Chapter 6 Truffle Lion
This is currently Wang Lu's only source of wealth. Maybe he can save his first pot of gold by relying on this pine forest. With the start-up capital, there is a lot to do in the vast pasture!
Not to mention anything else, with this fertile land, the nourishment of the Dom River, a few rice fields along the river, and a vegetable field, how can the son of a farmer still go hungry?
"It's just that these wild truffles are a bit hard to find. You may not be able to get anything after working for a long time, so just finish it first!"
So, after destroying the last few bags of bread, Wang Lu carried the shotgun and engineer shovel and headed towards the pine forest again.
Behind Wang Lu, a small figure followed. The recovered little guy seemed to be very spiritual and followed Wang Lu.
Wang Lu had no choice but to let the little guy follow behind, and he gave it a domineering name along the way:
"Prosperous wealth! It's easy to make a living with a low reputation!"
The little guy squealed twice before agreeing obediently, obviously very satisfied with his name.
When he arrived at the pine forest, Wang Lu instantly entered the state.
With the engineer shovel in his hand, Wang Lu began to look for today's target and quickly selected an area.
It has to be said that Wang Lu was extremely lucky today. He had harvested just half an hour later. Seven or eight black truffles were quietly attached to the roots of the pine tree that Wang Lu dug up.
Wang Lu collected these truffles with great joy. These truffles were relatively small, but they should be three or four in total.
The little guy who had been sitting quietly on the side seemed to sense Wang Lu's joy. He immediately came up and got into Wang Lu's arms and rolled his head twice. Then he curiously stretched out his little head and nuzzled Wang Lu with his nose.
I sniffed the truffle on my hand.
"Little guy, I can't give this to you, I have to use this thing to exchange for your food rations!"
After carefully collecting these truffles, Wang Lu started working enthusiastically again, but then he selected a dozen pine trees in succession, but found nothing.
This made Wang Lu feel a little discouraged. It is extremely difficult to grow truffles. Even if they are found in an area, there is no distribution pattern that can be explored. It can be said that if you want to dig this thing, it is purely luck.<
/p>
And for such a large pine forest, if we just try our luck to dig them out one by one, I’m afraid we won’t be able to dig them all until the Chinese New Year!
Just when Wang Lu was about to continue digging for truffles, he suddenly discovered that this little guy Wangcai had gone somewhere!
"Prosperous wealth?"
Wang Lu tried calling, and then he heard a call not far away, and it was the voice of the little guy.
He quickly grabbed the engineering shovel and followed the sound for a few steps, and the little guy's figure also appeared in Wang Lu's field of vision.
The little guy actually imitated Wang Lu and kept digging the soil at the base of a pine tree with his claws, but his strength was still too weak and he couldn't dig the soil at all.
While he breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Lu saw the little guy working so hard, so he picked up the engineering shovel on hand and helped the little guy dig.
But as Wang Lu shoveled down, the root system of the pine tree gradually emerged, and several familiar objects appeared in his sight.
There are actually truffles under the pine tree that the little guy chose!
Wang Lu didn't know what to say at this time. He had been busy for a long time, but he was not as lucky as this little guy?
When the little guy saw Wang Lu stop, he got close to him again, and then he took the initiative to leave Wang Lu's arms, turned around and walked in the other direction.
Wang Lu hurriedly put away the few truffles, and hurried to follow with a puzzled expression. After walking a few steps, the little guy stopped in front of a pine tree, let out a cry in his mouth, and patted it with his paws cleverly.
The soil at the root of this pine tree.
Wang Lu's heart beat wildly, and he quickly waved the engineering shovel and started digging!
Before long, several truffles attached to the roots of the pine wood revealed themselves.
Looking at Wangcai incredulously, the little guy was able to accurately find the location of the truffle?
Recalling the situation when it was sniffing truffles, Wang Lu felt more and more that the possibility was very high!
Wang Lu suddenly remembered the information about truffles he had found on the Internet. In those traditional truffle-producing areas, truffle hunters who relied on truffles not only relied on their own experience to search for truffles, but also used special methods to train dogs to become truffles.
Professional truffle dogs to find traces of truffles.
There are even truffle pigs.
"What the hell is this little guy? A truffle lion?"
Wang Lu couldn't help but be overjoyed!
As for why the little guy has such abilities, Wang Lu naturally attributed it to the so-called vitality energy.
"It seems that this vitality energy not only restored the little guy's dying state, but also benefited the little guy a lot!"
Quickly collecting a few truffles in front of him, Wang Lu continued to follow the little guy in the pine forest.
The little guy took a step forward and directly selected the next target without any hesitation. Wang Yang followed up and dug, and without any surprise, he harvested several truffles again.
