Changcheng,
as the child grows older,
expenses will increase.
Have you thought about
making some extra money on the side?
I've thought about it too, Mom.
But if I really had that ability,
wouldn't I have
quit this job long ago?
Changcheng, let me ask you,
are there many people
from mainland in your department?
Not just many.
Almost everyone is from there.
Hardly any locals.
You see?
People from all over come to Taiwan
and they all want a taste
of their hometown food.
Right?
Many people want chili oil.
I was thinking
if we bring in some things
not available locally
like chili powder,
Sichuan pepper powder and such,
the sales should be good, right?
And even if they don't sell right away,
they're dry goods, easy to store,
don't you think?
Mom, I've heard you're great at business.
Tell me more about it.
Look,
in such a lively market,
Changcheng,
as the child grows older,
