Chapter 100 Taming the African buffalo?
After Wei Dahai listened to Wang Lu's narration, he thought about it for a while, but then he sighed:
"This is really troublesome! If this was done in my hometown, we would usually have to use a plowing ox. Even some small plowing equipment is not heavy enough. Just carrying it up the mountain would take a lot of energy. It's a pity.
This place is not like ours. The locals are so lazy that they probably don’t have the habit of domesticating cattle."
After taking a breath, Wei Dahai continued:
"Although I am not familiar with the local cattle breeding habits, if I have enough time, I can try to tame them. However, the African Zebu cattle in our pasture are only calves, and it is too late now."
When Wang Lu heard this, he nodded. Old Wei said that this was basically the same as what he thought.
But when he turned around, Wei Dahai showed his iconic honest and hearty smile.
"Boss, if I ask you to tell me, just put your heart into it. Look at your brothers, even if they rely on manpower, they have reclaimed these hills for you with a hoe!"
Lao Wei's words also attracted the echo of the veterans around him.
However, Wang Lu did not take up the task. The workload was too large. If only one person had a hoe, he might not be able to finish the work in a month!
If it really didn't work, he could only try to purchase a batch of small hand-held rotary tillers. However, the backward agricultural ecology of the local area made Wang Lu very doubtful whether he could find such small-scale agricultural machines on the market, which are already quite common in China.
Mechanical.
And if we try to get it from China, even if we take the path of the Farm Reclamation Group, it will take a lot of time...
Wang Lu is really worried.
But there was no good way to do it at the moment. I could only carry all the picked wild coffee beans back to the mountain with my veterans.
The cargo truck sent by Ruixin Coffee is already waiting. These freshest coffee beans will be transported to the airport and flown directly back to the country.
The local coffee bean industry is considered a pillar industry, so the import and export procedures for coffee beans are quite mature, and there are not as complicated procedures as other crops.
The workload of the ranch these days is relatively large, and it is all physical work, so Wang Lu also puts a lot of effort into food. There is an unlimited supply of beef and mutton, and you can eat as much as you can.
Anyway, Harris's family farm is right next door and can supply Wang Lu with fresh beef and mutton at any time.
The cattle, sheep and pigs in my pasture still need room to grow, so for the time being, I can only purchase them from this guy Harris.
Just for mutton, I basically purchase one sheep every day these days. After excluding the sheep head, sheep hooves and haggis, as well as some other miscellaneous waste, the pure meat left after slaughtering can weigh fifty or sixty kilograms.
It looks like three meals a day are not enough, so we have to purchase some fresh beef.
Add the cleanly processed haggis to the rice porridge in the morning, and after drinking two bowls, you will be full of energy and energy for the whole day, not to mention how beautiful it is.
Sheep heads, sheep's hooves, sheep stick bones and even sheep scorpions were not wasted. There were also beef bones and the like. They were stewed vigorously in a big pot for several hours. Taking advantage of the break in the work, they were given to the pot together.
Bring it to the job site as a snack.
Just take a big bone like a sheep's hoof or a sheep's scorpion and squat on the ground to gnaw it. After gnawing it, you will feel so comfortable and you will have more energy to work.
The dinner was of course a stewed stew of beef and mutton. Lao Wei's cooking skills were absolutely unparalleled, especially when it came to making meat. He just poured a spoonful of gravy on the white rice and didn't do much else.
Even if you don’t need it, you can cook a bowl of rice.
And Wang Lu's villa has finally been completed, and its level of luxury is completely different from the two previous cabins.
However, Huang Zheng's engineering team did not leave the site. With so many more people on the ranch, various supporting facilities are needed.
Special toilets, kitchens, etc. all need to be built.
Therefore, the original project volume of a villa increased again and again, and Huang Zheng almost couldn't close his mouth with laughter. After all, he no longer had to worry about his profits for the whole year.
After all the coffee beans were loaded into the truck, smoke was rising from the ranch living area. The beef and mutton in the pot had been cooked early in the morning. They just kept simmering on the pot and just stir-fried a few vegetarian dishes.
.
In addition to sprouts, other vegetables in the vegetable garden opened by Wang Lu are also gradually growing. In a few days, it is estimated that those small green vegetables will be almost ready, and then there will be no need to go to the vegetable garden.
Went to buy vegetables in Bahria Town.
While Lao Wei was cooking, some veterans gathered up the scraps of vegetable leaves and other scraps.
With so many people on the ranch, the amount of vegetables needed every day is quite large, so just those gathered vegetable leaves are enough to fill a big bag.
These discarded vegetable leaves were not wasted. We went directly to the banks of the Dome River. As soon as we said hello, the Boer goats, African zebu and black pigs who were foraging nearby ran over and started to fight for the vegetable leaves.<
/p>
For these livestock that have been munching on the abundant water and grass on both sides of the Dome River, occasionally ordering vegetable leaves is equivalent to adding extra meals to improve the diet.
Therefore, these vegetable leaves are quite popular, and they are quickly competed for.
Wang Lu saw an unexpected figure among these guys.
A calf whose size was obviously different from the African zebu cattle around it was nibbling on a vegetable leaf in front of him, with an expression that seemed to be quite enjoyable, and Wang Lu was no stranger to this guy.
This is not the little African buffalo that I rescued from the lower reaches of the Dome River that got stuck in the river mud!
"Look, this African buffalo is also interested in vegetable leaves!"
"Needless to say, boss, this guy has been here several times in the past few days, and he always eats the most!"
The veteran standing next to Wang Lu also said a piece of news that surprised Wang Lu.
But Wang Lu soon figured out that unlike wild boars, which cannot eat fine chaff, these vegetable leaves are probably a rare delicacy for these buffaloes who chase water plants on the African grasslands all year round without a meal.<
/p>
Of course, it doesn’t stop there.
Otherwise, this calf would not be the only one competing for these vegetable leaves. The adult African buffaloes on the other side of the river would only pay attention to them a few times, but they had no intention of coming over to eat.
Obviously, these African buffalo are quite wary of humans.
In fact, this is also the case. Only Wang Lu in the entire ranch can get close to these African buffaloes. After all, Wang Lu and Parker saved the calf at that time.
Chapter completed!
