Chapter 225
Hearing that Zhao Qin’s house was about to start construction, Xia Rong, who had always been good-tempered, couldn’t help complaining about him.
“Listen to me, why are you in such a hurry? I’ll find someone to look after the day first.” After Xia Rong said this, he put it down and hurried away, regardless of the half bowl of rice left in the bowl.
“Brother, is it necessary to go to such trouble?”
“Nonsense, Qi Cuo is such a big deal, how can you act so randomly like you?” Zhao Ping also felt that his brother was too reckless this time.
Qi Cuo is a general term used by locals for buying a new house.
Zhao Qin shut up. Well, whether it was seeking psychological comfort or respecting local customs, he should pay attention to it.
After waiting for a while after the meal, Xia Rongcai came back in a hurry, “Looking at the date, the day after tomorrow is the tenth day of the lunar calendar. It is said to be a good day, and the zodiac rat is the most suitable.”
Not only do you need to look at the day, but you also need to choose a zodiac sign that corresponds to the auspicious day. The person looking for this zodiac sign should break the ground first, and it is best for this zodiac sign to be a highly respected person, who is more particular about it anyway.
The sister-in-law said that the Chinese zodiac sign was rat, and Zhao Qin immediately raised his hand, “Sister-in-law, there is no need to look for anyone, I am a rat, I just need to break the ground myself first, and there is no one in our village who is more virtuous and respectable than me.”
Zhao Ping simply rolled his eyes and was too lazy to talk to him anymore. Instead, he discussed it with his wife, “My uncle is old enough. No, he seems to be a horse.”
“Aping, I think you should rest for two days even if there is weather tomorrow. This is a big deal for Aqin, and our father is not at home. What if you don’t take care of it? Let’s discuss it tonight and see which elderly people in the village are suitable.
Ask around every house to see if there is anyone born in the Year of the Rat. ”
Zhao Qin was very dissatisfied with being ignored. He suddenly thought of something, “Sister-in-law, it’s such a grand ceremony, do you still have to invite people to a banquet?”
“You need to invite, but you don’t need to invite outsiders. Let’s invite a few people to watch the ceremony and see if we can invite people from the village committee, as well as people from the construction team.”
Zhao Qin imitated his elder brother and rolled his eyes, asking those people from the village committee? Seeing how big their heads are, please give me a favor.
“I will invite the people watching the ceremony, and you will invite the people breaking the ground. That’s it.”
This time he did not discuss it. After that, he returned to his old house and started to make a list of people to watch the ceremony. Lao Zhu, Lao Xing, Lao Zhu, Lao Luo, Lao Liu… everyone in the village who had a good relationship with him was invited.
It’s just a ceremony anyway. For a meal, it’s better to treat someone you know well than to treat someone else.
When Zhao Ping saw the order the next day, the muscles on his face were trembling, “Your order is not good, half of them are old bachelors, how unlucky it is.”
“There are few people in my place, close to the sea, and there is a lot of negative energy. I just want to ask these people to help me control the town. Brother, this matter is not negotiable. By the way, do you have a good candidate for breaking the ground?”
“No, I discussed it with your sister-in-law until midnight. It’s weird. There are no old people in the village who are born in the Year of the Rat.”
Zhao Qin looked at his eldest brother carefully and was extremely doubtful whether the two were really discussing last night.
“Brother, what do you think of my luck?”
“Of course you’re not lucky.”
“We hired people to break the ground for the sake of security and good luck. Are you sure those old people have better luck than me?
What if, I mean what if, if we hire someone wrong, he might ruin my luck once the house is built. ”
The eldest brother was about to retort when the sister-in-law who brought the meal to the table listened and said, “Ah Qin is right. This matter really can’t be done blindly. How about letting Ah Qin break the ground on his own?”
“There’s no such rule. How can he build his own house by himself? And he’s still so young.”
Small? Brother, why am I so young? Be careful and I will sue you for slander.
“That’s it. I’ll break the ground tomorrow. After dinner, I’ll go buy groceries and invite people over.”
“Hmph, a bachelor broke the ground, and several bachelors gathered around to watch.” Zhao Ping complained, making Zhao Qin laugh.
