Chapter 22
Building a new house is a big deal, and Li Feng's family has been busy these days. Not to mention the food, Li Feng originally thought of setting up a few tables in the restaurant, but in the end Li Shan shook his head after hearing this.
It was still unknown whether it would suit the taste. In the end, I had no choice but to tell the third aunt in advance and come to help on the day of the beam.
Needless to say, the villagers came here early, and the women were busy helping with the washing and cooking. A few men set up the Eight Immortals table in the yard. The weather was beautiful, it was a sunny day, and it was neither cold nor hot at noon, but warm.
.
Li Feng had already prepared the ingredients yesterday. Today is no easier than the day he started work. He made 6644. Six plates of cold dishes and ten plates of hot dishes, including six vegetarian dishes, four meat dishes, the last four soup dishes, and four dim sum.
, the last staple food is steamed buns. Li Feng doesn’t know what the particular details are, but Li Shan can do whatever he says.
On the day when the beams were laid, fifty or sixty people gathered in the small peach forest, including about twenty children, who watched eagerly as the two large bamboo baskets hanging on the eaves turned into two.
Inside, there are treasures, candies, peanuts, walnuts, small steamed buns, and fifty-cent change. It is customary in the village to dye raw peanuts in five colors, and the steamed buns are made the size of walnuts, with red, blue, and green dots on top. These are all
Zhang Lan steamed it yesterday and let it dry overnight. Li Feng tried it and it was a bit stiff.
However, these are auspicious, and eating is the next best thing. Candy, Li Feng went to the street and weighed more than ten kilograms. There were all kinds of milk candies, fruit candies, and soft candies. He filled two bamboo baskets with a few of them and placed them high.
On the eaves, wait for the auspicious time to come, then go up to the floor and scatter candies.
Today all the free laborers in the village came over to help lift the floor slabs, making bamboo ladders and tying red cloth up and down. A red quilt was placed on the first shelf of the floor slab. Now it is not a tile-roofed house, the upper beams are made of pine wood and there are
A piece of red cloth with thumbtacks to create a unique pattern to ward off evil and avoid harm.
The second master presided over the ceremony. In fact, many things have been eliminated. As society develops and the pace of life becomes faster and faster, some customs have become more simplified and even disappeared. For example, the rooster sacrifice to the beam is no longer so particular.
It's just a walk up there, no blood. Zeng Jin carried wooden beams and killed chickens, but it was very lively. There was a song called "Cock Sacrifice to Beams". The portable rooster was like a phoenix, with a high head and a long tail. It wore a red crown and a green crown.
Feather, wearing a purple bagua robe. This chicken is different from ordinary chickens. Mother Guanyin sent a chicken at the right time. One does not crow randomly, the other does not crow randomly, it is the time when Xian Dong came to Liang Dynasty.
Offering sacrifices to the tail of the beam, it is precious to the end; offering sacrifices to the waist of the beam three times, colorful ribbons fluttering; offering sacrifices to the belly of the beam four times, bringing wealth for thousands of years. One sacrifice is offered to heaven, Lu Ban is offered to the gods, the other is offered to the earth, Guanyin is offered to the land. Offer the land.
Mimi smiles, He Xi Xiandong builds the building together. At that time, adults and children could sing a few lines. Now Li Feng's generation still vaguely remembers it, but the children's generation may not know it anymore.
When I was young, Li Feng, Li Can, and Li Changming were the most fond of going to Liang. They had candy to eat and money to take. It was only 5 cents or 10 cents, and each of them picked up 30 to 50 cents. But they were so excited. Today, 30 to 50 cents
It was optional. At that time, my weekly pocket money was just that.
Today, Li Feng didn't have time to pay attention to these things. He was busy greeting the left and right blind date, eating cigarettes and drinking tea. Li Can, Li Changming, and Li Xujin all came over. They helped Li Feng entertain the young and old in the village. It was lively, and the bricklayers on the left and right were getting ready.
