Sunday, October 2, 2022.
The provincial capital of Guangxi Province.
Hu Wenhua loaded the gifts of thanksgiving, such as pig heads, pig buttocks, pig legs, cigarettes, alcohol, tea, candies, and biscuits, into the car one by one, and then said to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, "Dad, Mom, do you have anything else to say?"
Father Wu said: "It's nothing, drive safely!"
Mother Wu looked at her daughter and said, "When you go to someone else's house, be polite and greet everyone you meet. After all, politeness is always welcome!"
Wu Yuting said helplessly: "I know, Mom, your daughter still knows basic etiquette."
Mother Wu said, "Okay, the journey is long, you should go early and come back early!"
"Okay, Mom and Dad, let's go!" Hu Wenhua responded, then got into the car with his wife Wu Yuting, turned on the positioning navigation, and drove towards Longshan Village, Qinghe Town.
Not far from them, there was also a car loaded with gifts to thank the matchmaker driving in the same direction. The people in the car were none other than the couple Yuan Yi and Zhao Jing.
…
Qingshan Town.
Zhujia Village.
Zhu Shiliu loaded various gifts to thank the matchmaker into the car, and then drove to Longshan Village in Qinghe Town with his wife.
…
Dabei Town.
Wang Feng and his wife drove to Longshan Village in Qinghe Town, and the car was also filled with various gifts to thank the matchmaker.
…
Mr. and Mrs. He Xu...
Zhou Xiaoben and his wife...
There are also Wei Mingjie and his wife and a member of the original bachelor list in Longshan Village.
…
Eight clients held weddings yesterday, and Jiang Feng knew that these eight clients would definitely come to thank the matchmakers today, so he discussed with his parents last night what dishes to prepare to entertain the guests.
Now, Jiang Feng’s house has been demolished, and the foundation of the new house has just been laid. If he wants to build and renovate the duplex and move in, it will take at least the end of the year at the earliest.
Fortunately, before the house was demolished, Wei Tiande and his son helped build a temporary tin house and stove in advance.
At this time, Jiang Feng and his father were helping his mother prepare various dishes.
After ten o'clock in the morning, customers began to arrive one after another.
The first to arrive were naturally Wei Mingjie and his wife, as well as a couple who were originally on the village's bachelor list, followed by Zhu Shiliu and his wife, Zhou Xiaoben and his wife, He Xu and his wife, Wang Feng and his wife, and other clients from nearby towns and villages.
The last to arrive were Mr. and Mrs. Hu Wenhua and Mr. and Mrs. Yuan Yi from the provincial capital.
Except for two customers from the village, the other six customers came by car. The six cars were parked in a row in front of the Jiang family's tin house. Various valuable gifts to thank the matchmakers and thick red envelopes were moved into the tin house.
This scene made the neighbors envious.
At noon, Jiang Feng's family set up two tables to entertain the clients who came to thank the matchmaker.
Since several clients had to drive, everyone didn't drink, but just had a simple meal before saying goodbye and leaving one by one.
Before leaving, Jiang Feng sent a blessing to each couple, added them to the perfect match WeChat group, and then gave them a number one by one.
By now, his client base already included fifteen couples.
At the same time, the scope of the matching search has expanded again, reaching an astonishing radius of ten miles x 16. This range is really not small. Even a large county like Bailiang County can cover one-third of the area.
If it were Linchuan County next door, there would be no problem covering the entire county with the search.
After the customers left one by one, Jiang's mother immediately entered the tin house where the thank-you gifts were kept and started her favorite inventory session.
Jiang's mother has gained experience in receiving gifts over this period of time. Even though eight clients came to her house today to thank them for their matchmaking, she did not rush when collecting the gifts. Instead, she divided all the gifts and red envelopes separately to ensure that her son Jiang Feng would know which gift and red envelope was from which client.
"Xiao Feng, this pile of gifts and red envelopes were sent by A Da (the member on the bachelor list) and his wife. The pile next to it was sent by A Jie and his wife. This pile was sent by Yuan Yi and his wife from the provincial capital. This pile is..." Jiang's mother introduced them to her son one by one.
Jiang Feng took a quick glance and knew what was going on.
Then he opened the red envelope of thanks from the matchmaker with his parents and started counting the money.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Feng roughly summarized the thank-you gifts from eight clients.
Among them, the one who gave the most was Wei Mingjie and his wife, with a cash red envelope of 33,800 yuan and gifts of about 6,000 yuan, with a total value of nearly 40,000 yuan, which can be said to be a generous amount.
Next was Yuan Yi and Zhao Jing, who received a cash red envelope of 28,800 yuan and gifts of about 8,000 yuan, with a total value of around 36,800 yuan, which was also a large sum.
Following closely behind were the couple Hu Wenhua and Wu Yuting, whose cash red envelope also consisted of 28,800 yuan + gifts of about 6,000 yuan, with a total value of around 34,800 yuan, which is not a small amount.
Then, the Wang Feng couple and the He Xu couple should have had an agreement that the cash red envelopes were 26,800 yuan + gifts of about 5,000 yuan, with a total value of about 31,800 yuan, which also broke the three-figure mark.
The cash red envelopes received by Zhou Xiaoben and his wife and Zhu Shiliu and his wife were both 22,800 yuan + gifts of about 3,000 yuan.
Ada's family was the poorest among them, but he also gave a cash red envelope of 13,800 yuan + gifts of about 2,000 yuan.
In this wave, Jiang Feng received a total of 204,400 yuan in cash red envelopes and gifts worth about 38,000 yuan, which made Jiang's father and mother's hearts beat fast.
The speed at which my youngest son makes money is really terrifying!
They have already calculated that it has been less than three months since their youngest son started matchmaking, but he has received nearly 500,000 yuan in cash red envelopes and gifts, and his monthly income is as high as 170,000 yuan, which is simply incredible.
From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of matchmaking being so profitable.
Aunt Li from the next door village has been a matchmaker for 20 to 30 years and is quite famous in the nearby villages, but she can only earn tens of thousands of yuan during the Spring Festival peak period. Although she earns a lot during normal times, on average she only makes about 30,000 to 20,000 yuan a month.
Looking at the thick stack of hundred-yuan bills in front of him, Jiang's father said, "Xiao Feng, your business is getting bigger and bigger now. Some big clients from other provinces have already started looking for you to act as a matchmaker. I guess you will be busier and busier in the future.
Your elder brother's job seemed pretty good originally. He worked near home and earned five or six thousand a month. But now it is far inferior to your matchmaking.
And your sister only earns three to five thousand yuan a month working outside.
In this situation, it is better to let them quit their jobs and come back to work with you. You can guide them and match them up with a couple once a month. The money you earn will be much more than what they can earn by working as a part-time worker.
Moreover, compared to working on time and going to and from get off work, matchmaking is really relaxing and free, what do you think?"
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Dad, you and I are thinking the same thing. I was planning to do the same thing. If it weren't for the fact that our house has been demolished and it's not convenient to live in this tin house, I would have called my sister to quit her job and come back."
Father Jiang said, "It's good that you have this idea. Your sister is not a daughter of a rich family. It's not inconvenient for her to live in a tin house. Call her later and ask her to quit her job and come back!"
Jiang Feng nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll send her the video now!"
