"What are these..." Tang Aiguo was still a little confused as he watched the red festive items being taken out and placed on the table.
He really had never seen it.
"Dad, these are the best for Chinese New Year greetings. Tang Shen and I saw people giving gifts like this in the city, so we brought some back. We only have a small amount, and once we sell them, they'll be gone."
Qin Zijin saw that Tang Aiguo was confused and explained.
These are the New Year’s goods that appeared in later generations.
There are many varieties, Qin Zijin selected some and put them here for sale, which can be considered a start.
It doesn’t matter even if it can’t be sold, as it can be used at home anyway.
Upon hearing this, Tang Aiguo came over curiously.
He recognized the words on it.
There are cigarettes, alcohol, gift boxes of various pastries, and gift boxes of milk.
"Can this be sold? It doesn't look cheap." Tang Aiguo was a little worried.
Now they are no longer the only one in the village. There is one more competitor. If the price of the goods is too high, he is really worried that he will not be able to sell them.
"It's okay. There aren't many things. We're just trying this out to see the results. If it sells well this year, we'll order another batch next year. If it doesn't sell well, we'll just stop doing it. The loss isn't too big." Qin Zijin shook his head and then talked about the price with Tang Aiguo.
Prices vary.
The cheapest one costs 8.88 yuan, and the most expensive one costs 88.8 yuan.
This price is not cheap anymore.
In an era when the average monthly income level is around 30 or 40 years old, not everyone has the courage to spend two months' salary to buy New Year's goods or gifts.
The worry on Tang Aiguo's face did not disappear.
Just at this time a guest arrived.
The man who came was also a man who had worked hard in the southern city. His name was Zhao Zhengming. He had an average relationship with Tang Shen, but he was doing well. He was wearing a long black windbreaker and looked like a decent person.
"Oh, Uncle Aiguo, what are these?" Zhao Zhengming looked at the bright red goods neatly arranged on the table and felt a little curious.
He didn't see it when he came yesterday.
Before Tang Aiguo could answer, Qin Zijin smiled and said, "This thing is called New Year's goods. It is the most suitable gift. It is high-end and classy. It is most suitable to give it to leaders or relatives."
Zhao Zhengming couldn't help but stepped forward to take a few more glances when he heard this.
He was indeed planning to give gifts and build connections, because he had a big deal coming up after the New Year and needed to build connections.
If this thing is really as good as Qin Zijin said, he really doesn't mind spending some money to buy some as a gift.
Each of these high-end gift boxes looks very high-end, and is no different from the hundreds of dollars worth of items in big shopping malls.
Moreover, Zhao Zhengming also saw a cigarette and a bottle of good wine, and he was immediately tempted.
"How much is this thing?" Zhao Zhengming asked, holding the most expensive gift box.
There is a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine in the gift box, and the packaging is very exquisite and beautiful.
Qin Zijin's smile widened as he looked at her. "You really have good taste. This one is not expensive, 188.88. If you want, I'll round it off and charge you 180."
Tang Aiguo's mouth twitched fiercely when he heard this. Didn't he just say 88.88? How did it go up by a hundred yuan in the blink of an eye?
Zhao Zhengming was also a little hesitant when he heard this.
He did make money in the south, four or five hundred a month, but he was hesitant to spend that much money to buy things as gifts.
Seeing him hesitate, Qin Zijin quickly explained, "Look at this wine. This is Maotai, the national liquor. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy such good quality wine outside. Just go to a big shopping mall and ask around. A bottle of wine will cost at least dozens or even hundreds of yuan. And these cigarettes are also good. A carton can cost dozens of yuan. And look at how luxurious the gift box is. It will make you look very proud when you take it out."
"If you give it to someone, you'll gain face, and the person receiving it will also gain face. If you need to discuss something with them later, won't they give you some face?"
The more Zhao Zhengming listened, the more excited he became.
Not to mention the value of the things inside, just the gift box itself can show the care that was put into it. The gilded font looks very grand. He has never seen such a solemn and high-end gift box.
After a brief moment of hesitation, he made up his mind, "Okay, I'll take this gift box."
Qin Zijin took the money with a smile, packed the gift box and gave it to him, and also gave him a small gift.
Zhao Zhengming immediately felt better.
He walked away proudly, carrying the gift box.
"This, it's sold out right away?" Tang Aiguo was amazed. He didn't expect that things could be sold in this way.
The item that originally sold for 88 was sold for 180, and the other party was very grateful.
He felt as if he had learned something extraordinary.
Qin Zijin put the money into the cash box with a smile. Hearing this, he explained with a smile, "Dad, this is the skill of sales. Anything is valuable if you need it. If you don't need it, no matter how cheap it is, people won't buy it."
"There aren't many gift boxes here, so we should be able to sell quite a few."
Tang Aiguo nodded when he heard this.
Qin Zijin turned around and took a pen and paper and wrote down the price.
The most expensive ones are sold, and the prices of the others are relatively lower.
There are only eleven gift boxes in total.
The custom in Shangao Village is not to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but to start visiting people's homes to pay New Year's greetings on the second day.
Children will also go to other people's homes to say some auspicious words and ask for red envelopes.
On the first day of the new year, Qin Zijin and his family ate the leftover food from New Year's Eve. They just heated it up and ate it.
Early the next morning, the two little ones changed into new clothes again and happily went out carrying the red cloth bags made by Qin Zijin for them.
Tang Aiguo went to open a shop, while Qin Zijin and Tang Can stayed at home.
Other people from the village will come to visit us today to wish us a happy new year, so we need to keep someone at home to receive them.
As soon as eight o'clock arrived, people started coming to the door.
The first to arrive was Miao Cuicui and her family.
Zhao Gang walked in and looked around, his eyes immediately fell on the table, which was filled with all kinds of delicious food, including the White Rabbit milk candy that Tang Simeng had given him.
Subconsciously, he swallowed.
"Sister-in-law, Happy New Year." Qin Zijin greeted Miao Cuicui with a smile.
Miao Cuicui came with gifts, which she bought in her shop, and the total value was about twenty or thirty yuan.
Qin Zijin accepted the gift, turned around and took out two red envelopes for Zhao Gang. By the way, she also took out a bag and grabbed a bag of snacks for him. "Gangzi, Happy New Year! I wish you grow up quickly and be healthy in the new year."
"Thank you, auntie." Zhao Gang happily took the red envelope and put it in his pocket, but his attention was attracted by the snacks in the bag.
Miao Cuicui couldn't help but shake her head and said a few words to Qin Zijin. Later, other people from the village also came to pay New Year's greetings, so they had to leave and go to the next house.
