Chapter 312 Fruit Shaved Ice
Summer in Chaoyang City is extremely hot and humid. Even sitting under the shade of a tree, you can feel the sweltering heat all around, like a giant steamer, making it very uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Josh launched a new product – fruit shaved ice.

It makes full use of the farm's abundant magic fruit tree resources and the powerful ice attribute energy of the big-tailed yak.

The sweltering weather causes the big-tailed yaks to run to the snow-capped mountains before sunrise every morning to escape the heat, and they will not return until sunset.

Before it leaves home in the morning, it freezes the ice cubes Josh needs for the day.

Then, the pink-feathered pelicans transported them to the Weiguang Commercial District.

Next to the lemonade stand, Josh set up a new shaved ice stand and hired a metal-elemental ability user to shave the thick ice into ice shavings.

Then add various jams, and finally a spoonful of magic fruit chunks from Weiguang Farm, which are sweet and sour, and refreshing.

Different types of magic fruits have different prices, but they all have one thing in common: they are all highly regarded by the public and taste delicious.

Moreover, the prices are reasonable, making it affordable and accessible to everyone who comes to the Weiguang Commercial District.

Now, its daily sales have far surpassed those of lemonade, making it a latecomer that has overtaken its competitors.

Even Josh herself enjoys a bowl of chilled fruit shaved ice on a hot afternoon—no, it's not just her, but all the members of Glimmer Farm.

Even the magical beasts on the farm need a large serving of fruit shaved ice every day to come back to life; otherwise, they'll lazily hide in their enclosures all day, too lazy to move.

"Miss Josh, Miss Josh, we're here!" Jenna and Lily led the beavers towards Josh to collect their high-temperature allowance for the day.

"Take your time, no rush. What flavor do you want?" Josh said with a smile.

"I want the argan strawberry one," Jenna said excitedly, pointing to the portion next to her that was held by Aunt Rose, who was holding a red argan strawberry flavor.

"I'll try the bittersweet mint flavor today, and the argan berry flavor tomorrow." Lily hesitated for a moment before deciding to try what interested her first.

"no problem!"

Josh had over-pruned the rose gooseberry and red aronia branches a bit too much, and thought he wouldn't be able to eat fresh aronias this year. But to his surprise, after the spring rain, these saplings sprouted tender green buds.

It actually produced a few fruits.

Although there weren't many, with only a few fruits on each tree, Josh collected them all, filling a small basket to the brim, just enough to make a jar of berry jam.

The red argan berry was obtained by Josh in exchange with Puda, who was drawn to its anti-aging effects as both a food and a medicine.

According to her later consultation with teacher Luman, the highest quality red argan berries can indeed delay the aging process in humans and animals by several years or even several decades.

Even red argan berries of average quality are sufficient for anti-aging skincare. Eating a few berries daily can effectively reduce signs of aging on the skin, making them the truly authentic argan berries.

Josh just happened to have a jar of aronia berry jam that she made, and it wasn't enough to sell, so she shared it with everyone so that she could see the effects of aronia berries firsthand.

Especially Aunt Rose, who was the oldest among them and had worked in the restaurant and kitchen for many years, so her face was inevitably a bit rough and wrinkled.

So when they had afternoon tea, Josh specifically asked Aunt Rose if she'd like to have some. No problem, Aunt Rose immediately agreed. Why ask her permission for something so good? Of course, she'd give it her all!

Whether it was just Josh's imagination or the red berry really did have a significant effect, this was only the third day of eating berry shaved ice, and Josh felt that Aunt Rose's skin was much firmer and the wrinkles around her eyes had faded.

But it turns out it wasn't just Josh's imagination. Jenna and Lily both noticed. That's why she rushed over today, having already told Josh she wanted the berry flavor too.

"Wow, it smells so good, I'm going to dig in!" Jenna exclaimed dramatically, then pretended to clink glasses with Lily before eagerly digging in.

The other male employees had already taken their fruit shaved ice and gone to find a place to eat, instead of squeezing in with Josh and the others.

This allowed the group to chat freely.

"It's a bit sour." Jenna squinted her eyes and grimaced after taking a big bite.

"Haha, Jenna, you're too impatient." Aunt Rose knew the tartness of the red berry jam, and couldn't help but laugh when she saw Jenna like this.

"This is indeed very sour. I didn't add much sugar or honey the first time I made it." Josh chuckled and picked up the granulated sugar on the table, asking, "Do you need some sugar added?"

"Yes, yes." Jenna quickly handed over the bowl of ice. "Miss Josh, please give me lots of sugar, it's too sour." She was still savoring the extreme sourness.

“Try mine, it’s absolutely delicious.” After laughing gleefully, Lily scooped a large spoonful of her bittersweet mint shaved ice for Jenna.

Jenna gulped it down, then her eyes lit up, and she mumbled, "Delicious, delicious, Lily, yours is so delicious."

The refreshing mint neutralizes the bitterness of the candy, and when paired with rich fruit nectar, it's cool, refreshing, and not overly sweet—Josh's favorite flavor.

"Haha, if I have the chance to make it again next time, I'll put in more honey," Josh said with a laugh.

"Hehe, this is already very good. We usually can't afford such precious things." Jenna, with the sweet taste of bitter candy mint shaved ice still in her mouth, stuffed another spoonful of ageberry shaved ice into her mouth and said earnestly to Josh.

Aunt Rose nodded vigorously. To her, it really felt like a windfall. Not only did she get a salary from work, but she also got to eat good food for no reason. When she got home that night, her children all said she looked younger.

This is something you can't buy even with a lot of federal points.

She was very grateful to Josh for the job opportunity she had been given, and during her time working there, she had developed a deep affection for everything on the farm. She thought that as long as Josh didn't mind, she would dedicate all her remaining years to the farm, as long as she could still work.

Hearing Jenna say that, Josh smiled and said, "This is also part of the farm work. It's like using you guys as an experiment. Don't think so highly of me."

"Hehe, Miss Josh, you're just that nice." Jenna didn't care; if this wasn't nice, what was?

That's it.

That's it.

Jenna and Rose next to them nodded in unison, agreeing enthusiastically.

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Josh felt a little embarrassed. She wasn't that kind of person, hehe, but she did feel sweet inside.

I haven't been writing much these past two days because of the holiday. I spent my time playing games and farming. I'm reflecting on that, please forgive me, everyone (づ￣ 3￣)づ
