Chapter 0042 Construction of the Sheepfold Begins, Drone Pilot Lin Hao
"Old Ma, I really can't today. I promised Dad and Mom I'd come home for dinner. Maybe next time, let's not stand on ceremony."
Aikbai quickly refused, explaining that he had family matters to attend to and needed to return home as soon as possible.
"Alright, you guys hurry up and go, don't let me cause any trouble. Also, Xiao Gu, from now on you can just call me Lao Ma, just like Ai Kebai."
Ma Dongwen did not press the matter, but simply reiterated the issue of how to address someone.
Gu Tong didn't quite understand, but she kept it in mind.
Back home, before it got dark, Gu Tong quickly went to check on the fields.
The water pump had stopped working, and the field was wet, but there was no obvious standing water.
"As you can see, this level of irrigation is just right. Too much water will actually hinder germination. Now everything is ready except for the final touch. Just wait patiently for the seeds to sprout. Trust me, it will happen soon."
Gu Tong checked the condition of the field while filming video footage.
The irrigation went very well today. It seems that Dong Jun has been very careful and there was no problem of overwatering.
When he got home, he sent Dong Jun a message: "Brother Dong, thank you!" and then transferred 8000 yuan to him.
He has already paid the money that Aikebai was owed. Gu Tong received 14500 yuan for this order. After deducting recent expenses such as fuel and the 9300 yuan agricultural machinery subsidy he received, he still has about 166,000 yuan left in his bank account.
Dong Jun replied quickly, a string of smiley faces perfectly reflecting his pleasant mood.
Gu Tong then went to wash her hands and cook. After finishing her meal and resting, she opened the control panel.
[Effective work (rotary tillage), Shennong value +20]
[Effective work (sowing), Shennong value +20]
[Effective work (irrigation), Shennong value +8]
[Influence expands, Shennong value +6]
Shennong Value: 54 points
......
As lines of messages scrolled by, Gu Tong saw what she had gained in the past two days.
He tilled the land yesterday, sowed seeds today, and irrigated his own farmland. In the past two days, he has harvested a total of 48 Shennong points.
On the contrary, the number of new fans in the past two days was not much, with an average increase of 300 fans per day and a total increase of 600 fans in two days, earning 6 Shennong points.
The total number of fans has exceeded 5000, reaching 5476.
Gu Tong then closed the panel. He was sitting in the courtyard, where a cool breeze seemed to blow away the fatigue of the past few days.
Taking advantage of this inexplicable feeling of comfort, he took the sixth pill of the Body Strengthening Pill and actually fell asleep sitting in the chair.
When he woke up, it was past midnight. He wasn't cold at all; in fact, he felt a bit hot.
He took a cold shower to cool down the heat, but he felt very energetic and sat down at the computer to start editing videos.
I spent about two hours making a video, clicked upload, and then lay down to sleep.
the next day.
After having breakfast, Gu Tong called Ma Dongwen to inquire about purchasing materials for building the sheepfold.
"The main materials for building a sheepfold are bricks and wood. You'll also need some building materials and insulation materials. You can buy them in the village, or I can help you contact them. The prices are about the same; you decide."
"I'm too lazy to go myself, could you please help me contact them and deliver it to my door today? I also want to get a grape trellis; I'll buy it when I buy the wood."
"No problem, just wait at home. Also, do you need me to find you a repairman? How about the one who helped you build the farm machinery shed last time?"
"Thanks, Lao Ma. This time I plan to take the lead myself."
The two chatted for a while, then ended the call.
Gu Tong had already upgraded both [Construction] and [Carpentry] to the proficient level, so of course he would do it himself.
It will take some time for the seedlings to sprout, and he will also have to wait for an opportunity to learn how to operate the drone. He happened to have some free time recently, so he planned to finish these odd jobs.
His fans were probably getting a little tired of seeing agricultural machinery operations, so he could change up his livestream content.
Perhaps it was because of the upgrade in his [Construction] level, but he discovered that there was a problem with his previous plans.
The space for building a greenhouse in the yard is a bit small now. We can wait until September or October to clear away the vegetable patch and garden together and build a winter greenhouse.
There are also problems with farm machinery entering and exiting through the gate. The problem is that the farm machinery runs over everything, and the yard is never clean, which is annoying to look at.
"Yes, we can open another gate in the wall near the farm machinery shed, specifically for the entry and exit of farm machinery."
The route for agricultural machinery to enter and exit was planned, and a stone-paved road could be built from the main entrance to the house.
This avoids getting your feet muddy when the weather is bad, and it also looks more aesthetically pleasing.
I'm considering building a grape trellis on both sides of the stone path leading from the living room door to the courtyard gate. In the summer, people can enjoy the shade under the grapes, or sit under the trellis to drink and have barbecue.
Gu Tong finalized the layout of the entire courtyard, and then went to the storage room to process the vegetable and flower seeds.
He bought these seeds on the side when he went to buy fertilizer and pesticides last time, and they didn't cost much.
After processing the seeds, and with no further news from Ma Dongwen, Gu Tong went back to her room, turned on her computer, and searched for a tutorial on "operating agricultural drones."
As expected, there's everything online. He clicked on a video to watch and got more and more engrossed. He watched it for over an hour before getting up to rest in the yard for a while.
"It seems that there is indeed a world of difference between agricultural drones and small home drones."
Watching videos can teach you some basic knowledge, but there's a huge gap between that and actually operating an agricultural drone.
Gu Tong didn't dare risk crashing the plane, and planned to find a training course to study for a while.
Unfortunately, the [Pilot] skill does not include unmanned aerial vehicle control, otherwise there would be no need for this trouble.
After playing with Little Stone in the yard for a while, a car horn sounded outside the gate.
"Xiao Gu, open the door, I've delivered your goods."
A moment later, Ma Dongwen started knocking on the door, and Gu Tong quickly went over and opened it.
"Old Ma, you're coming along to deliver goods too? Drive the truck in, just unload the stuff by the wall."
After exchanging greetings with Ma Dongwen, Gu Tong directed the driver to park the truck in a suitable location, and the driver and the loader he brought began unloading the goods.
Doing business nowadays is very competitive; you not only have to deliver goods to the door, but you also have to be responsible for loading and unloading.
"Xiao Gu, the red bricks, timber, cement, and insulation boards have all been delivered to you. See if you need anything else, and I'll bring it over for you later."
Ma Dongwen and Gu Tong lent a hand, and the truckload of goods was quickly unloaded. The delivery personnel and vehicle then left.
The two washed their hands and sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.
"We have enough materials. If we're really missing anything, I can just go to the village to buy it myself. Old Ma, have lunch here with me, don't leave."
Gu Tong is now considered an expert in construction. He can tell at a glance that these materials are definitely enough to build a sheep pen.
As for small items, they can be bought anytime if needed, so there's no need to bother Ma Dongwen again.
Afterwards, Gu Tong asked Ma Dongwen to have lunch at his home, and then got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
We had a simple lunch with two dishes and hand-pulled noodles as the main course. The two of us enjoyed the meal very much and finished everything.
"By the way, Xiao Gu, the thing you asked me to ask about has been settled. Lin Hao from Blake Village is a pretty good pilot; he's been in the business for several years. I asked someone to speak to him, and he's willing to teach you."
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Ma Dongwen said that he had already contacted a drone pilot and even gave Gu Tong the pilot's phone number.
Gu Tong was overjoyed. Since he couldn't find a suitable training class recently, learning from an experienced person was a good option.
The system already included the [Piloting] skill. If one can quickly get started through learning, will the system also include skills like [Flight Control] or [Aviation]?
His heart was filled with anticipation.
