The worship ceremony before the formal opening of the cellar must be very grand.
For Zhang Chao, although he does not believe in God, he respects these traditional customs.
He also intended to take this opportunity to make his father happy.
Cellaring, for many people in this era, especially some ordinary people, is a rare event in life, even more important than getting married.
After all, almost every man will marry, but many people may not be able to make a new cellar for generations.
Dad turned out to be not from Zhangjiagou, he settled here, and he also started anew.
It turned out that they lived in someone else's old cellar, and now they have built a new cellar, and they will be the real Zhang family from now on.
Invite the Taoist priest to count the auspicious day, and invite someone to dance the Nu dance.
Of course, you have to set up a banquet and wine, and you have to kill pigs and sheep.
"To set up a flowing water mat, not only the cellar builder who repairs the cellar must be invited, but also the helper who repairs the cellar must be invited."
Dad took this matter very seriously, and he squatted on the edge of the foundation of the new kiln, looking at the rammed foundation with an excited expression.
Zhang Chao also squatted to the side, nodding from time to time.
"Dad, I think we should just invite the whole village."
"It's okay for the whole village."
Daddy hesitated, but finally agreed.
Inviting so many customers is not a small expense, but thinking that I have made money by making pastries and so on during this time, my father didn't think about picking it.
It's rare to be lively, just be lively, and it can be regarded as thanking the villagers in the countryside, and the Zhang family will officially take root here in the future.
"Why don't we invite all our tenants to dinner."
Zhang Chao said again.
Before the crossing, Zhang Chao had always thought that the relationship between the landlord and the tenant farmer was therefore tense and insoluble.
The landlord should be a character like Huang Shiren and Zhou Papi, and they can't wait to suck blood and peel their skin.
The tenants must have hated the landlord to death, but when he came to the Tang Dynasty and became a member of the landlord's family, he found that things were not so absolute.
The relationship between landlords and tenant farmers was more like the relationship between the owners and employees of the company in later generations.
There must be landlords like Huang Shiren, just like there were some rather harsh and stingy bosses in later generations.
But for the most part, the relationship between the landlords and the tenant farmers was good.
Tenants rent the landlord's land, farm and pay rent, and usually have to undertake some tasks, such as doing some work for the landlord's family.
And the landlord not only has rights but also obligations to the tenants.
For example, when a tenant has a three-calamity and two diseases, he has to help one or two when he should help him, and sometimes the landlord even has to give some gifts to the tenant farmers to express his expression.
And the tenants usually have some seasonal fresh vegetables or something, and they will often pick some and send them to the landlord's house.
For example, if a family catches a few fish and catches some game, sometimes it will be sent directly to the landlord's house, and the landlord's family will not ask for it in vain, and generally spend some money to buy it.
Zhang Chao's family has more than 500 acres of land, and all of them have gone out.
The tenants also signed a contract, and changed the rent in kind to a fixed rent, which was actually a great reduction in rent, and the tenants were very grateful to the Zhang family and his son.
Zhang Chao also planned to develop the cattle raising business in the future, giving the cattle to the tenants to raise and lend them for use when farming.
This is also a mutually beneficial way to kill two birds with one stone, in addition, many of the Zhang family's businesses are also very manpower-intensive, and there are not so many migrant workers these years, and many times they still have to rely on these nearby neighbors.
In later generations, many large enterprises paid attention to corporate culture, focusing on the attractiveness of an enterprise and the people it can retain.
Zhang Chao also hopes that he can have a better relationship with the tenants and the neighbors, and it will be mutually beneficial.
Inviting the tenants to dinner at a small cost can strengthen the relationship between the two parties.
More than 500 acres of land were also tenanted to dozens of families in several Zhuangzi.
"Yes, please have a meal together, and they will start renting our land from next year."
Zhang Chao roughly calculated that after the Zhang family recruited full of employees, there would be no less than 500 people, of which about 300 were from Zhangjiagou villagers, and about 200 were from other villages.
In addition, if you really want to invite tenants and so on, it is estimated that there will be as many as seven or eight hundred people.
"Kill a few more pigs, and let's make eight bowls of noodles."
"There are three meals, in the morning it is a temporary meal to welcome guests, at noon is a main meal, and in the afternoon it is a casual meal."
"Okay, we should buy pigs, we should buy sheep, we should buy sheep, let's not be ambiguous this time."
Dad nodded, "By the way, you have to send a post to your stepfather and them in advance, and invite them to come and sit down at that time, and the Cui family had better send a post too." ” After the general negotiation, Zhang Chao began to go back to writing the menu.

Since you want to be lively, you can't be afraid of spending money, the people in the countryside are like this, even if they live a tight life in normal times, but once it is a big event like building a house and getting married, they still have to be pompous.
Many people have simple and simple ideas, thinking that people live a lifetime, just live a face.
When it is time to pay attention, we must not be stingy and must not lose face.
Eight large bowls of mat noodles should be said to have exceeded the level of banquets in the countryside.
Zhang Chao plans to use four big bowls.
Spread out the blank paper, Zhang Chao put pen to paper and wrote down Siying, chicken, duck and fish.
Simple, yet atmospheric.
