112, Shangliang (March 10)
What does this mean? The beauty is not happy to see him?
"Hmph" Su Rui is not happy anymore, you are not happy, I am not happy yet.
Lunch made yesterday's pig offal and pig blood into a big pot of pork offal soup, and everyone had a big bowl of white flour steamed buns, and the one who ate it was called a pleasure.
After lunch, Su Changle and Su Changying set up two zero-hour stoves in the yard and moved two large iron pots from home.
In the evening, all the relatives of the clan dragged their families with their families, brought tables, chairs and benches from their homes, and carried baskets containing their own family's dishes and chopsticks, and came to eat.
Walking into the courtyard of the new house, everyone finds an open space by themselves, sets up tables and chairs, and is not afraid if there is no open space, and it is the same when they are placed outside the yard.
The men found acquaintances, friends, brothers, sat down, chatted, and the women helped pass the dishes and chopsticks.
In ancient times, there was a custom in rural dining banquets, which was to bring their own bowls and chopsticks, one person had a pair of chopsticks, two bowls, one for eating by himself, and the other for loading vegetables.
It happens that there are eight people seated at a table and eight dishes, so eight bowls are just right.
After the woman set up her own dishes and chopsticks, she also sat down with her acquaintances and chatted.
At this time, the patriarch, the village chief, and the elders such as Lijia also came, although Su Chenrui said that although he was young, as the eldest son in the family, he still had the responsibility to greet the elders.
hurriedly stepped forward and walked towards the main table with a few people, "Patriarch, village chief, uncles and grandfathers, please take a seat." ”
At this time, Uncle Su, Uncle Su and Su Chenming were also sitting at the main table, and the patriarch Su Zheng was standing aside, and he didn't see them give up his seat, seeing that his eyebrows were furrowed together, he looked at Old Man Su.
"That's how you educate your children and grandchildren? Are there any rules? ”
Old Man Su's face turned white and white in an instant, glared at Uncle Su and the others, and scolded angrily, "Can you sit at the main table?" Don't get out of here? ”
Uncle Su sat down at the next table with a sneering face.
When the table is full, it is time to prepare the food, and the person who serves the food takes the bowl from the table.
Don't worry about the wrong bowl, the bowl bought by the farmer is the same size, but the color will occasionally be a little different.
Bowls of vegetables were served, and there were two large buckets of cooked rice porridge and enough steamed buns in the courtyard for the clan to eat.
For the people in the village, the most important thing in life in addition to marrying a wife and having children is the day when a new house is built, although this house was not built by him, but it was built by his granddaughter, and it will be given to the people of his old Su family in the future, and it is still his credit.
Looking at the more than twenty neat brick houses, Old Man Su was full of pride in his heart, and looking at the envious eyes of the people in the village, his vanity was greatly satisfied.
"Today is a good day, it is the day of the new house of my second room, I will first for the juniors, thank you for your neighbors, uncles and brothers and sisters, relatives and friends, come to participate in the beam ceremony."
"The auspicious time has arrived, and now please watch the ceremony."
The main family should prepare candy, glutinous rice balls, fruits, and a pair of 10,000-character cakes in advance, which are actually cakes with peanut and sesame fillings, covered with a "10,000" character chapter, put everything into a bamboo basket, and tie a long rope at each end of the middle beam, so that the workers can hold the rope to lift the beam column when the beam is up.
At the beginning of "Shangliang", Su Changying set off firecrackers, Chen Cai was in the east, and Su Changle carried a rope to climb the ladder in the west.
The fairy peach is picked in the flower basket, and the blue shirt is changed to a purple robe. ”
Chen Cai and Su Changle climbed to the top of the ladder, pulled the rope and slowly lifted the "middle beam", and then used a large "wooden hammer" to firmly place the middle beam on the column head that had already been made, and then hung the "wooden hammer" on the long base below the middle beam. Chen Cai picked up the bamboo basket containing candy and other items again, grabbed the contents of the basket and threw it to the main family (Su Chenrui), and sang at the same time:
"The auspicious day of the zodiac is opened, and the eight gods send treasures;
I asked where this treasure would be sent to the door of your house.
The main family received the first treasure, and it was not necessary to buy land and land.
The main family received two treasures, and the children and grandchildren were many and early.
The main family received three treasures, and they had plenty of food and clothing every year.
Next, grab the candy "wooden hammer", 10,000-character cake, glutinous rice ball and throw a few pieces on the beam, and throw the rest into the crowd, singing while throwing:
"The hand is as white as frost, and the east beam is sprinkled on the west beam;
Sprinkle on the beam to give birth to a noble son, and sprinkle the son on the beam tail to produce the champion.
The old man picked up Tian Fushou, and the young man picked up Tian Erlang;
The man picked up the strong as the ox, and the woman picked up the peony. ”
After scattering for a while, there was not much left in the bamboo basket, and Chen left it to himself, and he also sang:
"Warehouses and warehouses, children and grandchildren are full, six animals are prosperous, and rice is full;
I came down the stairs, and all the craftsmen of the master family were rich. ”
Su Rui looked at the fruit and snacks, and the children who were happy to grab them smiled, because the fruits and snacks prepared by the upper beam were the best, and when Chen just threw them, the children were very excited, and then grabbed them, and stuffed them into their clothes, and if they put them in their hands, they would be snatched away by other children.
Next is to worship heaven and earth, Su Chenrui led Su Chennan, led the four Su Rui sisters, and under the guidance of Chen Cai, knelt down and kowtowed three heads in front of the "pig head", "pig tail", "whole chicken" and "whole fish" table placed by Su Qiao.
Su Rui screamed in her heart, she hadn't kowtowed to her parents, but now she kowtowed to these things......
At this point, the upper beam is over, and then it is time to feast the guests.
Su Rui pushed Su Chenrui, Su Chenrui reacted, hurriedly picked up a teacup, and shouted at everyone.
"Grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters, I am here to replace wine with tea, thank you for your appreciation, and be willing to take the time to watch my family's Shangliang ceremony, I hope you can eat and drink well."
After speaking, Su Chenrui finished drinking the tea in the cup.
Su Zheng raised his head and applauded, and when the others saw this, they also applauded, and the applause continued for a while.
"Chenrui boy, that's good."
Su Zheng said to Su Changsheng with satisfaction, Su Changsheng glanced back at Su Rui, and thought, "Su Rui is really good." ”
Su Chenrui is still young, and no one will toast him, so everyone toasts Old Man Su, "Uncle, congratulations." ”
"Uncle, your grandson, granddaughter is good."
All the people who came to congratulate came with wine, and Old Man Su picked up the wine bowl with a smile, and those who came did not refuse, and anyone who came would take a sip.
At this time, no one in Sujia Village had a wine glass, and everyone used a coarse porcelain bowl as a container for drinking, and a large coarse porcelain bowl could hold half a catty of wine.
And wine is made of grain, in ancient times when the average yield per mu was low, wine is a precious existence, so although Sujia Village has the custom of drinking a lot, but no one will really persuade people to drink.
In fact, there is no need to persuade to drink at all, first, there are many people today, come to a sip, and the amount adds up to a lot, and secondly, everyone usually has no chance to get together, so there is no number of drinks, and third, there is usually no opportunity to eat meat and drink a lot of money, so for a while, everyone drinks too much.
