To achieve a smoother texture, the tapioca powder underwent additional rounds of filtration, ensuring its refined quality.
Qiao Xuan discovered various creative uses for the tapioca flour. Whenbined with steamed pumpkins and taros, they crafted delectable taro balls of different colors and vors. Additionally, by blending the powder with brown sugar, they could concoct vorful bubble tea, a delightful treat for all.
In preparation for the uing Mid-Autumn Day, they nned to sun-dry the cassavas so they could transport them to the province. The dried cassavas would then be used to make winter desserts, incorporating taros, bubbles, and sugar water.
However, a challenge remained: despite the increased production volume enabled by Qiao Xuan’s superpower, the total volume was still insufficient.
They needed a steady daily supply to ensure that the stock wouldst until the following year. Nevertheless, they remained optimistic that the situation would improve in theing year, allowing for greater production and avability.
With the arrival of autumn and the colder weather, Qiao Xuan decided to hire workers to cultivate more barrennd for cassava nting.
The vigers were intrigued by the unfamiliar crop and began asking questions. Qiao Xuan openly shared her knowledge, exining the characteristics of the nt and how it should be handled. Whenever someone inquired about cassavas, she would provide detailed information and instructions.
One crucial point Qiao Xuan emphasized was that fresh cassavas needed to be bleached before consumption to remove toxins. This revtion surprised many, but their interest grew significantly after tasting the delicious cassava-based dishes such as balls, dumplings, steamed pastries, and pancakes.
Since wheat couldn’t be grown in their region and flour was expensive, cassavas became a viable and economical alternative. The ease of cultivation made it essible for every household, and within three years, cassava nts spread to neighboring viges as well.
The powdered form of cassava was nearly identical to flour, making it a versatile and widely used ingredient in various culinary creations.
The cassava nts thrived in various types of soil, thanks to Qiao Xuan’s superpower that facilitated their growth. They adapted well to the local climate and producedrger, more abundant fruits.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, it was customary for the vigers to visit the Qiao Family and exchange gifts. They also nned to present gifts to the Yuezheng Family and Xie Jingrong, with thetter receiving gifts on behalf of Yuezheng Xiao.
Dragon fruits, papayas, pineapples, sugarcanes, tangerines, and bananas were all reaching maturity. The first section of the family had already indulged in the delightful vors of these fruits and praised their quality. The bananas, pineapples, and dragon fruits were especially well-received.
Qiao Xuan carefully selected the ripe fruits as presents for the Yuezheng Family and Xie Jingrong. Although the quantity wasn’trge, the fruits were exceptionally fresh and vorful.
Under First Madame’s instructions, Qu Shan was tasked with delivering the gifts along with those from Xie Jingrong. Qiao Xuan entrusted Qu Shan to handle the transportation of the gifts back to their intended recipients.
Qiao Xuan made a mental note to bring arger quantity of fruits on her next visit. The fruits were thriving and possessed a delicious vor that she was certain would be enjoyed by Yuezheng Xiao and the rest of the family.
As for the gifts prepared for the Qiao Family, they were not particrly extravagant. They didn’t include any of the fruits or special nts grown in their garden, such as watermelons or the precious snow fungus, honey, and lipsticks. Instead, they adhered to the traditional practice of purchasing items from stores.
However, this time they bought a slightlyrger quantity of giftspared to previous visits, as the Qiao Family were aware that they were in a better financial situation..
