After the divorce, he settled in Northwest China and became a Shennong (a legendary Chinese farmer).

"I didn't say that."

"I didn't say that either."

Dong Jun and Ai Kebai both denied it, saying that neither of them are big mouths.

Ma Dongwen wasn't sure how the villagers knew the price, so he said, "Maybe Professor Mao told them himself? But let's not talk about that. Xiao Gu, are you in or not going to do this deal?"

Gu Tong trusted his partner, so he stopped worrying about the price leak.

He briefly exchanged views with Dong Jun and Ai Kebai, and then said, "We'll take this order, but we need to sign an 'Agricultural Machinery Service Agreement' and pay a 50% prepayment first, and then we'll start working on-site immediately."

"Then let's go, let's go straight to our village."

Ma Dongwen is also an impatient person; he stood up and prepared to leave.

Gu Tong asked the other party to wait a moment while he turned on his computer and printed out several pre-prepared agreement templates.

I bought the printer online a while ago, and I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

The group drove to Hongqi Village and, after inspecting the farmland, quickly signed agricultural machinery service agreements with the farmers.

The agricultural machinery service prices stipulated in the agreement are very affordable: 50 yuan per mu for plowing, 40 yuan per mu for spreading fertilizer, 40 yuan per mu for rotary tillage/land preparation, and 55 yuan per mu for sowing.

The total land area is 200 mu, and the total price agreed upon is 37000 yuan.

"Xiao Gu, starting work tomorrow seems a bit too rushed. Should I talk to them and ask them to start the day after tomorrow?"

After signing the agreement, Gu Tong and the other two prepared to return by car.

Ma Dongwen was worried that the work would be rushed tomorrow, so he wanted to give them an extra day.

"Thank you, Brother Ma. We'll go back and make the necessary preparations tonight, and we'll be perfectly fine to start work tomorrow."

Gu Tong smiled, appearing very confident.

Ma Dongwen didn't say anything more. He had a lot of things to do, so he waved and turned to leave.

Gu Tong, Dong Jun, and Ai Kebai returned to his home together and then discussed the homework arrangements for tomorrow.

"Tomorrow morning, Aikbai and I will start tilling the land. All 200 mu of land is cultivated, and the two of us can work on at least 20 mu per hour. We'll try to finish it within a day."

"Brother Dong, you can haul the fertilizer first tomorrow morning, and then spread it on the plots we've tilled. That way, tilling and fertilizing can be done simultaneously, maximizing efficiency."

"The day after tomorrow and the day after that, Aikbai and I will be able to easily complete the rotary tillage and sowing, which means we can complete this agreement within three days."

Gu Tong's proposal received unanimous approval from the other two.

With Gu Tong's [Driving] skill level improved to proficient, Ai Kebai was also able to perform steadily after previous training, greatly improving the efficiency of agricultural machinery operations.

They were confident they could complete the entire process within 3 days, while the agreement stipulated a 7-day timeframe.

Afterwards, Dong Jun and Ai Kebai left together and went home.

This is the first time the three-person team has undertaken agricultural machinery services. Previously, Ai Kebai was just helping out, but this time they need to share the profits.

The transportation and spreading of fertilizer cost a total of 8000 yuan, which was all given to Dong Jun.

The remaining costs for tilling, rotary tilling, and sowing totaled 29000 yuan, which was split equally between Gu Tong and Aikebai, meaning each of them received 14500 yuan.

When they discussed it, Dong Jun and Ai Kebai both felt that Gu Tong was taking too little, and they were willing to give Gu Tong 10% of their own income.

However, Gu Tong did not agree. He and Aikebai would not participate in the fertilizer spreading operation, which Dong Jun would have to complete alone.

While Aikebai's technology is not as advanced as ours, their agricultural machinery is larger and more advanced, so the two have roughly the same operating efficiency.

Gu Tong felt that small groups should try to be fair in the distribution of benefits, otherwise cracks would appear sooner or later.

