Everyone turned their eyes to Han Qing, "What exactly is wrong? Tell me quickly!" Tang Xin urged Han Qing.
"They both say they love sweets, but when I give them sugar, they say it makes them sore, and when I give them honey, they say it's too greasy!" Han Qing was very confused, spreading his hands helplessly. "Two grown men liking sweets is strange in itself! And they insist on using one ingredient, which is even stranger!"
Everyone quickly asked: "What do they want?"
"Saccharin!" Han Qing said these two words, then looked at Su Nian, "Xiaoxiao, do you know this thing? I've only heard of MSG!"
Saccharin is a substitute for white sugar. It is cheaper than white sugar and is an artificial sweetener. It is widely used in the food processing industry and many people in rural areas like it.
"Of course I know, this isn't some real thing. It's extracted from tar!" Su Nian couldn't understand. "This thing tastes bitter. If you really like sweet things, then sugar and honey taste better!"
Han Qing was startled and quickly looked for a cup to rinse his mouth. "Something made from tar? I even drank a sip this morning!"
The Han family's chef found a way to find saccharin and cooked it for Chen Erbao and his son according to their request.
But the fat chef had to cook for everyone in the family, so when saccharin came into the kitchen, everyone was bound to get some on it.
Hearing Han Qing say this, Su Nian suddenly had an idea, "Brother, do you eat eggs every day?"
"Eat! If you don't eat some protein in the morning, you'll be hungry before noon." Han Qing rolled his eyes at Su Nian. "I can't be like you guys, eating snacks all day long!"
Tang Xin immediately exposed him: "You're lying! You always have chocolate in your pocket. It's the delicious imported kind!"
Han Qing reached out to pinch Tang Xin's face, but she dodged with a giggle.
Su Nian was a little anxious: "Oh no, none of you have ever come into contact with saccharin, so you don't know the taboos of this thing. It absolutely cannot be eaten with eggs!"
"What will happen if you eat it?" Han Qing became serious. It turned out that Chen Erbao had already taken action, but he still underestimated his enemy!
"You'll be poisoned if you eat it!" Su Nian said to Han Qing with certainty, "Hurry up and inform Grandpa to be careful not to mix these two things! Even if it's okay once or twice, if you accidentally eat it too many times, it can be fatal!"
Han Qing didn't dare to delay. He immediately took out his phone, called Grandpa Han, and explained the situation very clearly.
After hanging up the phone, Han Qing was visibly relieved. "Grandpa said he knew and would make arrangements, so we shouldn't worry! Xiaoxiao, I'm glad I told you about this today, otherwise we would have fallen into a trap!"
Just then, the meat was served. Su Nian invited everyone to grill the meat together while comforting Han Qing, "When you keep a poisonous snake around, you have to be vigilant. You are observing very carefully. At this rate, even if they want to do something, it will be difficult!"
Tang Xin and Chu Beichen were both still frightened. Among the people present, besides Su Nian, Tang Xin was the only one who had lived in the countryside and knew something about saccharin.
Tang Xin patted her chest gently. "That's horrible! Su Nian, now that you mention that, it reminds me of something from my childhood. Someone in our village died from eating eggs boiled in saccharin water! Thanks to you for remembering it. When Han Qing mentioned it just now, I didn't react at all!"
