Peel green mangosteen
These days, mangosteen chicken salad is "super hot", sought after by consumers everywhere. This dish must be made from peeled green mangosteen. Therefore, peeling green mangosteen suddenly becomes a money-making job.
Many establishments are looking for mangosteen peelers on social media. (Screenshot)
"Recruiters" compete to recruit people through social media channels. They are willing to pay from 300,000 to 600,000 VND per day for the job of peeling green mangosteens. This job does not require technical skills, workers can take the goods home to peel, deliver and receive wages on the same day.
Peeled green mangosteens cost between 500,000 and 700,000 VND/kg, 8-9 times higher than unpeeled mangosteens, which cost only around 50,000 - 80,000 VND/kg. In Ho Chi Minh City, some establishments said they peel 100-150 kg of green mangosteens every day, but it is still not enough to meet customer orders.
Jackfruit scrub
Around the beginning of last year, COVID-19 made it difficult to export agricultural products from Vietnam to China through the border gate, as it took many days to clear customs. During this waiting time, many drivers had to unload their goods to clean the fruits (mostly jackfruit) thoroughly, to ensure the quality when the goods were exported to the border.
The jackfruit cleaning job used to help people near the border gate earn more than half a million a day.
This job immediately attracted workers in this area, helping them earn millions every day.
Ms. Nguyen Thu, a fruit cleaner, said: "Although this job is irregular and the work is not regular, the income is relatively good." Each group of about 8 workers will take about 1 hour to clean a container of more than 50 tons of jackfruit. Each person will be paid about 100,000 VND. These people happily said that on a "good day", they can clean about 6-7 trucks/day. Calculating the daily wage, it is about 600,000 - 700,000 VND/day."
Carrying people and motorbikes through flooded roads
At the end of May 2022, when heavy rains often caused Hanoi to be "submerged" in water, many people took advantage of the opportunity to open a "hot" service of transporting people and motorbikes by three-wheeled vehicles through deeply flooded areas.

They worked in pairs, one person in front pulling the cart, one person next to it holding the cart, holding the person and pushing the tricycle as fast as possible. In just 10 minutes, these groups had transported about a dozen passengers through the flooded area and received "hot" wages. The cost of transporting a person was 10,000 VND, and the cost of transporting both the cart and the person was 30,000 VND.
license plate number
Also at the same time, when passing through the flooded road, many cars no longer had license plates or bumpers. License plates of vehicles are usually attached to the front bumper with only screws (no nuts at the back). Therefore, when encountering water resistance, they can easily come loose and fall off.
License plate redemption services often appear in flooded areas in Hanoi after heavy rains. The act of collecting lost license plates and receiving a "ransom" of about 300,000 VND per plate has repeatedly created mixed reactions in public opinion. Some agree that if they were accidentally picked up, they would give them back, but this is because many people have to go to great lengths to find them in the rain, wind, and cold. However, the majority objected because they thought that taking advantage of other people's difficult situations to make money is not a good idea.
Queue for rental inspection
In March, the overload at the inspection centers caused many people to waste time waiting in line. Many people who could not arrange the time had to pay up to 500,000 VND/day to hire someone to wait in line for inspection. When the car was near the line, the people waiting in line would notify the owner to come and inspect the car. In addition, they also accepted to do the entire inspection for the car owner at a higher cost to make a profit.
