Blackstone Code

The temperature in the morning was 14 or 15 degrees. This temperature is actually just the right temperature for federal people——

With the economic upturn, the weight of federal people has also begun to increase significantly.

People have more money to spend on personal enjoyment, and among countless enjoyments, food is the cheapest and easiest to satisfy their material needs that people have access to!

There is nothing that makes people happier than buying a big bucket of popcorn with extra butter and sugar for 99 cents.

If you add a large bottle of high-sugar carbonated drinks and some fried chicken burgers, most of the happiness throughout the day will be concentrated here.

And it doesn’t cost a lot, five bucks is probably what it’s worth!

A large number of countries have joined the World Development Council and contributed to world trade.

This has also allowed many products to appear on the market at prices far lower than those produced by the federation itself.

For example, the corn kernels used to make popcorn, the corn kernels produced by the Federation cost about twenty to fifteen cents a pound.

But importing from abroad, including freight, can be reduced to less than 20 cents. Sometimes it may be 16 cents, sometimes it may be 18 cents, but it will not exceed 20 cents.

It may seem like there isn’t much difference from growing it yourself, but in fact, the difference is huge!

Because local farms pay not only simple monetary figures, but also time and energy, things that are difficult to measure with wealth.

For capitalists, whose corn is not expensive to buy?

They would definitely be more willing to use the cheaper ones, which cost two cents less per pound and almost forty-five yuan less per ton.

At present, the more mainstream 10,000-ton freighters in the Federation have a carrying capacity of about 20,000 tons. Each transportation is at least almost 900,000 cheaper than buying it directly from local grain merchants.

If the price of domestic corn is relatively high, it may be 2 million to 3 million cheaper!

While cheap raw materials continue to impact the federal domestic market, competition among end consumer groups is also intensifying.

Like buying a big bucket of popcorn and getting a small bucket free, or buying a big bucket of popcorn and getting a big bucket of family-sized drinks at a discount.

This competition makes it possible for any family, anywhere, to buy enough snacks and drinks for two bucks to kill an afternoon on the couch.

And if you add a few more dollars, there are even more choices to choose from!

Sugar is a very scary, potentially highly addictive product, and it is even dozens of times more addictive than cigarettes!

Just because it is so easy to obtain, and because no obvious diseases caused by excessive sugar intake have been discovered so far, people have ignored it.

The capitalists did not ignore it, they took advantage of this, and in order to make their food sales better, the entire food industry in the federation was sour and sweet.

The sour taste can make people consume more food, while the sugar can make people indulge in it more!

The weight of people in the Federation has increased a lot compared to before. Although the obesity problem is not yet obvious, it is clearly brewing!

Obesity means that people's tolerance to low temperatures has increased, because fat can effectively maintain body temperature. It is like a thick leather coat, which prevents body temperature from losing so quickly.

For thin people, the temperature of 15 or 16 degrees Celsius is terrible, but for those who are on the fat side, this temperature is just right.

It allows them to wear less thick clothes for outdoor activities without having to worry about sweating.

Lynch also received an invitation. Someone invited him to go out for an outing. He couldn't refuse. It was Severella.

The weather is nice today, and Severella wants to take her children out for a walk.

Two-year-old children actually don’t understand anything, but they know how to play.

The little guy has been able to stand independently, and he is surrounded by more than a dozen people who specialize in serving him.

Perhaps this is the so-called lucky guy who was "born with a silver spoon in his mouth". From the moment he was born, the only thing that bothered him was how to make himself happy.

Not how to survive or make more money.

Severella held Lynch's hand and stood on the lawn, bathing in the sunshine.

The sun is a little bit dazzling today. It may be that winter has lasted too long and people have adapted to the always gloomy sky.

Even if it clears up sometimes, the sunlight seems to be blocked by something and is not so strong.

"I finally got that sense of what Waldrick was feeling, and I felt like I was aging."

She squeezed her chest with her arms, "It's a little looser than before."

Lynch glanced at Severella's chest and recalled, "It's hard to tell."

Severella curled her lips, "There are clothes inside, you can't tell it's normal."

