Chapter 6
More Shopping
Before the apocalypse during her previous life, Du Yue often came to this restaurant for meals. Although the dishes made by the chefs here were simple, they were to her liking.
As Du Yue ate, she thought about how she would never be able to eat such delicious food again in three months, which made her feel a little depressed.
However, she suddenly had an idea.
After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Du Yue met the owner of the restaurant and told him that she wanted to order meals for her company’s workers. She wanted multiple servings of each of her favorite dishes. She would come to collect them every day at lunch time for a month.
Du Yue did not order more because she had other favorite restaurants. She planned to visit all of them in the afternoon and make reservations at each one.
In this way, even when the apocalypse came, she would not have to worry about not being able to eat delicious food.
Just like that, Du Yue went from restaurant to restaurant for the entire afternoon and ordered servings of every single dish she liked.
As the sun set, Du Yue went to the food street next to the university. There were many delicacies sold here, and she liked almost everything.
Whether it was grilled salmon skin, grilled squid skewers, cold noodles with spicy hot pot, rice noodles with stinky tofu, Du Yue tried all of the delicacies on the entire food street.
In addition to the food that she ate, she also bought a lot of other things. By the time she left, she had accumulated bags and bags of stuff.
Were it not for the fact that the street was packed with people, and that there were surveillance cameras watching, she probably would have stuffed everything into her storage space.
Du Yue only did so after returning to her car.
The sky gradually darkened, and night fell. When Du Yue saw that the grapes she had placed inside the storage space in the morning had remained the same, plump and juicy, without any shriveling, she was relieved.
As expected, this storage space could preserve food!
Any food that was placed inside would be kept fresh and would not go bad.
Her speculation had been verified, and Du Yue no longer had to be afraid. She could buy whatever she wanted!
After taking a shower, Du Yue lay in bed. She did not close her eyes. Instead, she opened a shopping app on her phone.
The wholesale market was the right place to buy basic daily necessities, but some of her favorite snacks and fast food items could only be bought on the shopping app.
For example, instant noodles, dried meats, nuts, chips, biscuits and spicy sticks. Du Yue bought a lot of each.
As she had bought too many things, Du Yue had changed the delivery address to the location of the warehouse.
After she was done, Du Yue took out her tablet and crossed out the names of the items she had bought. She then closed her eyes in relief.
She did not sleep well at all. In her dreams, she was struggling bitterly in the apocalyptic world. After tossing and turning throughout the night, she made it to daybreak.
When she slowly opened her eyes and saw the familiar surroundings, she relaxed a little.
Fortunately, the world had not yet started to change! Du Yue consoled herself that everything in her dream last night was just a terrible nightmare. In this life, she had a second chance. As long as she worked hard, she would definitely live longer than in her previous life!
For the first meal of the day, Du Yue cooked herself a bowl of clear soup noodles. She simply added scallions, fried an egg, and took a bag of pickled vegetables from the refrigerator to accompany the simple meal.
After breakfast, Du Yue did not rest and drove out immediately.
Today would be another day of shopping!
On the first day, she had bought food and food-related supplies. Today, Du Yue bought daily necessities.
Shampoos, shower gels, hand wash soap, body soap, detergent, conditioner, toothpastes, and toothbrushes; Du Yue bought 200 boxes of each.
In addition she bought enough toilet paper, wet wipes, sanitary pads, alcohol wipes, and face towels to last a lifetime.
Du Yue also bought 100 sets of each of her regular skincare and facial wash products.
After buying personal care products, Du Yue bought disposable chopsticks, containers, plastic bags, resealable bags, baking parchment, oil paper, and more.
These were all consumable items which would cease production when the apocalypse arrived.
