After arranging the winery affairs, he still needed to find a teacher for Cheng Yunfei in the next two days. The only person Wang Yu knew in the provincial capital was Zhang Jin. After thinking for a moment, he decided to go to him and ask which private school was good.

Wang Yu invited him to a restaurant for dinner. There were several restaurants in the city, and Baiweilou was one of them. All the restaurants in the city had their own characteristics. It was said that the fish in this restaurant was very good. Wang Yu couldn't invite Zhang Jin to Baiweilou, so he chose one at random. When all the dishes were served, Wang Yu asked about the teacher.

"You're talking about this? I thought you wanted me to talk about the winery." Zhang Jin continued, "As for private schools, I know a few. There's one close to Changningfang. The teacher's surname is Tian and he's a successful candidate. You could go ask him."

In fact, Zhang Jin didn't know much about the private schools in the provincial capital. His children were studying in the capital. The only people who knew about it were businessmen who had talked to him about their children's studies and remembered some of it.

After hearing what he said, Wang Yu thought that this guy had been a good friend so far, so he decided to give him some more benefits. Of course, if things went well, it would be a win-win situation, and no one would complain about having too much money.

"Brother Siyuan, do you know anything about wine?"

"I know. The wine is a tribute from Persia." Zhang Jin didn't know why Wang Yu suddenly mentioned wine but answered anyway. Although trade has been opened on the border and there are merchants trading from there, the place is far away, the quantity is scarce and the price is expensive.

Wang Yu didn't keep the topic a secret and said directly, "I have a recipe for making wine. Brother Siyuan, are you interested?"

Zhang Jin sat up straight instantly. This wine is much better than white wine. Only royal relatives, dignitaries and nobles can drink wine now, and it is expensive. In his opinion, this wine is a luxury for the nobility!

Wang Yu saw his interest and said, "One of the better grape producing areas is Anning County in Long Province. Further away is Anxi Province. The grapes grown in Qi Province are also very good, but the distance makes transportation difficult."

Speaking of this, Wang Yu had seen the brief map of Dali before. After the founding of Dali, the territory was divided into 28 provinces, one of which was directly under the jurisdiction of the capital, and under it was a prefecture as the administrative center of the province, followed by states, counties, and townships.

Twenty-eight provinces, without those special administrative regions and autonomous regions. Wang Yu looked at the map at that time and thought it looked so much like China.

Zhang Jin's eyes lit up after hearing this. The long journey didn't matter. He could build a winery there. Besides, Qi Mansion was close to the capital. As long as he could make wine, the distance wouldn't matter. He said, "If Xiuzhi can really make wine, all this won't matter."

Hearing this, Wang Yu added, "Of course, there are grapes grown in Shangyong Prefecture, but the taste isn't as good as elsewhere. You can try it first!"

"Okay, then how does Xiuzhi want to make this recipe?"

"I'll give you the recipe directly. I won't take care of the factory construction, raw materials, winemaking, or sales. I just want 10% profit!"

Zhang Jin thought that if he could really make huge profits, and if he did well, it would bring him many benefits. Giving Wang Yu 10% of the profit was indeed not much. After all, he couldn't make wine without this recipe.

"Xiuzhi is so straightforward, how could I not agree? If this thing works out, I have to give Xiuzhi a generous gift."

Wang Yu thought that the generous gift was fine, and he could just give him money when the time came. However, Wang Yu didn't know at that time how much benefit this wine recipe would bring to Zhang Jin, and it wasn't just in terms of money.

The two had a great conversation and felt that their relationship had become closer.

On the second day, Wang Yuchengchen took Feifei to visit the teacher. Teacher Tian's private school was in Changxingfang, in front of Changningfang. It took less than two quarters of an hour to walk there, so it was indeed very close.

The last one in Changxingfang is a private school, with the name Baichuan Academy written on it, which should mean that the sea accommodates all rivers.

