(Thanks to my friends for their lazy and boring monthly tickets)

The midnight snack last night was going well. A bottle of red wine was dried, and a small pot of fried peanuts were eliminated.

Xiao Miaomiao opened her eyes and sat up. She wanted to take the little animals to have fun as usual. Now she was a little confused and scratched her hair. When did she run to her father's room?

Its little followers squatted on the ground and looked at her in unison. They probably wondered why the little master didn't come down to play.

The little guy looked at it, frowned and hesitated for more than twenty seconds, then poured it on the bed, arched his little body, intending to continue sleeping.

Old Liu, who was secretly watching her, was so happy that he chewed several bites on her fleshy little face.

"Dad, how did Miaomiao come here?" The little guy asked curiously after playing.

"I'm also saying that you will be a little drunkard in the future. Get up now, play for one day today, and I'll go buy coffee berries with my father tomorrow." Old Liu pinched her nose.

The little guy nodded happily and crawled down from the bed as soon as he walked out. He first greeted his friends one by one, and then ran to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Although the little guy is a little confused about his personal hygiene now, Lao Liu also asked her to do a round first and then give her guidance. He will not always serve her, so that she can exercise her independence and autonomy.

Actually, it’s quite good now, but the toothpaste is a bit expensive. Her children’s toothpaste also needs to be replenished frequently, because when you can’t see it, you might just hold Simba’s head and brush Simba’s teeth.

I woke up a little late, and the breakfast was a bit silly. However, the family of three had a good meal, and the midnight snack last night had no effect on them.

After dinner, I went to my own coffee garden and was in a good mood.

The coffee trees planted later should be able to harvest a batch during this year's harvest season. Although the quantity has not reached the peak period, it can still make profits.

The original coffee trees in our home are growing very well now. Not only has the crown size increased a lot, but the coffee berries look gratifying.

It’s different to have small trees to take care of. At least these coffee trees save more than a year of growth. Time is money, and this is all the credit of the small trees.

After transferring, he picked up the phone again. He also had to call Masica to find out about the ripening of coffee berries in Tanzania, and then he could determine the acquisition route this year.

"Boss, have you returned to Kenya?" Masica asked happily after answering the phone.

"I'm back, I just want to determine the ripening level of coffee berries in Tanzania." Liu Wenrui said with a smile.

"How are your work going there? Can the new washing plant be successfully built and put into use? We have to make money this year."

"Boss, don't worry, the washing plant will be completed in another week. And here we have also made a promise to ensure our power supply." Masica said.

"I suggest you come to Tanzania to acquire this time, which is more mature here. Now there are people from other companies coming here to carry out preliminary preparations."

"That's fine, but at most you can stay there for two days." Old Liu frowned and thought for a while and said.

"Today you can go for a little longer and see the basic situation of those farms. After I get over, I can save time and not delay my acquisition in Kenya."

"Ok." Masica said happily.

"Boss, there is another new situation here. I don't know if it is because of the climate in recent years, there are many locusts here, and the agricultural risk level has been greatly improved."

"Locust? This thing is very domineering. Is it very serious? It is determined to be the disaster level?" Old Liu also frowned.

"Yes, although these locusts have just arrived in Tanzania, they may also harm Kenya in the future and have an impact on the crops on our farm." Masica said hurriedly.

He was still a little puzzled. The boss didn't know anything about such a big thing.

"Masica, you can prepare first, I'll check it first." Liu Wenrui hung up the phone after saying that.

This is indeed a new situation. I just paid attention to Sunshine Oil Company some time ago, so I didn’t care about other things. After checking it online, Lao Liu felt a cool breeze coming from his neck.

This locust disaster actually broke out a long time ago. He didn't care much about these international news and had never read it. The real situation was much more serious than Masica said.

The species of locusts in this locust plague is desert locusts. Because the climate is abnormal this year, these locusts have provided environmental conditions for rapid reproduction.

