"What? Do you suddenly have a stomachache?"
The Cheshire Cat laughed teasingly, but its cat-like eyes still shone with a mysterious light that could see through people's hearts.
"Yeah, I do have a stomachache—"
"Could it be that Miss Chu Shangli, who consumed a lethal dose of the allergen, didn't experience an allergic reaction, but instead the allergen was transferred to you?"
"How could that happen!" Ying Meng complained.
"Then why do you have stomachaches for no reason? Another benefit of Family is that it uses a sugar substitute, so no matter how much you enjoy it, you won't gain weight. Of course, I didn't write this in the advertising slogan, because I always feel that some inexplicable people will waste food for this reason. Especially those who eat revenge food. Even though it's factory-made, it's still a bit depressing to be wasted like this."
The Cheshire Cat grinned, emphasized the words "factory goods made by machines", and deliberately stared at Chu Shangli -
He's a bad-hearted guy indeed.
However, this was the first time she knew that the food in Family didn't even contain excessive sugar.
How many secret weapons were used in this that I didn’t know about?
I actually fell in love with this mysterious store from the very beginning. Should I praise myself for having good taste?
"There are foods that can give you stomachaches even without sugar, right? I usually eat healthy meals, but there's no need to bring up the topic of sugar here..."
"But if you eat more fermented beans and foods high in crude fiber, you won't have indigestion. Although our family's snacks aren't what you'd call healthy whole-wheat foods, we extract the nutrients from them and grind them finely, so even regular food won't cause stomachaches."
"..." Ying Meng gently rubbed her lower abdomen: "Is it necessary for you to do this?"
"Of course. The empire is indeed prosperous, but, precisely because of its prosperity, business is both easy and difficult to do. If you just want to provide for your daily expenses, you don't have to worry about anything... Once you reach the level of a Family, it will definitely attract a lot of attention. Until now, I have been cautious, trying to avoid points that may cause conflicts. In addition to allergens, I have taken into account food accumulation and weight gain. If there is anything I have not considered carefully, I will definitely not let the problem be left until next month. I will definitely solve it all within the month... Isn't that great? Even a person of ordinary background has to take this into consideration. Don't forget that I come from the slums. The slums are the same as the cause of your stomachache. You also know how harsh this prosperous empire is to the residents of the slums, don't you?"
Ying Meng's sad expression became more obvious——
Even the most obtuse person could tell something from that expression...
"What's going on?"
"Heh..." Ying Meng sighed softly. "Speaking of which, you've certainly been working very hard—and have actually established connections with the higher-ups—of course, this is merely my own petty thoughts. However, I simply can't imagine any other way for you to be liberated from those strict restrictions besides establishing connections with the higher-ups."
"It wasn't me who had connections with the higher-ups, it was my parents. I'm not that powerful..."
