Chapter 88 A Different Uncle
Zhang Fu arranged for 300 family members and 500 orphans to move, Zhang Junping had to come to the cattle farm outside the city.
The second uncle was a little crazy and had been staying in the cattle farm for more than a month and had not returned home. The aunts in the backyard were a little dissatisfied and found Zhang Junping and cried indirectly.
It means that although the second uncle Zhang Jianzhong used to sleep in flowers and willows all day, he could still see people a day or two. Now he hasn't seen anyone for more than a month, and he doesn't know whether he lives or not.
Faced with the crying and grievances of the aunts, Zhang Junping had no choice but to put down his work and ran to the cattle farm to find his second uncle.
In the era when the word "filial piety first", Zhang Junping's grandfather left a last word and was not allowed to separate the family. Zhang Junping could only try his best to maintain peace in the family.
Twenty miles from the west city gate, there is a farmhouse next to the Bian River. The 1,500 acres of land around the farm belong to the Zhang family.
The cattle farm built by Zhang Jianzhong is also in this farm. Zhang Junping rode his horse and walked around the farm. When he arrived near the farm, he saw a large number of fences fences outside the farm. Hundreds of cows were walking leisurely and grazing.
This farm is not very far from the Imperial Guards' barracks, and it is safe and there is no need to worry about peeking at the cattle farm.
Therefore, except for the tenants, only five old servants were arranged to serve as guards here.
When he arrived at the fence, he tied the reins and the black horse stopped steadily. Only then did Zhang Junping turn over and get off the horse.
The sound of the horses running just now has already alarmed the people in the cattle farm.
"I've seen Mr. Lang!" A native of the family who was transferred to assist Zhang Jianzhong hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Where is my second uncle?" Zhang Junping handed the black horse to his servants and asked casually.
"The second master is inside!"
"Da Lang! Why is Da Lang coming?" Zhang Jianzhong also came out and saw Zhang Junping, asking with a smile on his face.
"The second father hasn't been home for more than a month. My nephew is worried, come and have a look!"
"Haha! I'm very good! Dalang doesn't have to worry!" Zhang Jianzhong laughed loudly, his laughter full of energy.
"I feel relieved when I see my second father's complexion!
However, the second father still has to go home often to avoid worrying about his aunt and the others!” Zhang Junping looked up and down at his second uncle Zhang Jianzhong.
I haven't seen each other for more than a month. My second uncle has become much darker and has lost a lot of weight, but I am much more energetic than before. It can be seen that these days, my second uncle has really devoted himself to the cattle farm and has not been to the raft.
“I’ll go back tomorrow!
Dalang, you are here just right, look at my newly acquired bull king! I will fight tomorrow's bulls!" Zhang Jianzhong replied carelessly, then pulled Zhang Junping to talk about the carefully prepared bullfighting.
After two months of preparation, the bullfighting competition finally officially started.
Tomorrow is the first bullfighting game.
The matter about the bullfighting competition tomorrow has spread all over the streets and alleys. Even if Zhang Junping didn't pay attention, all kinds of news would 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 imperial guards guarding Qingning Palace also pulled Zhang Junping to ask about inside information.
Most of the imperial guards are held by the children of powerful men, so they naturally have a way to know that Zhang Junping is also one of the organizers.
However, Zhang Junping was only responsible for giving advice. After giving advice, he threw all the bullfighting matches to Liu Congjian and Cao Li, and never asked about them again. How could he know any insider information?
Zhang Junping naturally knew what they called insider information. Tomorrow, ten cows will participate in the competition and finally decide the qualifier championship, and the qualifier championship prize will be 10 cents.
But this is not the point. The point is to bet outside. Once you buy it from the tenth, you can win several times the bet.
The number one to the tenth bulls are marked with different odds, with the lowest odds one to one and the highest odds one to thirty.
Gambling was banned in the Song Dynasty, but the people of the Song Dynasty were fond of gambling. From princes and nobles to peddlers and pawns, there were no ones who were not fond of gambling.
More than a dozen betting points in Kaifeng Prefecture were surrounded by betting people.
"Dalang, look, look, how is this bull? I dare not say the championship, there is definitely no problem with the championship in the rematch!" Zhang Jianzhong was full of excitement and held Zhang Junping's hand and said nothing.
Following Zhang Jianzhong's fingers, Zhang Junping saw a huge and strong black cow, all black, like a black satin, shining in the sun, and a pair of horns emitting a faint cold light. He was indeed a rare good cow.
"Second Dad, this cow is really good! It has long body, strong limbs, smooth and smooth fur, and bright eyes! I think it is the champion tomorrow!" Uncle Second had a rare job, so Zhang Junping could not hit him, so he commented according to his words.
"Hahaha! Dalang, our uncle and nephew are indeed heroes who have the same views!" Zhang Jianzhong laughed happily after receiving his nephew's recognition.
"Second Daddy, he has put his heart into raising cattle. These cattle are all good and strong! The calf born in the future will definitely be stronger than their parents!
However, it is important to cultivate bullfighting, but family is equally important!
Everything will be prosperous when family harmony is harmonious. If a man wants to achieve a career, he cannot do without peace in his home!
Second Daddy still needs to spend more time with his aunt and younger brothers and sisters!" Zhang Junping praised and persuaded with a smile.
"Okay, okay! I'll go home after the bullfight tomorrow!" Zhang Jianzhong did not dare to refute his nephew's words, so he could only nod and agree.
"Tomorrow's bullfighting competition, the second father can let Cao Li leave some seats and take his aunt and the others to watch the bullfighting competition!
Isn’t it better to let my aunts see the second father come in and try harder, 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'll tell Cao Li to leave a seat!
Let your aunt take a look and have a good look! I will keep nagging me and not doing serious business!" After hearing Zhang Junping's suggestion, Zhang Jianzhong's eyes were lit up with excitement, and he turned around and rode a horse to find Cao Li.
Men always like to show off their great achievements in front of women. This is the ancient theorem. Even some animals like to show their strong side in front of females.
"Dad, don't worry, when I go back later, just ask Cao Li to explain!
As long as the second father comes home early tomorrow, he will pick up his aunt with him!" Zhang Junping hurriedly grabbed Zhang Jianzhong.
"I will go to pick up your aunt and the others tomorrow morning after I settled down the Black King!" Zhang Jianzhong gave up.
After chatting with his second uncle Zhang Jianzhong for a few more words, Zhang Junping said goodbye and left.
Take a horse and come to another farm, which is located on the banks of the Cai River thirty miles outside the south city gate.
