"This jar is not light." The warehouse manager thought Lin Cheng was inexperienced and reminded him.
As soon as the man finished speaking, Lin Cheng picked up two gas cans and walked out the door without changing his expression.
After four trips back and forth, Lin Cheng firmly fixed the eight gas tanks on the rear compartment of the electric tricycle.
The webmaster who came over saw this and exchanged glances with the administrator, all of them showing surprise - they had heard that the person who came here to record the program was a singer, and they thought he would be someone who couldn't carry anything, but they didn't expect that he still had the strength.
At this time, Wang Xi in front of the computer also had a look of surprise on his face.
"Brother Chen Yu, Brother Cheng wasn't a sports student before, right?" He was the type who 'dresses to look thin'.
"How is that possible?" Chen Yu glanced at Wang Xi.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yu said, "I seem to have heard someone say before that Lin Cheng graduated with a degree in finance."
"Finance?!" Wang Xi and Zhou Qi widened their eyes.
"Why did Brother Cheng go to study finance?"
"That's right, Brother Cheng debuted quite early, I thought Brother Cheng graduated from the music major."
"Or performance, art or something like that." Zhou Qi agreed.
"How would I know if you ask me?" Chen Yu shrugged and muttered.
He was also confused about Lin Cheng's choice of major.
Several people's attention returned to the live broadcast screen again.
At this time, Lin Cheng had already boarded the gas-powered tricycle and set off.
Seeing Lin Cheng walking west, several comments suddenly popped up on the barrage:
Is he going in the wrong direction
I also noticed that the first user on the order is in Huajiang City Garden, which should be heading east.
Even if you are a celebrity, you should have basic common sense.
That’s right. If you don’t know the way, don’t you just check the navigation or ask passers-by
…
Just when the audience in the live broadcast room raised questions and thought that Lin Cheng's "job" was about to end, they saw Lin Cheng driving the tricycle into a small alley.
Sky Blue Community? Is this on the task list
No, I'm sure.
I see! This is not a scheduled task on the task list. This should be a real-time task that was grabbed temporarily! Someone discovered the truth.
In addition to the reservation form received from the distribution station, the program team also provided Lin Cheng with a special app on his work phone, on which he could receive timely orders.
I see.
But Lin Cheng hasn’t even delivered the guaranteed 30 reservations yet, but he has already started accepting immediate orders. Isn’t that a bad idea
Yes, by then we might not even be able to complete the guaranteed mission.
Amid the doubts, someone soon came up with a different idea: Could it be that he didn't intend to complete the guaranteed task? The addresses on the appointment list were all over the city, and running one by one would take an unknown amount of time. If he couldn't complete the 30 tasks and wasted time on the road, it would be better to just deliver one order and get paid for it.
That makes sense.
If this is true, it would be a smart move.
…
Just as the audience was guessing Lin Cheng's purpose.
Here, Lin Cheng had already delivered the first temporary order and was rushing towards the second one.
Then the third, fourth, fifth...
Gradually, someone summed up Lin Cheng's gas delivery rules - first, Lin Cheng did not deliver gas in the order on the task list, but divided the appointment list according to area and time. Each time, he only took the farthest household on the road as the destination. During the process, Lin Cheng would take timely orders within 200 meters and on the way.
In this way, Lin Cheng's gas delivery efficiency has indeed increased a lot. In one hour, although Lin Cheng only completed 3 reservations, he has delivered 8 orders of liquefied gas.
"Brother Cheng is so smart!"
Wang Xi in front of the computer exclaimed.
Zhou Qi also nodded in agreement.
Chen Yu stared at the screen in the live broadcast room and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: When Lin Cheng drew this profession before, he was still worried for her in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be okay.
"But if Brother Cheng is so successful, won't he become less of a topic of conversation?" Zhou Qi said worriedly.
One day after the live broadcast went online, Bai Yulin, the most popular performer, attracted a large number of new fans in the live broadcast room because of his dancing.
Actor Gao Yuankai also showed off his skills in repairing small appliances, arranging flowers, and cooking on the first day of recording the show.
Although the naughty kid in the domineering boss's family attracted a lot of criticism because of his naughtiness, at least he became a hot topic.
Even the shift dad Duan Bei became a hot topic because of a mistake at work that caused pearls to be boiled into "guilinggao".
Only the group of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo performed too normally, so normally that there was no highlight or hype at all.
"Not necessarily." Chen Yu stared at the number of people in the live broadcast room and murmured.
Although Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's performances were mediocre, the number of people in the live broadcast room was surprisingly stable, and has gradually increased to more than 20,000.
Chen Yu glanced at Lin Cheng, who had just delivered a batch of liquefied gas and was returning to the station to pick up the next batch of gas cylinders. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: Why didn't I see this person so attentive when I was rushing to announce the announcement...
If Lin Cheng had made a little more progress over the years, he wouldn't be so confused.
—
The day passed quickly.
When Lin Cheng finished his work for the day and returned to the community where they were temporarily living, it was already evening.
As soon as he entered the residential area, Lin Cheng saw from afar Lin Momo squatting with her chin in her hand beside the flower bed next to the apartment building, playing with her fingers, looking bored.
