There were large animals in the mountains, many of them actually, but they were not to be hunted.

Qiao Xuan found a herd of wild sheep, mountain deer, and muntjacs several times, but the distance was not close, and the mountain road was not easy to walk. By the time they walked over, they would have gone nowhere.

They were not professional hunters and they were not strong enough to run after them.

Shao Xiaoqi might be able to cope up, but not the rest.

No one would allow Shao Xiaoqi to hunt them down alone anyway, what if something happened to him.

Anyways, what they had got was already enough.

Back at home, Qiao Xuan and Taotao started to make the jelly together.

The fresh creeping figs worked well.

When the jelly that was solidified like crystal in the large porcelain bowl was ready, they used a spoon to scoop small pieces into the small bowl to break it, added the boiled honey syrup and a little mint juice, and carried them out.

Everyone from the first section of the family seemed to look forward to the jelly, including the two youngest children who were really eager to eat them.

Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong got even more curious about it.

When the jelly was finally served, they saw how it looked and became aware that the waiting was worth it.

They took a spoonful of it quickly. It was smooth, tender, and elastic. The sweetness of honey and the coolness of mint adjusted the taste of jelly, turning it into a delicious snack.

Yuezheng Xiao was surprised. “How amazing! How can the fruits lead to such a thing?”

Xie Jingrong was very impressed as well.

They were born noble and had been offered numerous delicious things, but they were only served when the dishes were ready.

That was the first time for them to pick the ingredients, make them and see how the dishes were prepared. So they found the whole thing really interesting!

The fruits that looked so ordinary had been turned into such crystal-clear jelly after some processing!

It looked beautiful and was delicious too.

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Later, I will ask my husband to write the recipe to you, and you should take some of these fresh fruits back! It’s too late today, but you can add some chopped walnuts, chopped peanuts, raisins, etc., or even diced fresh fruit to this jelly. It would taste excellent. It’s a pity that there is no ice at home, otherwise adding crushed ice makes it more delicious!”

Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong thanked her happily.

Yuezheng Xiao looked at the couple and suddenly smiled. “Brother Shao, and Sister-in-law, I have an idea. Why don’t we open another store and just sell this jelly? Brother Xie, join us as well. I’ll find two reliable dessert masters. Besides this jelly, if I think about a few other things, this shop will definitely be operated well. Brother Xie and I pay the cost, and we share the profit equally. As for the raw materials, Brother Shao and the others provide them here, and the store buys them at market prices.”

Qiao Xuan had predicted something like this to happen. She exchanged a look with Shao Yunduan, who did not object, so Qiao Xuan smiled. “That should

work, when it gets hotter next year. We can find some fruits before it happens, otherwise the raw materials would not be enough. But we can’t just keep looking for fruits, since their availability is totally out of our control. We can buy land and plant them ourselves.”

Yuezheng Xiao smiled vigorously. “You can think about this whilst we can find some suitable store for it.. We should make it work, though it is a small thing, the profits should be huge!’