Wang Yu went forward and knocked on the door to explain his purpose. The doorman asked them to wait while he went in to ask for instructions. After a while, he came out and took Wang Yu to the reception room to wait.

The academy has two courtyards. You can hear the sound of reading when you enter the courtyard. Wang Yu took a rough look and saw that the left side was the elementary school class and the right side was the scholar class. When he walked by, he could even hear the sound of debate inside.

Mr. Tian looks to be only about forty years old, with a refined and easy-going appearance.

Wang Yu stepped forward to greet him and said, "Master Tian, ​​I am Wang Yu, and this is my nephew Cheng Yunfei, who wants to study at the academy."

The master didn't know who was his apprentice at first. Seeing Wang Yu was young and looked like a scholar, he thought it was him. Then he heard that it was the boy next to him. He looked down and saw that he was about five years old. He knew that he also had elementary education here, so he asked, "Have you studied any books?"

"I learned Thousand Character Classic and memorized Three Character Classic at home." In recent years, Wang Yu went to Yue's house during holidays to learn Cheng Fei. Brother Cheng also went to school for two years and would also teach him at home. The child had a good memory and could basically memorize the Three Character Classic.

Master Tian nodded when he heard this and said, "Recite it for me!"

Cheng Fei looked up at Wang Yu. Wang Yu gestured for him to recite it, and he began to recite it, "People are inherently good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different..."

Feifei knew that she would study under the teacher today, so she was very serious when reciting. She didn't recite fast but her pronunciation was clear and she didn't stumble. After she finished reciting, she looked at Wang Yu with bright eyes.

After listening to it, Mr. Tian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad." Wondering if Wang Yu taught him at home, he asked again if Wang Yu had ever been to school.

Wang Yu nodded and said that he would go to the provincial school to study next month. When Master Tian heard him say that he was studying at the provincial school, he suddenly thought that the name Wang Yu sounded familiar. Then he remembered that the first place in this year's academy examination seemed to be named Wang Yu, so he asked if it was him.

Wang Yu didn't expect his name to be heard here, and said ashamedly: "I am not talented, I am really inferior."

At this time, Master Tian's attitude softened significantly. He then asked Wang Yu some more questions about academic matters. He was very satisfied with Wang Yu's good answers, which made Wang Yu think that he had come here to study!

Afterwards, the teacher accepted Cheng Yunfei as a student, and gave him a monthly tuition of one or two taels of silver. He was required to provide his own writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. The teacher also told him some requirements for attending school. He was required to attend classes at the beginning of Chen time every day, take a break for one hour at noon, and finish school at the end of Shen time. He was required to bathe once every ten days and provide his own lunch.

Wang Yu thought that he could go home to eat and rest at noon, but he would have to arrange someone to pick him up. Uncle Sun should be able to do it, and the round trip would take less than half an hour.

After finishing the matter of becoming an apprentice, Wang Yu took them to the street to buy things, as they would need some gifts for becoming an apprentice and writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone for tomorrow.

At this time, six rituals are performed to pay homage to the teacher. Celery symbolizes diligence and a love of learning, demonstrating that diligence is the root of success. Lotus seeds symbolize the teacher's education and the bitterness of his heart. Red beans symbolize good fortune. Red dates symbolize early admission to high school and a prosperous and festive life. Longans symbolize wealth, unity, and fulfilled virtue. Dried lean meat strips symbolize self-improvement and tireless teaching.

After buying the popular small book basket here, Wang Yu suddenly remembered the modern student backpacks and decided to make two for him.

It was also the first time for Cheng Yunfei to see such a bustling street market. He held Cheng Chen's hand and looked around, feeling overwhelmed and very happy.

Cheng Yunfei was well-educated. Children of this age are interested in everything. Wang Yu has seen some children lying on the ground crying and asking their parents to buy them toys when they see them.

However, Cheng Fei would only express whether he wanted it or not when Wang Yu asked him. At other times, he would just look but not ask for it.
