The opening episode is the first dinner at the common house after a hard day's work. The warm atmosphere quickly becomes a highlight when each personality gradually appears through very real-life activities. Ma Ran Do brings laughter with a series of clumsy situations, while Vinh Thich An Ngon shows his ingenuity and responsibility through a family-style meal. Small details such as "asking for more ingredients" from neighbors also show the true spirit of making a living: flexible, economical and proactive.
The moment that made the cast and audience calm down came from the story of making incense sticks. The work seemed light but required meticulousness, patience and a lot of time. The woman from the Mekong Delta attached to the profession shared that each box of 600 incense sticks requires 3-4 people to work hard all day, the wage is only 80,000 VND but it is the main source of income for the family. With about 2.4 million VND per month, she takes care of her elderly parents and children in school age. Her proficiency and dedication to making a living make artists understand and appreciate the silent labor values.
The program pace continued to be accelerated when guest Le Nam "awaked up" the whole family from 4:30 am to continue looking for work. A group followed Huy Khanh to coconut processing facilities, trying his hand at many different stages. Although "grinding" continuously, sometimes the result was only converted to tens of thousands of dong, even considered a rare "cash fee" for artists. However, luck smiled when Huy Khanh was unexpectedly generously "given lucky money" by the facility owner, creating a moment of both joy and warmth.
At the same time, Ma Ran Do and Dai Nghia had the opportunity to experience at the jelly making facility of content creator Huyen Phi, listening to the story of starting a business from local agricultural products. The thoughtfulness of the people of the Mekong Delta, especially the preparation of a separate vegetarian meal for Dai Nghia, further highlighted the spirit of hospitality and affection.
