The man has always kept a gift list and a gift box, which was taken to the woman's house by someone under the escort of the matchmaker and mortgagor. The woman returns the food in the dowry to the man as a gift. Or the woman will give clothes, shoes and socks as gifts to the man. The number and types of bride price should be auspicious, and the number should be double taboo, such as ten heads of silk and paired deerskin.
