Chapter 161: The villagers are unrolling their scrolls, there aren't even enough corn cobs left to snap
"Holy crap! This gave me goosebumps and made my scalp tingle. This maneuver has already exceeded the value of this variety show itself."
"Damn! I finally understand Lin Yu's intention. Trade corn for eggs, then use the eggs to trade for the villagers' labor, and use the villagers' labor to trade for more corn! Lin Yu, are you playing a closed-loop game here?"
"Oh my god! This guy is a variety show genius!"
"The villagers got eggs and milk, Lin Yu and his team got corn, the production team got ratings, and Terunsu got advertising exposure. According to the law of conservation of mass, who is actually losing here?"
"Damn, I watch variety shows for fun, not to use my brain."
"After watching Lin Yu's show, I directly withdrew from my business school course. I feel like there's no need for it."
"........"
Mushroom House production team.
"Uh..."
"Director Wang, are we being a bit overconfident by competing with Lin Yu?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhengyu felt a bit uncomfortable, but he still nodded silently.
He was too smart. Everyone originally thought snapping corn was an individual challenge, but they didn't expect Lin Yu to be standing high above, overlooking the entire Yunlan Village and planning to use the collective power of the whole village to help him achieve his goal.
"Hmm? What is that sound?"
The camera panned.
It startled all the production staff, leaving them stunned.
Outside the old Mushroom House, it was bustling and crowded with villagers from the village. Some were carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, some were holding nylon woven bags, and some had even driven their tricycles over.
"What's going on?"
"Did the village have an earthquake?"
Seeing this heavy traffic and sea of people, Wang Zhengyu frowned in confusion.
"Uh... Director Wang."
"Look at this direction."
"It seems... it seems to be the villagers incited by Lin Yu to snap corn."
Assistant Director Xixi's pupils dilated, and he stammered.
Although it was overcrowded and shoulder-to-shoulder, the villagers all had honest smiles on their faces. Hahaha, thirty corn cobs can be traded for eggs and milk; isn't that basically a free gift?
If not now, when!
"What's going on?"
"Why is it so chaotic outside?"
Huang Lei and He Ling were just taking a nap when they heard the bustling noise outside.
Pushing the door open to look, they were shocked by the scene of the crowd blocking the entrance completely.
"What's going on, folks?"
Huang Lei grabbed an uncle's arm and asked.
They hadn't heard of any big market fair in the village these past two days!
"No time, don't hold me back."
The uncle wearing a headscarf didn't pay any attention to Huang Lei. Muttering to himself, he pushed Huang Lei aside and immediately followed the clamorous crowd.
At this moment, the uncle only had those thirty corn cobs in his eyes. Forget Huang Lei; even if the Jade Emperor came, it wouldn't matter. The old man was determined to get that milk and eggs today. He put it this way: even Jesus couldn't stop him.
"Teacher Huang, they seem... they seem to be helping us snap corn!"
He Ling craned his neck to look. At this sight, his heart felt like ten thousand horses galloping, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"Ah? No way."
Hearing this, Huang Lei blinked his signature fast blinks and grinned in shock.
Helping the Mushroom House snap corn???
Damn, looking out there, there must be at least a thousand people!
The live stream room also exploded.
"Hahahaha, my god! So many villagers actually came; it's truly unexpected!"
"Holy crap! Watching this makes me restless. If I could go to the scene, I'd definitely sign up to participate."
"Pfft! I'm not worried about Lin Yu anymore; instead, I'm a bit worried that these 9,000 corn cobs won't be enough for these villagers to snap."
"Hahaha, it really seems so. Watching the villagers' anxious little steps, I'm getting nervous too."
"I'm truly impressed by Lin Yu. This morning I thought it was a fantasy, but now I'm afraid of dampening the villagers' spirits. Can the production team clear out another piece of land? With this momentum, do you think your two acres of farmland are enough?!"
"No, this is too intense! If I didn't know better, I'd think Lin Yu was organizing a team-building event for the villagers! It makes my blood boil, and I'm even a bit teary-eyed. What's going on?"
"Me too, I don't know why, but I'm inexplicably moved."
"........."
At the same time,
Lin Yu, with Yixing, Peng Peng, and Sister Zifeng, had already stationed themselves in the cornfield in advance.
Methodical!
Orderly!
Clear division of labor!
Lin Yu was responsible for receiving the villagers one by one, dividing the two acres of land into five areas to avoid omissions during harvesting.
Yixing and Peng Peng were responsible for counting and verifying the amount of corn harvested.
Sister Zifeng was responsible for distributing exchange vouchers.
At a glance, if you didn't look at the location, you'd really think it was some shopping mall holding a large-scale event!
"Grandpa, walk slowly."
Lin Yu just wanted to reach out to help the old man, but was directly declined.
"Young man, this isn't a bus; you don't need to help me, I can stand just fine."
"......"
Lin Yu: "???"
Awesome! Grandpa knows how to manage his stamina!
"Young man, can I snap 60? Just give me five minutes."
Just as an auntie wanted to speak, shouts came from the side.
"I only need four minutes."
"I need three minutes."
At first, everyone thought these people were joking,
but the grandpas and aunties showed Lin Yu and the others what it meant for professionals to do professional work.
These seemingly frail old people, upon learning that corn could be traded for milk and eggs,
their backs no longer ached, and their ears were no longer deaf.
Even a few grandpas with canes or in wheelchairs leaned forward, eager to grab an exchange voucher.
"Brother Lin Yu!"
