Chapter 153 Ancestor Worship (two more)
Siblings finished making snacks after drinking water.
Offerings are actually very particular, such as fruits and desserts.
Peach and pomegranate are the most yang fruits among fruits, which can be used to exorcise evil spirits, so they are not suitable for sacrifice.
Dim sum is not too taboo in terms of types, but the number is mostly singular.
Among the five elements, the odd number is yang, the even number is yin, the tomb is already feminine, the sacrifices offered must be masculine, and the yin and yang are in harmony, so as to ensure the peace of the family's house.
Su Xiaoxiao made sweet barley, carrot cake and jujube cake, Su Ergou helped her, and the sister and brother cooperated tacitly. When the steward Yu came to ask about how long it would take to bake, Su Xiaoxiao was already loading the plate.
The refreshing aroma permeated the whole room.
Yu Guanshi swallowed.
Where did someone make sacrifices so fragrant?
Generally people think that offerings are not meant for people to eat, and the meaning is enough. In terms of taste, it is a lot worse than the dim sum sold in the market.
drooling at the steward's saliva.
Mother, this is to make ghosts cry...
If it weren't for these, he would have to take them to his ancestors first, and he would have wanted to taste them first.
He touched the corner of his mouth and made sure there was no drool left, so he calmed down and said to Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou: "You two have worked hard, I will arrange for someone to pick it up."
"Yu steward." Su Ergou stopped him.
Director Yu asked warmly, "Little Brother Su, what's the matter?"
Su Ergou felt that this big family was easy to get along with, and the people he dealt with were very polite, unlike the Qi and Wang families in the past, each with their nostrils turned upside down.
Su Ergou said: "Do you sell your mountain spring water? Can I buy two buckets and go back?"
Director Yu made the kid's serious look amused: "Not for sale."
"Ah..." Su Ergou was disappointed.
"But." Steward Yu held back his laugh and said to Su Ergou, "The mountain spring water can be given to those who are destined to take it home. Brother Su wants to bring back as much as he wants, just pretend to be."
Su Ergou scratched his head: "I'm so sorry..."
After thinking about it, he took out an oiled paper bag from his arms and handed it to the steward, "Er dog cake, for you."
Today is to make sacrifices, you can do it all at once, you dont have to have one meal at noon and another meal at night like a banquet.
"Sister, are we done?" Su Ergou asked.
Su Xiaoxiao said: "The sacrifices are finished. The desserts for the banquet in the next two days must be made first and let people try them out."
"Oh."
"Are you sleepy? Would you like to go to the chair to catch up? I don't need to fight here."
Just make samples, the amount is not large, she can do it herself.
"I'm not sleepy." Su Ergou shook his head, walked to the stool and lay down for an hour.
The ancestor worship over there has been finished.
Su Ergou rubbed his eyes: "Sister, why are you still making snacks?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "There is still a little fermented dough left, it would be a waste not to make it, are you hungry?"
"Not very hungry." Su Ergou sat up, "I'll go get some spring water!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked around and couldn't see shopkeeper Sun, so don't guess, he must be looking for another opportunity to attract business.
Su Ergou picked up a pole, hung up two empty buckets, and swooped in the direction of the mountain spring!
He came to the spring, and first he drank happily, and then took out the bucket to pick it up.
The flow of mountain spring water is slow, and it takes a long time to pick up a bucket.
While waiting, he crouched on the ground and drew circles.
"Hey, who! Come here!"
Not far away, a man spoke.
"What about you!"
Su Ergou raised his head and looked at him blankly.
"Yes, it's you! Come here!" The man waved at Su Ergou.
The man is in his early twenties, and looks like a servant of a big family.
Su Ergou glanced at it and only filled less than half of the bucket, got up and walked over: "Why?"
The little boy put down the cart in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "The cart seems to be broken, it can't be pushed, you help me."
"Is it broken? Let Rang." After Su Ergou came to the cart, he grabbed it with both hands and gently lifted it, "Isn't this good?"
The little servant was startled.
But when it was the boy's turn to push, the boy couldn't do it again. He either couldn't push it or overturned the car. Fortunately, the cage above was tied with ropes, otherwise it would have been scattered all over the place.
"You, you push!" said the little servant angrily.
"Then you wait." Su Ergou ran to the mountain spring, removed the full bucket, and put an empty bucket to continue picking up.
When the servant saw that he was dipping the mountain spring, he thought he was the servant of the ancestral hall of the Su family. When Su Ergou pushed the cart into the back door of the courtyard, the servant asked him to help unload the goods together.
Su Ergou didn't say anything and helped him unload it.
Su Ergou had just turned fourteen, but he was stronger than the little servant. He moved several large and heavy boxes down and landed lightly.
"You boy, yes." The servant patted his shoulder in admiration, "What's your name?"
"Su Ergou."
"Have a child?" the boy asked.
"What?" Su Ergou didn't understand.
Many domestic slaves will be given the surname of the master, and this kind of servant has a higher status than the servant bought from outside.
The little servant can't use him at will, and is about to let him go.
Suddenly, a handsome young man strode over.
He looked about the same age as Su Ergou, dressed luxuriously, and had the arrogance of an aristocratic son in his eyebrows.
The little servant hurriedly bowed and gave a salute: "Little Master!"
Seeing that Su Ergou didn't move, he calmly dragged Su Ergou.
Su Ergou: "Why?"
The little servant took a deep breath, this silly boy, the young master is here, why don't you hurry up and salute?
The young man ignored the two servants at all, and turned to the commander behind him and instructed: "Bring my horse, I want to go hunting in the mountains!"
Changsui looked embarrassed: "Little Master, this... is not good? It's very dangerous in the mountains."
The teenager snorted coldly: "You stay here for fear of danger! I'll find someone else!"
long followed: "Little Master!"
The young man's eyes swept lightly, raised his chin, and said frivolously: "Whoever goes hunting with this young master, one person and twelve!"
The little servant immediately said: "Little Master! The little one is willing to go with you!"
The boy looked at him, and then at Su Ergou who was beside him: "What about you? Are you not going? Are you afraid of danger?"
Su Ergou is not afraid of danger, but he is fetching water.
However, the water can be pumped later, and the mountain spring can't run away anyway.
"Can I go?" Su Ergou asked.
Sister said, he can't run around, he has to ask the owner's consent, this young man should be the master here, right?
The young man said lightly, "Just don't be afraid."
Su Ergou said: "I'm not afraid!"
The boy threw the whip to Su Ergou: "Lead the horse."
Su Ergou: "I won't."
The little servant hurriedly brought the whip over and smiled brightly: "Xiaohui, Xiaobian will bring you a horse!"
The boy snorted coldly, stepped on the stirrup, and got on the horse neatly.
There will be one more later
