A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 456

After that, many more people followed the news and came to see the dinosaur fossils.

A whole bunch of foreign experts and professors came.

This has seriously disrupted the lives of Yun Jiao and her family.

Frustrated beyond measure, she went to see the village chief, then to the military headquarters to see Uncle Lin, and finally to discuss something with Uncle Wang Jianlin.

Afterwards, they spent some time retrieving a lot of fossilized skeletons from the seabed.

Some were even dug out from inside the rock face.

She brought all these fossilized remains to the village.

The day it was brought up, everyone in the village was in an uproar.

People stopped going out to sea to work and instead came to the beach to look at these bones.

"These must be the bones you were talking about on Jiaojiao Island."

"Oh my goodness, this is huge! What kind of animal bone is this big?"

"I heard those experts say it was something about prehistoric dinosaurs, something that was very, very far removed from us now. There are no such creatures in the sea anymore, they're all extinct, so they want to use these bones to study something."

"It's extinct, that's good. Otherwise, living by the sea and having to go out to fish would be too dangerous."

"This bone is longer than two of me."

"Good heavens, these teeth are way too big!"

Everyone gathered around the pile of bones, discussing it animatedly.

"Why did Jiaojiao bring these bones up here?"

Yun Jiao finally managed to throw all the bones that had been transported ashore.

She emerged from the water, and Yun Linhai quickly handed his daughter a towel.

She skillfully wrapped her hair up.

"Grandpa Village Chief, there are still bones left. Why don't you take some people and assemble these?"

The village chief nodded repeatedly, his smile almost as wide as a chrysanthemum.

"Alright, alright, Jiaojiao, you've worked so hard. Go back and rest and have a meal. I'll take care of things here."

After Yun Jiao left, everyone surrounded the village chief.

"Village chief, what's going on?"

"Is there something else to announce?"

The village chief cleared his throat: "Everyone, please be quiet."

With the help of the village chief's son and the village party secretary, everyone quieted down.

The village chief then took out a loudspeaker and began to speak.

"As you can see, many outsiders, including some foreigners, have come to our village because they want to see these bones."

The villagers nodded in agreement. Indeed, their village had made something of itself; even in such a remote place, foreigners frequently appeared.

I doubt many people in big cities have ever seen a foreigner.

The village chief continued, "Jiaojiao talked to me and some government officials about setting up a dinosaur fossil exhibition in our village, turning it into a 'dinosaur village.' We'll get these bones sorted out, and then we'll set up a ticket booth in the village. Anyone who wants to come and see the dinosaur fossils will be charged a few cents..."

The villagers stared in astonishment.

No, you can charge money for this?
You can make money like this?!

"Will anyone come here? Pay money just to see a bunch of bones?"

"Why isn't anyone coming? Aren't all the outsiders who've been coming to our village lately here for these kinds of things?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't our village be able to make money just by sitting around?"

Isn't this a windfall?

The village chief continued, "To prevent those with bad intentions and limited knowledge from selling these bones for money, our village will need to form a patrol team to watch over these bones. The salary will be three hundred yuan a month."

Upon hearing this, some of the young people in the village were immediately eager to try.

Just seeing that these bones can earn three hundred yuan a month, they all want to do it!

The village chief added some more questions, which were solutions to a series of potential problems that had been discussed that day.

Finally, he waved his hand, telling the young and middle-aged women in the village to take the bones back with them.

The task of bone restoration was naturally left to Elder Mu and Yun Chenbei.

Bailong Village has become bustling and lively again.

Yun Xiaoqi recommended the martial arts masters who had taught her to the village chief, so that they could train the patrolling youths.

Of course, they would pay the martial arts instructors separately.

Since they could earn extra money, none of them objected.

The Yun family is kind and honest, and they get along very well with the Yun family.

The village chief was overjoyed.

Yun Jiao's family is truly a great benefactor to their village!
The commotion in Bailong Village attracted the attention of people from surrounding villages.

"What big event is happening in your village again?"

That sounds rather sarcastic.

The old village chief was secretly pleased.

"It's nothing. Yun Jiao from our village found some bones in the sea and brought them back to assemble them for others to see. People who want to see these bones will have to pay our village a fee, like an entrance fee. Yes, that's it."

"What?!!!"

The people from other villages, especially the village chiefs, were shocked and incredulous.

"What kind of bones are these that people come specifically to see, and they have to pay to see them? You guys are so greedy!"

The old village chief, with his hands behind his back, puffed on his pipe: "You wouldn't know this, would you?"

“There are indeed people who travel from far away just for these bones, and quite a few foreigners have come.”