Wang Lu's hand holding the engineer's shovel didn't even tremble after he had been digging for seven or eight hours yesterday and today. But now he couldn't help but tremble, which was entirely caused by excitement.
Wang Lu picked up the little guy and kissed him hard.
Xiao Wangcai kept scratching the tip of Wang Lu's nose with his claws, his dark pupils full of intimacy.
One person and one lion, they play for a while before they stop playing.
"Go and prosper!"
With the joint efforts of Wang Lu and the little guy, the efficiency of digging truffles has increased countless times.
Xiao Wangcai's accuracy in searching for truffles is as high as 100%. Those truffle dogs and truffle pigs are completely incomparable.
It was only two hours, and nearly half of it was spent walking. As long as the shovel was put down, there would be a harvest. Wang Lu's engineer shovel dug so hard that it almost curled up, and the harvest was quite abundant.
Looking at the truffles filling his backpack, Wang Lu almost grinned to the back of his head.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Perhaps it is because the soil has been systematically modified, but the truffles produced in the Woulu Mountains are all very good in size. Most of the individual truffles can reach five or six centimeters in diameter, and a dozen or so truffles can make up a pound.
As for the pine trees in the forest, as long as they are infested with truffles, there are basically about ten truffles, and some with less may have seven or eight truffles.
Wang Lu dug up the most truffles. Large and small truffles were densely covered with the entire pine tree root system, allowing him to harvest nearly two kilograms of truffles.
The total amount of truffles in this backpack weighs about fifty kilograms!
"How about I call you dad? Otherwise I won't be able to hold these truffles securely!"
After weighing the weight of the truffles in his backpack, Wang Lu said seriously to Xiao Wangcai.
According to the price James gave him, the truffles in this bag are worth more than 130,000 US dollars! Considering Wang Lu, who has a ranch but is short of money, calling him daddy is really not too much.
Xiao Wangcai, however, just stared at Wang Lu with big eyes in confusion, which made Wang Lu couldn't help but hold him in his hands and caress him well.
Seeing that it was getting late, although Wang Lu was a little reluctant, he still hurriedly put on his backpack, picked up Wangcai and rushed to the wooden house not far down the mountain.
Anyway, with Xiao Wangcai here, the truffles in this forest are already within easy reach for Wang Lu!
And Wang Lu estimates that there may not be many truffles left in this forest. After all, Wangcai has taken him to most of the pine forest today!
"I'll collect all the truffles tomorrow!"
To put it bluntly, truffles are essentially a fungus. They have a fixed production season every year. After this period, they will naturally rot in the ground, so Wang Lu has no scruples in picking and collecting them.
Maybe there will be a lot of truffles popping up under this pine forest next year.
After returning to the cabin, Wang Lu's excitement still hadn't completely calmed down.
As night fell, Wang Lu quickly picked up some of the firewood collected yesterday and lit the bonfire.
Xiao Wangcai obviously saw the flame for the first time and jumped directly into Wang Lu's arms. This is the natural fear of animals towards flames.
Wang Lu also kept stroking the little guy's plush body with his hands. Before he could say anything to comfort him, the little guy jumped down and started calling in the direction of the Woulu Mountains.
"Ouch!"
Wang Lu immediately realized something was wrong, his eyes gradually became serious, and he held the shotgun he had taken off in his hand.
There seemed to be a black shadow slowly approaching in the direction of the little guy's call.
Soon, with the help of the firelight, Wang Lu could clearly see the opponent's figure, but his face did not show much panic.
A wild boar of medium size, with steady steps and a greedy look in its eyes appeared in Wang Lu's field of vision.
Different from the Chinese wild boar in Wang Lu's impression, this guy has black hooves, orange hair, a white back line, white whiskers on both sides of his cheeks, ears with thin tips pointing back, and facial hair.
Has fangs.
"Red River Pig!"
Wang Lu immediately found this guy's name among his homework.
This is a wild boar that is widely distributed in mountains, woodlands and grasslands in Africa, and has even reached the point of overrun in some areas.
Following the red river pig's gaze, Wang Lu also knew its purpose. This guy came here smelling the smell of truffles in his backpack.
The Red River Pig has a fierce temperament and is tempted by food. Even under the shock of fire, this guy is ready to move.
This also made Wang Lu tightly grip the shotgun in his hand.
However, the little Wangcai in front of Wang Lu was not afraid at all. Instead, he showed his strong side for the first time. He opened his mouth and gave him a warning that was not too loud, but it was different from his thin body.
When combined with the cute voice, it doesn’t really look like that.
But courage is commendable!
The red river pig obviously didn't take Xiao Wangcai seriously, and was still approaching step by step, and even showed signs of speeding up.
If this red river pig really collided, the impact would be extraordinary.
