The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 23 Salmon

After discussing the matter of Xiaobao's name, Mu Jinxi thought about what she saw today, so she asked, "Father, mother, when I went to the river in the village today, I seemed to see a lot of fish in it. How did our family never Haven’t eaten it? It seems that no one in the village has caught it, why is that?”

Papa Mu put the wild pork in his mouth and ate it with great relish, and took the time to answer his daughter's words: "This, everyone dare not eat it, that fish is so strange."

Mu Jinxi pretended to be surprised and puzzled and asked, "Strange? Isn't the fish all the same? What's so strange? What I saw today is the same as the fish we ate before?"

Mu Niangzi swallowed the meat in her mouth and then said: "You child, have you forgotten? When you were young, there was a famine. Your father gritted his teeth and caught a fish. He originally wanted to feed you, but You were so frightened that you refused to eat it, and some people in the village got sick after eating it, so no one dared to eat it in the future. That fish is evil!"

Mu Jinxi frowned, searched in her mind, but still didn't have any memory, maybe she forgot it for too long.

"Hmm... Mom and Dad, I forgot about that. Why didn't my elder brother and I refuse to eat those fish at that time?"

Father Mu and Lady Mu didn't think too much about why their daughter suddenly asked about this matter, seeing that she seemed really curious, Lady Mu said, "Oh, that fish, I don't know why the flesh of the fish is red! It's scary, the fish we eat are always white, but the fish in the river are red, it's too scary, no wonder they eat bad people!"

Mu Jinxi tightened her hand holding the chopsticks, and her eyes lit up. Is the red fish really as she thought?

When Mu Jinxi thought of this, she became excited, and she wished she could run to the river to catch a fish and cut it open to see what happened!

Salmon!If it's really salmon, it's golden—no, silvery silver!

Seeing her younger sister's strange expression, Mu Jinhua suddenly felt something was wrong. Could it be that Xiaoxi is a ghost?
As soon as she thought about it, Mu Jinhua kept booing in her heart a few times, she remained silent, her mind was in a state of confusion, how could there be so many strange things in the world.Xiaoxi was just thinking about it because of a serious illness.

That's right, that's it, she is still my sister!Mu Jinhua lowered her eyes hypnotically and slammed the food into her mouth, not looking at her sister's weird expression, for fear that she could not restrain herself from thinking too much that she shouldn't.

Xiaobao concentrates on eating by himself. Although he is young, he has already tried to eat by himself. Grandma will only feed him in special circumstances.

Mother even praised him!

Xiaobao felt that he had to eat and dress himself no matter how hard he worked because of his mother's praise!

"Xiao, Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you? Is there any problem?" Mu Niangzi asked cautiously, and felt that her daughter's expression was very strange at the moment, as if someone who had been hungry for a long time finally found food.

Old Mu also looked at her strangely.

Mu Jinxi poked the rice in the rice bowl with the chopsticks in her hand, and said with a smile, "It's okay, I'm just so happy to be able to eat meat today."

When she said this, the Mu couple immediately felt that what she said was right, and then they felt guilty again. They felt that it was useless for them to be parents. It took so long to let their children and grandchildren eat meat, but there was nothing they could do. Ah, who made them all incompetent people?

After Mu Jinxi got the information she wanted, she concentrated on eating. While eating, she was thinking about when she would go to the river to catch a fish and cut it open. Then she would know whether the fish was salmon or not!
