Chapter 104: Building a House (4)

Qiao Xiaowan also used a bamboo dustpan to pack Shaqima, folded into a pyramid shape, stacked up little by little, stacked nine layers, which means a long time, and then there are several other kinds of preserved fruit cakes, adding up to a total of six offerings, indicating that the six or six Shun, the house is built smoothly and smoothly.

At this time, the craftsmen invited by the town came, and Qiao Laide also got up early in the morning, 'hanging red' is a lively thing, and firecrackers must be set off.

The so-called good day is auspicious.

After the craftsman gradually arrived, he began to dig the foundation in the front yard in front of Qiao Xiaowan's mud house, and the big main beam was moved, and soon cut into the dirt, and then even if it was 'hung red' to do.

Because their family is going to rebuild the house, the liveliness of such a craftsman has long attracted the villagers to stop and watch.

You must know that the 'hanging red' needs to be placed, except for the pig's head and some meat to keep at home, some other trivial food is to be distributed to the villagers to ask for an auspicious celebration.

So when these craftsmen came, the villagers in the township at their door surrounded the three layers inside and the outside three layers, especially the little babies, and watched Li Sanmei move offerings out one by one, especially the golden Shaqima, as well as the pile full of preserved fruits, rice cakes, steamed buns, and the eyes of the little dolls who saw it were all shining.

Where are there so many things to eat in the ancient countryside, either go down to the river to catch crabs, go up the mountain to pick fruits, fruits are basically still in season, not all seasons, plus the ancient agricultural technology is backward, vegetable and fruit grafting do not understand, fruit trees grow on their own, there is no artificial care and insect removal, the number of fruits that can grow is very small, which also leads to the ancient fruits are also very rare things.

If apples and pears can appear in the town, they are all precious items that are drooling at the little dolls, because they are so expensive that they can't afford them.

This preserved fruit made from fruit is naturally a favorite thing for children.

The little dolls watched Qiao Xiaowan bring out a large plate full of preserved fruits, and their saliva flowed for an incomparably long time, not to mention the sweet Shaqima that could smell from a distance.

But even if the little dolls were greedy, they didn't go up to grab it, because these were meant to be shared.

The beam has been laid, and the auspicious time has arrived.

Qiao Wen watched the firecracker, the firecrackers crackled, and the lively atmosphere made the little dolls around clap their hands and scream one by one.

Qiao Laide had already lit incense at this time, burned incense and placed the world, kowtowed sincerely, blessed the heavens to build a house smoothly, and then inserted the incense on the incense burner in front of the offerings.

'Hanging red' is also called wearing red.

Tie the middle end of the beam with red silk, and then paste it with red paper with 'Fulu' and 'Jixi' written on it.

After Qiao Laiqian hung up the red silk and pasted the red paper, Li Sanmei sent the red cloth bag wrapped in red silk before, which was breaded with steamed buns, pastries, rice, sorghum, and other staple foods, and some preserved fruits were hung up, which meant that the family had a bumper harvest.

After this was hung up, Qiao Wenjing lit the firecrackers again, crackling, and the red hanging was finally good.

This is good, the surrounding villagers, as well as those little dolls who have long coveted it, immediately hugged up, saying festive words, all kinds of congratulations, Li Sanmei and Qiao Xiaowan smiled and picked up the bamboo dustpan with Shaqima, as well as the large plate with preserved fruits, and threw it into the crowd.

The scene was suddenly lively, and even the craftsmen were rushing to eat inside.
