Next day. 次日。 Qinghe Town. 青河镇。 Shaba Village. 沙坝村。 Li Mingcheng puts money toward the red packet, while said to the wife: „Meets you to remember that makes several meals, a bit faster that brat shouting, how many points, but also is resting?” 李明诚一边往红包里装钱,一边对老婆说道:“一会你记得多做几个菜,还有快点把那臭小子给喊起来,都多少点了,还在睡？” „Knew!” “知道了！” Wang Cuilan nods, sees the husband toward red packet small stack of old heads, some saying of loving dearly: „I said that your was also too natural, others to 200-300 dollars, you gave generally booing are 700-800.” 王翠兰点了点头,见老公往红包里塞了一小沓的老人头,不禁有些心疼的说道:“我说你这也太大方了吧,别人一般都是给200-300块钱,你倒好一给就是700-800。” Li Mingcheng plugging in the red packet of money receives, said: „What you understand, today I invite is not only the matchmaker, a telling fortunes by physiognomy Grandmaster, can that standard be the same?” 李明诚把塞好钱的红包收好,说道:“你懂什么,今天我去请的不仅仅是媒人,还是一位看相大师,那标准能一样嘛？” Wang Cuilan's doubtful saying: „Yesterday you blowing that came back to go all out, does not know that this Grandmaster river was some really you says was so mysterious.” 王翠兰半信半疑的说道:“昨天你一回来就拼命的吹,也不知道这个江大师是不是真有你说的这么神奇。” Li Mingcheng said: „You think that I am silly, if Grandmaster river settles on 2-3 people, perhaps I will also suspect that he forms a partnership to suppose the fraud that. But that scene you had not seen at that time, Grandmaster river simply was as mysterious as the family/home, basically looked at one, he also said exactly right including our marriages, definitely has the person of real skill.” 李明诚说道:“你以为我傻啊,如果江大师只是看准2-3的话,那我或许还会怀疑他是跟人合伙设下的骗局。可当时那场景你是没有看到,那江大师简直是神奇到家了,基本是一看一个准,包括我们的婚姻他也说得分毫不差,绝对是有真本事的人。” „Let us hope so, I do not strive for now other, only asked this Grandmaster river to help our son find a content marriage affinity, I was well satisfied!” “但愿如此,我现在不求别的,只求这位江大师能帮咱儿子找到一份美满的姻缘,那我就心满意足了！” „Ok, we Xin Jiang Grandmaster and that's the end, I go to the town/subdues to buy two to wrap securely the smoke now, buys some fruits again, then invited Grandmaster river, you hurried to kill the chicken to prepare food!” “行了,咱们相信江大师就是了,我现在就去镇上买两包好烟,再买一些水果,然后就去请江大师,你赶紧杀鸡做饭吧！” „Un, knew!” “嗯,知道了！” ...... …… 9 : 00 am. 上午 9 点。 Mr. Jiang early then drank with the friend to the town/subdues, this was the things of their several friend agreement established customs, on 25 Baxu days time, will concentrate in some old powder shop to town/subdues to drink a young wine. 江父早早的便到镇上和朋友喝酒去了,这是他们几个朋友约定成俗的事情,每逢二五八圩日的时候,都会集中到镇上的某家老粉店喝点小酒。 As for river flying, meets the holiday, that must certainly rest to meet to noon. 至于江飞,遇到休息日,那肯定是要睡到中午才会起来。 Therefore, the breakfast is river Feng accompanies mother stretch/open Mei to eat together, what eaten is the cooling down gruel matches the crisp and tasty yellow melon skin. 因此,早餐是江枫陪母亲张梅一起吃的,吃的是清火粥配脆爽的黄瓜皮。 The cooling down gruel is actually the rice congee, but hundred beam counties cooling down gruel with the rice congees of other places have the difference, the cooling down gruel is fastidious about a clear character, is the rice water is clear . Moreover the millet for porridge wants a grains of distinction, cannot be rotten absolutely, takes with the local words just „commit a footfault to ripe” best. 清火粥其实就是白粥,不过百梁县这边的清火粥跟其它地方的白粥还是有区别的,清火粥讲究一个清字,就是米汤要清,而且粥米要粒粒分明,绝对不能烂,用当地的话来说就是以刚好“熟过线”为最佳。 „The yellow melon skin so crisp and tasty that mother, you pickle is delicious, what a pity is insufficiently spicy, if Chiedo orders the millet to burn to be more delicious.” river Feng eats while the review to say. “妈,你腌的这个黄瓜皮还是那么脆爽好吃,可惜就是不够辣,要是切多点小米辣下去的话应该更好吃。”江枫一边吃一边点评道。 