Chapter 35 Pig Farm Beam

These days, Tian Fei's second uncle Tian Zhenli has been processing wood for Tian Fei with a few apprentices.

In pig farms, wood is mainly used on the roof, including beams, rafters, tile frames, doors and windows. are all simple processing, which is not difficult for Tian Zhenli, an old carpenter.

The roof bracket is a large, obtuse-angled equilateral triangle nailed from cedar logs. A bracket is required for every six meters of the roof of the farm. Eighteen wooden brackets have been put up in this 800-square-meter, nearly 100-meter-long pigsty, waiting for the moment when the beams on the roof will be raised.

One hundred and twenty rafters, Tian Fei's second uncle Tian Zhenli is also ready, and they are all fifteen centimeters of fir wood.

At this time, Tian Zhenli was directing in front of a sawmill, and the two apprentices carried a piece of wood, and cooperated to insert the wood into the sawmill, and what came out from the other end was 8mm×80mm planks, which were used to make tile frames. There was already a pile of processed planks next to it.

"Second uncle, I've worked hard for you these past few days." Tian Fei said gratefully to the second uncle.

"What's this, you're out now. I have something I want to discuss with you, and you would like to give me advice. ”

"When?" Tian Fei asked.

"Don't be in a hurry yet, let's talk about it after you're done."

"Hmm...... When the time comes, you can just look for me, and I will definitely not shirk if I can help. Tian Fei assured.

……

The beam on the pig farm is a big deal, and Tian Fei's family has been busy in the past few days. Not to mention the food, Tian Fei originally thought that it would be convenient to open a few tables in the township restaurant, anyway, he set up a table at home when the foundation was laid. In the end, Tian Zhensheng shook his head when he heard this, not to mention that it was inconvenient for twenty or thirty people to go back and forth, and it was still unknown whether the food in the restaurant would suit the taste. Finally, it's still at home.

A few good families in the village came early, the women helped wash and cook the vegetables, and a few men went to borrow a table and set it in the courtyard.

The materials, Tian Fei had prepared them yesterday, and today was more abundant than the day he started work, and he did four, six, six, four. Four plates of cold stacking, six plates of hard vegetables and six plates of flower meat, and the last four soup dishes, the wine is Tian Zhensheng's cellar old wine. Tian Fei didn't know what to pay attention to, and he could do it at home.

……

On the day of Shangliang, thirty or forty people gathered at the foot of Bald Mountain, as well as many children.

Two large bamboo baskets hung by the eaves, and there were treasures, candy, peanuts, biscuits, and a dime or two cents of change. These pictures are auspicious, and eating is secondary. Candy, Tian Fei weighed more than ten catties in the bazaar, all kinds of toffee, fruit candy, gummies, everything, several filled with two bamboo baskets. Wait for the auspicious time to come, go to the main beam, and sprinkle candy.

The ceremony was presided over by Grandpa Tian Fei, in fact, many things have been dispensed with, social development, the pace of life is getting faster and faster, and some customs are more and more simplified, and even disappear. For example, the rooster sacrifice beam, without so much attention, the rooster just went up and walked around, and there was no blood.

"A sacrifice to the head of the beam, thousands of miles of marquis; The second sacrifice beam tail is precious to the end; Three sacrifices to the waist, ribbons fluttering; Four sacrifices to the belly, thousands of years of wealth. The first sacrifice was sacrificed to the heavens, the Luban sacrificed to the gods, the second sacrifice was sacrificed to the ground, and the Guanyin sacrifice was sacrificed to the land. Sacrifice the land Mimi smiled, and He Xi Xiandong built a building. "In the past, they were all sacrificial houses, but there was no sacrificial pigsty, and Grandpa Tian Fei used the pig farm as a house to sacrifice.