Lynch thought about it and explained, "I heard that some changes will occur after childbirth. The breasts may shrink for some reasons, especially if you breastfeed or squeeze."

This is true most of the time. The end of breastfeeding brings a lot of changes, most of which are not good.

Only those who do not breastfeed can maintain their original shape if they are loose and sagging, and they still need maintenance.

Severella glanced at him sideways again, "You know so much!"

It was obvious that there was a strong sense of ridicule in this sentence, and Lin Qi laughed twice without caring.

Watching the children stumbling and running in the sunshine, the little lives are growing up vigorously. This kind of environment and atmosphere will give people a very peaceful feeling.

The whole world lowered its voice at this moment, even the wind was not so noisy.

The little boy, surrounded by the servants, shouted "Mom" and ran towards Severella.

A large group of adults hunched over, bent their knees, and stretched out their hands to protect him from falling.

Severella let go of Lynch's arm, her face showed the brilliance of motherhood, and it actually sparkled in the sun!

She responded, squatted down, hugged the little boy, and kissed him randomly on the face.

The little boy laughed happily.

It was a very heartwarming scene until Severella said, "Call me daddy."

She held the little boy in her arms and faced Lin Qi. The little boy's dark eyes showed curiosity about Lin Qi.

His brain, which is still developing at a rapid pace, cannot actually remember too many things. New cells will cover the old cells every day, and only the content that is continuously strengthened will be deeply remembered——

Some biologists believe that the memory of animals in their childhood is actually an instinct tending to survive under pressure, rather than a real memory.

Especially wild beasts, if they misidentify their father, they are likely to die. Therefore, for species in this period, including humans, "recognizing people" is an instinct under the pressure of survival, not a memory in the true sense.

"Please..." Lynch looked at Severella, he felt a little...he couldn't put his finger on this title.

He was a little happy about his bloodline, but he didn't like children, and he was instinctively resistant and very conflicted.

Severella ignored his request and continued to interact with the little boy. Finally, under her guidance, he called out the colloquial title "Dad."

Lynch was stunned for a moment, but then his expression changed slightly.

A little smile, but not much, well hidden.

"Do you want a hug?"

Severella asked.

Lynch hesitated for a moment, and then Severella directly pushed the little boy into his arms without giving him any more chance to refuse.

Although Lynch doesn't like children, he is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to hold children.

In order to show that he "likes" children, he will also hold them.

Whether it is this world or another world, people will have a very simple understanding——

A person who likes children cannot be a bad person!

At the same time, a person who can be liked by a child is even less likely to be a bad person!

Lin Qi, who was holding her child in her arms, sighed silently. The little guy touched his face, and then quickly pursed his lips. His tears were as big as the unpredictable rain showers in summer, and they came at any time.

With a "wow" sound, he began to resist Lynch and tried his best to return to Severella's arms.

Is he afraid of Lynch?

Or did Lynch hurt him?

No, this is just his survival instinct. He instinctively lacks a sense of security in a strange environment. He feels danger, that's all.

Severella mocked Lynch's "kindness" in a high-key manner, then held the child in her arms and coaxed her for a while.

Maybe it was because he played for a long time and howled so loudly that he quickly became restless.

Severella was now very experienced, and she handed the child directly to the wet nurse.

As soon as the little guy got into the nanny's arms, he smelled the scent of milk and immediately started to crawl into her arms.

A servant cleaned the rice bowl for her, and the little one quickly found the right place. After only about ten minutes, she fell asleep in a daze.

The group began to pack their things, and Mr. Wardrick specially produced a high-security RV for the child to take care of him.

"Life is so beautiful!" Severella said with emotion.

"I can't give you more approval on this!" Lynch gave affirmative support.

Severella looked back at him and licked her lips, "Do you have anything else to do this afternoon?"

Lynch realized something and shook his head, "If you need me, I can live without you."

Severella smiled and pulled Lynch into the car. The two chatted about the recent international situation while changing positions.

It's a magical feeling, but also fun.

"In the past two years, my needs have been much greater than before. I have been using props. You have to come twice when you are fine. If you don't want me to be fine, then find another boyfriend!"

She pushed Lynch down on the bed, "Do you want another child?"
