Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss-Chapter 1514 - : 1513 surprise
Chapter 1514: 1513 surprise
“Let’s do that,” Zhuang Liu said after hearing Xiao Mo’s reply, “We’ll go look for ourselves later.”
“Let’s first check out the florist he recommended. If the flowers aren’t good enough, we can look further. There should be other florists in such a big royal city,” Xiao Mo said.
“Right,” Zhuang Liu responded, “let’s head back and rest for an hour, then we can grab a meal before buying the flowers.”
“Sounds good. I’d like to try some local dishes.” Xiao Mo had only stayed here for one day on his last visit and was accommodated in the royal palace, so he hadn’t had the chance to explore outside. This time he had plenty of time to enjoy several days here.
It had to be said, traveling on public funds was quite joyful.
The royal city gathered delicacies from all over the country. Similar to Country C, the staples in Country J were rice and noodles, but they didn’t eat much sautéed food. Their dishes were either boiled or roasted, with very straightforward methods.
...
“Maybe we should just eat fast food,” Xiao Mo sighed after walking around, “It’s either pancakes or roasted meat. Despite any variation, their essence remains the same.”
Zhuang Liu wasn’t picky, “Just find any place to eat; we have other things to do after eating.”
“Okay,” Xiao Mo said.
So they chose a restaurant that looked clean, which was near the florist, perfect for buying flowers right after their meal. Plus, they had passed the florist earlier and saw that there were many green plants inside, although they still didn’t know the quality of the fresh flowers in the store.
At three in the afternoon local time, Zhuang Liu and Xiao Mo finally had their lunch. They weren’t very hungry because they had eaten quite a bit on the plane; otherwise, they wouldn’t have lasted the ten-plus hours of flight time.
After their meal, the two went to the florist to buy flowers.
“Hello, excuse us; we’d like to buy some fresh flowers,” Xiao Mo said as he pushed the door open.
Kas, who was wrapping flowers, saw a foreigner come in uttering a flurry of words that puzzled him, “What are you saying? I don’t understand.”
Xiao Mo understood that sentence and stuttered in his conversation with Kas, “Hello… I would like some flowers, excuse me… these flowers…”
Kas listened and guessed mostly what he meant, “Oh, do you want to buy flowers?”
“Yes, yes, yes,” Xiao Mo replied, “What flowers do you have here?”
Kas spoke at length in return, and Xiao Mo did not understand a word. It wasn’t Xiao Mo’s fault; when he was learning the J-Country language, he mostly learned everyday phrases, but rarely the names of flowers, which he would not actively study.
“Do you have flowers in blue shades?” Zhuang Liu also came in, “Roses, bellflowers, etc. If not blue, white is also good.”
Kas looked several times before confirming that this young man with black hair was a foreigner, but his J-Country pronunciation was very standard. If you covered his face and hair, you really couldn’t tell he was a foreigner.
“We don’t have blue flowers,” Kas replied, “but we have white ones. You can come over here to pick them yourself.”
Kas’s fresh flowers were all in buckets on the right side. He led Zhuang Liu over to look, “There are other colors of flowers too. You can pick them yourself, and I can wrap them for you for free. Don’t worry, our prices are very cheap, as I cultivate these flowers myself. However, I still recommend selecting a potted plant, as potted plants last longer.”
Zhuang Liu wasn’t concerned about how long the flowers would last; they just needed to look good, “Okay, I’ll think about it.”
Just then, Xiao Mo carried out a box of cherries, just as he was thinking about how to communicate with the owner, the door’s wind chime rang a few times.
“Kas, is Agila here?” Tan Rou pushed the door open, “I’m looking for Agila… Oh? What are you doing here?”
Xiao Mo was also shocked, “Miss Rou!”
Tan Rou immediately asked, “Is Zhuang Liu here too? Did he come?”
Xiao Mo’s gaze moved to the area with the fresh flowers, and Tan Rou looked as well, just in time to see Zhuang Liu holding two fresh white roses and about to pick a third.
For a moment, no one spoke, and only the clinking of the wind chime filled the room.
“I was going to surprise you,” Zhuang Liu said somewhat sadly, “Now the surprise is gone.”
