Chapter 236 Store Opening
Two days later, Qiao Yu finally received the news that the bran and wheat project had completed all inspections and tests.
In other words, Qiao Yu's "plan to contact the upper echelons of the base" has been largely successful.
However, the results have not been announced to the public yet. It was only because Professor Kang and Yu Qingchuan were the leaders of this project that Qiao Yu and others were able to know the news in advance.
Early in the morning, Qiao Yu went out with Jiang Zhan, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen.
Qiao Yu looked around but did not see Hua Yue's biological mother.
Seeing Qiao Yu turning her head and looking around, Jiang Zhan knew she was looking for Hua Yue's biological mother, so he whispered, "Don't look for her. That woman didn't come today."
"Oh, that's strange!" Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows when he heard that. "Could it be that he was really scared away?"
Luo Zhenzhen pursed her lips, a puzzled expression on her face, "That can't be true...didn't she come knocking on the door yesterday?"
Yesterday morning, Huayue's biological mother came and knocked on their gate.
He probably came to look for Huayue, but they were not at home at the time. Wang Zha roared and scared her away again.
Huayue has not been at home for the past two days.
Although she was staying with them temporarily, Huayue refused to take their things no matter what.
Her body has fully recovered, and she has been running to the mission hall recently, taking on some simple tasks.
"Forget it, let's ignore her. It's better if she doesn't come. We can still have some peace and quiet." Qiao Yu took Jiang Zhan's arm and pulled him towards the market. "Let's go quickly. Don't keep Lao Ding and the others waiting for too long."
Qiao Yu and his three companions soon arrived at the market.
——Today is the opening day of their store.
Now Li Pingwei has been sent to the research institute, and Bumai's project will soon be released.
Next, they just need to spread the news that the store sells bran cakes and mutant wheat seeds as much as possible. If nothing unexpected happens, Commander Xie will definitely contact them as soon as he gets the news.
"Boss, you're here."
As soon as Qiao Yu and his four companions entered the store, Ding Baian and his team members came to greet them.
Cheng Sinian looked around the shop, then walked over to Ding Baian, put his arm around his neck, and said lazily, "Well done, Old Ding!"
Although the store decoration is simple, you can see that a lot of thought has been put into it.
And everywhere is cleaned very well, which makes people feel comfortable when looking at it.
Qiao Yu looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.
Ding Baian felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. He smiled and touched the back of his head, "This is what we should do."
"Where are the bran and wheat cakes? Are they all ready?" Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows and asked softly.
"It's ready." Xu Zishan nodded and pointed to the reserved warehouse behind her. "It's all ready and stored in the warehouse. You can just take it out later."
The recipe for bran-wheat pancakes was given by Qiao Yu.
The production method was recalled by Qiao Yu based on his memories of the base in his previous life.
I originally wanted to let Cheng Sinian do it, but after Cheng Sinian found out that Ding Baian and the others could cook, he immediately gave this "important task" to Ding Baian and the others.
Are you kidding? If he were to make so many bran and wheat cakes by himself, it would take him forever!
When Qiao Yu and his companions arrived at the warehouse, they found four large baskets of wheat bran cakes covered with white cloth on the table.
Qiao Yu lifted the white cloth, took a cake from one of the baskets containing wheat and bran cakes, broke off a small piece, and put it in his mouth.
The dry bran and wheat slid down his esophagus, making Qiao Yu feel a little nostalgic.
It’s been a long time.
She had eaten this flavor for two years in her previous life.
"It tastes just right." Qiao Yu looked at the wheat bran pancake in his hand and said with a chuckle.
"That's good." Ding Baian breathed a sigh of relief. "We were worried that the recipe proportions might be wrong and the food might not taste good."
The conditions were simple now, without those sophisticated instruments, so they had to figure out how much material to put in. He was really afraid of getting something wrong and making Qiao Yu unhappy.
Qiao Yu smiled, broke off a small piece and stuffed it into Jiang Zhan's mouth, then handed the rest of the cake to Cheng Sinian.
"No, it tastes really good." Cheng Sinian followed Luo Zhenzhen's example and broke off two pieces of pancakes and ate them, but his brows furrowed slightly. "It just makes my throat a little sore."
"That's what bran and wheat are like." Qiao Yu smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "For those people outside, it's already very good to have food like this."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Because they knew that although what Qiao Yu said was cruel, it was the truth.
Since the apocalypse, food supplies have become increasingly scarce, and food prices have continued to soar.
Many low-level mercenaries have already started eating tree bark, not to mention ordinary people.
"Dr. Yu... is truly great."
Qiao Yu held the remaining half of the pancake in her hand, her eyes completely unfocused, her tone a mixture of sadness and admiration. It was as if she was looking through the pancake at Dr. Yu... and her past life.
If there were no Dr. Yu, more people would probably have starved to death, both in the past life and in this life.
Qiao Yu was distracted for a while, then lowered his head, broke off a little more of the half cake, and stuffed it into his mouth.
While eating, he said, "Don't waste it. This piece of cake must be eaten up."
Seeing Qiao Yu like this, Cheng Sinian took the remaining cake from his hand, stuffed it all into his mouth, and chewed it with difficulty.
"That's right, it can't be wasted."
After swallowing the throat-sucking pancake, Cheng Sinian began to smile lazily again, "Okay, now that we're done eating, it's time to get back to work, right?"
"Pack up and get ready to open!"
Everyone raised their lips and smiled slightly when they heard this.
"Okay." Qiao Yu put his hands together and clapped his hands, "Open for business!"
Qiao Yu pretended to take out two fireworks from his pocket, but actually he took out two fireworks from the space.
Since it’s a business opening, it has to look festive.
Qiao Yu came to the door and lit the fireworks.
Although it was broad daylight, the fireworks still bloomed beautifully in the sky.
Seeing people standing around watching, Cheng Sinian took the opportunity to shout at the door: "Freshly baked wheat and bran pancakes! The only edible mutant food in the apocalypse!"
"Big sale for our new store opening! All our wheat and bran pancakes are free today! We'll be closing when they're all gone. First come, first served!"
The huge fireworks and Cheng Sinian's hawking quickly attracted a large number of onlookers.
Someone in the crowd asked tentatively, "Wheat bran cakes? Are they the wheat bran from before the apocalypse? Is wheat still edible now?"
Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows and smiled, then shouted, "That's right! It's bran wheat! Mutated wheat is indeed inedible, but bran wheat is definitely edible!"
