The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, the village began to be lively.

Tianhou Temple is about to go up.

The upper beam is the most important part of building a house, and the time must be carried out at the time of "high tide", which means that the rising tide lifts all boats.

The men in the whole village basically get up early in the morning and go to the Tianhou Temple to see if there is anything that needs help to help, and when they sing Liang later, they also have to help to answer the lottery at the bottom, the more people the better, and the more popular they are.

On this day, the beams of the harem are no different from the beams of their own houses, the rules are no different, the process is similar, and they are all very grand.

The whole process can be divided into several procedures such as sacrificial beams, upper beams, receiving packages, throwing beams, and waiting for craftsmen.

As the saying goes: 'There are beams on the roof, there is grain in the house, but there are no beams on the roof, and the six animals are not prosperous.' ’

People believe that the family house is upright, stable, and noisy, in order to prosper the family business, and the same is true for the temple, which can also flourish with incense and shelter coastal fishermen.

Before the beam, the god must be sacrificed, and the sacrifice has "whole pig" (that is, with a pig's head and a pig's tail, which means the whole pig).

Fish, goose, tofu, eggs, salt and soy sauce are five or seven colors, with a wooden red lacquer sacrificial plate, placed on the top of the offering table, twenty-four bowls of other dishes and twelve pots of fruits from the north and south.

This was prepared in advance early in the morning, and when Ye Yaodong arrived, the sacrifices had already been arranged, and several large tables were set up, and the Tianhou Temple was also full of villagers.

He looked left and right, walked around, met people he knew, greeted each other, stood with a few friends, and waited for the hour to rise.

At this time, the pillar on the side has been pasted, "Shangliang Xin coincides with the Zodiac Day, and the column meets the purple microstar" couplet.

Most of the villagers have come, and the carpenters have basically arrived, and the masters should tie red silk cloth strips around their waists, and the red cloth has the effect of warding off evil spirits.

The gentleman who presided over Shangliang is also here, so just wait for the hour.

Hearing someone shouting that the hour has come, the host looked at the time, determined that the time had come, and began to sacrifice the beam.

Ye Yaodong and the others all watched carefully below, listening to him sing in the local dialect and praying to the gods of the temple, the landlords of the Three Realms, the gods of the five houses, the master of Luban, the gods of Liang, etc., please gods.

Then the bricklayers, carpenters, etc., say good things and make a toast.

After the end of the sacrifice beam, the host points the two ends of the beam with a red pen and calls the "point beam eye", after the beam, the two zodiac signs belong to the dragon and the tiger, according to the direction of the left green dragon and the right white tiger of the temple, the beam is raised.

They have a saying that "the dragon and the tiger are in the position", which is more auspicious and powerful to match the dragon and tiger, which helps the temple to prosper peacefully.

Usually it is just a symbolic gesture, and then it is performed by Master Ohki and his assistants.

The two ends of the beam are also hung with red silk, and the red silk droops down to clear Shunzhi Tongdian, which means "safe and smooth".

When the middle beam was raised, firecrackers were set off outside the house, and the incense burner on the side also began to burn the gold ingots.

Master Shangliang also sang the song of Shangliang and shouted: "Up, good luck!" ”

And the villagers inside and outside the Tianhou Temple all shouted in unison: "Come in!" Come in! ”

Everyone cooperated, and in the lively and prosperous sound, the beam rose to the roof and joined the joint.

Then the host will contain red dates, peanuts, rice, wheat, evergreen, etc., and put them in the middle of the beam, meaning "blessing, lu, longevity, happiness, eternal green".

After the end of the beam, it is to receive the package, but because it is a temple, it also saves the link of receiving the package, and throws the beam directly.

"Throwing beams" is the most lively part of the beam ceremony, the craftsman has to say auspicious words while throwing, the villagers are full of smiles, happily waiting there to prepare to receive candy, peanuts, steamed buns, etc.

Ye Yaodong and the others were also talking and laughing at the bottom, "This is the link that we are waiting for." ”

"Grab a little more, good luck, smooth sailing!"

"I didn't eat breakfast, so I'm waiting here......"

The carpenter applauded: "Fu Yi!"

The villagers responded: "Okay!"

"The golden rooster in the hand is called."

"Okay!"

"The golden rooster and the auspicious star of the sacrifice beam have arrived."

"Okay!"

The villagers stopped chatting and shouted as soon as the carpenter began to throw.

One call and one answer, unique charm.

Everyone rushed to grab it, and it was very lively.

Ye Yaodong relied on the mastery, and when he was still throwing, he deliberately stood on tiptoe, opened both hands and grabbed one accurately, his palms were full, and after stuffing them into his clothes pockets, he continued to grab.

It wasn't until his pockets were full that he grabbed two more big steamed buns before stopping.

White and tender, soft, not long after it came out of the oven, it was still a little hot, grabbed one in each hand, and he gnawed when he opened his mouth.

He hasn't eaten breakfast yet, so he's waiting here.

"You're cheating!"

Ye Yaodong listened to Ah Zheng's depressed voice, smiled and deliberately stood on tiptoe again, standing beside him.