He thought of a story he once read, about a bachelor’s bridal chamber, and several bachelors peeking in, euphemistically called learning.
After dinner, he first rode his bicycle to buy groceries, and then ordered some fish at Chen Dong’s house. Hearing that he was going to build a house, Chen’s father frowned slightly and said, “Waiting for your father to come back to take care of it?”
“Uncle, my father can’t say for sure. I don’t think it’s safe to say that he will come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
Father Chen sighed and nodded slightly. In his opinion, everything is fine for Zhao Qin now, except that his mother is gone and his father is unreliable and grabbed one of his legs.
He didn’t ask Father Chen to come over. After all, he was only breaking ground. When he entered the house, there would definitely be a big banquet.
After coming out of the purchasing station, he went to another store and bought some pork and ribs, as well as fruits, pastries, candies, and the like.
After returning home, I informed everyone one by one to come over for dinner tomorrow morning.
In fact, he originally wanted to take these old bachelors to the town for a meal, and then arrange a 299 set meal for each person, making sure everyone smiles and saying that he has arranged it well, but his brother and sister-in-law disagree.
……
In the early morning, Zhao Qin got up very early even though he didn’t go to sea. After washing, he went to his eldest brother’s house and picked up the sacrifices prepared yesterday.
When we came to the foundation, we determined the location of the main hall according to the construction drawings, and then asked the land master to take it out and place it in the southeast. It was a small wooden statue. Almost every house here has it.
Because the Earth God actually belongs to the God of Wealth series, ensuring peace, success, promotion, wealth, etc.
Place the Earth God on the ground, place two incense candles on both sides in front of him, and place an incense burner in the middle.
Then place the offerings in front of the statue, two plates of fruits, one plate of pastries, and one each of chicken, duck, and fish.
After everything was done, Zhao Qin lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner. Then he knelt down and kowtowed three times. He didn’t need to pray because the Lord of the Land knew that today was the day to break ground.
Although there were many people at the scene, everyone kept quiet. Fortunately, it was not a weekend, so there were no children.
When Zhao Qin got up, everyone became lively and came forward to say a few auspicious words, such as breaking the ground and making a lot of money.
Zhao Qin and Zhao Ping took cigarettes and were responsible for smoking for everyone. After smoking one cigarette and seeing that the incense was almost burned, they removed the incense and candles, covered the earth with a piece of red cloth, and invited people again. go home.
As for the offerings on the ground, chickens, ducks, and fish are half-cooked, so they have to be taken back for reprocessing. Fruits and pastries will be eagerly snatched up to bring wealth.
Tu Qun handed Zhao Qin a shovel and chose a location. Zhao Qin symbolically dug a few shovels of soil and the ceremony was completed.
When the construction team came in, they first had to lay lines and dig foundations. Zhao Qin didn’t have to be there to watch, but Lao Xing officially started working today.
Before noon, word spread in the village that Zhao Qin was going to build a house.
In fact, everyone had heard earlier that Zhao Qin was going to build a house next to the Mazu Temple, and the villagers who didn’t know much about it would also talk about it.
Some people say he is stingy because the place is cheap, while others say he is careless and will probably not live in the house even after it is built.
But when the accurate news spread today that he had earmarked two acres of land to build a house, the villagers were shocked but also sad.
Whose house is built on two acres? This is the only share in the village!
Some people enviously speculated on how much money Zhao Qin had earned in the past two or three months, while others were jealous and said that he had a lot of money and didn’t know how to show it off.
…
PS: Zhao Qin’s new ship and new house have started construction, and his life is getting better and better.
Some readers find this book too slow. The protagonist of hundreds of thousands of words has bought half a country, but this protagonist is still building a house.
We understand it this way. When you travel through time one day and there is a system that is not exaggerated, how can you make a fortune?
The main reason why the protagonist didn’t copy the songs was that, firstly, Shanfeng didn’t want to mess up the main line of the book too much, and secondly, with the price of the arrangement at that time, he might as well have gone out to sea.
Finally, please support me, ask for all kinds of things, cute sisters, cute brothers, please feed me, haha.
