Outside the door stood a young boy with his head down, holding a wooden tray in his hand. On the tray were five small porcelain bottles, each marked with a different symbol.
Ai Cao picked up a bottle and looked at it. This bottle was [unflavored], this bottle was [tea-flavored], and this bottle was [fruit-flavored].
The mugwort is probably referring to the taste of the Bigu Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine for fasting).
She accepted the porcelain vase.
The child ran away without looking back.
