This time, there were twenty or thirty people helping to build the wine shop, and just eating was a big deal.
When farmers encounter this kind of thing, they usually cook on a board from the pigsty for the convenience of pouring water. But the place is too remote, so in the end they built a shed directly across the river, away from the river.
The place to work is only 200 to 300 steps away, separated by a fence, and dust cannot be blown away, which is indescribably convenient.
Twenty or thirty men in their prime can eat a lot in a day. Uncle Tang and Mrs. Zhou are not free. Tang Junliang has to collect grain at home, and Qi Jing has to start preparing to build a new house. They are all very busy, and Tang Shiyue happens to be free.
Coming down, it was a timely help.
So Tang Sanshu was asked to take Tang Shiyue out to buy them every day.
Tang Sanshu just drove the car, and Tang Shiyue only paid. Tang Sanshu just watched the money being thrown away like water. He felt really distressed and advised her from time to time: "Yue'er, country people don't have to eat so well. A little bit of meat would be nice."
Already."
Tang Shiyue smiled and said: "Third uncle, we entertained them better. They have strength, so they will naturally work faster and more attentively."
Uncle Tang San heard that what she said made sense, but he still felt that it was too much money, and it was like buying something for free.
He took a chance and quietly told Fourth Uncle Tang.
Ever since Tang Shiyue was "off the hook", Tang Fourth Uncle and his wife could see a sense of "people are in high spirits when happy events happen" on their faces. Hearing this, they only smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, just listen to Yue'er."
.”
Uncle Tang San was a little speechless: "What does a little girl know? Fourth brother, I'm not telling you, you must have a plan in mind."
"What are your plans?" Fourth Uncle Tang smiled and said, "Since Yue'er took over, you haven't asked me for a cent of money. How do you care?"
Uncle Tang San's eyes widened in surprise: "Is it possible that Qi Xiaolang's money was all used?"
Fourth Uncle Tang smiled and nodded. Third Uncle Tang thought for a while and then advised him: "You still have to be careful. How can people get free money? I don't know how much they will have to falsely report, and they will come to you to ask for money!"
Fourth Uncle Tang said: "No, they are not this kind of people." He patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, third brother, don't worry about it, just listen to Yue'er. If anything happens, I will take care of it."
Someone over there called him: "Tang Silang!"
Fourth Uncle Tang agreed and hurried over.
Although Uncle Tang San was still worried, he had no choice but to keep doing it.
In fact, what Tang Shiyue said was right. Their food was cooked well. There was meat in every dish, including the boss's meat slices. They also had steamed rice, biscuits, and rice. Everyone knew what they were doing, and they were naturally very attentive to their work.
It really looks like your own house.
The wine shop looked the same every day, and it only took ten days to build it inside and out.
That day was also an auspicious day. After dinner, I invited an old carpenter to come over and warm the beams.
To warm the beam, two long stools should be placed in the new house, the "middle beam" should be placed on the Wanzi cake, and then red and green strips of cloth should be tied on both sides of the middle beam, with the red one on the big side and the green one on the other side.
On the small side, the east is the big one and the west is the small one. Then tie a big red flower made of red cloth in the middle of the middle beam.
Then Uncle Tang, the owner, came forward, lit firecrackers, and lit sesame regular script under the middle beam. At this time, the old carpenter invited also sang a song, which is "warming the beam."
On the second day, it was time to go up to the beam.
You need to make two large French hammers in advance, paint them red, one foot and two inches long, six inches wide, and three inches thick, in an octagonal shape, with a wooden handle in the middle, a small hole punched at the end of the wooden handle, and a red-tipped rope.
Pass it through for easy hanging.
Then make dozens of small French hammers, all of which are regular octagons with a side length of one inch and a half, punch a hole in the middle, insert a chopstick as a handle, and dye it red.
The owner should prepare some candies, glutinous rice balls, steamed bun cakes, and a pair of 10,000-word cakes in advance, put them all in a bamboo basket, and then tie a long rope to both ends of the middle beam so that the carpenters and bricklayers can use the rope to lift the beam. Lift the beams and columns.
