Like a salted fish, after lying dead for a while, Ji You was not only so hungry that her stomach growled, she felt her head began to hurt faintly again. In desperation, she got up, rummaged through the cabinets in the house, and found The only two nutritional supplements I have.
The two supplements in Jiyou's hand are the lowest-grade nutritional supplements. They are produced and sold by the alliance's largest food giant, 'Huatai' food processing factory. Huatai's distribution channels are spread throughout the alliance, making them very convenient to purchase. It is also sold at a very low price, with only 2 credits per bottle. It is the main food on the tables of most poor citizens of the Alliance.
The appearance of nutritional supplements is somewhat similar to the popsicles of the 21st century, but after being opened, the inside is white and sticky. Just eating one is equivalent to eating two big bowls of rice. It is very filling. Ordinary people only need it a day. Take three sticks to sustain your activities for a day.
Nutritional supplements are divided into: low-level, intermediate, high-level... several levels are generally distinguished according to the production materials and taste. The price of mid-level nutritional supplements is 50 credits each. I heard that all the high-level nutritional supplements are used. For natural food, an ordinary 'tomato and egg' flavored advanced nutritional supplement costs at least 500 credits. Advanced nutritional supplements with other rarer ingredients are even more expensive.
certainly-
Whether it is intermediate or high level, it is something Ji You cannot afford and can only look up to.
ˆAlas~
In the six months since she came here, Ji You's food only contained low-level nutrients. Of course, her neighbors were no exception. Almost all they ate were low-level nutrients. Therefore, she has never seen those high-level nutrients with her own eyes until now. What's the difference between a potion and a cheap one?
Although life is very hard, we must not let life lose its sense of ritual.
Ji You moved a chair and set up an alloy table. The dishes and chopsticks were placed on the table one by one. Finally, a plastic rose was placed as a decoration, and the pre-dinner ceremony was completed.
Jiyou complained about herself in a bitter mood: "Ah~~~My **** little freshness has nowhere to put~~~"
Then-
Jiyou raised her hand and broke a tube of nutritional supplement into two, only taking half of it. She carefully sealed the remaining half and put it aside, planning to save it for breakfast tomorrow morning.
That's right.
That's how you save.
Um!
Poor people can think of any way to be harsh on themselves in order to save money.
However, she quickly frowned, and her fair face wrinkled into a bun.
this!
this!
This **** nutritional supplement! No matter how many times I have eaten it, or how much I have eaten, the bitter, fishy, sticky taste is still so hard to swallow.
How can something as unpalatable as nutritional supplements exist in this world?
Who is it?
Which ghost in the dark culinary world invented this thing?
This is simply an inhumane and destructive invention!
Ji You poured half of the nutritional supplement in his hand into his mouth and swallowed the whole thing into his stomach. He immediately picked up the cup of water and drank it all in one gulp.
One cup after another, three large glasses of water in a row, and the weird taste in her mouth was slightly diluted.
Actually, there is a reason why the taste of low-grade nutritional supplements is so difficult to describe. Because this product itself is positioned as low-cost, it is said to be food that can be enjoyed by street homeless people. Therefore, since the launch of this nutritional supplement, its price was initially 0.5 credit points. Over the next few hundred years, During the period, regardless of inflation, the price will only increase from 0.5 to 2 credits. To achieve this, the food company must not only ensure that the nutrients in the nutritional supplement are not lost, but also try to reduce its cost. Therefore I can only sacrifice its taste.
In fact, after years of exploration, the current low-level nutritional supplements taste much better than the original products. The first generation, that was the real dark cuisine.
In this regard, many poor Union citizens said that what else could they ask for, being able to fill their stomachs at such a low price and not let the whole family starve to death on the streets?
Taste?
nonexistent.
As long as the price is lower, it's good. A lower price is certainly better.
However, in the Interstellar Alliance, there are many large and small food companies that produce low-grade nutritional supplements. Among them, three large companies occupy the major share: Huatai, Zhengxing, and Delicious. The three companies compete with each other, causing the taste of low-grade nutritional supplements on the market to be constantly improved while maintaining nutrition and cost. At least the taste is no longer as bitter and fishy as it is now -
However-
Since Huatai hooked up with an important official from the alliance fifty years ago and completely monopolized the market of low-grade nutritional supplements, the taste of low-grade nutritional supplements has never been improved.
The era of a hundred flowers blooming is over.
Zhengxing Food disappeared and became a company that researched mecha materials.
Yishijia still exists, but it is only committed to the research of mid-to-high-end nutritional supplements and has completely abandoned the low-end market.
Other small companies? I don't know where it is buried.
Union citizens have a love-hate relationship with the food giant Huatai Company.
like?
The reason is that many of its products are low-priced and can sustain a family's expenses with just a small amount of money.
hatred?
Of course, it is because it does not want to make progress. For decades, the taste of the benchmark product "low-level nutritional supplements" has not improved at all. In order to reduce costs, even worse raw materials have been selected, resulting in an increasingly unpalatable taste.
Huatai, as a giant, occupies the entire market of low-grade nutritional supplements. Its style is very arrogant and arrogant, and it does not listen to the suggestions of the people at all, and it is completely determined to have its own way -
…
Ji You frowned. As soon as she finished taking the nutritional supplement, she immediately wanted to go to the newspaper office! —This is probably one of the side effects of dark cuisine.
Hmph~
Immediately, she logged into the Star Network and quickly went to Huatai's official website. Under the comments about low-grade nutritional supplements, when she looked at the few positive reviews, as well as the numerous neutral reviews, negative reviews, and comments complaining about the unpleasant taste, Ji You felt... The hand that was writing down the negative review suddenly stopped. With a bad taste, she wrote a five-star review and blew a wave of rainbow farts: "What kind of magical nutritional supplement is this? I saw it floating in front of my eyes as soon as I drank it." There are countless little people, they are singing, dancing... They are cheering, jumping, celebrating... Am I ascending to immortality? Here, I would like to thank Huatai, thank it for letting me experience the pleasure of taste buds, letting me know the value of food, and how good it is to still be alive after eating low-grade nutrients~~~]
After Ji You wrote it, he immediately retreated. She didn't notice that just a second after she left, several comments appeared under this comment. And because of her slightly weird speech, more and more people followed, and various ridiculing comments appeared. Quotes.
