Chapter 0061 Buying Sheep
"Okay, it's decided then. That concludes today's live stream. I'll be editing a video about the late spring cold snap later, so stay tuned! Little Stone, come here and say goodbye to everyone."
"Woof, woof..."
Gu Tong chatted with her fans for over an hour, then the last shot was of Xiao Shitou before she ended the broadcast and went home to make lunch.
This morning was relatively quiet after such a long time, so he decided to cook something delicious to treat himself.
"Gu Tong, where are you?"
Just as he was busy in the kitchen, Liang Qin rushed over to his door.
"Coming, coming! I'm cooking, Liang Qin. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I just made some hand-pulled rice. It'll be ready soon. Let's eat together."
Gu Tong came out of the kitchen when she heard Liang Qin's shout.
He knew that the other party had been busy in several nearby villages these past few days, so he wasn't surprised that the other party had come directly to his door.
"You've got a conscience, I'm really hungry. Here, take this subsidy application form. Fill it out now so I can take it with me later."
Liang Qin could already smell the aroma of hand-grabbed rice while standing in the courtyard. In addition, she was starving, so she went into the house without any hesitation to wait for her meal.
Gu Tong took the application form, glanced at it, and then spent five minutes filling it out. She handed the form to Liang Qin and turned to go into the kitchen.
Before long, the fragrant hand-grabbed rice was freshly made.
Liang Qin ate heartily without any regard for her image, praising Gu Tong's cooking skills as she ate.
After finishing her meal, she drank a cup of tea and then left in a hurry.
"This is unbelievable, it's like a war."
Gu Tong smiled and shook his head, then cleaned up the mess and went to the field with his tools.
He needs to clear away the individual frost-damaged crop plants in the field, cut off the frost-damaged parts, and they should be able to continue growing.
He didn't go live in the afternoon; he just filmed some video footage.
Cleaning up frost-damaged crops is a very delicate task that can't be rushed. He was busy until sunset before going home.
I chatted with Xu Zejun and Zhang Chen in bed for a while that night, and then I put my phone aside.
"Go to sleep, go to sleep! Get up early tomorrow, it's time to keep my promise to the fans. Also, the sheepfold can't stay empty forever, I need to buy the lambs back as soon as possible."
Gu Tong then closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep.
the next day.
After getting up, he first sent a message to Aikbai, and then asked Tom Dongwen to order a batch of concentrated feed and hay to be delivered to his home. Then he took Xiao Shitou to the pine forest on the mountain.
From the moment he stepped out the door, he started a live stream, taking his fans to see the scenery.
"I have to park the car on the side of the road, and I'll have to hike up the mountain afterwards. Don't be fooled by the fact that the mountain road doesn't look too steep; a car definitely can't make it up. You'd be better off riding a horse."
Gu Tong parked his car by the roadside at the foot of the mountain, and then chatted with everyone as he climbed the mountain.
[Lonely Swordsman]: "Little Dog, why don't you ride a horse? Do you simply not know how?"
When it came to horseback riding, everyone suddenly realized that they had never actually seen Gu Tong ride a horse before.
This inevitably raises suspicions that the other party actually cannot ride a horse.
This is easy to understand. Gu Tong has only lived in Nasu for a short time since he moved there from the south, so it's normal that he doesn't know how to ride a horse.
"Who says I can't ride a horse? Is it possible that I don't own a horse, which is why you've never seen me ride one?"
Gu Tong joked around with everyone, but in fact he really couldn't ride a horse.
However, the Shennong Pavilion has an entry-level skill book called "Riding Skills," which he can exchange for at any time, so whether he can ride a horse or not is a non-issue for him.
The pines on the mountain rustled in the wind, and there were still remnants of snow under the tree roots and in the grass.
He had originally planned to see if there were any mushrooms on the mountain, but unfortunately, no mushrooms had grown after a cold snap.
