Xiao Yifeng felt relieved when he saw Jiang Yutong took the banknote.

Jiang Yutong continued, "These are what I deserve. I took a huge risk to save you. Once you've recovered, leave immediately."

"no problem."

The two of them lived in peace and harmony.

The clothes Jiang Yutong made for Xiao Yifeng were ready, and Xiao Yifeng could finally change his clothes.

Jiang Yutong now had enough money and started researching MSG.

She had seen the method of making MSG in a book before, but now her conditions were limited and she needed to try it.

Jiang Yutong prepared the wheat and used the water tank at home directly. She added water to soak the wheat to soften it. Two days later, Jiang Yutong found that the wheat had softened. Then she needed to add an appropriate amount of vinegar or lemon juice. She didn't see any lemons for sale at the moment, so she could only use vinegar instead.

In fact, the method of using wood ash is also possible. She divided the wheat into two parts, used wood ash for one part and vinegar for the other part.

After another two days, the wheat had been completely hydrolyzed.

The most important step is filtering to remove impurities.

Jiang Yutong filtered the mixture through gauze, then added wood ash again. After heating, a precipitate of monosodium glutamate appeared. This precipitate needed to be collected, washed, and dried again.

Then dissolve it in water, add wood ash again, boil it a second time, evaporate the water, and finally cool it. The resulting crystals are MSG.

Xiao Yifeng saw Jiang Yutong busy in the kitchen all day, steaming and drying things, and he didn't know what he was busy with.

Occasionally, Jiang Yutong's excited screams could be heard.

Except for seeing her three times a day for meals, he never saw her again. One time, Xiao Yifeng couldn't help but ask, "What are you busy with recently?"

Jiang Yutong couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She was extremely excited and felt that she was about to succeed.

"I'm doing something great, and you'll know when the time comes."

Xiao Yifeng was also very happy to see her so happy.

Jiang Yutong put down the dishes and chopsticks, "You wash the dishes."

Then I went to see her MSG.

Xiao Yifeng looked at the bowl in his hand. He didn't expect that he, a prince, would have to do the job of washing dishes.

But now that he was living under someone else's roof, Xiao Yifeng didn't dare to complain. This wasn't his first time washing dishes, and he was now very skilled. At the beginning, he accidentally broke several bowls and thought Jiang Yutong would stop him from washing dishes. To his surprise, Jiang Yutong just looked at the bowls on the ground and said calmly, "It's okay, you'll get the hang of it if you keep doing it. I don't keep idle people here."

Now Xiao Yifeng is becoming more and more skilled in washing dishes.

Jiang Yutong is now in the second stage of heating. Today she wants to heat all of these and evaporate them. After being busy in the kitchen for an entire afternoon, she is finally almost done and just waiting for them to cool down.

As soon as she got up the next day, Jiang Yutong couldn't wait to go see her beloved MSG.

"Successful, I finally succeeded. Hahahaha."

Xiao Yifeng was awakened by Jiang Yutong's voice.

When Xiao Yifeng opened the door, he saw Jiang Yutong holding something white in her hand and was very excited.

"Did you succeed? Now you can tell me what this is."

Jiang Yutong came to Xiao Yifeng holding the MSG and said, "Try it."

Xiao Yifeng looked at Jiang Yutong suspiciously, his eyes full of questions. Finally, under Jiang Yutong's eager gaze, he pinched a little bit with his hand and tasted it.

A delicious taste that I had never tasted before spread in my mouth.

Jiang Yutong asked expectantly, "How is it?"

Xiao Yifeng took another sip and said, "Very delicious."

Jiang Yutong put down the MSG in her hand and said proudly, "I'll put a little in when I cook noodles later and you'll know."

Jiang Yutong was already a little impatient.

She quickly went into the kitchen and started to get busy. Xiao Yifeng stood by the stove to help her light the fire. Ever since he was able to walk, lighting the fire had become his job.

The noodles were cooked quickly. Jiang Yutong specially served a bowl of noodles without MSG, then added a small amount of MSG, stirred it, and finally served it out of the pot.

"Okay, now the only difference between the two servings of noodles is whether or not MSG is added. Try it."

Xiao Yifeng first ate the noodles without MSG, which tasted the same as usual, and then he tasted the noodles with MSG.

Jiang Yutong asked expectantly, "How is it?"

Xiao Yifeng raised his eyebrows, "It's indeed different. This one tastes much better."

I didn't expect that this thing called MSG made by Jiang Yutong would have such an effect.

Xiao Yifeng gave a thumbs up, "Not bad."

Jiang Yutong couldn't wait to taste it. She was very satisfied. This was the result she wanted.

Jiang Yutong added a little MSG to the last bowl of noodles without MSG.

The two of them enjoyed the meal very much and ate more than usual.

While Xiao Yifeng went to wash the dishes, Jiang Yutong calculated the cost of half a jar of MSG.

She used four dou of wheat, which cost 35 wen per dou, for a total of 140 wen. There was no other cost. She found that vinegar was expensive and wood ash had a similar effect.

Jiang Yutong measured it and found that 4 dou of wheat was exactly equal to one dou of MSG. MSG is only used to enhance the flavor and the amount used will not be large. It can be sold in small packages.

Jiang Yutong couldn't wait to go to the city. Now that MSG was produced, the most important thing was sales.

Jiang Yutong said to Xiao Yifeng, "I'm going into the city. You stay home by yourself. Be careful not to be discovered."

Xiao Yifeng nodded, "Be careful."

Jiang Yutong quickly packed the MSG and went out with the bamboo basket on his back.

Jiang Yutong first went to Aunt Wang and Sister-in-law Xing'er's house and gave them some of the MSG she had prepared. "Aunt, this is my homemade seasoning. Just add a little bit to your dishes to enhance the flavor."

Aunt Wang happened to have eaten noodles in the morning. Jiang Yutong scooped some in with a spoon and said, "Try it again."

Aunt Wang really took a bite and said, "Hmm, it's delicious. It's really different. Yutong, you are amazing."

Jiang Yutong put down the MSG and said to Doctor Li and Li Nanxing, "Uncle Li, Brother Nanxing, you guys try it too."

Both of them put a little bit, "It's really good, delicious."

Jiang Yutong was very happy to receive the recognition from others. "I'll leave this to you. I'm going to the county town now to see if I can exchange it for some silver."

Aunt Wang was very happy as she watched Jiang Yutong leave. "Yutong is such a great girl. Whoever marries her in the future will be blessed."

Li Nanxing paused with his chopsticks, his face showing obvious joy. Before he could say anything, Aunt Wang said, "Nanxing, there's a pretty girl named Xiuhua from the next village. Do you want to meet her?"

The joy on Li Nanxing's face disappeared immediately, and he ate in silence. Aunt Wang saw that Li Nanxing ignored her and asked again, "Why don't you give me some advice? You're so silent all day long. Which girl would like you?"

Li Nanxing said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to get married yet."

Aunt Wang was furious when she heard this. "You are not a child anymore, why don't you want to get married? Children your age can already help with the cooking."

"Anyway, I don't want to get married right now."

"you......"

Doctor Li saw that the mother and son were about to start arguing again, so he quickly interrupted them and said, "Eat, eat, we'll talk later."

Aunt Wang glared at Doctor Li who was trying to smooth things over, and stopped talking.

Doctor Li touched his nose and finished his meal in silence.
