The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 88
Su Yunduo pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't say much, until he removed all the withered grass covering the vegetable field, and then led Ning Zhongping to find the spring: "The secret is here, try it, uncle."

The small size of the spring is too inconspicuous. If Su Yunduo had not brought him here, at most he would have thought there was a puddle of water here. Ning Zhongping put his hand into the water, and his eyes lit up involuntarily: "This is a hot spring!"

Su Yunduo nodded first and then shook his head: "This is not a hot spring. The temperature of the water coming out of this spring is only relatively high, but it does not meet the requirements of a hot spring."

Ning Zhongping will no longer ask Su Yunduo how he knows so much. He knows because his brother-in-law is a scholar, and even Su Yunduo, Su Zexuan and even the youngest Su Zechen are all literate. He has also seen Su Yunduo many times. When Yun Duo is free, he likes to read with a book in his hands.

At this time, Ning Zhongping just sighed in his heart, scholars really know a lot, even more than he, a person who walks darts all year round, this should be the so-called people who sit at home and know everything about the world.

"But how does such a small spring bring up the temperature of such a large mountain?" Ning Zhongping walked around in the mountain, looked and looked, and his doubts continued to increase.

Only then did Su Yunduo smile and pull him to the depths of the mountain depression. The trees there looked especially dense and verdant, not like winter but more like spring and summer. The closer he got to it, the warmer he felt. Guess, is the real spring here?
Sure enough, Su Yunduo picked up a wooden stick at hand and gently pushed aside a pile of withered grass, a bigger spring appeared in front of him. This spring was not only much bigger, but also the water temperature was much higher.

It turns out that this is where the real spring is located. The spring in the center of the depression is just a branch spring. No wonder the water temperature is much lower.

The reason why this spring has not been discovered is that it is relatively hidden, and the second is that most of the spring water flows to the depths of the dense forest through underground passages. Therefore, the temperature of this mountain depression was only slightly higher than that of other places before, and Su Yunduo can have the current temperature But after using his brain and working hard, it seems that the effect is good now.

With this experiment and results, Su Yunduo's heart is settled. After buying the back hillside and this col, he must make good use of this hot spring to transform this col, making this small col a real treasure.

Knowing the secret of this mountain col, and seeing the fruit of Su Yunduo's planting with his own eyes, Ning Zhongping fell into deep thought.

This col should belong to Geshan Village.

Ning Zhongping travels to many places, so he has no shortage of knowledge. Hot springs are extremely popular wherever they are, not to mention that Su Yunduo still relies on the hot springs to produce food in the cold winter. So no matter who this mountain col belongs to, Ning Zhongping thinks Everyone should be the first to buy it!

Although this place is located in a remote place, Su Yunduo's successful planting of vegetables cannot just satisfy the appetite of his family, so this secret may no longer be a secret.

If someone knew the secret of this mountain col, Su Yunduo's hard work would be for naught, how could she grow vegetables here!

No, we must buy this col before this secret is exposed.

In just a short while, Ning Zhongping put this mountain col under the name of the Su family. Naturally, it would cost money to make this mountain col the Su family's pocket.

Ning Zhongping naturally knew that Su Yunduo had made several deals in the past month or so. Among them, selling walnuts earned more than 30 taels, and selling sprouts and vegetable cultivation recipes earned 20 taels. I paid 60 taels, plus the three-month wages given to Su Chengzhi by the school. Excluding the money spent these days, there should still be [-] taels. It's only seven or eight taels of silver, so there is no pressure on the Su family to buy this col.

But it is definitely not enough to just buy the col, it is better to sell the entire hillside here, otherwise there will be a lot of troubles.

The col is not big, but the hillside is not small. It is really difficult for the Su family.

Although the hillside land is worthless, if there is no foreign aid, it is impossible to win it based on the current economic situation of the Su family.

Su Yunduo mentioned to him in private that he hoped that Su Chengzhi could take part in the imperial examination again after he recovered from his illness. Ning Zhongping totally agreed with this point. Su Chengzhi's common sense is so good, it's a pity to stop at a scholar, but the imperial examination is something that needs money support. Career, in this way, the Su family's existing money will be even more stretched.

"Uncle, you said that if we lead all the hot spring water flowing deep into the mountain, what will be the result?" Seeing Ning Zhongping looking at the spring and at the hillside, Su Yunduo pursed his lips in secret pleasure, and raised his head to look Ning Zhongping asked.

If all the hot spring water is brought back to the mountain depression, the temperature of the mountain depression can be increased by a few degrees, but the fog will soon rise and the secret will no longer be a secret.

Ning Zhongping shook his head violently: "No, I can't lead you now!"

Su Yunduo was more cheerful in his heart, but still pretended not to understand, tilted his head and looked at Ning Zhongping and asked, "Why? If the spring water can be brought back to the mountain, even if it's only part of it, the temperature of the mountain can be raised a few more degrees. My vegetable field can be expanded, and maybe the entire mountain can be planted with vegetables. The wider the land, the more vegetables I can grow, and I can send what I can’t eat to the restaurant in the town or county, and I will definitely be able to sell it. Good price."

I understand the reasoning, but in this way, this mountain can still make you a race?
Ning Zhongping frowned, thinking that Su Yunduo was just a child after all, thinking too simply.

No, before buying this hillside and col, Su Yunduo must absolutely dispel the idea of ​​bringing the spring water back to the col, and even let others know that Su Yunduo has grown vegetables here.

At this time, he heard Su Yunduo say again: "Uncle, I bought this hillside and this mountain depression together, what do you think?"

Ning Zhongping glanced at Su Yunduo and remained silent. It turned out that this girl had thought of this a long time ago.

It's just that I don't know what the girl's plan is, let's see what she says.

Ning Zhongping had already decided to leave the bodyguard bureau to work for Lu Jinkang. Naturally, Lu Jinkang could not let him do it for nothing. The income would definitely be higher than that of running a bodyguard, but the risk was much less, and he could take care of his family.

It's just that, even if he had some silver deposits on hand, he didn't dare to empty them out, so he had to keep some in his hands just in case.

Parents are getting old, and Shen needs money support to recuperate her body.The eldest nephew is 15 years old this year, and he is about to say goodbye. There are so many places for money in the family.

However, after looking at the col, Ning Zhongping felt that taking down the col was an urgent matter. Now it only depends on Su Yunduo's plan. The money he originally planned to use to buy land for his family can be used for an emergency. , the matter of buying land at home is not so urgent, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are all sensible people, so there is always a priority.
