Rebooting the top stars, starting with Extreme Challenge

Chapter 61 The New Shanghai Bund (The End)

The production crew parked their car on the side of the road, where shops lined both sides.

Jiang Chengyu thought finding a boss would be a time-consuming process.

But I didn't expect to see it when I got off the bus and looked up.

The production crew parked their car right in front of the shop.

Then the boss didn't hide anything at all; she stood at the door waiting for Jiang Chengyu.

The rest is quite simple.

Jiang Chengyu quickly went to greet him: "Boss, hello."

"Oh no, you're too late."

"what?"

While Jiang Chengyu was still in surprise, the boss quickly explained Jiang Chengyu's work to him.

In short, this "boss" is an employee of a housekeeping service company.

Jiang Chengyu's task is to take her place in providing housekeeping services for three households.

After explaining the task clearly, the boss hurriedly led Jiang Chengyu to the first house.

There are three housekeeping services required for the first household.

The first item is that before 11:30, the user pays the money to cook a meal according to the menu.

The second step is to thoroughly clean the mahogany furniture in the living room, ensuring it is undamaged.

The third task is to help homeowners walk their dogs.

None of these three tasks were particularly challenging for Jiang Chengyu.

The only thing that might be a little difficult is cooking.

Then, glancing at the menu instantly reduces the difficulty of cooking to a minimum.

Because there are only four dishes on the menu.

The dishes are steamed fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried cabbage, and stir-fried greens.

Not a single dish requires any skill.

After taking the money from the homeowner, Jiang Chengyu went to a nearby supermarket to buy groceries.

I started making it as soon as I bought it.

There's not much to describe about the process.

If I had to say something, it would be that Jiang Chengyu showed off his culinary skills.

Especially the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Jiang Chengyu also loves this dish; he's loved it since his previous life.

So he has done some research on this dish.

Simply put, Jiang Chengyu has mastered the advanced techniques for making scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

A popular internet sensation: scrambled eggs with shredded tomatoes!

The tomato and egg stir-fry with stringy bits is not only more flavorful and tastier than the traditional tomato and egg stir-fry.

Most importantly, this dish has an exceptionally beautiful appearance.

It's so delicious that just one look at it makes your mouth water.

In short, this shredded tomato and scrambled eggs dish gave Jiang Chengyu a big moment on camera.

Even after this episode aired, Jiang Chengyu's reputation improved considerably as a result.

People online say that Jiang Chengyu is so handsome, so rich, so lucky for his girlfriend, and has great cooking skills. What's wrong with him having some minor flaws in other areas?

Let's get back to the point.

After finishing cooking, Jiang Chengyu began his second task.

There's absolutely nothing worth mentioning about this work.

It's just wiping the furniture to remove surface dust with a cloth.

And there's not much furniture yet...

The third task is walking the dog.

The homeowner's dog is a large golden retriever.

Walking a dog can be tiring or easy, depending on the method.

Anyway, Jiang Chengyu was very relaxed; he didn't even break a sweat after walking the dog.

After finishing all the work and saying goodbye to the homeowner, the boss hurriedly took him to the second house.

The second household has an easier workload, with only two tasks.

One is wiping the dust off the ceiling fan.

Another task is to clean the ice buildup in the freezer compartment.

There's nothing noteworthy about either of these tasks.

But it's worth mentioning that this family consists of an 86-year-old man living alone.

Jiang Chengyu chatted with him about his family situation for a while before getting to work.

After finishing, they didn't waste any time and hurriedly moved on to the third household.

Walking down the street, Jiang Chengyu felt a little unreal.

Is this the show "Go Fighting!"?

This job is so easy!

It's 1:30 PM now.

Aside from sweating a little from the sun, Jiang Chengyu felt nothing.

He could easily handle this level of workload even before he got the system.

As it turns out, one should not be too complacent.

Just a second ago he thought his job was easy.

When they arrived at the third house, Jiang Chengyu was completely dumbfounded.

The job duties for the third household also seemed very simple.

That's two jobs in total.

One is cleaning the kitchen.

The other task is to tidy up the living room.

In reality, Jiang Chengyu had an overwhelming amount of things to organize!

There is only one path for people to walk on in the entire house.

The rest of the space was filled with clutter.

Jiang Chengyu even suspected—no, it wasn't just suspicion.

This must be the production team deliberately making things difficult for him!

What kind of decent family piles up all this junk?!

But despite the complaints, the work still had to be done.

Jiang Chengyu spent nearly five hours here.

It was past six o'clock in the evening when we left the third house.

However, the effort did pay off.

When settling wages, the daily income was 270 yuan.

After taking the money, Jiang Chengyu got into a car to meet up with the others.

The production team sent Jiang Chengyu a task notification right on time.

The general task was to have them gather at Wujiang Road to begin their final entrepreneurial journey.

The business plan can only begin once all members of the team have arrived.

The program team has also arranged the specific entrepreneurial content.

Each team should use the money they earned today as starting capital to set up a stall at the Wujiang Road night market.

The team that earns the most money wins after a total of 90 minutes.

At first, Jiang Chengyu didn't think anything of it.

But once everyone had gathered and the mission officially began, he slowly began to realize that something was amiss.

The two teams have different entrepreneurial directions.

The Good Guys team is really good.

Huang Bo suggested going to the nearby barbecue shop or stall to buy pre-processed meat skewers.

After buying them, they roasted them and earned a processing fee.

Jiang Chengyu thought the idea was alright.

Since it's not a real startup, we can't consider it from a very realistic perspective.

For example, a normal meat skewer sells for two yuan.

Huang Bo would resell the food, grill it a couple of times, and then sell it for five or ten yuan...

Jiang Chengyu, who had been helping out, felt that their profits were already substantial.

But when he glanced at the other side, he realized he was still young.

Here are a few simple examples.

Huang Lei and his friends bought several packs of butterfly cookies at a 24-hour convenience store.

The retail price isn't too expensive.

On average, each butterfly pastry costs about nine cents.

Then Huang Lei and the others unpacked the butterfly cookies and arranged them on a plate.

They sell for three yuan each, or two for five yuan each.

That's not even an exaggeration.

They took an empty plate, mixed a few skewers of oden with a packet of pickled vegetables, and stirred it together.

Then, claiming it's a special dish made by Chef Huang, it sells for sixty-six...

The most outrageous one is the little pig.

He bought a cotton candy for ten yuan from somewhere and then resold it for one hundred.

Leaving aside the butterfly pastry, Jiang Chengyu seriously suspected that the profits from the other two were almost criminal.

But he didn't say anything.

the reason is simple.

He himself was not clean either.

Previously, Huang Bo's sales practices were relatively down-to-earth.

But when he saw the profits next to him, he panicked.

They started doing dirty things too.

Let me give two more examples from their own team.

Huang Bo cuts a chicken sausage that retails for 1.5 yuan into cubes and sells it.

Fifteen portions of one sausage were sold, each costing two yuan.

Then Zhang Yixing brought over two plates of barbecue from the barbecue restaurant next door.

Selling feeding services.

Feeding them one piece of meat at a time costs ten yuan...

It must be said that Zhang Yixing is incredibly popular; his feeding service is in high demand.

At this pace, ninety minutes pass in the blink of an eye.

Soon, it was time for the final settlement.

It's time for both teams to test their limits!
