Chapter 0077 Spraying pesticides, it's said that enemies always meet.
Gu Tong entered the Shennong Pavilion and, after careful selection, decided to exchange for the Insect Repellent Enhancement Liquid, the Disease Prevention Enhancement Liquid, and the Feed Enhancement Liquid.
Both the insect repellent and disease-preventing synergists are very effective in preventing and controlling pests and diseases. He will need them soon, as this is the season when alfalfa and rapeseed are most susceptible to pests and diseases.
The feed enhancer does not change the composition of the feed, but it can significantly improve the absorption rate, which is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of livestock.
The synergistic liquid can efficiently break down the cellulose and lignin abundant in feed. After treatment, the absorption rate of roughage (pasture) can soar to over 85%, and concentrate can be almost completely absorbed by livestock.
In this way, the amount of roughage used can be reduced by more than half, and the amount of concentrate used can be reduced by more than two-thirds.
However, the price of [Feed Enhancer Liquid] is not cheap. Taking 50 sheep as an example, if they are kept entirely in enclosures, it would take 150 Shennong Points to exchange for a month's supply of enhancer liquid.
That means 50 sheep require 5 Shennong points per day. If he didn't have enough Shennong points right now, he wouldn't be willing to exchange them.
Of course, with grazing being the primary mode of production at present, the amount of feed enhancer used will be greatly reduced.
The various synergistic solutions I redeemed earlier have been tested and proven to be surprisingly effective.
So he directly exchanged for enough [Deworming Enhancer] and [Disease-Removing Enhancer] for 80 acres of land, and enough [Feed Enhancer] for 50 sheep for one month, spending a total of 166 Shennong Points.
[Shennong Points: 616]
.......
He put the enhanced liquid he had redeemed in the storage room, went inside, turned on his computer, edited a video, uploaded it, and then lay down to sleep.
the next day.
Gu Tong went to the field early in the morning to check and confirm that pesticides needed to be sprayed.
After breakfast, he first mixed and diluted the two synergistic solutions, and then took the solution and drone to the field to carry out spraying operations.
"Family, I need to spray pesticides on the fields today. The rapeseed and alfalfa are showing signs of pests and diseases, so we must act quickly, otherwise it will affect the yield."
Gu Tong started the live stream first, and after a brief opening, she got busy.
Pest and disease control is a crucial part of field management, and he definitely wants to demonstrate it to everyone. Regardless of how well the live stream goes, he will continue to do so.
The drone quickly took to the sky and then carried out spraying operations according to the planned route.
The live stream was relatively quiet today. After all, we had just seen large areas of fields and three machines working together to spray the fields, so we couldn't muster any enthusiasm for Gu Tong's mere 80 acres of farmland being sprayed.
The entire operation took an hour. Afterwards, Gu Tong observed the fields and said, "The rapeseed and alfalfa are growing well, and there are not many weeds in the fields. Everyone can look forward to a bumper harvest."
After saying that, he ended the broadcast immediately.
When he got home and saw that it was still early, he leisurely drove the sheep to graze, aiming to make sure nothing was delayed.
Just as Gu Tong stepped into Xiaodonggou, his cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was a call from Ilyas, so he quickly answered it.
"Xiao Gu, the rapeseed fields in the village need to be sprayed with pesticides as soon as possible to prevent sclerotinia disease and control aphids. Come over to my house for dinner tonight, and we'll meet to discuss the specific arrangements."
Ilyas said that in the future, the village will contact Gu Tong for agricultural machinery services and aerial spraying services.
He kept his word and personally tallied the area of land that needed spraying over the past few days before calling the other party.
"Okay, okay, I'll be there around seven o'clock."
Gu Tong didn't say anything more and then hung up.
He stayed at Xiaodonggou Ranch until the afternoon, then drove the sheep back home.
Gu Tong had dinner at Ilyas's house. He learned that the rapeseed fields that needed spraying were 1500 mu (approximately 100 hectares), covering almost all the rapeseed fields in the village.
