Chapter 214: 【213】Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 64 (Seventh Update)

Yaya nodded. "Yes, this seaweed is pretty annoying—it often gets tangled in the fishing nets, and there’s so much that it’s impossible to get rid of it all. Why would sister even bother picking it up?"

O__O "...," she finally understood. Did the people here really not know that seaweed was edible?

They actually treated these incredibly precious things as the kind of seaweed that liked to cling to boat paddles?

Heavens, they were truly wasting heaven-sent resources!

Xiao Yu frowned as she placed the hard-won seaweed into the wooden barrel, then looked seriously at Yaya.

"This is not grass; this is a vegetable, an edible vegetable!"

"You’re saying this grass is a vegetable?"

Yaya stared at the seaweed in the barrel, her eyes wide and her mouth agape, obviously having never heard of such a claim from Xiao Yu.

These seaweeds felt slimy to the touch and clung to the reef rock walls. Without being gathered for a long time, they would be swept into the sea by the waves, and passing fishing boats would naturally become victims. For many years, no one thought that this kind of thing was edible.

After all, the sea offered too many different things.

She then looked at Xiao Yu with an odd expression. "Sister, this stuff is all slimy and gross-looking, how can you eat it?"

Xiao Yu looked back at her with a smile. "Like this, you help me catch some more, let’s try to fill this bucket, then we will go home, and I’ll show you how to eat it!"

There were countless ways to prepare seaweed. How could she explain it all in such a short time?

Yaya’s curiosity was also particularly strong. If this thing was edible, then she could pick it up from the boats by the sea in the future. It was everywhere, and things that people just threw away—why bother with dangerous picking on the rock walls?

In a little while, the two sisters had collected a bucketful, and there was still so much left that she estimated it would take four or five trips to gather it all.

Their trip this evening had not been in vain; the amount they collected was enough for them to eat for ten days or half a month without any problem.

But no one expected that when the two sisters brought the seaweed back to the village, the villagers’ faces changed color at the sight of the purple star grass in their bucket.

An old lady ran up excitedly, snatched the purple star grass from Xiao Yu’s hand, and kicked the seaweed far away, scattering it on the ground and dirtying it with sand.

Xiao Yu wrinkled her brow but then heard the old lady scolding Yaya harshly.

"You little girl, didn’t your grandma ever tell you this stuff is poisonous and not edible? What are you doing bringing it home, trying to kill your grandma?"

It seemed like Yaya suddenly remembered something and instinctively looked to Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu looked and looked again and realized that this was indeed just seaweed. How had it become the poisonous substance they spoke of?

"Yaya sister, right? Purple star grass is poisonous. There have been people who died from eating it, so you can’t eat it. Hurry and throw it away, and when you go home, wash your hands well, make sure you don’t get it on you."

As soon as one person finished speaking, another began to murmur.

"It’s true, the curse of the purple star grass isn’t new; in the past, someone stepped on it on the rock wall and slid right into the sea, hit their head on the rocks, and died on the spot."

"Plus, the purple star grass can wrap around a person’s legs, trapping them underwater until they suffocate. These are tales passed down from our ancestors. For many years, no one has touched these things. So why, as soon as you come to our village, do you bring this stuff home?"

"That’s right, Yaya, you’re one of us, don’t you know that this stuff always clings to the fishing nets, and every time we have to spend even more energy to clean it up?"

"And more than that, the purple star grass grows everywhere; it even makes it hard for us to look for other things, it’s time-consuming and laborious, no one likes this stuff, I really don’t understand why you would bring these things home."
