Chapter 285 The Shao Family Has No Lack of Melons
Of course she knew that the housekeeper had also been deceived, but she was still furious.
To comfort Qiao Wei, Mrs. Qiao sent someone to the provincial capital to buy melons.
She still couldn't believe it. Is it so difficult to eat a watermelon in summer?
Not to mention Qiao Wei, even she felt somewhat unwilling, feeling unhappy and upset that she couldn't eat.
Unexpectedly, the manager who went there again this time waited for several days but didn't see anyone selling watermelons.
The manager was helpless and dared not stay any longer, so he had to return empty-handed to report.
The mother and daughter, including Mr. Qiao, were all furious.
Well, last year I could still eat a few, but this year I can’t eat any!
It's so painful to be unable to eat something when you want to.
The more Qiao Wei thought about it, the more greedy and angry she became. "I just want to eat some watermelon to cool off. Why is it so difficult? I've had enough of this shabby place!"
Mrs. Qiao was also disappointed and comforted her, "Okay, okay, it's just a watermelon. It's not expensive. It's not surprising that it can't be bought in a small place. When we return to Beijing, we can buy all kinds of good things!"
Qiao Wei snorted, looking unhappy with a gloomy face.
That being said, I’m still very angry.
Over in the Shao family's eldest branch, watermelons are also very popular. Every day at noon, they happily cut two big, round, sweet ones. They are sweet, delicious, and can cool you down and quench your thirst!
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
When County Magistrate Qiao and his family were unable to buy watermelons, two trucks of ripe watermelons were transported from Shaoding Village and headed straight to the provincial capital.
This time, Le Zhengxiao sold them for six coins each, and the three regular customers immediately divided them all up.
The customer was very grateful because he had given it to them before and they thought the melon was very sweet and delicious, so the price was totally worth it. They bought it for their own consumption and to give to relatives and friends, and they would not sell it again.
After the watermelon and tea issues were resolved, Qiao Xuan began to focus on the mushroom growing business.
The mushroom shed and mushroom materials are all ready. Now we just have to wait to find the mushroom strains, implant the mushroom materials, and then wait to make a fortune.
With the wood-related ability, Qiao Xuan could easily identify fungal species and mycelium, so when she started to do this, she was not panicked at all and was very organized.
Fang, Shao Xiaoqi and others could not help but worry about her, fearing that the fungus species and mycelium would be difficult to find, and they all comforted her by telling her to take her time and not to worry even if it failed.
Qiao Xuan smiled and nodded, accepting the kindness.
At this time of year, there is not much farm work to do, and the pomegranate flower lipsticks in the flower field have reached their flowering period after making 400 sticks.
The roses have already been picked, and there are only a few scattered flowers in the other batch, and the second batch has not yet bloomed. Even if Qiao Xuan wants to use her supernatural powers, she can't use them in a too strange way.
So we have to wait.
There is also beeswax, which has been used up. It's just right, I can get honey and wax after a while.
So Qiao Xuan, Shao Taotao and Xiao Qi went into the mountains, and Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni followed.
Shao Dalang and Xu took care of Qiao Xuan's flower fields, pruning them and watering them in the early morning and evening.
Qiao Xuan specially dug a ditch to divert water from the canal hundreds of meters away. When she needed water, she just opened the blocked hole and the water would flow in.
The wage for this job is still 30 cents per person per day.
Shao Dalang and Xu were naturally happy.
When going into the mountains, look for mushroom strains and mycelium as well as wild honey. Of course, it would be even better if you come across precious medicinal herbs such as Ganoderma lucidum.
