Chapter 0041 Fertile Soil Enhancement Liquid, Second Order Completed
The Dong couple worked hard, but they didn't expect someone to be even faster than them.
Around 5 p.m., Gu Tong suddenly came to the field and called out to them, "Brother Dong, sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work! How much is left? I'll take over, you two should go back and rest."
"Brother Gu, are you done with today's rotary tillage? You and Aikebai did a great job. If it were two other people, they might not have finished by noon tomorrow. I'll be done here soon, you don't need to lift a finger."
The moment Dong Jun saw Gu Tong, he knew that today's rotary tillage work was complete.
He had personally witnessed Gu Tong and Aikebai's growth; the two seemed to be born to operate agricultural machinery, and their progress was rapid.
Now, let alone Gu Tong, his agricultural machinery operation skills have even fallen behind Aikebai's.
Dong Jun felt that he could not be satisfied with the status quo and had to learn more from the two of them. He also thought it would be best to buy one or two new agricultural machines.
"I was in good shape today, so I finished faster."
As Gu Tong spoke, she walked closer.
Li Yuxiu was fixing the showerhead when she looked up at him and said with a smile, "Little Gu, do you think my skills are alright? Old Dong used to help others install Xiaobailong showerheads, and I was always his helper."
"Your sister-in-law is really capable; she's good at everything, both inside and outside the house. After you finish your work, neither of you is allowed to leave. Come to my place for dinner tonight."
Looking at the couple who were working diligently for her, Gu Tong thought to herself, "I really didn't misjudge them!"
Dong Jun and his wife have only one daughter, who is currently attending high school in the county town and only comes home once every one or two weeks.
So Gu Tong invited the two of them to his house for dinner, since they didn't necessarily have to go home to cook anyway.
"Okay, Xiao Gu, your cooking is better than mine."
Li Yuxiu readily agreed. Neither she nor her husband liked beating around the bush, and they certainly wouldn't pretend to be polite.
Gu Tong didn't rush home to cook. He waited a while until the Little White Dragon irrigation system was fully installed, and then personally tested the irrigation effect.
And I must say, the results were really good; it's a prime example of getting a lot done with a little money.
"I'll come over to water the plants first tomorrow morning, and then I'll go to Hongqi Village. If you're free, Brother Dong, could you keep an eye on things for me? I think I'll be done by the afternoon."
After packing their things, the three of them headed towards Gu Tong's house.
Watering is usually best done in the morning. Considering that they would be going to Hongqi Village to sow seeds the next day, Gu Tong discussed with Dong Jun and asked him to help look after the plants.
"No problem, I'll come over this morning and turn off the water pump once the water has been used up."
Dong Jun nodded. It was just a matter of taking a quick look around when he had some free time; he had nothing better to do anyway.
After arriving home, Gu Tong went into the kitchen to get busy and quickly prepared four dishes and a soup, with white flour steamed buns as the staple food.
"Brother Gu, your cooking skills are quite good, you're almost as good as the top chef in the county."
After taking a couple of bites, Dong Jun realized that the other person's cooking skills had improved again.
Gu Tong's cooking skills were originally only equivalent to those of a chef in a small restaurant in the countryside, but the taste of these dishes today is no worse than that of several restaurants in the county town.
Li Yuxiu also said with a smile, "Little Gu, you could make a lot of money if you opened a restaurant instead of farming."
"It's not as good as you all say. I have no intention of opening a restaurant. Cooking is fine as a hobby, but making it a profession is rather boring. Come on, Brother Dong, Sister-in-law, let me toast you."
In the evening, a bottle of baijiu was opened. Gu Tong drank it with Dong Jun, while Li Yuxiu drank tea.
We're all very familiar with each other, so there's no particular etiquette when it comes to eating and drinking; as long as we eat and drink well, that's fine.
The meal was a pleasant one, and Li Yuxiu even joked as she left:
"Xiao Gu, when my daughter gets into a good university, I'd like you to help her cook so that everyone in the village, young and old, can taste your cooking."
"Sure, I'd be happy to help."
Gu Tong laughed heartily and immediately patted his chest, saying he would take care of it.
