The rising sun is gentle and indifferent, and the golden sunlight pours on the small mirror lake, which is not alarming, and there are layers of waves. A few waterfowl skim gently near the surface of the water, occasionally swooping down and picking up a small fish from the surface of the lake, causing ripples.

On the sand by the lake, various vegetables planted by the villagers some time ago have begun to grow and sprout, and green has begun to dot the pale yellow sand, becoming the hope of the villagers.

A large group of people gathered here on the high ground hundreds of meters away from the shore, and the pig farm held a beam ceremony today. The Zhang family is a big family, and now that Zhang Zhenguang opened a pig farm, relatives and friends naturally want to rush to help and watch the ceremony.

In the countryside, to see if the family is popular, when you look at his errands, you can see how many villages are cooking to help. In addition to the construction workers on the upper beam of the Zhang family's pig farm, there are also relatives and friends of the little 100, and those villagers and children who come to join in the fun. It can be seen that the Zhang family's connections in Liang Village are not bad.

According to the progress of the previous project, the main project of the pig farm has already been completed, and it can be completed by waiting for the girder and tiles to be laid. It's just that Zhang Zhenguang listened to the guidance of Luli Daxian and chose to set the name of Shangliang today, and the project was postponed for half a month. For this reason, the Zhang family also gave Feng Jian some expenses as compensation for the delay.

Regarding Zhang Zhenguang's choice, the two families basically had no objections, although Liu Rui was a little puzzled, but he still wisely did not say anything against it.

According to traditional customs, it is best to choose to carry out the beam on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, taking its meaning of "family reunion" to set a good tone for the future fortune of the new house. For this reason, it is not until today that the pig farm has welcomed a large number of relatives and friends to hold this grand beam ceremony.

In the countryside, there are two important ceremonies for raising a house, one is to lower the foundation, and the other is to go up the beams, so Zhang Zhenguang specially organized this grand ceremony.

In the courtyard in the center of the pig farm, a huge table of eight immortals was filled with various offerings, which made Liu Rui dazzled.

A large half-steamed pig's head, plus a pig's tail, represents the meaning of 'whole pig', after all, it is not easy to put a whole pig on the table during the sacrifice. In addition, the whole chicken, duck and fish are placed on a wooden tray, which is very eye-catching. In addition, there are twenty-four plates of various dishes and 12 plates of fruits from the north and south, which are also full of eight immortals on the table.

What attracted the most attention of the surrounding dolls was the bamboo basket of candies and biscuits on the side of the Eight Immortals table, which were distributed to the guests after the ceremony, and the little babies were looking forward to this.

In the past two days, Liu Rui has been busy preparing various offerings under the guidance of Zhang Zhenguang, as well as preparing raw materials for today's banquet, and he is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground. Early this morning, he came to the pig farm at six o'clock to make all kinds of preparations before the sacrifice.

Now, as the auspicious time is approaching, the number of relatives and friends who participate in the Shangliang ceremony is gradually increasing, and the pig farm is tightly enclosed.

Luli Daxian put on his gorgeous robe again, and danced in front of the offering table to invite and worship the gods, and there were words in his mouth. I heard that he was reciting 'Shangliang Wenshu', in which the auspicious and beautiful words are wishing that the house will bring wealth and happiness to the owner after completion, and so on.

Finally, when Luli Daxian finished dancing the dance of the gods, it was the turn of the carpenter master to do it. While singing the song of Shangliang, the master holds a wine jug and pours it from the head of the beam to the end of the beam, this procedure is called pouring the beam.

After that, Zhang Zhenguang sent red envelopes to the masters of Shangliang on behalf of the master, and the amount of money in these red envelopes has certain rules, thirty-six or seventy-two yuan, and as for the master who leads the team, he can get 108 yuan.

Immediately afterwards, after 'worshipping the beam' and 'dotting the beam eye', a dragon and a tiger's relatives and friends slowly raised the beam in the way of the left green dragon and the right white tiger, and finally fixed it firmly on the column head under the auspices of Master Damu. At the same time, Liu Rui lit a hundred thousand rings that had been prepared for a long time, and it was suddenly deafening and smoky.

At this point, the complicated ceremony of the beam finally came to an end, and the biscuits and candies in the bamboo basket naturally began to be scattered to the relatives and friends who attended the ceremony.

In Liu Rui's memory, it was a very happy thing to be able to meet relatives when he was a child, because he could grab a lot of candy and share it with his younger brothers and sisters. That sweet taste still makes Liu Rui unforgettable, and now seeing other little radish heads frolicking, Liu Rui is a little lamented by the passage of time.

Compared with the more cumbersome procedures before, the ceremony of raising the beam is now simpler, but it still has a strong traditional atmosphere, which makes Liu Rui look at it with relish.

