Chapter 281: Short Play Script “《 Great Grandma At Eighteen” 》 With Ten Thousand Times Profit!
Saw the purple Food and Culinary Skills mentioned in the first piece of intelligence.
Jiang Tao thought of the Roast Whole Lamb recipe he had previously bought from Zhuang Xiaofei in his hometown, Ping County.
After being parsed and optimized by the system, that recipe had also reached the system level.
But…
He had been busy with various things recently, and this skill had been “put away” by him, not yet showcased.
He planned to add the Roast Whole Lamb, a substantial dish, to the menu after the Jiang’s Delicious Claypot Restaurant opened.
To make Roast Whole Lamb a signature specialty dish of the restaurant.
Originally, he felt that having only one dish might be too monotonous.
Now, with purple Food and Culinary Skills, his culinary skills could be improved by several levels.
If he had time, he could also try to fully utilize his system-level culinary skills and develop a few more specialty dishes for the restaurant.
After reading the first piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao’s mind stirred, and he continued to refresh for the next one.
【 Today’s Intelligence 02】:
You had contact with Gu Lina yesterday, and obtained related intelligence—
Gu Lina’s novel, purple Eighteen-Year-Old Great-Grandmother, currently serialized on Certain Point Girls’ Network, has huge potential for adaptation into a short play!
Purchasing the copyright for adaptation can yield ten thousand times the profit!
……
“Who is Gu Lina?”
“Eighteen-Year-Old Great-Grandmother short play?”
“Ten thousand times profit!”
Upon seeing the second piece of intelligence for today, Jiang Tao was somewhat puzzled yet also surprised.
He tried hard to recall everyone he had met that day.
Suddenly, he remembered the big fan who had taken a photo with Jiang An’an at KFC and asked for her autograph.
“Yes, I remember that girl introduced herself as something-Na.”
For Jiang Tao, Gu Lina was originally just a passerby in his life; he hadn’t made any special effort to remember her name.
“So she’s a female author.”
“But how can I contact her?”
“Right, her book title is Eighteen-Year-Old Great-Grandmother. It sounds interesting. I’ll search for her book first.”
Jiang Tao was also an old reader of Certain Point Chinese Network. His leisure activity after work every day was reading.
Compared to Zhang Chao going for a massage and foot wash, Liu Zhiyuan and Shan Yufei drinking and playing cards, and Wang Lianming playing games.
Reading novels was a relatively inexpensive and highly satisfying form of entertainment.
Jiang Tao’s wealth had grown rapidly during this period, and his days were fulfilling, leaving him with less time to spend reading novels.
The last time he read a novel was before the Spring Festival.
Opening the reading app on his mobile phone, Jiang Tao clicked into the girls’ section and typed “Eighteen-Year-Old Great-Grandmother” into the search bar.
Seeing that the book had only a little over 600,000 characters and was already completed, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but sigh.
600,000 characters is too short for the male channel; it should be at least over a million characters!
Moreover, the collection for this book was less than 1000.
Jiang Tao didn’t know how this book performed in the female section, but in the male section, it was definitely a complete flop.
Clicking on the book’s detail page, the author’s name was “Nana Won’t Fail.”
“Nana… it must be that Gu Lina.”
Jiang Tao clicked into the main text of the book and skimmed through three chapters, getting a general understanding of the book’s situation.
After reading the golden opening three chapters, Jiang Tao had a certain understanding of the story.
At the beginning of the story, a woman from the 1970s or 80s was crushed to death by a chandelier while trying to save her son.
Then, she opened her eyes to find herself transformed into an eighteen-year-old girl, attending the same class as her grandson.
Jiang Tao did not read the subsequent plot.
He usually read books very quickly, swallowing them whole, primarily for the enjoyment.
The delicate writing style of the female section was indeed not very friendly to him as a man.
“Since the system judges that this book has huge market potential and can yield ten thousand times the profit, there must be a basis for it.”
“The data for this book doesn’t look great, so the copyright shouldn’t be very expensive, which is a good thing for me.”
“Tomorrow during the day, I’ll try to contact the website’s Copyright Department and inquire about the copyright sale of this drama.”
Jiang Tao’s finger tapped to close the reading app interface and he continued to look at the third and final piece of intelligence for today.
【 Today’s Intelligence 03】:
You had contact with Xu Li yesterday, and obtained related intelligence—
Xu Li is the destined female lead for purple Eighteen-Year-Old Great-Grandmother, and she has always had an actor’s dream.
Destined actor + destined script can maximize the revenue!
……
“Destined female lead? Actor’s dream?”
