Chapter 624 The Fruit Trees Have Growt Taller

Mrs. Qiao naturally knew that Aunt Du and Qiao Kou, mother and daughter, cried miserably after Aunt Du's family property was robbed, but she just sneered and didn't take it seriously.

Qiao Wei also knew about it, and she gloated over it and even made a few jokes.

In the eyes of the mother and daughter, what are concubines and concubines? They are no different from servants, and they can bully them if they want.

Could it be possible that a mere concubine or a concubine's daughter could really cause such a turmoil?

Mrs. Qiao had no time to distract herself from the concubines and concubines whom she looked down upon. Even though she searched through the family's assets and collected several hundred taels of silver, it was still not enough!

This time, he really took out all his family assets, both open and hidden, and was still short of more than ten thousand taels.

To be considered lenient, we must at least raise another 15,000 taels!

Lord Qiao was so anxious that bubbles appeared on his mouth and his heart was burning with anxiety.

The couple looked at each other with worried expressions. They racked their brains to think of every possible way, but nothing worked.

Both of them were in a bad mood and had a few small quarrels because of this.

At about the same time, over at the Shao family's main house, Qiao Xuan's banana seedlings and other tropical fruit seedlings were growing very well. Bananas grow fast to begin with and their height had already surpassed her.

The lychee and mango seedlings have grown to be as thick as fingers and more than one meter tall. They have been transplanted and planted neatly in the open space in the garden.

As the weather gets warmer, the shiitake mushrooms, black fungus and white fungus in the mushroom shed grow very fast. I picked a batch, put them in a winnowing basket and placed them in the yard to dry.

After this batch is dried, it can be sent to the provincial capital together with the ones accumulated before.

By the way, thousands of newly made lipsticks were also delivered over there, saving Le Zhengxiao the trouble of sending someone over.

This batch of dried white fungus to be delivered weighs about 100 kilograms, all of which are top-quality goods. The kind that can be sold for 30 taels per kilogram from Qiao Xuan.

This transaction, including white fungus and lipstick, brought in at least 6,000 taels of silver.

It makes me happy just thinking about it.

Seeing the lettuces in the vegetable garden were so green and tender, Qiao Xuan suddenly had an idea and decided to make some vegetable rice rolls.

As the name suggests, rice rolls are made by wrapping fried rice in fresh and tender lettuce leaves and eating it while hot. It tastes both the aroma of the rice and the freshness of the lettuce. It is hot inside and cool outside, and tastes excellent.

This fried rice is not as simple as egg fried rice, it has rich condiments.

Chopped bacon cubes, fresh meat cubes, bamboo shoots cubes, mushroom cubes, leeks, pickled vegetables, eggs, etc. are stir-fried with seasonings and then added to the cooled rice. Finally, add a spoonful of animal oil to make it more fragrant.

After frying, serve it in a large bowl of steaming hot. Use a spoon to scoop a spoonful of it while it's still hot, wrap it with fresh lettuce leaves, and eat it like you're wrapping roasted pork belly.

Not only is it delicious, but you can also have the fun of making your own food and clothing!

The meal became lively as soon as it was served. Taotao, Xiaoqi and the foodie couple Shao Sanlang especially enjoyed it.

Qiao Xuan herself also liked the taste and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. She should have remembered to make such delicious food earlier.

She would think about it more when she had nothing to do. Anyway, she had money, free time and helpers now, so she could try to cook whatever she wanted to eat!

So the next day, Xiaoqi and Taotao caught a lot of snails and prepared to fry half of them as snacks and feed the small ones to the ducks. Qiao Xuan picked a lot more, added lemon juice, perilla, dried chili peppers, etc., and made a stew with old duck and snails.
