It was just homemade Kuding Tea by the villagers, deemed good only because the well water used to make it was mixed with water from the Spiritual Spring.
"If you find it tasty, drink more of it, and take some with you when you go back!"
"No need!" Yuan Liuwang shook his head.
Hesitating, he took out a red cloth package and handed it to Xie Zhinuan, "These earrings I bought for you this time, made of gold!"
"..." Xie Zhinuan smiled faintly but didn't reach out to take them.
"I've said before, I don't want anything, no matter what it is, no matter how precious, any gift from you, I will not accept. In business, let's keep to business. You helped me sell goods, the silver that is due to me, I will take with pride without hesitation. As for such gifts, keep them for your future wife!" Xie Zhinuan declined.
"What if it were a gift to a friend? Would you not accept it then?" Yuan Liuwang asked urgently.
