MURAH REZEKI

My Malay friends like to wish each other "murah rezeki".  This actually gives the idea that one would find it easy to earn a living or to get extra money or other rewards.
One of the rituals that I did immediately after praying to the earth deity was to use my trolley to cart in 6 items for the house, rice, vinegar, tea leaves, oil, sauce and salt.  I later went and bought a packet of charcoal and placed it under the sink.  So I have seven items that are used for cooking. 
By symbolically bringing this 7 items, the owner (that is me) would always find it easy to earn a living and the pantry would always be full.
