Chapter 162 A Barrel of Hydrology
Chapter 162
I didn't expect it to be so well built today, and I heard that there is a fire wall in the house, so I don't fear the cold in winter, and the house is warm with the fire wall.
It's not like the cold wooden house they live in, and they burn their own fire in winter. Their wooden house can't burn kang, so one can imagine how cold it is in winter.
In addition to the envy of the clansmen, there is still a little jealousy and imbalance in their hearts, but they can't be too obvious.
Because they will have to ask for others in the future.
Song Mengjiao hid in the crowd and looked around at the house in front of her. The second-floor green brick and tile house looked pretty good just from the outside, let alone the inside.
This house is even more beautiful than the house they lived in in the capital. That little bitch Song Shangshang is really lucky!
Song Mengjiao gritted her teeth jealously, when will His Royal Highness Prince Jin come back to pick her up!
Song Changshang on the other end doesn't know the small things in the hearts of the people.
She was taking her mother and siblings to the second floor, opened the window, and Song Nanjin at the bottom lit firecrackers when she saw them go up, and followed the people below to say "the beam is up!" Song Shangshang and the others put caramel, peanuts, Red dates, steamed buns, and copper coins were scattered.
All the men, women and children present rushed over excitedly to grab the coins, and those who got the copper coins were screaming and shouting.
Just like people in her world snatching red envelopes in the group.
In fact, their beam-raising is not the real beam-raising ceremony. The real beam-raising ceremony is quite formal. People carry the main beam with red paper or red silk into the front of the new house, and put pigs, fish, chickens, etc. on the table. Sacrificial offerings such as geese, eggs, tofu, and joss sticks were toasted by masons and carpenters, but in their situation, it was impossible for this house to do so, and today their main bricklayers and carpenters did not come.
Qian Jinyu said that they had hired another small job, and they couldn't come when they were going to the beam, and expressed their guilt, but they prepared gifts for her in advance, so that her adults would have a lot of money and don't worry about it.
How could Song Shangshang think so much, she thought it would be fine not to hold this ceremony, but due to this situation, coupled with the enthusiasm of the tribe, it would be better to simply set off firecrackers and hold it.
After all, they have a home.
After the beam was served, she began to prepare the dishes for the banquet. Song Shangshang hired a few women in the village to cook, but she couldn't cook the meals for so many people.
She is quite generous, and the banquets on the upper beam are all hard dishes, such as pork knuckles, chicken, duck and fish.
It's all meat, and there's only one plate of vegetables.
Just as Song Shangshang was carrying the dishes on the tray and putting them on the table one by one, an aunt in the clan stopped her, "Shangshang, Shangshang heard that you have dug a well in your backyard, right?"
Song Changshang nodded, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
The aunt continued, "The river is frozen that winter, can we come to your house to fetch water?"
"That's a good question." Song Changshang raised his voice, "The river freezes in winter, you can come to our house to fetch water, but a bucket of water costs ten yuan."
All the clansmen sitting here heard Song Changshang's words, and their faces changed instantly. Some people were unwilling immediately. Song Mengjiao, who was sitting not far away, stood up from her chair with a "snap" and pointed at the other party to criticize, "Song Shangshang Chang, are you crazy about money? Return ten cents and not a penny!"
"That's right, water costs more!" the tribesmen below muttered in a low voice.
Song Shangshang laughed and said nothing, and walked straight to the other party, "Do you know how your grandma's hand was disabled?" She spoke in a very peaceful tone, without any emotion.
"You, you, you..." Song Mengjiao was so frightened at the thought of her grandmother's hand that she didn't dare to speak.
Song Changshang raised her eyebrows, "point again." The other party immediately withdrew her hand, she put the dish in her hand in front of the other party, and said softly, "You can't stop your mouth after eating, should you sew it up with a needle?" .”
