Qiao Xuan was overjoyed by the prospects. In just over a month, the cassavas would be ready, allowing them to expand the variety of balls and bubble teas in the dessert stores, effectively doubling their offerings once again.
The creeping figs would also be ripe by then. They had a plentiful supply from the wild and an additional 200 mu at Zhang Village. Thanks to her extraordinary abilities, the plants were thriving and spreading in all directions.
After the harvest, they would have more than enough to sustain all seven dessert stores for an entire year. However, Qiao Xuan acknowledged that the popularity of jelly would primarily be during the hot summer months.
Qiao Xuan requested Shao Yunduan to write a letter back to Yuezheng Xiao, informing him about the success of the dessert stores. Additionally, she asked for Yuezheng Xiao's assistance in obtaining seedlings for plants such as dragon fruit, papaya, banana, pineapple, sugar cane, and tangerine oranges. Her plan was to cultivate them on the outskirts of the province.
Under their attentive care, the locally grown fruits flourished.
Qiao Xuan was pleasantly surprised and elated by the progress.
Upon their return from the province, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan discovered that the dragon fruits, papayas, bananas, pineapples, sugarcanes, oranges, and tangerines were already bearing fruits. Their growth was impressive, and they appeared nearly perfect in size and appearance.
Qiao Xuan used her superpower to enhance their growth, ensuring that the fruits maintained their size and ripened beautifully.
These fruits would undoubtedly be utilized in the dessert stores, as both their juice and flesh would prove to be practical and delicious additions to the menu.
Once the planting in the province was completed, Qiao Xuan made the decision to sell the fresh fruits beyond just the dessert stores. However, she opted not to seek a business partner for this venture.
While she could have chosen to wholesale the fruits to the Yuezheng Family, she felt the need to establish her own independent holdings and not rely solely on their connections.
As autumn arrived, the fruits began to grow rapidly. With everything settled and having spent a considerable amount of time in the province, they decided to embark on a mountain visit.
Qi and Taotao were particularly excited about the prospect, and even Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni, who had longed for the taste of fresh wild animals, eagerly anticipated the trip.
Early in the morning, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, and many others embarked on their trip into the mountains. The refreshing sight of the flourishing plants after a long time brought them joy. Along the way, they spotted fresh and delectable mushrooms, picking the juiciest ones to take along.
While some wild-growing grapes, dates, and pears were too ripe to harvest, other wild fruits had reached the perfect level of ripeness for consumption.
Their main focus during the trip was hunting. Qi, as he continued to grow, benefited from the family's improved lifestyle and had a hearty appetite. He had become taller and stronger compared to the previous year, displaying the silhouette of an adult and demonstrating great strength in pulling the bowstring.
Two years later, Qi would have grown to the point where he could no longer be considered a young boy. The autumn days offered an abundance of succulent prey for hunting. Qi's interests had shifted, and he no longer found satisfaction in catching roosters and rabbits, despite Shao Sanlangs persistent requests.
Understanding Qiao Xuan's fondness for roosters and pigeons, Qi made sure to catch some for her as well, knowing it would bring her joy..
