Chapter 67: Lively Shangliang Day

After working until the evening, Shu Qingai was so tired that her back hurt, so she made five hundred pumpkin pies. There were thirty craftsmen and women who cooked, and each of them received ten pieces, and the remaining two hundred or so were distributed among the villagers who came to congratulate them.

Put the finished cakes that have not been fried into the space one by one, so that they are easy to store, which Shu Qingai accidentally discovered before.

When she put some of the radishes and cabbage she bought back into the space, she took them out after several days, and they were still the same as before. This pumpkin pie is raw, and she is not afraid that Ling'er will eat it directly. Thinking of Ling'er, a glutton, Shu Qingai decided to make dozens of them for her to eat first, so that Li Mochen could try them.

Sure enough, when a large plate of pumpkin pie was brought into the space, the tsundere Ling'er was full of joy on her face, and she didn't have a good attitude towards Shu Qingai.

These days, Shu Qingai will also cook more meals and send them to Ling'er, Ling'er's attitude has also changed a lot, and when she faces her again, she is no longer so arrogant, but much calmer.

"What the hell is this? It's quite delicious, sweet, glutinous, how can it be better than meat? ”

Ling'er, who has never eaten dim sum, can't stop at all after a bite of pumpkin pie. Seeing that Shu Qingai only shook her head, the little baby could only satisfy her if she had something to eat.

"Pumpkin pie, there are many more snacks like this, if you like it, make more for you to eat after washing."

Shu Qingai felt that since this Ling'er was going to follow her for the rest of her life, there was no need for the two of them to pinch each other as soon as they met, and treat her as a real child, in fact, sometimes you can gain a lot of joy.

"Uh-huh."

Ling'er shouted pumpkin pie and nodded vaguely. Shu Qingai got out of the space, and when she entered the bamboo house, Li Mochen was looking at a few travelogues that Shu Qingai bought back on the bed, so that she could pass a lot of time.

"Rest early, and tomorrow we will have a Shangliang banquet."

Seeing that Shu Qing's hobby is not easy to raise some meat, and his cheeks have been a little thin during this time, a touch of distress slowly spreads in the bottom of his heart. One didn't hold back, and Li Mochen blurted out.

Shu Qingai just picked up the water cup and snickered in her heart, but when she turned around again, her face was no different from usual.

"You too, drink some more water."

After the words fell, he pulled the travelogue away from Li Mochen's hand with one hand, and handed over a glass of holy water.

Between the two, during this period of time, it seems that they have gotten along very well, Shu Qingai is no longer petty, and Li Mochen is no longer as poisonous as he was at the beginning, they are like a couple for many years, respecting each other like guests, plain.

It's just that such a peaceful life is not too long, and that's a bit of a later story.

The next day, the village knew that today was the Shangliang Day of Shu Qing's family, and the children in the village were the most jubilant, and they came to the new house early, waiting for the main family to distribute candy.

Even if you know, before that, you have to go through a lot of cumbersome etiquette. But the children were still in high spirits, frolicking in groups.

Shu Qingai has also experienced it for the first time, if it weren't for the Qiu family and the Fang family helping the village, she would be almost blind and wouldn't understand anything.

The first procedure is to carry the beams with red paper into the new house, and successively place offerings on the offering table, including pig's heads, big fish, roosters, geese, eggs, tofu, melons and fruits, incense candles, and so on.

There are a lot of cumbersome things, but fortunately, the Qiu family and the Fang family have a big package, and they are all prepared for Shu Qingai.

The bricklayer and the carpenter stepped forward in unison, saying auspicious words while making a toast.

Please Liang please go to the front of the hall, a pair of wedding candles are divided into two sides, six incense burners are contained, and a pair is happy and happy. The first cup of long-term respect for the ancestors, Zhang Ban Luban sits on both sides, the year is auspicious, and the old tomb is rich for thousands of years.

The second glass of wine toasts the birthday star, and the eight-hole immortals sit on both sides......

Shu Qing Aile looked at it, this excitement was like watching someone else's house, because she didn't understand anything, she could only watch, and she had to be reminded by Qiu if necessary.

Immediately after the completion of the sacrifice beam, the craftsman lifted the main beam to the roof, at this time the firecrackers rang out, and the master of the upper beam sang loudly: "Ah, good luck!" ”

After the main beam was stabilized, Shu Qingai put the "grain color bag" sent by Qiu's Fang's Li Yu and the village chief and some villagers to the roof, and put it on the authentic beam, implying a bumper harvest of grains, and draped the red cloth on the beam.

Immediately afterwards, the craftsman threw the wrapped red cloth into the basket held by Shu Qingai's hands, and the "receiving package" was completed, which meant catching the treasure.

The most gratifying link "throwing beams" has arrived, and the people in the village, whether old or young, are looking forward to it the most.

The craftsmen threw the sweets, peanuts, steamed buns, copper coins and other auspicious winter and summer cong angliang prepared by Shu Qingai in advance, and the men, women and children in the village scrambled to scramble.

