Chapter 1290 There Are Too Many Strawberries
Qiao Xuan smiled in surprise and said, "Wow, there are strawberries! Are they grown in our 20-acre garden?"
Lixia smiled and said yes, "The master asked Songshi to pick these early in the morning. He said that they had matured a while ago, but unfortunately the lady hasn't come back yet, so the master asked Songshi to pick a lot of the ripe ones and distribute them to the neighbors. The master said that the lady would like them, so it's inconvenient to ask Songshi to pick them."
Qiao Xuan smiled: "Well, it's delicious, I like it very much! Are there any left? Wash more and you can all eat them. These strawberries can't be kept for long. If you leave them by night, they will go bad."
These strawberries, blessed with supernatural powers by her, grew extremely well. They were slightly larger than copper coins, almost as big as country eggs, plump and bright red, fragrant and sweet when bitten, soft and juicy, with a slightly sour aftertaste, and she would not feel it was too much to eat half a plate in one go.
Strawberries not only taste good, but also look good. What little girl doesn't like them? Lixia and Liqiu smiled and washed another plate. The master and the servants happily ate them together.
Not long after lunch, Shao Yunduan came back unexpectedly.
Qiao Xuan walked over and said with a smile, "Why did you come back so early today? If you were any earlier, I wouldn't have gotten up yet!"
Shao Yunduan took her hand and walked into the house, saying with a little regret: "That's a pity. I should have gone back earlier!"
Qiao Xuan laughed, “Puchi!”
Shao Yunduan sat down, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and smiled, "The superiors are considerate and let me go back half a day earlier."
Qiao Xuan snuggled in his arms, curled the corners of her lips and hummed softly.
This is great! It seems her husband is a good person in the Ministry of Revenue.
Shao Yunduan stayed at home with Qiao Xuan for the whole afternoon, talking about family matters. It was the perfect time to spend time together after a long separation, and time passed by unknowingly.
After resting at home for two days, Qiao Xuan went to check on her twenty acres of land.
Song Shi is still very reliable in his work. He planted the twenty acres of land fully as Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan had instructed before they left.
The plants are growing at their best at this time of year, and they look lush and green, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Qiao Xuan took a rough look and found that there were about twelve acres of potatoes.
She planted a lot in her space, so when she gave the potatoes to Turquoise for seeds, she inevitably brought a lot out of her space to mix them together.
Potatoes are different from other plants. One can be cut into several pieces and planted, so there are always so many of them.
There are also more than four acres of strawberries. Among the lush dark green leaves and vines, the bright red fruits are large and plump, which are very beautiful and tempting.
There are many small white flowers blooming, which shows that this strawberry can still bear fruit for a long time.
A lot of vegetables were planted as well, including peppers, beans, eggplants, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, ginger, onions, garlic, coriander, radishes, etc. There should be no shortage of vegetables throughout the year.
There are too many strawberries!
Qiao Xuan didn't expect it to produce so many fruits.
Although strawberries are delicious, there are five people in their family, including the master and servants, so they can never finish them.
Strawberries cannot be stored and must be picked and eaten on the same day to be delicious. They will go bad overnight.
No wonder Shao Yunduan asked people to pick the turquoise and give them to his neighbors.
But there are also some rules for giving gifts. If you give gifts once or twice occasionally, let everyone have a taste and they will be grateful. But if you give gifts again and again, people will subconsciously think that you give gifts frequently, and if one day you don’t have them, their psychological expectations will be dashed and they will probably be blamed.
Why bother?
