They only had 300 grapefruits available per day, and unsurprisingly, they sold out within half a day due to their immense popularity.

The grapefruit was an exquisite treat, with its delightful sweetness and delectable taste, complemented by a golden outer skin that carried a wonderfully comforting fragrance. Its perfection, both inside and out, made it a perfect fruit for the season, leaving everyone wanting more.

Despite its high demand, the production volume remained small, adding to its allure as a rare and precious commodity. The scarcity only served to make people desire it even more.

Qiao Xuan expressed her plans for the future, hoping to increase production next year to meet the growing demand. With larger yields, they might not need to enforce limitations and could even supply smaller vendors. Qiao Xuan also looked forward to the prospects of other fruits, like lychees, longans, mangos, and mangosteens, hoping they would bear fruit the following year.

Looking at the flourishing fruit trees, Qiao Xuan expressed her satisfaction with their growth. She credited the success to the excellent land and her effective nutrient solution. Yuezheng Xiao shared in her excitement and admiration for the remarkable results.

Yuezheng Xiao often visited the orchard out of genuine interest and curiosity. He found Qiao Xuan’s nutrient solution to be magical, producing such impressive results. However, he was aware that it was a scarce resource, and Qiao Xuan had limited quantities left. She had obtained a key ingredient to make the solution before, but it was no longer available, leaving her chances of replicating it uncertain. Therefore, she had to be careful with the remaining supply, making Yuezheng Xiao hesitant to ask her for any of it.

However, he couldn’t help but remain curious about Qiao Xuan’s superpower, but he respected her boundaries and didn’t press her for the secret.

Being a businessman and not a farmer, he didn’t possess any nutrient solutions, nor did he covet the knowledge of Qiao Xuan’s abilities.

The lychees, longans, mangosteens, and other fruit trees that had been transplanted from the south were now three years old. Thanks to Qiao Xuan’s superpower, they all survived, even though she only used her ability from time to time, and they were growing quite well.

Most importantly, they were healthy and thriving.

Qiao Xuan decided to use her superpower on them again, expressing her uncertainty about whether these fruit trees could withstand the upcoming winter. However, she remained hopeful that her superpower could aid their survival and enable them to bear fruit the following year.

She believed that if they could make it through the winter, the future would be promising. Since she could use her superpower twice a year, they would gradually adapt to the new environment.

Without any hesitation, Yuezheng Xiao replied, “Of course!”

Qiao Xuan,

Yuezheng Xiao spoke with confidence, “I am prepared for the upcoming winter. Look at the straws! We’ll place them on the thick bed by the end of November and stack them everywhere. When the frosty weather arrives, we’ll burn the straws to release smoke, which will keep us warm. It worked well last year!”

Qiao Xuan smiled in response, “I hope so!”

Besides the various fruit trees mentioned earlier, the orchard also featured cherry trees, blueberries, passion fruits, and grapes, among others. Except for the blueberries, everything else was currently out of season.

The grapes and passion fruits had already been picked, and they had to wait until next year for the cherries to bear fruit. The cantaloupes were also harvested and sold out, leaving only blueberries in abundance.

Qiao Xuan picked a lot of blueberries and tasted them. They were sweet and delectable, with one of them having a slightly sour taste, adding to the overall deliciousness.

Yuezheng Xiao informed her that the blueberries would be picked and delivered to the dessert store. Despite not being very visually appealing, they were sweet and popular among many people.

Agreeing with Yuezheng Xiao, Qiao Xuan decided to pick two baskets of blueberries to enjoy on her way home.
