Village chief, your township enterprise sells laser cannons?

Chapter 96 No Money!

This green vegetable, shaped like a leafy green, is not what people in Guangdong province usually refer to as a leafy green vegetable, but rather a vegetable used in the southwestern region to make unsalted pickled vegetables.

It's a really big one!

The overall color is emerald green, except for the stem, which has a slightly whitish green tinge. When you touch it with your fingers, you can clearly feel the coldness of rock.

Besides the coldness of the rocks, you can also feel the crisscrossing veins on the vegetables with your fingertips, and even the barely perceptible bumps and depressions on the vegetable stalks.

Lin Man's eyes told him that at this very moment, what appeared on his bed was a green vegetable, a vibrant green vegetable, incredibly fresh.

But the sensation from his fingertips clearly told Lin Man that the vegetables in front of him were made of stone, a single piece of green stone that was very close to glass.

Lin Man's brain was frantically checking the accounts. After a while, he raised his hand and slapped his forehead. The slap made a crisp sound when it touched his forehead.

The third decade of the 21st century, after the various constructions of the previous 20 years, has truly entered the information age.

Everyone has become a part of the information age, but the information age has also given everyone the opportunity to become a protagonist.

Given these two premises, the secrets that were unknown two thousand years ago can now be easily accessed by ordinary people in this information age.

Of course, one can only obtain some superficial secrets; the deeper secrets still exist only in those documents.

For example, jade grading is one of the methods.

Ten years ago, you could only see jade grading in various treasure appraisal novels, but now, a quick search on Douyin (TikTok) will yield a plethora of people explaining various jade identification methods, complete with real product comparisons.

The simplest grading method in the jade industry is how much a piece of jade resembles glass; the more it resembles glass, the higher its value.

For the finest imperial green, look to the Tsingtao beer bottle!

The green vegetable in my hand doesn't match the color of a Tsingtao beer bottle, or rather, the color of this green vegetable is more vibrant and less dull than that of a Tsingtao beer bottle.

It's not quite top-quality, but it's certainly a rare find.

Such a rare jadeite, coupled with exquisite carving techniques, would cost hundreds of millions, even with the high premium for jadeite.

There are only a handful of such top-quality items in the entire world.

Who is the hottest hot potato of all?

With a sigh, Lin Man put the vegetables back on the bed, and then took out the jade carvings and gold bricks he had received from the previous two settlements from the warehouse, lining them up on the bed.

Last time, after acquiring three jade carvings, he kept one for himself and tricked Zhang Renhe by giving one away.

Only a week later, the hot potato had multiplied to three.

This thing is impossible to give away; it just takes up storage space...

Forget it, I need to find an opportunity to send him off to some unlucky guy.

With a gentle wave of his right hand, the jade carvings, jadeite vegetables, and gold bricks on the bed returned to Lin Man's warehouse. He turned off the lights, lay down on the bed, and gently rubbed his head.

To prevent my warehouse from being occupied, I need to find ways to at least get green crystal ore rewards in the future.

If we always take white, the warehouse will be overflowing sooner or later!

Having made up his mind, Lin Man slowly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

In late July, the seaside fishing village is filled with all sorts of insects and frogs at night.

Amidst the croaking of frogs, Lin Yaohai stepped out of his house and walked into Lin Yaodong's house under the cover of night.

Seeing Lin Yaohai arrive in the middle of the night, Lin Yaodong wanted to curse, but he swallowed the words back.

He knew his own family well and understood Lin Yaohai's personality. If it weren't for something important, Lin Yaohai wouldn't have come over in the middle of the night.

Lin Yaodong poured Lin Yaohai a cup of cold tea and asked directly:

"You've come here because..."

"Xiaoman is planning to make you the deputy director of the village. He asked me to come over this afternoon, gave me a list, and then asked me to contact the people in the village and let them choose the people on the list." Lin Yaohai answered casually, picking up his herbal tea while observing Lin Yaodong.

Upon observing this, he noticed the surprise on Lin Yaodong's face, downed half a cup of cold tea in one gulp, and immediately asked:

"Judging from your expression, didn't Xiaoman tell you?"

Lin Yaodong shook his head, sat down to the side, and tapped his fingers on the table as he replied, "No!"

"That shouldn't be the case!" This answer surprised Lin Yaohai. As the saying goes, big matters are discussed in small meetings, and small matters are discussed in large meetings.

In Hongxing Village today, elections are a major event. Usually, a few important figures meet up, exchange a few words, and the problem is solved.

Lin Yaodong could not have been unaware that Lin Manxuan had chosen Lin Yaodong as his deputy director.

But now it seems that Lin Yaodong really was unaware of it.

Weird.

A question arose in Lin Yaohai's mind, and he was about to ask a few more questions when Lin Yaodong spoke up before he could: "Since Xiaoman chose you to carry out this task, then just do as he asks and don't ask any more questions."

These two words of advice made Lin Yaohai realize something. A look of sudden understanding flashed in his eyes, and then he slapped his forehead: "You mean, Xiaoman is testing me?"

"It's a test of all of us!" Lin Yaodong pointed at himself, then at Lin Yaohai: "If you can handle this well, you'll definitely be given an important position in the future."

"Then there are the villagers, the people you've met, who will definitely vote."

"It doesn't matter if you voted or not. You'll definitely remember those who didn't vote. Xiaoman will definitely remember them."

"So don't say too much, just make contact and remember the names."

This explanation made Lin Yaohai suddenly understand, and he immediately slapped his thigh: "I get it! I'll go first!"

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. After leaving Lin Yaodong's house, Lin Yaohai did not rush home. Instead, he turned around and went into the house of Lin Yaofu, who was also a cousin of Lin Yaodong.

Lin Yaofu was sorting through the dried seafood he had collected recently when his cousin came to visit late at night. He casually handed him a dried fish.

"Try it!"

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

Lin Yaohai took the dried fish, sniffed it lightly, then put his right hand, still holding the fish, behind his back and asked inscrutably, "You know about the village committee election, right?"

"I know, I saw the announcement when I came back from the pier tonight. Who to choose? How much money to give?" Lin Yaofu nodded, indicating that he knew about it, and then turned around and started asking the candidates and how much money to give.

Upon hearing the word "money," Lin Yaohai paused for a moment, then remembered that when Lin Man gave him the note, he hadn't mentioned money or made any other requests; he had only asked him to find someone and make arrangements.

Thinking of this, Lin Yaohai raised his right hand, using a dried fish in his hand as a fan, gently fanning himself. He first read out the names of the candidates, then lowered his voice and said:

"No money! Not a single penny!"

Upon hearing that there was no money, Lin Yaofu immediately lost interest in the conversation and turned back to continuing to prepare his dried fish: "Then why should I listen to you?"
