Chapter 52: Earthworm jelly? This bug is meant for eating?!

"Holy crap! This is toxic, right?!"

"Responding to the TV?! I’m laughing my head off!"

"Since when did Huluwa become a marriage-pressure song?! I can't keep up with the trends anymore..."

"The damage isn't high, but the insult is real! Ye Xuan’s family is incredible!"

"The gourds have had babies, the iron tree has bloomed, why don't you have a partner yet?! What a heartbreaking question..."

Countless bullet comments flashed across the screen; they were clearly having their worldviews refreshed by Ye Xuan’s eccentric parents.

This method of pressuring for marriage was definitely the king of the industry!

They were using every possible trick; it was impossible to defend against!

At this moment, the cameraman’s hands were shaking from laughter.

Yang Mi, across the table, covered her mouth, afraid that her laughter would be too obvious.

Ye Xuan, seeing his father still responding in all seriousness, felt a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

This was clearly learned from Mom, right?!

The energy of this couple was spent entirely on pressuring him to marry every single day.

Simply treating it as the old couple’s form of entertainment, Ye Xuan felt a bit amused and didn't pay much attention, instead urging them.

"Dad, hurry up and eat your meal, don't let the food get cold."

Ye Fu clearly knew when to stop; urged by Ye Xuan, he pretended to be reluctant as he turned off the TV and returned to the table.

"Eat, eat."

As he spoke, Ye Fu pushed several meat dishes toward Yang Mi’s side.

"Mi Mi, eat more meat, pick whatever you want."

Receiving the family’s kindness, the smile on Yang Mi’s face became even brighter.

"Alright, thank you, Uncle."

This meal was quite hospitable.

After finishing the meal, Yang Mi wanted to help wash the dishes, but was pushed out of the kitchen by Ye Fu.

"Mi Mi is a guest, you guys go out and play!"

As he spoke, Ye Fu deliberately emphasized the word "play" and winked at Ye Mu.

And Ye Mu immediately understood.

Ye Xuan had been single for so many years; now that a girl had finally come to the house, she had to create opportunities for her son!

It wasn't that she had already chosen Yang Mi as a daughter-in-law; Ye Mu was simply casting a wide net.

Who he would eventually choose depended on Ye Xuan’s opinion.

Glancing at the sky outside, which was still early, Ye Mu had a flash of inspiration.

"Mi Mi, you haven't walked around Qiong Village since you arrived, right? Shall we take you for a tour?"

Hearing Ye Mu’s suggestion, Yang Mi was also a bit tempted.

After all, since she came to record the program, she really didn't know much about Qiong Village.

But since she had already sponged a meal, if she went to sponge a tour as well...

Seeming to see Yang Mi’s hesitation, Ye Mu had already taken her hand and hurriedly dispelled her doubts.

"If you want to go, then go! Ye Xuan, hurry up and follow, help us out!"

At this moment, Ye Xuan, who had been suddenly named, also looked back at Ye Mu.

Meeting Ye Mu’s gaze, Ye Xuan clearly saw the aura of "you better not refuse or you'll regret it."

Under his mother’s demand, Ye Xuan could only nod in compliance.

After tidying up a bit, they all went out together.

Although Qiong Village was a small fishing village, the place was quite large.

Ye Mu led Yang Mi, plus the attendant Ye Xuan, and after several turns, they arrived at the famous Pan Palace Ancient Street at the entrance of the village.

Looking along the road, the ancient street was full of distinctive red-brick "Fanzai" buildings.

Looking around, the gray stone carvings and colorful paintings, the heavy brick-and-mortar gray sculptures, added a sense of vicissitudes and an antique atmosphere.

"Mi Mi, come quickly! Do you want to drink some Four-Fruit Soup..."

There were several vendors shouting along the street; Ye Mu was clearly familiar with everyone, and after greeting them in the local dialect, she excitedly called Yang Mi’s name.

Four-Fruit Soup?

Yang Mi’s gaze carried confusion; she didn't understand the dialect Ye Mu used afterward.

And Ye Mu, seeing that she hadn't explained it clearly, immediately ordered Ye Xuan to come over and explain.

Ye Xuan, the conscripted tool man, walked over slowly, took a look, and introduced it casually.

"Four-Fruit Soup is our local specialty snack, which is made of stone flower paste, lotus seeds, mung beans, and pearl barley.

Originally, there were only these four ingredients, so it was collectively called Four-Fruit Soup; later, more ingredients were added..."

Listening to Ye Xuan’s explanation, Yang Mi also showed a look of realization.

So it was one of the local snacks.

The cameraman behind them also followed closely, filming the Four-Fruit Soup in front of them.

"I’m a local, Four-Fruit Soup is our must-have summer drink!"

"Seems pretty delicious..."

"Yeah, it looks quite appetizing..."

Just as countless netizens were discussing the Four-Fruit Soup, the lens suddenly swept over a corner, and several bullet comments quickly popped up.

"Wocwocwoc! What did I just see?!"

"+1+1+1! What is that brownish thing?"

"Worms?! Earthworms?! Sand worms?!"

"Looks like an earthworm?!"

"Looks so disgusting!"

"Isn't that white thing a bug?! Putting it together with food is so unappetizing, I have goosebumps..."

At this moment, it wasn't just the netizens who noticed; Yang Mi’s gaze also turned to the small stall next to the Four-Fruit Soup.

Under the glass partition of the stall, there were crystal-clear, bowl-shaped jellies the size of a fist.

But looking closely, each bowl-shaped jelly contained at least three to four translucent white worms!

"Is this... a bug?!"

Yang Mi subconsciously shouted, her voice full of surprise.

What are these bugs used for?!

Why are they placed next to the Four-Fruit Soup?!

Ye Mu, on the side, also looked in the direction of her gaze.

Subconsciously thinking she was interested, Ye Mu immediately stepped forward and talked to the vendor in the local dialect.

Ye Xuan, who remained in place, explained, "This is called Earthworm Jelly; inside are sand worms from the mudflats, commonly known as black earthworms, and it’s also our local..."

Before the word "snack" could be spoken, he saw Ye Mu had already brought back a portion of Earthworm Jelly and said excitedly.

"Mi Mi, do you want to try it? These bugs are very nourishing..."

Try it?!

Wait!

Isn't this a bug?!

Can it even be eaten?!

Several questions hit one after another.

For a moment, Yang Mi’s expression management was rarely out of control.

At this moment, not only Yang Mi, but the netizens in the live stream were also deeply confused.

"Holy crap! Can this thing be eaten?"

"Didn't Ye Xuan say this is a bug?!"

"Very nourishing?! Why can't I understand what Ye Xuan’s mother said?!"

"This is simply dark cuisine!"

"Won't you want to wash your stomach after eating this thing?!"

Just as countless people were dumbfounded, they saw Ye Xuan casually pick up a "white bug" with a toothpick, then stuff it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and finally exclaimed with great satisfaction.

"Delicious!"

For a moment, countless netizens were shocked!

This bug can actually be eaten?!

And Ye Xuan said it was delicious?!

Is Ye Xuan crazy, or is this world magical?!