Each table has four lingerings, and the chicken, duck and fish meat are exactly four lingering.
"Chicken is saliva, duck is roast duck, fish is sauerkraut fish, and as for meat, braised pork is used.
Four dishes, all of which are delicious.
Zhang Chao said to himself as he wrote.
As for the four vegetarians, it is simple, you can use pork ribs to stew winter melon, pork stewed vermicelli, radish fried meat, and meat foamed tofu.
These four dishes are not vegan either, they can also be considered meat dishes.
You can also make eight dishes after four lingering vegetables, which can be cold vegetables and dried fruits.
Tofu skin, 1,000 pieces of silk, sour radish, mixed bamboo shoots, and fried broad beans, fried soybeans, sunflower seeds, pine seeds, exactly eight plates.
After writing the menu, Zhang Chao calculated that the most ingredients used were pork, and one serving of other chickens, ducks and fish was good.
After all, the morning and evening meals are not considered a full meal, the morning meal can be ordered with pork and vegetables, and the afternoon meal can be left over from the noon meal and add some fried meat or something.
"Five hundred catties of pork may not be enough, so just budget a little more.
Killing three big fat pigs of about 300 catties is almost enough. ” Qin Dare closed Zhang Chao's menu, his eyes showed surprise, "According to the size of a thousand people, this flowing water mat is a bit big."
There are more than 1,000 catties of pork alone, and 100 chickens, ducks and fish, and there are few in Chang'an City that are so generous, with eight bowls and eight dishes. ” Cheng Chumo looked at the dishes of sauerkraut fish, saliva chicken, and braised pork and was puzzled, "What kind of dishes are these, I haven't heard of them."
"Don't worry, you'll like it when you eat it.
Now, Brother Dare, you take a few people to the nearby countryside to buy chickens, ducks and fish, and I will collect the pigs. ” Chickens and ducks are almost raised by almost every family in the countryside, so they can be collected directly, and the fish should be booked in advance to the fishermen's houses on the edge of the Bahe River and the Wei River, so that the fish will be fresh.
As for pigs, almost every family in the countryside raises them.
After the division of labor, Zhang Chao brought the bolts, and they went to collect pigs in the village.
Zhang Chao's family went to see it, as long as the big fat pig was more than 300 catties, such pigs had been raised for a long time and were the fattest.
It didn't take much effort to find three suitable pigs.
Pig is cheaper, and it is cheaper than mutton.
Recently, the price of grain has been falling, and the price of pork has also begun to fall, so Zhang Chao directly bought it according to the price of live pigs in Chang'an City.
The price of hogs is much cheaper than the price of pork, almost half the price of pork.
Now the price of rice in Chang'an City is 150 wen for rice, which is almost 15 wen for a catty.
The price of a pound of pork is almost four pounds of rice, and now the market is 60 wen a pound of pork, while the pig is only 30 wen a catty.
The big carp sold in Chang'an is the same price as pork, a live fat chicken is almost 100 wen a piece, a duck is cheaper, but a goose is more expensive, and a big goose can be worth three chickens.
This price has fallen quite sharply, and since Chang'an has been closing the grain position, all kinds of prices have been falling rapidly.
Selling pigs is also a lively affair, and the owner of the pig calls his brothers to catch the pigs together.
In the narrow pigsty, the ears were scratched, the tails were pulled, the feet were scratched, and in the screams of the pigs, the pigs were finally put down, and the pigs were successfully tied up with hemp ropes, and everyone lifted the pigs out of the pen.
Outside the house, the big pole weighed the pig, and a group of men, women and children stared at the star.
Zhang Chao didn't think about taking advantage, so he let the tail sink immediately after letting go, and only after everyone recognized the number of catties did he register the number.
"Three hundred and twenty-eight pounds."
"Thirty pounds of hairy pigs, just nine thousand eight hundred and fifty-five yuan."
A big fat pig is sold for half an old crossbow.
When the pig owner heard the number, he laughed, and the hostess of the house smiled with satisfaction, and several siblings who often went to the pigweed also laughed together.
This pig, for the family, is the crystallization of more than a year of hard work.
Among them, it also cost a lot of money to buy piglets, the family took care of them carefully, the children pulled the pigweed every day, and the wife had to chop the grass every day to cook pig food and feed, and had to often clean up the pigsty, take care of it every day, more than a year, and finally sold it out of the circle.
Although the price of pigs has dropped, they can still get more than a dozen yuan, which makes them very happy.
"Brother Wen Yuan, they heard that you are going to collect pigs, so they deliberately cooked another meal of pig food and fed it to the pigs just now, at least adding ten catties more."

Ke Xiaoba told Zhang Chao with a straight face.
Zhang Chao just smiled, this can be regarded as a characteristic of Chinese-style farmers, the farmer's cleverness, but Zhang Chao doesn't care, just take advantage of it.
"Nine thousand eight hundred and fifty-five dollars, Uncle Hosoliu, you can come to my house to settle the money in a while."
"You can settle the money today" "Well, it's over today."
A few rounds of money, Zhang Chao can take it out at any time, there is no need to drag it.
People have been raising a pig for almost two years, and it is also very hard.
"Let's take the pig home and kill the pig." t1706231537:
