Chapter 0069 Direct Supply from the City, Qiaxiu
"You can't buy these parts at other stores? That shouldn't be the case. The parts on the list are the most commonly used; they should have them in stock. Gu Tong, I can help you connect with the manufacturers, but I can't help you with other off-brand agricultural machinery parts."
Fan Li carefully examined the parts list and couldn't help but frown.
It was obvious that someone was making things difficult for Gu Tong and her group behind their backs, but there wasn't much she could do about it.
Agricultural machinery companies mainly sell complete machines, and after-sales service requires support from the manufacturer. They are also powerless to provide services for off-brand agricultural machinery.
Dong Jun and Ma Dongwen could only get their secondhand agricultural machinery parts from agricultural machinery parts dealers.
"Understood! Thank you, Manager Fan. I'll think of another way first, and come back to you if nothing else works."
Gu Tong thought about it and decided not to rush to contact the manufacturer.
After all, the four-person team is a whole, and the repair work should be considered comprehensively.
"Gu Tong, there are some things I couldn't say earlier. Someone is pulling strings behind the scenes to prevent major agricultural machinery parts suppliers from selling parts to you. I can't help you with that, but I have friends in the city who work in this industry. You can try to find a solution through them."
Fan Li saw the two of them outside, and then quietly gave Gu Tong a business card.
She knew that this matter was inextricably linked to Li Yong and Honghe behind him. In addition, Zhao Zhigang from the Agricultural Machinery Office had also spoken to the Agricultural Machinery Company.
She couldn't afford to offend either of them, so she could only offer Gu Tong help indirectly.
Gu Tong held the business card and smiled.
"Thank you so much, Manager Fan! People say true friendship is revealed in times of trouble, and I'll remember this kindness!"
After getting into the car, Aikebai said indignantly, "It's that bastard Li Yong again, pulling strings behind the scenes! Brother Gu, isn't there any way we can deal with him?"
By this time, even Aikelbai had realized what was happening.
"We'll definitely settle all the old scores when we get the chance! But the key issue isn't Li Yong, it's Honghe. Putting that aside for now, the most urgent thing is to solve the problem of getting spare parts."
Gu Tong then started the car and drove away from the county town.
The first thing he did after returning home was to take out his business card and call Wang Ziyu.
"Fan Li has already told me about this. Add me on WeChat and send me the parts list."
Wang Ziyu is Fan Li's classmate and runs a sizable agricultural machinery parts company in Yiwu City.
After Gu Tong introduced herself, she didn't waste any time and directly added the other party on WeChat, obtaining the parts list.
About ten minutes later, Wang Ziyu replied to Gu Tong: "If all these parts can be provided, we can sign a supply agreement online and guarantee delivery within three days."
"Okay, thanks!"
Gu Tong then signed a supply agreement with the other party online and temporarily put the matter aside.
He became increasingly angry at home, so he wrote down the story of how he was harassed when buying spare parts and then filed a formal complaint with the relevant departments in the county.
The report alleges that Honghe used unfair means to suppress its competitors.
It doesn't matter whether there's solid evidence or not; he has to expose this matter to disgust Li Yong and Honghe behind him.
in the afternoon.
Gu Tong received a call from Ilyas, inviting him to his home for dinner that evening.
Because of Little Stone, he had actually wanted to visit him for a long time, so he readily agreed.
When it was almost time, he carried some fruit and nutritional supplements into Ilyas's yard, and then froze on the spot.
He hadn't expected there to be so many people in the courtyard—old people, women, and children, but mostly able-bodied men from the village.
Ilyas had someone take away the things Gu Tong brought, while he himself stood solemnly in front of Gu Tong, carrying a large cloth bag.
Several elderly people then gathered around, muttering incantations that sounded like chanting or reciting.
Although Gu Tong couldn't understand, she was also infected by the atmosphere, and straightened her back, waiting for the next change.
Ilyas pulled a handful of yogurt curds and candies from his cloth bag and sprinkled them on Gu Tong's head.
Yogurt curds and candies fell down his shoulder onto the red bricks. Ilyas started circling Gu Tong until his cloth bag was empty.
"Xiao Gu, you're great! You're a true Nasu person!"
At this point, Ilyas pointed to the candies and yogurt curds scattered around Gu Tong, "This land has completely accepted you, and from now on you are one of us."
Then he turned to the others in the courtyard and said, "If anyone bullies Gu Tong, will you allow it?"
"No way! Absolutely not!"
Everyone answered without hesitation.
"Alright! From now on, our Salbu Village will sever all ties with Honghe and will not allow Li Yong and his gang to enter the village."
After he finished speaking, Ilyas waved his hand, and the old man stopped chanting. The children in the yard rushed over and picked up all the yogurt curds and candies on the ground.
At this point, Dong Jun stepped forward and whispered to Gu Tong, "This is 'Qiaxiu,' which is to offer you our sincerest blessings and also represents the fact that the whole village has officially accepted you."
After a pause, he continued, "The last time I performed for outsiders was twenty years ago. Back then, that teacher who came to the border region also won the respect of the whole village."
Gu Tong nodded, feeling a heavy weight in her heart.
He imitated the old people, peeled off the wrapper of a yogurt curd, and put it in his mouth.
The milk curds tasted sweet and sour, and the setting sun shone on him, casting a long shadow.
After dinner, I got home and it was already past 10 p.m.
Gu Tong took a shower and then lay down on the bed, gradually calming down.
During the meal, he asked Ilyas about herding, and to his surprise, it was simpler than he had imagined.
Salbu village has its own public pasture, allowing villagers to graze their sheep on the natural grasslands during the summer and autumn seasons, provided that a balance between grass and livestock is maintained. The cost is very low, only 20 yuan per sheep per year.
Ilyas said that Gu Tong could enjoy the same treatment as other villagers, and once the village completed the necessary procedures, he could go herding whenever he wanted.
Today's events greatly impacted Gu Tong. He tossed and turned in bed, not knowing how long it took before he finally fell asleep.
Two days later.
The agricultural machinery parts from Wang Ziyu's side arrived as scheduled. Gu Tong opened the box and inspected the goods on the spot, and found that the quality of this batch of goods was very good.
He paid immediately and then began repairing his farm machinery.
"Family members, my farm machinery has been working non-stop since spring planting began, and overworking it has caused many problems. Some parts need to be replaced, and I'm doing that now."
Gu Tong started the live stream, and after a few opening remarks, he began to focus on repairing the machine.
He initially thought that live streams about repairs might not be popular, but it turned out he was completely wrong.
The live stream quickly gained popularity, and the platform even gave it a small recommendation.
【Lonely Swordsman】: "Skigami has skillful hands; he's clearly a seasoned craftsman."
[Traveling with the Birds]: "Don't you guys think that greyhounds should be working in factories tightening screws, instead of farming?"
【Ice Lake Snow Lotus】: "He's a true all-rounder; he can excel at anything he does!"
......
Gu Tong heard the voice announcement through her earphones and couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Being recognized by everyone is a very happy thing, and it makes him feel less lonely when he is working hard in the remote western regions.
With his proficient level of repair skills, Gu Tong's repair process is as smooth as flowing water, and extremely aesthetically pleasing.
Fans enjoyed the show, and many started sending him gifts, leading to a rapid increase in new fans.
By noon, Gu Tong had completed all the repair tasks.