Second Master, sitting aside, with a smile on his face.
When the auspicious time came, firecrackers were going off. The incense stand had already been set up, and the second master went up to the beam to worship Jiang Taigong. Gods and ghosts came to disturb him. There was a magic whip in Taigong's hand, and the demons and demons retreated quickly. When worshiping the gods, everyone was silent. Li Feng
Watching the ceremony end, he quickly stepped forward to help the second master. This made the old man roll his eyes, and Li Feng chuckled.
More than a dozen big men were ready. They worked in groups of four to carry the floor slabs. Several bricklayers had already arrived at the eaves. They picked up bamboo baskets and each of them loaded a few handfuls. This was a common practice. The men, women, old and young downstairs,
Especially the children, who stared eagerly at the bamboo basket and stretched their necks to wait.
Nowadays, it is not a wooden beam. As soon as the floor goes up, the bricklayer throws down a handful of candies, and the old and children rush to grab them. Li Feng chuckles, picks up a toffee from the side and puts it in his mouth. Sometimes, the bricklayer looks down and pouts.
Young and old, children at heart, deliberately threw the candies into a deserted place, causing the people below to laugh and scold them, making it very lively.
Li Feng looked at the smiles on the children's faces, and smiled at each other with Li Can, Li Changming, and Li Xu. He and he were once like children in the crowd, shouting and snatching candies. They picked up five cents and ten cents. They were so happy that they didn't know why.
Jumping and jumping. At that time, people had little money, but only a few dollars. A child with only 30 to 50 cents was considered a small rich man.
At the end of the beam-laying ceremony, each of Li Feng's helpers stuffed a pack of cigarettes, which cost ten yuan. Many people looked at Li Feng and gave thumbs up. Even in the town, there are few Daqinlings that cost ten yuan.
.Both the villagers and the construction team felt that the Li Feng family was generous and benevolent.
At this time, Zhang Lan and others had prepared meals. There were more people today, and five tables were filled to the brim. Fortunately, Li Feng bought a lot of vegetables. Zhang Lan and the third aunt went into battle, and Li Feng, Li Can, and others took over.
The dishes were served in a lively manner. Before the guests could sit down for a few minutes, the cold dishes were already on the plate. Of course, they were not sitting there for nothing. In the four little butterflies, there were peanuts, melon seeds, walnuts, candied dates, and tea, chatting and laughing, and drinking tea.
.Six cold dishes, three vegetables and three meats, fried peanuts, cucumbers, shredded bamboo shoots, beef slices, pig ears, preserved eggs, Li Feng and others served the dishes one by one. Red paint on the long tray, put it in a circle, pour the wine,
The sound of toasts came and the banquet started. The second master spoke on behalf of the host family and toasted. Li Feng and others quickly got busy. There were no pure vegetarian dishes for the hot dishes. People in the mountains are simple. The vegetarian dishes were brought out for people to laugh at. Each dish
They all have shredded pork and sliced meat as a base.
Nowadays, banquets usually start with six fried dishes, including chicken, fish, meat and eggs, and finally meatballs, salty soup, sweet soup, three delicacies soup, dim sum, fried noodles, fried rice, red bean paste buns, and jujube cakes. In the past, they were very particular.
There are ten bowls of banquets, and the ten bowls of banquets are: one for stir-fried vegetables, two for braised pork, three for three delicacies, four for soup, five for chicken, six for dumplings, seven for mutton, eight for beef, and nine for fish.
, ten is ten miscellaneous, and the placement of the dishes is all very particular. The Eight Immortals table is a square for eight people, with an upper seat and a lower seat. The upper seat is the host and guest, and the lower seat is the secondary guests. On both sides are the family names.
Keep company with the neighbors in the village, help pour wine, pass rice, receive dishes, and arrange dishes. The first vegetarian dish should be placed a little to the right of the center, and the second red meat dish should be placed in front of the chief executive.
