In episode 4 of “During the Night” (season 3) that just aired, Miss Thuy Tien and rapper RHYDER caused excitement with the image of them selling pickled onions together. RHYDER is from Thanh Hoa, experiencing the atmosphere of preparing for Tet in the South for the first time and said this was an interesting and unforgettable memory.

Pickled shallots are a familiar dish in Vietnamese cuisine. When pickled sweet and sour, shallots become an indispensable dish on the Tet tray of Southern people. Not only is it a "detoxifying" dish that helps balance the taste buds, shallots also contain many meanings in folk beliefs, symbolizing money, glory and wealth in the new year. To make a finished product of shallots that is both delicious and beautiful requires meticulousness from the maker in each step.

Having business skills, but letting two GenZ artists sit and meticulously cut and arrange each pickled onion made them "sweat profusely because of back pain, tired knees, and numb hands." This time, the two characters experienced being guided by Ms. Hue - who has 24 years of experience in pickling pickled onions.

Thuy Tien shared that Ms. Hue is “a typical Southern woman, generous and easy to approach. When she first met the two artists, she talked to them like her own children. Before that, she had been in the business since her twenties and is now in her seventies. Every Tet season, she makes more than 200kg of pickled onions to sell. Making pickled onions is both a way of earning a living and a family tradition.

What surprised fans in this episode was that RHYDER not only learned how to do business like a Southerner, but also spoke with a very cute Saigon accent. Thuy Tien said she was quite surprised by RHYDER's ability to do business. Meanwhile, the male rapper proudly shared that he inherited this ability from his mother. Standing on the side of the road selling pickled vegetables, RHYDER felt like he was back to being Quang Anh of the past.

“In the past, I also helped my mother sell goods many times, also greeted customers, and set prices a lot. Selling milk tea, selling flowers, selling bread... my mother would sell anything as long as it brought in a good income for me. I don't mind helping my mother sell goods, as long as I can earn money to help my mother. I come from a humble background, but I'm always proud of that,” the rapper shared and said that the experience of selling pickles at "Du Dem" was very interesting.

RHYDER is a GenZ artist with a positive influence, inspiring young people through his 10-year journey from the boy Quang Anh - Champion The Voice Kids 2023 successful with the stage name RHYDER in Rap Viet season 3 and Hi drunk brother.

The artist born in 2001 received attention not only for his outstanding talent but also for his serious attitude towards work, his efforts to assert himself through each product and artistic performances. In “Dual Night,” Quang Anh showed the audience a RHYDER who was not an artistic halo but extremely ordinary, simple and cute.

“During the Night” episode 4 season 3 brought the audience not only a cultural entertainment experience, but also “inspired” the career stories of RHYDER and Ms. Hue - characters who always strive, work hard and spread optimism and positivity.

Miss Thuy Tien shared: “This episode is a very new aspect of 'During the Night' during Tet. From the beginning, Thuy Tien made 'During the Night' during Tet aiming at the feelings of people far from home, exploiting diverse perspectives on the pressure of making a living of people who accept to stay in the city to make a living instead of returning home to celebrate Tet…”./.
