"I know, I know!"
Third Brother Song Chengxin answered first.
Wen Shishi looked up, and the other brothers looked at him with admiration.
Even so, anyone with a discerning eye could guess the answer.
Song Chengxin revealed a smug expression, suppressing a laugh before speaking, "Shishi, is it because it has beautiful golden lines on its body that it's called the Golden Thread Fish?"
Wen Shishi nodded repeatedly, giving a thumbs up, "Wow! Third Brother is awesome!"
His mature-looking expression actually made his older brothers laugh.
The tenth brother, Song Chengxin, asked seemingly casually, "Um, Third Brother, and then?"
The third brother turned his head, "And then what?"
The eighth brother chimed in, "What the tenth brother means is, does this kind of fish have any other unique characteristics, such as its value, how to cook it well, etc..."
Song Chengxin scratched his head, quickly adding modestly, "This... let's have our teacher, Shishi, answer..."
Wen Shishi opened her eyes wide and nodded seriously.
His serious demeanor made him look just like a little teacher...
It's just that its size is a bit tiny and comical.
"Third Brother is absolutely right."
Wen Shishi gave her affirmation first.
"Oh my!"
The second brother, unusually, took the lead in cheering, "Our Shishi has even learned to praise people!"
"Exactly! So grand!"
The seventh brother gave a thumbs up.
"you do not say!"
Old Ten chuckled.
Wen Shishi was speechless. She rolled her eyes at the three of them—a very obvious eye roll—and prepared to continue her "lecture"...
He was interrupted by Lao Qi pointing at him, "Hey! Little brat, what were you doing just now?"
The tenth brother warned, "Seventh brother, she was just rolling her eyes at us!"
The second brother himself found it amusing, as if the longer he spent with Shishi, the more interesting the little one seemed...
Getting angry is interesting, being happy is interesting...
Playing the victim is interesting, turning the tables on them is interesting...
I never thought the word "spoiling" applied to me, but now I feel like I'm in danger...
Even the way this little guy rolls his eyes at me is amusing.
He thought that maybe next time, this little guy would step on his face, and he'd find that amusing too...
Raising kids is so dangerous! I love them no matter how I look at them.
But he wasn't like this when his younger brothers were little, was he?
It turns out he's a doting father to his daughter and sister.
Hearing what her seventh and tenth brothers said, Wen Shishi rolled her eyes again. She could tell the difference between her brothers' sarcastic remarks.
"Hey! Don't interrupt, you're delaying Shishi's lesson!"
Lao Ba waved them away, his attitude focused and attentive.
These golden threadfin bream are so beautiful; they've never seen anything like them before, even back in the Minister's residence...
The fishermen said it tasted sweet, and that it might be another way to make money.
When the eldest brother spoke, everyone quieted down and listened to Wen Shishi continue.
"They generally operate in a dispersed manner, and the clusters are not large."
They mainly eat marine life, small fish, and shrimp.
They can be fished year-round, with the highest numbers in spring and winter.
Their flesh is delicious and highly nutritious. They can be processed into frozen fish or made into fish balls.
Wen Shishi lowered her head, frowning as she looked at the fish in the wooden bucket, seemingly struggling with something.
The older brother then asked gently, "Shishi, what's wrong?"
Wen Shishi still frowned, "The golden threadfin bream are so beautiful, I want to see them every day..."
But I've only ever seen it in books, I've never tasted it...
The brothers chuckled; it turned out that's what caused this dilemma.
Fourth Brother chuckled easily, "That's easy! Shishi, aren't there two options?"
One is kept for Shishi to watch every day, and this other one...
Fourth Brother will make it for Shishi right now!
Does Shishi want stewed food or fish balls?
Speaking of fish balls, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi swallowed hard.
Wen Shishi saw it, looked up at her fourth brother and said, "I want to eat fish balls."
The ninth and tenth brothers' eyes lit up, and they gave Wen Shishi a thumbs up.
The fourth brother caught a golden threadfin bream and headed towards the kitchen.
We only realized the problem when we were leaving; it was such a small fish...
How many fish balls can you make?
They didn't have any starch on hand, so they used real fish meat, and they probably couldn't make three.
If other fish meat is mixed in, the original freshness of the golden threadfin bream will not be tasted.
Thinking of the expectant looks on the faces of the ninth and tenth brothers, the fourth brother started racking his brains.
Song Chengjian threw the extra small fish from the wooden bucket into the pond, leaving only the last golden threadfin bream...
This is so that Wen Shishi can watch it.
"Second brother, can we pour it into the pool?"
Wen Shishi asked earnestly, "It will be lonely if it's all alone in the bucket."
The way the little boy said this so earnestly instantly touched the hearts of his older brothers!
Aww!
Their sister is so kind!
Song Chengjian smiled slightly and released the golden threadfin bream into the pond.
The pond was crowded, and the golden threadfin bream were unable to move because they were squeezed by other small fish, oysters, clams, and other creatures.
After catching dozens of them and putting them into the wooden bucket, the pond was indeed much more spacious.
The little golden threadfin bream swam nimbly in the water, its golden tail shimmering in the sunlight.
Wen Shishi smiled innocently and looked up at her second brother with admiration.
