Chapter 222: The Ink Master

Early the next morning, Li Junge came to the greenway early, and there were still six big roosters waiting to be cleaned up!

On the edge of the greenway is the construction site of the Miao babies, the cauldron, the stove and the shed are all ready-made, Li Junge grabbed Ermao and started with He Miao.

They are all more than ten catties of small feet and black bone big roosters, the chicken offal is cleaned up and fried for a while, and the rest of the chime chime is chopped into large pieces, and it is taken out after the water is tightly passed in the cauldron, and washed with hot water. Then strain the chicken broth tightly past the chicken and set aside separately.

Then add soy sauce and cooking wine to a large basin, pour the chicken pieces into it, and scoop it up with both hands, so that the chicken is covered with sauce and marinated for about an hour.

Be sure to do this while it's hot, so that the chicken can easily absorb the flavor.

Add oil to the cauldron, then pour in two packets of roast chicken seasoning and two packs of hot pot ingredients, then put in two catties of dried chili peppers and two catties of peppercorns and stir-fry.

At that time, the roast chicken store was full of streets and alleys in Shudu, but as soon as the bagged seasoning came out, they closed one by one, because as long as the roast chicken was seasoned, the method was too simple.

After stir-frying the seasoning until the aroma is overflowing, Li Junge adds the chicken pieces and continues to stir-fry, and then the freshly filtered chicken broth is poured into the pot and the chicken is stewed.

While cooking the chicken, wash the onion, celery, green pepper and coriander, and cut well.

Then start peeling the shoots and potatoes.

Simmer over high heat until the chicken is soft, then pour in the shoots and potatoes, and add the celery, onion and green pepper after 10 minutes.

Continue to cook for 10 minutes, remove from heat, add coriander and serve in pots.

This dish is really not difficult, it is a "big" word, big block, big pot, big fire, big oil, big fragrance, big spicy, marijuana, big pot, most suitable for a group of big men shirtless, just make a big wine.

At noon, Zhu Chaoan drove Uncle A Chong and more than a dozen Miao babies down.

A group of people from Li Jiagou's side who participated in stealing beams yesterday also arrived one after another, and there were also more than a dozen.

The spicy smell of roast chicken filled the entire greenway, and the Miao babies sat at the table, their noses twitching.

A total of four tables were seated, each table was half Miao Wa and half Han Wa, everyone talked about stealing the beam yesterday, and the situation on both sides was exchanged, and they all felt interesting and funny.

Li Junge fried the chicken offal again, served a large pot of roast chicken on each table, two plates of fried chicken offal, and said to Uncle A Chong with a wine glass: "It's simple, Uncle A Chong, I really confessed yesterday, the dogs in the village were not released, otherwise all the people of Li Jiagou would have to leave the forest!"

Uncle Ah Chong laughed and said: "It was originally a picture of a fun! Could it be that it should be a thief and a baby! Hahaha! You don't know, I started to choose six beams, I am afraid that you are not familiar with Miao Wa, so I want to tie it to you first, so it is convenient." As a result, the people in the village heard that it was the Piwa under the mountain who wanted to raise the beam, and secretly you tied one to your family, and I tied one to my family, and the whole mountain was all over the mountain, and you said that this matter is troublesome!"

Li Junge said: "I'm so grateful, the love on the mountain, I remember it well, and the matter of Miao Village in the future will be my business!"

Uncle Ah Chong waved his hand again and again, and said: "If you want to talk about love, it should be Miao Zhai who remembers your love for Piwa, how can you ever be so happy in the village in the past few decades?

Li Junge looked at the woolen vest and coat on his body, and said: "This winter moon has just arrived, and there is still a month left in the wax moon, why is it the New Year?"

Ah Tong said: "Don't you know Erpi? Our Miao family's New Year is on the tail of the winter moon, which is different from your Han Wa!"

Only then did Li Junge react and said, "Hahaha, forget about this stubble! I will definitely come then!"

Ah Tong said excitedly: "That's it, the village must be very lively this year, you must come up!"

After stealing the beam last night, the young people on and off the mountain got acquainted with each other again, drank a big glass of wine, ate a large piece of meat, and soon became one.

Li Junge toasted Uncle A Chong again, and said: "Uncle A Chong, I heard He Miao say that there are many famous ways for your old carpentry craftsmen to work, you tell me, I will see if I can let Ah Yin report the craftsmanship and exquisiteness of the wooden building to the intangible cultural heritage." ”

Uncle Ah Chong said: "There are too many things to say here, in the early years, we were all masters with apprentices, three years of apprentices, one year of help, we didn't get paid, and then we could get out of the school, and after leaving the school, we had to follow the master as a subordinate for several years, so that we could stand alone." ”

"In our industry, the master is called 'Palm Ink Master', and there are no drawings for the house, no matter how big the house is, it is in the mind of the Palm Ink Master. ”

"What the whole house needs and how to make it, the ink master must know it. ”

"All components, regardless of beams, columns, fangs, plates, rafters, purlins, tenons, are made of wood, only connected by mortise and tenon, without a nail, regardless of the size and position, in the absence of design drawings, to do exactly the slightest. ”

"Thousands of beams and rafters are all bounced out by the palm ink master with an ink fountain, and the others just transform the wood into various components according to the lines drawn by the palm ink master, which is the difference between an apprentice and a master. ”

"All the components are erected, none of them are wrong, and the mortise and tenon joints are tightly fitted, which is the hard ability to eat! It is also the origin of the name 'Ink Master'. ”

"Let's go back to the house, the fourteen steps from the house, there are many norms and laws every step, and there are many rituals of worshiping the gods and praying for blessings and blessings, all of which are taught by the master's words and deeds. If you have no craftsmanship, plus a copy of "Luban Book", there is no inheritance, and you can't be a master of ink. ”

