First hunting trip One winter day at the end of February. Around 11 o’clock at night, my father and I eagerly drove to the northern suburbs of Calgary – Canada with the expectation of seeing a colorful moving Northern Lights. Northern Lights), aka Aurora Borealis, in a clear cloudless sky. We had never seen them in our lives, and the information about their occurrence was contained in a news report released by the weather agency, with a prediction accuracy of 35%. However, for astronomy lovers, photographers living in this country of maple leaves know that, thanks to its location in the sub-Arctic region, with less light pollution, Canada has become one of the most beautiful places in the world. The most powerful and beautiful aurora active spot in the world. In particular, towns in the Northern Territory of Canada such as Yellowknife, Whitehorse, Iqaluit, … are the places where the aurora occurs most often. Therefore, it is not surprising that most tour operators here exploit this type of aurora viewing, with an attractive offer: visitors have a 90% chance of seeing this amazing phenomenon. Moreover, during the winter, from October to April next year, when Aurora often occurs, the whole North America region in general with the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan,… and the northwestern provinces of Canada in particular. also “follow” observing this masterpiece of art from this universe. Results of the first trip to hunt the first aurora in February 2021. Photo of Tran The Dung Turning onto the dirt road through the snow-covered meadows and the quiet scattered farms in the middle of the night, from the car, we looked up at the sky. There was no sign of anything out of the ordinary except for thousands of twinkling stars floating around. Going a little further, we discovered a faint cloud to the northwest and it seemed to be iridescent, flashing light and dark. Had to turn back and find a way to run right there to see clearly. Still not seeing the cloud glow green – a common signal when the aurora appears that many “Aurora hunters” talk about, but hunch plus unusual strange points around the clouds make them I believe this is the aurora. Even though it’s minus 20 degrees Celsius outside at the moment, we decided to take the camera out to shoot with exposure techniques, as the camera gathers light longer than the human eye. The result is stunning: a pair of ribbons of blue light against a starry sky appear on the camera monitor. The first Aurora hunting trip, with our own efforts, we discovered and captured “her”, although not gorgeous and magical, but also inspired us to continue to learn and accept. many useful experiences. The secret to finding “her” Aurora activity is monitored by spacecraft, and all data on their activity levels are converted to Kp readings, which range from 0 to 9. The higher the Kp number, the more likely it is to have an aurora. the larger the optical. Aurora appeared during a hunting trip in March 2021. Photo of Tran The Dung From Kp 5 and above, scientists warn that they are geomagnetic storms, or solar wind storms, because they can cause problems for radio stations, the national power grid, etc. However, with the Astronomy enthusiasts, photographers, this intensity ignited the hope of experiencing the most intense movement of light. However, that chance is only 50%, the rest is the weather factor. Must be clear sky, clear clouds. The intensity and duration of Aurora is as strong as a weather forecaster, but the risk is that they are hidden when they appear, sometimes dim, and sometimes appear like a red-haired teenage girl. On nights when the aurora is forecast to appear, with a level of Kp 5 or higher, they can stretch for thousands of kilometers, so it is likely to see “her” almost anywhere in Alberta, as long as at midnight when it is darkest and not polluted by light from urban areas, residential areas, full moon. Dispersion of artificial light or moonlight will interfere with tracking, reduce the ability to display the colors of the aurora, even when taking pictures will give inaccurate results. If you