"Xiao Gu, you don't need to deal with each household individually. I will represent the village and sign the agreement directly with you."
Ilyas took charge of the village's pesticide spraying to reduce trouble.
Gu Tong smiled gratefully at the other party and said, "Okay, then let's charge 8 yuan per mu for the operation fee."
He offered a very low price; the previous large order of 5000 mu was priced at 10 yuan per mu, which is equivalent to a direct 20% discount.
"Xiao Gu, on behalf of the whole village, thank you! I will remember your kindness, and the village will not let you suffer any losses."
Ilyas sensed the other party's sincerity, so he didn't waste any time and directly signed the aerial spraying service agreement with Gu Tong.
The total price of the agreement is 12000 yuan. The village is responsible for purchasing pesticides, and Gu Tong only needs to provide the spraying operation.
He then glanced at the pesticide purchase list and offered a suggestion: "The pesticides themselves are fine, but I suggest combining the boron fertilizer application with the pesticide spraying. What do you think?"
"No problem, we'll do it your way."
In addition to pesticides, the village has also prepared boron fertilizer, and Gu Tong has agreed to come and work on it tomorrow morning.
When he got home that evening, he texted Aikebai, asking if he was interested in participating in the spraying operation.
If he were to work alone, it would take him approximately 8 hours to complete 1500 acres of land. Considering other factors, such as changes in wind speed and charging, the optimal solution would be to complete it within two days.
He also wanted to give Aikbai more opportunities to practice, which is why he asked.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Gu. I don't want any payment; consider it practice."
Aikel was overjoyed and even offered to forgo any payment.
Gu Tong naturally refused, offering the other party 4000 yuan as a novice's pay, while he himself would keep 8000 yuan.
The second day's assignment went smoothly, and under Gu Tong's guidance, Aikebai's skills improved significantly. This time, it was just the two of them on the assignment, and with their mentor by his side, Aikebai felt particularly at ease.
The two completed the spraying operation on 1500 acres of land in just half a day.
Gu Tong returned home and quickly cooked a pot of noodles.
After eating, he took out the feed enhancer and sprayed it on the hay before feeding the sheep.
The concentrated feed given at night was treated in the same way. The next morning, he observed the sheep droppings and found that they had become finer and the total amount had decreased.
Previously, the sheep droppings were not only plentiful but also coarse and dry, even containing some undigested material. This indicates that after treatment with the enhancer solution, the feed can indeed be absorbed by the sheep efficiently.
"No amount of Shennong points is enough!"
The items he exchanged from the Shennong Pavilion were all good, but his current Shennong Points were simply not enough to withstand his extravagant spending.
Gu Tong sat in the courtyard and opened the control panel; messages floated past his eyes.
[Effective operation (aerial spraying), Shennong value +8]
[Effective operation (aerial spraying), Shennong value +150]
Shennong Value: 774 points
......
Gu Tong was very satisfied with the Shennong Points he had gained from his homework over the past two days.
An extra 8000 yuan was deposited into the bank account, bringing the account balance to 34 yuan.
"Things are getting better and better! Making this decision to settle in Nasu was definitely the right one!"
Gu Tong felt hopeful and immediately got up to herd the sheep to graze.
The grazing will be done intermittently from now on. Since he gritted his teeth and exchanged for the [Feed Enhancer], there is no need for him to work hard every day just to save money on feed.
He returned home in the afternoon, intending to rest for a while, but before he could even sit down properly, a large group of people rushed into the yard.
He hadn't forgotten the short, stout middle-aged man at the head of the group; he was none other than Zhao Zhigang from the Agricultural Machinery Office.
Township official Yusup quickened his pace, walked up to Gu Tong, and whispered, "Director Zhao from the Agricultural Machinery Office is leading a team to the countryside to inspect the work. Gu, just cooperate. It's nothing special, just routine work."
Almost all the cadres in the township knew about the feud between Gu Tong and Zhao Zhigang, which also involved the behemoth that was Honghe.
Yusup was worried that Gu Tong might be resistant and that he might suffer a loss, so he stepped forward to explain.
