Chapter 31: Upper Beam
In this era, Shangliang is a big day. Just like the foundation, you have to worship your ancestors, the gods of the land, or something. If the conditions at home are good, you should set up a few tables and invite people to come and have a lively time. When the foundation was laid, Jiang Yu'er and his family simply paid homage to the land god, the ancestors or something. This time, Jiang Erzhu said that it was not easy to build a house, and he had to be lively when he said anything. It's not bad for the money anyway.
Jiang Amao listened, and felt that what the second uncle said was reasonable, so he agreed with his statement.
Jiang Yu'er listened and agreed. Nodding his head, he happily accepted it.
The second uncle, Jiang Erzhu, found the gentleman in the village who watched feng shui and chose a date. It was selected on the twenty-sixth day of the winter month, and the twenty-fourth Zhiyun Town rushed to the market. Jiang Yu'er followed her brother and second aunt to buy a lot of things, planning to use them for sacrifice on the twenty-sixth day. There are also dishes for treats.
Looking at the large number of things she bought, Jiang Yuer had a headache. These things have to wait for the second master of the village to help pull them back. After thinking about it, she said to her second aunt and brother: "Auntie, brother! Let's buy an ox cart for our own family! This cow is raised, and the next year it will plough the land or something. When you go to town, you don't have to wait for the ox cart of the second master's family. ”
Jiang Amao thought about it, and his family was not short of that money, so he nodded and agreed. And Roche disagreed: "Niuniu, our family has some money in our hands now, but this oxcart ...... "Where did your family get the food to feed?"
"Second aunt, don't worry." Jiang Yu'er interrupted her words, stretched out her hand and pulled her and said, "You want to say, our family bought cattle and had no food to feed, right?" However, you have forgotten that although we have no food, this cow is fed with grass. Why can't we just buy back their straw from the villagers and feed the cows? ”
When Roche heard this, he was also stunned for a moment. She really thinks too much, she has no food, she can feed grass! This cow is mainly grass, so why should he waste so much grain? Of course, what Roche, who has never raised cattle, doesn't know is that cattle still have to eat a little grain every day, otherwise where will they get the strength?
It's just that Jiang Yu'er doesn't plan to tell Roche about this. You must know that their family has not planted land for many years, and the food they eat is either given by the village or the second uncle's family, or the elder brother goes to the town to run the hall to buy it. In the eyes of others, these grains are not enough for their own household chewing. Where is there still a place to feed livestock.
However, Jiang Yu'er doesn't care about this. Now that their family has money, they can buy some grain for cattle, and that's fine.
Luo listened to Jiang Yu'er's words and felt that she was right. I didn't worry about anything. Jiang Amao and Jiang Yu'er Luo have never raised cattle, Jiang Yuer also heard her family say when she was a child in her previous life, what kind of cattle are better to raise, and she still doesn't know much about how to choose cattle.
In the end, I invited Niu Erye to help choose. When she arrived at the livestock market, she saw the pigs, sheep, cattle and horses tied to the pens on both sides, Jiang Yuer wanted to look like a horse. It's just that she also knows that with a small family like them, if you want to raise a horse, there are so many procedures that you want to cry. After thinking about it, I could only endure the reluctance in my heart, and reluctantly walked towards the cowsheds that sold cattle.
When she entered another enclosure, she was gone. Pointing to the woolen sheep, she told her brother that she would buy a few and raise them. You know, this wool is a good thing, and the quilt made of it not only keeps you warm, but also protects against rheumatism.
She also wants to buy a few goats to go back, but she can't get them, and she didn't like to drink milk in her previous life. In this life, if she wants to get her brother some goat's milk to drink, she won't get rid of the sheep herself. After thinking about it, let's buy sheep! When its hair grows out, it can be sheared to make a quilt or something.
Jiang Amao asked the steward to find out that this sheep was not produced locally, and he thought that someone would know the goods and asked to go. Who knows that it's been raised for almost half a year, and there is no one to write it. The people here raise some goats, which are considered meat sheep. It can be sold to restaurants, or it can be sold by killing.
At last six sheep were bought for two taels of silver. The second master Niu helped choose a good cow that is relatively strong, has good endurance, and is docile. I bought an ox cart again, and the family happily rushed home.
Early in the morning of the twenty-sixth day of the winter month, Aunt He brought jujubes, and Aunt Lihua followed the second aunt over. In their words, there is no adult in the family, so they come to help cook something or something. Others also came one after another, helping out with their work.
The Jiang family has no extra relatives, and on the grandmother's side, after leaving from her mother, they have all been in contact. Jiang Yu'er didn't send a letter to the other side about going to Liang. The people who came were all from the village, and seeing that her hut was full of people, Jiang Yuer liked it very much.
She thought that in such a united village, even if it was poor, there would never be anyone stealing chickens and dogs. In the future, life will get better, and everyone will not have the strength to go to one place. Looking at everyone's busy figures, she is even more convinced that she must lead everyone to live their lives.
It is said that it is better to give a fish to a man than to give a man a fish. After the sweet potatoes at home are planted, she must raise more seedlings so that everyone in the village can plant them. For them with mud legs, without a backstage, it is not easy for others to pinch you.
She wants to be the backing of Zhangzhuang Village, and she also wants Zhangzhuang Village to backing her. In the future, if someone is jealous of their Zhangzhuang Village, they must have the courage to come.
She didn't know that because of her small decision, Zhangzhuang Village would become the only rich village within a radius of hundreds of miles in the future. It also made many dignitaries and nobles begin to look at this small village that has always been unknown. It's just that the people here are all hugged, and it can even be said that there is no leakage. Of course, that's all for later.
Brother Jiang Amao followed the second uncle to the new house, after sacrificing to the gods from all walks of life, set off firecrackers, and set breakfast for Shangliang. As soon as I heard a big man shout 'get up', a group of people behind him said some auspicious words, and a beam was steadily raised.
The main beam went up, and the others followed one after another. Looking at these pillars, Jiang Yuer began to miss the bungalow in her previous life. Such a tiled house, in such a village, looks incomparably high-end and high-grade, but in her Jiang Yu'er's eyes, it is nothing except for being able to shelter from the wind and rain.
In winter, the tile wind blows in, and if you are not careful, you may even get a headache. Looking up at the beams, she felt that she should hang a roof or something, otherwise she would freeze to death.
