Of course she knew that the housekeeper had been fooled as well. But she still felt really annoyed.

Consoling Qjao Wei, Madame Qjao sent someone else to buy watermelons again.

She just did not believe that it was not possible to eat one watermelon.

She was quite vexed. Therefore, she must eat at least one watermelon to drive away the anger.

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper never ran into anyone who was selling watermelons even after spending so many days in the province.

Feeling helpless, the housekeeper did not dare to stay for too long. He returned empty-handed.

The mother and daughter, alongwith Officer Qjao, got very annoyed by this.

They could eat a few watermelons last year, but this year, they managed to eat none.

They felt so horrible not to have been able to eat any.

The more Qiao Wei thought about this, the more angry she became. “I just wanted to eat one watermelon! How can this broken, shabby place offer none. I am so fed up with it!’

Distressed, Madame Qjao consoled her. “It is just a watermelon, nothing precious. It is not so rare that we eat nothing good otherwise. We can get all kinds of things we want when we go back to the capital.” Qjao Wei snorted and felt very displeased. Her face was sullen.

It was so irritating.

On the other hand, in the first section of the Shao Family, watermelons were very popular. Every day at lunchtime, they would cut two large, round ones and have a good taste of it. Their thirst was properly relieved.

Everyone present was very happy.

While County Magistrate Obo’s family failed to get any watermelons, two more wagons full of ripe watermelons were transported out of the village and headed directly towards the province.

This time, Yuezheng Xiao decided to sell the watermelon at the price of 3 qian for one. Three of his friends bought them really quickly.

The clients were very passionate about these watermelons, which he had given out as presents at the beginning. This fruit turned out to be so tasty and sweet, and the cost wasnt high either. They bought them for themselves and friends, and they would not resell them to anyone else.

When watermelons and tea leaves were sold out, Qjao Xuan started to focus upon the business of mushrooms.

The sheds and materials for mushrooms were ready, and the seeds had been found. Once the project kicked off, they were going to make a fortune.

With her superpower in play, Qjao Xuan could easily distinguish the categories of the mushrooms, so she was never anxious about starting with this business.

Ms. Fang and Shao Xiaoqi could not help but feel worried for her. They were worried that the mushrooms were difficult to find and they kept consoling her that she did not need to work so hard for it.

Qjao Xuan smiled and nodded, accepting the kindness.

There was very little they could do in the farmland, and when the last batch of lipsticks was made, the flowers stopped blooming.

Roses had been picked out and the other kinds were already withering. Even if Qiao Xuan wanted to use her superpower, she needed to be cautious.

So, she had to wait a little longer.

Also, the beeswax was used up, and they needed to get some more of that.

Therefore, Qjao Xuan, Shao Xiaoqi, Shao Taotao as well as Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni went into the mountains together.

Shao Dalang and Ms. Xu were helping Qjao Xuan sort out the floral fields, where they trimmed the leaves and watered the plants.

Qjao Xuan brought in some water that was hundreds of meters faraway, and when the water was to be used, the only thing they needed to do was turn it on and the water would come.

They were paid 30 wen a day for their work.

Shao Dalang and Ms. Xu were both quite willing to do the work.

They decided to find mushrooms and wild honey as well as some other precious herbs during their trip to the mountains..
