First of all, it is important to have many discussions and build the relationship of "trust." The seafood seller, whose premises were completely destroyed by the tsunami and moved its stronghold from Ishinomaki to Osaka, tries to rebuild the business by recruiting part-timers in the middle of child-raising.
