Chapter 329: Heavenly Delight Food
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
Today was the day for the beam-raising on Madam Xie's new house, and the village was extraordinarily lively, especially the children, who had gathered in groups early in the morning around the new house, eagerly waiting for the beam-raising Shichen Chinese Time to arrive.
The beam-raising would only officially begin after the sound of firecrackers.
As per the custom of the time, whenever a villager built a new house, on the day of the beam-raising, the mason masters would climb to the high parts of the house and throw snacks and other foods below. The families of the village were not wealthy, and children normally had no snacks to eat, so the beam-raising day of any new house was the happiest day for children as it meant they got the chance to have some snacks.
