Qiao Xuan had a substantial amount of ca.s.sava powder, weighing 5KG, along with sun-dried ca.s.savas. Yuezheng Xiao was impressed by the quant.i.ty and planned to send his men to fetch the remaining ca.s.savas.

In addition to the ca.s.savas, Qiao Xuan also presented taro b.a.l.l.s and bubbles to the family. Although they had enjoyed these treats extensively at home, it was Yuezheng Xiao’s first time trying them. Qiao Xuan even suggested sending some to First Madame and Madame Yuezheng.

The combination of taro b.a.l.l.s, bubbles, sugar water, and a portion of milk created a delightful and chewy dessert, which would surely become a favorite among the general population.

Yuezheng Xiao was delighted with the discovery. Not only did it provide a source of income, but it also offered him a delicious food option.

Furthermore, the family was intrigued by the exotic fruits from the south. Dragon fruits and pineapples, sourced from Qiao Xuan’s home, piqued their interest. Madame Yuezheng particularly enjoyed bananas and dragon fruits, while the rest of the family appreciated all the fruits on offer.

Yuezheng Xiao was amazed by Qiao Xuan and her familys ability to successfully grow fruits. Without any hesitation, he promptly a.s.signed a few people to search for dragon fruit, papaya, sugarcane, banana, and pineapple seedlings, as per Qiao Xuan’s request.

Dragon fruits and papayas were particularly favorable as they could be planted and grown at any time. If these fruits flourished, it would expand the variety of desserts available. They might even be able to reduce their dependence on selling southern fruits by half.

The future looked promising.

On the day Madame Qiao and her family arrived in the province, Qiao Xuan, Shao Yunduan, Ms. Fang, and Yang Xiaoni spent the entire day shopping. While Ms. Fang was not one to splurge, Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni couldn’t resist indulging themselves when they came across a wide array of delicious foods.

Ms. Fang felt a pang of concern seeing the expenses, but she reasoned that since they wouldn’t visit the province often and the couple was using their own money, she didn’t intervene to stop them from splurging.

Both Ms. Fang and Eldest Uncle were in awe of the bustling city, and spending an extra day there left them thoroughly satisfied with the experience.

The excitement continued once they returned to their accommodation.

For the next two days, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan planned to explore the province with their family and celebrate the Double Ninth Day with the Yuezheng Family. Afterward, Shao Yunduan had some literary gatherings lined up where he would visit esteemed masters alongside Xie Jingrong.

Shao Yunduan hadn’t had the opportunity to engage in practical discussions with his fellow peers since becoming the Provincial Champion.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xuan decided to inspect the land she had recently purchased.

With the autumn harvest completed, there was an abundance of available laborers. Qiao Xuan made the decision to hire them to begin sorting out the 1,000 mu of land.

Although they would have to wait until spring to cultivate bananas, sugarcane, and pineapples, they could start planting papayas, dragon fruits, tangerines, and pomelos right away.

In addition to these new crops, Qiao Xuan also transferred some lemon and fig trees from the village garden.

While the winter temperatures in the region wouldn’t drop below 5 degrees Celsius, except for the mountain peaks, there was still a possibility of frost, although snowfall was typically minimal.

Before there happened one huge frost storm, and the fruits and crops were all damaged when that happened.

But this case wasn’t frequent.

So Qiao Xuan decided to see if those fruits could still grow well after winter here, with her superpower as the protecting means..