After reading the last piece of intelligence, Jiang Tao looked down at Xu Li, who was sleeping soundly with a beautiful face in his arms, with a hint of surprise.
He had been married to Xu Li for so many years, yet he truly didn’t know she had an actor’s dream?
And also…
When Jiang Tao used the 【 Bole 】 skill to examine Xu Li, he found that she didn’t have any talent in acting.
But at this moment, the system said she was the destined female lead for the drama purple Eighteen-Year-Old Great-Grandmother.
“Could it be because my silly wife is beautiful, has a good figure, and her appearance fits the character?”
Jiang Tao didn’t know how the system determined that Xu Li, with no acting experience, was the destined female lead for this drama.
But he knew that the intelligence provided by the intelligence system was absolutely true and reliable; there was no need to doubt it.
“Then let me fulfill your dream!”
Jiang Tao leaned down and kissed Xu Li’s full and fair forehead, looking at her with eyes full of tenderness.
With a thought, he closed the system interface and lay down on his pillow to sleep.
The next morning.
When Jiang Tao woke up, his mother and Xu Li had already prepared breakfast.
Jiang Xue had stayed overnight at Jiang An’an’s place last night, and Jiang Yi said she would take her to the school bus.
“Mom, Dad, Lili, this is a supplement I asked someone to proxy buy. Each of you will take one pill every day from now on.”
During breakfast, Jiang Tao took out a gift-boxed Divine Wuzi Yanzong Pills and placed it on the dining table.
“What is this?”
“Wuzi Yanzong Pills?”
When everyone saw what Jiang Tao took out, their expressions were somewhat surprised.
Recently, the family’s intake of meat, eggs, and milk had been sufficient, and they were all in good health, without any illnesses or disasters.
Although the family’s conditions had improved, they didn’t have the habit of taking health supplements.
“This is different from ordinary health supplements; the effects are truly top-notch. You’ll know once you try it.”
Jiang Tao didn’t explain much; this wasn’t the first time he had shared good things with his family.
“Really? Then we’ll listen to you.”
“Can women also take this?”
Xu Li curiously opened the box, took out a Wuzi Yanzong Pill, and smelled it under her nose.
“Hmm, it smells good. Very pleasant.”
“Yes, not only does it smell good, but the effects are also great. This afternoon I’ll have someone send more back so your parents and Shasha can also take one every day.”
“This thing might not extend your life and longevity, but it can definitely condition your body.”
Jiang Tao said matter-of-factly while eating Millet Pumpkin Porridge.
Although he also had to spend money to buy these Divine Wuzi Yanzong Pills from the system mall, he was willing to spend money for his and Xu Li’s families.
“Mmm-hmm, thank you, husband~”
Hearing that Jiang Tao was thinking of her parents and sister, Xu Li’s heart filled with sweetness.
Afterward, the three of them each took one pill.
Soon, they all experienced the potent effects of the Divine Wuzi Yanzong Pills and were astonished.
“Husband, this medicine works so fast! I feel warm all over, so comfortable.”
Xu Li felt the change in her body less than a minute after taking the Divine Wuzi Yanzong Pill and looked at Jiang Tao with surprise.
“Son, such a miraculous medicine must not be cheap, right?”
“Wow, the medicine’s effect is so fast!”
Jiang Wen and Tian Xiaomei, the old couple, were also shocked by how quickly the medicine took effect.
“Mom, don’t worry about the cost. Nothing is more important than your and Dad’s health. Take one pill every day from now on, just eat it.”
Jiang Tao smiled and vaguely replied to his mother. He really didn’t lack the money to buy Wuzi Yanzong Pills now.
“Okay, okay, Mom won’t pry anymore. Mom won’t ask.”
Tian Xiaomei looked at her second son with a smile, feeling more and more delighted the more she looked at him.
The old couple was now living a good life with their second son.
They were driven around every day, had no worries about food or drink, lived in a big house, received a high salary, and their future was bright.
Last year, Tian Xiaomei and Jiang Wen, the old couple, still worked in landscaping every day, doing hard labor.
Working hard all day only brought in a little over a hundred yuan.
Now, they could finish their work by drinking tea in the office every day.
Jiang Tao also gave the old couple thirty to forty thousand yuan in salary every month.
The old couple’s monthly salary was almost equivalent to their previous year’s earnings!
This income was higher than that of many young people who had graduated with a master’s degree.
Sometimes, Tian Xiaomei felt like she was dreaming.
The life she was living now was something she wouldn’t have dared to imagine even in her dreams!
After finishing breakfast together, Jiang Wen and Tian Xiaomei went to work at Jiang’s Food Factory.
Xu Li still did housework at home as usual, plus exercised.
