[00:00:16][music] [music] >> Hello everyone. I'm Young.

[00:00:30]This is episode two of me going to work with my dad.

[00:00:35]I thought there would be no business today as usual.

[00:00:39]Just now my dad got a phone call.

[00:00:42]Someone is going to open a new Mayang machine hall and ordered four Mayang machines at once.

[00:00:50]So, our originally free day suddenly became busy.

[00:00:56]Originally, this customer wasn't planning to buy from us.

[00:01:00]But later, he came across videos posted by my dad.

[00:01:05]After watching the videos, he decided to contact him.

[00:01:09]From the first inquiry to choosing the model, almost everything was discussed through a phone.

[00:01:17]Once the model was confirmed, we started to get ready right away.

[00:01:25]Four Mayang machines, it's quite a good deal for us during the off-season.

[00:01:32]We once didn't sell a single unit for a whole month.

[00:01:36]After doing this job for many years, he's gotten used to days like this.

[00:01:43]When busy, there are all kinds of things to take care of.

[00:01:47]We stay busy the whole day with no time to rest.

[00:01:51]When things are slow, we hope to get new orders every day.

[00:02:07]The remaining accessories are in another warehouse.

[00:02:17]The place where we need to install my young machines is deep in the mountains.

[00:02:24]So, we decided to have breakfast first.

[00:02:28]No one knows what might come up on the road.

[00:02:31]Sometimes it's just a simple delivery.

[00:02:35]Yet, we end up too busy to have a meal.

[00:02:45]Places like this are very common in small towns across China.

[00:02:50]The restaurant isn't fancy at all.

[00:02:53]In fact, it looks quite ordinary.

[00:02:57]But, the food has always been delicious.

[00:03:00]This restaurant is located right outside the town's middle school.

[00:03:05]Every morning, students stop by here to grab breakfast before class.

[00:03:11]When I was a student, I used to eat here quite often.

[00:04:01]>> Many breakfast shops serve free congee.

[00:04:05]It's placed aside like side dishes.

[00:04:08]Help yourself with a bowl if you want some.

[00:04:32]Now we continue to load the goods.

[00:04:36]This house belongs to our relative and they don't live here all year round.

[00:04:43]They left the key with my dad for us to store goods here.

[00:04:47]We will clear out all the goods before they come back at the end of the year.

[00:05:16]Just as we were about to leave, the customer called again.

[00:05:21]He said the shop was still short of a few chairs and asked if my dad could bring some along.

[00:05:29]For my dad, requests like this are nothing unusual.

[00:05:34]My dad used to buy chairs here for customers.

[00:05:38]Gradually, he got to know the shop owner well.

[00:05:42]Later, the owner bought water purifiers from us.

[00:05:47]We'll by the road.

[00:05:49]My dad ran into his customers on the road.

[00:06:13]>> [laughter] >> We've got the chairs, eight chairs in total for 90 RMB.

[00:06:33]Now we hit the road.

[00:06:38]>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> We've arrived at the customer's home.

[00:07:42]It started raining on the way here.

[00:07:52]The real work has just begun for my young machines, one outside and three inside.

[00:08:37]The customer originally planned to buy one online.

[00:08:41]My dad told him, "People who buy mahjong machines online have nowhere to get them repaired when they break.

[00:08:51]They finally have to turn to my dad."

[00:08:54]During the Spring Festival, business at mahjong parlors gets really busy.

[00:09:01]Many people who work in other cities come back home to celebrate the festival.

[00:09:07]Playing mahjong is the main entertainment here.

[00:09:11]So, they all go to mahjong parlors.

[00:09:14]Back then, if a mahjong machine broke down, even if dad was already in bed, he would go out to repair it once the phone rang.

[00:09:25]And just hope to relax during the festival.

[00:09:29]Mahjong parlors can earn more table fees.

[00:09:39]>> Yeah.

[00:09:57]>> [snorts] >> After each Myong machine is installed, he writes down the date with a 3-year warranty.

[00:11:22]The first one is installed.

[00:11:33]We each install one of the next three.

[00:11:36]We'll install the last one together.

[00:12:36]Many villagers have come over ready to play mahjong.

[00:12:52]>> [laughter] >> Now we're going to another customer's home to repair a mahjong machine.

[00:13:16]This customer has known my dad for many years.

[00:13:20]This mahjong machine was originally sold by my dad many years ago.

[00:13:38]>> It has been in use all these years.

[00:13:41]These past few days the last Myong tile always fails to get washed up.

[00:13:48]The problem is the internal parts are worn out.

[00:13:51]Replacing the parts will fix it.

[00:14:05]The total repair cost is 30 RMB.

[00:14:20]Now we set off again.

[00:14:23]We still have two water purifiers to repair.

[00:14:33]>> [music] [music] [music] >> When passing the peach orchard we picked two peaches to eat.

[00:15:06]It had just rained, so we wiped them and ate them [music] directly.

[00:15:11]In the countryside you can pick some fruit to quench your thirst when thirsty.

[00:15:17]No one will say anything about it.

[00:15:27]>> The customer said after yesterday's rain and thunder, the water purifier at home has no power.

[00:15:47]>> [music] [music] >> Look at the mountains in the distance.

[00:16:16]Then we set off again.

[00:16:45]We are here, but the customer hasn't come back yet.

[00:16:49]We walked around the village.

[00:16:56]It's nearby. They'll be back soon.

[00:17:23]>> The water purifier at the customer's home is leaking a little.

[00:17:53]See, it's like a genuine >> [laughter] >> My dad said don't compare him with others.

[00:18:45]Don't feel embarrassed.

[00:18:47]He'll come to repair it no matter how busy he is.

[00:18:56]We replaced the part and didn't charge any money.

[00:19:00]We don't charge for small parts.

[00:19:10]Mhm.

[00:19:12]We finished all the work at p.m.

[00:19:15]Time to go home for lunch.

[00:19:18]I'm curious.

[00:19:20]In China, many people enjoy playing mahjong.
