Rebirth begins with the waste wood returning home

Chapter 41 Saccharin
"It's definitely something to do with the salt..."

"Third brother, you said that salt is sweet? But when I made cold dishes this morning, I used salty ones!"

Before Jiang Defu could finish speaking, Jiang Dehua spoke up.

"You are using the salt from the big salt shaker. The salt inside is indeed salt. I am talking about the salt from the small salt shaker. It is not salt, but sweetener..."

"Sweetener?"

Zhang Guilan said in surprise.

The other two people also looked at Jiang Defu in surprise. They had never heard of this thing.

"Sweetener is also called saccharin, which is something that can sweeten food."

"Can you sweeten food? Isn't that the same as sugar?"

"It has the same effect as sugar, but it is sweeter than sugar. Just a small drop in a bowl of water is enough! Sister Guilan, you didn't catch much today, did you?"

Jiang Defu looked at Zhang Guilan.

"Well, I thought you guys would help us and put some salt in it, but salt is so expensive, so I grabbed a little bit. I didn't expect that both big buckets of water would become so sweet."

Zhang Guilan said clearly.

"Third brother, do we have sweets to eat in the future? Let me see that thing!"

Jiang Dehua said and rushed into the kitchen, took out the small salt shaker from the kitchen, and then ran into the yard. Zhang Guilan and Jiang Decai also quickly surrounded him.

"Oh, this thing is so sweet and bitter, so sweet that it makes you feel bitter!"

Jiang Dehua took out a small pill, tasted it and said.

"Put it in the water bowl! Put it in the water bowl!"

Zhang Guilan said excitedly.

"Oh! It's really sweet!"

"Let me have a taste! Let me have a taste!"

"Second brother, you should try it too!"

"Third brother, this thing looks different from sugar. Why is it so sweet? Is this a big piece of candy?"

Jiang Dehua asked impatiently.

"This is not sugar, it is saccharin!"

“Is saccharin a type of sugar?”

Zhang Guilan asked.

Jiang Defu wanted to say no. Although these two things were both sweet and had the same word as "sugar", they were not related at all.

These three people simply couldn't understand this explanation or how saccharin came from.

"It's not the same thing, but they are all sweet things. But this saccharin has a very sweet taste. Just use a little bit. Don't use too much. It's not good to eat too much!"

Jiang Defu could only say.

"That's natural. This stuff is so precious. Who wants to waste it? It's so sweet that it's so sweet, but you have to use it sparingly. It can last a long time!"

"By the way, third brother, where did you get this thing?"

Jiang Dehua seemed to be the first to respond to this problem.

It seems that this silly girl sometimes has a good mind.

"Well, this was the last time I went to town. Didn't I go to the Zhengfu compound? Xiao Zeng gave it to me. He said it was good stuff from their place. It was sweet and could be soaked in water or cooked. Sweet steamed buns or something. I forgot about it and put it in the salt shaker as salt, but Sister Guilan made a joke..."

Jiang Defu smiled.

The three of them also laughed.

They knew that Jiang Defu knew the people in the Zhenzheng Mansion Courtyard. This younger brother was very unusual, so it was not surprising that he could get such a rare thing.

"Tomorrow I will send some to the second uncle and Shi Daniu's family so that they can have a try. Remember to tell them how to eat it, so don't waste it!"

Jiang Defu warned.

"Third brother, how much will you send?"

Jiang Dehua felt a little distressed.

"You guys watch and give it! At least grab a big handful, enough for them to eat for a while!" Based on the current situation, this thing is rare. When the weather is hot and the work is tiring, the two families will probably be willing to use it and put it on A few pills are enough for a family to drink, and it will last for several years!

"Isn't that a lot?"

Jiang Dehua muttered, somewhat reluctantly.

"We have a small family and can't eat much. Didn't your third brother tell you? It's not good to eat too much of this stuff. Send a handful over and wrap it up in oil paper. The two of them take good care of us."

Zhang Guilan comforted.

After dinner, Jiang Dehua and Zhang Guilan went to deliver saccharin and brought back some things when they came back.

Shi Daniu's family had tender wild vegetables steamed with mixed grains; the second eldest wife's family had fried pancakes mixed with white flour.

In the next few days, the adobe bricks were laid even faster.

In addition to the capable Jiang brothers, Shi Daniu and Changsheng often come to help, and the second uncle also comes to give advice from time to time.

Jiang Defu and Jiang Decai felt embarrassed at first. After all, they had their own work to do. If they came over to help after finishing their own work, they would always be troubling others.

But those two families were very active and worked even harder.

"Sanwazi, your saccharin is really good. Even my old man tasted the water after drinking it. Don't waste such valuable things in the future. Sell them in the town and get a lot of money!"

While working, Zhang Guilan always brought a lot of sweet cold water for everyone to drink.

Shi Laiwang felt it was a bit of a waste. This thing was usually used by relatives, friends or on important occasions. The Jiang family used it every day during this period. It was really a waste.

Jiang Defu gave some to their family. Unless the children were greedy and occasionally drank it, the adults in the family were reluctant to use it, thinking that they would use it when relatives came or to do something else.

"Second uncle, don't worry. I got a lot of these from my friends. They still have them. When they run out, I'll buy some more!"

Jiang Defu didn't like saccharine water. He never liked sweets, so he only drank some cold water. Seeing how much everyone liked it, he was embarrassed to say not to drink too much of it.

Thinking about it, they are only willing to drink these days, and they can't drink much.

"Is that expensive?"

Shi Laiwang hesitated for a moment and asked.

"I'm not sure. Anyway, my friend bought it somewhere else. It should be about the same price as candy!"

Jiang Defu thought about it and said.

There are still so many in my system, and I can still take them out if I need to use them at home in the future. In this case, it is better to pass this thing through the open road.

"Then...that's still a good deal. Those handfuls of candy are not as sweet as this one. When our family runs out and needs it, if you go to buy it again, bring some for us..."

Shi Laiwang said.

"That!"

Jiang Defu agreed directly.

Although the Shi family is pretty good to their own family, these things can be supplied to the entire village, not to mention just a few households.

It's just that in many things, it's better to make a deal than to win. You are willing to buy and I am willing to buy. I am good, you are good, everyone is good!
……

It took more than ten days of work to make the adobe bricks. The other tiles can be made after harvesting in autumn, and the next step is to dry them.

This time when building a house, Jiang Defu considered building two rooms in the front yard. There were originally two rooms, which should be enough for Jiang Decai to get married and start a family.

Build two rooms in the backyard and live in them yourself. Zhang Guilan and Jiang Dehua can live in the remaining houses, and each of them can live in one room.

In this way, everyone in the family has their own space, and it is much freer and more convenient for him.

Of course, he is also planning to renovate the old house at home.

There are still adobe bricks stored at home, and with the addition of new bricks, it is basically enough!

"Third brother, the whole village is busy weeding the fields now. What do you think is going on? There is no grass in our fields. I have nothing to do but dig up the sweet potato pulp first!"

During lunch, Jiang Dehua complained.

It seems that there is no grass in the ground and it is troublesome.

Bang bang bang!Bang bang bang!
"Brother Defu, are you at home?"

Suddenly there was a loud shout outside.
