"Sea cucumber."
The little one spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Song Chenghou looked around warily.
Seeing that the fisherwomen were returning home one after another and that no one had heard anything, he felt a little relieved.
He squatted down next to Wen Shishi and asked, "Shishi, you just said this thing is called a haishen?"
Wen Shishi nodded, her gaze fixed firmly on the item in her tenth brother's hand.
Song Chenghou asked again, "Did you read it in a book?"
Wen Shishi licked her lips. "Yes, I've eaten it before."
She didn't like to eat it, and her grandfather coaxed her for a long time, saying it was good for her health.
The other brothers all crowded around, "Shishi, this thing isn't a bug? It's edible?"
Wen Shishi nodded seriously, recalled the contents of the encyclopedia, and then said:
"There are many kinds of sea cucumbers. They have delicious flesh and nourishing medicinal properties."
Upon hearing the last sentence, Lao Liu, Song Chengfeng, squeezed to the front row.
If dietary supplements are effective, it will save patients from taking countless tonic soups and medicines.
Most importantly, he glanced in his older brother's direction.
Wen Shishi continued, “Sea cucumbers usually inhabit the bottom of reefs or mud, and their backs are covered with fleshy spines of varying sizes.”
Although it lives in the sea, it is gentle and nourishing, and its feet resemble ginseng, hence the name "sea cucumber."
The Song brothers looked at the sea cucumber with disbelief, "This thing can actually be eaten?"
It can also provide gentle nourishment?
Old Ninth Brother Song Chengyuan was more concerned, "Shishi, what kind of sea cucumber is this? Is it delicious?"
Wen Shishi thought for a moment and answered truthfully, "It's not bad."
The sixth son, Song Chengfeng, was more concerned about another issue.
"Shishi, tell Sixth Brother, how did you used to eat it?"
How can we maximize the therapeutic effects of gentle tonification?
Wen Shishi recalled, "When I ate it, Grandpa had someone make soup..."
Hearing the title "Grandpa" again, knowing that he has allowed Shishi to read so many books, see so many things, and even nourish her body with food...
Although they had never met the "grandfather" mentioned by Wen Shishi, the Song family felt both close to him and full of respect for him.
They exchanged glances, not wanting to upset Shishi, and tacitly avoided mentioning the question about "Grandpa".
Referring to the knowledge in the book, Wen Shishi added, "The sea cucumbers we eat are all dried and preserved. Fresh sea cucumbers are not easy to preserve."
If the sea cucumber is dried, it needs to be soaked in advance, day and night to soften it and clean its internal organs.
The fresh sea cucumber in Tenth Brother's hand...
Brothers, come closer and listen carefully.
They can be dried and preserved, giving them another food source.
It's the kind that can still nourish the body.
"Cleansing the internal organs means cutting open the belly, pushing out the internal organs, and cleaning them thoroughly."
Sea cucumber has a mild flavor; its deliciousness can only be brought out through stewing in soup or other seasonings.
After Wen Shishi finished speaking, Sixth Brother Song Chengfeng asked, "Shishi, since sea cucumber has nourishing effects, can the elderly, pregnant women, and young children eat it?"
"The book says it's best for the elderly, as it's very effective at lowering blood pressure. Pregnant women can also eat it..."
Promotes infant development, as for children...
It is best used by older children as it can promote their growth and development.
The Song family had gotten used to Wen Shishi frequently using unfamiliar words.
You don't need to scrutinize every single word, but you can understand the general meaning based on the context.
For example, regarding "blood pressure," although Wen Shishi recited the explanation from the book, Song Chengfeng still found it difficult to understand due to differences in medical systems...
However, they generally correspond to the symptoms associated with high and low blood pressure.
The Song family understood that the word "小朋友" (xiǎopéngyou) meant "child," but it sounded even cuter.
After Sixth Brother finished asking his question, Eighth Brother, who had the best business sense, also asked a question.
"Shishi, like you said, sea cucumbers are so nutritious, aren't they very valuable?"
"Can it be sold for a very high price?"
Wen Shishi nodded. It was indeed very expensive, so not every family ate there often.
Song Chengxi's eyes lit up. "They're all priced the same?"
Wen Shishi: "Different sizes and degrees of damage result in different prices. The better the condition, the more expensive it will be."
Song Chengxi was overjoyed, knowing its medicinal properties and how it could be easily preserved by drying it...
It's incredibly profitable; you live off the sea, all you have to do is fish.
Unbeknownst to Wen Shishi and her brothers, Wen Shishi exuded a calm and confident aura while explaining the knowledge in the book...
He was beyond his years, like a little prodigy.
Song Chenghou listened attentively, constantly paying attention to the surrounding noises.
I feel both proud and worried.