have no experience, it is better to go to the northern countryside, find the quiet country roads, the darkness is thick. Alternatively, consult the map of Aurora hunting spots on the Alberta Aurora Hunters Association website. However, the above tips to help people easily access the “Northern lights”, but no one is sure when it will appear, because this is a phenomenon of solar wind, beyond human control. Even forecast bulletins only give an accuracy of 35-50%, not to mention at the last minute it increases or decreases in level or disappears. Aurora appeared during the fifth hunting trip in April 2021. The author uses the Time-lapse technique to take over 200 photos and then combine them into a short clip of just a few tens of seconds to see the movement and splendid colors of the aurora. Photo of Tran The Dung Pursue to the end After the first trip, we continued to pursue three more times, but only once captured the “dancing girl” in a very short time. Our perseverance and perseverance are finally rewarded. It was near midnight on the last day of April, the weather in Alberta was beginning to spring, and it was also the end of the northern aurora hunting season in Canada. On a remote road in the city of Airdrie, more than 50km from home, Do Thanh and I – a Vietnamese photographer living in Calgary – drove to find a suitable location, prepare the hunt after receiving information. tonight aurora will appear with KP level 6 and many positive signs. We seem to be late because at this hour, every corner of the Airdrie farm area is parked with aurora enthusiasts’ cars. Not to mention, the car ran back and forth, rushing to find a place like going to watch hockey. There is indeed folly in chasing after something in the sky. In the end, we found a dilapidated old warehouse in the middle of nowhere to serve as the foreground for upcoming photos. As time went by, we still sat with our eyes wide and waited, forgetting the cold of minus 6 degrees Celsius. Occasionally, I headed to the north or northwest to take pictures to check the change of the sky showing blue colors. gem. Suddenly, wow, it showed up! Magnificent aurora lights appear in the province of Alberta – Canada. Do Thanh’s photo We both exclaimed as we saw the sky begin to sparkle before erupting in the shape of a bow and changing color continuously from yellow, green, blue to purple. Then “boom”, they move violently, sometimes dancing and undulating, sometimes shooting into the sky like fireworks. Imagine if there was a symphony orchestra at this time, this place would turn into a stage filled with splendid and magical light with many levels. We were hypnotized by them, confused, fumbling with our hands and feet, and then quickly switched to Time-lapse shooting (automatically taking multiple photos with equal exposure) to catch the changes of the aurora and make videos when needed, although shooting this type of photography will reduce the life of the camera. Returning home at more than 3am, we were both hungry and quite tired but our emotions were still high. Asked if he would go again next time, photographer Do Thanh shared: “Hunting aurora is similar to fishing, in addition to helping anglers practice patience and temper, it is necessary to observe, brainstorm to find understand prey; Once you’ve caught a fish, you’ll want to catch a bigger fish next time.” According to Roman mythology, Aurora was the name of the dawn goddess who traveled from east to west to announce the arrival of the sun, but in astronomy, Aurora means aurora – a strange optical phenomenon. Animals appear in the night sky in places located near the North and South poles of the Earth. They are produced by a stream of plasma particles from the solar wind entering the earth’s atmosphere and interacting with molecules, nitrogen and oxygen atoms and stimulating these molecules to emit light (Aurora) of all colors. color: cyan, blue, pink, red and purple with clicking or squeaking sound. Usually the aurora rays are bright at an altitude of 100 km and cover the vast sky. Tran The Dung (Ho Chi Minh City Young Generation Travel Company)

