General Cheng strode out of the mansion. The three children behind him were already crooked, but they were still very polite and sensible.
Let’s go outside the mansion to watch the drunken state of some famous generals of the Tang Dynasty. Well, it’s to say goodbye to these famous generals of the Tang Dynasty and a bunch of their friends.
Looking at these robes and the juniors, they were all lying peacefully on the door board, being carried out of the house by the fat and strong servants of the Cheng family.
General Cheng was very high-spirited, patted his belly and had a drink, then turned to face the three children and explained.
"Did you see that, as a host, you have to make your guests feel at home? To make guests feel at home, you have to go straight in and go out..."
"In the future, when I get older and can't drink enough, I'll have to rely on you three kids and four or five to entertain guests."
"Remember, don't disgrace our Cheng family's good reputation for being warm and hospitable, and making guests feel at home."
Cheng Chumo wiped his face, stared at his father who had started to have ghost images with straight eyes, and nodded.
"Dad, don't worry, the child will not disgrace our Cheng family's family tradition."
Cheng Chubi had a drink and rolled his eyes. This kind of family tradition was indeed very famous in Chang'an, and it was only a group of rough old men who were not afraid of death that became more and more courageous.
If they are those gentlemen, such as the Prime Minister of Fang, etc., tut tut... they come once, and they are unlikely to come again if they are beaten to death.
The stewards of various noble families at the door continued to announce their masters and young masters on the door panel.
"This is Duke Yi, come here, steward Qin, your master..."
The rich uncle of the housekeeper put his hands on his hips with a shiny face, as if he was giving guidance to his master.
"Don't get it wrong. If your master gets angry and hits you later, our Cheng family won't care."
"Uncle Fu's words make sense. There will be no return or exchange after leaving this store." Cheng Chubi couldn't help but laugh, and raised his voice to say something.
The three brothers all smiled crookedly, and even Cheng Yaojin smiled and slapped the boy.
"Young lady is talking nonsense. The three of you should go back quickly and rest early. You have to go to work tomorrow. Don't leave early, otherwise you will be careful..."
"Yes!" When the three brothers heard what their biological father said, they quickly agreed loudly and uniformly, and then hurried back to their respective rooms and fell asleep soundly.
Early the next morning, Cheng Chubi opened his eyes. Maybe he slept a little late last night and thought about it for about five breaths.
Cheng Chubi turned around and decided to lie down for a while...
When he rushed to the front hall full of energy, he saw that his father and two brothers had just arrived.
Cheng Chubi pretended that nothing happened and greeted his father and two elder brothers.
It seems that everyone involuntarily lay down for a while longer. Tsk...
The father and son had a tacit understanding and did not mention the fear of being late today.
The eldest brother, Cheng Chumo, was still a good person and eagerly served breakfast for his biological father.
"Dad, you worked hard yesterday. Come on, eat more tonic and drink enough so that you have the strength to be on duty."
"Well... I'm so stunned. Hurry up..." Cheng Yaojin wiped his face, picked up the cup of goat milk, drained it in one gulp, and then started to feast.
#####
It was only when it was getting dark and Cheng Chubi rushed back to his home that he learned about it from his own father, who had a glowing face.
General Cheng was rewarded by His Majesty with 20,000 catties of gold, 20,000 pieces of silk and satin, a fine horse, ten precious swords, a thousand acres of fertile land, additional food for 100 households, and a review of the official history of Prince Chiang's palace.
After hearing the reward that their biological father had received, the whole family was so happy that they wished they could invite a group of people to come to the house to have a feast today.
You must know that it is very difficult to increase the food town. My father's food town before was 700 households, and it has not been added for many years. But this time, 100 households were directly added.
As for the amount of money and silk given by His Majesty, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but silently praise his shrewdness and wisdom.
If I could offer this thing and get half of the reward my biological father received, I would be able to laugh it off.
This was such a treatment, Cheng Chubi couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he was only eighteen or nineteen years old now.
Already in front of Dong'e County Bo, he is already very impressive.
You can't let the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty give you no rewards and no gifts at such a young age. What if Uncle Li can't get enough of him and chops himself into pieces?
"Sanlang, do you know where the thousand acres of fertile land given by His Majesty are?"
After the family's joy had subsided, Cheng Yaojin, who took a mouthful of Sanlejiang, smiled and said to Cheng Chubi.
"It can't be in Dong'a, right?" Cheng Chubi heard his father's words and couldn't help but secretly wonder if Uncle Li was causing trouble again.
"Hahaha...you little baby, Shaote...well, stop talking nonsense."
General Cheng almost slipped up, but fortunately he woke up in time and finally did not expose some minor flaws in front of his wife.
"The thousand acres of fertile land given by His Majesty is right on the edge of Ba River, just outside the Cheng University of our old Cheng family.
That thousand acres of fertile land belongs to our old Cheng family."
Cheng Chubi couldn't help but his eyes shone. Originally, only 500 acres of land were assigned to him around the imperial manor, but now it was good that he got another 1,000 acres of land.
Seeing Sanlang's appearance, Cheng Yaojin stroked his thick beard like a steel needle and smiled.
"Didn't your kid always want to set up some kind of experimental field? I'm going to give this thousand acres of land directly to my father. Is this enough?"
"Thank you father, that's enough, that's enough. With so much land, my son can indeed do a big career."
Cheng Chubi was already impatient. If he had known there were so many fields, he wouldn't have grown only 300 acres of rapeseed.
Because as far as Cheng Chubi knew, no one in this era used rapeseed to extract oil, so he himself was a little unsure about the oil yield of rapeseed in this era.
So he made two preparations. In addition to the 300 acres of rapeseed, he planned to plant another oil crop, soybeans, on the remaining 200 acres.
The planting period of soybeans is around April. In this way, Cheng Chubi will finally not have to worry about oil shortage next year.
Even if the oil yield rate of soybeans and rapeseed in this era is not high, if you can squeeze out the oil at least, it is a victory.
The remaining bean cakes are a good treasure for making pig feed.
Together with the rapeseed residue, it can be used to feed the old Cheng family's growing castration breeding.
But now, the sudden acquisition of a thousand acres of farmland instantly made Cheng Chubi ambitious. He immediately thought of another precious crop: cotton.
All the cotton and cotton yarn he used before were purchased from the Naxi market.
Even if the cotton is not woven into white cloth, the price of one pound is equivalent to dozens of pounds of twine.
As an excellent medical worker, it is time for me to calculate the medical costs carefully.
After all, once the Cheng University comes and the number of people studying modern medicine increases, the amount of cotton used for medical purposes alone will be an outrageous amount.
We can't let those barbarians from the Western Regions make all the money.
