This city simulation game can affect reality.

The revenue figures from the past few days also show that Dragon's Backbone Ambition's business model ultimately has certain limitations.

Aside from the well-regarded food stalls, some vendors really don't make much money.

Watching his father walk away, the young man stood there, somewhat distressed, seemingly beginning to regret his decision.

Due to various factors such as family background, cognition, and education, he indeed lacked strong business acumen.

In most cases, family members can't offer any useful advice, so you have to figure things out on your own.

The real reason they came to the resort to sell tents was to take this opportunity to make a quick buck.

The father and son had actually been in a standoff for quite some time. Lin Shanhe had no experience in handling similar situations, so he could only call for help.

Seeing the young man squatting on the ground with a worried expression, Chen Jun walked over and offered him a cigarette: "Want one?"

"Thank you, but I can't." The young man instinctively waved his hand in refusal.

He looked up and suddenly realized the person in front of him looked familiar. After searching his memory for a moment, he exclaimed, "You are... Boss Chen? I've seen your picture on the resort's official website."

"Yes, it's me."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I probably won't be able to continue renting this stall," the young man said dejectedly.

"So what are you going to do with these goods?"

"I can only see if I can return it to the manufacturer. If that doesn't work, I'll list it on Xianyu (a second-hand marketplace) and sell it at a loss."

Chen Jun didn't say anything, but instead started talking to the young man about his past experiences.

After a brief exchange, the other party started talking more.

"Since graduating, I've done a lot of part-time jobs, and even apprenticed as a chef at a rural restaurant at the foot of the mountain for a while. Later, I realized I didn't have the talent, so I worked as a car mechanic for a few days..."

When young people talk about their experiences, there's nothing particularly special about them.

It's the story of an ordinary kid with no background or education struggling in society.

This world is not lacking in shrewd talents, but it is far more full of confused young people who lack a plan for their lives.

"You said you used to be a chef?"

"Yes, after working as an apprentice for half a month, my master said I had no talent and that it was the right way to change careers as soon as possible."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Jun said, "I happen to have a related job here. If you're willing, you can stay at the resort and work for me."

"I..."

"The specific job is to manage a barbecue stall, with a base salary of 4,000 yuan and a 10% commission. The working hours are from 5 pm to 1 am."

The young man began to make plans in his mind.

He studied culinary arts in college, but due to his own limited qualifications and the poor overall atmosphere of the school, he wasted almost two years of his life.

Only after entering the workforce did I realize how foolish I had been.

Unfortunately, it was too late...

Chen Jun's invitation was like a timely help for the young people.

Although this job is not much easier than working in a factory, the potential of the two is completely different.

Compared to repetitive and meaningless mechanical work, mastering a skill is much more beneficial to one's future life.

"But I..."

Thinking of the Waterloo defeats they had suffered in the past, the young man hesitated.

"Your daily work hours are fixed, so they won't disrupt your biological clock, and aside from sleeping, you'll have plenty of time for yourself."

"No... Boss Chen, I'm just afraid I'll cause you trouble."

"Fine, then you can continue struggling in a daze, just like before."

Seeing the other person's hesitant and timid demeanor, Chen Jun knew that simple words of comfort would not awaken the young man before him.

After saying that, he got up to leave.

"I'm willing... I'm willing to stay." As expected, the young man's face turned anxious, and he immediately made up his mind.

Throughout his life, he was always indecisive, and when he finally mustered the courage, he always made the wrong decisions.

But this time, he was willing to believe that he wouldn't be wrong again.

"Go to the dormitory building and find Supervisor Zhao. Ask him to prepare a room for you. Wait for me here at 4:40 PM tomorrow."

......

The following afternoon, the young man appeared near the Longgu River as agreed.

"Come with me."

Soon, Chen Jun led the other party to the location of the [Hot BBQ Stall].

On the surface, the Lv1 barbecue stall is not much different from the barbecue stalls you see on the roadside every day.

A simple barbecue grill, an ordinary charcoal grill, a cloth banner that reads "Hot BBQ Stall", and small stools and low tables placed around it.

In the small space at the bottom of the barbecue grill, two basic ingredients, pork and chives, are stored.

"Try grilling a few skewers of chives and pork first, and let me see your skills," Chen Jun said.

"OK."

The young man took a deep breath, walked to the barbecue grill, and fiddled with how to use it for a while.

After learning about his job duties, he stayed up all night to cram on the relevant knowledge.

Although barbecuing can be considered a culinary skill, it is somewhat different from cooking in the conventional sense.

Due to its grade, the charcoal grill in front of him didn't even have intelligent temperature control, so he had to operate it manually with a fan.

Chen Jun stood aside and waited quietly for a moment until smoke rose from the oven and a strong aroma of meat spread around.

"Boss, I've finished baking it, have a taste."

The young man handed the skewers to Chen Jun, staring at his face with considerable trepidation.

"It tastes good, so we'll continue using this method from now on."

A relatively fair assessment, without excessive praise, but acknowledging the young man's skill.

After giving the other party some instructions, Chen Jun left the vicinity of the barbecue stall.

In terms of taste, the other person's grilled skewers are indeed still some distance from those of the experts, but at least they have reached a level where they can do business.

Back in his office, Chen Jun turned on his laptop.

[Resident: Gao Shuyao]

[Level: Lv1 Beginner Chef]

Experience points: 13/1000

Residents gain one experience point for each skewer they grill.

Since nearly ten skewers can be grilled at a time, the experience required naturally increases significantly.

Compared to wooden handicrafts, which can only be made one item at a time, the speed of a barbecue stall is bound to be much faster.
