Happy time always passes quickly. Even if Lao Liu and the others like to play with lions, they can't stay on the grassland all the time.

Xiao Miaomiao's performance was much better than the last time she separated. At least this time she could be very happy to wave to the lions. What did she look like last time? It was so heartbreaking for Lao Liu.

"It's so satisfying. Lulu, I don't want to go back anymore, I just want to raise a lion here to play with it." Wang Shasha said while flipping through her photos.

"You still raise lions? I think it's almost the same to feed lions." Xu Lu said angrily.

"Hehe, I just think about it, but it's not illegal to think about it." Wang Shasha said with a smile.

"Don't think about it for now. Look out the window and the group of hyenas are following again." Old Liu said with a smile.

Hearing Lao Liu's words, the two girls hurriedly ran outside and looked over.

They were really shocked, and the group of hyenas were indeed followed. Fortunately, they ran for more than ten minutes and then stopped.

"Oh my God, Brother Liu, they are not trying to kill themselves for money, right?" Wang Shasha asked in surprise.

"Maybe this is my fault, so I shouldn't throw meat to them." Old Liu said with a wry smile.

I have lived here for a long time and learned more about things. In normal circumstances, hyenas will only follow lions and leopards and then pick up their prey.

Now that I'm following my car, I'm afraid I feel that I can throw meat to them. I have to pay attention in the future. It's definitely not a good thing to provoke such a bunch of guys.

When he returned home, it was not dark yet, Lao Liu stewed a pot of rice and stir-fried two dishes. For them, he did not treat him as a real guest anyway. In other words, Jeon Jooyeon was there at the beginning, and he thought about it carefully. Now it is a normal meal.

And for him, with the soy sauce now, dipping sauce is almost the main dish on his table. Every time he eats, he will scoop a small plate and eat happily.

But in the hearts of the two girls, the little monkey baby is even more envious. Every meal is an exquisite fruit meal, and some people may not be able to bear this treatment even in China.

Old Liu was also helpless. Xiaohouwa is a pure vegetarian. Anyway, having a big fruit plate for every meal is enough for these "children" at home.

Facts have also proved that it is not that lions have to eat meat. At Lao Liu's home, the current food culture of this little lion is gradually changing. Meat needs to be eaten, and fruits are not missing every day. Occasionally, you can eat some rice and steamed buns, which is to taste fresh.

What if Lao Liu is lazy? Get a pot of dumpling soup and make some pieces of meat in it. It is also OK for the little lion.

"Boss, I've found out what you asked me to inquire."

Just as he was having a good time, Masica walked in from outside.

"You came here just in time. Have you eaten? Have you eaten some with us?" Old Liu waved.

"Thank you, boss, I've eaten it. I thought you've finished it after you've been back for so long." Masica said with a smile.

"After playing around on the grassland, these little guys made it dirty, so they took a bath. Did you understand the tea matter?" Liu Wenrui asked with a smile.

He originally planned to ask Kipkori to inquire about this matter, but this guy was a little awkward, so Comrade Lao Ma was more solid in his work.

Masica nodded, "Boss, before, I only knew that there were many people in China who grew tea, but I didn't know much about this. Now I have found out clearly that the most grown tea is still the ones."

"But the auction price of red-broken tea this year is not very high, $2.1 per kilogram. The cost of tea farmers producing these red-broken teas is close to $2."

"There are also some special tea plantings, such as purple tea, which are more exported to your motherland. But just like the planting of coffee trees, more farmers actually choose to sell their tea directly to buyers, that is, those large tea factories."

"They can make not much money. After removing all expenses, the profit per kilogram will not exceed ten shillings. But for them, this is still the best choice. If the auction price goes down, they will not only fail to make money, but also lose money."

"Brother Liu, the tea here is so cheap?" Wang Shasha asked curiously after hearing this.

Liu Wenrui nodded, "It was as expected that it was much worse than the coffee bean market. Red tea, that is, dry tea, is such a low price. You can imagine how much profit those tea factories and distributors can make in the tea industry."

"Masica, what about the varieties of black tea? Don't have the ordinary varieties, but high-end varieties that can be sold at a price. Our land area is limited, just like coffee, so we will only make fine products in the future."

