Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 70 The customs of the Maasai people
After asking carefully, I found out that this guy was going for the only cow in the pasture.

The reason given by Halafa was also very simple and crude. He wanted to bleed the cow!

Wang Lu was speechless for a moment. Did the cow provoke you?What does it mean to have to give someone a knife if you are doing well?

Although Wang Lu has decided to wean Xiao Wangcai now, the cow purchased from Harris will at most consume some free water and grass from the pasture. It is not a crime worthy of death!
It was Parker who explained to Wang Lu, and then Wang Lu understood the reason for Halafa's actions.

"Boss, this is a unique custom of the Maasai people. They drink cow blood every once in a while. It is said that cow blood can strengthen their body. Their adult ceremony even requires them to hunt a lion alone. Of course, this custom has long been It has been cancelled, otherwise the lions in the entire Serengeti would have become extinct!”

It was obvious that Kharafa had been eyeing that cow for a long time, but he just didn't take action for Wang Lu's sake.

But Wang Lu thought about how the cow had no credit, but it was hard work. If he really let this kid Halafa take a stab at it, he probably wouldn't survive!

With no other choice, Wang Lu had no choice but to promise that Harris would send fresh cow blood as soon as tomorrow, and that Halafa could make another wish. This finally gave up Halafa's thoughts about the cow.

Anyway, Harris would send some freshly slaughtered meat and beef and sheep offal to Wang Lu’s ranch almost every day. After Xiao Wangcai was weaned, Wang Lu deliberately adjusted his diet structure and tried to make him eat as much high-protein and high-energy foods as possible. food.

Thinking some fresh cow blood shouldn't be a problem.

Halafa also quickly thought about his wish. Wang Lu was a little surprised after Parker translated.

"Boss, this guy wants to raise some cows! As for the quantity, the more, the better!"

Cattle?

Wang Lu was stunned for a moment, while Parker smiled and explained meaningfully.

"Boss, the Maasai people are a nomadic people, and their most important livestock breed is cattle. They rely on the cattle they raise for food and drink. They eat beef and drink cow blood and milk! Moreover, cattle are also a symbol of wealth for the Maasai people. It is said that for every ten more cows they raise, they are entitled to one more wife!”

After hearing the last sentence, Wang Lu finally understood the reason why Parker smiled so lewdly.

You're such a thick-browed Khalafa, you don't learn well at a young age!
But when Wang Lu turned around, he found that this young man from Marseille, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, was looking at him as he should, without any trace of shame.

Only then did Wang Lu realize that for the Maasai people, a primitive population, reproduction was the most primitive driving force in their bones, but he had thought too much.

With this feeling of guilt, Wang Lu decisively agreed to Halafa's request to raise cattle on the pasture.

After all, this was originally part of my plan!

Looks like it’s time to introduce some cattle and sheep breeds to the pasture!

At that moment, Wang Lu decided to discuss it with Parker, but he still had to deal with those wild grapes first!
The cleaned wild grapes are directly transported to the brewing equipment. This equipment will operate fully automatically to perform preliminary pressing and other work.

"Boss, these wild grapes will be fully pressed, and the juice and skins will be fully contacted and react. Some wineries will even use manpower to crush the grapes with their feet. It is said that they have a unique flavor." Parker gave some tips on winemaking at the right time. For example, when making red wine, the skins and pulp are usually fermented together, while when making white wine, the skins of the grapes are removed, etc.

There are also a series of operations such as skin soaking, wine cap pressing, skin pouring, etc. Fortunately, with this fully automatic winemaking equipment, Wang Lu does not need to master these steps himself.

Of course, this also has disadvantages. After all, fully automatic equipment cannot control the details so finely, so the quality of the final red wine brewed may not be of the best quality.

But Wang Lu didn't care at all. After all, if he really let a novice like himself take control, the result might be even worse.

"Boss, based on the fermentation time, you can taste the fermented red wine in as little as a week. Of course, this is only the initial brewing result. Some wineries will choose to put them into oak barrels and put them in the wine cellar. To mature, this step takes quite a long time, it can be as short as a few months or more, or even a few years!"

It was obvious that Wang Lu didn't have the patience at all and couldn't wait to speak:

"Parker, in fact, my requirements for red wine are not very high. I only care about how much red wine I can harvest in one to two weeks!"

"We picked nearly [-] kilograms of wild grapes today. If we follow the ratio of three to one, boss, you should be able to harvest nearly [-] kilograms of finished product!"

Three pounds of grapes produce one pound of wine, which is pretty good.

After finishing the brewing matter, Wang Lu walked out of the brewing house in a good mood. He took a look at the construction process of the villa and found that the engineering team was already entering the final stage.

I guess it won’t be long before I can move into the villa!
"We can complete the interior decoration in a week at most, of course, if you don't increase our workload at the last minute!"

Huang Zheng, who was stationed at the construction site, also reported the progress to Wang Lu with a smile.

When Wang Lu returned to the wooden house, he bumped into Professor Qin who had just returned from patrolling the sisal fields. As soon as he got close to Wang Lu, Professor Qin smelled the fermentation of grapes on Wang Lu's body.

After learning that Wang Lu planned to brew red wine on the ranch, Professor Qin immediately smiled and said:

"When the time comes, please invite me to taste your red wine. My old man will remember it!"

Wang Lu naturally agreed generously, and as soon as he had an idea, he mentioned the preparation of natural yeast to Professor Qin. Unexpectedly, Professor Qin waved his hand at Wang Lu with contempt and said:
"Luckily, you are also from a first-class university in China. Isn't it just about the preparation of natural yeast? Any student under me can do such a thing! If not, I still have a few veterans who study red wine in China. My friend, I will introduce you when the time comes.”

Seeing Professor Qin's disdainful eyes, Wang Lu also touched his nose in embarrassment and muttered in a low voice:
"Aren't we professional and unprofessional!"

However, Wang Lu was still very excited when the natural yeast matter was settled. Why didn't he think that Professor Qin was engaged in agriculture, so he didn't need to worry about it?

Especially those friends who studied red wine in Professor Qin's mouth made Wang Lu envious. Not all of Professor Qin's friends had to be professors, so he never knew when he would have to ask for help!
