She Only Cares About Cultivation Chapter 208: [207] Tasty and Pretty Fisherman 58 (First Upda

Feeding Grandma was not easy, so Xiao Yu waited for at least half an hour before Yaya ca out of the house with a smile in her eyes and said,

"Sister, Grandma actually ate a bowl of porridge! She used to have no appetite, but today’s millet porridge slled exceptionally fragrant, and she finished it all."

"That’s great, as long as Grandma is willing to eat, her health will improve quickly. Go ahead and drink the remaining bowl."

Yaya hesitated, "I won’t drink it, let’s scoop out the porridge and save it for Grandma to drink tonight. I’ll just have the kelp soup with you."

It was heart-wrenching to see such a young girl be so sensible. Since she was insistent, Xiao Yu let her scrape the millet porridge into a bowl, then carry it to the hall and cover it with a basket to keep insects out.

"Is there soone in this village who makes tofu?"

Just eating kelp wouldn’t be enough; they needed side dishes to make it good.

"Yes, yes, Sister, do you want to buy tofu? It’s four cents per pound!"

"I haven’t asked yet, how much is pork per pound?"

"Pork is twelve cents per pound; that’s really expensive. Seafood here is cheaper, fish, shrimp, and crab are all cheaper than pork. What would you like to eat, Sister? I’ll go buy it for you."

"Then get a pound of tofu. We’ll make kelp and tofu soup, and eat it with these stead buns; Is that okay?"

"Sure, Sister, whatever you say, I’ll eat anything."

Then Xiao Yu gave Yaya four copper coins to buy the tofu and stood in the yard, looking at her sowhat dilapidated ho with a tinge of sadness.

Since the tofu seller was in the village, Yaya returned soon, with exactly one pound of tofu that was rich in soy aroma, obviously pure tofu without any additives.

"Do we have any bean sprouts at ho?"

Yaya shook her head, "We don’t have bean sprouts, Sister. Do you want to eat them? I can borrow so."

Because the soil was well-suited for it, everyone grew beans, and bean sprouts had beco a staple natural vegetable on everyone’s dining table.

"No need to borrow, let’s leave it at that. Is that soy paste in the jar?"

Yaya nodded, "It’s soy paste, soy sauce, and chili sauce."

"Can you handle spicy foods?" Yaya continued, "Chili is actually an indispensable part of our daily lives. Everyone can eat spicy foods, including Grandma when she wasn’t sick because eating chili helps to dispel the dampness from the seaside."

"You sure know a lot, little girl. It seems like the lifestyle here in your fishing village is quite similar to that at my ho,"

"Where is your ho, Sister? I still don’t know your na!"

"Well, my na is Shen Xiaoyu; you can just call Xiaoyu. I must admit, Sister has not set foot on land for four years. Do you know Hai Ping Village?"

Hai Ping Village? Yaya frowned, the na seed familiar, but she couldn’t rember where it was.

"Four years ago, around this season, there was a plague. Our village was slaughtered by the County Magistrate. If I rember correctly, our Hai Ping Village was the first village to be slaughtered. That night, I escaped and ended up living on a small island for four years. Recently, I was brought back by a passing fishing boat. Only upon returning did I realize that everything had changed beyond recognition."

As Xiaoyu said this, Yaya instantly rembered, "Sister, I rember now; your village was indeed the first nearby to be slaughtered, and everyone has a deep impression of it. My Grandma often ntions how ruthless the officials were. That plague really killed a lot of people, but I had no idea that you managed to survive on an isolated island for four years. That’s incredible!"
