Chapter 235: Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 85 (Update 28)

Although she had discussed other matters with Zhang Quan, she hadn’t forgotten that her primary purpose today was to sell seaweed, so she pulled her bamboo basket up to him.

"This here, it’s called seaweed. I forgot to make some for you to try while we were cooking. The day is getting late, so how about this: I’ll make you another soup. If you find the soup delicious, then give me a price for the main ingredient today. That way, I can report back, right?"

Zhang Quan looked at the contents of her bamboo basket, "You’re saying this is a type of vegetable?"

"Yes, it’s called seaweed. This ingredient is usually used to make nori egg drop soup. It’s made very quickly and is very delicious. Are you interested?"

"You’ve already brought it over, and now you’re asking if I’m interested? Come on, come on, I came here today ready to eat to my heart’s content,"

Nori egg drop soup is very easy to make, but it absolutely requires two things. Without them, even if you have eggs and seaweed, the taste will be merely passable.

As expected, their kitchen lacked what she needed. They did have flour, so they reluctantly used it as a substitute.

After the nori egg drop soup was made, the kitchen staff eagerly came over to try it. After tasting, they all relaxed their brows.

"This is really good, refreshing and flavorful, perfect for cutting through greasiness. What kind of soup is this?"

"Shopkeeper, have you ever heard of Purple Star Grass?"

Once Xiao Yu mentioned this, everyone’s faces changed. They had all grown up here; how could they not know the legend of the Purple Star Grass?

Before they could change expressions and vomit, she repeated that Purple Star Grass was the same as seaweed and was non-toxic.

"I’m from out of town, you have to trust me, this stuff really isn’t poisonous. Look, we’ve all had the soup. If anything happens to you later, I can’t escape, right?"

Zhang Quan didn’t expect the girl to be so bold; to play such a trick on them, making decisions ahead and presenting them as a fait accompli was both infuriating and annoying.

Yet, this girl had her logic: "If I had told you beforehand it was Purple Star Grass, would you have drunk it? Now it’s good, the soup has been drunk, and you think it tastes fine. So now, let’s see if this stuff is really poisonous. Now’s a good chance, Uncle Zhang, let’s discuss the price you’ll offer for the seaweed!"

Zhang Quan twitched the corners of his mouth, "You really have the potential to be a crafty merchant!"

"Likewise," she replied.

In the study, Zhang Quan, unusually serious, looked at her, "This soup is good, but as for this raw material, I guess no one will dare to try it."

"If you tell people it’s Purple Star Grass, of course, they won’t eat it. Just say it’s seaweed and isn’t that problem solved?"

"You think those fishermen are fools? They deal with the ocean all year long; do you think they can’t recognize Purple Star Grass? Whatever seaweed, just don’t implicate my business; therefore, I won’t take this material."

"You have to take it, not only take it but also help me promote this seaweed. Saying Purple Star Grass is poisonous is absolutely nonsensical. Wasting such good stuff by not eating it, and instead throwing it away, is such a waste and prevents people from getting nutrients. This is also medicinal material, you know? I’m not sure if the doctors in town know about it, but I do. I’ll draw a picture later, pair it with what it can do, and you hang it in your shop. It will definitely serve a useful purpose."

Zhang Quan gave her a blank look, "You might be overestimating them; do you think these fishermen can all read? Let me tell you, most of them can’t."

"There’s always one who can read, right? As long as one person can read, that’s enough. They’ll read it to those who can’t, and from one to ten, ten to a hundred, won’t the reputation spread?"

The Shopkeeper didn’t quite understand, "You can make money on your own, but why tell others that this vegetable isn’t toxic? Doing that, won’t everyone come to me to buy seaweed?"

"Just let them buy; others don’t know how to make the nori egg drop soup deliciously, but you do. You won’t be at a loss, right? It might be hard initially, but later on, you’ll reap the profits seaweed brings you. So, give it a try?"
