The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 146 Hugging Master Xiao's Thigh (7)
"Can carambola eat dead people?" Mo Qingcang asked a little strangely, "If that's the case, why do you buy it in restaurants? Aren't you afraid of accidents?"

Mu Jinxi didn't take this question seriously, and said lightly: "Even food has its own contraindications. Most people can eat carambola, but people with poor kidneys and people with diabetes are not suitable to eat it, especially if the kidneys are not good. People who eat it will easily die. The deceased had a bad kidney, so he ate stewed carambola with egg milk and lost his life.”

Carambola contains a kind of neurotoxin. Generally, healthy people can excrete this toxin through metabolism after eating it. However, people with poor kidneys lack this metabolic function. After eating star fruit, the toxin cannot be excreted from the body. Adverse reactions, even death.

"There is such a thing, it's really an eye-opener." Mo Qingcang sighed softly, and then asked: "How do you know? And this carambola, and crystal bayberry, we have never heard of it before, you... How do you know?"

Obviously Xiao Xiao was also very curious about this question, after hearing Mo Qingcang's question, he looked at Mu Jinxi with burning eyes, as if waiting for her answer, even Jue Lin glanced at her.

Mu Jinxi said calmly: "It's a coincidence. Last winter, I went up the mountain alone. I didn't know why I took the wrong path. The more I walked, the more unfamiliar I was. Finally, I was on that hillside. I saw the fruit forest on the road. I walked over and took a closer look, and found that these two kinds of fruit trees were very similar to the two kinds of fruit trees described in an isolated book I read before. I was not sure that I was right until the fruit trees bloomed this year. , that’s why the following happened.”

Mu Jinxi's words are very logical, and it doesn't sound abrupt, suspicious, and the process is reasonable.So Mo Qingcang and Xiao Xiao just thought that she was lucky, no one found it on the mountain, but she found it.

But Jue Lin took a deep look at Mu Jinxi. Mu Jinxi sensed his gaze, and instead of shrinking or flickering, she looked back indifferently. Seeing her like this, Jue Lin's eyes became darker.

But Mu Jinxi looked away first.It's not so easy to find out about my aunt and grandma!
When thinking this way, Mu Jinxi's beautiful almond eyes revealed clues, a little proud and mischievous.Jue Lin was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raised his lips, but looked away.

It's just that only he knows what he thinks in his heart.

When the group returned to Peach Blossom Restaurant, shopkeeper Zhang was spinning around in a hurry, spinning like a spinning top, with anxious expressions on his face.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, we are back, Xiaobao has been found, you send someone to notify the others to come back!" Mu Jinxi said to Shopkeeper Zhang as soon as she entered the door.

"Oh, Xiaobao found it? Don't worry now, where is the little guy?" Shopkeeper Zhang asked happily after his worried expression eased.

Then shopkeeper Zhang's eyes shifted, he froze instantly, his eyes widened, he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief, and called suspiciously: "Master Xiao?"

This is Lord Xiao?No way?Is it someone who looks very similar to Master Xiao?How could Lord Xiao hold a child in his arms?

"Hmm, shopkeeper Zhang, are you dizzy? You can't even recognize me?" Xiao Xiao snorted proudly.

"Oh, Master Xiao, why are you here? Why didn't you send anyone to notify me, so I can pick you up!"

"I came to Peach Blossom Town this time to deal with private matters, so I didn't disturb you. We happened to meet Xiaobao on the street just now, and when we were about to send him back, we saw Xiaoxi. That's why I came here to sit and take a look around. Who dares to bully Peach Blossom Restaurant!"