“The times are changing, and consumption is constantly iterating and upgrading. The only thing that does not change is to keep your duty in this small world and do your best to serve customers who travel north and south.”

The No. 1 Food Store on Nanjing East Road is almost the most precious childhood memory for the elderly Shanghainese. As soon as I walked into the store, the aroma came out, and all kinds of food were dazzling. In an era when goods are scarce, even if you stand there, happiness will emerge spontaneously.

It is in accordance with the good memories of childhood that Yu Fei plunged into the store after graduating from high school and became an ordinary salesperson. But she never regarded herself as a “stand on the counter.” “Even in this small world, there is a big’service classic'”, she remembered the words of the party member master for 28 years.

It was here at the counter that she “Stand” became the leader of the model worker studio, “Stand” became the national model worker, and even stepped into the live broadcast room and the community volunteer service market, dedicating a half-life time-honored food brand. “Bring the goods”, to bring the most familiar taste to thousands of households. “The times are changing, and consumption is constantly iterating and upgrading. The only thing that remains unchanged is to keep your duty in this small world and do your best to serve customers who travel from north to south.”

As a party member, you should do more than others

On the first day after entering the counter, Yu Fei was responsible for selling the white rabbit toffee that others had dreamed of, but when she was really over-weighting the candies, she scratched her head: the weight was inaccurate and the kraft paper was not good.

She secretly made up her mind: We must practice the basic skills well. Since then, she often practiced grasping sugar and weighing repeatedly when there were no guests. Now, if a customer wants to buy a pound of small walnut kernels in a small package, as long as Yu Fei goes down with both hands, grabs a handful and loads it directly on the scale, the result is not bad.

For more than 20 years, although Yu Fei has continued to honor, she has always insisted on serving at the front line of the counter. Every morning, she couldn’t get up at 5:30, just to arrive at work an hour and a half earlier, sorting out the shelves and going through the “checking books” before other colleagues went to work. “As a party member, I should take more responsibility and do more than other colleagues.”

Compared to the office, she is more willing to stay at the counter, chat with customers, and carefully study the products and displays. For her, this is “the gold content of a salesperson”.

Thinking more and doing more, it also made Yu Fei “sticky” a large part of the customer group. Especially at the moment, there are many online orders, and Yu Fei has to make more than 900 copies a day when he is busy. After the purchase is completed and the customer confirms, she will also call to remind the customer: After the receipt is displayed, a message will be sent to confirm that it is correct. “After this set of procedures, the heart is settled.”

Yu Fei used to have dozens of small books, carefully recording the tastes and preferences of different old customers, and now they have turned into hundreds of mobile memos. Over the years, it even turned into a “habit” and imprinted it in my mind. “She’s not here? I’ll buy it another day.” Many customers recognized Yu Fei. The trust and adhesion built between customers and salespersons are even more precious in the current commercial society.

No matter what job innovation is incumbent on

In the lobby on the first floor of the store, the best-positioned container is reserved for its own brand. For example: “One Box of Shanghai” which focuses on souvenirs, and “Yishi Yipin” for roasted seeds and nuts. Responsible for the sales of these two counters, what Yu Fei more often does now is to introduce new products and develop new products based on sales, and also recommend and match companion gift boxes for customers traveling north and south. Compared with the past, these two tasks are more testing the ability of innovation. “Innovation is particularly important for a 67-year-old company. As a party member and a model worker, I have no shirk.”

Like all time-honored stores, in recent years, with the rise of more and more commercial complexes, coupled with the e-commerce diversion of a large number of customers, long queues have become rare. Failure to take the initiative to innovate and attack is tantamount to “handing over” the consumer market. Since 2015, the store has initiated transformation and upgrading, and created three private brands and counters. Yu Fei is responsible for the operation of two of the private brand counters. Also in the same year, a model worker studio with Yu Fei as the leader was established in the store. Everyone brainstormed and combined the needs of users to make innovations. New products such as Gan Liren and Eight Immortals Fruit came into being.

Butterfly Crisp, originally a pastry snack with the characteristics of old Shanghai, has a short shelf life, is inconvenient to carry, and is fragile, so it does not stand out in the original sales. Yu Fei actively communicated with the R&D team of his own brand, and took the initiative to cater to consumers’ taste changes. The ingredients were improved, and the taste was crispy and fragrant but sweet and not greasy. At the same time, a single small butterfly pastry is packaged with an independent seal, which is cleaner and more convenient to carry. The shelf life has also been extended from 7 days to 3 months.

As soon as the new model went on the market, it was loved by consumers. It quickly became the “sales king” of its own brand, and was even recommended by the municipal consumer protection committee as a special souvenir in Shanghai.

