"Of course I know—but it's actually an honor to be ripped off by Miss Cheshire Cat." Bai Meng said with a teasing smile: "Also, your so-called blackmail is actually just a request to renew the contract, right?"
"Hmm—but, this time the discount is 30%—that's another 10% off compared to before." The Cheshire Cat ruffled his hair with his fingers. "Actually, I've thought about it—even though it doesn't seem like a big discount, if you use it every day, it actually saves us a lot of money. It's just that I feel bad that you're going to make less money, so I'll give you more authority, meow—"
"Greater authority?" Feng Ruye shook his head. "You must be thinking of other ways to rip off customers, you bastard—"
"Don't say such harsh words. We are in a cooperative relationship. If that's the case, then it proves that we both have orders from each other and are important customers to each other. Miss Bai Meng is indeed very kind, even saintly. However, if there was no profit at all, she certainly wouldn't do such a boring thing. After all, it's still business. She separates business and charity, and would never say that the money she earns from business is for charity..."
"But—just what kind of authority do you think is equivalent to giving regular customers a 30% discount on all flower orders?"
"It's simple—I'm only lowering the unit price, but the total price won't change, and may even increase. Also, even if some snacks aren't available on their day, I can still provide them here. This is a special privilege that even the highest-ranking officials in the empire don't have."
Chu Shangli suddenly thought of the oatmeal lemon tart that caused his allergy—
Chu Moyin's explanation at the time was that the oatmeal lemon tart was not on sale, so it was absolutely impossible for it to be sold -
After trying it before, I also confirmed that all of Family's snacks are made of special desensitized materials. I tacitly accepted that the manager of Family would not sell products that were not on the release date no matter how much money was paid, so I believed Chu Moyin's self-proof.
However, Bai Xiaoqian's flower shop is a bit of a bug. Not only are there various recipes from the Family at home, but it can also make food on days other than the release date. You can also call the store manager out to order takeout on days other than the release date.
Chu Shangli also noticed that in the takeaway brought by the Cheshire Cat, all the food that was not on the release date was packaged in boxes that were from the day of release.
It's possible that Bai Xiaoqian's family didn't have the lemon tart packaging box and was using the old lemon tart packaging box...
No, there should be no hatred between him and Bai Xiaoqian or Bai Xiaoqian's family. They have no reason to retaliate against him, let alone poison him.
However, this possibility has indeed been lingering in my mind.
Are there any methods or means to verify it?
"Oh right." Chu Shangli pretended to be unconscious and asked, "So, can we buy the oatmeal lemon tart when it's not on sale?"
"..." The Cheshire Cat's gaze fell on Chu Shangli, and his face was full of "I told you that you won't be allergic anymore, why are you still suspicious?"
But she still replied with a smile, "Of course you can—but neither Miss Bai Meng nor Mr. Bai Jin will order it. Oatmeal lemon tart is delicious, but to them, it's a bit like prison food."
"Prison food?"
"Hmm, wait, that seems misleading, so let me correct you. It's not prison food, but rather a prison meal. Anyway, it's something like that. They're probably eating oatmeal every day, so I don't think they'd like it. I didn't bring any today, either."
