Chapter 310: Sacrificial Stove
Therefore, people will sacrifice to the god of the stove every year, bribe the god of the stove, let him get drunk to heaven, do not talk about the short and long of the world, and it is best to bring some money to share when he returns.
The sacrificial stove is not only to protect against disasters, but more importantly, to pray for blessings.
Although Shen Qing was an atheist, he didn't believe much in the existence of the Stove God. But with a sense of awe, she will not deliberately sabotage the activities of sacrificing to the god of the hearth.
What if there really is a Vesta God?
She can come to this strange ancient world, and the magical thing like the Stove God does not mean that there is none!
The altar of the king of the stove is set up on the north or east side of the stove room, and the statue of the king of the stove is offered in the middle.
Poor families like the Lu family don't have a statue of the Lord of the Stove, so they can only buy a portrait of the Lord of the Stove and stick it on the wall.
Some of the statues depict the Lord of the Stove alone, while others have men and women, and the goddess is called the Grandma of the King of the Stove.
The ritual is generally performed at night, and the dust is swept during the day.
Not only the stove room should be cleaned, but the whole house should be cleaned. Sweep away all the dust that has accumulated for a year.
To sweep the dust in Baoyan Village, it is to look at a pile of bamboos with a sickle, tie up the bamboo branches and leaves, tie them into a big broom, and fix them. Then take a bamboo leaf broom and sweep the wall to sweep away the dust or cobwebs.
After sweeping, you should carry water to clean all the tables, chairs, cabinets and other furniture in the house, and after cleaning, put the dirty clothes in the back basket, and wait until the twenty-seventh or twenty-eighth of the lunar month, and carry them to the drain to wash!
To worship the god of the stove, a lot of sacrificial stove foods should be prepared, such as sugar cakes, oil cakes, fruits, melon seeds, peanuts, etc.
The person who sacrificed the stove was Han Yunwen's eldest brother, and he knelt in front of the statue of the god of the stove with his attack. After burning incense, the house is filled with cigarette smoke and is full of mystery. Then Han Yunwen poured wine and kowtowed, and there were words in his mouth.
After reading it, Han Yunwen shouted, "Lead!" Then the heavenly rescue poured the chicken head, the chicken head fluttered a few times, and made a sound, and Han Yunwen's face suddenly put a shallow smile on his face.
Later, Shen Qing learned that the sound of the chicken's head fluttering showed that the prince of the stove had already appreciated it. If the chicken's head doesn't move, you have to continue pouring the wine until you know that the chicken's head moves!
The Han family is very stable and peaceful, full of warm feelings.
But the Liu family is different.
After Liu Zhongtian finished sacrificing to the god of the stove, he asked Han Xinghua and Mrs. Han to kneel in front of the god of the stove and kowtow to the god of the stove, and they had to kowtow until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
Liu Zhongtian knew that he had done a lot of bad things in his life, and if he didn't seal the mouth of the Stove God, he would definitely complain to the Jade Emperor.
Then next year, he won't want to have a good life.
But kneeling and kowtowing must be sincere.
Han Xinghua was very sincere, Mrs. Han kowtowed maliciously, kowtowed while scolding Liu Zhongtian angrily in her heart, looking at the eyes of the Stove God, full of complaints, as if everything was caused by the Stove God harming her.
"Mother, you pay a little attention, don't be discovered by Xianggong, otherwise you will be in trouble!" Han Xinghua inadvertently glanced at Mrs. Han's resentful eyes, and couldn't help but shudder, "Seeing that the New Year is coming in a few days, in order to be able to celebrate the New Year in peace, let's be honest, don't make Xianggong angry, if Xianggong is angry, tonight, maybe there will be no food in the next few days!" ”
Mrs. Han retracted her eyes unhappily and said, "It's all your fault for this useless thing, if it weren't for you, my mother would have ended up like this?" I don't want to think about my mother's age, and my body bones are getting worse and worse, let me kneel on the cold ground and kowtow, my mother will be tortured to death by you sooner or later! ”
