With this haul, and since the three of them already had plenty of seafood in their buckets, they decided to stop beachcombing and instead carried their buckets back to the hotel.
The collected seafood will be handed over to the hotel staff for processing, and then cooked into delicious food to be served at the restaurant for them to enjoy.
Lin Xiaoxiao was unaware of the gold bracelet incident. She happily returned to her room, took a hot shower, and then sat in front of the French windows to start doing her homework.
Zhang Xiaolan and Lin Xue whispered amongst themselves for a while before deciding to put the large gold bracelet away.
This is a gold bracelet from a well-known brand; if you were to sell it, it would be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan.
With this realization, Zhang Xiaolan was no longer so distressed about the expenses they incurred on this trip.
Who would have thought that traveling costs money, yet they were able to make their money back?
After the hotel staff came over to say that lunch was ready, the three of them leisurely went to the restaurant to enjoy the delicious food they had personally prepared.
In the afternoon, I took the two of them for a stroll along the beach. In the evening, instead of having barbecue, we went to a seafood restaurant.
I also went to the famous night market and ate a lot of delicious snacks.
I bought some local specialties and went back to the hotel to sleep, planning to set off for the next destination the next day.
Our next destination is a famous ancient city, where I've heard that many wealthy people like to open guesthouses.
Moreover, they are all handsome and wealthy young men, as a famous saying circulates in the area.
A guesthouse owner in the ancient city is looking for a wife, but not a long-term wife.
Many young girls find this sentence very romantic, but Lin Xue still doesn't know exactly what makes it romantic.
"Honey, I see that the architecture, scenery, clothing, and customs here are very different from those back home!"
"Why don't we stay here for a couple more days? I'd like to buy a set of local ethnic minority clothing. Could you take some photos of me then so I can keep them as souvenirs?"
After arriving in the ancient city, Zhang Xiaolan took her granddaughter out to wander around the various alleys every day.
She had never seen a city like this before; all the buildings were antique and elegant, and every courtyard was decorated with flowers.
Moreover, there is a small bridge every two households, and a crystal-clear stream flows through the doorway of each household.
The phrase "a small bridge, flowing water, and a family home" truly evokes a unique charm.
Moreover, many tourists visit the ancient city, which makes the local people more willing to wear their ethnic costumes.
On the one hand, it reflects the local ethnic customs, and on the other hand, it can attract tourists to buy local specialties.
Just two days after arriving, Lin Xue and the other two changed into local ethnic costumes.
Moreover, their arrival was quite opportune, as they happened to be there during the local flower festival.
The ancient city, which was originally filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, was now overwhelmed by a large number of potted flowers.
Wherever you go, you'll find birds singing and flowers blooming, with vibrant and beautiful blossoms everywhere you look.
Every three steps reveals a new scene, every five steps a new color.
It truly is a city of a hundred flowers!
Just after dinner that day, Zhang Xiaolan pulled Lin Xue and Lin Xiaoxiao aside, saying she was going to take them to the Hundred Flowers Festival.
The pedestrians on the street were all carrying flowers or wearing flower wreaths.
The tourists were also decorated with flowers to varying degrees.
There were also vendors selling their products on both sides of the street, such as flower cakes, flower wine, wildflower honey, and various flower teas and wines.
In addition to the vendors promoting their beautifully packaged gifts, residents from the vicinity of the ancient city also brought their homemade specialties to participate in the Flower Festival.
Compared to the exquisite gifts sold by merchants, many tourists prefer the authentic food made by locals themselves.
Here they were, Zhang Xiaolan and her grandson, squatting in front of a small stall, unwilling to move.
"Grandma, what are you selling here?"
Lin Xue looked at the earthenware jars in front of the old woman. She didn't know what was inside, but it was probably something like pickled vegetables.
"It's stinky tofu, spicy and fragrant, and I made it myself!"
The old woman's Mandarin wasn't very good, so she used a lot of gestures to finally make Lin Xue and the others understand what she was selling.
After saying that, the old woman used chopsticks to pick out a piece of bright red stinky tofu from the jar.
The stinky tofu is a small, square piece, pale yellow in color, and coated with chili powder.
It seemed to have added various spices such as ginger, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns, and the smell was a bit strange, but Lin Xue took a bite and found that the spicy and savory taste was absolutely perfect with rice.
Of course, some people from other places call this stinky tofu "fermented tofu", and the taste is absolutely explosive!
"Grandma, your cooking is really good!"
"I've never had stinky tofu with this flavor anywhere else!"
No wonder my mom and niece didn't want to leave. I don't know how they, as northerners, could be interested in this kind of thing.
However, Lin Xue still bought two large jars in the end, since she came in a motorhome and had plenty of room to put them.
After thinking about it, I realized that this stinky tofu actually tastes pretty good.
So after separating from her mother and niece, she went to a local old woman and bought several more jars of the wine, which she stored in her space.
It's a bad habit I developed in previous worlds: whenever I come across something I like to eat, I subconsciously want to save some.
Seeing that Lin Xue bought a lot of things and was very generous, the old ladies recommended some pickled vegetables that they kept for themselves.
Salty and savory fermented black beans, spicy dried radish, pickled vegetables made with bracken fern, and pickled bamboo shoots.
There's also cured pork, ham, cured turkey, cured quail, and honey with baby bee pupae, and stir-fried bee pupae.
Lin Xue accepted everything offered, since her space had a preservation function, and she could take out and eat anything she had stored in this world at any time.
She also personally took her mother and niece to the homes of local people and bought a lot of pure honey. Although the bees were domesticated, the pollen they collected came from wild flowers.
The honey was fragrant and pure, and Lin Xue bought a whole bucketful, intending to take it back for her older brother to use when making delicious food.
During my time in the ancient city, besides experiencing the local customs, I spent most of my time collecting local delicacies.
In addition, we collected some medicinal herbs provided by the local people.
Although Zhang Xiaolan didn't recognize these medicinal herbs, Lin Xue did.
These medicinal herbs were all picked by local people in the mountains. They are purely wild and pollution-free, and have high medicinal value.
It's much higher quality than those you buy in pharmacies.
In addition, many medicinal herbs can be used when making food.
Not only are they harmless to the body, but they can also help to nourish the body. If such things are made into delicious food, they will definitely be both healthy and tasty.
Of course, Lin Xue wouldn't use herbs with strong incompatible interactions; most of her herbs were for health maintenance.
I don't seek merit, I only seek to avoid mistakes!
