As soon as "auspicious time arrives", Uncle Zhang Liye, as the head of the family, opened the door first, and entered the new house villa with an iron pot of carbon, followed by his aunt, Zhang Fan, Zhang Xin and others, who followed one after another with things.

The firecrackers outside rang out in time, and the mountains in the distance even echoed the sound of firecrackers, and the whole world was immersed in festivities, which amazed the onlookers.

"Liye, everything in front of you must be moved to the kitchen first. An old man instructed.

The first thing to settle down in a house is the kitchen. The kitchen is also defined locally as the most important place in a home, and the family has food and clothing from the kitchen.

Therefore, when you move into a new house, you must first go to the kitchen and worship the god of the stove.

"Be careful not to spill the water......," the old man pointed out one by one in the back.

No wonder some people always say: There is an old family and a treasure!

This is the case, if you are not familiar with the customs and so on, the old people will lead you to the introduction and use their experience to pass on to future generations, passing on the traditional things.

After settling the kitchen, another important ritual begins, which is also a custom that exists in many places, and that is to worship the four corners.

Worshipping the four horns is our belief in the existence of ghosts and gods, and it is also a kind of worship of ghosts and gods. We believe that the earth is under the care of God, called the god of the earth, and that if people do not get beyond it after death, they will become unjust ghosts. The spirits of the dead will choose some vacant units to live in, so the newly built buildings become a temporary residence for the ghosts.

The biggest weakness of human beings is selfishness, in order not to want people and ghosts to live together, we have a set of banquets before decorating.

The so-called banquet guests are actually inviting the brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts among the ghosts to have a meal, giving them some small money, practicing etiquette and not blaming ghosts, and pleasing them.

At this time, the host's family did not have time to greet the guests, and some of Zhang Fan's cousins helped to receive them, serving tea and pouring water, etc.

"Like our hometown, there are also four corners, but the details are a little different. ”

"That is sure that there will be differences between the same customs and different places, and this is what we usually call local cultural differences. ”

Not to mention culture, even if it is the same thing, it will be different in different soils, climatic conditions, etc. The most typical is citrus, which varies greatly from north to south. But in reality, they are the same plant.

Zhang Fan and the others returned to the hall of the villa, which was luxuriously decorated with crystal chandeliers, which the villagers had only seen on TV. A sofa made of precious wood sits aside, and in front of it is a large LCD TV......

Zhang Fan's villa cost almost two million before and after, and it is incredible to put it in a rural area like theirs.

You must know that the villagers build a two-story building and simply decorate it, at most it will cost two or three hundred thousand yuan. If it is not renovated, a two-story building can be completed for more than 100,000 yuan.

With ten times the money, build a villa, you can imagine how beautiful it is. Not to mention the villagers, even the tourists who come to watch the ceremony, are also attracted by this villa.

"It's only two hundred, so it seems that building a villa in the countryside is really good!" said one tourist.

In the city where he lives, two million are second-hand houses, and there is only one set. Those newly built commercial houses are tens of millions of sets at every turn, not to mention a single villa, not to mention tens of millions, never mention villas.

Therefore, he was really thrilled to see that he had such a good villa for two million.

The villagers of Zhangjiazhai around him, hearing this, distanced themselves from this guy one after another.

Two million should also add the word "cai", in your eyes, two million a house is very cheap?

The surrounding tourists felt the same way, and couldn't help nodding: "The cost performance is really high, if it weren't for the job, I would have wanted to buy a piece of land with them and then build a villa." ”

Other tourists also talked about it, and they all felt that this villa was only two million, which was really exciting.

The villagers of Zhangjiazhai next to them were all silent. originally thought that they had earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from vegetable planting with Zhang Fan, and it would not be difficult to earn millions of dollars a year in the future, so they would be very rich.

However, today I learned that in the outside world, they are not yet in the stream. The money they earn may not be able to afford a house. This has hit them hard, and it seems that they must continue to work hard!

Many tourists really think that the only thing that is high-end is the mahogany furniture in the hall.

They inquired that Zhang Fan purchased wood and gave it to a carpenter in the village to build. That handicraft is many times better than the mechanical production of furniture factories outside.

Moreover, people's processing fees are not expensive, and a set of sofas, coffee tables, etc. will be charged for thousands of yuan.

If outside, such a complete set of old mahogany furniture, as many as thirty or forty pieces, it is impossible to handle it without millions. However, Zhang Fan only spent a few hundred thousand, which is equivalent to saving three and a half million.

This money was undoubtedly earned by outside craftsmen and merchants.

After they calculated the account, some people began to think, should they also learn from Zhang Fan, purchase raw materials, and then hand them over to the carpenters in the village to help build them?

The tourists' thoughts, Zhang Fan, they didn't have time to pay attention, and they were busy with how to worship the four corners according to the old man's command.

According to traditional customs, when worshipping the four corners, you should prepare: 20 fruits, 25 peanuts, 25 candies, 5 small pieces of fat pork with fur, 1 shochu, 5 small portions of raw rice and five-color beans, a stick of incense candles and paper materials for worshipping the four corners, a piece of heavenly clothes, and a landlord's clothes.

Since these offerings were to be made in the four corners and center of the hall, the above items were divided into five parts, and in the center of the hall, three cups of shochu were specially placed.

First, light 21 small incense sticks and face the main entrance, then start from the left-hand side and go around the whole house with incense, including the toilet and kitchen, while silently praying in your heart, such as the well-being of the house, the harmony of husband and wife, etc.

Then the small incense sticks that have been smoked through the house are placed in the five directions, three incense sticks are inserted in the four corners of the east, south, west and north, and nine incense sticks are inserted in the center of the hall, a total of 21 incense sticks.

For incense sticks, put a pair in each place, a total of five pairs, and then put a small cup of shochu, the wine on the terrace, and in front of the gate, and then sprinkle the raw rice at the door. Afterwards, you can burn the paper in the center of the unit or on the back staircase.

After the laundry paper, use a newly bought broom to clean the scene, the direction of the sweeping is from each corner of the hall, sweep the garbage to the center of the hall, and then sweep out of the gate, this move symbolizes sweeping away unclean things.

After completing the above procedures, the old man said that the four corners of the worship were completed, and the family advocated that they could finally be busy with other things, such as receiving guests, and so on.

Mayor Yang and the others sent a painting hanging in the hall, which was not an antique. Most of the others just give a red envelope for profit. There are also some people who send some daily necessities, in short, they are very simple and simple, which makes tourists feel emotional.
