Chapter 0083 Yield of 400 kilograms per mu, the old fox
"Let's focus on the present. The beginner level of the inheritance is enough for now, so we can put our minds at ease about upgrading our cultivation level."
Gu Tong quickly made a decision and stopped dwelling on the matter.
He then sent a message to Aikbai, saying that he needed 15 tons of sheep manure and asked him to send it over as soon as possible.
Ai Kebai quickly replied, "No problem! Deliver it tomorrow morning, same price as always."
Since Gu Tong started raising sheep, he has accumulated several tons of sheep manure. With the 15 tons of sheep manure he purchased, it is enough for 50 mu of saline-alkali land.
He then entered the Shennong Pavilion and exchanged for the inheritance of the "Veterinary Basics" manual, enough "Compost Enhancer," "Root Enhancer," "Insect Repellent Enhancer," and "Disease-Removing Enhancer" for 50 acres of farmland.
It cost a total of 120 Shennong points.
Shennong Value: 867 points
......
the next day.
Gu Tong got up early in the morning and, as usual, exercised, washed up, and ate breakfast.
He then went to the sheepfold to feed the sheep and gave all 50 sheep a full physical examination. The results were very good; the sheep were all healthy.
At 10 a.m., Aikbai delivered sheep manure and unloaded it directly next to the alfalfa field.
Gu Tong transferred 1500 yuan to the other party and settled the shipping fee. Ai Kebai asked, "Brother Gu, I don't have anything to do today, can I help you with composting?"
"No need, Chen Liang will be here soon. He has a bulldozer, so the composting won't take too long."
Gu Tong smiled and waved his hand, but Ai Kebai insisted on staying, so he didn't say anything more.
A short while later, Chen Liang arrived at the field in a bulldozer, and Gu Tong started her live stream.
"Everyone, please look at this huge pile of things. Doesn't it look familiar?"
At this time, there weren't many people in the live stream.
Having just experienced the joy of a bountiful harvest yesterday, most fans thought Gu Tong would take a few days off and naturally wouldn't be going live.
But Gu Tong didn't play by the rules. Not only did she start a live stream in the morning, but she also pointed at a pile of sheep droppings and asked a question with a smile right at the beginning.
[I Don't Eat Donkey Meat]: "Damn, another 'smelly' live stream. Little Dog, you're so inconsiderate, I'm eating right now."
[Traveling with the Birds]: "It's already past ten o'clock, what meal did you have?"
【Ice Lake Snow Lotus】: "Is it time for composting again?"
......
The live stream wasn't very lively, but it wasn't deserted either.
Gu Tong laughed and then worked with Ai Kebai to assist Chen Liang.
Composting was something he was already very familiar with. He would spray the sheep manure with the "composting enhancement liquid" and mix it evenly, then divide it into several piles, compact them, and cover them with plastic film.
The temperature is much higher now than when we first composted. With the powerful boost from the [composting enhancer], it may not even take seven days, or even three to five days, to fully decompose.
Next, he needs to monitor the condition inside the compost pile every day and turn it over frequently.
"Skiggy, we just harvested the first crop of alfalfa, why don't you rest for a few days? What's the rush?"
At this moment, the Lonely Swordsman appeared and asked the question that had been on many people's minds.
"After harvesting the first crop of alfalfa, we cannot relax. We must apply fertilizer and water in time to help the damaged root system recover as soon as possible and to help the alfalfa grow new leaves quickly. Otherwise, it will affect the yield of the second crop."
Since Gu Tong had already finished her work, she decided to give her fans a science lesson.
Alfalfa is a perennial forage grass, and its field management differs significantly from that of crops such as rapeseed.
[Lonely Swordsman]: "Understood! Greyhound, how much alfalfa did you harvest this time?"
[I don't eat donkey meat]: "Confess!"
"Confess honestly..."
Everyone wanted to know the yield per acre of Gu Tong's saline-alkali land, so they all jumped out to join the fun.
Gu Tong considered it for a moment and felt there was nothing he couldn't say. Although his alfalfa yield was good, it was still within a reasonable range and wouldn't cause uncontrollable consequences.
