"There are a lot of people here, you wait for me." Chen Yi patted Li Mei, gave some instructions, and then squeezed into the crowd of women, bought a small box of rouge and gouache.

He took Li Mei's hand and put the small box in her palm, "You take it."

Li Mei was stunned for a moment, and when she realized what was in her hand, she felt both angry and touched. What moved her was that this man really treated her very well, and what made her angry was that he gave her his hard -earned money to buy such things. Expensive stuff.

Li Mei twisted her lips, "Don't buy it next time, it's better to buy a few catties of rice."

Chen Yi nodded honestly, seeing that she was a little angry, "I see."

"Let's go, let's go and ask the tea seller if he will accept it." Although Li Mei felt sorry for the money being spent like this, she was not angry. After all, it was a man who was kind to her, and she was actually sweet in her heart.

When the two arrived at the teahouse, they stopped the waiter, "Do you collect tea here?"

The waiter in the shop was about to lose his temper. Hearing Li Mei's question, he looked the two of them up and down, "Do you have tea?"

Li Mei nodded, "Yes."

Xiao Er also said quietly, "Wait a minute, I can't do this, I have to ask my shopkeeper."

"Well, okay." Li Mei replied politely. Although she was very calm on the surface, she didn't know it in her heart. After all, Chen Yi said that no one seemed to be drinking scented tea here.

Soon the waiter came out, "You two, please follow me."

Li Mei and Chen Yi exchanged glances, followed Xiaoer through a side door, and entered the room. Inside was a middle-aged man in a gray gown. Seeing them coming, "Do you want to sell tea?"

Li Mei nodded, "Yes."

"What tea?" asked the shopkeeper.

Chen Yi put the basket off his shoulders and took out Li Meicai's wild chrysanthemums.

"What we want to sell is not ordinary tea, but the most expensive chrysanthemum tea among scented teas. Chrysanthemum has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying.

Li Mei explained.

The shopkeeper was not interested in what Li Mei said, but frowned, and directly refused, "I'm really sorry, we don't accept scented tea here."

Li Mei originally planned to say something more, but seeing the shopkeeper's expression, she finally pulled Chen Yi back out.

Chen Yi was a little stressed. Li Mei had worked so hard to pick these, but now no one took them, and all the hard work was in vain.

"It's okay, let's go to the next one." Chen Yi said while holding Li Mei's hand.

Li Mei had already expected such a result in her heart, so she was not discouraged, "Well, let's go to another store to see."

The result was not so satisfying. No shop was willing to accept it. When they heard that it was chrysanthemum tea, they all shook their heads and refused.

Seeing that almost all the teahouses in the market had run out, and it was already noon, both of their stomachs started growing.

"Let's go eat a bowl of noodles first." Chen Yi suggested.

I ate half a bowl of porridge in the morning, and Li Mei was really hungry.

The two came to a booth and sat down, "Boss, here are two bowls of noodles."

"Okay, wait a moment, guest officer."

Although the booth was small, there were still a few people sitting there. Seeing that Chen Yi was carrying a pannier, they asked, "Brother, what are you carrying?"

"It's nothing, just the chrysanthemums picked by my daughter-in-law." Chen Yi replied honestly. After all, it's not a valuable thing, so it's okay to say it.
