Having just finished showering, Feng Ye didn't want to squeeze into the crowd.
He doesn't enjoy shopping like women do; he just strolls around casually and buys some local specialties.
In his past life, when he came here to fish, he would bring some back with him, so he has a very clear goal.
The first one is Buddhist tea.
This is one of the traditional specialties of Haizhongzhou, named after the highest peak of the "Buddha Kingdom by the Sea"—Foding Mountain.
It not only has the effects of lowering lipids and blood pressure, but also has a variety of other effects such as aiding digestion, refreshing the mind, strengthening the stomach and relieving indigestion, and moisturizing the intestines and relieving constipation.
However, whether you can buy Buddhist tea in this island town in the middle of the sea is another matter.
Feng Ye walked slowly along the street, his eyes scanning each stall.
There are some tea vendors, but their tea leaves don't look like Buddhist tea at all.
High-quality Putuo Buddha Tea has an appearance that is "neither snail nor eyebrow", with a bright green color covered in fine hairs and a fragrant aroma.
Because of its shape, which is neither perfectly round nor quite like a tadpole, it is also called "Phoenix Tail Tea".
He hadn't found the Buddha tea yet, but he did spot his second target—Guanyin cakes—in a pastry shop.
This is a type of pastry made primarily from seaweed, black sesame seeds, peanuts, and red bean paste, through several refined processes including ingredient preparation, mixing, dough rolling, filling, wrapping, pressing, and baking.
The finished product is golden in color, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a rich natural aroma and does not stick to your teeth.
Upon entering the store, Feng Ye bought two large bags of other pastries, such as salted peach shortbread, rice cakes, and small shortbread cookies.
Anyway, pastries can be stored for a relatively long time, so there's no need to worry about them spoiling if you can't finish them all at once.
Everyone was walking together, and they were all a little surprised to see that Feng Ye had bought so much.
"Ah Ye, why did you buy so much?"
"Having come all this way, of course I should buy more. These pastries are delicious; you can't buy them where I'm from. If you miss them today, you'll have to wait until next year."
"You don't need to buy so many, do you?"
"Not much, not much. Pastries don't spoil easily, so it's fine to buy a little more."
"Then I'll buy some too, to take back for my wife and kids."
Feng Ye laughed and said, "Isn't that right? Don't act like a miser. Money is meant to be spent."
"Haha, Ah Ye is right, I'll buy some too..."
"I'll buy some too..."
Everyone else responded enthusiastically, each selecting some of their favorite pastries and buying a little bit of each.
This made the shop owner so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
After everyone had finished buying, Feng Ye turned around and took a couple of steps, then suddenly stopped, causing Xiao Guowen, who was right behind him, to bump into his back.
Xiao Guowen touched his nose, which was a little sore from the impact: "What are you doing, A-Ye?"
"Oh, there's something I wanted to ask the boss."
As Feng Ye spoke, he turned to the shop owner inside and asked, "Boss, do you know where I can buy Buddhist tea?"
"Buddha Tea, you've come to the right person this time, otherwise you would definitely have been scammed."
The shop owner replied with a smile, "There are five or six shops selling Buddhist tea on the island, and even more stalls, but most of them are just pretending to sell something else."
"I really only know two. One of them is the fifth shop on the left after you go out, and the other one is at the end of this street."
"Okay, thank you, boss."
