Translator: Henyee Translations    Editor: Henyee Translations

Madame Qiao sneered at Concubine Du and Qiao Kou’s misery after she got their properties. She completely ignored their emotions.

Qiao Wei learned about it too and even mocked them.

In their eyes, the concubine and her daughter were just like servants for them to bully around.

The concubine and the daughter would not be able to do anything in retaliation.

Madame Qiao had no time to spare any more energy on the concubine and the daughter. She scraped again and got more than 7,000 liang in total. But that was still not enough.

They had got everything they could offer, but they had the target of 10,000 liang.

Actually, they would need at least 15,000 liang if they wanted to live well in the capital.

Officer Qiao got so annoyed that he fell sick.

The couple were really worked up but could not come up with any useful method.

They were in a terrible mood and even argued with each other a few times.

Meanwhile, in the first section of the Shao family, the fruit trees that Qiao Xuan had planted were growing very well. The bananas were nearly taller than she was.

The lychee, and the mango trees were getting as thick as a finger and as tall as one meter. They were placed in a neat order in the empty place of the garden.

Due to the hot weather, the mushrooms, wooden-ears and snow fungus were growing very fast too. The family picked some and sun dried them in the yard.

When this batch was sundried, they could deliver it to the province.

They would even send the lipsticks to Yuezheng Xiao at that time, so that Yuezheng Xiao was saved the trouble of sending anyone over.

The dried snow fungus weighed around 50 kgs, and was of the best quality. Qiao Xuan could easily sell them at 30 liang per 500 grams.

They were going to earn at least 6,000 liang on this deal.

That was such a pleasing thing.

Seeing the tender vegetables growing in the garden, Qiao Xuan had a plan of making rice rolled in lettuce.

As the name suggested, rice rolled in lettuce meant wrapping the fried rice with fresh and tender lettuce leaves. It should be eaten when hot. It had both the aroma of the food and the freshness of the lettuce. It was hot inside and cool outside, and tasted great.

This fried rice was not as simple as the ordinary fried rice with eggs, and the condiments were very rich.

They included chopped bacon, diced fresh meat, diced bamboo shoots, diced mushrooms, minced leeks, minced pickles, minced eggs, etc.

Some seasoning needed to be added, after which the ingredients would be stir-fried and added to the cooled rice. Finally, a spoonful of meat oil needed to be put in, making it taste better.

After the stir-fry was done, they put it on the table in a large steaming bowl. They could scoop up a spoonful of it while it was still hot, and Wrap it in fresh and tender lettuce leaves. They could eat it like a wrap of roasted pork belly.

It was tasty and they could make it themselves easily.

When the dish was served, Taotao, Qi and Shao Sanlang as well as his foodie wife loved it.

Qiao Xuan enjoyed the texture, and thought that she should have made this earlier.

She was going to seriously plan what to make in the future. She had money, time as well as efficient helpers.

The following day, Qi and Taotao caught a lot of snails and came back to cook half of them as snacks. The small ones were fed to the ducks.

Qiao Xuan picked some more and added lemon juice, basil, dried chili and so on to make an old duck snail pot..
