697 Groundbreaking Ceremony
When Li Fan heard that the time was up, he immediately said, "Xiao Wan, let's go now!"
Gu Xiaowan nodded. It is said that the ground is broken, but she has no idea how the ground should be moved, nor how to hold the ceremony.
When they came to the front, there was a desk placed there.
There was a large live rooster on it, with its head held high and its cockscomb erect, looking majestically everywhere.
Next to it is a plate of longevity buns like longevity peach, a plate of pork belly, a bowl of longevity noodles, and a pot of wine.
Gu Xiaowan is extremely curious, is this completely similar to worshipping God!
Sure enough, I heard that Master Lin poured a glass of wine first, raised the glass and said loudly: "Father Landlord, I am Lin Dafeng, a mason hired by the Gu family. Today is the day when the Gu family built a house to build a private house. I hope the landowner will bless you. We are safe and sound."
After speaking, he sprinkled the white wine on the ground, then put the wine glass on the desk, and the people came down.
Then, Li Fan pulled Gu Xiaowan down and motioned for Gu Xiaowan to go up too.
Gu Xiaowan had already heard what Li Fan said just now, so she also took a few younger brothers and sisters to the stage. The little servant Li Fan brought also poured a glass of wine. Gu Xiaowan held it in her hand and followed what Li Fan taught her just now. He just said: "The land father is on the top, today is the ceremony for my Gu Xiaowan to get up the house. I hope the land father will bless us with a safe and smooth house building, and good luck!"
After speaking, just like Lin Dafeng just now, he threw the wine on the ground, then knelt down and bowed three times toward the front.
After getting up, he went back.
Next, it was the Taoist priest who helped Gu Xiaowan and the others watch the day.
I saw that Taoist priest stepped forward, also a glass of wine, and poured it on the ground. Then, the peach wood sword pointed forward, the rooster stood up, and the rope that tied it was broken.
Then he saw the rooster standing on the desk, glanced at the people around him arrogantly, as if he was not afraid at all, flapped his wings twice, and then flew away.
The Taoist priest didn't go after him, and let the chicken fly away.
Gu Xiaowan felt curious, and heard Li Fan whispering from the side: "This chicken is a living animal, and it cannot be killed on the day when the ground is broken. When the day we go to the beam, the chicken will run back by itself, and then we will kill the chicken to celebrate! "
What?
Will this chicken run back on its own?
Gu Xiaowan felt incredible just thinking about it.
Here, the chicken has run away without a shadow and disappeared, will it come back on its own when it gets to the beam?
Afraid that they were not eaten by wild dogs, they would be caught and eaten. How can you be so conscious.
Seeing Gu Xiaowan's disbelief, Li Fan said with a smile: "This chicken has been marked, everyone knows that this is a chicken that has been worshipped by the land man, and will not be caught casually! If you don't believe it, just wait. Wait and see, this chicken will definitely come back, which means that when we build the house, this chicken will represent Ji, it will wander around to protect everyone's safety, and when we are finished, kill the chicken, That means Ji will be here forever!"
It turns out that this chicken is what people wish for good luck in their hearts.
I see! Gu Xiaowan suddenly realized!
Although this was all feudal and superstitious people in the original time, she even encountered the matter of transmigration. She would rather believe it or not!
Then Master Lin stepped forward with a shovel tied with red silk, dug a shovel of mud in the ground, and shouted loudly, "Good luck!"
After Master Lin finished speaking, he heard the sound of crackling firecrackers not far away, and the groundbreaking ceremony was over.
After the gun battle was over, Master Lin came forward with a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said auspicious words to Gu Xiaowan: "Congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master!"
The rest of the masons also gathered and said congratulations and auspicious words.
Then, I saw the little servant of Li Fan, holding dozens of red seals in his hand. He was walking in the crowd and he sent one when he saw anyone. When he sent one, he said an auspicious word: "Great luck!"
The mason who got the red envelope also said something auspicious: "Good luck!"
Gu Xiaowan didn't think that this was also going to be a red envelope. Thinking of this, it seems that she really only needs to stand here. Uncle Li has arranged everything for her!
Seeing this, Gu Xiaowan was very grateful: "Uncle Li, thank you, if it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do!"
Indeed, how could she have thought that a ceremony would be required to break ground.
And for each step, who will go forward first and what will be said first, there are regulations.
Moreover, after the ceremony is over, red envelopes will be given to the masons. It really made her feel a little ashamed, and she felt that what she had done was really not enough!
Seeing Gu Xiaowan being so polite, Li Fan said with a smile, "Our two uncles and nephews, why are you polite!"
Very intimate relationship.
At this time, Master Lin came over with a smile. He just got a big red seal. Just by pinching it with his hands, he knew that there were a lot of copper plates in it.
Lin Dafeng is the main leader, so his red seal must be different from other ordinary masons.
For the other masons, each of them had sixteen copper plates in their red envelopes, which meant six or six Dashun. And Lin Dafeng's red envelope contained sixty-six copper plates.
Everyone got the red seal, and they took it apart and looked at it out of curiosity. When they saw that there were sixteen pennies, they all praised the owner for their generosity.
Those workers have followed the division of labor and went to work on their own.
When Master Lin came over, there were still a lot of things he didn't understand. He had to ask clearly on the spot. This owner is so generous, and he must build a comfortable and reassuring house that the owner is satisfied with.
"What's the meaning of this bathroom and shower room? Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge. I have built houses for decades, but I have never built such a bathroom and shower room." Master Lin asked studiously.