"What are you squatting here for?" Lin Cheng asked as he approached.
When Lin Momo heard Lin Cheng's voice, her eyes lit up.
"Well, nothing. I was just bored and came out for a walk." Lin Momo subconsciously looked away and answered in a low voice, then smiled guiltily.
The truth was that when she came out to throw away the garbage, the door was kindly closed by the old lady living next door, so she was locked outside.
Lin Momo felt a little embarrassed, so she didn't want to tell Lin Cheng the truth.
The girl's guilty look did not escape Lin Cheng's eyes. It took him only half a second to guess why Lin Momo was squatting down there.
Lin Cheng took out the key from his pocket and handed it to Lin Momo.
"Don't lose it."
When Lin Momo saw the key in her hand, her eyes lit up.
"Okay!" Lin Momo said loudly, jumping and following Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng still didn't know what Lin Momo was planning, so he couldn't understand the child's sudden happiness.
Thinking of something, Lin Momo took out three candies from her pocket and handed them to Lin Cheng: "Daddy, have some candy."
Lin Cheng took the candy from Lin Momo's hand and took a look at it—Wangzai Milk Candy? Yu Fu Ji? Oo candy
"Don't ask for things from strangers." Lin Cheng reminded.
"Not a stranger." Lin Momo retorted subconsciously.
She and Old Lady Zhang are already considered "business partners".
"This one is the most delicious, you try it." Lin Momo pointed at the Wangzai milk candy in Lin Cheng's hand and said like she was presenting a treasure.
Lin Cheng: "..." How to reject a child's kindness? Waiting online, quite urgent.
"Eat first."
"good."
The two returned to their temporary home, and this time, it was Lin Momo who opened the door.
The moment he opened the door, Lin Cheng's eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the room was obviously much cleaner.
"Did you clean the house?" Lin Cheng asked.
"Yeah." Lin Momo nodded.
Just when the audience in the live broadcast room thought that Lin Cheng would praise Lin Momo like the other groups of fathers did to their children, they heard Lin Cheng just say: "You don't have to clean."
"But if it's too dirty, you won't be able to get used to living here." Lin Momo said.
"It's just a few days, no big problem." Lin Cheng said.
"I'm not used to it either." Lin Momo whispered again.
Lin Cheng: “…” Would a child who was ‘playing’ with empty bottles next to a trash can yesterday become uncomfortable living in a dirty house
However, Lin Cheng did notice that Lin Momo would wash her hands very clean after cleaning up or messing with the pile of bottles.
"Let's eat." Lin Cheng put the dinner he bought on the temporary dining table and called Lin Momo.
This is a set meal for two, with vegetables and meat.
After taking the chopsticks, Lin Momo stared at the food in front of her without moving, with a look of pain on her face.
"What's wrong? Don't you like these dishes?"
"No," Lin Momo shook her head and asked Lin Cheng carefully, "Are these over budget?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng's mouth twitched.
Lin Cheng: "Not expensive, 30 per serving."
Lin Momo: “30?!”
Looking at Lin Momo's expression which looked like "It's over, our family is bankrupt", Lin Cheng suddenly found it funny again.
Lin Cheng handed the money to Lin Momo: "Take it."
"This is… "
"The money I earned today." Lin Cheng said calmly.
"Are all of these?!" Lin Momo held the money, her face full of surprise.
She counted the money and found there were 183 yuan!
Lin Momo didn't know that an hour ago, when Lin Cheng received the 183 yuan from the stationmaster, the live broadcast room was full of comments like "Awesome", "Great", and "I'm impressed"...
At this moment, looking at Lin Cheng, Lin Momo's eyes were full of disbelief.
Originally, she didn't expect this 'father' to make any money.
Facing the girl's admiring eyes, Lin Cheng did not show it on his face, but a sense of inexplicable accomplishment flashed through his heart.
But what does the look of surprise and suspicion from the kid behind me mean
"Eat in peace."
"good!"
…
Ever since she knew that Lin Cheng could make money, Lin Momo's attitude towards him has obviously improved several levels.
Not only was there an extra bowl of soy milk for breakfast, but two more tea leaves from Old Lady Zhang downstairs were also added to the boiled water prepared for Lin Cheng.
—
After watching Lin Cheng leave, Lin Momo also took action - she pulled the professional equipment sponsored by Old Lady Zhang, a small cart with wheels, and left the residential area carrying a cart full of cardboard boxes and beverage bottles.
It's probably just for the show effect.
I think so too. After all, compared to the other groups, the group of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo really has no highlights.
I just checked and there is no scrap yard nearby. How can I sell it
This is not something we should consider. I guess the program team has already arranged it.
Maybe when the camera switches in a while, Lin Momo will have already arrived at the scrap yard.
It's also possible that a 'kind passing car' would come and take Lin Momo there.
…
Watching the discussion among the audience in the live broadcast room, the people from the program crew were complaining: Lin Cheng's group didn't even have a complete script, so where did the designed scrap buying segment come from
They are not responsible for this!
