Chapter 88 A Different Second Uncle
When Zhang Fu arranged for 300 families and 500 orphans to move, Zhang Junping had to come to the cattle farm outside the city.
The second uncle was a little stunned, he had been in the cattle farm for more than a month and had not gone home, and the aunts in the backyard were a little dissatisfied, and they found Zhang Junping to knock on the side and cry.
It means that although the second uncle Zhang Jianzhong slept all day long, he could still see people every day or two, but now he hasn't seen anyone for more than a month, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.
Faced with the grievances of the aunts crying and crying, Zhang Junping could only put down what he was doing and ran to the cattle farm to find his second uncle.
In the era when filial piety was the first, Zhang Junping's grandfather left his last words, not allowed to separate the family, and Zhang Junping could only try his best to maintain the peace of the family.
Twenty miles out of the West City Gate, there is a farm by Bianshui, and the 1,500 acres of land around the farm belong to the Zhang family.
Zhang Jianzhong's cattle farm is also in this farm, Zhang Junping rode all the way to the farm, came to the farm, and saw a large number of fences fenced outside the farm, in the fence hundreds of cattle were leisurely walking and grazing.
The farm is not very far from the barracks of the forbidden army, and the safety is guaranteed, so you don't have to worry about peeking into the cattle farm.
Therefore, in addition to the tenants, only five old family members were arranged here to serve as guards.
When he arrived at the fence, he pulled the reins, and the black horse stopped steadily, and Zhang Junping turned over and dismounted.
The sound of the war horse running just now had already alarmed the people in the cattle farm.
"I've seen Lang Jun!" An old man who was transferred to assist Zhang Jianzhong hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Where's my second uncle?" Zhang Junping handed the black horse to the family and asked casually.
"The second master is inside!"
"Dalang! Why is Da Lang here? Zhang Jianzhong also heard the sound, and when he saw Zhang Junping, he asked with a smile on his face.
"The second father hasn't been home for more than a month, and the little nephew is not at ease, come and have a look!"
"Haha! I'm so good! Don't worry! Zhang Jianzhong laughed, full of laughter.
Seeing the second father's complexion, the little nephew was relieved!
However, the second father still has to go home often, so as not to worry about the aunt! Zhang Junping looked his second uncle Zhang Jianzhong up and down.
I haven't seen him for more than a month, the second uncle has darkened a lot and lost a lot of weight, but he is also much more energetic than before.
"I'll be back tomorrow!
Da Lang, you came just in time, look at my new cattle king! Tomorrow's bullfighting, I have to be! Zhang Jianzhong replied with a big grin, and then pulled Zhang Junping to talk about the bullfight he had carefully prepared.
After two months of preparation, the bullfight competition finally officially began.
Tomorrow is the first bullfight.
The matter of starting the bullfighting competition tomorrow has spread all over the streets and alleys, even if Zhang Junping does not pay attention to it, all kinds of news will take the initiative to drill into his ears.
Even Zhao Zhen pulled Zhang Junping this morning and asked a lot about the bullfighting competition.
The forbidden army guard of Qingning Palace also pulled Zhang Junping to ask for inside information.
Most of the forbidden army shifts are held by the children of powerful people, and they naturally have channels to know that Zhang Junping is also one of the organizers.
It's just that Zhang Junping is only responsible for coming up with ideas, and after making ideas, he threw all the bullfighting competitions to Liu Congjian and Cao Li, and never asked again, how could he know any inside information.
Zhang Junping naturally knows what their so-called inside information is, and tomorrow there will be ten cows to participate in the competition, and the final winner of the qualifiers will be determined, and the winner of the qualifiers will be awarded ten yuan.
But that's not the point, the point is on the periphery betting bulls, one to ten, as long as you buy, you can win several times the bet.
The first to the tenth bull are marked with different odds, the lowest odds are one to one, and the highest odds are more than one to thirty.
The Great Song Dynasty forbade gambling, but the Great Song Dynasty people were good at gambling, from the princes and nobles to the peddlers and pawns, and there was no bad gambling.
More than a dozen betting points in Kaifeng Mansion were surrounded by bettors.
"Da Lang, take a look, look, how is this cow? I dare not say that the championship is the winner, and there is definitely no problem with the semi-final winner! Zhang Jianzhong's face was full of excitement, and he took Zhang Junping's hand and chattered endlessly.
Following Zhang Jianzhong's fingers, Zhang Junping saw a huge and sturdy black cow, all black, like a black satin, shining in the sun, a pair of horns, exuding a faint cold light, it was indeed a rare good cow.
"Second Daddy, this cow is really good! The body is slender, the limbs are strong, the coat color is smooth and supple, and the eyes are bright and bright! I think tomorrow's champion will be the winner! "It's rare for the second uncle to do something serious, Zhang Junping naturally can't hit him, so he commented on his words.
"Hahaha! Da Lang, our uncle and nephew are really heroes, and they see the same thing! With the approval of his nephew, Zhang Jianzhong laughed happily.
"Second Daddy, I put my heart into raising cattle, these cows, all of them are good cows with strong physique! The calves that will be born in the future will be stronger than their parents!
It's just that while it's important to train a bullfight, so is the family!
Home and everything is prosperous, if a man wants to achieve a career, he can't do without the peace of the house!
The second father still has to spend more time with his aunt and younger brothers and sisters! After Zhang Junping finished praising him, he smiled and persuaded again.
"Good, good! I'll go home tomorrow when the bullfight is over! Zhang Jianzhong didn't dare to refute his nephew's words, so he could only nod his head in agreement.
"Tomorrow's bullfighting competition, the second father can ask Cao Li to leave some seats and take his aunt and them to watch the bullfighting competition!
Wouldn't it be better for the aunts to see with their own eyes the results of the second father's hard work, and to see the cow raised by the second father win the championship? Zhang Junping suggested with a smile.
"Huh? Dalang's method is good! I'm going to tell Cao Li to leave a seat!
Let your aunt take a look at it, take a good look! The province is always nagging me not to do business! After listening to Zhang Junping's suggestion, Zhang Jianzhong's eyes suddenly lit up with excitement, and he turned around and was about to ride a horse to find Cao Li.
Men inevitably like to show off their great achievements in front of women, this is the eternal theorem, even some animals, like to show their strong side in front of females.
"Second father, don't worry, when I go back later, just ask Cao Li to explain!
As long as the second father comes home early tomorrow and picks up his aunt to go with him! Zhang Junping hurriedly grabbed Zhang Jianzhong.
"Then early tomorrow morning, after I settle down the Black King, I'll pick up your aunts and them!" Zhang Jianzhong gave up.
After chatting with his second uncle Zhang Jianzhong for a few more words, Zhang Junping said goodbye and left.
The horses came to another farm, and the other farm was on the banks of the Cai River, thirty miles outside the south city gate.
The three farms of the Zhang family are not far from Kaifeng Fucheng, and the locations are all very good, all of them are close to the river, in the parlance of this era, they are all high-quality fertile land.
