Chinese dining table

Chapter 197 Finally a bit of a feudal master
Standing on the polo field at home, Yunchu was filled with emotion.

Looking at his own polo field, which was even more magnificent than that of that prodigal son Liang Jianfang, Yun Chu wanted to kill Liu Yi even more.

Because the polo field has no fixed area, Yun's polo field is limited to a square grid with a length of 100 meters and a width of [-] meters.

This is a standard six-person team, 12-person competition venue. Of course, if you think you are good, it is not impossible for one person to deal with six other people.

The smaller the field, the more intense the competition will be. Of course, this is incomparable to the Royal Polo Field. I heard that Li Zhi also has a polo field in Qujiang, which occupies about three miles... very suitable for cavalry troops Chase a wooden ball inside and fight. (Not nonsense, the reference is Fuzhou Tang Dynasty Yeshan Polo Field)

In the fourth year of Yonghui, there were more than 71 horses in Tang Dynasty.

The polo field of the Yun family is really good. The foundation is made of fire-fired soil and three-component soil, so no grass will grow, and because the loess is used to pour oil on ten layers, the ground is soft and moderate, and will not hurt the horses' hooves. The last layer is oil and The loess, which causes a fast horse to gallop here, does not raise dust.

As for nonsense such as light can tell people, it is a polite saying that Chang'an people occasionally see a little reflected oily light on the polo field.

Liu Yi not only built the polo field, but also built awnings around the polo field to facilitate the audience to watch the polo match.

The shed is very large, and the steps below are of different heights. It is not much different from the stadiums Yunchu has seen, and it is very creative.

On the back of the shed, many small open shops were built. Seeing this, Yunchu stopped complaining about Liu Yi spending too much money.

The ball horses used by Liu Yi for women to play are not much bigger than donkeys, and they look very docile. The biggest feature is that as long as the hollow wooden ball appears, these ball horses will stare at the wooden ball and charge towards the wooden ball. desire.

Two tall women with narrow waists, big buttocks, and a pair of bow legs are teaching a group of little girls including Naha, Dapang, and Yaoniang.

These two women will not be more than 25 years old, and their heads and faces are tanned by the sun. It is not an exaggeration to call them old mothers.

It can be seen that they worked very hard, their hair stuck to their foreheads with sweat, and their voices were a little hoarse. After seeing the Patriarch Yunchu coming over, they became more attentive, and they got on the horse to demonstrate. Controlling the reins, these ball horses can turn freely with only two legs.

A group of little girls like Naha and the others were clapping and shouting desperately.

"Is Mr. Lang satisfied?" Liu Yi smiled obscenely while standing beside Yunchu.

Yunchu looked at Cui Shi on the other side and said, "Can you guarantee that you will get back the money you invested? How long will it take to get it back?"

Cui said with a smile: "I have received the deposit of 160 pennies."

Yun Chu looked at Liu Yi wonderingly, "Deposit money?"

Liu Yi hurriedly said: "Miss Naha and the others haven't practiced well yet, and the polo field is temporarily unusable, so the villain discussed with Madam Cui and rented out the polo field according to the number of days, ten yuan a day, two days At that time, a deposit of 160 guan was collected.

The villain has the confidence to fill up the time of this month, and strive to rent for 30 days a month, and get back [-] Guan. In this way, in one year, our family can get back all the money invested. . "

Yun Chu said: "You think it's too beautiful, rainy day, snowy day, windy day, no one will come at this time."

Liu Yi said in surprise: "My lord, when it rains, snows, and winds, it's the time when God rewards our family with food. On such days, the rent will be doubled. Wind, rain The bigger the snow, the higher the rent.

If there is hail, God, if the villain does not raise the rent more than ten times, he will be considered a fool.

Sir, you don’t know the eccentricity of those rich people. In May of the 18th year of Zhenguan, there was a polo match in Zuowuwei. When the game was in full swing, hailstones the size of pigeon eggs suddenly fell from the sky. Ah, the armor of the smashed Jinwu guards rattled.

Everyone thought the game was about to end, but Emperor Taizong, who was watching the game at that time, looked at the sky and said: I don't accept it.

Then, Emperor Taizong changed his clothes and played polo. Not only him, but also the officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty who were present at the time asked to play.

The more intense the hailstorm was, the more intense the polo was played on the field. The spectators even tore down the sheds. No matter men or women, everyone stood in the hailstorm, cheering desperately.

As a result, before a polo game was over, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.

What's even more strange is that the hailstorm fell on Chang'an City, and even the farmlands in Chang'an and Wannian counties were not affected much.

After hearing the news, Emperor Taizong said that it was the soldiers on the court and the cheering people in the city who blocked the disaster for the farmland around Datang.

