Chapter 24: The Tragic Landlord Young Master
Yun Zhao has read the account book.
The Yun family is a very wealthy landlord family.
It was also determined that the debt of ten thousand taels of silver was a large amount for the Yun family, but it was definitely not so large that it would require all the mother's dowry to be included in it.
In addition to owning land, the Yun family also has four grain stores in Chang'an. The Yun family's annual output, except for rations, is basically sold.
My mother's dowry also included a silk and satin shop. I didn't see Yun raising silkworms, but the business of the silk and satin shop seemed to be very good from the account books.
In this way, the Yun family can definitely be regarded as a wealthy family in Guanzhong. In this case, Yun Zhao wants to know why he eats more whole grains than fine grains every day.
The Yun family has a grain store... or four! ! !
Why is it that the best clothes I have are only linen, that is, damn linen, or at most better quality linen?
The Yun family has a silk and satin shop... Where is the food? What about satin? Where's the money?
I didn’t see any huge expenses!
Dinner is still noodles... covered with a thin slice of salt-fried meat...
The noodles my mother ate were not covered with meat slices, only a few plain wild vegetables.
Fu Bo ate millet rice covered with a thick layer of green wild vegetables.
Both the mother and Uncle Fu seemed to be satisfied with the current situation, but Yun Zhao was not.
He has long thought about the life of a real eldest son of a landlord.
"Mom, I want to eat pork bones."
"Why don't you eat pork bones if you don't have time to eat them?" Yun Niang lowered her head to eat noodles, making excessive demands on her son. He refused.
Yun Zhao wanted to push the black noodles away from him, but when he thought that doing so would lead to starvation at night, he lowered his head and started eating.
"You have been in good health recently, and your knowledge has also improved. It's time to take you to meet your grandpa, and by the way, go to Zhongnan Mountain to return the wish made by Jinxian Temple."
Yun Zhao glanced at his mother and said he understood.
"Don't roll your eyes in the future!"
Yun Zhao quickly agreed: "I know."
The nights in the Ming Dynasty were extremely boring, and when it got dark People usually go to bed.
And Yun Zhao had endless copies of "Hundred Family Surnames".
In the past, it would be eerily silent outside, but it was different these days. There would always be the sound of tinkling iron coming into the inner house.
The sound of blacksmithing is actually not loud, but in a quiet night, the sound will spread far away.
After Yun Zhao finished writing, the sound of blacksmithing continued. Liu Zongmin was a qualified blacksmith, which also showed that he was very strong.
The sound of Uncle Fu closing the door of the inner house was also heard, and then there was the sound of Uncle Fu kicking the servant, and the sound of the servant squeaking and complaining.
The big white geese were pacing in the yard. As long as the lights were on in the house, these two damn geese would not return to the pen.
Suddenly, it became noisy outside. Many people's voices were heard in a chaotic manner, and the big white geese were also quacking. Mother put on her coat and came to Yun Zhao's kang, listening carefully to what was going on outside.
After a while, I heard Uncle Fu say at the gate: "Madam, rest in peace. It's okay. It's a wild boar that came down the mountain to destroy the freshly planted seeds in the ground, and was caught by the villagers in a trap."
p>
Hearing this, Yun Zhao jumped up from the kang with a grunt, put on his clothes and ran out.
Yunniang, who had just settled down, said angrily: "It's a good thing that the wild boar was caught. Why are you running?"
Yunzhao hurriedly looked for shoes and said while putting them on: "I'm going to see if it's the wild boar I know."
Yun Niang was angry and shouted directly to Yun Fu outside the yard: "Give the villagers some money to buy the wild boar. We'll chew the bones tomorrow!"
Yun Zhao was horrified when he heard this. Those wild boars accompanied him through the most difficult days. It would be a lie to say that he had no feelings. Yun Zhao felt that eating them I may not be able to keep my mouth shut!
So he ignored Yun Niang’s call, opened the door and ran out.
Uncle Fu was standing in front of the gate. When he saw Yun Zhao coming out, he smiled and said, "I know you can't sit still, so go and see the excitement."
Yun's family Outside the mansion, the only one with lights on at this time was Liu Zongmin's blacksmith shop, so a large group of people gathered around the blacksmith shop to watch the excitement.
Liu Zongmin seemed to have no interest in wild boars and was still tinkering with the iron.
Uncle Fu went out and coughed, and the villagers moved out of the way.
One of the villagers with a bruised nose and face said with a smile: "Uncle Fu, look at it, it is such a big wild boar. It is not easy for everyone to catch this wild boar. Please reward Uncle Fu more."< /p>
Uncle Fu snorted and said: "This mountain belongs to the Yun family, and the wild boars naturally belong to the Yun family. Do you still have the nerve to ask for money?"
