The new semester started on time in September. After a month of hard work, Qin Xiaobao asked for leave for the Nth time.
Fortunately, he studied directing, and his current results can overshadow other people's opinions. There is no need to write a paper to prove his ability. Otherwise, it would be quite difficult, and people's opinions are terrible!
Even so, Qin Xiaobao and Lao Hu were very low-key when they set off. Each had an assistant and no makeup artist, and they followed the show's screenwriter on the plane.
"What, start shooting as soon as you get off the plane?"
After hearing the news, Qin Xiaobao was very surprised.
"Aren't you going to give me some time to adapt?" Hu Ge was equally surprised.
The screenwriter has been in constant contact with the two of them recently, and they have become familiar with each other. Their relationship has improved a lot, and they can talk more casually.
"No, it's what the director asked for. There's nothing I can do about it." The screenwriter smiled and said, "When you get off the plane later, a special car will take you to the village. From the moment you enter the supermarket, our journey will officially begin."
"It's being recorded immediately, but you still won't be given any information?" Lao Hu didn't give up.
"Forget it," Qin Xiaobao sighed when the screenwriter didn't say anything. "Just take it one step at a time. They don't worry about it. Let's not worry so much."
A group of people set off from the Magic City and flew to Zhejiang, heading to a small village called Hu Village.
The population is more than 3,000, which is similar to many rural areas in China. Young people go out to work and make money. Those who stay in the village are old people, women and children. The real permanent residents are estimated to be only about 1,000 people.
In the past, when there were many people, there were four or five similar small supermarkets. Later, they all closed down because they could not make any money.
Only Grandma Wu is left, the family that the two will take over.
The program team has no plans, at least not yet, for them to meet Grandma Wu, because Qin Xiaobao asked if he wanted to buy some gifts to bring to grandma. The program team said that the old man had already set off, and did not say clearly, but it can be guessed that he will meet them in the last episode.
meet.
I don’t know what the supermarket is like, but I did my homework.
He was quite familiar with the grocery store in front of the community. A few nights before departure, he went there for half an hour every day to learn how to scan the QR code at the checkout and other business skills.
After landing on the plane, getting on the bus, and transferring to another bus, after a lot of trouble, at 3:30 in the afternoon, the group arrived at their destination, Hu Village, where they were about to start their twelve days of life and work.
As soon as we got off the bus, the photographer who was already on standby immediately took his place. With just two people and six machines, there was no blind spot.
The vehicle did not take the two of them directly to the entrance of the supermarket, but stopped at the stone bridge at the entrance of the village.
A cement road follows the stone bridge into the town. The stream flows slowly by. Just looking at it gives people a slight chill. There are colorful wild flowers growing on the shore, and butterflies and dragonflies are flying in the air.
There were vegetable patches on both sides of the road, and several villagers were working in the fields with hoes. Those who came closer noticed this group of strangers, and after taking a curious look, they continued their work.
Walking along the only main road in the village, apartment-style buildings, two-story brick houses, and some wooden houses with a sense of age coexist.
After walking for five minutes, we arrived at the square in the center of the village.
Several large banyan trees stand staggered together, creating a large shade. A few old people are sitting under them, playing chess or chatting. Children of four or five years old are playing around. A big yellow dog sees a stranger.
The man stood up and started barking, which attracted other dogs in the village who didn't know the truth to follow suit, and it instantly became lively.
The old people raised their heads, and Hu Ge greeted them: "Grandpas are playing chess!"
"Oh...what are you doing? Making a TV show?" An old man with a bald head and a long white beard responded.
"Ah, yes, we are filming TV." Hu Ge laughed along with him: "Grandpa, do you know where Xiufang Supermarket is?"
I said it twice, but the old man didn't understand it. He was probably a little deaf. Another grandfather in black couldn't bear it and stretched out his right hand: "Go forward and turn left at the intersection."
"Thank you, grandpa."
Seeing that the old man and old lady were not very interested, no one bothered them too much. We have a long time to come.
The village is really not big. I followed the old man's direction and walked another hundred meters until I saw the big sign of Xiufang Supermarket.
The rectangular storefront is estimated to be six or seven meters long. The outside is entirely made of glass, and there are some product posters posted on it. It's hard to see what's going on inside under the sunlight.
"Is this right here?" The two of them stood at the door.
"Suddenly I didn't want to go in." At the end of the day, Hu Ge wanted to retreat.
Qin Xiaobao didn't say anything and pushed him in directly.
As you can imagine, the entire supermarket is about thirty square meters. There are three rows of shelves on the left hand side, with snacks, daily necessities, instant noodles and other products divided into categories. They are neatly arranged.
On the right hand side are two freezers, a dining table, and simple kitchen utensils.
The place against the wall in the middle should be the cashier's desk. The table was also full of items such as chewing gum, chocolate, and lollipops. There was a piece of glass on top, and there were many small notes underneath. Qin Xiaobao looked down and saw that they were all...
Contact information for purchasing goods.
There was a curtain behind the cashier. I opened it and looked at it. Oh, cigarettes.
Over there, Hu Ge was also shopping in the supermarket, touching and looking at it, feeling familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time.
There are many small supermarkets like this in Shanghai, but they are called convenience stores. The decoration will be much better, but they are definitely not as spacious as here.
There are also differences in what is sold.
In addition to the delicious Pepsi and Qingyang shampoo that can be seen in the city, there are scattered dried fish, bags of vinegar, old-fashioned kettles, etc.
There are cameras everywhere.
After looking around, the two new owners of the supermarket sat at the dining table.
"What are we going to do now?" Qin Xiaobao looked at the photographer without responding.
"Why don't you think about what to eat first?" Hu Ge touched his belly. It was almost four o'clock: "I brought some ingredients here."
"Okay," Qin Xiaobao turned around. There was a complete kitchen behind him, with all the pots and pans ready-made: "Eat whatever you want, I guess you don't have to work overtime today."
As soon as the door opened, the two of them were startled. They thought it was a guest, but it turned out to be the director.
"How do you feel?" Luo Jiarong sat down.
"It's expected," Qin Xiaobao thought of a word: "It's a little bigger than expected. What on earth are we going to do."
"During Grandma Wu's holiday, it is your task to take good care of the supermarket."
"Speak carefully."
"The answer is very simple. I just sell things on a daily basis. I am responsible for replenishing whatever goods are out. There are some five-guarantee households in the village who need door-to-door delivery and taking care of the guests who come over. That's all."
"Okay." Qin Xiaobao gave up. He said it but didn't say: "Where should we live?"
Director Luo pointed behind the cashier: "There are three rooms there, which have been packed up. They are not big, but there is no problem in helping others."
"One room per person?"
"You're overthinking it. Don't guests need to stay?"
"Let them figure it out."
"Hahaha, let's find a guest house, right?"
The three of them were chatting happily. The door opened again, and a middle-aged man in his forties walked in. He was suddenly startled.
Hu Ge quickly stood up: "Sorry, we won't open until tomorrow."
"Isn't Aunt Wu here?" The middle-aged man was very surprised to see a group of strangers, but regardless of what Hu Ge said, he went straight to the condiment area and took a bottle of soy sauce: "I will buy this."
"Sell it." Qin Xiaobao said.
"Damn it!" Hu Ge went to the checkout counter and looked around: "There is no code scanning gun."
(It’s the last day, so vote quickly and don’t waste it!)