The first bowl is not in a straight line, the third bowl of three delicacies is placed at the seat next to the table, and is in line with the red meat, forming an inverted triangle. The fourth bowl of soup is placed on the left side of the vegetarian stir-fry, and the fifth bowl is placed with chicken.
On the right side of the vegetable dishes, another triangle is formed, and the dishes can be closely adjacent. The sixth round is the dumpling, which must be placed under the chicken and vegetables on the lower table. If it is placed on the upper table, the upper table will be swept away.
, because Yuanzi has the same pronunciation as “bastard”, after six dishes are served, the host will go to the table and pour wine to the guests, say something like thanking the guests for spending money and eating more dishes, etc. After pouring the wine, the host will continue to serve the seventh course.
The mutton dish is placed under the vegetarian dishes and soup, on the same line as the dumplings. Then the eighth dish, beef, is placed on the line of chicken, vegetarian dishes, and soup. The ninth dish is big fish, which must be placed on the table.
And in front of the chief, the head is facing toward the chief and the tail is facing the lower table. The last bowl of ten miscellaneous dishes is placed on the lower table. In this way, the ten bowls of dishes are arranged, and the guests can eat and drink to their heart's content.
Nowadays, it is just a running table, arranged in an order, and few people know how to place it. There are fewer rules, and the dishes are arranged in order. Today, the five tables in Li Feng's family are all set outside, and the chief is at the innermost
, facing the gate, the second master sat at the head of the table, and the subcontractor took the second seat. At another table, Li Shan served as the host and accompanied the guests. The uncle Li Fukui sat at the third table. They were all from the village. The uncle was accompanying his brothers and never said anything. Originally, Li Shan asked Li Fukui to sit at the second table.
I wanted to accompany guests, but my uncle refused. Why do you say that you are the host and the bricklayer is the guest? The host never said anything about accompanying guests, and he didn't say anything when he accompanied his brothers. There is no need to follow too many rules in the past.
The vegetarian stir-fries are all made from home-grown vegetables, not much bought, including sliced celery meat, minced pork and eggplant, sliced beans and mushrooms, shredded pork with green peppers, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. There is not much fuss, so you can eat it comfortably.
Bowls of chicken, fish, meat and eggs are the dishes that have always been served at Lijiagang’s banquets for many years. Not to mention chicken, braised rooster cubs must be rooster. Fish, braised carp, meat, eight large pieces, braised pork, two ounces of meat on each piece, oil
Woof, woof, trembled. Egg originally referred to eggs, but now stewed turtles accompany turtle eggs. The four main dishes were served in lotus leaf bowls, large bowls, especially eight large pieces, and the strange voices of Li Feng and others attracted a lot of attention.
The elderly people laughed loudly, which made a few people blush. A few of them didn't have much experience. Li Feng didn't notice that they were so embarrassed. It's not easy to pass down customs. The rules are complicated and difficult to remember. It's simple.
Or just pick it up. Without these, the banquet and banquet would be meaningless, right? Hehe, he chuckled and Li Feng stepped forward.
Four large bowls were served, and more than half of the table had passed. At this time, the meatballs had to be put away, leaving time to talk and drink. Li Feng and the others also had time to rest.
"Haha, Xiaobao, we didn't get a meal today." Li Can smiled and pretended to be Li Feng, who was leaning on the table to rest. The two of them had been peeing in mud and naked buttocks since childhood. They didn't care at all when they joked.
Some of the buddies nearby were also shouting. Li Changming was the oldest, and now his child is old enough to play soy sauce, but his temperament has not changed much.
"No, this meal is indispensable. Let me think about it, how about setting up a table at Shuijiagang." As soon as Li Changming said this, the man next to him who didn't like to joke around made Li Xu also widen his eyes.
The whole fish feast in Shuijiagang was really greedy not to mention a few people.