"I've put a lot of effort into this saline-alkali land, improving the soil, strengthening the alfalfa root system, and using plant-derived pesticides to kill pests and fight diseases."
All things considered, a considerable investment was made, but the results were good; the first crop yielded approximately 400 kilograms of hay per acre.
As soon as Gu Tong finished speaking, [Ice Lake Snow Lotus] couldn't sit still anymore, "You're too amazing! In saline-alkali land like this, the first crop of alfalfa will yield no more than 300 kilograms of hay per mu."
[Lonely Swordsman]: "I knew Greyhound wouldn't let us down, awesome!"
Most fans don't understand the meaning of 400 kg of alfalfa hay per mu, but Gulixian (Ice Lake Snow Lotus) couldn't possibly not understand.
After she exclaimed in amazement, the fans started lining up, and the screen was filled with the word "awesome".
They were just having fun and enjoying themselves, but it made some people with ulterior motives restless.
Gu Tong then ended the broadcast and took Chen Liang and Ai Kebai home for lunch.
Before he could finish preparing lunch, Kurban and Ilyas walked in at the same time.
"Old village chief, Uncle Kurban, what brings you two together? I made a big plate of chicken for lunch, sit down and have some with us."
Gu Tong had prepared four dishes and a soup, and was a little puzzled to see Kurban and Ilyas arrive together.
So he casually asked a question and invited the two of them to have dinner together.
"We just happened to be here; it wasn't pre-arranged. But since we're here, let's try your cooking!"
Ilyas and Kurban took their seats in turn, and everyone began to eat.
"Xiao Gu, your first crop of alfalfa has an exceptional yield. I'm thinking, how about I entrust my 1000 mu of alfalfa fields to you for harvesting, as well as subsequent fertilization, weeding, and pesticide spraying—all on a contract basis?"
Kurban's mind wasn't on eating at all. He had watched Gu Tong's live stream before, and he was shocked by the yield of 400 kilograms of hay per mu.
It should be noted that the other party's 50 mu of land is slightly saline-alkali soil, and it would be good if the yield per mu exceeded 200 kilograms of hay.
He was not only curious about this matter, but also realized that it was also an opportunity for him.
Therefore, he didn't ask any questions and directly planned to hand over his 1000 mu alfalfa pasture to Gu Tong for management. His only requirement was that Gu Tong would provide both labor and materials, including fertilizer and pesticides.
Ilyas glanced at Kurban and couldn't help but think to himself, "He really is an old fox!"
"Well... Uncle Kurban, helping you with the harvest is definitely no problem. I'll think about the fertilization, weeding, and spraying."
Gu Tong did not agree to Kurban's request directly. It was obvious that the other party was interested in his "secret to increasing production," so he insisted on providing both labor and materials.
He had never considered this kind of thing before and was completely unprepared.
"It's okay, take your time to think it over. In any case, you won't lose out on the price."
Kurban smiled slightly and didn't urge Gu Tong, quickly finishing his meal.
Gu Tong then looked at Ilyas, who, before he could speak, said, "My idea is similar to Kurban's. I want to entrust you with the harvesting of 800 mu of alfalfa fields, including subsequent fertilization, weeding, and pesticide application. My requirement is that you handle both labor and materials."
One possibility is a coincidence, but the fact that both of them had the same idea speaks volumes.
They didn't intend to find out Gu Tong's secret to increasing production; instead, they wanted to pay him to demonstrate his skills and replicate the miracle of increased production on their own alfalfa fields.
"Okay, I'll help you harvest the alfalfa first, and then we can discuss the details of fertilization, weeding, and pesticide application."
Ilyas and Kurban had both helped Gu Tong a lot, so he couldn't refuse them when they came to him.
So when Ilias made the same request, he had no choice but to agree.
However, he hasn't decided on the specific price for the entire package (fertilization, weeding, and spraying) yet. There's no rush; he can wait until he's thought it through before making a decision.
The meal was a pleasant one, and after everyone left, Chen Liang stayed behind to help him clean up.