The “story-telling” butterfly pastry was also “coming to the OTC” not long ago, and it has spawned a “eye-catching” Shanghai cultural and creative gift. The traditional tin box, the packaging with the map of Shanghai cultural tourist attractions, the QR code to listen to the Shanghai story, and the taste is full of 256 layers of crisp. “New form and taste”, this time, the long line came back.

Dare to venture and try, to provoke a leader in the team

During the May 1st Holiday and the May 5th Shopping Festival last year, Yu Fei once again played the spirit of daring to try, and bravely challenged the live broadcast. “It takes a bit of courage to do live streaming at my age,” but in order to dedicate her entire youth to the ordinary post, she decided to go all out.

In order to make the live broadcast go smoothly, Yu Fei and her partner rehearsed dozens of times, rehearsing lines, practicing positions, and even asking her daughter and her classmates for advice. “From the past’face-to-face’ to’screen-to-screen’, I hope to bring young people’s desire to consume and’pull’ them from online to offline.” The first live broadcast of the goods, the number of likes within an hour Over 30,000, the brand list of No. 1 Foods jumped from more than 900 to 170. In the live broadcast room, Yu Fei was so nervous that the back of his clothes was wet with sweat.

Taking the initiative to attack the cloud is just Yu Fei’s first step. In fact, she has more plans to let this fragrant and time-honored brand take the initiative to integrate into people’s lives. Last year, the community sales outlets in Longhua and Changqiao areas of Xuhui were successfully deployed. Knowing that there are related voluntary service activities in Changqiao Sub-district, Yu Fei decisively used his time outside work and his professional knowledge to provide food safety advice to the elderly in the community without saying a word.

No matter how ordinary a job is, you can break into a world. Yu Fei, who is more willing to call herself “Age Sister”, has set a new goal for herself: to better spread time-honored brands with new products, new channels, and new models, so that time-honored brands can connect people’s emotions and memories with the smell of smoke Rebirth.