In stretch/open Mei swallows mouth gruel, said: „You, with your older sister also are really a type, since going to college, ate the hot pepper continually becomes fierce, I also had your elder brother probably unable to eat with your father is so spicy.” 张梅把口中的粥吞下,说道:“你啊,跟你姐还真是一个样,自从上了大学之后,连吃辣椒都变得厉害了,我跟你爸还有你哥可吃不了那么辣。” river Feng said with a smile: „Without the means that that side Hubei studies, if could not eat spicily, that really did not have the luck of having good things to eat.” 江枫笑道:“没办法,在鄂省那边读书要是吃不了辣的话,那就真的没口福了。” At this point, his cell phone made a sound. 说到这里,他的手机响了起来。 river Feng digs up the mouth the last gruel fast, fishes out the cell phone from the pants pocket, saw when the name that the electricity demonstrates was Li Mingcheng, in his heart cannot help but one happy, it seems like yesterday he on vehicle ‚performance’ has not wasted, was makes him successfully draw to the first customer finally. 江枫快速把最后一口粥扒进嘴里,才从裤袋中摸出手机,看到来电显示的名字叫李明诚时,他心中不由得一喜,看来昨天他在车上的‘表演’没有白费,总算是让他成功拉到第一个客户了。 Telephone connection. 电话接通。 „Hey, hello/you good!” “喂,你好！” „Hello Grandmaster river, I increased your telephone on the vehicle yesterday with WeChat, do you still remember me?” “你好江大师,昨天我在车上添加了你的电话跟微信,你还记得我吧？” „You are Uncle Li of Shaba Village, I remember certainly.” “你是沙坝村的李叔嘛,我当然记得。” „Grandmaster river, had the words I to speak frankly, I want to ask you to give my family that boy to act as a matchmaker, I have arrived at the village of your Longshan Village, what position didn't know your family in? Troubles you to send a localization on WeChat to me.” “江大师,有话我就直说了,我想请你给我家那小子做媒,我已经来到你们龙山村的村口了,不知道你家是在什么位置？麻烦你在微信上给我发个定位。” „Acts as a matchmaker surely does not have the issue, does not use a round of localization, you come from village there directly, probably about 500-600 meters have a bridge, crossing a bridge dozens meters had Longan tree there toward right is my family.” “做媒肯定是没问题的,不用发定位,你直接从村口那里进来,大概500-600米左右有一座小桥,过了桥往右几十米有棵龙眼树那里就是我家了。” „, This, I immediately!” “哦,这样啊,那我马上到！” „Good, I and others you!” “好的,我等你！” Hears ‚acting as a matchmaker’ these two characters, stretch/open Mei somewhat was curious, saw river Fenggua the telephone, then asked: „Small maple tree, what situation is this? That what does Uncle Li of Shaba Village want to ask you to act as a matchmaker?” 听到‘做媒’这两个字,张梅就有些好奇了,见江枫挂了电话,便问道:“小枫,这是什么情况啊？那什么沙坝村的李叔要请你做媒？” river Feng explained with a smile: „When this Uncle Li was I went by car from the provincial capital knew yesterday, he wants to ask me to his son to act as a matchmaker, now the person have arrived at the village, immediately.” 江枫笑着解释道:“这李叔是我昨天从省城坐车回来时认识的,他是想请我给他儿子做媒,现在人都已经到村口了,马上就到。” stretch/open Mei said with amazement: „This outcome what's the matter? Your this just did not decide must work as the matchmaker? How did some people come to ask you to act as a matchmaker quickly?” 张梅惊讶道:“这究竟是怎么回事啊？你这不是才刚刚决定要当媒人的吗？怎么这么快就有人上门请你做媒了？” river Fengche stretch/open paper towel wiped the mouth, said: „Yesterday I came back had an advertisement on the vehicle, this Uncle Li compared to believe the ability that I acted as a matchmaker, naturally must come to invite me!” 江枫扯了张纸巾擦了擦嘴,说道:“昨天我回来的时候在车上打了一下广告,这李叔比较相信我做媒的能力,自然就要上门来请我了！” On stretch/open Mei the forehead full is the question mark. 张梅脑门上满是问号。 This age works as the matchmaker such simply? 这年代当媒人这么简单的吗？ Hits some advertisement people to believe on the vehicle casually? 随随便便在车上打个广告就有人相信？ Sees mother also to continue to closely examine, river Feng beckons with the hand to say hastily: „Mother, you first do not ask that the guest, you first reduced fever the blister tea immediately!” 