"Grass, go to the dead side, don't stand next to me."

Don't suffer Lao Tzu!

Ye Yaodong followed him while nibbling on steamed buns, standing on tiptoe as usual, although he didn't say a word, his behavior was already invisible, and his angry teeth were itchy.

"Break up!"

Ye Yaodong followed him as usual, until he saw a few people standing in the corner of the main hall wearing Mao suits, with a pen pinned to their pockets, and a group of people who looked like cadres, and several leaders of the village committee were also standing next to him to laugh, so he quickly stopped playing and walked over with a smile.

Because he saw that Director Chen of the Maritime Safety Bureau was also there.

If he didn't know him, how could he have such a big face and dare to go up and say hello?

Director Chen is different, but he is also a little familiar.

"Hello leaders, I didn't expect the leaders to be so busy, and they could still take the time to come and see our Tianhou Temple Shangliang."

Director Chen said with a smile: "I said that I was going to come over today to join in the fun, but I was late in the morning, but I didn't expect it to start so soon." ”

The village chief hurriedly laughed and said: "It's not too late, it's our honor for the leaders to come, this Shangliang has ended, let's wait for the villagers to go out, and then take the leaders to take a stroll around the Tianhou Palace, it's still ......early to leave the seat."

"It's okay, it's okay, just go around the neighborhood or in the village when the time comes, or you can go to Comrade Ye Yaodong's house to sit down."

Ye Yaodong hurriedly nodded and answered, "Yes, yes, go to my house and sit, drink tea, and rest first." ”

"Okay, how's the trawling going? Is there a lot of fish? ”

"It's okay, so-so, when Mazu's birthday is over, it is estimated that it will not be long before I start preparing to catch squid......"

"That's good, there's money to come in, the squid is a big head......"

"Wow~ It's all hard-earned money......"

Ye Yaodong also chatted there with him, watching the villagers in the Tianhou Palace slowly walk out.

Originally, after the beam was thrown, everyone had to quit, and then the nylon bag on the top of the house had to be removed, so that the sun could directly shine on the roof beam, which was called "drying the beam".

After the others were almost gone, they also walked around the Tianhou Temple.

A few friends stood for a while, and they all went out first, not to get in the way, after all, they didn't know each other, so they didn't come to the front with a cheeky face.

Those people from the village committee took these leaders whom he couldn't name, walked around the Tianhou Temple, and introduced them as they went.

When tables, chairs and benches began to be set up in the Tianhou Palace, they walked out.

Ye Yaodong was idle and bored, and he was still waiting to invite someone home to sit.

Rows of large round tables had already been set up outside the main hall, and the cooks and helpers in the open space were also in full swing preparing for the noon feast.

This beam ceremony is very complicated, just start singing the beam for more than ten minutes, the whole process will take more than two hours, but because it started early, this will be less than ten o'clock

Today happens to be the weekend, and the children are happily playing there, and they feel that these days are simply too happy, happier than the New Year, and lively.

After Ye Yaodong came out, he looked for his own children, and divided the two pockets full of candy and peanuts among the two brothers, just one pocket for each person.

And Ye Chenghai and the others also found out that the candy peanuts they got were less than half of Ye Chenghu's.

"Third uncle, why are you so many?"

"Because I'm tall and have long hands, I'm one step ahead of others, if you have nothing to do, you can jump more skipping rope, and you can grow taller."

Ye Yaodong wondered if the next time he went to the city, would he buy them a basketball and come back?

They southerners are generally too short, and the older generation, 1.7 meters is considered tall in the village......

can't give it for nothing, wait for Ye Chenghu to score two 100 points in the test, and take him to the city, by the way, buy him a basketball as a gift, it's okay.

Make him the most beautiful boy in the village!

"It's not time to eat yet, I'm going back, do you want to go back with me?"

Everyone shook their heads in unison, "Don't!" ”

It's so lively here, who wants to go home?

The children scattered and began to run around again.

Ye Yaodong shook his head, if he doesn't go back at this time, they will all have to go back later for dinner, and it is impossible to bring all the children with him at the banquet.

"You have a lot of children, huh?" Director Chen asked curiously, "I don't seem to have seen so many of them a few times before, brother's family." ”

"Yes, my two elder brothers have three each, and I have three children, and their brothers and sisters are about the same age, and they all play very well."

"It's lively when you look at it, it's good that you were born early, and there will be fewer children in the future."

"Hehe, yes."

He won't answer this question if he is fined too much.

"This day, the harem is also over, go to my house to sit for a while, drink tea, and after talking so much, you should be thirsty."

"Okay."

It's just that before he took a few steps, Ye Yaodong saw his dogs again, all six or seven, all of them climbing into the sidecar of the side-triple......

Good guy, when did it come out, how did he not know?

Still addicted?

I really enjoy it, no one has ever sat down, but a few of them enjoyed it first, and then again and again.

He hurriedly went up to drive away and scolded laughing, "Come down for me, shrink into the fight, and be careful to be pulled back by a cart to stew dog meat!" ”

"Wang~"

"Wangwang~"

Yelled at him a few times, but didn't see them move their positions!

"Come down, don't be a shame."