When I was a child, Tian Fei and his group of children liked Shangliang the most, there was sugar to eat, and there was money to take, it was just five cents, one cent, and each person picked up three or five cents, but they were excited, and now it seems dispensable, and at that time, a week's pocket money was just that.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the firecrackers rang out, and the incense platform had already been set up, and Grandpa Tian Fei read: "Shangliang worships Jiang Taigong, and the gods and demons come to disturb it." Taigong has a divine whip in his hand, and the charm and spirit retreat quickly...... Beam! "When they worshipped God, they were silent.

Today, many of Tian Zhensheng's friends in the village helped to lift the roof beams, and the first roof beam was rammed upside down to be smooth and round, and the Taiji diagram was drawn with a brush in the middle, and then a few green bamboo branches were tied with a piece of red cloth to suppress evil and avoid harm.

A few bricklayers came to the eaves early. Carrying the bamboo basket and filling each person with a few handfuls of candy, it is customary for the men, women and children below, especially the children, to stare at the bamboo basket with their eyes blank, stretch their necks and wait.

As soon as the wooden beam was on the top, the bricklayer threw down the candy, the old people and children coaxed it together, Tian Fei chuckled, picked up a piece of toffee on the side and put it in his mouth. Sometimes, the bricklayer looks at the bottom pouting the old and the young, and the childlike heart is together, and the candy is deliberately thrown into no one's place, which causes the people below to laugh and scold, and it is very lively.

Tian Fei looked at the smile on the child's face, and smiled knowingly, he used to be like a child in the crowd, shouting, snatching candy, picking up five points, a dime, happy and I don't know why, jumping and jumping. At that time, people had little money, but for a few dollars, a child could have three or five cents and was already considered a little rich.

At the end of the beam ceremony, Tian Fei stuffed a pack of cigarettes and seven pieces of Hongta Mountain for each of the helpers. Many people looked at Tian Fei and gave a thumbs up, even if it was a township, it was also a rare Hongta Mountain. Whether it is the people in the village, or the masons and bricklayers and carpenters, they all feel that Tian Fei's family is generous and benevolent.

At this time, Tian Fei's mother and several people had already prepared a meal, and there were not many people today, and they were also full of four tables, so there were many dishes prepared at home. A few aunts began to serve the food, and it was lively. Without waiting for the guests to sit down for a few minutes, the cold dishes have already been plated. Of course, it's not sitting in vain, among the four little fluttershy, peanuts, melon seeds, melon strips, and dates. Grandpa Tian Fei spoke on behalf of the main family and toasted.

After that, the hot dishes are served, and the hot dishes are not vegan dishes, and the rural people are simple. Vegetarian dishes are taken out to make people see jokes, and each dish has shredded meat and slices of meat as the base.

First, there are six hard dishes: Cihua chicken, braised pork, roasted fish pieces, plum cabbage button meat, sauced yellow beef, stewed pig's trotters;

After that, six dishes of flower meat: green pepper back to the pot meat, fried bacon with smoked bamboo shoots, garlic sprouts pig ears, a bowl of fragrant farmhouse, full of gold and jade, sour and hot chicken offal;

The last four soups: homemade meatball soup, Wang Ba soup, lean pork three fresh soup, pea vermicelli soup.

Coupled with Tian Fei's wine and the drinks he bought, the traditional rural big eight immortal tables were placed full, and adults and children were very satisfied.

……

"Xiaofei, I really didn't mistake you. In less than two months, you've made such a big scene. But don't forget what you said, if you have a good chance, you must remember the people in the village. The village head, Tian Zhenfeng, patted Tian Fei on the shoulder and said, Tian Zhenfeng is Tian Fei's father's brother, and he also came to eat noodles today.

"Zhenfengbo, don't worry, as long as I have some ability, I will always help everyone. When the pig farm is built, one or two people need to be recruited, and the corn field must also be taken care of. Tian Fei decided to sell a favor to the village chief.

"Don't worry, I'll find you someone who is honest and willing to do it, thank you this time, Xiaofei." Tian Zhenfeng said happily with wide eyes.