Then the beam-raising begins, with the east owner setting off firecrackers, the carpenter in the east, and the bricklayer in the west, each holding a rope and climbing up the ladder. At the same time, the carpenter sings loudly.
Afterwards, the two people climbed to the top of the ladder, pulled the rope and slowly raised the "middle beam", and then used a large French hammer to place the middle beam firmly on the capital of the column that had already been made, and then hung the French hammer on the middle beam. On the long base below the beam.
The carpenter then lifts up the bamboo basket containing the candies, grabs the contents and throws them to the host and the people around. This is called throwing beams, and then the ceremony is completed.
After everyone has finished grabbing and the excitement is enough, they exit and let the sun shine for a day before putting up the tiles again.
After the beams are installed, the house is basically completed, and everyone has to drink the beam wine as usual.
Tang Shiyue went to the town twice in succession and ordered a lot of big dishes from the restaurant. Several women who helped were busy all day, bringing hot chicken, duck, and fish to the table. Li Zheng, together with the clan leader, invited them all. Come here and have a drink.
When the food was on the table, Fourth Uncle Tang brought the extra bayberry wine at home and said with a smile: "It's not that we are stingy, this is the only amount of wine left. This is the kind of wine sold to big restaurants in town. Everyone should try it.”
I laughed and divided the portions. One table only shared a small jar of two kilograms.
The patriarch, Li Zheng, and Qi Jing all sit at the main table, and there is also an additional leader of the Cheng family class, who calls himself Gusu Sheng.
The Cheng family class is well-known and often travels all over the world. I just received the invitation from Qi Jing a few days ago. I happened to be free, so I just came here yesterday.
When I came here, I saw that it was such a remote and remote place, and the place was so small that Gusu students were a little bit dissatisfied. However, I have come here, and this kind of house does not take much time, so I still accepted the job. I happened to be in a hurry to drink today. When the wine was served, he also went to the main table.
Hearing those villagers exclaiming in surprise, it was as if they had drunk a beautiful nectar. Although Gu Susheng smiled on his face, he felt a little disapproving in his heart.
He has always been fond of wine. Whenever he goes wherever he goes, he first looks for the local wine. It can be said that he has tasted all the famous wines in the world, even tribute wine. How can he care about the wine brewed in such a small place in the countryside?
Fourth Uncle Tang had already come over with a jar and poured them for them one after another with a smile. The student from Gusu took a look and saw that in the crude wine bowl, the wine was bright red and sweet and fragrant. It looked like wine, but it was not wine. It actually looked very good.
Gu Susheng was a little surprised, so he reservedly picked up the wine bowl with three fingers and took a sip. The taste was so mellow that he had never tasted it before.
Gu Susheng asked in astonishment: "What kind of wine is this?"
Uncle Tang smiled and said: "We brewed this ourselves, it's called Fushou wine, this is one of them, it's called Fushou Jieshu wine!"
Gu Susheng asked, "Are there fruits and medicinal materials in here?"
Fourth Uncle Tang responded with a smile, and Gu Su asked: "What kind of medicinal materials are they?"
Fourth Uncle Tang smiled and said, "This is our secret recipe."
After Gu Susheng asked, he also thought about it, and asked Qi Jing, "Is this Xiaolangjun's recipe?" Qi Jing just nodded, and Gu Susheng said, "I don't know what they put in it? Why did it happen?" Can it be so delicious?"
Qi Jing raised his eyebrows but did not answer. The clan leader smoothed things over and said, "Since it is a secret recipe, it is not easy to tell others."
If it were for other things, Gusu students would naturally know the importance, but when it comes to wine, they feel itchy and can't help but taste it again and again. They closed their eyes and said: "Yangmei, white chrysanthemum, wolfberry..."
He could actually taste the recipe? Fourth Uncle Tang was a little surprised and worried, and glanced at Qi Jing. (To be continued)
