When I got home, my mother Zhang Yuehong had already woken up the cake noodles, washed the vegetables and meat, and waited for Li Yi to come back and make it.

Seeing that her son came back with a few female intellectuals, Zhang Yuehong hurriedly beckoned everyone into the house.

And Tang Xue, Sun Lu and the others also knew what they were here for, so they immediately got busy after entering the door.

Yesterday, Li Yi bought ten catties of meat, and he planned to use half of it for stir-frying and half for stewing.

The meat of stir-fried vegetables is cut into thin slices, and the meat of stewed vegetables is cut into triangular pieces.

After cutting the meat, Tang Xue and the others had already peeled the potatoes, and the other side dishes were almost ready.

Li Yi immediately started to stew, after all, compared to stir-frying, stewing takes the longest time.

Heat the oil, stir-fry the meat, and put the oil inside? Take out a part, then add green onions, ginger, garlic and dried chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant, and continue to stir-fry the potatoes.

Finally, add water and simmer over low heat.

As for side dishes such as cabbage, tofu and vermicelli, they are all in order, and the time of cooking is different depending on the ingredients.

When the stewed vegetables were boiling, on the makeshift simple stove, my mother had already taken Zhang Xinyao and Feng Qian to start frying the fried cakes.

This deep-fried cake is a local specialty of Saibei and is made from millet noodles.

Those that have not been fried are called vegetarian cakes, and those that have been fried are called fried cakes.

This thing is generally eaten during the festival or when the family has a happy event, mainly because it costs too much oil, and most people really can't afford it.

Originally, my mother meant that it was just a beam, and the staple food was steamed buns.

After all, there will be a happy event at home in a while, and it is not too late to eat fried cakes at that time.

But Li Yi disagreed, building a house with beams is also a happy event, how can you be fooled!

Anyway, for him, a fried cake is really nothing, and he can't eat it poorly.

After settling the stew and cutting the other side dishes, Li Yi rode his bicycle to the new house.

Shangliang is such a "big event", how can he, the master, not be on the scene!

When Li Yi came to the new house, the masters were ready to go to the beam, all the purlins were all processed, and they were waiting for the house.

On the one hand, the reason why people attach importance to Shangliang is that building a house is a big deal in the countryside, not only may it cost a generation of life savings, but also several generations will live after the house is built.

Therefore, rural people pay attention to many details when building a house.

Secondly, because the process of "upper beam" is not only more dangerous, but also the "oblique and positive" of the house beam is also related to the quality of the house, because the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked!

Therefore, many people attach great importance to the link of "Shangliang".

The days when the Li family went to the beam were specially selected by the old gentleman, in order to be auspicious.

And the old gentleman also said that today's day can avoid Tai Sui and other evils, which is an auspicious day.

Not only that, but the time of "Shangliang" is also set at noon.

Because the old gentleman said that when it is almost noon, the yang energy is in full bloom, and the yin energy is completely gone, which is an auspicious time.

After seeing Li Yi coming, Master Zhao, who presided over Shangliang, immediately asked him to come over to "hang the lottery".

The so-called "hanging color", that is, before the "upper beam", wrap a piece of red cloth in the middle of the beam, and paste the red paper with auspicious words such as "Shangliang Daji" and "Qinglong Fuyu Pillar, White Tiger Frame Golden Beam" at both ends of the beam to show auspiciousness.

After the "hanging color" is completed, it is the sacrifice beam, that is, before the official beam, the main family also needs to hold a sacrifice ceremony.

At the time of the "sacrifice beam", it is necessary to prepare three plates of fruits, put flowers, carpenter's ink fountain and ruler, and then light incense candles and paper money to worship.

During the worship, after Master Zhao lit the incense candles, he said with words in his mouth: "Today's "sacrifice beam", the heaven and earth are open, the wealth is abundant, and the people are strong and strong. The golden boy and the girl, help to go up, successfully capped, gathered in Huatang. Finally, firecrackers are lit to ward off the "evil spirits". ”

Once everything is ready, it's time to start putting on the beam!

And this is also exquisite, it is necessary to select eight young people with both parents and good characters to climb the wall to "pull the beam"; If the parents are not sound or the young man is not good, he is not allowed to "pull the beam".

When the "beam" is started, the carpenter will chant aloud the poem "There is a golden rooster crowing, there is a phoenix coming, everyone work hard, and the hall is covered".

After the roof beam is pulled up to the ridge, the position needs to be proofread, and this proofreading process is commonly known as "stabilizing the beam".

When "stabilizing the beam", it is also necessary to consider the "left green dragon, right white tiger", and the left beam head is appropriately raised, and the right beam head is appropriately lowered.

After the beam is ready, the last step is to "throw the beam", which means to throw sorghum.

Chef Zhao stood on top of the beam and threw sorghum mixed with candy, peanuts and colored paper from the air.

At the same time, the firecrackers that had been prepared on the construction site outside the new house were also ignited, and in the crackling atmosphere, the beam work was finally completed.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Li Yi immediately beckoned his father and other workers to pack up and go home for lunch, while he rode his bicycle first.

When she returned home, her mother immediately inquired about the situation of the beam.

Li Yi also patiently explained the situation one by one, and when she learned that everything was going well, her mother was also very happy.

The most feared thing about Shangliang is that there will be an accident, after all, such a heavy solid wood purlin, if it falls from above and hits someone, it will really kill people.

Even if you don't kill someone, it's not a good sign!

Rural people still attach great importance to this, and they are naturally very happy to hear that everything is going well.

And Li Yi originally didn't care about this, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods.

But after experiencing the matter of rebirth, he didn't know why, and he was even jealous.

After all, even such a thing as rebirth can be encountered, and what else is impossible.

Good news, good signs!

I'm in a good mood and I'm quick to work.

Before the workers and masters came back, Li Yi began to take charge of the stir-fry!

Zhang Xinyao, Feng Qian, Sun Lu, Zhong Na and others saw Li Yi stir-fry for the first time, and saw him skillfully operate the spatula in his hand, and then the plate of dishes with full color and fragrance was freshly cooked.

Everyone looked at Tang Xue with envy!

Originally, after the two of them rolled the sheets and were blocked on the kang, they all felt sorry for Tang Xue, and they all felt that a good girl was given to Huo Huo by Li Yi, a second-rate son.

Even if the Li family later agreed to marry Tang Xue, no one was optimistic about them, because Li Yi was really not a good match.

But looking back now, they were a little envious of Tang Xue.

Since the relationship was confirmed, Li Yi is like a different person, not only does he know how to make money, but even his previous violent personality has been much more restrained.

And even more so to Tang Xue, all kinds of delicious and useful things in the dormitory alone filled the entire cabinet, and everything made them envious.

Now he can even cook, he is a perfect good man!

But envy is envy, but they are not jealous.

They all know Tang Xue's character, and a kind girl like her should be treated well.

Therefore, everyone is happy for Tang Xue to find a good home!
