Chapter 0072 Taking on a Disciple, Old Crow Garlic
"Let me see, wow, it has a larger payload capacity than my drone!"
Gu Tong climbed into the back of the truck and saw the T60 agricultural drone. "Aikebai, if you're free in the afternoons, you can come over and I'll teach you how to operate this thing."
"Okay, okay! I'm mainly worried about bothering you, you're so busy all day long."
Ike was eager to accept the offer, but at the same time, he was afraid of taking up other people's time.
"No, if I'm not available one day, I'll let you know in advance. Come in, and I'll explain the basics to you first."
Gu Tong felt that Aikebai had a good aptitude and should be able to learn drone control technology very quickly.
His teaching level is naturally much higher than Lin Hao's. He emphasizes a step-by-step approach, so he starts with basic theory and doesn't let the other person directly start hands-on practice.
Gu Tong used Aikebai's drone as a teaching template, starting with its structure and continuing to the various functions of the remote control panel.
"That's all for today. Remember to review the instruction manual. Next time, we'll talk about pre-flight equipment, terrain mapping, and flight path planning."
As darkness fell, Gu Tong felt a little hungry and ended the lesson.
Ai Kebai listened attentively from beginning to end and even took notes.
"Brother Gu, I'm leaving now. See you tomorrow."
Aikebai left satisfied, and Gu Tong quickly prepared dinner.
the next day.
Gu Tong got up in the morning and went to the fields for a walk before continuing to graze the livestock.
Today he went further, after all, the public pasture is very large, and he can't always stay in one place.
Now that Little Stone has grown quite a bit, it's no problem to entrust it with the main responsibility of looking after the sheep.
During the break, Gu Tong took the fans to explore the surrounding area, and before they knew it, they had walked out of the edge of the public ranch.
On a high slope, he suddenly stopped and then pointed the camera at a plant on the ground.
"Everyone, take a close look. Do you recognize what this is?"
[Lonely Swordsman]: "Isn't this just weeds? What's so special about it?"
[Traveling with the Birds]: "I think it looks a bit like foxtail grass."
【Small Town Exam Taker 123】: "Don't talk nonsense, this is crow garlic. My father said that they used to eat this stuff when they were kids."
......
Most fans didn't recognize Lao Gua Suan, but a few did.
"That's right, this is crow garlic."
Gu Tong smiled and gave the correct answer.
He now possesses not only the proficient skill of [Identification], but also a thorough understanding of [Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica - Basic Chapter]. He can now identify most plants, including herbs, at a glance with extremely high accuracy.
【Small Town Exam Taker 123】: "Little Dog, hurry up and try it. They say crow garlic is fragrant and sweet. I wonder if it's true."
Many fans then joined in the commotion, insisting that Gu Tong eat garlic.
"You're just trying to get me into trouble! Wild garlic, also known as crow garlic, is a Class II protected plant in China. Eating this stuff will only bring you bad luck. You can learn something new and then get out of here and stay away from it."
Gu Tong couldn't help but laugh, and then gave everyone a science lesson.
Wild tulips are not the wild grass that could be dug up at will decades ago. Now, anyone who dares to illegally collect them will be severely punished.
The live stream was filled with curses and insults. They knew they had been tricked by the dog, but they had certainly learned something new.
Gu Tong then returned to the ranch, where he saw Little Stone still diligently performing his duties.
He then stopped the live stream and drove the sheep home with Xiao Shitou.
Time flies.
Gu Tong's daily life became very regular: he went out to herd livestock, inspect farmland, teach Aikbai how to operate drones, and occasionally visit the homes of Dong Jun, Ma Dongwen, Ilyas, and Professor Mao.
During this time, Professor Mao invited the four of them to his home for a meal, which brought the two sides closer together.
"Aikbai, you've passed your aerial flight training. Starting tomorrow, you'll begin practicing aerial spraying operations, including solid particle spraying and liquid pesticide spraying. You'll be ready to graduate in about a week."
Ai Kebai's learning time took longer than Gu Tong had expected, but he made great progress and could basically control it on his own.
Tomorrow, Gu Tong will be fertilizing his 80 mu of land, which will be a good opportunity to teach while doing his homework.
Topdressing also involves the use of chemical fertilizers. He believes that it is wrong to refuse to use pesticides and chemical fertilizers simply in pursuit of natural and environmentally friendly practices, as such extreme measures will inevitably affect crop yields.
He has now mastered five basic inheritances and is able to view these issues from a higher perspective.
"Aww, finally I can get some real combat experience! Thanks, Brother Gu, I'll come over first thing tomorrow morning."
Ai Kebai jumped for joy, as happy as a child.
Gu Tong couldn't help but smile. This boy was simple-minded. It was thanks to his father and brother that he could be carefree all day long.
After Aikbai left, he was too lazy to cook dinner, so he texted Dong Jun: "Brother Dong, what's your wife making for dinner?"
"She said she'd make soup and rice. Come and eat, I'll ask her to make a lot."
Dong Jun quickly replied to the message, realizing that the other party wanted to "mooch a meal," and directly asked Li Yuxiu to cook for one more person.
Gu Tong replied with a smiley face, and then drove to Salbu Village.
During the meal, Dong Jun said that Lin Hao had already finished applying the top dressing and would prepare to irrigate the plant thoroughly in a few days.
Currently, the recovery of rapeseed crops after the disaster is progressing well, and the yield will not be significantly affected.
"My own fields need fertilization too, Brother Gu, I'll have to trouble you for help."
Dong Jun's own farmland also needed topdressing, so he asked Gu Tong for help.
Our relationship is special now, so there's no need to be too polite.
"Okay, I'll ask Lao Ma again, and I'll cover everything then."
Without further ado, Gu Tong immediately patted his chest and sent a message in the group, asking Ma Dongwen if he needed help spreading fertilizer.
He was using drones for the operation, which was quick and effective. Ma Dongwen immediately sent a series of thank-you emojis and said, "Of course we need them, please, please!"
Ma Dongwen was initially a little embarrassed to trouble Gu Tong, but since she brought it up herself, he wouldn't be coy.
"Then it's settled!"
After finalizing the matter, Gu Tong returned home after dinner.
Over the next two days, he and Ai Kebai carried out drone spraying operations on their own farmland, Dong Jun's farmland, and Ma Dongwen's farmland in turn.
Aikebai suddenly had a breakthrough in the last couple of days, and after practicing a few times, he was able to operate it on his own.
There may be some flaws from a technical point of view, but the other party is indeed a qualified pilot.
[Effective operation (aerial spraying), Shennong points +8]
Shennong Value: 292 points
......
After two days of hard work, Gu Tong only gained 8 Shennong points, which was the harvest from fertilizing his own 80 mu of land.
Unlike the initial mutual aid group, the current four-person group has clearly defined relevant rules, so when he helps other members with their homework, the system judges him as "helpful" without any reward.
Gu Tong didn't care. It was the same during the previous frost disaster, so he was mentally prepared.
Ma Dongwen and Dong Jun naturally wouldn't sit idly by. One of them helped Gu Tong herd the livestock, and the other helped Aikebai's family with odd jobs. They didn't miss anything these past two days.
"Alright, now we need to hurry up and water them. Brother Dong, Lao Ma, I'm leaving the entire managed land to you two."
Urea is used as top dressing, and watering must be done as early as possible.
On the one hand, it is necessary to avoid fertilizer volatilization, and on the other hand, it is necessary to dilute the fertilizer to avoid burning the roots.
After making arrangements, Gu Tong packed her things and prepared to go home.
