Chapter 0089 Graduation and Harvest
After placing the synergistic solution, Gu Tong went to Salbu Village to carry out topdressing with Aikebai.
Ai Kebai is becoming more and more skilled at operating the vehicle. Even when he encounters an emergency, he doesn't panic like before and can handle it well.
In less than three hours, the two completed the spraying operation on 800 acres of alfalfa fields.
"Xiao Gu, the money has been transferred to you."
Ilyas then paid the full amount for the additional fertilizer, which totaled 2.4 yuan.
After deducting the cost of purchasing fertilizer, the net profit from this operation was 8000 yuan.
Gu Tong took 5600 yuan, and Ai Kebai took 2400 yuan. The two then went to each other's homes for lunch.
The root enhancement solution needed this afternoon is on the truck bed. Just dilute it with water according to the fixed ratio and spray it directly.
After dinner, Gu Tong and Ai Kebai worked together. Their teamwork became increasingly seamless, and they finished the task in less than four hours.
Kurban paid 5 yuan directly. The price for spraying, including labor and materials, was 50 yuan per mu, of which 40 yuan was for the pesticide solution (enhancing solution) and 10 yuan was for the operation fee.
Gu Tong calculated the total homework fee to be 1 yuan and gave Ai Kebai 3000 yuan.
Including the cost of the enhancer solution, he actually earned 4.7 yuan from this transaction.
"Aikbai, your drone piloting skills are already very proficient. From now on, for the orders I take on, we'll split the profits 40/60, I get 60% and you get 40%."
Gu Tong packed up the drones and then explained the new allocation rules to Ai Kebai.
The first time I took Aikebai and Lin Hao out on a mission, the principle of allocation was 4:4:2, with Gu Tong and Lin Hao each taking 40% and Aikebai taking 20%.
Subsequently, as Aikebai's technology matured, Gu Tong allocated him a share of 30%-33.33%.
After such a long period of training, Ai Kebai was finally considered to have graduated, and so he changed the distribution rules again.
"Brother Gu, this is not good. I'm happy with 30%. Without your guidance, I might not be able to operate on my own by now."
Aikebai was a little embarrassed and kept declining.
"Just take it, don't fuss. That's all, I'm going back now, I'll come back in a few days to spray the pesticides."
Gu Tong waved his hand, telling the other party not to say anything more, and that the matter was settled.
Aikbai's mouth moved a few times, but he ultimately didn't make a sound.
Recalling his clumsy self before, and now his ability to skillfully operate agricultural machinery and drones, tears welled up in his eyes.
Gu Tong then drove home, cooked and ate, and then began to take stock of the day's achievements.
Today, my bank account balance increased again, returning to above 10 yuan, reaching 10.16 yuan.
Upon opening the panel, several messages appear.
[Effective operation (aerial spraying), Shennong value +80]
[Effective operation (aerial spraying), Shennong value +100]
Shennong Value: 1277 points
......
The purchase of a general-purpose combine harvester and a hay harvester had further worsened Gu Tong's financial situation. However, the economic benefits brought by the harvester were also considerable; sometimes, one really does need to push oneself.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when his bank account balance returned to over 10 yuan.
That evening, Gu Tong edited a video and uploaded it.
He hasn't been doing many live streams these past few days because most of them involve repetitive work scenarios, and he's afraid his fans will get tired of seeing the same content.
He has consistently posted videos as a good supplement, which brings him some traffic.
the next day.
After everyone rested, Gu Tong drove the sheep to the pasture.
Due to various matters, the stock of hay has been consumed quite a bit recently, and grazing the livestock outside can solve this problem.
He initially thought it was just a routine herding activity, but when he arrived at Xiaodonggou Ranch, he found that there were quite a few people there.
"Brother Gu..."
At this moment, a young man walked over and greeted Gu Tong.
This man is Diyar from Salbu Village. He had previously gone to Gu Tong's house to pick up Dong Jun, and the two knew each other.
What are you doing?
Gu Tong shook hands with the other person and then asked curiously.
"They were from the provincial scientific expedition team, and they said they were there to investigate the distribution of Lithospermum erythrorhizon in the Western Regions. I was their guide."
The young man responded with a smile, and Gu Tong suddenly realized what he meant.
He was no stranger to the purple gromwell from the Western Regions; it was recorded in detail in the "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, Basic Chapter," and was a precious herb.