After a long and arduous climb, Gu Tong finally reached the halfway point and took photos of the snow-capped peaks, pine forests, grasslands, and the Nas River, which resembled a jade ribbon.
The fans quietly admired the beautiful scenery, and almost no one spoke.
After coming down from the mountain, Gu Tong ended the broadcast. He plans to visit more places in the future when he has more free time, sharing even more beautiful scenery with everyone.
But he has more important things to do today.
After opening the car door, Xiao Shitou climbed directly into the back seat, while Gu Tong sat in the driver's seat and drove to Aikebai's house.
"Uncle Kurban, may I pick out some lambs?"
The sheepfold had already been built, and he had informed Kurban in advance that he planned to buy 50 lambs to raise.
Although the alfalfa in the field is not yet mature, we can purchase feed to feed them now. Once the first crop of alfalfa is harvested in late June, we can be largely self-sufficient in feed.
A small portion is concentrated feed, which must be purchased externally.
"I've been waiting for you at home. Come on, I'll take you to the sheepfold."
Kurban was still quite agile, and he pulled Gu Tong out of the yard.
When the two arrived at the sheepfold, they saw Aikebai, who had already selected a group of lambs and was waiting for Gu Tong to make the final confirmation.
"Brother Gu, how about these lambs? If you're not satisfied, you can pick any you like, and I'll herd them out for you."
Aikbai was just as enthusiastic as his father Kurban. If it weren't for Gu Tong, there wouldn't be such a good opportunity to pick out lambs so easily.
"Thanks, I'll take a look."
Gu Tong possesses the inherited "Basic Livestock Farming" skill, as well as the proficient "Identification" skill, allowing him to tell the quality of lambs at a glance.
And you know what? The lambs they selected in advance were all pretty good; they were not only healthy but also exceeded the weight limit.
"Uncle Kurban, Aikbai, I've bought all these fine lambs, so please don't feel bad about it."
"What's the big deal? We sell a lot of lambs every year anyway. But we can't offer much of a discount; we can only give you 800 yuan per lamb."
Since it's a transaction, price will naturally be involved.
The price of lambs is not fixed; it varies greatly depending on their weight and health.
Gu Tong was a savvy person; the price they offered was definitely a friendly price. So he smiled and said, "Okay! Thank you for taking care of me. If you need any help in the future, just let me know."
Kurban smiled and waved his hand, then made a phone call to summon a transport vehicle, and began loading it onto the truck.
After loading the truck, he also asked Aikebai to come along so he could help Gu Tong gather the lambs into the sheepfold.
After greeting Kurban, Gu Tong drove back home following the truck.
After the lambs were unloaded, Aikbai helped herd them into the sheepfold. Soon after, the hay and concentrated feed that Gu Tong had previously ordered were delivered.
"Brother Gu, you go ahead with your work, I'm going back now."
After finishing his work, Aiqbai said goodbye.
Gu Tong planned to drive him home, but the other party smiled and shook his head, saying that he still had to go to Dong Jun's house.
"Alright then, let's get together again later."
Gu Tong didn't force her. She escorted the other person to the outside of the courtyard and then went back to feed the sheep.
Little Stone followed behind him the whole time, occasionally helping him maintain order in the sheepfold. No wonder it's a superior breed of sheepdog; some things are just innate.
Gu Tong put hay in the feeding trough, filled the water trough with water, and then started the live stream.
This time he didn't say anything. The camera focused on the lambs eating and drinking, and the shot lasted for several minutes.
【Ice Lake Snow Lotus】: "Is this your little lamb? Congratulations!"
[I Don't Eat Donkey Meat]: "Xi Gou is truly a man of action; he quietly accomplished a great feat. Congratulations!"
......
The live stream quickly became lively, as everyone was happy to see Gu Tong open a new track.
This live stream was very short. Gu Tong mainly wanted to let everyone know that he had started raising sheep, which would be another topic for future live streams.
