evening.

Jiang's mother prepared boiled chicken, stir-fried pork with hot peppers, bamboo shoots, cold-boiled pig ears, cold-boiled cucumbers, fried peanuts, stir-fried water spinach and other dishes, and filled the table with them.

In the family of four, Jiang's father and eldest brother drank white wine, while Jiang's mother and Jiang Feng drank beer.

As the head of the family, Father Jiang naturally had to say a few words before the drinking began. He said, "To be honest, when Xiao Feng came back from graduation and said she wanted to be a matchmaker, I didn't agree with it at the time.

After all, although there is no threshold to enter the matchmaking industry, it is not easy to make a living in this industry.

Especially for young people like Xiao Feng who are not married yet, there is basically no market for them in the matchmaking industry.”

Jiang Feng listened to his old father's speech with a smile. He knew his own situation. If he had not suddenly acquired the magical ability to see the marriage matching value, then no matter how eloquent he was, he would never have been able to enter the matchmaker industry.

"Most importantly, if a matchmaker doesn't do a good job, it can easily offend people."

Father Jiang continued his opening remarks, saying, "But as the old saying goes, there are 360 ​​professions and every profession has its top talent. Although I don't think Xiaofeng is a good matchmaker, since Xiaofeng insists on giving it a try, I don't object.

What I didn't expect was that the next day someone came to ask Xiao Feng to be a matchmaker, and offered a red envelope of 800 yuan and gifts worth no less than 200 yuan.

After that, Xiao Feng arranged a blind date and house-sitting, and received another 2,000 yuan red envelope. "

Hearing this, Jiang Fei couldn't help but admire his younger brother. After all, such a generous client was rare, and his younger brother met one on his first try as a matchmaker. His luck was really extraordinary.

Father Jiang raised his glass and said, "It's only been a little over ten days, and Xiao Feng has already received the wedding invitation from the client. The speed is unbelievable. From this, we can see that Xiao Feng's matchmaking ability is really no worse than anyone else.

As the saying goes, snakes have their own ways, and mice have their own ways. Since Xiao Feng, you do have a talent for matchmaking, from now on, you should be a matchmaker for others. If you need any help from me, just tell me, and I will fully support you. "

Mother Jiang also raised her glass and said, "Xiao Feng, Mom also fully supports you!"

Jiang Fei also raised his glass and said, "Xiao Feng, big brother supports you too!"

"Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom, and thank you, big brother!" Jiang Feng raised his glass and clinked glasses with them one by one, then drank the beer in the glass.

"Xiao Feng, eat the food. These are your favorite chicken feet, these are your favorite chicken kidneys, and these are your favorite..." After drinking half a glass of beer, Jiang's mother started a scene that everyone in the Jiang family was familiar with, constantly picking up food for her youngest son.

Jiang Feng said helplessly: "Mom, you eat yours, I can pick up whatever you want to eat myself!"

Jiang Fei ignored his mother's partiality and ate a few bites of food before asking, "Xiao Feng, your first client is quite generous. Now that the wedding date has been set, how much do you think the matchmaker will pay?"

Jiang Feng picked up a chicken claw and dipped it in the prepared sauce, shaking his head and said, "I can't say for sure. When Uncle Li asked me how much matchmaking money I wanted, I told him to just give a red envelope. How much or how little depends on how much he wants!"

Jiang's mother was quite familiar with the market of matchmaking, and said: "The matchmaker's fee is determined according to the man's family situation. Generally speaking, the matchmaker's fee will not be less than 8,800 yuan. Add to that the red envelope given when you go to the door to ask for a matchmaker, and the red envelopes given when you make acquaintances, look after the house, and register, and the total amount will basically not be less than 10,000 yuan.

This is all calculated based on the lowest standard. If we use the average, a media worker can earn around 14,000 to 15,000 yuan.”

Jiang Fei's eyes widened when he heard this: "No way, is matchmaking so profitable?"

He was really surprised. Although he had heard that some matchmakers could earn 40,000 or 50,000 yuan during the Spring Festival, he subconsciously thought that this was the income that could only be earned by working with ten or eight matchmakers, and on average only a few thousand per matchmaker.

But after hearing what my mother said, I realized how difficult it is to get married nowadays. Not to mention buying a house and a car and giving the woman a dowry, the matchmaker money alone would probably scare off many people.

Father Jiang sighed, "There are more men than women in today's society, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for men to find wives. For example, in our village, there are only a few men who can marry a wife on their own. Most men rely on matchmakers to marry a wife, so the money for matchmakers is getting higher and higher."

"Doesn't this mean that if Xiao Feng becomes a matchmaker, his income will be at least equal to two or three months' salary of mine?" Jiang Fei suddenly felt that the job in the industrial park was no longer attractive. If he didn't know that he was not cut out for it, he would have wanted to be a matchmaker like his younger brother.

Jiang's mother smiled and said, "Although I'm not sure how much matchmaking money Xiao Feng will receive, based on the red envelopes the Li family gave me a few times before, it should be no problem for Xiao Feng's income from matchmaking to be equal to your three months' salary."

Father Jiang took a sip of wine and sighed again: "If Xiaofeng can make a match every month, her income will be better than most people. Unfortunately, Xiaofeng's age is always a disadvantage. I don't know how long it will take for her to meet her second client!"

Jiang Feng spit out the chicken feet bone and said with a smile: "Dad, actually I received a call when I went to town to buy vegetables. It was from a client I met when I was advertising in the car when I came back from the provincial capital. He told me clearly on the phone that he would come to visit me tomorrow and asked me to be his matchmaker."

Father Jiang was startled when he heard this, and then he said excitedly, "Good boy, you just matched a couple and a client came to you right away. It seems like you were born to be a matchmaker."

Jiang's mother also cheered and couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and take a big sip. Seeing that her youngest son was getting better and better at being a matchmaker, she, as a mother, was really happy from the bottom of her heart.

Jiang Fei gave a thumbs up and praised: "Xiao Feng, you are so amazing!"

Seeing his parents' happy faces, Jiang Feng felt very satisfied, and then he said seriously: "Dad, Mom, my brother, sister and I can all make money now. You have worked hard for so many years, it's time to enjoy life.

Dad, if you have nothing to do, go and have a drink with your friends, brag, play poker, etc. Don't take on those hard jobs. Mom, just raise some chickens and ducks and grow some vegetables, just enough for your family. As for the orchard at home, just hire someone to help take care of it."

As a genuine farmer, Jiang's father's income mainly comes from two aspects:

1. The orchard at home.

In Longshan Village, almost every household has an orchard. Since they mainly grow lychees, and these orchards are all small hills, they are also called Lychee Mountain by the people of Longshan Village.

Jiang Feng's family's Litchi Mountain has an average annual income of over 10,000 yuan, which can be said to be very good.

Second, take on work outside.

Most of the men who stay in the countryside know about construction, and Jiang's father is no exception. This is also his main source of income. He mainly helps people build houses, or construct a wall or dig a ditch, all of which are hard work exposed to wind and sun.

Jiang Feng, who used to ask his parents for money, naturally had no right to persuade his father not to go out to take hard work. It was not until now that he had the confidence to ask.

Father Jiang was very pleased to hear this. His face was beaming with joy and he kept saying "good". He felt that today's wine tasted better and better the more he drank it. The same liquor seemed to taste much better than usual.

After hearing this, Jiang's mother nodded and agreed repeatedly. She was really happy in her heart. She felt that once her youngest son graduated from university, the family's life would become more and more promising.