见母亲还想继续追问,江枫连忙摆手说道:“妈,你先别问了,客人马上就到,你先去烧水泡茶吧！” stretch/open Mei sees that can only have the having mind filled with question to make tea, after all the future is a guest, no matter what situation, must first entertain well the guest to say again. 张梅见状只能带着满腹疑问去泡茶,毕竟来者是客嘛,不管是什么情况,也要先把客人招待好再说。 Quick, a white sedan then arrived at river Feng main house gate. 很快,一辆白色的轿车便开到了江枫家门口。 This sedan is not the expensive car, but quite common Honda Accord. 这轿车不是什么豪车,而是比较常见的本田雅阁。 Li Mingcheng from the vehicle, raised the fruits of two sacks, a face polite greeted: „Grandmaster river, disturbed!” 李明诚从车上下来,提了两大袋的水果,一脸客气的打招呼道:“江大师,打扰了！” river Feng received the fruit bag, said with a smile: „Uncle Li you were really polite, my work was looks forward to you to disturb!” 江枫接过水果袋子,笑道:“李叔你真是太客气了,我这工作是巴不得你来打扰啊！” Two people polite one took a seat, then Ms. Jiang carried two cups of tea to come, both sides unavoidably were a politeness. 两人客气了一番落座,然后江母端了两杯茶过来,双方免不了又是一番客气。 After talking at random for several minutes, saying that Li Mingcheng then comes straight to the point: „Grandmaster river, a moment ago in telephone I have told you, I want to ask you to help my family that boy act as a matchmaker, this matchmaker money many you open a price!” 在东拉西扯了几分钟后,李明诚便开门见山的说道:“江大师,刚才在电话里我已经跟你说过了,我想请你帮我家那小子做媒,这媒人钱多少你开个价吧！” The acting as a matchmaker quotation according to Qinghe Town, the friends and relatives are an exception, other employers want to invite the matchmaker, generally is first reaching an agreement matchmaker money, the matchmaker will send out. 按青河镇这边的做媒行情,亲戚朋友除外,其他顾主想要请媒人,一般都是先商量好媒人钱,媒人才会出动的。 This matchmaker money decides, basically is over ten thousand Yuan, even reaches as high as 30,000-40,000 also has. 这个媒人钱因人而定,基本都是万元以上,甚至高达30,000-40,000的也不是没有。 Not crossing the river maple tree matchmaker is doomed to be different from other matchmakers, he acts as a matchmaker, not only the single wants to make that matchmaker money, but also planned that maintains the good relations with the customer, waited for the later customer to be many relationship network to grow strong, he wants to do what business to be like a fish in water again, wants to handle matters can also be able to draw in the relations. 不过江枫这个媒人注定跟其他媒人不一样,他做媒不单单只是想赚那点媒人钱,还打算跟客户维持良好的关系,等以后客户多了关系网发展壮大了,他再想做点什么生意都会如鱼得水,想办什么事也都能拉得上关系。 Therefore, river Feng beckons with the hand to say immediately: „Uncle Li, I acts as a matchmaker with others is different, I am hope that entire day below lover becomes the family member finally, enjoys reconciles a happy marriage personally the happy feeling, therefore matchmaker money anything do not raise, when I completed you to look the matter again to the red packet and that's the end!” 因此,江枫当即摆手说道:“李叔,我做媒跟别人不一样的,我是希望全天下的有情人终成眷属,享受亲手撮合一桩美满姻缘的幸福感,所以媒人钱什么的就不要提了,等我把事办成了你再看着给个红包就是了！” Li Mingcheng hears word had the confidence to him, immediately put out to prepare the good red packet as well as two hold/container Dalong( really the Longhai rhyme, Gui Sheng the unique precious cigarette, named big dragon and blue dragon, was honored as real dragon in real dragon) to hand over, sincere saying: „Grandmaster river, I know how should do, this is the money pouch red packet that I give you to prepare, you first accept, the matter of lifetime importance of my family that boy, asked you!” 李明诚闻言对他更有信心了,当即拿出准备好的红包以及两包大龙(真龙海韵,桂省极具特色的名贵香烟,又名大龙、蓝龙,被誉为真龙中的真龙)递过去,诚恳的说道:“江大师,我知道该怎么做了,这是我给你准备的利是红包,你先收下,我家那小子的终身大事,就拜托你了！” Sees the red packet and cigarette, river Feng does not have the hypocrisy to decline, but refreshed receives, said: „Uncle Li felt relieved, I had the confidence to help Brother Wen find one percentage hundred to let his satisfied wife.” 