258. Flower Cake and Flower Tea



I just don't know what is stored in here.

She cast a questioning look at Ye Nan.

He just smiled but didn't say what was inside.

Since Ye Nan didn't say anything, she had no choice but to put the thing in the room and keep it away carefully.

After that, he followed Xilan out to buy gifts.

Originally, the two of them were shopping together, but because Ye Nan wanted to tag along, they ended up going shopping as a group of three.

Although they were not just shopping, Xilan was actually the only one enjoying it.

Ye Mi used to be more of a homebody and didn’t really like shopping.

If she has a holiday, she would rather stay at home and rest than go out.

However, Xilan obviously went out to play frequently, and she knew the imperial capital's commercial street like the back of her hand.

She knows everything, including what is sold in each location and where the best things are.

After following her on a tour, Ye Mi not only did not feel tired, but became interested instead.

She hasn't forgotten the purpose of going out today.

When it comes to gifts for the elderly, Ye Mi's first reaction is various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, tea, wine, jade, or some health care items.

But these were her previous gift-giving habits, and she doesn't know if it is the same in this era.

There was only Xilan by her side, so she could only ask for her opinion.

"Xiao Lan, do you know what is the best gift to give to an elderly person?"

Xilan thought about it.

In fact, she has never given the elderly any gifts.

But when I think of my old man, he just likes calligraphy and painting.

He doesn't necessarily want the writings and paintings of celebrities, he just likes to collect all kinds of excellent calligraphy and paintings.

It doesn’t matter if you write or draw it yourself, as long as it looks good and is excellent.

The only exception is tea.

In the interstellar world, even fruits and vegetables are rare, let alone tea.

This is a very expensive treasure.

Not only is it expensive, but you may not even be able to buy it.

"Paintings and calligraphy... and tea...? My old man likes this kind of thing."

After she finished saying this, she added, "Xiao Mi is going to give it to Marshal Jiang, right? Marshal Jiang is a very good person. As long as it is a gift from the younger generation, he will accept it. It doesn't have to be something expensive."

Having said that, we still can't be careless.

"Then let's buy some tea..."

"Sister, you want to meet Marshal Jiang? Is he Jiang Yan's grandfather?" Ye Nan couldn't stand Jiang Yan and always called him by his first name.

Ye Mi mentioned it several times at the beginning, but later, seeing that he didn't change, he didn't mention it anymore.

Jiang Yan had no objection to this.

It doesn’t matter if Ye Nan doesn’t like me, as long as his sister likes me.

"Yeah." Ye Mi nodded.

"Then there's no need to go through so much trouble. The floppy disk I gave my sister is the best gift." He originally wanted to show off that thing in front of that man through his sister.

By the way, you can also make some money.

I didn't expect to run into this incident.

Although it's a bit regrettable, I probably won't be able to make much money.

But money is something that can be earned at any time.

"That disk?" Ye Mi and Xi Lan looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

What could be inside that little gadget?

"Yes." Ye Nan repeated himself to confirm his statement, "It's the contents of that disk... We'll know when the time comes."

Although Ye Mi didn't know what he was trying to say, he still chose to believe him.

But despite this, she still planned to buy some tea.

It's not just a floppy disk, no matter what's inside, it's not her own gift.

And giving a floppy disk as a gift to someone when we first meet... I always feel it's a bit weird.

Most of the interstellar land is not suitable for tea cultivation, and the growth environment requirements of tea itself are relatively stringent, so the amount of tea that can be harvested each year can be said to be "very few."

Except for certain quantities that everyone orders every year, the rest will be put up for sale.

It is almost the end of the year now, and even the largest teahouse in the imperial capital has run out of good tea.

Ye Mi took a look and found that most of the remaining ones were of poor color and quality.

It doesn't even smell like tea.

This kind of tea is not as good as the flower tea she made in the game...

yes!

She could make some scented tea!

Ye Mi's eyes lit up instantly.

Seeing her like this, Xi Lan knew that she must have had her own ideas.

"Xiao Lan, do you know where to buy fresh flowers around here?"

"Ah?" Xi Lan didn't expect that she actually wanted to buy flowers.

Are you sending flowers to Marshal Jiang?

This... isn't appropriate...?

Although she didn't quite understand why Ye Mi wanted to buy flowers, she still answered her question, "Yes, there is a garden in front. It's full of flowers. You can go in and pick them yourself, and then come out and pay."

Then the three of them went to the garden that Xilan mentioned.

Facts have proved that Ye Mi was overthinking it.

The flowers she discovered in the garden were beautiful, but she didn't recognize any of them.

How could she dare to make scented tea with flowers she didn't recognize?

This is not a game. If you accidentally choose a poisonous or other inappropriate flower, you will harm others.

But hard work pays off, and she finally found many flowers that she recognized in various places in the garden.

Xilan watched the basket in the robot's hand become fuller and fuller, and she became more and more confused.

"Xiao Mi, what are you going to do with so many flowers?" she asked as she started picking the flowers in Ye Mi's basket.

Ye Nan had no interest in flowers and plants, so he just sat down at the gate of the garden to rest.

"Prepare some flower tea... and then you can prepare some flower cakes."

As soon as the topic of food came up, Xilan understood what she was thinking.

So she also said excitedly that she wanted to learn it.

I thought that when I learned it, I could give it to Lin Junmian to eat.

The two of them stayed in the garden for more than half an hour. Ye Mi picked two baskets and Xi Lan picked one basket.

The flowers she found here were chrysanthemums, roses, honeysuckle, and jasmine.

What surprised Ye Mi the most was that she found a peach tree at the innermost part of the garden.

Originally, this season is not the time for peach blossoms, but the branches are beginning to be filled with small pink flowers.

㱗With the consent of the garden owner, Ye Mi also picked a lot of peach blossoms.

This is also to prepare peach blossom crisps for later use.

Whether it is chrysanthemum, rose, honeysuckle or jasmine, they can all be made into scented tea.

Honeysuckle and jasmine are relatively scarce, so she plans to prepare them into scented tea.

Chrysanthemums and roses are more common and are usually used to make flower cakes, and the other half is dried and used to make tea.

Even though Ye Mi only picked two small baskets, she paid a full 430,000 credit points.
