I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse Chapter 306 Business is Good

306 Business is Good

Du Yue felt a little upset when she heard the furniture store owner’s words. The third base seemed to be good in all aspects, but they did not expect the base to have such an unknown side. Even so, the third base was still much stronger than the second base. Du Yue and He Xing moved quickly. After two days of simple preparations, their restaurant was ready for business.

There was no opening ceremony and no advertising flyers. On the opening day, Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya came to help them for a while before leaving in a hurry. They were not done with the sowing yet, and they were so busy that they did not even have time to eat. It was already very difficult to find time to help.

After they left, Du Yue turned on the rice cooker and cooked some rice. The rice was bought from the grain store in the base. The rice grains were not complete, and the taste was even worse. There was almost no fragrance to it. However, rice of such quality was still not something many people could afford to eat. They could only look at it.

Due to limited resources, Du Yue and He Xing’s restaurant only had a menu with four dishes on it at the entrance. There were spicy stir-fried clams, steamed scallops, seafood soup, and raw oysters with garlic. They bought all the seafood from Yu Xinya. Yu Xinya and the others still had a lot of seafood. They were already sick of eating it every day. They were even worried about how to sell some of the seafood and then buy other food.

Du Yue and He Xing offered to buy it, which helped them a lot. In addition to these ingredients, they also spent ten contribution points to rent a card-swiping machine. The monthly rent of the card-swiping machine was ten contribution points, but there was an additional 100 contribution points as a deposit. If they broke it, the deposit would naturally go down the drain.

They had not even seen a single customer, but the contribution points in Du Yue’s card were almost spent. Even if no one came to buy their food, she and He Xing could keep the food and take their time eating it. They would not waste it. When the rice was cooked, it was lunchtime.

He Xing turned on the electromagnetic stove and poured the oil into the hot pot after it was heated up. He stir-fried the scallions, ginger, and garlic first, then added the hotpot seasoning. The hotpot base was already fragrant, and after being heated up with oil, the fragrance became even more overbearing. Du Yue was a little tempted by the smell. At this time, the fragrance was carried by the wind and directly drifted out of the door. There was no need for any flyers or advertis.e.m.e.nts. Just the smell alone was enough to attract people.

Sure enough, in less than five minutes, someone walked toward their shop and finally stopped at the door. “Another shop opened here? What are they selling? Why does it smell so good?”

Du Yue pointed at the menu on the door for him to see. “Two contribution points for a plate of spicy stir-fried clams, one point for steamed scallops, one point for a bowl of seafood soup, two points for garlic oysters, and two points for rice.”

Du Yue welcomed the customer into the restaurant and asked him to take a seat and wait for a while. She then turned around to get some rice. As for the spicy stir-fried clams and garlic oysters, they would take a while to be ready. Du Yue and He Xing did not prepare a lot of things. They only prepared about ten servings of each dish. If they could sell all of them, they would be able to earn 80 contribution points in a day. After deducting the cost, they would still have 30 contribution points left. Although this income was not enough to make them rich, it was definitely not a problem to guarantee that they would not have to worry about food and clothing.

When the first person was attracted here, there would naturally be a second person. On the first day of business, they successfully sold out all the ingredients they had prepared. Du Yue was in a good mood when she saw the 80 contribution points. Before the apocalypse, she had no interest in managing a business. She did not expect that after being tormented by the apocalypse, she started a small business, and it seemed to be doing well so far.
