Playful peasant girl made a fortune: uncle begged to take it away

Chapter 40 What a Young Master
"Daddy, how many water sources are there on this mountain?" Mingyu, who was tidying up the mountain road to Dayu Village with Mingyong, asked

"This father doesn't know very well. After sending tomorrow to school, let's take good care of this mountain." Ming Yong continued to move forward, cutting down all the trees on the mountain road and widening the road.

Along the way, Mingyu discovered several spices, including cumin, cinnamon, and star anise, which no one here knew.In modern times, almost all household cooking uses spices, but the condiments here are only sugar, salt, and vinegar.In order to have more wealth, in addition to food, spices also need to be planted in large quantities.

Cumin and cinnamon are easy to grow, but the star anise is more difficult.

Star anise is suitable for growing in a humid and warm environment in mountainous areas. The annual average temperature is not lower than 0°C, the annual rainfall is 1300mm-1400mm, and the relative humidity is above 80%.The soil should be deep, fertile, and pH 5-6.Young trees like shade, mature trees like light.The roots are shallow, the branches are brittle, and they are not resistant to wind.Propagate mainly by seeds.Foggy, calm wind, and low-altitude valleys are preferable for forest land.This also means that it cannot be planted in a large area, and can only be planted in this area.

After a morning and a noon, Mingyu and the others finally drove the mountain road to the top of the mountain. Looking down, they could see a stretch of houses. Although there were not many, it was twice the size of the village where Mingyu was now.

Finally at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Mingyu and the others finally opened the way.Of course, when they were 200 meters away from the foot of the mountain, Mingyu and the others stopped widening the road and just made a trail.Mingyu thought, in the future, this will be used as a base, and the surroundings of the mountain must be covered.

Now that I have come to Dayu Village, I will naturally go to the private school to have a look.

The two walked down from the mountain, walked to the village, asked where the private school of the name of the village was, and then walked straight to the private school.

When the two came to the private school, the students were all out of class.Ming Yong stepped forward and knocked on the door and said, "Excuse me, is sir there?"

I saw a young man about eighteen came out, with a faint smile on his face, as friendly as a big brother next door, with a handsome face, he said softly, "What can you do for me?"

Mingyu was taken aback, this kind elder brother was actually a teacher, he looked so young.Mingyu was obviously struck by lightning. She originally thought that the teachers in the village should generally be from the grandfather's generation.After all, those who are willing to stay and teach in poor villages are not those who fail to pass the exam after being a scholar, or they may be old wise men who are tired of the metropolis and the struggle for power.Which upright young and talented man is willing to teach here.

Ming Yong was also taken aback, what a young master, but he quickly came back to his senses and cupped his hands and asked, "What's your name, sir?"

The young man bowed back and said, "My surname is Jun, and my name is Xiran. Just call me Master Jun."

"Hi sir, that's how it is. There are two sons in my family, and I want them to study here with the master. I don't know what is the master's request?"

"May I ask how old the two children are and what basis they have."

"One is six years old, and the other will be five years old in a month. Neither can read."

"Send it here, Shuxiu, one tael of silver a year, ten catties of rice, and one piece of meat. Prepare a thousand-character prose, paper and pen for the child. Classes start at three o'clock every day, and school ends at the next hour. There is a rest every five days. Tomorrow is just a day off. Bring the child in the morning"
