Chapter 111 Master Fang Generously Gives Away a Shop
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "They were all planted by my third brother. He didn't use any special methods. Maybe it's because our land is good."
Master Fang laughed and said, "Madam Du is too modest. I heard that your third brother is very hardworking and is busy in the fields almost every day."
Du Wanchun did not deny this; Zhou Zhao usually did nothing but go to the fields.
These days, he's gotten several shades darker from the sun, and when it comes to farm work, he's just as good as the old men in the village.
In their view, food is the most important thing for people and agriculture is the foundation. Even if they were extremely wealthy in the past, farming was still the most important thing.
Master Fang continued, "How about this, if your rice is good, you can sell me about a hundred catties every time after the rice harvest?"
When Du Wanchun heard that he wanted to buy rice, she smiled and said, "Of course."
Master Fang slowly raised his head and looked at her. "As for the price, I won't set one. I'll just give you the Zhou Family Incense Shop."
Du Wanchun was somewhat surprised, "Mr. Fang, what do you mean?"
Master Fang laughed, “From now on, your Zhou family’s incense shop won’t have to share profits with our Fang family. You just need to send me some fragrant rice every year.”
Du Wanchun was very surprised. How could the cost of a hundred or so kilograms of rice be equivalent to the cost of a shop, not to mention the monthly share of the profits?
Master Fang didn't say much; in fact, General Mo had found him a few days ago.
General Mo only said that the Zhou family were his distant relatives and that they had a very deep relationship. In order to curry favor with the Mo family, Master Fang naturally dared not to covet the Zhou family's incense shop as he had before.
That's why I used the pretext of buying rice to give them the shop directly, which was also a way for the two families to get to know each other and gain favor.
However, Mr. Fang really liked their rice. He had lived most of his life and this was the first time he had ever seen such good rice.
Therefore, this matter is a win-win situation for both the Fang and Zhou families.
Du Wanchun was overjoyed and quickly replied, "Thank you, Master Fang."
Then, Mr. Fang took out the previous receipts, the shop's property deeds, and even the clerk's indenture from his pocket and gave them to her.
Now, Zhoujiaxiang Shop truly holds a monopoly in Cheng'an County.
Du Wanchun respectfully accepted the gifts from Master Fang, bowed to him, and then left the Fang residence to return to the Zhou family, where she told Aunt Zhou the good news.
Aunt Zhou looked at the house deed and land deed from left to right. "Does that mean we won't have to share the money with Master Fang anymore?"
Du Wanchun smiled and nodded, "Yes, Mother."
Aunt Zhou smiled from ear to ear, "That's wonderful! We'll be able to earn a lot more money every month."
After she finished speaking, she quickly turned around and looked into the incense room. "Then we must hurry up and make the new blended incense, just in time for Feng'er to return to the capital and finish it!"
Du Wanchun stood up as well, "Mother, don't worry, we'll make it in time."
Just then, Zhou Zhao returned from the field. "Mom, sister-in-law, it's sprouted! It's sprouted!"
Aunt Zhou was stunned. "What's growing out of here?!"
Zhou Zhao said, panting, "The seeds that Doctor Xu gave us have grown into fruit!"
Aunt Zhou was shocked. "What? It grew so quickly?"
Zhou Zhao nodded. "Yes, that tree isn't tall, less than three feet, but it grows lots of bright yellow fruit that have a unique, refreshing fragrance from afar!"
Aunt Zhou was a little confused, "What kind of fruit is this? How come it grows so fast?!"
Du Wanchun stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mother, let's not worry about that anymore, let's go and take a look!"
