【When to give a red envelope when installing the stove】
The red envelope for the renovation start should be given the day before the work begins. If you need to renovate a new house, you must contact the decoration company in advance and know the boss, foreman, and craftsmen. On the day before the renovation starts, when materials are delivered, give the craftsmen a red envelope. It doesn't need to be large; it's just a gesture. Some people give 10 yuan, some 20 yuan, and maybe a little more.
A stove facing west brings wealth unknown to anyone
The saying goes that "a stove facing west brings wealth unknown to anyone," meaning that placing the stove in the western direction is very beneficial for the development of one's fortune. This is actually not true. In the kitchen, the west belongs to fire, and if the stove, which is also fire, is placed in the west, it may cause an imbalance in the five elements. Therefore, the stove position is generally not set to face west.
