Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 40
"Ouch! Why do my hands smell bitter?"

After returning home to wash up, Zhang Guilan suddenly shouted in surprise beside the well.

"Ah! Ah!"

Jiang Decai quickly rushed over and picked up Zhang Guilan's hand to check, looking at Zhang Guilan with concern.

"No...it's nothing. It's just that when I washed my hands just now, I rubbed my face with my hands and it seemed like there was a bitter taste when I licked them!"

Zhang Guilan took back her hand in embarrassment and explained.

"Sister Guilan, did something happen to you today? The water you carried in the bucket turned into sweet sugar water, and your hands also have a bitter taste. What's going on? Do you want to go see Erxian?"

Jiang Dehua came over to see what was going on, and didn't even notice the awkward looks in Jiang Decai and Zhang Guilan's eyes.

"Go! Go! What nonsense!"

Jiang Decai used his hands to scold Jiang Dehua for speaking unluckily.

"Hmph! Second brother, I saw it when I came back this time. You are closer to Sister Guilan than me. She is like your own sister!"

Jiang Dehua said jealously.

Jiang Dehua was a little hard to understand at first that Zhang Guilan suddenly became the girl of the family, but when she knew that it was Erxian who pointed it out, she quickly accepted it.

In this era, people believe in this more than they believe in their own parents.

In fact, we cannot blame these people. In addition to their cultural and educational level, many times the natural forces of the outside world are so powerful that many things cannot be explained. There is also the weakness of people's own abilities, which makes many people have no choice but to believe it.

Zhang Guilan and Jiang Dehua have always had a good relationship. Jiang Dehua is very happy that Zhang Guilan has changed from her third sister-in-law to her elder sister.

However, she has also discovered a problem recently, that is, her second brother Jiang Degui seems to be too good to Zhang Guilan!

Yes, great!

Jiang Dehua felt that they were all better than her, she was really a bit tasty!
"Dehua, what did you say? My second brother is naturally very good to you, but I suddenly said that my hands were a little bitter, and the water here suddenly turned sweet. It was weird, and our family didn't buy any sugar. Also, your third brother went to the town earlier, and there seems to be no candy seller in the town, so the second brother is just worried about such a strange thing happening suddenly!"

Zhang Guilan hurriedly explained.

"Are you serious?"

Jiang Dehua is a straight person and can't think of so many things in her mind.

"Can I lie to you? If you don't believe me, lick my hand. I just licked it and it was painful!"

"Let me try it. If it is true, I will believe you!"

Jiang Dehua leaned over and licked Zhang Guilan's outstretched hand.

"Oh! Sister Guilan, why are you talking nonsense!"

Jiang Dehua shouted directly.

"I...what nonsense did I say?"

Zhang Guilan said with some confusion, and licked the inside of his palm.

"Oh my god, how did this become sweet? My hands are so magical!"

Zhang Guilan screamed out in surprise.

"It was bitter at first, but now it's sweet?"

Jiang Defu was changing clothes in the room when he heard the two people talking outside, especially Jiang Dehua, who always had a loud voice.

"Yes... I don't know what's going on? I just touched the salt in the kitchen. Who knew it didn't taste salty? Now it tastes bitter and sweet. I don't know what's going on?"

Zhang Guilan was very confused.

"It's okay. It may be because of the salt I bought earlier. Just wash it and you'll be fine!"

Jiang Defu felt that this matter was not simple, but he didn't want it to attract too much attention, so he could only appease them.Although the three people in the family were still a little surprised when Jiang Defu said it was nothing, the well-informed Jiang Defu said it was nothing, so they stopped worrying about the matter and started chatting and washing up.

Jiang Defu got up and went to the kitchen.

There were two salt shakers in the kitchen. Jiang Defu went directly to the small salt shaker. Zhang Guilan said he got the salt from here.

He reached into the jar and touched a small piece of granular salt, put it to his mouth and added some.

Grandma’s is actually bittersweet!
Where are these salt particles?
This is clearly...

Jiang Defu quickly opened the system and searched for the chemical raw materials he purchased.

He has purchased a lot of things recently: potassium fertilizer, nitrogen fertilizer, herbicides...

Um?When did you actually buy sweetener?

Although Jiang Defu is a science and engineering student, he honestly doesn't know much about food ingredients.

In his concept, the sweetener should be a chemical raw material, but what it looks like is really not clear yet.

Why does this sweetener look so familiar?
Jiang Defu quickly took out a small bowl, scooped out half a bowl of water from the jar, and then put a small white crystal from the salt shaker into the water.

After a while, the sweetener melted.

Jiang Defu took a sip of water from the bowl.

So sweet!So sweet!
Grandma, isn’t this saccharine?

It’s also called a sweetener, which makes it look very fashionable!
Jiang Defu actually didn't know much about saccharin. In the era he lived in, although high-end sugar was more expensive, ordinary sugar was still very cheap.

And sugar, like flour and grain, is a very common thing, and no one would eat saccharin.

The reason why he knew this was because his grandfather was quite frugal.

One time, his grandfather went back to his hometown and bought this kind of stuff in the countryside to make sweet steamed buns. After Jiang Defu saw it and tasted it, he learned about saccharin.

Grandpa said that in the 80s, saccharin was a rare product. People who were reluctant to buy sugar, especially those in rural areas, would put saccharin in water and drink it as sugar water.

Also added when popcorn pops.

Jiang Defu's unknown father in his previous life also said that when he was a child, he would fill a bottle of cold water with a small grain of saccharin in it when he went to school in the summer, and the water would be very sweet. It was the favorite drink of children at that time.

Jiang Defu is not too fond of sweet things. In his previous life, people ate too much and became fat. In order to lose weight, many people banned sweet things, thinking that they are not good for the body.

In fact, there is a certain amount of consumption of anything. Exceeding a certain amount will be counterproductive.

Sugar is a rare thing in this era. Since I bought this thing, there is no problem in eating some.

"Third brother, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

Jiang Dehua saw Jiang Defu in the kitchen and hadn't come out for a while, so she shouted outside.

"Well, I just went to the kitchen to take a look and found out why the water Sister Guilan fetched turned into sweet water today!"

Jiang Defu came out and said.

Now that you have bought this MSG, use it instead and don’t waste it.

And I also got a jar. This stuff has a very strong sweetness even with a little bit of it. Naturally, I have to give it to them. Of course, I have to explain the origin of this stuff.

"What's the reason? Third brother, didn't you say nothing happened before?"

Jiang Dehua asked with some confusion.

"Third brother, is it a problem with the salt?"

Zhang Guilan was very smart. Earlier, Jiang Defu asked her about salt, and also asked her which jar to put the salt in. After groping in the kitchen for so long, the connection suddenly came together.
