Chapter 217: [216] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 67 (Tenth Update)

Xiao Yu spoke to this point, her eyes cold and clear as she looked at each face that began to waver or express doubt, and continued.

"My words end here. Whether you believe or not is up to you. In any case, this vegetable is truly good and not cursed as you all have believed."

Having said this, Xiao Yu turned around, ready to pick up the wooden bucket on the ground, when Village Chief Zhang saw her move and immediately stepped forward to stop her.

"Yaya sister, how do you know all this?"

Xiao Yu, hearing this, turned around and saw everyone gazing at her skeptically. She couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

"You all know I’m not from here; naturally, my knowledge isn’t limited to this small Huagang Village."

"Besides, there are plenty of places where people eat seaweed, and I haven’t seen anyone get poisoned by it, right?"

"As for the talk of it being used in medicine, if you don’t believe it, you can go to the town and ask the old doctor. Then you’ll know whether these things are poisonous or not."

After saying this, Xiao Yu looked around and asked, "Now, may I take these things home?"

Xiao Yu had been explaining for quite some time, and though everyone’s expression varied, signs of relaxation were apparent. However, the old rumors had already taken deep root, and there was still some hesitation.

Contrarily, the village chief, in his profound understanding, gave Xiao Yu a deep look and nodded at her.

"You may take it home first, but,"

"Village Chief, rest assured, I won’t involve others in this until you’ve received definite news."

Village Chief Zhang, hearing her words, gave Xiao Yu a surprised glance and then looked toward Yaya.

"Yaya, when you get home, remember not to let Grandma eat it, okay?"

Xiao Yu’s expression was somewhat helpless, and Yaya looked up at the village chief and said, "Village Chief Uncle, please rest assured, my sister knows what she’s doing."

Xiao Yu had spoken clearly and earnestly, not appearing to be joking or taking things too seriously. The village chief hesitated for a moment and then turned to look at a few of the older villagers.

"If this Purple Star Grass truly isn’t poisonous and is beneficial for the body, then Yaya sister would have done a good deed. I hope you won’t be too hard on her; after all, she isn’t doing this just for herself. What do you all say?"

The villagers, simple and kind-hearted fishermen, were not usually involved in much trouble. It was only because lives were at stake that they were this anxious. Now, with the village chief’s words, the others weren’t unreasonable and collectively nodded in agreement, though some were still curious to ask Xiao Yu.

"Girl, you’ve praised this seaweed so highly, could it be that you’ve eaten it?"

"Of course I have, and it’s quite tasty. Once Village Chief has made inquiries and everyone feels at ease, I will teach you all how to eat it."

"Great, great, remember, you said it."

"Naturally."

With that, the matter was basically concluded, and the village chief waved his hand, dispersing everyone.

Back home, Yaya looked at the seaweed covering the floor and asked Xiao Yu.

"Sister, how should we deal with these?"

Xiao Yu found a large wooden basin and placed all the seaweed in it.

"Yaya, go check on Grandma. I’ll handle these. They need to be washed clean and then dried before they can be eaten."

"We can eat them just like that?" Yaya picked up some seaweed to examine it, still somewhat incredulous.

"Mhm, you can make soup or wrap it with vegetables and rice to eat. Don’t worry, Yaya; I’ll cook some for you later."

Finally, she couldn’t resist adding, "Yaya, would you dare to eat it?"