The words are not pleasant to the ears. , the few villagers who had caught the wild boar were all smiling. They had heard this kind of thing so many times that they could not count it.
Yun Zhao was very worried about the big sow. After all, she still had eight babies to feed. If she was caught today, she would be released to feed the babies no matter what.
There was a huge wild boar lying at the door of the blacksmith shop. It was tied tightly with a rope. It was neighing and struggling there. It was still pure black. It was the same as the family that Yun Zhao saw on Tushan Mountain. Pigs are completely different.
This wild boar is more like a domestic pig. After many people’s pigs run away, it won’t take long for them to look like this.
A long time ago, Yun Zhao went to station in a poor village on the edge of the forest. The wild boars there were all killed during difficult times. The wild boars that appeared later were actually domestic pigs.
The same is true for this one. Its mouth is not as long as that of a wild boar, its tusks are very short, there are no markings on its body, and its legs are long.It's just that the body shape is much slimmer than that of domestic pigs.
Yun Fu looked at Yun Zhao and said, "How about our family raises this pig?"
Before Yun Zhao opened his mouth, he noticed that saliva was flowing out first, so he wiped it away After salivating, he shouted: "I want to eat pig bones!"
Yunfu seemed a little disappointed, and said to several villagers angrily: "Then clean up quickly, I didn't hear the young master eating pigs!" Bones?"
The villagers shouted in unison, and someone immediately went to get something to kill the pig.
Liu Zongmin, who had just thrown the iron piece back into the stove, came over, kicked the wild boar and said, "Leave the pig skin to me."
Yunfu said with a smile, "This is It's an old pig, and its skin is so thick that it can't be eaten."
Liu Zongmin said: "Peer it and make clothes!"
Fu Bo nodded. : "I should be able to make a leather armor."
Liu Zongmin said nothing. Seeing that the iron was burning red again, he continued to forge the iron.
Killing pigs is not interesting, and Yun Zhao is not interested at all. There will be pork to eat tomorrow, and this is what interests him.
Based on his past experience of watching pigs being slaughtered in rural areas, he knows that people will never waste anything that can be used on pigs.
When Yun Fu saw Yun Zhao yawning and returned home, he smiled and said: "For five hundred coins, all I need at home is meat and suet, and the pig skins are for Liu Zongmin, and the rest is for you."
p>
Yun Zhao heard the cheers of the villagers and continued to yawn as he returned to the room, took off his clothes randomly and got under the quilt.
"Why, you don't plan to get a pig to raise at home?"
"There will be pig bones to eat tomorrow."
"Huh? Isn't that what you call yourself? A wild boar spirit? How come you don’t have the feeling of harming others?”
“You’ll know by the way I eat meat tomorrow that I don’t get the name of a wild boar spirit for nothing.”
< p>Yun Zhao muttered twice and covered his head with the quilt, not wanting to look at his mother's face that was full of petty intentions...A pig was clearly arranged in one night. .
Old pork is not delicious at all. As long as there is a little bit of gluten, you can’t chew it.
The most delicious heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were taken away by the villagers. The bloody neck and pig head were given to the butcher, and even the pig tail was taken away along with a pound of meat.
“Are all landlords fools?”
Yunzhao’s mother and son finally gave up after competing with the pork for a long time. They looked at the pork full of tooth marks in vain and didn’t know what to say. good.
Yun Niang curled her lips and said: "The villagers killed the wild boar, which means they protected the crops, so they should be rewarded. Our family has the most land, so we should pay.
Forget it, give your husband a pig leg and ask him to taste it."
The meat of this pig is very suitable for chewing slowly, not for feasting.
Yun Zhao thought that God was working against him. Ever since he became the eldest son of a landlord, he had never had a good meal.
However, he still packed a lot of pork. He didn't like it, but people like Yun Yang, Yun Shu, Yun Juan, Yun Shu, and Yun Fei would like it.
Today, Yun Zhao wanted to go to Yushan and see the place where Yunjuan picked up the magnet.
One dagger and three short knives were the results of two days of busy work by Liu Zongmin. However, iron sand could not withstand training. One hundred kilograms of iron sand could only make these three things in the end. With the teenagers expectations are far different.
The dagger is only one foot long, and the dagger is only one and a half feet long. Liu Zongmin made them as toys...
Fortunately, Yun Yang strongly asked Liu Zongmin to clamp these weapons with steel. , also tempered. According to Yun Zhao, these weapons are better than hoes, and better than hatchets commonly used by teenagers.
