The people of Rose Star don't even have the concept of eating, because they rely entirely on nutrient solutions to satisfy their hunger. It was the people of Water Blue Star who brought the concept of gourmet food to this planet.
So Nangong Chen was quite surprised to hear that Grandpa Ye wanted to have lunch.
Grandpa Ye said with a smile, "Yes, Miss Nan has been sending me ingredients for about a month. Recently, I've been following the habits of your Blue Star, eating three meals a day, and the taste is simply extraordinary!"
"Sometimes I feel that the customs of the Blue Planet aren't so bad after all?"
The fact that Mr. Ye gave such a review proves that he really enjoys these delicacies.
Ye Chaoqun also chimed in, saying, "Nangong, you have no idea how obsessed my grandfather is with these delicacies. He kept twenty boxes of rose cakes that he brought back from the food fair!"
"And those extra dozen or so boxes were deducted from our combined share!"
"Ye Chaonan and I were so wronged back then..."
Ye Chaoqun embellished the story a bit, but his words did manage to make Old Master Ye laugh.
He now understands that Ye Chaoqun has truly decided on Nangong Chen, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken up for him in front of him.
When the two families discussed the marriage alliance, they wanted Ye Chaoqun and Fu Tingshen to get to know each other.
This would be equivalent to a powerful alliance between two families. However, Ye Chaoqun used to look down on Fu Tingshen, unlike now, when he is so submissive in front of Nangong Chen.
Old Master Ye was a little worried. If Nangong Chen was not a talent that satisfied him, Ye Chaoqun would become more and more entangled and might not be able to get out.
He sighed inwardly, but seeing how happy and harmonious the two of them were together, he silently shook his head.
So far, Nangong Chen's performance has satisfied him. As for the future, only time will tell.
Grandpa Ye said, "Nangong, so you came to see me today specifically to ask what I've been eating for my three meals a day?"
Upon hearing this question, Nangong Chen immediately felt a little embarrassed.
He shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant, Grandpa Ye. I actually grew that potted plant, so I brought it here specifically to give to you!"
Nangong Chen simply put the potted plant out and placed it in the living room.
The bonsai was initially wrapped in something white. When he lifted the white outer layer of cloth, the bonsai was placed in the center of the living room in a very beautiful way.
"So beautiful!" Ye Chaoqun exclaimed enthusiastically.
However, it wasn't because Ye Chaoqun was there to support Nangong Chen, because Ye Chaonan and Grandpa Ye were also stunned.
"Is this a bonsai? It looks like some plants have been pruned and put into this pot?" Grandpa Ye asked.
Ye Chaonan also frowned and quickly took two steps forward, as if to observe what was so special about this bonsai.
Nangong Chen was startled by their expressions, because they didn't look at him like he was looking at a plant; it was as if they were looking at a monster.
“Grandpa, we on Water Blue Star also have a rather different way of life. After all, our homes are just too cold and monotonous, so sometimes we put some green potted plants or plant some colorful flowers and plants, which makes things more refreshing and harmonious!”
"Because when someone is feeling frustrated at work, seeing these green plants can really lift their spirits!"
"Of course, customs might be a little different between the two planets..."
Nangong Chen sat upright, just like a child who had made a mistake and was seeing his teacher.
Grandpa Ye nodded. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing. It seemed that every day he spent with those people from Water Blue Star was full of surprises.
Having learned about the concept of gourmet food before, he later learned about tea ceremony. He even asked Nan Xiangwan for a tea set, and recently he has been brewing a pot of tea every day when discussing business. He's practically addicted to it.
Now, he has learned about the custom of bonsai from Nangong Chen, which he finds novel and interesting.
"I see. What do you think?" Old Master Ye glanced at Ye Chaoqun and Ye Chaonan.
Ye Chaonan nodded and said, "It's good. I lived with their spaceship for a while, and to be honest, having this kind of plant around makes me feel less lonely!"
"In the vast universe, it is actually a very lonely thing to travel alone in a spaceship to fight against interstellar monsters!"
"Especially in the cold spaceship, with only a few living creatures, that feeling is truly suffocating!"
Ye Chaonan and Zhan Siyu once fought against the interstellar fleet of the monster Water Blue Star. The difference between them and those on Rose Star was that they had these potted plants.
After spending some time among the two fleets, Ye Chaonan finally noticed the differences between them.
Grandpa Ye raised an eyebrow, instantly showing interest.
If that's the case, it could not only improve their current living conditions, but also present a very good business opportunity.
"That's interesting!" Old Master Ye said with great interest.
Seeing how interested the old man was, Nangong Chen finally smiled happily. He glanced at Ye Chaoqun, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed.
"If the old man likes them, I'll send him a few more pots after I've planted the seeds!" Nangong Chen said.
Grandpa Ye looked up, appearing quite surprised.
"These potted plants must be quite expensive. How many do you have? Isn't that too much of a burden for you?" On the surface, Grandpa Ye seemed to be concerned about Nangong Chen, but in reality, he was just testing him.
"Absolutely not, Grandpa Ye. It's just a matter of a pot of soil and a seed!"
"Furthermore, we have developed a new nutrient ripening agent, which has greatly accelerated the growth rate of plants!"
"It takes about three weeks to grow a potted plant like this. If you're interested, I'll bring you one every week from now on."
Nangong Chen's true intentions were not what they seemed.
Ye Chaonan, who was standing next to him, was amused by him. Old Master Ye also smiled helplessly, while Ye Chaoqun blushed a little.
Nangong Chen meant that he would visit the Ye residence more often in the future. Of course, he wouldn't come for nothing, nor would he come without a reason. He would use the excuse of delivering potted plants.
Grandpa Ye laughed heartily and said, "Alright, let's decide it this way. You've shown some consideration. Now you two young people don't need to stay here anymore!"
"I'll take a good look at this bonsai. Let the young people go wherever they want. Anyway, Grandpa is old and can't control you anymore!"
