Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 39 Strange Sweet Water

"What's the difference in taste? You damn girl, you're still not thirsty!"

Qiaozhi, Shi Changsheng's daughter-in-law and Yufeng's mother, laughed and scolded her daughter.

This daughter has a good appetite and loves to eat. She eats everything delicious, even a radish is delicious.

In this era when everyone is thin, Yufeng is still chubby and strong, and rarely gets sick.

It's just that she loves to eat so much that Qiaozhi is a little worried.

"I put some salt in it, is it a little salty?"

Zhang Guilan smiled.

It’s hot in summer, and it’s easy to sweat a lot when doing farm work. In order to prevent people from dehydrating, fastidious people will add some salt to the water.

Salt is not cheap for people in this era. They have to buy eggs in exchange for it, and some people are reluctant to let it go!
Zhang Guilan can put salt in the water for everyone to eat, which is also the standard of hospitality.

"It's not salty!"

Yufeng said loudly.

"Gui Lan, don't listen to that stinky girl's nonsense. She is a good eater. What comes out of her mouth is different from others. She doesn't eat anything except shit!"

Qiaozhi is a joker who talks carelessly and has no scruples at all when she complains about her daughter.

"Hey! Sister Guilan, why is this water so sweet!"

Shi Daniu worked for a while and was already thirsty. He grabbed a bowl and scooped out a large bowl of it and drank it.

After just a few sips, he stopped and shouted strangely.

"It's just well water. What's sweet about it? It's not like you've never drank the well water from my home. It's not much different from the one at your home!"

Zhang Guilan didn't take it seriously, thinking that Shi Daniu was just complimenting him politely.

"Really, Sister Guilan, did you add sugar? It's really sweet!"

Shi Daniu's expression was very solemn, and it didn't look like he was lying politely.

"I didn't put sugar! I just put some salt. Has my water become sweeter? Let me have a taste!"

Yufeng said that because the child was too young and his expression was wrong.

Shi Daniu is a somewhat mature young man. He said the water is sweet and his expression was so serious. It was obvious that he was not joking.

"Ouch! Why did this water suddenly become so sweet?"

Zhang Guilan scooped up a bowl, took a sip, and screamed in surprise.

"what happened?"

Over there, Jiang Defu was listening to Shi Laiwang's lecture on building a house.

Shi Laiwang suggested that when they build a house, it is best to build it with "four sides clear", that is, the inside of the wall is made of adobe, and the outside is surrounded by a layer of small stone bricks from top to bottom.

This is not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but also strong and not easily washed away and eroded by rain.

Jiang Defu felt that Shi Laiwang did have experience and had considered it more comprehensively, but now because of the system, he had new ideas.

Regarding the problem of rainproofing, there are chemical raw materials in the system that can be solved. At present, the most important thing is to put up the frame. Of course, the experience of the elderly must be referenced.

While he was discussing with Shi Laiwang, he heard a surprised cry over there. He thought something was wrong and walked over quickly.

"Third brother, I don't know why the water I drew from the well suddenly became very sweet. I haven't eaten the water from the well for dinner today. I don't know what's going on?"

Seeing Jiang Defu, Zhang Guilan said as if he saw a savior.

Jiang Defu has now become the leader of the family. Zhang Guilan and the others will now seek his advice no matter what happens.

When encountering such a thing today, Zhang Guilan consciously asked Jiang Defu for help.

"The water has become sweeter? Let me taste it!"

Jiang Defu's intuition was a little weird. He also drank well water before eating, and it didn't taste sweet. It tasted normal.

Why does it suddenly become sweet?I scooped some out of the bucket, put it to my mouth and took a sip. Sure enough, a sweet taste came over me. It was indeed several degrees sweeter than the original fresh water, just like cold water with sugar added.

"Did you put anything in?"

Jiang Defu said doubtfully.

"I...I only put some salt in it! Didn't you say before that if you sweat a lot while working, it would be better to drink some salt water, so I just thought about putting some salt in it. Who knew it would turn into sweet water without the salty taste!"

Zhang Guilan hesitated and said.

Jiang Defu told everyone to drink more water and salt when sweating.

I used to sweat a lot when I was working, and I felt a little uncomfortable and weak. I didn't know what was going on.

After Jiang Defu came back, they were doing farm work. If they sweated a lot, they were asked to drink some salt water to relieve their thirst, and then drink water to quench their thirst or add a small amount of salt water to the water.

"Where do you put the salt?"

Jiang Defu asked.

I bought some salt earlier, put some in the kitchen salt shaker, and stored the rest.

The reason for this is because Jiang Defu redeemed some points from the system.

Now that he has more points, the system has also been upgraded, and he can exchange the points for the amount he needs.

However, compared with the previous one-ton volume of 1000 points, now it is purchased at the wholesale price of 100 kilograms. The price remains unchanged, and the volume can be appropriately reduced.

Fortunately, after buying it, you can store it in the system and access it at any time, otherwise the target would be too big.

Jiang Defu previously bought some salt from the supply and marketing cooperative. Although it was the same type of salt as the salt in the system, the salt refining and processing technology in this era was limited, so the salt in the system was more delicious.

Recently, the salt in the salt shaker in the kitchen was taken from the system and put in it.

"It's the salt shaker in the kitchen! But today I use the salt in the small shaker..."

Zhang Guilan thought for a moment and said.

"Guilan, this water is just like sugar water. It tastes really good. You must have put the sugar at home in it! Hahaha, we are taking advantage today!"

Shi Laiwang also drank half a bowl of water and said happily.

According to his opinion, the Jiang family children were all real people, and he probably accidentally put the family's sugar in the water when he was thinking of doing their work.

Sugar is a precious thing these days, and most people are reluctant to buy it.

When Jiang Decai and Zhang Guilan were in charge, they were naturally reluctant to buy. Jiang Defu was capable and had money, so he was willing to spend money.

Regardless of whether it was done intentionally or not, everyone drank the sweet sugar water today.

good!good!
Everyone laughed after hearing Shi Laiwang's words.

They all thought that Zhang Guilan, who originally spoke in dialect, accidentally put the candy at home, and they took advantage.

The two buckets of water were quickly consumed.

Especially the three children in Shi Changsheng's family drank bowl after bowl one by one, and their bellies were all round.

Qiaozhi was worried that something might happen to her children if they drank too much, so she snatched the bowl away and stopped them from drinking.

Yufeng was older and her mother wouldn't let her drink, so she felt aggrieved and burst into tears.

The two younger brothers Hutou and Goudan burst into tears.

"Stop crying! Stop crying! There are still two bowls of sweet water in the bucket. Let your mother bring it back to you later. No one will drink it. It is reserved for you!"

Zhang Guilan hurriedly coaxed the two little guys.

Qiaozhi slapped her two sons on the buttocks with some embarrassment, making everyone laugh.

Jiang Defu also laughed.

But he was still a little confused. Why did the water in the well suddenly become sweeter?
What exactly is going on?
