[Apocalypse + Food + Business Management + Raising Kids + Beastfolk]
Su Qingmai transmigrated into the apocalypse and was dragged back to a run-down restaurant by a wolf cub.
The restaurant's owner, Jing Li, was seven years old, the last human on Earth, and his dark cuisine had nearly sent Su Qingmai to an early grave.
The first thing Su Qingmai did after waking up was take over the kitchen.
The second was pull out the modern ingredients that had transmigrated with him in his backpack.
The third was show the entire apocalyptic world what true home-cooked deliciousness tasted like.
Aliens fought to pay, leaders of other races lined up for a table, and even the tyrant of a neighboring galaxy crouched at the door with a bowl, begging for takeout.
Stunned by the line stretching to the horizon outside, Su Qingmai felt a little dumpling on his shoulder lean close and say, with earnest pride:
"See? Everyone likes you."

Su Qingmai noticed that the restaurant's regulars got especially talkative over meals.
Jing Li's eyes lit up. "I want this again tomorrow."
Youyi polished off two bowls of rice and shouted, "Mai, you're like a real big brother to me!"
Ziqin took the last piece of meat from Youyi's bowl and said unhurriedly, "Ever heard of not talking while you eat?"
Shanna said nothing.
But Su Qingmai noticed that every time, he secretly moved the best piece of meat from his own bowl into Su Qingmai's.
Watching the group bicker and scramble over the last fried egg, Su Qingmai suddenly thought of the person he had been in the modern world.
After closing the restaurant, he would go home to an empty living room and finish a whole table of leftovers alone.
"Maima, why aren't you eating?" Jing Li asked, his mouth full of rice as he leaned over.
Su Qingmai lowered his head and took a bite.
Mm, somehow, food cooked in the apocalypse tasted like home.
Like an anime I've seen before, "Hotel After the Doomsday" tells the story of the robot hotel that is the last one still in business after the earthlings have left the earth.
