Mother Yu: "Why does it smell like rice has been burned while cooking? No, it's not just burnt, it's charred."
Upon hearing this, Beibei immediately nodded, "I felt that this smell was familiar, but I didn't know what it was. It smelled like burnt rice."
Mr. Yu didn't understand either, "Why are so many people still buying this stuff to drink? It's so expensive, isn't it just like dishwater? If you want to burn the rice a little, then wash the pot, wouldn't that be just as good?"

Seeing An'an and Dangdang's appearance, a sentence suddenly came to Liu Yun's mind.
I think I once saw someone online joking that coffee was originally fed to livestock like cows and horses to keep them alert and make them work overtime. Later, it was also given to humans to keep them alert and make them work overtime.
It's funny to think about, but it also seems incredibly apt.