Because of its high economic value, it was heavily poached and illegally mined in previous years, and was listed as an endangered wild plant.
The government later increased its protection efforts, and many organizations carried out rescue breeding work in the original habitat of Lithospermum erythrorhizon in the Western Regions.
It seems that artificial cultivation is not possible at present.
At that moment, Chen Ye, the team leader, called out from the other side: "Guide, we're setting off."
Diar waved to Gu Tong, then quickly ran over and set off with the research team into the depths of the mountains.
Gu Tong then had Xiao Shitou and another sheepdog drive the sheep to graze, while he himself sat on a small hill to rest.
I recalled some information about [Western Regions Purple Grass] in my mind and suddenly became interested.
The current market price for Lithospermum erythrorhizon from the Western Regions is 500 yuan per kilogram, but there's still demand but no supply, and the market is flooded with counterfeit products. If it could be cultivated artificially, wouldn't that be much better than growing alfalfa or rapeseed?
At that moment, a strong impulse suddenly surged within him, and he wanted to try artificially cultivating [Western Region Purple Grass].
Around two o'clock, Gu Tong drove the sheep home.
He washed his chestnut horse, looked up and saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was not a breath of wind around, making it almost impossible to breathe.
"It's going to rain! Oh no, Old Lame Horse's alfalfa is still in the field and hasn't been harvested yet."
Based on various signs, Gu Tong judged that it would rain from evening to night.
He immediately thought of his previous client, Old Lame Horse, and quickly called him.
"It's very likely to rain this evening and into the night. You should contact a transport vehicle as soon as possible, and I'll help you bundle it up quickly."
"Oh no? The weather forecast didn't say it was going to rain. What should we do? Come on over, I'll contact the car right away."
Old Lame Horse was skeptical, but he dared not gamble. If the other party was right, the alfalfa in the field would mold and rot after being rained on.
So he agreed to harvest the alfalfa and, after hanging up the machine, quickly contacted a transport vehicle.
Gu Tong contacted Dong Jun, Ma Dongwen, Aikebai, and Chen Liang without stopping, and then drove the harvester straight to Suktohai Village.
At 3:10 p.m., four harvesters drove into Old Lame Horse's field.
Ai Kebai was still doing the hay-gathering work, while Gu Tong and the other two were doing the bundling work.
Chen Liang and his friend followed closely behind, each driving a forklift, loading the truck in a tense but orderly manner.
Old Lame Horse still has some skills. The tractors transporting hay bales formed a long line, and the transportation link, which is usually the most prone to delays, did not falter at all.
After more than three hours of continuous work, at 6:40 a.m., all the hay bales in the field were moved to a safe place.
"Xiao Gu, everyone, thank you for your hard work. Dinner is prepared at home, please eat before you go back. Also, today's loading fee is on me, since we used two forklifts to save time."
Old Lame Horse was quite particular about his actions; since things had come to this point, he showed considerable enthusiasm.
He even voluntarily covered the cost of the forklift, because rush harvesting is different from normal operations, and he understood the proper rules.
Gu Tong didn't refuse, but halfway through the meal, there was a sudden thunderstorm outside, and a torrential downpour began.
The weather station also issued a timely warning for thunderstorms and strong winds, but for Old Lame Horse, the warning came too late.
He secretly rejoiced that he had listened to Gu Tong's advice and harvested the alfalfa in the field, otherwise he would have suffered a great loss.
After the meal, everyone said goodbye and left.
Old Lame Horse was naturally very grateful and said that he would definitely contact Gu Tong if he needed agricultural machinery services or aerial spraying services in the future.
"I wonder if the expedition team has returned from the mountains yet? With such heavy rain, it's not safe in the mountains."
Back home, a thought suddenly popped into Gu Tong's mind.
Just then, his phone rang, and when he answered, Ilias's slightly hoarse voice came through the receiver:
"Xiao Gu, Diyal and his expedition team encountered a flash flood on their way back, and two team members were injured. Diyal said they are right where you met this morning, and the team only has one horse. Could you ride over there to check on them? The village's rescue team will be there soon."
"OK!"
Without further ado, Gu Tong hung up the phone, went inside to get some raincoats, headlamps, ropes, first-aid kits, and other items, and then went to the stable.
The chestnut horse was pawing restlessly, as if waiting for its master to mount and go to war.
A little later, Gu Tong rode his chestnut horse, carrying Xiao Shitou, and rushed into the rain.