Locusts can be said to be the oldest and most destructive migratory pest in the world. Ordinary locust swarms can have 40 million. They can migrate 150 kilometers in a day. Those who pass by can swallow enough food that feeds more than 30 million people.

For African countries, food is always insufficient. If these locusts harm each other, the entire East Africa region this year may face the threat of famine.

The crop yield is already low, and they are all planted and received relief. When locusts pass by, they can only rely on relief to make a living.

Somalia and Ethiopia have stopped these locusts and have been identified as the worst locust invasion in 25 years. Kenya is slightly better here, but judging from the current locust walking route, it will be the worst in 70 years.

Now these locusts have crossed the border and entered the territory of Tanzania, Uganda and South Sudan. In the current situation, there is no effective way to prevent and eliminate locusts.

These locusts really eat everything, and they will eat as long as they are plants. They will have a devastating blow to the crops and cash crops in these countries.

"So what's wrong? Something happened to the washing plant?" Wang Shasha, who brought the fruit plate over, asked curiously.

Old Liu smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The washing plant is fine, but now the entire East Africa region is surrounded by locust disasters. At present, our place is still relatively quiet, who knows how long it can be calm."

"Locust plague, I just watched it in TV series before. I didn't expect that I have to experience it myself now. In the face of such natural disasters, I can't resist, I can only bear it."

It was shocked to Wang Shasha. This matter seemed to be a very distant thing for her.

"And I read the news. It seems that in some areas of Africa, there will be locust disasters every year." Liu Wenrui continued.

"It is also caused by the abnormal climate over the years, either drought or rainy. But like this, locust plagues are still rare to cover the entire East Africa region. This scale is really too large, and the consequences will be destructive."

"What about our family?" Wang Shasha asked anxiously.

"It's hard to say now. The harm of locusts is too great. It is estimated that our family will not be spared after flying over." Old Liu said with a wry smile.

"Fortunately, our farm has enough food reserves, and even if we come here, we can handle it for a while. However, in the news, the entire African region is now in short supply. We are waiting for international aid, and the prices have also risen a lot."

Many things have chain reactions, not to mention disasters like locust plagues that can directly react. Under the locust plague, there are no differences between rural people or urban people who are affected.

No one can store enough food that he needs for several months at once. Even if it is rice, flour, and other food, it is just a little reserved, so he has to buy vegetables frequently.

Locusts are also unprovocative. They catch whatever they catch and eat after they come. For East Africa, after this disaster, it may take several years to slow down.

Last night, Lao Liu was happily calculating his own industry scale, and today he felt so cold. He was also a part of making a living on this continent. After the locusts came, they would not harm him because he was handsome.

The flowers in the flower shed can be used as some protection, but what about those coffee trees, tea leaves and crops in the field? Even if you are willing to spend money now, you can't build such a big shed.

Always, Lao Liu thought he was very good. But this time, Lao Liu was timid. Compared with the big locusts, he couldn't do it either. The key is that there are many insects in the family, and one is not good, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, and tens of millions?

When will the locusts fly here? It is still unknown for the time being. If you are less lucky, you may come here in three or seven or eight days. If you are better, you will be almost the same in one month.

It is possible to cope with the past round of coffee berries acquisitions, but life is not like this hammer business. If you are harmed by locusts, you will be in a state of production cuts in the next two years.

Faced with the locusts that are about to attack, Lao Liu can't wait. He also has to think carefully about how to minimize the losses.

"This is really worse than God's plan." After thinking for a while, Old Liu sighed.

"Come on, don't get too angry," Wang Shasha persuaded.

"Slowly, we can always come up with some solutions. The talented people in the world have something to do, so if anyone thinks of a good solution. Fortunately, there are still some days for the locusts to arrive, and we have plenty of time."

In this matter, even if she wants to help, she can't help. She can't fly to the sky to kill all the locusts, so she can only give Liu Wenrui some comfort as much as possible.
