Chapter 196: The Beam Ceremony
What Ye Qingyu thought of was her medical skills.
Saving the dead and helping the injured should be a noble thing, but Ye Qingyu thought that people can't live comfortably, and they can't be noble, so it's more important to take care of your family and yourself!
Her medical skills were the only means by which she could gain status and power.
When she became a famous doctor, or even a miracle doctor, many things did not need her to do, and some people took the initiative to help her solve her troubles in order to see a doctor.
After thinking through these, Ye Qingyu gathered his mind and picked up the needle and thread again to do work, these things have to be done step by step, and the days have to pass day by day.
Don't be in a hurry!
By the time it gets dark, the walls and roof of the adobe house have been completed, and the middle beam has not yet been installed, because the upper beam is a major event, and it is necessary to choose an auspicious day, and to celebrate, and hold a ceremony to raise the beam.
Because the ancient books say that the upper beam is like the crowning of people, it is a very important part, and the time should be selected in the "full moon" and "high tide" hours, so as to take the meaning of family reunion and money pouring in like a tide.
If the birthday of the family is in conflict with the time of the beam, it must also be avoided.
Before the beam, the gods must be sacrificed, and the sacrifices are very rich, and they are also very particular.
Whole pigs, fish, geese, tofu, eggs, salt and soy sauce are selected in five or seven colors, and a wooden red lacquer sacrificial plate is placed at the top of the offering table, and twenty-four bowls of other dishes and twelve pots of fruits from the north and south.
Listening to the uncles discussing the selection of auspicious days, as well as the precautions for the upper beam, etc., Ye Qingyu was stunned when he heard that the sacrifice was for all pigs.
They built a small earthen embryo house, and the other sacrifices are okay to say, is it possible that their family is going to slaughter the pigs in the family?!
However, Ye Qingyu soon knew that he had misunderstood, it turned out that the whole pig referred to the pig's head and tail, not a whole pig.
After discussing for a while, it was finally decided that the auspicious day for the upper beam would be selected half a month later, when the wall was almost dry, which was just right.
As for the offerings, paste couplets, and even sing Liang Ci, banquet guests and other etiquette, that is, everything is simple, just choose an auspicious time, paste a pair, and put on the five-color offerings, that is, fish, tofu, eggs, salt and soy sauce, and invite guests to congratulate and save it.
After all, it was just a small earthen embryo house, and it was not a main house, so it didn't need to be so grand.
After sending away his uncle and others, the family was tired after a busy day's work, Ye Qingyu thought to himself that he should not steam steamed buns at night, but eat rice, after all, it is simple and trouble-free, and there is no need to make effort and noodles.
As for vegetables and meat, there is not much left at home, and the bones and pork belly, large intestines, and fat and lean meat that I bought are all eaten at noon, and there is a little pig's head and pork liver left.
Ye Qingyu took advantage of these, made four stir-fried dishes, and adjusted two cold dishes, which were enough for the family to eat.
Xu Jingnan stayed here for dinner before leaving.
Early the next morning, Ye Qingyu made breakfast as usual, but she didn't send Xiaobao up the mountain again, because there were no herbs she liked outside the mountain, so it was better to stay at home and sew a few more cloth toys to earn more.
Ye Dahe was responsible for sending his son to Xu Jingnan, handed him the food box, said a few more greetings, and left.
Xu Jingnan took the lunch box with some disappointment, turned around and went up the mountain, his face a little tight.
"Master, weren't you happy yesterday?" Xiaobao followed Xu Jingnan up the mountain and asked.
“…… No. Xu Jingnan said, "It's all the same." ”
Xiaobao pouted.
Hmph, he doesn't believe it!
