Yong-Jiu Grocery Store (用九柑仔店)

We are representatives from Fortune Construction that will help you build your happy home.

I heard you're going to be the youngest manager since this company was established.

Because Junlong is Fortune Construction's ace.

Does doing this bring you happiness?

You're planning on keeping the grocery store running?

For you, opening the store will be the same as closing off the store.

I actually don't know what the future will be like either.

Anyway, right now, I just want to keep this light on.

Xiao Wu!

Xiao Wu!

Come and eat breakfast, there are poached eggs.

Did I just see a ghost?

It's me!

Temple Host, do you want to scare me to death?!

You scared me to death, too; holding such a big bat!

Don't be nervous. No one will come to the grocery store to steal things.

Go wash up, then you can eat breakfast. Hurry.

It's almost time. Open the store.

So early?

The sun's up high already. Hurry up.

My god, aren't you afraid you'll kill me,

using such a big stick?

My god!

Uncle Yong!

Did you bump into a ghost? Yelling so loud. Are you trying to scare people to death?

Don't you knock first?

All right!

If you have to pee just pee. You don't have to nag about it. I need some spare change.

I'm playing the slot machine.

Okay, close the door first.

Close what?

It's not like I haven't seen it before. You know when you were little, you'd always wear those open-crotch pants.

It was swinging out in the open on the street. Everyone in the village knows it.

Who cares? You have one, I have one. Hurry up!

Okay, I know. Close the door!

Is there any privacy here?

Why did I quit my job to come back and manage the grocery store?

Why didn't anyone stop me?

Excellent, excellent!

Junlong, the store has been opened for so long.

Are you still doing inventory?

What time is it? The way you young kids do business.

You say you can make money but I don't believe it.

Uncle Yong, don't hit it so hard; or else it'll break.

Break my ass!

I've played this slot machine for years.

Would I not know if it'll break or not?

I don't need you to tell me.

Ah Yong, good morning.

Good morning. - Junlong.

Auntie Ah Man.

Just call me Auntie.

Auntie.

Haven't seen you in a long time.

Yes, it's been a while. Did you come to buy something?

I need soy sauce. - Soy sauce, oayk. Wait a minute, I'll get it for you.

I'm looking for the kind made with black beans.

Black beans?

Black beans...

Wait, I'll look for it. - Okay.

Did you find it?

I'll tell you. Your grandpa always put it over there before.

Here? - You're all out.

I'll restock in a bit.

How about if I come back later. - Okay.

I'm sorry. - It's okay.

Oh right! Is your grandpa any better?

Yes. They hope he can wake up soon.

Yeah.

Your grandpa will wake up soon;

otherwise, if he lets you young kids run this store,

it would collapse very quickly.

Ah Yong, don't scare the young people.

Was I wrong?

Then I'll leave first. - Okay.

Take care. - Okay.

Ah Long. - Temple Host.

Did you eat the rice balls I brought you this morning?

I ate them.

Good boy.

Ah Yong, how's it going? Did you win today?

Don't ask. I take it as paying rent.

Do you remember? When you were little, you really loved to eat this shop's rice balls, with the old time flavor soy milk.

You ate it so fast. Every time you ate it, you almost choked.

Why do you remember so clearly what happened when I was little?

Who told you to have such a personality when you were little?

You liked to show your butt. You didn't like to wear pants.

I'd ask you, and you told me it was more convenient for going to the toilet.

Everybody in the whole village saw your bottom. There was no way not to see it.

Right, right, right.

We'd tell you to wear pants, but you didn't like to wear them.

You'd just sit and cry.

Oh right! Temple Host, what goods does the shop need restocking?

You're asking me? Who should I ask?

You don't know how to do that?

Get the notebook where every day's stock replenishment is written down and look at it.

Check and then you'll know.

There's a notebook?

Ah Yong, how is it? Did you win?

You came over and brought me good luck.

Really good luck. - I bring good fortune.

You did, you did.

Really good.

Really good, really good.

Temple Host! Uncle Yong!

Who's this? Yang Junlong! - Cai Liangjin!

You came back! You really came back to open the store! - It's been a long time!

Right. You're getting more and more handsome. - What are you up to now?

What am I doing? I'll show you my business card.

Idiot!

Just kidding, here.

Please take care of me.

Not bad. I used to see you make the models. Now you're done with your apprenticeship.

No, I'm just doing renovations.

Now that you're back, our golden triad is all together again.

When we were little, you, me, and Ah Zhong

used to cling to each other all day.

Have you gone to see Ah Zhong yet?

Not yet.

You sure are something.

I messaged you before that Ah Zhong was getting married.

You read but didn't reply. What was the meaning of that?

I was in the military at that time.

Bullshit. Do you think I haven't served in the military?

It's easy to ask for leave in the Air Force. You're just looking for an excuse.

I'm telling the truth.

You're just upset that Ah Fen married Ah Zhong.

I'm just kidding.

You're out of Whisbih? (T/N: popular alcoholic tonic drink)

You're out of betel nuts, too? You can't go on like this.

Your grandpa would make sure there were some for me every day.

You have to restock if you're out.

If you keep nagging, I'll beat you up.

You must not know that my second profession is a cosmetologist.

What?

I'll kick your ass. (T/N: literal, "I'll give you a good look.")

Here, I'll give you a good look. Your hair... Here,

let me see. - What are you doing?

Boss.

Hello, what do you need?

Salad oil in canisters.

Salad oil?

I remember we still have some. Wait, give me a second.

It's so heavy. Here.

What else do you need?

Another one. - Another one.

Two canisters. The last two canisters are yours.

I'll restock later.

And these. - This? I'll treat you to this. I'll calculate the rest first.

There's no need, I'll pay for it.

Okay, but I'll still need to calculate it.

The market sells it for NT$740, but it sells for NT$680 here.

Altogether it comes to NT$1,362.

Thank you.

What an embarrassment.

Thank you.

Can you... carry them?

She had such a nasty look.

She's always like that. You'll get used to it.

You know her?

That's Stink Face Venus. You forgot?

Never heard of her.

Her family runs that Mona Karoake place.

Her mom's that bitchy owner.

I have absolutely no recollection of it.

Seriously you. It's fine. Anyway,

she moved to Taipei afterward. It's normal for you to forget.

All right, well...

Stay busy. I'll go back to work, too.

Take care. Hurry up and restock your inventory.

I know. - Store my business card well.

Uncle Yong! Temple Host! I'll get going first.

I'll go restock the goods.

You stared at it for so long. Do you understand it? Let me take a look.

This is easy. Here.

This one is yours. This one is mine.

This... dried fish strips

and these snacks, I'll take care of restocking.

You'll restock the soy sauce and rice wine.

You'll go this way and I'll go this way. Two different directions.

No, I can't trouble you with this.

Not at all.

I'll close the store first.

What is wrong with you two? Are you treating me as air?

Hurry up and go restock the goods. I'll watch the store for you.

Just give me a bottle of rice wine.

Don't worry. It won't be a problem if you let your Uncle Yong look after the store.

Thank you, Uncle Yong. Sorry for troubling you. - It's fine.

Damn it.

Don't take our ball you alien!

Go away, you alien! Don't play with us!

I'm not an alien.

My mom says you don't have a father so you must be a bad child.

I have a dad!
