That was good. In this way, flowers would grow even more vividly.

When it was sunny again, she decided to use her superpower. Then soon, the flowers would bloom flourishingly.

However, the watermelons were not in the same state.

Although she used her superpower to make the watermelons grow better so that they could have stronger resistance against the environment compared to the ordinary ones, watermelons were, after all, watermelons. They were afraid of the water piled up.

Water puddles rottened the fruits.

And the texture as well as the sweetness would be heavily reduced.

That was horrible!

She decided to sell them at a lower price if Yuezheng Xiao’s men came to fetch them after a few days.

With many helping hands, honey was all done.

There were many jars holding them, and each of them took one jar home and left the rest for sale.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “I only need this much and I don’t need the profits gained from the honey sale this time. Everyone can have a share. Elder Brother, Sister-in-law, though you were not with us in the mountains, you worked so hard and you should have some profits too!”

Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni were not picky people. So they nodded in agreement.

Shao Taotao smiled. “Fifth Sister-in-law found the honeycombs and she has the final call on everything!”

She hoped that this kind of day would last for a long time. However, if someone became selfish in the future, they would live separately, and would not have a row with each other.

Ms. Xu had plenty of money and she was much happier right now. Yang Xiaoni did not have many thoughts. It was Qi’s wife who remained to be seen.

It was still raining the following day. They were all bored.

Ms. Fang felt very concerned about the watermelons in the yard. Qiao Xuan asked Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu to fetch some large ones home. They decided to remove the seeds and make some watermelon candies.

They were bored so they had this idea, so they could save some watermelons on the way.

They were both very excited and curious about it and helped along.

The watermelons were slowly simmered on low heat and filtered with gauze. The amber-colored viscous syrup obtained in the end was very beautiful. When people tasted it, there was a unique fragrance of watermelon in the sweetness, which was very tempting.

Qiao Xuan had a couple of large plates in her hands and poured the syrup in them.

They waited until the liquid solidified.

After two hours, the syrup set in. When it went harder, it was cut into finger sizes and watermelon candies were formed, as the new sort of snack.

It was not easy to see candies in this era, so children at home got so happy to get candies like that.

Shao Junyan and Shao Qing were excited, and Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were happy to eat them as well.

Shao Sanlang and Yang Xiaoni were no exceptions. Both of them were so happy about it.

Qiao Xuan tasted one and felt really satisfied. She gave it to Shao Yunduan and smiled. “Sweet, huh? The watermelon candies could be good snacks, handy and tasty, we can buy some yellow paper to wrap them up next time we go into the town, and we can save them in the jar.”

When they made the candies in the future, they could also add some crushed peanuts, crushed walnuts, raisins, mint juice, rose juice, osmanthus. That meant that they could eat all kinds of candies..
