Chapter 600 - 600 Souvenirs
600 Souvenirs
“Yes, yes, let’s go back. I’ve been out for so long and I’m quite homesick.”
Seeing that his sisters had no objections, Ye Xuan nodded and continued.
“Then let’s go buy something for Dad and Mom tomorrow, such as souvenirs, specialties, and so on. We’ll also bring some for our friends.”
The sisters nodded and lay back down. They picked up their phones and checked the local specialties here, as well as some other memorable items.
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan didn’t stay in the living room for long. He made a cup of tea and went to the balcony to sit and enjoy this comfortable time in a foreign land.
…
The next day, in the morning.
The sun had already slowly risen from the horizon in the east. The light that scattered down made ripples on the sea. The waves swayed and looked very beautiful.
In the hotel, his sisters had already eaten breakfast and rested for a while before returning to their rooms to change. Then, they brought their little brother, Ye Xuan, out of the door and walked into the streets.
Although it was still very early, there were already many people strolling on the streets. Most of them were old people with a gla.s.s of whiskey in their hands and their faces were flushed.
When they saw the sisters, they greeted them warmly and said good morning to everyone. Foreigners indeed had a certain foundation in extroversion and socializing. It felt as if everyone had taken the sociability test.
The sisters naturally smiled and returned the greetings. They greeted one another with “good morning” and enjoyed the refreshing morning breeze.
Then, they walked towards the coffee garden on the Kona Coast. They planned to buy some specialty coffee here and bring it back to their friends. After all, the coffee here was very authentic.
Moreover, the coffee in the United States was produced on Summer Island. The narrow strip on the Kona Coast of Summer Island produced the best coffee in the world, and its production was also among the top. Two million pounds of coffee were produced every year by the coffee land in Kona, which was less than 2,600 acres large.
Their Kona coffee was fragrant, had a unique texture, and had outstanding regional characteristics, allowing it to stand out among international compet.i.tors.
It was good to give such a gift to their friends in China. After all, although there was Kona coffee in the country, there was no such solid and clean plantation that they could buy from.
After a while, everyone arrived at the coffee garden on the Kona Coast and communicated with the people inside. Then, they entered the garden and bought a lot of fresh coffee beans. They also used vacuum packaging to prevent the taste from being damaged by the environment on the way back.
After buying coffee beans, the sisters followed the guide they had made overnight to Hilo Hattie.
Hilo Hattie was a retail store that had once been selected by the Summer Island Tourism Bureau as the “Best Retailer of 1998”. The most famous Aloha shirts, Summer beans, coffee, and various handicrafts on Summer Island could be bought here. This was also the largest local retail store on Summer Island.
Of course, this was where they wanted to buy local specialties. This was also a place that his sisters were very interested in. They wanted to see what the local specialties on Summer Island were and broaden their horizons.
After a while, they arrived at Hilo Hattie, the local specialty retailer on Summer Island. The sisters walked into the shop and asked the boss. Then, under the boss’s lead, they bought many local specialties here.
The price was not very expensive, but the things were not bad.
Then, they went to the Alamona Shopping Center to look around. He shopped and bought some things that were rare in China. There was food, drinks, and various accessories.
Then, they went to Duke’s Road to shop and play. Duke’s Road was filled with shops of all sizes. It was quite fun to shop and play here.
When they were almost done shopping, the sisters prepared to return to the hotel. It was indeed quite tiring to walk around and carry things.
However, just as they walked out of a shop, they suddenly saw a small stall by the road opposite. Although it was called a stall, the items were not all placed on the ground.
It was a small cart with all kinds of accessories and other small items hanging on it. There was also a street stall set up on the ground, and there were many novel things on it.
The boss was an old woman. Her face was filled with wrinkles and she looked to be about 60 years old. Her limbs were still quite agile.
The sisters’ eyes lit up when they saw this stall. This was because they had never seen such a stall before. It had always been a shop or something like that. When they suddenly saw a stall that sold these novel things, they were naturally very interested.
Hence, she pulled their little brother, Ye Xuan, over to the stall and looked at the novel items.
When the boss, the old lady, saw that someone was visiting, she immediately smiled happily and introduced the items to the sisters.
“These are all famous specialties of Summer Island. Foreigners like you definitely don’t know that these are all good things. If you buy some and play with them as a souvenir, you’ll be very happy!”
The old woman looked at the sisters’ foreign faces and raised her tone. She sounded a little happy.
After all, tourist attractions loved it when foreigners or tourists came to buy things. They were generous and were interested in things that the locals were not interested in. It was a good way to earn money.
His sisters were also very happy with the old woman’s enthusiasm. They smiled back and picked up the small items, rubbing them carefully in their hands.
These things seemed to have the feeling of this place. Moreover, the small ornaments made of sh.e.l.ls smelled like the sea. They looked like they were newly made and were very good.
Although some jade stones were not valuable jade stones, they still looked very beautiful after being carved.
Although they felt that these small items were quite cheap, their sisters still felt that it was very fun. These things were not common in the country. Now that they suddenly saw them, it was quite novel.
Fifth Sister Ye Fei saw a rock and felt a little curious, so she picked it up and placed it in her hand. She felt the cold temperature and looked at it carefully.
This stone was crystal clear and looked like jade. However, it didn’t have the purity of jade. It was a very good pebble. Its shape was a little like a pendant. It was very sharp, but it wasn’t very long. It was about the length of Fifth Sister Ye Fei’s index finger.
There were also many strange things hanging on it. They were all very small and decorated this crystal clear stone, making it look like the sacrificial items of Western sorcerers.
As for girls, most of them liked foreign things like astrology, sorcerers, and so on. Fifth Sister Ye Fei was also a little interested. After all, this rock looked beautiful and had that aura.
Therefore, just as she was about to test the weight of this stone and ask the old woman how much it cost, her hand slipped, causing this crystal-clear pebble to fall to the ground and shatter into two.