"Let's take the preparation before building a house, the first thing is to choose the location, which is basically based on the principle of choosing to face the mountains and rivers, sitting in the north and facing the south, and the terrain is moderate. The specific housing field pays attention to the thick mountain, and the left and right are not ravine, which is basic. Of course, it is better to rely on the mountains and face the water, and gather the wind and gather qi. If you can find the protection of the dragon and tiger, the phoenix Xiangqi, the spirit turtle floating map, etc., it is a treasure of feng shui that can be encountered. ”

"There are a variety of taboos when choosing a site, for example, if the opposite side is Baiyan Mountain, it will affect future generations, and it is easy to become a "white hair" after death......;

"When encountering these places, it is not impossible to build houses, then it is necessary to have the ability of an ink maker, the jargon is called 'mending deviations and saving shelters', or planting trees, or matching side houses, or building pigsty and cattle pens, and remedying them in various ways. ”

Li Junge picked his head and said, "Hearing you say this, why do I think that you are robbing Mr. Feng Shui's job in this business?"

Uncle Ah Chong said proudly: "A good feng shui master may not be a good ink master, but a good ink master must still be a feng shui master." ”

Then he continued: "After the site selection is completed, the next step is to 'lay the foundation', and there are several small links in the foundation. Before hitting the house foundation, you must sacrifice to the mountain, because 'hitting the house foundation' means occupying the mountain, so you have to sacrifice to the mountain god grandfather, and get his permission to do it, generally use chickens, but also use pigs, sheep, etc., but avoid using cows. ”

"Because oxen are our source of food and clothing, and they are sent by the gods to help us live, we should not use them as sacrifices. ”

"Mountain sacrifices are generally carried out by the gods and Hans, and sometimes our more expert palm ink master is the presiding officer of the homecoming ceremony. ”

"After the sacrifice to the mountain, it is 'orientation', the direction of the house is set up by Mr. Feng Shui, our saying is 'Dinglong Ridge', one is to determine the auspiciousness of the mountain, and the other is to determine the direction of auspiciousness, so as to determine where the gate opens. ”

"In the past, the stilted building was built, and the building was built in the right place, and the direction was not easy to say, so it was the best house to 'left green dragon, right white tiger, front Vermilion Bird, and rear Xuanwu'. ”

"Later, the wooden building began to be built on the flat land under the mountain, so it was necessary to pay attention to the direction of the house. “

"Of course, there are certain principles for orientation, and the "Book of Luban" says that 'Yang Mansion is no different from Longyuan, and the residence needs to be wide and flat. Mingtang needs to be a guest, and Wantangmen is the first to stand. East and west mats and kitchens, courtyards, terraces, gardens. Or go into the mountains to find the plains, and there is water in front and back to embrace you. The same is true if there are roads on the left and right, but you must avoid jumping back. The four dragons of water, wood, gold and earth, this is the best base for the final auspicious. ’”

Although this is the saying of the Han family, our Miao family's Yang house orientation is also mostly used as a general method. ”

In addition to making the house go in the right direction after it is built, it is also necessary to consider whether it is in line with the eight characters of the owner. ”

"The orientation of the house is mostly north and south, but it cannot be due south and north, and needs to be 15 degrees east. ”

It is said that after Zhu Yuanzhang entered Beijing to repair Tiananmen Square, he wanted to monopolize the position of sitting in the north and facing south, and did not let the people have this direction. Even if you want to repair, there should be officials in the family, otherwise, if you break the ban, you will be punished, and if you want to repair, you are not allowed to go due south. After changing the land and returning to the stream, our Miao family had to follow it, and this rule has been used to this day. ”

"In addition to the north-south orientation, it can also sit west and face east, or sit east and face west according to the topography. But generally do not sit in the south and face north, because the doors and windows are open to the north, there is a saying that 'the north wind sweeps the hall, and the family is ruined'. ”

Li Junge's eyes circled when he heard this: "It's too exquisite! I don't know if the designers who repair elevator apartments now also have to consider these! Those who design houses also know how to read feng shui, which is really insightful!"

Uncle Ah Chong said with a smile: "In fact, except for Mr. Feng Shui and the ink maker, only based on experience, the master himself can also cut off the orientation of his house." ”

Li Junge was overjoyed and said: "Is there such a thing? What should you think of it? Tell me quickly, I can also pretend to be a feng shui master in the future!"

Uncle Ah Chong said: "In fact, it is very simple, such as looking at the direction of the nest of the magpie or the swallow on the beam, or the direction that your family often goes to after going out, it can be considered as the auspicious direction." ”

Li Junge couldn't cry or laugh: "You said such a big set before, and now you tell me such a simple method, is this reliable?!"

Uncle Ah Chong said with a smile: "It's roughly reliable, because the two are often in surprisingly the same direction." There's no reason for that!"

Li Junge picked up another glass of wine and said, "It turns out that there is still so much preparation work before building a house, come on, Uncle Ah Chong is tired of you, I will toast you again." ”

Uncle Ah Chong took a drink, and the conversation became more and more interested, and said, "This is not over yet!"

"The next step is 'timing', which is a necessary preparation before breaking ground. The timing is based on the situation of the owner, the environmental conditions of the selected house, combined with the approximate time period for building the foundation, and choosing a auspicious time to carry out, such as cloudy and sunny days, yin and sunny days, etc......"

"After that, it's a job, that is, a person who helps with the house, which also has to be picked. Strong labor force and rich experience are only one aspect, in addition, we must also choose some people with heavy yang energy, people with double cultivation, and people with strong children and grandchildren. When choosing a job, some children should be organized to be taken by these people to walk around the construction site, indicating that the house will be prosperous in the future. ”
