Chapter 0007 Unexpected Incident, Safety Hazard
"Mr. Gu, please wait a moment. There's one more thing I need to tell you. After you've paid the full amount for the goods, you can apply for a subsidy at the county agricultural machinery office. Depending on the types and amounts of agricultural machinery you purchased, you can expect to receive a subsidy of approximately 9300 yuan."
Before leaving, Fan Li specifically reminded everyone about the agricultural machinery subsidy, showing her meticulous attention to detail in her work.
"Thank you! I'll remember that. Manager Fan, please wait a moment, see you later."
Gu Tong thanked them and then turned to leave.
He had lunch in the county town, then bought some meat, vegetables, and a few other small items before driving back home.
"I'm quite busy every day."
After taking a nap at noon, Gu Tong prepared to continue cleaning the yard and do a live stream.
He casually made a sarcastic remark, found a good spot to shoot, turned on his phone, put on his Bluetooth earphones, and waved with a smile at the camera:
"Good afternoon, everyone! I went to the county to buy farm machinery this morning, and after coming back I had to clean the yard. Isn't that tiring? Without further ado, let's get started!"
Gu Tong's livestreaming style has always been like this: decisive and efficient, with action outweighing his words.
He began to mow the grass with great effort and soon noticed changes in his body. The effects of the "Body Strengthening Pill" were fully manifested; his movements were faster and more powerful than before, and he didn't tire as easily.
The pace of cleaning the yard began to pick up, and Gu Tong was enjoying it.
More than 20 fans gradually entered the live stream room. As of now, he has 63 fans, an increase of 4 compared to yesterday.
Gulixian had nothing to do in the afternoon. Gu Tong's loan application and documents had already been submitted, and there were no new clients for the time being, so she found a place to open Douyin (TikTok) and happened to see Gu Tong's live stream, so she clicked into the live stream room.
Seeing Gu Tong working hard and sweating profusely, she smiled and shook her head, then sent a message.
Ice Lake Snow Lotus: "Host, didn't you order all sorts of agricultural machinery? Once you get it, you won't have to work this hard."
Gu Tong activated the comment broadcast function, and the synchronized voice message entered his ears.
"I went to the county this morning to buy farm machinery. I only paid a deposit, and it will take at least a week for the machinery to arrive. Besides, doing some physical labor is good too; I can treat it as exercise."
Gu Tong straightened up, glanced back at the screen, and responded with a smile.
The previously quiet live stream room was suddenly flooded with a bunch of comments.
Lonely Swordsman: "With your small frame, you definitely need to train more."
I don't eat donkey meat: "Little Dog worked really hard today, what did you have for lunch?"
Following the birds on a trip: "The streamer must have taken fake medicine..."
Ice Lake Snow Lotus: "Mmm, good luck, streamer!"
......
"My family is so welcoming! I'll keep going!"
While chatting casually with her fans, Gu Tong continued mowing the grass and clearing away the stones.
Around 7 o'clock, the live stream shifted its focus, and the scene changed to the kitchen.
"Today I'm going to make a pot of clear stewed mutton. These leg meats have been soaked in advance, cleaned thoroughly, and then put directly into the pot with cold water. The mutton here is very fresh and not gamey at all, so it tastes great without needing too many seasonings."
This is a method taught by a restaurant owner in the village; it's very simple, isn't it? Alright, everyone, that concludes today's live stream. Have a great day! See you next time!
Gu Tong skimmed the foam off the pot, then turned off the live stream and walked out of the kitchen with her phone.
The mutton in the pot needed to simmer for at least an hour, and he planned to continue working in the yard.
It's not that he has to be so diligent, because according to his own calculations, he should be able to get 1 point of Shennong value for today by clearing some more weeds.
His judgment proved to be correct; he indeed gained 1 Shennong point before dinner, bringing his total Shennong points to 6.
"The stewed mutton is really delicious, it has a milky aroma."
Gu Tong ate the mutton with gusto, occasionally taking a sip of mutton soup and a bite of naan bread, as if all her fatigue had been swept away.
The camera captured the entire process of him wolfing down his food. This footage can be edited into a new video later; it's just a side effect anyway, and he's never afraid of the trouble.
After finishing his meal and tidying up, he diligently produced a video and clicked send.
He then went to wash up, but just then, there was a loud banging on the door from outside.
Gu Tong couldn't help but frown. He grabbed a wooden stick standing by the living room door and walked towards the courtyard gate.
"Stop! What do you think you're doing?"
He walked closer, opened the observation window on the iron gate, and shone his flashlight outside. He saw a short, stout man holding a wine bottle and banging on the iron gate.
Even through a door, you could smell a strong odor of alcohol.
The man outside had clearly been drinking, and quite a bit at that.
"I'm looking for Old Ma, let Old Ma out!"
The man's words were somewhat slurred, and his tongue was stiff; he was probably drunk.
"This is my home. Old Ma isn't here. You've come to the wrong place. Get out of here!"
Gu Tong didn't want to waste time talking to a drunkard, so she just kicked him out.
The guy was still yelling outside, "Old Ma, you come out here! If you don't come out, I'm going to climb over the wall and get in!"
Gu Tong's temper flared up, and she unlocked the door and yanked it open.
"Can't you understand human language, huh? You're getting cocky, aren't you? What, you want to stay in there for a few days?"
Gu Tong held a flashlight in one hand and raised a wooden stick high in the other.
He left in such a hurry that he didn't bring his phone, and now he's prepared for a conflict.
"You think I'm easily intimidated? Who the hell do you think you are?"
Seeing the door wide open, the drunkard staggered in, shouting and cursing, and smashed the bottle in his hand at Gu Tong.
Gu Tong nimbly dodged, and the guy missed his target, falling directly to the ground and remaining motionless.
This startled Gu Tong. The entrance to the courtyard had been cleared of debris, so the fall shouldn't be fatal.
"Is this guy trying to extort money from us?"
Gu Tong immediately thought of a possibility, but the problem was that he hadn't even made a move.
He cautiously approached, and soon he heard thunderous snoring; the drunkard had actually fallen asleep.
This left him both amused and exasperated. Just as he was about to go inside to get his phone and call the police, a motorcycle came speeding towards him from afar.
"Brother Gu, what's going on? I heard noises coming from far away, so I came to check it out."
The motorcycle stopped at the gate of the yard, and Dong Jun jumped off the motorcycle, asking with a serious expression.
"It's Brother Dong! I thought he was this drunkard's companion."
Upon seeing Dong Jun, Gu Tong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then recounted the whole story to him.
Upon hearing this, Dong Jun quickly went forward to check. What he saw almost made him furious.
Despite his anger, he still had to plead for the drunkard: "This is Arslan from our village. He's usually alright, but after a few drinks, he turns into this! I'll deal with him when he sobers up, please don't call the police yet, okay?"
"Fine! I'll let it go this time for Brother Dong's sake, but I won't allow it to happen again."
"Don't worry, brother, I guarantee there won't be a second time."
Gu Tong did not intend to pursue the matter further, partly out of respect for Dong Jun, and partly because he did not want to strain relations with the locals.
The matter itself wasn't serious, so he agreed to Dong Jun's request—not to call the police for the time being.
"Thank you, Brother Gu. Wait a moment, I need to make a phone call."
Dong Jun thanked him and then took out his phone to call the village chief, Ilyas.
Ilyas was also furious after hearing this. After cursing a few times, he immediately arranged for people to drag Arslan back.
After Dong Jun hung up the phone, Gu Tong asked, "Brother Dong, what are you doing nearby so late?"