看到红包与香烟,江枫也没有假意推辞,而是爽快的收下来,说道:“李叔放心,我有信心帮文哥找到一个百分百让他满意的老婆。” Li Mingcheng said: „The matter cannot be delayed, I lead Grandmaster river you to know the situation to my family now, sees my family that boy while convenient.” 李明诚说道:“事不宜迟,我现在就带江大师你到我家去了解一下情况,顺便见一见我家那小子。” river Feng nods saying: „Good, that walks!” 江枫点头说道:“好的,那就走吧！” Then, river Feng notifies mother, then rode Li Mingcheng's sedan. 说完,江枫跟母亲打了声招呼,便坐上了李明诚的轿车。 After the sedan drives away, stretch/open Mei puts the red packet on table to disassemble the son to look hastily, discovered that in put 800 dollars, making her shock. 等轿车开走后,张梅连忙把儿子搁在桌上的红包拆开来一看,发现里面足足放了八百块钱,让她震惊不已。 After all this is only asks the intermediary rather than to thank the matchmaker after the wedding, she saw that for the first time will ask the intermediary to give such thick red packet. 毕竟这只是请媒而不是谢媒,她还是第一次见到请媒会给这么厚的红包。 In table that two hold/container Dalong, although stretch/open Mei does not smoke, but this type of selling 50 money one packet of precious cigarettes, she knew, in addition that two sack fruits, the value also definitely surpassed 100. 还有桌上那两包大龙,虽然张梅不抽烟,但这种卖五十块钱一包的名贵香烟,她还是认识的,再加上那两大袋水果,价值也肯定超过了一百。 In other words, light/only invites intermediary step, others spent enough over a thousand oceans. 也就是说,光是请媒这一步,人家就花了足足上千大洋。 Shocking stretch/open Mei takes the cell phone to call the husband hastily. 震惊的张梅连忙拿手机给老公打电话。 ...... …… On the Accord vehicle, river Fengzheng listens to Li Mingcheng to introduce his son Li Xingwen. 雅阁车上,江枫正听李明诚介绍他的儿子李兴文。 „Grandmaster river, my family that boy person is long calculates, the social capability is also quite strong, moreover he himself does the scrap iron business also to gain to a lot of money, the pornography he does not moisten, can say that the merit is many.” “江大师,我家那小子人呢长得还算可以,社交能力也比较强,而且他自己做废铁生意也能赚到不少钱,黄赌毒他都不沾,可以说优点还是蛮多的。” At this point, Li Mingcheng sighed: „But we tell the truth, the shortcoming of this brat are also many, not only the vision is high, but also quite likes playing, spending is also wasteful, often goes to KTV to open the theater box to shake the leg, he does business these money of making basically to take away with his friends squanders like this. Idea that 30 over, he had not actually gotten married shortly, what making us be the parents is really anxiously.” 说到这里,李明诚叹了口气道:“可咱有一说一,这臭小子的缺点也不少,不仅仅眼光高,还比较爱玩,花钱也是大手大脚的,动不动就去KTV开厢抖腿,他做生意赚的那些钱基本都是拿去跟他那些朋友这样花光的。眼看都已经三十出头了,他却一直没有成家的想法,让我们做父母的真是急得不行。” In river Fengxin understands clearly, said: „Uncle Li, you urgently is asking me to act as a matchmaker, should want to look for one to Brother Wen providing lodging his wife, making him make money to support the family honestly, rather than gains one point of flowered one point like the present right?” 江枫心中了然,说道:“李叔,你这么急着请我做媒,应该是想给文哥找一个能管住他的老婆,让他老老实实的赚钱养家,而不是像现在这样赚一分花一分对吧？” Li Mingcheng nods to say again and again: „Grandmaster river said right, I was this idea, my living condition was not bad, I raised pigs for more than ten years with my wife, accumulated a lot of money, so long as can change the ruined family personality of my family that boy, we were the parents anything did not need to worry!” 李明诚连连点头说道:“江大师说对了,我正是这个想法,咱家的生活条件并不差,我跟我老婆养猪十几年,也攒下了不少钱,只要能改掉我家那小子的败家性格,那我们做父母的就啥都不用愁了！” river Fengen, said: „I understood, Uncle Li you could rest assured that this is I becomes the first war after matchmaker, I will do utmost absolutely, looks for a prosperous family/home wife for your Li Jia.” 江枫嗯了一声,说道:“我明白了,李叔你放心,这是我成为媒人之后的第一战,我绝对会竭尽全力,替你们李家找一位旺家媳妇。” „The ability of Grandmaster river I am the percentage hundred believe that all these asked you!” “江大师的能力我是百分百相信的,那这一切就拜托你了！” „Uncle Li was polite, this is my job!” “李叔客气了,这是我份内之事！”
