Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home - Chapter 171

171 Dirty Shoes

“Old Master, don’t worry, I will definitely discipline her and she won’t mess around any more.”

Officer Qiao could not help but frown when he heard about Qiao Xuan.

He said disdainfully, “The Second Miss is so useless. She won’t achieve anything in her life! I can just give her up but Wei is different. She is going to marry someone good in the capital, and she has to learn to behave well. Otherwise she will cause a lot of trouble in the capital. You have to learn how to rectify her temper properly…”

Hearing what he said, Madame Qiao was feeling both glad and proud. She had been making plans for years and Qiao Xuan was now nothing in her husband’s eyes.

!!
Well, that bitch was really nothing. She was not even good enough to hold Wei’s shoes!

“Old Master is right! I have not been cautious enough. I thought that a maid could do whatever she wants when she is at her own home and that she will behave well when she is married. That is why I decided to spoil her a little. You are the one who treats Wei the best!”

“Don’t worry, Old Master, I will pass on your message to Wei. She will definitely understand your intention and a kind girl like her would surely correct her mistakes.”

As for Qiao Xuan? Madame Qiao said nothing more.

There was no need to mention her at all.

In her eyes, she was just a weed that would stain her shoes, after stepping on her.

Officer Qiao was gratified. He sorted his beard and nodded. “That is right!”

In the first section of the Shao Family at the village.

The Chinese Mesona picked from the day before was already planted in the floral corner of the field. Qiao Xuan decided to make a meal to bring in the taste.

That thing was very easy to make. The leaves were mashed, a double layer of cotton gauze was used to wrap it, and then it was rubbed in the basin with cold water.

After rubbing and filtering twice, it would sit there for a couple of days.

She also got a huge amount of mint leaves from Shao Taotao, who minced it so as to extract some juice from it. She made a huge bowl of brown sugar and added some honey into the bowl.

When the jelly was made, she carefully added one spoonful to the bowl, mixed it and added some brown-sugar water, some mint juice and served it to everyone.

Shao Taotao was instantly attracted to the jelly-like texture, smooth and sweet.

“This is called jelly! So tasty, better than the pastry bought in the town!”

“Fifth Sister-in-law, can we sell this too? There are still many Chinese Mesona in the mountains. We can use them!”

“Yes, we can try that!”

“Yeah, it is so tasty!”

“…”

Ms. Fang was astonished as well. She ate one bowl and praised Qiao Xuan.

“You are really clever to find such a wonderful trick. It is a good snack during summer!”

Ms. Fang did not care if they had to use some sugar in it.

Qiao Xuan served a bowl to Shao Yunduan who was busy studying at home. She blinked and asked for praise. “What do you think?”

Shao Yunduan took one bite and the sweetness went straight into his heart. He nodded. “It is so tasty, no one else would be able to think of how to make something like this!”

“That is right!” Qiao Xuan was satisfied and proud too. “Let me think more about this. Maybe, we can add more ingredients for better taste.”

Mint and sugar were the fundamental things for jelly. Some other spices, like raisins, chopped walnuts, almonds, shredded hawthorn, sweet red bean paste, milk, juice, chopped fresh fruits could also be added alongside.

Shao Yunduan smiled. “You will definitely figure it out!”