In the lively scene, the craftsman sang while throwing: "Throwing the beam to the east, the east sunrise is full of red: throwing the beam to the west, and the unicorn sends the child to hang the double happiness ......"

After the lively part of the two breaks, everyone exited the new house, and then there was the "sunbeam", which means that the vacant house was let the sun shine

The cumbersome etiquette is finally over, and the villagers who gave the gifts consciously stayed, waiting for a Shangliang banquet, and the villagers who did not give gifts, Shu Qingai took out the pumpkin pie prepared in advance and weighed a few pieces with the villagers, after the pumpkin pie, the villagers thanked happily, and led their children's families back happily.

Originally, there was not much intersection between Mochen and the people in the village, and of course there were not many people who gave gifts.

In addition to the Qiu family, there are also three mothers-in-law, the village chief's family, the Fang family, and several families of men working here, and to Shu Qingai's surprise, the Qian family also sent a handful of noodles and five eggs before.

Of course, stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, even for the sake of Dongzi's dedication to taking care of Li Mochen during this time, Shu Qingai is also very enthusiastic about the Qian family.

When everyone dispersed, Shu Qingai took out the prepared red envelopes again, and the village women of the craftsmen and helpers each prepared one penny of silver, leaving ten copper plates for eating, regardless of men, women and children, Shu Qingai even sent one more to the craftsmen and the women of the village helpers.

For a while, the women who got the two red envelopes and the helpers never closed their mouths with a smile.

The big thing of Shangliang was finally completed, and just as the steaming meals were served on the table, the talents of the Shu family came.

"Yo, this is just the right time, just in time."

Liu Xiaoju's fat face turned into a bun, looking at the meat dishes on the table, her eyes were almost gone, and she didn't realize that as Shu Qingai's mother's family today, she should have come to help early, and it was not at this time that she came to eat and drink at all.

Shu Qingai watched the Shu family come unhurriedly, still the same as last time, except for Shu Xiaoyue, the Shu family was present.

Liu Xiaoju took the brunt of occupying a table, and then waved to Shu Yuanbao behind him, of course, Shu Yuanbao is also a eater and drinker, otherwise he would not be so fat.

After a few grunts, they climbed onto the table, and before anyone else could get under the table, the mother and son started directly on the dishes on the table.

A few women in the village who were helping looked at the Shu family and shook their heads, after all, this is Shu Qingai's mother's family, even if they come empty-handed, it will not be their turn to speak. Just go on with their work.

I thought that the Shu family would not come today because of the last lightning strike, after all, this house has been built for so long, and I haven't seen the Shu family show their faces to help the village with their own girls, and now the Qiu family They didn't prepare the Shu family's meals, looking at the appearance of Shu Yuanbao's mother and son gobbling up, a few people summed it up, they didn't serve it, and they used the remaining ingredients to make a few more dishes to make do with it.

"Since they're all here, let's go inside."

Thinking of Qiu's reminder yesterday, saying that he couldn't collide with people today no matter what, Shu Qing endured it, and said with a cold face.

At this time, she also figured out that these people are talented wolves, tigers and leopards, and she doesn't want a reputation for filial piety or filial piety, since they dare to sell themselves as goods again and again, there is no need to be lonely.

Shu Mu couldn't bear it anymore, and saw that his mother-in-law and children were eating with their mouths full of oil, rubbed his hands, and strode forward.

Shu Dacheng and Wang's shelf still have to be upright, and the fake model family looked around: "This house is up well, it seems that it is still a good life, but what I mentioned to you that day, grandpa, you should think about it these days." ”

Shu Qingai lowered her eyes, Shu Dacheng and the old couple couldn't see the kind look on her face, waited and waited, seeing that Shu Qingai just lowered her head and didn't speak, she snorted coldly and went to Shu Mu's table.

Originally, the square table of eight people was occupied by the five members of the Shu family, and the people in the village had seen the strength of the Shu family last time, and they were very disgusted, and they refused to come forward to share a table with them.

Later, because the women who cooked did not serve the table, those villagers were fortunate enough to settle down.

"Shu Niangzi, this Shangliang banquet belongs to your family, and it has done the best in these ten miles and eight villages!"

Mrs. Qian praised while holding a piece of pork belly into her mouth, and Zhou Zhang, who was at the same table with her, saw this, nodded, and tried to swallow the meat in her mouth, and her hands were not empty, and then she went to pick up the meat dishes in other bowls.

"Indeed! I came to eat your meal today, and I'm afraid I won't be so happy in the New Year. ”

Zhou Zhang's is also praised! She understands that Shu Qingai is a capable person, and during this time, her son and daughter-in-law have handed over a lot of money to her, which makes her understand the benefits of having a good relationship with Shu Qingai.

Shu Qing stepped forward with a smile: "The two aunts think it's delicious, then you're welcome, you have to eat up the table before leaving." ”

Shu Qingai said as she couldn't help but look at the other table, almost all of them were male guests, led by the village chief, there was the old man of the village chief's family, as well as the old man who came with Zhou Zhang's family and a man dressed as a scholar, I think that it was Zhou Dahai's younger brother.