"Boss, the high-end black tea varieties are Assam black tea from India and Ceylon black tea from Sri Lanka, as well as the hybrid Manipo black tea. These varieties are grown in the British tea factory estates, and they will directly export and sell these teas."

"But there is another problem. If the tea trees we planted want to make dry tea, we need to purchase a large amount of wood. Now the country has issued a logging ban, which has caused a lot of wood prices to rise, and it is more dependent on imports."

"Uh..., I'm so happy, what's the relationship between planting tea trees and wood?" Old Liu asked differently.

Wang Shasha and Xu Lu were also very curious. In their understanding, these are things that cannot be beaten by eight poles.

"Boss, most of the boilers in many tea factories use these wood as the main fuel. Although the oil is more convenient, the cost will be very high," said Masica.

"If I hadn't asked in detail, I wouldn't know that there would be such a problem in the future. If I used oil to drive the boiler, the cost per kilogram of red-crumbed tea would reach US$2.4, even higher than this price."

"Tsk tsk, there are really many ways here." Old Liu said with emotion.

The price of gasoline per liter in Kenya is now 119.32 KShip, and the price of diesel per liter is 113.62 KShip. This price, if compared with the domestic oil price, looks nothing.

But don’t forget that this is not in China, and the per capita income level here is very low. So the oil price that seems to be OK is not low here.

Otherwise, the cost of hiring a car here is so high? It is because the oil price here is actually really high. This is lowered to 8% based on the original 16% fuel tax.

The fuel price in the future may still rise. Because Kenya's fuel mainly depends on imports, there is no cheaper one when it comes to them.

Lao Liu thought planting tea trees was a very simple thing, but he didn't expect there were so many twists and turns here. In fact, he really sympathized with the agricultural operators here in Kenya. Whether it was coffee or tea tree planting, the profits that real farmers could make were really not high.

Kenya's three major cash crops, coffee, tea, flowers, and now the profits of coffee and tea have been compressed to such a low level. I'm afraid the profits of flowers are not very high.

When he went to Nairobi, he also saw those flower shops. It seemed that the signs were only 200 shillings per bunch. Although he didn't see them very clearly, the bunch must have more than fifteen, which looked very big.

This is still the sales price in the store, so what about the sales price in the hands of flower farmers? I'm afraid it's much lower than this.

"Masica, after hearing your introduction, my mind became more firm. I still have the same principle. Either if you don't do it, we will do the best products." Liu Wenrui said with a hard bite of the cucumber.

"I chose the Assam tea tree saplings of the black tea tree. I didn't drink much tea, but this tea is still very famous. Since there is a good planting environment here, we have no problem choosing this one."

"Tomorrow, you can count it and see how much land close to my farm can be used to plan and plant tea trees. Then we will purchase seedlings. Well... Compared with normal planting standards, our density can be slightly increased."

"For the variety of flowers, let's choose roses. As for the color, we can choose more. But at present, the area should not be too large, so it should be controlled within five acres."

"But now these are our initial plans. Rose plants really start to grow and will be sold after my coffee beans are sold. Otherwise, I may not be able to bear such a high cost."

"Okay, boss, are there any other arrangements?" Masica asked.

"There is nothing else. These days, you will take them to walk on our land carefully. See how these lands are suitable for planning." Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"But our road is not busy starting construction for the time being. After Sunshine Company's plan is completely finalized and a new route is planned, it will be time for us to operate."

"In purchasing agricultural equipment, let's make way for these tea tree seedlings first. At least, it's okay to use these lands near my farm to plant tea trees."

Maxika nodded with a smile, said something to Lao Liu and the others, and left here directly.

"Brother Liu, I understand it. It seems that it is the production base of those large enterprises here." Wang Shasha said with emotion.

"A pound of fresh tea can earn less than ten shillings. How can you live that day? Compared with the situation in our country, it is really much different."

"That's what it is here, so I decided to take the fine route in the future." Old Liu said with a smile.

"If you do the planting of ordinary cash crops, there is no profit to discover. So I will use high-quality products and develop my trade industry."

"And my first choice is actually our domestic market. I never thought about it before, and I used more brains after returning to China last time. Coffee trading was our first test."

Although the two girls didn't know much, they also thought that he made sense. Because the basic producers here can make too little money.
