106. Preparation for the upper beam (the sixth day of the first month of March)
"Rui girl, are you there?"
Su Rui looked at Su Ying, and Su Ying said, "It's the eldest aunt, she went to the county seat with Sister Yi'er when the eldest sister was unconscious." ”
Su Rui nodded and shouted, "Auntie come in directly, the courtyard door is unlocked." ”
Wang stepped into a small basket and walked in, looked at Su Rui's face carefully for a moment, and saw that everything was normal, before he put his heart down and smiled.
"Looking at the face, it is indeed a lot ruddy."
"Thank you for your concern, what is the matter with your aunt coming at this time?"
Wang waved his hand and put the basket on the table in front of Su Rui, "It's nothing, this hen at home has laid eggs, I'll bring you a few, you can make up for it." ”
Su Rui shook her head and refused, "Auntie, I'm already fine, you can take it back and give it to Sister Ya'er, Brother Chencai and Brother Chenwen to make up for your body." ”
How could Suri ask for her eggs? The only hen in her family was brought back by Su Yi, and a few eggs had to be saved for several days.
Wang Shi took it all, how could he take it back again, "No, no." This is for you. Ya'er, Chencai, Chenwen has it, you don't have to worry about it. ”
“…………… That's fine. ”
Su Rui saw that she couldn't refuse, so she asked Su Ying to take some snacks from home to the Wang family to bring back as a return gift.
"Eldest sister, eldest aunt has become smiling now."
Su Rui looked at the Wang family who walked out of the courtyard gate, "There is hope in my heart, I must have more smiles."
Su Qiao boiled the applesauce before making lunch, Su Rui thought that she had been in a coma for a few days, Su Qiao hadn't made applesauce and red bean sauce for a few days, and of course there was no apple pie and red bean pie in the shop.
"Qiao'er, Ying'er, how about you say that I hired my aunt to help us cook beans and applesauce every day?"
Su Ying nodded, she still likes her current cousins and aunts.
Su Qiao doesn't care, the eldest sister can say anything.
After lunch, the workers continued to build the house, while Chen Cai stayed.
Su Rui motioned for Chen Cai to sit down, "Uncle Chen Cai, sit down, and say anything directly." ”
Chen Cai nodded and sat down and said: "The house is almost the same in the past two days, I checked that the day of the tenth day of the new year is good, it is a day suitable for everything, and the time is set for the evening." ”
Su Rui nodded, she had a fever and was in a coma for ten days, and she recuperated for a few days, the daily needs of the house were Meng Mingzhou, and the food was Su Qiao, and she didn't care about anything.
"Okay, please tell me what I need for the day, I'll be ready to come out in the next two days."
Chen Cai nodded, "In this way, I said, you take a note on paper." ”
When Meng Mingxu heard that he was going to take paper notes, he immediately ran back to his side and took it out.
"Uncle Chen Cai, you say, I'll write it." Meng Mingxu spread the paper on the dining table in the hall.
"Well, first of all, the main thing is a main beam, which is generally pine, and the price ranges from a few hundred to two or three taels."
Su Rui nodded: "What about the better ones?" ”
Chen Cai smiled, he knew that Su Rui would definitely ask for a better one, "The better one is Nanmu, but this one is more expensive, the lowest one of ordinary Nanmu costs three or four taels of silver, and the expensive one is forty or fifty taels, of course, there are better golden silk Nanmu, this price is even higher, and ordinary people can't buy it." ”
Su Rui knew that even if she wanted to buy the best, she couldn't buy it, but the bad one couldn't be bought, after all, in a house, "beam" is the most important part, so let's pick a similar one.
"You look at the help to pick a nanmu, and the price will be about ten taels, right?" After Su Rui finished speaking, she took out ten taels of silver from her purse and gave it to him.
Chen Cai nodded and took the silver, and continued, "You need a pig's head and a pig's tail." ”
Su Rui didn't understand, "Why do you want a pig's head and a pig's tail?" ”
Chen Cai smiled and explained, "Before the beam, the gods must be sacrificed, and the sacrifices are" whole pig "that is, a pig head and a pig tail, which means a whole pig, commonly known as "Li City". ”
Su Ying asked curiously, "Isn't it better to have a whole pig?" ”
Chen Cai".................. Of course, it is better to have a whole pig, but not everyone has the money to buy a whole pig, and most of them can't even afford the head and tail of the pig. ”
Su Rui knew that the Wang family did not have a pig's head on the beam, and there was no time to pick.
"Uncle Chen Cai, what else? What do I need to prepare? ”
"Well, yellow paper, you don't need to say that you know about incense candles, right?"
Su Rui nodded, and Meng Mingxu wrote on the side of the paper.
Chen Cai thought about it and said: "Fish, goose, tofu, eggs, salt and soy sauce are five or seven colors, and a wooden red lacquer sacrificial plate is placed at the top of the offering table, and there are 24 bowls of other dishes and 12 plates of fruits from the north and south."
Su Rui withdrew her hand to serve tea, thinking that in modern times, these twenty-four bowls of vegetables and twelve plates of fruit are not a problem, but ...... In this place where transportation is not developed, where is Su Rui looking for so many fruits? Even her space is only apples, oranges and watermelons.
Chen Cai saw Su Rui's embarrassed expression and comforted: "Actually, most people can't get together this dish and fruit, so they usually take a nice double number, such as eight bowls of dishes and six plates of fruits, and this fruit is not all fresh fruits, such as red dates, longan, peanuts, and melon seeds." ”
Su Rui put her mind at ease, if that's the case, then she's fine.
Meng Mingxu wrote down the dry goods of fresh fruits that could be substituted on the side.
"The others are the steamed buns and candy peanuts that will be sprinkled on the day of Shangliang, and this is up to the master to prepare at will."
Su Rui nodded and motioned for Mingxu to write it down.
"There's also something to prepare for Nuan Liang."
Chen Cai told Nuan Liang what he needed to prepare, and when he saw Meng Mingxu write them down one by one, he said goodbye.
"Okay, if you have any questions in the past two days, come to me at any time, I will go to the county seat now and see Liang."
Su Rui: "You are walking too slowly, Uncle Chang Ying is at home today, you asked him to drive the donkey cart to accompany you to have a look, and increase your knowledge." ”
Chen Cai didn't refuse, "Okay, then I'll go find him now." ”
Su Rui sent Chen out of the courtyard and nodded with a smile.
"Okay, Uncle Chen Cai is not in a hurry, Liang Mu chooses slowly, there are still a few days, it's too late. If you are not satisfied, you can also come to me. ”
Chen Cai smiled, he really didn't have anything to dissatisfaction with, he had a really good life recently, although he was busy every day, but because he had meat steamed buns or rice at noon, he didn't lose weight, but gained a few pounds.
At dinner, when the family was reunited, Su Rui told Su Chenrui that he was going to Liang on the tenth day of the junior high school, and asked him to ask Mr. Private School in advance for the ninth and tenth days of the junior high school.
Su Chenrui: "Sister, don't worry, I'll tell my husband tomorrow." ”
Su Rui nodded, she really didn't have anything to worry about Su Chenrui.
"By the way, on the tenth day of the first month, Shangliang will prepare eight bowls of dishes and put them on the table, what should you prepare for these eight bowls of dishes, Qiao'er, think about it in the past two days."
Su Qiao, "Eldest sister, I'll think about it." ”
