Three days later, Butler Liu came to the Zhou family again with good news.

Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan were not surprised. They chatted with Butler Liu for a while and finally confirmed the matter.

"Miss Du, I will give you the shop on Southwest Street in Cheng'an County, and then I will arrange a waiter for you." Butler Liu said with a smile, "As for when to open the shop, it depends on when you make the fragrance. .”

Du Wanchun nodded lightly, "Okay, Shopkeeper Liu, but before that, can you let us take a look at the shop first." ?.?????.???

Shopkeeper Liu squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course, if you are free today, you can come with us."

Du Wanchun stood up quickly and said, "Okay, my husband-in-law and I will go with you to see it now."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Zhou Ruiyuan aside.

Zhou Ruiyuan smiled at her and then got up to lead the carriage outside the house.

The three of them rushed to Cheng'an County while it was still early.

The shop Mr. Fang gave them was indeed a good place. Although it was not as prosperous as South Street, it was close to West Street and very close to the mansions of those dignitaries.

Du Wanchun looked very satisfied and smiled at Butler Liu: "Butler Liu, I think in addition to Mr. Fang's clerk, our Zhou family also wants to send a clerk."

Butler Liu smiled and nodded: "Of course, we are doing business after all, so it's just right for each of us to have a clerk."

When Du Wanchun saw that he agreed immediately, he immediately had a candidate in mind.

Zhou Zhao and Zhou Feng are both literate, but Zhou Feng has bad eyesight, so now only Zhou Zhao is the most suitable.

After they agreed, Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan got into the carriage together and prepared to go home.

In Changliu Village, Zhou Feng and Zhou Zhao were in the fields together.

The rice is almost ripe these days, and the two of them are busy cutting it.

Zhou Feng's eyes have not fully recovered yet, so he can only help carry the cut rice.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter now, and Zhou Zhao was sweating all over after a while.

"Second brother, bring me water." Zhou Zhao called to Zhou Feng who was not far away.

Zhou Feng fumbled for the kettle and slowly walked towards Zhou Zhao, "Third brother, here it is."

Zhou Zhao took the kettle and drank heavily. While drinking water, he accidentally saw a pond not far away from the corner of his eye.

This pond is a pool of stagnant water. On weekdays, if it rains, the water in the pond will be very clear, but if it doesn't rain, it will be a pool of smelly water.

Few villagers nearby use the water here. Only Zhou Zhao occasionally picks up some water to water vegetables here when he has nothing to do.

He looked at the surface of the pool and suddenly his eyes widened. He quickly pulled Zhou Feng to point it out and exclaimed: "Second brother, the water in that stinking pool seems to be much clearer than usual."

Zhou Feng could only see blurry shadows in front of him, and he couldn't see clearly for a while, but he still said in surprise: "Isn't it raining recently? Why did the water in the pool suddenly become clear?"

"I don't know. I'll go over and take a look." Zhou Zhao put the kettle back into Zhou Feng's hand and strode towards the pond.

It's fine if you don't get closer, but when you get closer, Zhou Zhao was shocked. The water in this pond was not smelly water, but a pool of crystal clear spring.

Zhou Zhao couldn't help but reach out and scoop out a spoonful of water and drank it. The water in the pool was as sweet and delicious as if it had been filled with honey.

Not only that, he could also see the fish in the pond.

Small crucian carp and big grass carp swam through the green aquatic plants.

Zhou Zhao was so surprised that he stood up and called Zhou Feng: "Second brother, there are many fish in this pond!"

Zhou Feng listened with his ears pricked up, followed the direction of the sound and groped towards Zhou Zhao, "Third brother, hurry up, catch these fish."

There are not many ponds with fish in Changliu Village. Most of them go to the next village to buy fish to eat, or fish in the Luoyang River in the distance.

Now you can see such fish next to your own field, no matter who you are, you will be so happy that you can't sleep.

Zhou Zhao was an agile man. He jumped directly into the pond and caught fish with his bare hands.

There are densely packed rows of small crucian carp in the pond.

As long as Zhou Zhao catches it casually, it will be one.

"Second brother, put it away!" After saying that, he threw the fish he caught directly to the shore.

Zhou Feng squatted on the ground, fumbled to pick up the fish and put them into the vegetable basket they brought.

One, two, three...

The lively fish were thrown ashore one by one.

Zhou Zhao had a great time catching fish in the pond. The pond water was churned by him, and the fish seemed to have lost their minds and burrowed into his arms one by one.

He caught one accurately and soon he caught small crucian carp and three large grass carp for more than ten days.