Recently, at Jiang Tao’s persistent suggestion.
Xu Li also started running on the 【 Body-Strengthening Treadmill 】.
Actually, she didn’t particularly like running and was initially resistant and perfunctory.
But after a few runs and feeling the sense of physical and mental pleasure.
She gradually came to enjoy the sport of running.
Every morning after doing housework, she would run for an hour of aerobic exercise on the 【 Body-Strengthening Treadmill 】.
Although that feeling of full-body comfort didn’t occur every time, it would happen about once a week.
In fact, that feeling was the sensation of “Physique +1”.
Since she started running on the 【 Body-Strengthening Treadmill 】.
Without realizing it, Xu Li’s physique had increased significantly.
She could also last longer in card games with Jiang Tao.
……
After going downstairs, Jiang Tao walked directly to the bottom of Building 52.
He entered the hallway, took the elevator to the 20th floor, and arrived at the door of 2001.
This apartment had a registered area of 126 square meters, a spacious three-bedroom unit with north-south transparency.
It would be spacious enough for Jiang Hai’s family to live in.
Ding dong~
Jiang Tao stopped at the door and rang the doorbell.
Soon, he heard the sound of footsteps from inside and a clear greeting.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
Click.
The room door opened.
Seeing Jiang Yi, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, appear at the door, Jiang Tao’s eyes immediately lit up.
Her black hair cascaded naturally down her back.
She wore a form-fitting pure black t-shirt on her upper body, accentuating her figure even more alluringly.
The skin exposed on her arms and neck appeared even fairer and more translucent against the black.
Her lower body was adorned with a seemingly simple but curve-hugging blue pair of jeans that emphasized her waist and hip curves.
It was clearly a very simple, common, and homey outfit.
But worn by Jiang Yi, it gave off a striking impression.
Combined with Jiang Yi’s small but exquisitely delicate facial features.
Even Jiang Tao, who was accustomed to the beauty of Xu Li every day.
Was momentarily amazed upon seeing Jiang Yi.
“Jiang Tao, you’re here. Please come in.”
Seeing Jiang Tao at the door, Jiang Yi’s face also broke into a sweeter smile than usual.
As the time they spent together grew, Jiang Yi’s feelings towards her former student became increasingly complex.
Especially recently, Jiang Tao’s help to Jiang Yi, her brother Jiang Hai, and Jiang An’an.
Had made Jiang Yi develop a different kind of feeling for him in her heart.
“Teacher Jiang, long time no see.”
Jiang Tao also greeted Jiang Yi with a smile and playfully said:
“What? Aren’t you going to invite me in to sit for a while?”
“Ah, no, no, please, please, come in quickly.”
Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Jiang Yi realized she was blocking the doorway.
Awkwardly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she stepped aside to let him in.
“Uncle Jiang, you’re here~”
As soon as Jiang Tao entered, Jiang An’an also came running out of her room to greet him.
“An’an, do you like your new home?”
Jiang Tao smiled at Jiang An’an, speaking to her as if she were his own daughter.
Jiang Tao truly adored Jiang An’an, such an sensible, lively, and cute child.
“Mmm-hmm! I like it! I super like it! An’an finally has her own room!”
“Thank you, Uncle Jiang, for giving this place to me, my dad, and my aunt to live in.”
Jiang An’an looked at Jiang Tao with her beautiful, gem-like eyes, gratitude shining within them.
Although she was young, she understood the principle of knowing how to repay kindness.
Jiang Tao smiled and said, “An’an, you’re so good and sensible. Consider this your home from now on.”
“Manager Jiang, you’re here.”
Jiang Hai also stepped forward and greeted Jiang Tao respectfully.
Jiang Tao nodded and said, “Yes, I came to see if there’s anything you’re not used to. Feel free to tell me.”
“No, no, we’re very used to it. It’s much better and more convenient than where we used to live.”
Jiang Hai wasn’t being polite to Jiang Tao; he was speaking the plain truth.
This place was indeed much better than the small farmhouse they had rented in the Dongxindian Urban Village.
24-hour hot water, a clean and bright kitchen, and a large balcony overlooking the distant park.
This was simply the dream home for Jiang Hai and Jiang An’an.
“It’s good that you’re used to it.”
Jiang Tao nodded and looked at Jiang Yi, saying:
“I’ll trouble Teacher Jiang with An’an’s school transfer. Just send me the payment code later for how much it costs.”
“I’ll pay for it first and get reimbursed by the Finance Department later.”
“Okay, I’ve already spoken with Principal Han and we’ve scheduled a meeting for 10 AM this morning.”
Jiang Yi nodded, her gaze towards Jiang Tao becoming even more tender.
