You don't want to eat, right? I want you to eat it.
When his brother wasn't paying attention, Han Du picked up a chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth.
Han Shu's eyes were horrified and he wanted to vomit when he came to his senses.
Well!
Well?
Well!
He had just spit out half of the kelp in his mouth, and suddenly his tongue rolled back. A delicious taste that he had never tasted before filled Han Shu's mouth. Chewing the kelp in his mouth and swallowing it, Han Shu's eyes lit up.
This time, Han Du didn't need to pinch it for him, and he used his own chopsticks to move towards the kelp silk.
Han Du glanced at his younger brother, ha! Also a foodie.
Kelp contains sodium glutamate, which is the main component of MSG. It is difficult for ordinary people to resist this delicious taste. The original MSG was extracted from kelp. Children have well-developed taste buds, and the last thing they can't resist is MSG.
Others saw Han Shu's transformation in their eyes. Could it be that this food is really delicious?
Han De hesitated for a moment, stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a little and put it into his mouth. He ate it three times, five divided by two, and nodded repeatedly, "Madam, it's really delicious. Du'er didn't talk nonsense. Try it~"
After saying that, he gave Liu a piece of kelp silk with chopsticks, and then continued to give it to himself.
Mrs. Liu tried to take a bite, and soon everyone except Han Jingyun fell into eating kelp shreds.
Han Du looked at the girl strangely and asked, "Why don't you eat?"
Sister Jingyun was still wondering how she was isolated in an instant. When she heard Han Du's words, she gritted her teeth and said viciously: "This is food for pigs. Even if you beat me to death, I won't eat it."
When Han De heard this, he was embarrassed for three seconds and then continued eating kelp shreds as if nothing had happened.
Compared with some unpleasant words, eating delicious food is more important.
After hearing what the girl said, Han Du nodded indifferently and said, "Brother, if I tell you something, you will eat it, believe it or not?"
"I don't believe it!" Sister Jingyun said unconvinced. She thinks that as long as she doesn't eat, even her eldest brother can't do anything to her.
Han Du curled his lips, stopped his chopsticks and said, "Have you ever seen those people whose necks have become very big?"
Sister Jingyun had naturally seen them before, but the appearance of those people made her feel very disgusted, and she never dared to look at them more.
When Han Du saw the girl nodding, he ignored the disgusted expression on her face and continued: "Actually, it is a disease, and the cause of this disease is that something called iodine is missing from the food that people usually eat. .”
Hearing Han Du speak, everyone else stopped temporarily and listened carefully to what Han Du had to say.
"Iodine is very little in the food we eat on a daily basis. Once a person is deficient in this thing, he or she will get sick and develop the kind of big neck you have seen. But there is a vegetable that contains a lot of it, which is Hundreds of times that of other dishes.”
Han Du pointed at the kelp with his chopsticks.
Han De immediately asked Han Du: "Do you still know medical skills?"
Han Du was stunned for a moment and replied: "Dad, I don't know medical skills, I just happen to know this stuff."
Then he looked up at Sister Jingyun and asked playfully: "Are you going to eat or not?"
Han Du's meaning is very clear. If you don't eat it, you are in danger of contracting big neck disease. If you eat it, there is no such risk.
Han Jingyun naturally didn't want to get that kind of weird disease. If she really got that disgusting disease, it would be worse than death. But she didn't want to be accused of eating pig food, and she was about to shed anxious tears.
Big brother is a bad guy!
In the end, Han Jingyun reluctantly picked up the chopsticks and ate the kelp shreds. Compared to suffering from that disgusting disease, Han Jingyun still felt that it was better to eat pig food. And this food tastes really delicious, so I don’t have such a big grudge in my heart.
Han De didn't care about Han Jingyun's expression. Compared with the little daughter's coyness, I still think that the thing Han Du said can cure diseases is more important.
"Du'er, tell the truth, can this thing really cure that kind of disease?"
People who suffer from that kind of big neck disease have no cure and are regarded as a punishment from God. The pain of illness is nothing, but the patient’s mental pain is what makes them miserable. Almost every year, there are people who choose to commit suicide because they have this disease and cannot stand the judgment of people around them.
If this thing can really cure this disease, it will be good news to people all over the world.
Han Du shook his head, "It cannot be treated, it can only be prevented. Prevention means that if you are already sick, you cannot cure it by eating kelp. But if you are not yet sick and eat kelp regularly, it will not be cured." You will get this disease.”
Han De understood what Han Du meant.
In other words, there is still no cure for those who are already sick. But by eating this thing, people who are not sick can be prevented from getting sick.
This is actually not bad.
As soon as Han De thought of this, he got up and wrote to the court. But he immediately thought that he was now a commoner with no official position, so he sat down helplessly.
Turning to look at Han Du, his eyes lit up and he said, "Then why don't you quickly write to the court to let the people eat this?"
Han Du looked at his father in bewilderment, then laughed out loud after a moment, "Dad, even your son told you that this thing is edible, but you are still unwilling to try a bite. Everyone thinks this thing is eaten by pigs, how can you do that?" Let them eat by themselves? You can't give an order from the court. Besides, even if the children submit a memorial, the people in the court may not believe it."
These words made sense, but Han De bowed his head in vain.
I don't dare to try a bite of something, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to want the people to eat it all at once.
Seeing that his father looked a little depressed, Han Du comforted him: "This kind of thing can only be dealt with slowly. There will be a road before the car reaches the mountain, so take your time."
Han De could only sigh in despair and nodded helplessly.
...
Han Du ate the kelp with peace of mind, but the news that he wanted to eat pig food quickly spread among the markets. Many people know that there is an official like him who eats pig food.
On this day, Han Du was discussing ink matters with the craftsmen in the banknote bureau, but he saw Xiong Shi running in panting.
"Sir, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned you."
Um? This Zhu Biao is very efficient in his work. How can he help himself to ask questions so quickly?
Han Du thought it was Zhu Biao who asked him about Princess Anqing, so he hurriedly followed the visitor.
But as the person leading the way just walked through the outer city, Han Du realized that this didn't seem to be taking him to the East Palace.
Does Zhu Biao want to see him outside?
However, considering that his matter really put Zhu Biao in trouble, Han Du didn't care. Anyway, he only needed news, and it didn't matter where he was summoned.
