank directly when it encountered the water. In the end, it took a lot of effort. Jin is to be salvaged again.

This is because the texture of rosewood is fine and much stronger than ordinary wood.

After such an experience, Wang Lu could basically make a conclusion. At worst, he would find a few experts to make a firm identification.

The rosewood on that hilltop is good enough to make a few sets of furniture or something!
