Food Is Key

Du Yue sighed in her heart. Honestly speaking, she did not know whether her parents’ early passing was unfortunate or lucky. Perhaps an early death was better than eking out a tragic living during the apocalypse, faced with the constant threat of death. While her parents had been alive, she had lived a carefree life.

However, she had been tempered by her experiences during the apocalypse. Since she now had a chance to do it all over again, she would definitely make the most of the opportunity to increase her chances of survival during the apocalypse. The longer she lived, the better.

Although Du Yue was a girl, she was tougher than most girls due to her upbringing and training in the Shaolin Temple. In fact, her preferences were mostly different as well. She preferred functionality over aesthetics.

As an example of this, she was driving a five-seater Ford Raptor, with a long truck bed that could hold a lot of things.

Du Yue first drove to the barber and had her waist-length hair cut short.?Long hair would be a burden during the Apocalypse, not just in terms of maintenance, but hygiene and mobility as well. As such, short hair was the way forward.

After cutting her hair, Du Yue did not go to a large supermarket or chain store. Instead, she went straight to the largest wholesale market in the city.

The wholesale market had a more diverse and complete range of items, and it was cheaper. Although she had three billion in savings now, Du Yue had to use every penny wisely and not waste a single cent. freewebnove(l).com

Du Yue parked her car near the wholesale market and decided to rent a rather large but remote warehouse for three months.

After signing the contract and getting the key to the warehouse, Du Yue went into the warehouse to check it. Finding no surveillance cameras there, she locked the door and walked over to the wholesale market.

Du Yue first ordered a batch of shelves. The shelves were 2.2 meters long, 2.8 meters tall, and 60 centimeters wide. They were sold for 300 each. Du Yue bought a thousand of them in one go. The seller was overjoyed and even offered her a 10% discount, bringing down the total price to 270,000.

Du Yue paid half of the total amount as a down payment and sent her contact information and the address of the warehouse to the boss. It would take three to five days to assemble and ship a thousand shelves. She asked the boss to send them to the warehouse after he was done, but to contact her in advance before doing so.

Du Yue planned to arrange the 1,000 shelves in the same layout as the warehouse-type supermarkets that had become popular in the past few years. They would be divided into different areas according to the categories of items on display, which would make them easier to find.

After settling that matter, Du Yue turned around and went to the wholesale grain store. The grain store was doing well, so Du Yue stood at the door and had to wait more than ten minutes before she could enter.

“What do you want to buy?” The boss greeted her in a lukewarm manner.

While Du Yue was waiting at the entrance earlier, she had already taken a look at the products they had to offer. The grain store was very large, and almost all of the commonly-eaten grains could be bought here.

When Du Yue heard his question, she answered naturally, “I want 1,000 bags of Wuchang rice, 1,000 bags of pearl rice, and 1,000 bags of long grain fragrant rice.” freewebn ovel.com

“Ordinary, high-protein, all-purpose, and low-gluten flours, 1,000 bags each.”

“Black beans, red beans, soybeans, green beans, kidney beans, black beans, broad beans, and peas, 2,000 pounds each.”

“Glutinous rice, black rice, barley, brown rice, glutinous rice, purple rice, and millet, 2,000 pounds each.”

“Sweet potato noodles, mung bean noodles, soba noodles, cornmeal noodles, and sorghum noodles, 2,000 pounds each.”

“As for the various starchy vegetables in your store, like potatoes, give me three, no, five hundred pounds of each.”

After Du Yue listed out what she wanted in a calm and orderly manner, she noticed that the shop owner was staring at her with a surprised expression.

“Don’t you have these items in your shop?” Du Yue looked back at him.

The boss snapped back to his senses and sized Du Yue up without any reservations. His eyes were full of questions.

“Young lady, you’re not playing a prank on me, are you?”

Du Yue furrowed her brows.

“I don’t have time to joke with you. I bought out the contract to the university town’s cafeteria, and I’m here to stock up today.”

The boss kept staring at her in disbelief. It was obvious that he did not believe what the young girl in front of him said.