They also don’t have the budget to arrange a vehicle to take Lin Momo to the scrap yard!
—
Here, Lin Momo had already dragged a cart of waste onto the main road. The cameraman from the director's crew followed Lin Momo from a distance, without attracting the attention of passers-by.
The small figure was dragging a large cart of waste walking on the road in broad daylight, making him particularly conspicuous.
Lin Momo was already used to the surprised looks from passers-by, so she didn't care.
Lin Momo arrived in front of the station and stared at the station sign for a long time.
The nearest large recycling station is on Fengtan Road. There is no direct bus from here, but Mrs. Zhang told her the route to get there in the morning.
At this time, the "Rui Xin Street" on the license plate of bus No. 37 is a place that Lin Momo will pass by, 5 stops away from here.
Lin Momo stopped in front of the platform.
A few minutes later, bus No. 37 arrived at the station.
Just when many viewers in the live broadcast room thought that Lin Momo would get on the No. 37 bus arranged by the program team, they saw that Lin Momo did not move and was still standing at the bus stop.
"Do you want to get on the bus?" The bus driver shouted to Lin Momo at the bus stop through the front door.
Lin Momo shook her head.
The bus door closed, Lin Momo kept staring at the bus as it drove away, and then took note of the direction the bus went.
Lin Momo started walking along the roadside in the direction of the bus.
When she arrived at the next station, Lin Momo looked at the sign again to make sure she was not going the wrong way.
If she encountered a fork in the road and didn't know which way to go, Lin Momo would wait there and watch for another No. 37 bus to pass by.
After going back and forth like this for an hour and a half, Lin Momo finally arrived at her first destination: Ruixin Street.
On the bus stop sign, Lin Momo quickly found her destination, 'Fengtan Road', on another bus stop sign.
Lin Momo used the same method as before and started walking towards Fengtan Road following the direction of bus No. 101.
Although this method is stupid and slow, it is effective and can ensure that she will not go wrong.
—
In the live broadcast room, it was rare to see the screen filled with barrages of comments.
Oh my god! Lin Momo is actually walking all the time!
Do we really have to go to the scrap yard?!
During this period of time, most of the viewers did not leave the live broadcast room, so they watched Lin Momo walk for nearly three hours.
They are not blind and are very sure that there is no falsification, black screen or editing in the process.
It's unbelievable that such a young child walked for three hours.
The program crew is really going too far. Even for the sake of the show’s effects, they shouldn’t let a child go so far.
Why does it feel like the other groups are living the lives of celebrities, while the Lin Cheng family is just living the lives of mortals
I even suspect that Lin Cheng's group has offended the program crew, otherwise why would they be so miserable, living in the worst house, doing the hardest work, and having their babies to work with them.
…
Lin Momo didn’t know about the discussion in the live broadcast room.
At this time, towing the trailer behind her, Lin Momo was memorizing the route while thinking in her mind that after the filming was over and she got the 20,000 yuan, her family would also buy a trailer like this.
Another hour passed, and Lin Momo finally found the sign of Fengtan Lane not far from the bus station on Fengtan Road.
It was noon and there were not many people around the alley.
In front of a small pond, five or six old men and women were "washing" the cardboard boxes in their hands.
Seeing them, Lin Momo knew she had found the right place.
The other people noticed Lin Momo and saw the waste on the trailer behind her, and their eyes lit up.
"Kid, do you still want those things? Don't give them to me, I'll help you throw them away." One of them said to Lin Momo.
Seeing Lin Momo shaking her head, the man quickly said, "I won't take advantage of you. I'll give you 5 yuan. Give me your things."
Hearing this, Lin Momo shook her head firmly again, pulled her things and ran into the alley without looking back, muttering, "I'm not stupid."
When she reached the end of the road, Lin Momo saw the scrap yard that Old Lady Zhang had mentioned.
Seeing the boss sitting at the door, Lin Momo towed the trailer in front of him.
When the boss saw the little kid dragging a cart full of waste to buy, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Are you here to sell scrap?" asked the boss.
Lin Momo nodded.
Seeing this, the boss pointed to the scale next to him and said to Lin Momo, "Take your things down and put them there so I can weigh them for you."
Lin Momo didn't move, but asked the boss: "What's the price here?"
The boss rolled his eyes and casually quoted the price: "One dollar for paperboard, and one dollar and fifty cents for bottles and cans."
Hearing this, Lin Momo frowned: "Your price is too low, I won't sell it to you."
After saying that, Lin Momo looked like she was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." The boss stopped Lin Momo and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? You'll have to sell all this stuff if you drag it somewhere else. Why don't you just sell it here? I can negotiate the price."
"Tell me, how much do you want to sell it for?" the boss asked Lin Momo again.
"Cardboard is 1.2 yuan per pound, cans are 2 yuan per pound, transparent bottles are 1.8 yuan per pound, and colored bottles are 1.5 yuan per pound." Lin Momo quoted the price.
Hearing this, the boss showed some surprise on his face.
—Originally, he thought that this kid was probably helping his family sell scraps and didn't know anything. Unexpectedly, he was actually an "expert" and the price he quoted was basically the highest price in this business.