After seeing the guests off, he gave Little Stone a bath. Little Stone had been playing wildly in the fields all day and was covered in mud.
He then went to wash up and fell asleep before 10 o'clock.
The next morning.
Gu Tong carried the [Fertile Soil Enhancement Liquid] he had previously redeemed and arrived at the edge of the field.
Today he needs to water the alfalfa and rapeseed fields. He needs to mix the synergistic agent into the water to ensure that all areas are sprayed without leaving any blind spots.
There was a ready-made water storage pond by the edge of the field, which Dong Jun filled with clean water yesterday. The pond was meant for storage, but now he was using it as a mixing tank.
Gu Tong calculated that this amount of water was definitely enough to spray a thin layer of water onto 80 acres of farmland.
So he poured the [Soil Enhancement Liquid] from the bucket into the water storage tank, stirred it well with a stick, and then turned on the water pump. Soon, the sprinklers throughout the field were spraying out a continuous mist of water.
As the sun rises, its rays spill across the fields, painting them with the colors of a rainbow.
Gu Tong took out his phone and filmed a video, then went home to wash up and eat. After eating, he went straight to Hongqi Village.
According to the agreement, there is only one task left today—sowing. Once the sowing is completed, the agreement will be fulfilled.
Gu Tong and Ai Kebai proceeded at a leisurely pace. There was only so much work to be done; they could finish it in half a day, so there was no need to rush.
The live stream is still ongoing, and everyone hopes that Greyhound will finish this order quickly and start building the sheepfold as soon as possible.
"There's no rush to build sheep pens. Wait until the weather gets warmer so the lambs are less likely to get sick and are easier to raise."
However, I must heed my family's wishes. Tomorrow I will go and buy the materials needed to build the sheepfold, and try to start construction as soon as possible. Okay, that's all for today's live stream. See you next time!
At 4:30 p.m., Gu Tong and Ai Kebai finished their sowing work.
While waiting for the employer to inspect the property, he chatted with his fans for a while and confirmed the start of the sheepfold construction.
Fans were overjoyed, some even treating his livestream like a building game, constantly offering him advice and becoming completely absorbed in it.
"Thank you so much. There were no problems with your agricultural machinery operation. The result was even better than expected."
After inspecting the sowing, the employers returned with smiles on their faces.
They showered Gu Tong and Ai Kebai with compliments, making the two a little embarrassed. Afterwards, the employers paid the remaining balance, and the two went to find Ma Dongwen.
This business was introduced by Ma Dongwen, and I should let him know when the job is done.
As it turned out, Ma Dongwen wasn't home; his family said he was still busy in the fields.
"Brother Ma, why didn't you tell me you were planting today? Why bother? Wait here, Brother Gu and I will help you."
Gu Tong and Ai Kebai found Ma Dongwen and discovered that he was sowing seeds.
However, Ma Dongwen's tractor was rather small, with no more than 50 horsepower. The seeder mounted on the back of the tractor was a very old model, and the two were even worried that this old machine might break down at any moment.
The efficiency of such a combination is self-evident.
"No need, no need, I'm not in a hurry, I'll take my time, what's the rush?"
Ma Dongwen waved his hands repeatedly, feeling a little embarrassed to trouble the two of them.
Gu Tong and Aikebai wouldn't listen to him; they drove their tractor over and helped the other party plant the seeds.
Before sunset, Ma Dongwen had finished all his sowing work.
"Thanks to your help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to finish by tomorrow."
Ma Dongwen was filled with emotion. In previous years, he would pay others to help him, but this year, having passed the exam himself, he decided to do it himself.
However, he didn't have enough money to buy new farm machinery, so he bought several second-hand machines, including tractors and seeders, which almost cost him his life.
It wasn't that others cheated him; he cheated himself. There are so many problems with used agricultural machinery.
"There's no need to be so polite with us, we wouldn't have gotten this order without you. Brother Ma, if you ever need anything at home, just let us know, lending a hand is no trouble at all."
Gu Tong knew that the other party was concerned about saving face, so he simply made his point clear and even mentioned that he knew how to repair farm machinery.
Ma Dongwen chuckled and then invited the two of them to his home for dinner.
