Chapter 587: Commencement Ceremony
On the sixth day of the first month of June, the old yellow calendar happens to be a good day to break ground and start construction.
Yang Huairen also doesn't know how to read the old yellow calendar, but he thinks that the sixth day of June, this number sounds very festive, and the sixth six days are smooth, and the groundbreaking ceremony is held today, which also indicates that the project can progress smoothly.
Sun Jiangshan, as the eldest leader, led Li Lei, Zheng Rongsui and Wang Laoqi, as well as thousands of craftsmen to gather in Yangjia Zhuangzi two days in advance.
According to them, when they told their craftsmen that they were going to work for Yang Huairen, the prince of Tongyuan County, in the mountains and valleys behind Yang's Zhuangzi, the craftsmen's enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.
Yang Huairen was very happy to hear this, and he didn't have to think about whether these craftsmen really admired his reputation, or because they wanted to eat the food made by Yang Huairen's cook, or simply because of the double salary, as long as the craftsmen were highly motivated, they were worthy of his joy.
Wang Laoqi was also very happy, and his whole appearance had undergone earth-shaking changes, the decadent and ridiculous appearance before had disappeared, and now he had a radiant appearance on his face as if he had been smeared with oil.
The reason is very simple, he took advantage of the past few days to marry Hong'er. didn't hold a wedding banquet, didn't invite guests to watch the ceremony, but the little couple lit red candles and added red tents in their own homes, so they worshiped heaven and earth, even if they became husband and wife.
This time she came to work, and Hong'er also came with her, just to serve her beloved man anytime and anywhere.
Hong'er was originally listening to the nickname of Yulou, and now she can't be called that, and when she meets again, Hong'er should be called the seventh sister-in-law.
In order to distinguish the lady of Xiao Qi with a big belly, Yang Huairen had to call Wang Laoqi's wife Lao Qi's sister-in-law, and Xiao Qi's wife called Xiao Qi's sister-in-law.
In fact, these two titles are not very pleasing, the old seventh sister-in-law is easy to call people old, and the little seventh sister-in-law is easy for people to hear and think that you are stingy.
Fortunately, these two sisters-in-law are very open-minded and don't care about these.
There is also the purpose of coming early, they first studied the engineering drawings with the two chief designers Roushi and Mr. Lishui, where there are opinions, they will speak out and discuss with each other, and both sides also know what to do.
As soon as the auspicious time came, Sun Jiangshan began to command his subordinates to kill pigs and sheep and worship their ancestors and lost sons.
The male loser is the public loser, and we are used to calling him Luban. Yang Huairen didn't know this knowledge before, it was told to him by Zhao Hao and Zhao Ji.
Yes, Zhao Hao and Zhao Ji also came to join in the fun, and it is said that they also brought Zhao Xu's verbal congratulations, congratulating the official start of the Culinary Academy, and saying that when the academy is completed, Zhao Xu will personally inscribe it.
Zhao Yu and Zhao Ji are not simply here to join in the fun, or to convey the official family's message, or to pass the boring time.
Several vegetables grown in their imperial village began to bear fruit, and they liked it in their hearts, but they were anxious and didn't know how Yang Huairen was going to sell it.
According to the original agreement, Zhao Hao and Zhao Ji are only in charge of planting, and Yang Huairen has the final say in selling vegetables, and the final profit is three or seven, and they are three, and Yang Huairen is seven.
So Yang Huairen didn't want to pay attention to them. In his words, "What about telling you? Are you afraid that I will shorten your share? ”
The two princes thought that the county prince was deflated here, and they didn't get angry, let alone turn their faces and lose their temper, but looked like Sven, and said some sour things like scholars and scum.
It's nothing more than something interesting that has happened in Tokyo recently, and Yang Huairen missed something like that, such as the Keju tournament held every year in the capital has begun.
Isn't it football, Yang Huairen was also a fan in his previous life, he has seen a lot, both domestic and foreign, really speaking of technology and tactics, Yang Huairen feels that he is at least better than Zhao Hao and Zhao Ji.
The Keju, Jiao and Ye Zi operas of the Northern Song Dynasty were the most popular folk hobbies at that time, and they were not much different from modern times, not football, fighting and mahjong.
Speaking of which, Yang Huairen felt that it was a pity for the Northern Song Dynasty, if he had invited all countries from the world to come to the Great Song Dynasty to play Keju and hold a football match similar to the World Cup, the dream of winning the National Football World Cup might have been realized a thousand years in advance.
Yang Huairen is a native of Qizhou, not far from Linzi, the birthplace of football, and naturally knows that Keju in this year, although it is a competitive event, but at that time, the gameplay and rules seemed to be more ornamental, and the degree of attention was slightly higher than "skill".
Seeing that Yang Huairen didn't seem to be interested, Zhao Hao and Zhao Ji looked at each other, and wondered if Yang Huairen was a normal person, men don't like juju, and they don't like horns, let alone play leaf plays, which is very rare these days.
What Yang Huairen thought in his heart was that Lao Tzu had been on the battlefield with real knives and guns, and he had also stoned Hu people to death, and Jiao Jie was a pediatric for Lao Tzu.
And football and mahjong, Lao Tzu doesn't know how to play, he really wants to play, you two will find ten or eight of you, and you are not a child in the eyes of Lao Tzu.
Zhao Hao and Zhao Ji are out of line, today they are also the Yang family Zhuangzi who came from Weifu, and they are definitely not the protagonists, so it is better to sit honestly and watch others Bailuban, waiting for something delicious at noon.
Yang Huairen didn't understand the ritual at the ceremony, although he felt that these forms were very cumbersome, but he still respected such a tradition in his heart, although he felt bored, but he did not despise the faith of the craftsmen.
There weren't many things he had to do during the whole ceremony, and many things were handled by his own stewards for him, but at the end of the day, as the owner who hired these craftsmen, he naturally had to come forward to pay his respects.
Worshipping the lost son is a sign of respect for the sages, gratitude to the craftsmen, gratitude for their future labor, and a kind of respect.
In fact, the whole ceremony lasted for more than half an hour, but Yang Huairen felt that time was still passing too slowly.
When the whole ceremony was over, Yang Huairen thought that he would set up a banquet to celebrate, and then start work in the coming day, but unexpectedly, after worshipping the lost son, the old grandson spoke, and the craftsman team gathered and marched to the back mountain, and started work directly today.
People worked for him so enthusiastically, and Yang Huairen couldn't stop him, so he had to tell the cooks in the house to hurry up and start cooking, so as not to delay people's meals.
It is definitely not enough for the chefs in the house to cook for more than 1,000 people, but the old Li Tou in the Zhuangzi has already thought of these things in advance for Yang Huairen, the proprietor, and summoned the women in the Zhuangzi to join in the cooking work.
The brides who have just married the inner guards are not idle, and there are some skills in the workshop that they have not learned for a while, but most of them are also from the village family, and cooking is still no problem, so they also voluntarily joined in.