Since then, as long as the weather is bad, and the worse the weather is, those people will play polo more desperately.

Therefore, with such a good Quanyoudi polo field like ours, plus there are many people here, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is next to it, it is convenient to eat and drink. If you rent less than 30 days a month, you will be a villain. "

After listening to Liu Yi's talk about ancient times, Yunchu breathed a sigh of relief. Now, he is very sure that building a polo field for Naha is simply an excuse. Liu Yi and Cui's want to expand the commercial territory of Jinchangfang. This is their real purpose. Jinchang Fang only has one large dining hall to attract customers, which is too simple.

Now that there is a high-end polo field, some distinguished guests will be attracted to Jinchangfang. After all, those who can come to the big cafeteria to eat with the common people will not have a high status.

With the polo field, and by the way, a more advanced small canteen in the polo field, the business should be very good.

Yun Chu glanced at Cui Shi, who looked like Maitreya Buddha with a smile, pointed at Liu Yi and said to her, "Since he grows up well, and the house is not upright, if he insists on entering the house as a servant, then he will do what he wants.

However, don't want his whole family, leave a clever son outside to continue to be the head of the village, Fangzheng, and the rest, regardless of gender, will be brought in as slaves.

You looked at it and called it to death. '

As for this old guy, he will be in charge of the outside house from now on, you don't need to contact the outsider anymore, just tell him to do anything. "

Cui saluted with a smile, but Liu Yi knelt down in front of Yunchu with a plop, clasped his fists and said, "This old servant has seen Mr. Lang, thank you for your kindness."

Yun Chu couldn't see Liu Yi crying, so he waved his sleeves and went home.

Cui's salute to Liu Yi said: "Congratulations to my concubine as Guanshi Liu."

Liu Yi clasped his fists upright and said: "Liu Yi, the steward of the outer house, has seen the chief steward, but he has orders, and Liu Yi obeys them all."

Cui said with emotion: "Mr. Lang doesn't easily recruit people at home. This time, I really see you in his eyes. From now on, you must work diligently, and don't be arrogant because of petting, and ruin my Yun family style."

Liu Yi cupped his hands and said, "Wei."

Liu Yi left his eldest son, Liu Fang, as the head of Guangmingli and concurrently the head of Jinchangfang. He brought his wife Li, second son Liu Ming, and third son Liu Hui. They signed a contract with Cui and officially moved in. The Yun family.

In another month, Yunchu will formally marry Yu Xiurong, and there are obviously not enough maids and servants in the family.

In a formal big family, besides the maids and servants around Yu Xiurong, apart from the Zijuan and Grandma Sun she brought as roommates, there are also at least six maids, four healthy women, and two who are always waiting in the atrium. A servant at your beck and call.

Liu Yi's wife and two daughters-in-law can serve as some manpower, and the rest needs to be found from home.

From the second fat to the seventh fat, from the first mother to the tenth mother, these people are completely inappropriate. Even though their figures are suitable for the title of healthy women, but in the past few years, they have never done any work of serving people. It's all steward's errands, none of which work.

Mrs. Cui decided to buy some daughters from Jinchangfang who were good and well-known, and the mother-in-law came in.

Because, Naha's body has already started to twitch, and it is far from enough to have only one big fat maid, and there should be at least four little maids besides the big fat maid, two healthy women and two old women. indivual.

Not only these, as a senior woman, Yu Xiurong needed a carriage worthy of her status, and two accompanying carriages.

Naha needs a boudoir carriage even more. In the future, if it is not necessary, she can't just ride around on a black horse.

Yun Chu didn't need a long-term follower, because it was very inconvenient, and besides, he hated being accompanied by someone all the time.

One more person by his side, in case he gets sick and wants to kill someone, it would be a very bad thing to have one more witness.

The swallows under the eaves of Yun's house finally flew away, and the old swallow led the group of clumsy little swallows to fly away. Yunchu hoped that they could fly to the wintering place safely, and then reproduce.

The swallows flew away, but the Big Wild Goose Pagoda rose at some unknown time, attracting a group of wild pigeons to stay there. Every morning, you can see them flying around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Touch the copper bell on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the tinkle is annoying.

These days, the Yun family is very busy. Cui Shi and Liu Yi, the two big butlers inside and outside, are busy almost without touching the ground.

There are endless things to do every day, and new things appear every day.

Under their busyness, the originally deserted Yun's house finally looked so overcrowded.

The court was still calm. Because of his hard work, the eldest grandson Wuji, the emperor decreed that the eldest grandson Jin should be shaded, and the emperor should be honored with clothes.

Changsun Wuji expressed his thanks one after another, but all of them were returned by the emperor.

At the same time, the old cousin who was shot by the right servant and Chu Suiliang was returned...