In fact, when the beam is put on, whether it is the order of procedure, the preparation of offerings, or the selection of good days and auspicious times, there are quite detailed rules, which are not all clear to those elderly people who have lived in the countryside for decades. The girder should be painted red, the paper for writing couplets should be green or yellow, the people who are born and the time of the beam are not allowed to watch the ceremony, and all kinds of bad luck people can not participate,......, raising the girder is a very cumbersome system project.

After the beams of the main house were erected, the rest of the work on the pig farm could be carried out smoothly, and in just two days, the roofs of all the houses had been laid with purlins and lookout boards, and they were just waiting to be tiled on them.

At first, Feng Jian considered using asbestos tiles to cover the roof of the pig farm, and to be honest, the asbestos tiles were quite simple to build and maintain, and the cost was very small. However, Liu Rui is worried that asbestos tiles emit some chemical components that are not conducive to the growth of piglets under the strong sun, so he suggested using traditional green tiles.

In the past, there was a tile kiln near Qingyun to produce tiles, but in recent years, most of the houses built by the villagers have been made of reinforced concrete, and they have said goodbye to tiles. Tile kilns without a market have long been dilapidated and landfilled, and it is really not easy to buy new tiles now.

In order to find enough tiles, Feng Jian traveled all over Liang Village, only to buy tens of thousands of tiles from some villagers who had demolished their houses, and finally met the needs of the pig farm.

The project of the pig farm is proceeding smoothly, and several biogas digesters have already completed various processes under the supervision of Chang Ping, and began to add fermentation raw materials to them, ready to be put into use. In rural areas, there are too many raw materials suitable for biogas fermentation, especially in the recent autumn harvest, and the straw scattered all over the grain field is the best raw material for fermentation.

According to the requirements of the technical description, Liu Rui put livestock manure, straw, lake bottom sludge and some nitrogen fertilizer into the biogas digester as nutrients for microorganisms, and then injected water into it, sealed and waited for microbial fermentation to finally produce biogas.

The more he came into contact with the construction and management of biogas digesters, Liu Rui also felt that this technology was very practical for rural areas, and perhaps its emergence could change some living conditions in Liangcun.

The Qingshan area does not produce coal, so the villagers are accustomed to chopping firewood from the mountains to cook and cook, and there is great ecological pressure on the mountains near Xiaoqingshan every year. Walking in from Liang Village, almost every household will have high stacks of firewood stacked in their yards, and they rely on these firewood for cooking every day.

Not only does this firewood cause great damage to the environment, but it also becomes a place of dirt and dirt, often breeding for a large number of mosquitoes and rats to nest in it. Liu Rui's family has a pile of firewood near the winery, and the daily consumption is not small, after all, winemaking requires a lot of fuel.

If the biogas digester can be promoted, if nothing else, it will be a great achievement to be able to meet the needs of the villagers for cooking.

In this way, the villagers do not have to go up the mountain to cut firewood, saving time and protecting the environment, and the straw that is discarded by the villagers everywhere has a better way to use, saving energy and protecting the environment.

………… After counting the various benefits of the biogas digester in the data, Liu Rui felt that it was necessary for this biogas digester to be promoted through the village committee.

However, before that, Liu Rui had to make sure that his digester was working well and that he could show the benefits of biogas before he could convince other villagers to follow suit. Therefore, in the past two days, Liu Rui has been looking at various technical materials, from the fermentation principle of biogas, the use of biogas and the specific application of biogas slurry in agricultural production, all of which have become his research objects.

After a few days, he has become half a biogas expert, and most of the villagers who come to ask him can get relevant information from him, and his feelings about the biogas digester are not as mysterious as before.

After the autumn harvest, Liu Rui took the bamboo strips back from Xiaojing Lake and began to build shelves on the seedbed in the tomato field. These bamboo strips have certain specifications, and Liu Rui can build a bamboo frame about 1.2 meters high as long as they are inserted into the soil according to a certain position and the upper end is firmly tied with a rope.

Building a shelf is a fairly simple job, and the next activity is for Liu Rui's family of three to spend a lot of time on it, and it will be gradually completed after several days. In order to prevent the branches of the tomatoes from being crushed by the fruits, Liu Rui could only use a rope to tie the branches of the tomato seedlings to the bamboo frame, and each tomato seedling had dozens of branches, and the movements had to be delicate and gentle, which made Liu Rui a little cross-eyed.

But fortunately, after the family worked hard for a while, a neat bamboo frame had been set up in the tomato field, and the tomato branches that had grown arbitrarily began to be pruned and orderly. The whole tomato field looks like an alternative agricultural factory, and once it is ripe, it can produce a large number of small tomatoes like an assembly line.

In less than a month, the pig farm has begun to enter the decoration link, the next biogas digester has also begun to ferment and produce gas, and the bamboo frame in the field has also been built.

Winter is the season of hibernation, but it is also the season of beginning to give birth to the future!
