"Uncle Xiaofei, I'm your sister. Xiaofei's pig farm is about to be laid, yes, tomorrow. Remember to come early and have breakfast......"

"Aunt Xiaofei, didn't I say last time that Xiaofei went home to run a pig farm. Yes, yes, I contracted to build my own pig farm, lay the foundation stone tomorrow, hold a banquet, and you will come over for breakfast in the morning......"

"Xiaolan, ...... tomorrow morning"

……

In the afternoon, Tian Fei's mother began to call relatives and friends, inviting them to come to the groundbreaking ceremony of Tian Fei's pig farm tomorrow.

The mountains have been contracted, the money has been prepared, the roads have been repaired, and the villagers have been busy with the "double robbery" work in the fields. It can be said that everything is ready, and Tian Fei plans to directly build his own pig farm. Unexpectedly, my parents said that they would do a groundbreaking ceremony and worship the gods from all walks of life. Tian Fei thought about it, as the so-called local customs, he agreed with his parents.

In fact, in the countryside, whether it is building a house or building a road, or getting married and removing, or even building a beam and stove, you will go to worship God with incense. A pig farm like Tian Fei who laid the foundation not only had to worship God, but also held a banquet and invited relatives and friends to have a meal.

Tian Fei's parents invited some relatives and friends to attend the groundbreaking ceremony, and Tian Fei himself invited several of his business partners, Zou Dawang, the owner of the Dawang breeding base, and his classmate Xu Xiaoming, the boss of Zhengda Feed in the county, the contractor of the pig farm construction, the plasterer Pingping, and some villagers who were going to work.

After inviting these people, as soon as he put down the phone, a beautiful figure appeared in Tian Fei's mind. Then Tian Fei picked up the phone again and dialed it.

"Hey, hello, Boss Tian, remember to call me. A crisp female voice came from the other end of the phone, and listening to it could make Tian Fei feel refreshed.

"Li Yu, are you busy tomorrow?" Tian Fei asked worriedly.

"It's summer vacation, and every day I eat, sleep, and eat at home, and I feel the same as the pigs you raised. You're so busy every day, do you still want to invite me to play?" Tian Fei was a little happy when he heard it.

"Tomorrow the foundation stone of my pig farm will be laid, and I would like to invite you over for the ceremony. Tian Fei sent out an invitation on the phone.

He hesitated for about five or six seconds, and then said, "It's okay, but I'm going to bring Li Lu with me, don't say that I brought someone to eat!"

"Of course, of course. I can't be happy if you two can come. Tian Fei hurriedly said, a little happy in the seventh month.

"Okay, then let's come over together tomorrow and see the career of the famous college students in ten miles and eight villages. ”

……

July 24, 2003, the twenty-fifth day of the sixth lunar month. It is advisable to start, build and open a house.

Early in the morning, Tian Fei's parents got up to prepare for the noon banquet, and Tian Fei's aunts and aunts also came over early to help.

At less than nine o'clock in the morning, everyone gathered in front of Bald Mountain. A dirt road has been built from Bald Mountain to the village, and the location of the pig farm has been bulldozed. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on this flat land.

Due to the early time, Boss Zou of Hongcheng Dawang Pig Base did not come, but Boss Wu of Zhengda Feed in the county came in person, and the sisters Li Yu and Li Lu also came.

"Boss Tian, congratulations, you will make a fortune in the future. Boss Wu congratulated. Seeing the expansion of Tian Fei's scale, Lao Wu was also very happy, because Tian Fei's premixes were all used in Zhengda.

"Old classmate, congratulations, you will definitely succeed," Li Yu was also happy for Tian Fei.

"Classmate Tian Fei, I'm also here to eat, you don't invite me, and you want my sister to bring it, hum~" Li Lu also joked.

……

At nine o'clock, the groundbreaking ceremony officially began.

The ceremony was presided over by Tian Fei's grandfather, who first grabbed a rooster that had been prepared in advance, and then used a knife to smear the rooster's neck, spilling the blood from the rooster on the place where the door frame was to be erected. After that, he read: "Today, the construction of Tianjia Mountain will start, and I hope that all the gods will take care of it." ”

After speaking, Tian Fei took the hoe and dug a pit at intervals of three meters on the left and right, and then planted two wooden stakes, each with a "Ya" notch at the top of the stake. After the stake was fixed, a bamboo pole wrapped with a red rope was placed on the two notches of the word "ya". There is a red horizontal batch in the middle of the bamboo pole - six animals are prosperous, and there are several copper coins hanging in front of the red paper.

After that, Tian Fei's grandfather paid tribute to chicken, fish, and pork. After all this was done, Tian Fei lit another hung ten thousand rings of earth red.

……

After the ceremony, most of the women went back to Tian Fei's house to help prepare the noon feast, while the men were still at the foot of Bald Mountain.

Tian Fei first told Ping Ping the location and size of the first small pig farm, and then Ping Ping began to take out the tools and start positioning with his apprentices. They prepared a basket of lime powder, and after determining the location, they used lime to mark the route to dig the foundation. Because the pig farm is a one-story tiled house, there is no need to dig a deep foundation, only about 50 centimeters is enough.

After that, Tian Fei didn't stay in Bald Mountain, he still had to entertain guests. Although most of them are relatives and have parents entertaining them, there are also a few guests who fly into the sky.

Tian Fei took Zhengda Boss Wu to walk around, and said that he would raise more pigs in the future, and Boss Wu was very happy to hear it. It is said that as long as the feed is used more, the price can be cheaper. Then he apologized and said that the store was too busy, and he had to go back early and couldn't have lunch in the village. Tian Fei also expressed his understanding and sent him away.

Then there are the Li sisters, they are really happy to come to Tianfei. took the two of them back home from Bald Mountain, and Tian Fei didn't deliberately accompany them, after all, Tian Fei still had a lot of things to do today, so he let them play with the computer in the room.

……

In Tian Fei's house, several aunts and aunts are busy in the back kitchen, but fortunately, Tian Fei's family is not crowded because of the large kitchen for making tofu.

Seeing Tian Fei come in, several elders quipped: "Xiaofei, the two girls are very beautiful, that is a girlfriend?", Tian Fei's mother was also very concerned.

"No, it's just a female classmate, and I happened to be fine at home, so I invited ......," Tian Fei explained.

But everyone didn't believe it, and then asked about the girl's situation. smiled and said that he was going to drink wine or something, Tian Fei couldn't resist it, changed the topic and said that he was going to borrow a table, and took the opportunity to slip away.

Rural banquets are generally held at their own homes, and then they have to go to neighbors and relatives to borrow tables and chopsticks.

There were about six tables at noon, Tian Fei only needed to borrow five tables, the task was not heavy, and in less than 20 minutes, five tables were placed in the hall and courtyard. Including their own tables, there are two in the hall and four in the courtyard, so there is no need for stools.

There are a total of 12 dishes in the banquet, peanuts, fat sausages, stewed chicken with mushrooms, vermicelli meatball soup, stir-fried meat with chili, large pieces of braised pork, braised fish pieces, braised pork knuckles, a bowl of fragrant farmhouse, cold preserved eggs, celery and yellow beef, bacon and dried bamboo shoots.

The elders were quick with their hands and feet, and all the dishes were served at eleven o'clock. It used Tian Fei's father's own sweet potato wine.

"Crackling...", with the sound of firecrackers, the banquet started on time at half past eleven.