The village chief looked inscrutable: "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. That thing is no ordinary thing. Come on, this old man will take you to see it today."

So the old village chief led several village heads and officials to the area designated for storing dinosaur fossils. Currently, one fossil skeleton is half-assembled.

They could see the hideous, enormous bone from afar.

Those who saw this for the first time were all startled.

"What...what are those things?!"

"A monster! That's a monster!"

The old village chief was immediately satisfied when he saw their stunned and horrified expressions.

You should know that when these bones were gradually pieced together, the people in their village were quite startled.

It was scary enough when it was just a pile of bones.

Now that it's three-dimensional, isn't it even more frightening?

Everyone couldn't help but feel relieved that these prehistoric creatures were extinct, otherwise how would they have survived?

"You've all seen it, haven't you? Do you think anyone wants to come and see this?"

Hearing his words, everyone else snapped out of their daze.

After a moment of stunned silence, they all became excited.

One of the village chiefs grabbed the old village chief's hand.

"Brother, we're quite close, aren't we? Your daughter even married a young man from our village, so we're related by marriage. Why are you keeping this good stuff to yourself? Our villages aren't far apart, and seeing your village thriving, our village really wants to keep up. How much of a bone do you have?"

Very well, now those abacus beads have hit the old village chief in the face.

He tried to pull his hand back, but it was held too tightly.

Even other people enthusiastically squeezed in.

"Old brother, we were the best of brothers back in our youth..."

"My dear in-laws, my daughter is your daughter-in-law..."

Very well, they're all trying to curry favor with us.

village head:…………

He had a headache: "Why are you dragging me along? I didn't find these bones, and they can't just be placed anywhere. We had to go through a lot of trouble to get the qualifications from the government, otherwise our village wouldn't be able to put these things there."

But no matter what he said, none of them cared.

She pulled him over and first looked longingly at the bones.

Needless to say, many people will definitely want to come and see it.

Doesn't that mean that people in Bailong Village can just sit at home and collect money?

Oh dear, why didn't this good thing happen to their village!

Suddenly, the sharp-eyed village chief from the neighboring village spotted Yun Jiao.

"Little Yun Jiao, Jiao Jiao..."

A grown man managed to speak in such a low voice that it gave me goosebumps.

Yun Jiao was also completely bewildered.

"Grandpa Sun?"

She actually knew this person.

But this is too much enthusiasm! It's so enthusiastic that it makes her feel a little uneasy.

"Hey, Jiaojiao, why don't you come visit our village..."

Yun Jiao finally understood; they wanted dinosaur fossils.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Grandpa Sun, you can't just take this dinosaur fossil anywhere you want. We had to apply to the higher authorities for it."

Village Chief Sun looked immediately disappointed.

Yun Xiaoqi: "Why are you so fixated on bringing this to the village? You can do something else."

Village Chief Sun looked at Yun Xiaoqi: "What else can we do?"

Yun Xiaoqi stroked her chin: "If I remember correctly, Grandpa Sun, your village has a lot of coconut trees, and they're really big, right?"

Village Chief Sun nodded.

Yun Xiaoqi snapped her fingers: "Then make the most of your village's advantages. You have a lot of coconut trees, so you can cooperate with a soda factory to develop a coconut water product, or even research it into food. When we have more people here, we can bring the coconut water here to sell."

Village Chief Sun: "But how can we study coconuts? Can coconuts be made into soft drinks?"

Soft drinks are now one of the most popular beverages.

Yun Xiaoqi said, "You can try it. You can make it into soda, or add milk or something. Maybe some people will like it if it's just coconut water on its own. We live by the sea and are used to drinking it, so we don't really care about it. But people who don't live by the sea might find it novel and like it."

Village Chief Sun's eyes lit up more and more as he listened to him.

"Oh my, you young people are so clever! How come I didn't think of that? I'll go back and find someone to try it out!"

If it really works out, their village might be able to make a living from this.

"Wait, Village Chief Sun, if you really figure it out, you must sign a contract so that the soda factory can buy your village's coconuts first. Otherwise, if other villages take the peaches, you'll have nowhere to cry."

Village Chief Sun immediately replied, "Yes, yes, yes."

The way he looked at Yun Xiaoqi was different now.

"You're Xiao Qi, right? You've got potential, young man!"

Yun Xiaoqi chuckled twice and accepted the compliment.

The other village chiefs immediately gathered around as well.

Yun Xiaoqi then offered suggestions based on the situation in everyone's village.

If their village really develops a dinosaur fossil tourist attraction, the surrounding villages will also benefit.

The most obvious thing is that if this project can be developed, the government will allocate funds to build roads, and the surrounding villages will probably be included in the road construction scope.
