What the hell was MSG? Xu Lang was speechless. Brats were brats—they loved showing off. What was MSG? It was something those Japanese devils had concocted, which later spread into China. Why did he say that?
Because the island nation was small, resources were scarce, people's lives were lacking, and their produce was nothing special. So they were frugal. They had no choice: there was little food, yet they bred a lot, making the population dense. So they economized. Once they got used to economizing, they became stingy. Once they got used to being stingy, they naturally had to come up with unnatural things to replace the ingredients' original flavor, because they could not afford otherwise.
That was why they invented MSG, also called Ajinomoto! But this was Europe, where MSG was hardly popular. Besides, this was Grant's territory. How could a dignified duke be short of money and use MSG? It did not fit Europe's dining habits. They emphasized natural flavors.
Something had indeed been added, but what did that have to do with MSG? Xu Lang did not know whether to laugh or cry. Still, his goal had been achieved. He watched Golden Horn swallow the steak in one bite and finish the milk, and his heart settled.
Unfortunately, after waiting more than ten minutes, all he saw was Golden Horn sitting there with a gloomy face, completely fine. What nonsense. Though truth serum was potent, it was nothing to an immortal who regularly refined pills. The pill toxins Golden Horn had consumed could kill countless people. With that degree of drug resistance in the Mortal Realm, even if Xu Lang fed him arsenic, he would drink it like powdered milk.
Golden Horn looked disdainful. How could Xu Lang call this flavor MSG? It was completely unappetizing. Compared