As for Lao Ma, we can treat him to a meal later.

night.

Gu Tong went to the countryside to eat pilaf, and while he was there, he refueled the tractor. On his way back, he brought back some meat bones for Xiao Shitou.

Little Stone has been feeling rather stifled lately, spending all his time cooped up in the yard, looking rather listless.

"I'll take you out in a couple of days, but you have to be good and not run around."

Gu Tong wanted to laugh when she saw the little guy's expression, but she still offered a reassuring remark.

He then read the drone's user manual for a while before going to bed early.

The next day, as soon as it was light, Gu Tong got up to check the farm machinery, then did his morning exercise, washed up, and ate breakfast.

After finishing his meal, he drove his tractor straight to Hongqi Village, which was not far from his home; he arrived in less than half an hour.

"Brother Dong, Aikebai, you two are here so early?"

When he arrived at the field, Dong Jun and Ai Kebai were chatting together.

He went up to greet the two of them, set up the tripod, and then started the live stream.

"Good morning, everyone! Yesterday I received a new order for agricultural machinery services on 200 acres of land, requiring the completion of the entire process. Today I'd like to demonstrate three machines working together; I hope you'll enjoy it."

Gu Tong stood in front of the camera and gave his opening remarks, then took Ai Kebai to inspect the other party's farm machinery.

Because there was no prior notice, not many fans entered the live stream at this time. By the time he finished his preparations, the number of viewers in the live stream had just exceeded 500.

Gu Tong didn't care. He pulled Ai Kebai and Dong Jun together and waved in front of the camera before getting straight to work.

Dong Jun went to the village to pick up fertilizer, while Gu Tong and Aikebai began working in parallel, maintaining a safe distance.

Fans saw through the camera lens the mud churning behind the two tractors, like waves rising from flat ground, a truly spectacular sight.

The truck that hauled the fertilizer was provided by the host. As soon as the fertilizer arrived, Dong Jun began loading it.

He then began spreading fertilizer along the areas where the tilling had been completed. He was very efficient at spreading fertilizer, able to work on more than 25 acres per hour, and he never lagged behind.

[Lonely Swordsman]: "The little dog said the three machines were working, and it's true!"

【Small Town Exam Taker 123】: "Xigou, Xiao Ai, and the uncle from the neighboring village, the three of them work together very well in an assembly line style. Thumbs up!"

......

About an hour after the broadcast started, the number of viewers in the live stream surged to over 2500.

The comments on the screen were mostly praise, and there weren't many memes; everyone seemed to be having a good time. Watching mechanized farm work is stress-relieving, especially when it involves three machines working together.

Among these fans was Fan Li, who had arranged to visit Gu Tong's home yesterday, but he sent a message saying he was out making money.

Right now, she's sitting in the car watching a live stream, driven by Gulixian.

"I can't watch the live stream, I'm so unhappy!"

Gulixian, also known as [Ice Lake Snow Lotus], is a die-hard fan of Gu Tong. Whenever she has time, she either watches his live streams or his videos.

Like Fan Li, she also needed to conduct customer follow-ups, so the two agreed to set off together.

"Just drive your car properly, we'll go straight to Hongqi Village, so you can squat on the edge of the field and look around to your heart's content."

Fan Li responded irritably, then laughed at herself.

Gu Tong had long forgotten about his agreement with Fan Li. He could visit her anytime, or even if she was willing to come to Hongqi Village. He could chat with her during his break.

However, he didn't know that Gulixian was also coming.

A number of people from Hongqi Village were watching the spectacle along the edge of the field, including two elderly people who had lost their only child. They couldn't afford to hire help to farm and greatly envied the efficiency of mechanized farming, but could only sigh in vain.

At this moment, Yi Mingjiang rode his bicycle past from a distance and came over when he saw the scene.

Last night, he played cards at Ma Xiaojun's house in Hongqi Village, playing for most of the night, but lost everything. He found a corner to sleep in for a while, and only got up to go home now.