The most impressive thing about the transformed Yongnian Vegetable Market is that the top of each stall is stretched squarely by a piece of beige canvas with steel cables. “Meat, vegetables, fresh…” is written in black handwritten characters filled with colorful fresh fruits, The green vegetables or the red and white meat stalls above clearly distinguish the area, and at the same time make the whole space appear light and orderly. Such a sense of natural texture is ubiquitous in the Yongnian market, which is the unique temperament that the designer gives to this market. They believe that “the market should be a place where there are few people in modern cities and can directly contact nature, so it should be a kind of’urban countryside’ existence.” In fact, here, the atmosphere of “urban countryside” not only comes from fresh ingredients, but also from the strong community atmosphere. The aunts and uncles carrying the vegetable baskets are leisurely and contented, the vendors at the stalls take care of each other, and the stall owners and customers are courteous. Such a harmonious atmosphere makes Yongnian Vegetable Market, a place very close to Xintiandi, a soothing corner in the bustling city. . Wuzhong Market has a long history. As early as the 1980s, this downtown area full of plane trees and bungalows existed in the form of a street free market. After the vendors were “collected” to this two-story building on Urumqi Middle Road, the market was accompanied by memories of one or two generations. The renovation made less than two years ago transformed it into a magnificent transformation. The original old neighborhood has returned. It has also attracted more young people who are accustomed to online shopping and has become a new-style vegetable market with a very “net celebrity” temperament. The Wuzhong Market has changed the clutter of the traditional market, while retaining many classic elements of the old market —frame window lattices, terrazzo floor, and bright fruits and vegetables in rattan baskets…More importantly, here Many products have a human touch: the spring bamboo shoots of the east house are dug from the bamboo forest of Tianmu Mountain in the early morning, and the strawberries of the west house come from the fruit fields of relatives and are picked every day… For organic ingredients from the farm to the table, this seems to be just a transit station. The Breeze Market is a unique place in the Qianmen area of ​​Beijing. At first glance, this two-story building from the Republic of China period is no different from the ancient buildings with blue bricks and gray tiles in the whole block, but you will find that the white walls, wide windows and wooden grilles on the first floor of the street are quite clear. Style artistic conception. The design that extends from the inside of the market to the outside is not as heavy as an ancient building, making it easy and pleasant to stroll around. The jumping lines and open space make it more difficult to distinguish the boundaries between the stalls. There are also food and beverage stalls, cultural and creative shops and mini-libraries, which provide one-stop satisfaction for people’s material and spiritual life. On the gate of the Shahubian Market in Wuhan, it says “Bazaars are enough for Wuhan.” Entering the fresh fruit and vegetable area on the first floor, each vegetable stall is like an independent island, with vendors standing in the middle, and the floor-to-ceiling countertops are decorated with terrazzo veneers. This kind of decorative material commonly found in cafes is visually visible. Create a quaint and trendy effect. Hot dry noodles, pan-fried buns… These Wuhan flavor snacks can all be bought in the market. Many people sit on the horizontal table in front of the stall to eat, but it does not make people feel messy. It can be seen that the cleanliness of the shop here is standard and dynamic. The line designs are quite reasonable. The transformed vegetable market is truly integrated into the lives of the locals. Follow the sign of “Fill your stomach on the first floor, feed your spirit on the second floor” and walk up to the second floor, and you will fully enter the world that young people like. Everywhere is a photo spot. There is also the “Vegetable Coffee Free Bay” that has been repeatedly swiped. Once the word “vegetable market” is added to the things young people like, there will be a peculiar sense of collision, and people can’t help but want to try it. The predecessor of this vegetable market was Xi’an Velveteen Factory, which was founded in 1952. In 2001, the former velvet workshop, finished product warehouse and other factories were transformed into a comprehensive farmer’s market integrating vegetables, fruits, meat, aquatic products, and general merchandise. Some decorations were made inside the vegetable market, and the 1,000 square meter roof of the fruit market was painted with different colors. This market close to the city wall has been a must-visit for surrounding residents since it was built. Jianguo Road, Jianguo Sixth Alley, Jianguo Five Alley, and Xinyi Alley constitute its texture. Under the old city wall, sesame oil shops, twist stalls, manicure and eyelash shops and various fruit and vegetable stalls interweave the colors of human fireworks. Although the “Old Caichang Market Cultural and Creative District” has not officially opened yet, last year a series of activities such as art exhibitions, national tide photography and cosplay check-in, and cabbage conferences have been held. The former Twin Tower Market was officially upgraded to the Twin Tower Market through “Dream Renovator”. The previous vegetable market stalls are still retained, and the new snack area and cultural and creative area have injected new vitality into the market. The new Chinese style is simple and atmospheric. Each store is also decorated with retro light boxes of different colors and playful character cartoons. Maybe its fireworks are not as strong as you think, but the literary atmosphere that you can feel everywhere is also worth trying. . At the same time, there are a lot of delicious snack shops in the market. You can taste the taste of Suzhou without running around. The average per capita is 10+, red bean paste round, plum cake, and two more pan-fried buns. No two stomachs are afraid to go. Not going out. In addition, it is commendable that there is also a pet rest area at the entrance of the market. It is so happy to be able to bring my own hairy children out to buy vegetables with peace of mind. The reconstructed Redstone Farmer’s Market is small, with only 13 stalls, but although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, all the materials needed for family meals can be bought, and it is not in vain. The overall is a very simple Japanese style, and each pavilion is also very exquisitely designed, with different decorations and colors corresponding to the types of goods sold. In addition to the regular vegetable and meat stalls, there is also a “cooking coffee” that is suitable for young people to check in. After buying vegetables, sitting down and drinking a cup of coffee is in line with the life trajectory of young people nowadays. If you don’t want to go home to cook, the small noodle shop next to the coffee shop and the light food restaurant opened by the Taiwanese brother are good choices, and the price is very close to the people. It can be said that you have begun to envy the residents living nearby! What other young food markets are worth visiting?
