Chapter 95 Pigs and Cows
The hops in front of him have probably not officially bloomed yet, and the fruit ears that are somewhat similar to pine cones are still tightly closed, so Wang Lu can only think about it for the time being.
However, according to Parker's prediction, the flowering period of these hops should be around this week, and it is the right time to come and pick them.
But right now, Wang Lu was still thinking about the oak barrels needed for the red wine he brewed, so he and Parker crossed the mountain pass and continued moving forward.
Fortunately, just after climbing a mountain, Parker started shouting again:
"Boss, you have a large area of oak trees in your territory!"
Sure enough, when Wang Lu just climbed up the mountain, he saw a forest of oak trees. There were many fallen acorns in the forest, which could be picked up everywhere.
These trees, also called oak trees, have lush foliage. In addition to woodpeckers, Wang Lu also saw other small animals carrying acorns scattered on the ground.
At least where Wang Lu could see it with his naked eyes, there were two or three hedgehogs covered in thorns, which were cunningly carrying acorns on the ground with their bodies. It looked like they were going to store some in their cave for later.
Wang Lu took a look with interest, and saw two more squirrel-like but different animals holding an acorn and looking towards him warily.
"Are there squirrels on the prairie too?"
Wang Lu asked casually, and Parker quickly explained:
"The Woulu Mountains are so big, there might be squirrels distributed there, but the boss is not a squirrel, but a ground squirrel unique to Africa. Unlike squirrels that live in tree holes, these ground squirrels live in underground caves.
They should also come out to look for food. These guys are social animals, and there are usually some guys roaming around."
After listening to Parker's words, Wang Lu suddenly understood and searched carefully, and sure enough, he found two ground squirrels nearby.
"They are experts at digging holes. They can dig a complete cave in half an hour, and they dare to fight rattlesnakes."
Parker continued to introduce the characteristics of these ground squirrels that live in woodlands and prairie. Wang Lu was also amazed after hearing this.
Now that he has found the location of the oak forest, Wang Lu plans to return after a brief walk around. Then he will bring a chain saw to cut off some suitable oak wood, and then take it back in batches to make oak barrels.

It would be unrealistic to directly attack an entire oak tree.
So Wang Lu took Parker back along the original road, until they reached the living area outside the mountain range. As a result, they happened to see a large number of freight trucks slowly driving into his ranch.
Just when Wang Lu was confused, the neighbor Harris appeared at the right time, and Wang Lu also reacted instantly.
"Hey Harris, if I guess correctly, you have taken care of the pigs and other livestock I need for me!"
Wang Lu, who had just come out of the Woulu Mountains, didn't bother to rest and directly met Harris who jumped out of the car.
Harris also smiled and shook hands with Wang Lu, then pointed to the truck behind him and said:
"Wang, you simply have no idea how complicated the procedures for these Wagyu and Angus cattle are, but because of this, I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no problems with the Wagyu and Angus cattle bloodlines introduced for your ranch."
When Wang Lu heard this, he couldn't wait to see what those Wagyu and Angus cattle looked like
Sure enough, I saw those slightly uneasy calves through the wide gap of the high-rail truck behind.
These calves are all covered in black fur. Even a layman like Wang Lu knows that this is the most distinctive feature of both Wagyu and Angus cattle.
At the same time, the ears of these calves are tagged, which is similar to a person’s ID card, recording their bloodline and identity information.
The difference between the two is also obvious.
Harris also introduced it at the right time.
"King! Those hornless calves are all Angus cattle, so Angus cattle are sometimes called hornless black cattle! The rest are Wagyu cattle, and these are all pure Australian Wagyu cattle."

Wang Lu nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The prices of these Angus cattle and Australian Wagyu cattle are not cheap, but the price of calves alone is as high as several thousand yuan.
Therefore, Wang Lu only introduced a small batch. The main beef cattle of the ranch are the African zebu cattle introduced before. As a local breed, the price of those zebu cattle is much more reasonable and affordable, which can be said to be high quality and low price.
Then Wang Lu signaled Parker to use the radio to say hello, and soon Lao Wei and other veterans who were working in the sisal field returned one after another, intending to help.
Whether they are Angus cattle or Australian Wagyu cattle, these calves weigh at least two to three hundred kilograms, and the stronger ones may weigh about four hundred kilograms. If there are not enough people, it will be really difficult to handle.
Fortunately, there were a lot of veterans here, so nothing went wrong.
After the calves were expelled from the high-rail truck, they were confused for a while, but in the end they were no match for the hunger caused by the long journey.
So some calves gnawed the grass on the ground directly, and, attracted by the water vapor, gradually moved towards the banks of the Dome River.
When the last high-rail truck arrived, Wang Lu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Harris finally got the pigs he needed.
And it's not that big white pig, but a bunch of black piglets.
Large white pigs, which have almost occupied the majority of the domestic pig breeding market, are somewhat obvious, that is, they have a high slaughter rate, strong reproductive capacity, and a short growth cycle. Otherwise, they would not be seen everywhere in the country.
But the only drawback is that the meat produced is always a little less interesting. Wang Lu always feels that the current pork is not as meaty as the previous pork...
That’s why some high-end black pigs have appeared on the market in recent years!
Not only are there black pigs in the country, but there are also many black pig varieties in the country. Wang Lu also asked Harris to help him search, but he didn't expect that they were actually introduced!
"King! The black pig you need, but the locals are not interested in pork, so it is not easy to find. It is said that these black pigs have the blood of Iberian black pigs, so they may satisfy you."
Wang Lu has heard of the name of the Iberian black pig. It is Spain’s national treasure black pig. Hams made from Iberian black pigs can sell for tens of thousands of pieces. The meat produced from this kind of black pig
They are all with snowflake patterns, and the quality is evident.
However, the price of this piglet is naturally not that low.
