Yu Hui took out a double-combination meal from the styrofoam box and sat on the cool chair to eat it.
He picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. The first bite was of the skin, which was soft, chewy, and bouncy. The next layer was lean meat, which was firm, juicy, and not greasy at all.
"Mmm...delicious."
He nodded in satisfaction, then took another bite of the tomato and egg stir-fry. It was crisp, smooth, sweet and sour, and very appetizing.
"It's so delicious!"
These past few days, Yu Hui has been eating the dishes he cooks himself, and he eats two or three bowls of food in one meal. He's probably gained three to five pounds in the last few days.
There's no way around it, this dish is just too delicious, it's hard not to gain weight!
As Yu Hui was eating, she suddenly felt raindrops falling on her face.
"Is it raining?"
He muttered to himself, then looked up and saw the raindrops falling like broken silver beads, pointing towards the ground.
Business was good at noon today. Yu Hui was hoping to sell out before the rain started so he could close up shop early.
It seems there's no hope now!
Why!
What was bound to happen has happened.
The thing that street vendors fear most is rainy days.
Even with a large umbrella over the stall, it couldn't stop the strong onslaught of rain. The entire stall swayed in the wind, looking like it might collapse at any moment.
Before the rain got too heavy, Yu Hui set up the large umbrella for his stall and continued cooking.
Today, as usual, Xiong Bowen, Ye Qian, and Aunt Zhang all came to buy a boxed lunch.
They come here every day, and Yu Hui is used to it. But what is unexpected is that even Liu Qing came to buy a serving today.
He probably saw the stall owner next door eating it every day and was so tempted that he came over to buy it.
That's true.
Instant noodles are just instant noodles; you'll get tired of them if you eat too much of them.
Not to mention, the instant noodles Liu Qing cooked were absolutely awful...
If the stall owner could increase repeat customers, this task would have been completed long ago!
Yu Hui sighed.
After the meal, a number of tourists arrived one after another.
Because it wasn't mealtime and it was raining, business wasn't good. By 5:30, there were still more than ten fast food meals left unsold.
This is even with twenty fewer orders than yesterday.
"Looks like we're in for a long battle today!" Yu Hui muttered to himself.
But that's okay. Today's biggest task is to find potential customers. As long as there are repeat customers, we've made a profit!
There are still more than ten boxed meals left, and maybe some customers will come back!
Beep beep beep!
A WeChat text message brought Yu Hui back to reality.
Zhu Zi: "Brother Yu Hui, we've finished buying the ingredients we need for tomorrow. Shall I come find you now?"
Sunset Glow: "Okay, you can come over here first."
......
On the other side.
"It's all your fault! I told you I was going to take an umbrella today, but you kept insisting it would be fine. Now look what's happened! We're going to get soaked in this heavy rain!"
Wang Ying pouted and punched Li Ba.
"Xiaoying, you can't blame me for this. We were already on the bus when you said you needed to go back to school to get your umbrella. With that going back and forth, how were we supposed to climb the mountain today?"
Li Ba frowned, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Two days ago, on their 100-day anniversary, they climbed Chuanshan Mountain.
Ever since that incident, Li Ba and Xiao Ying have been craving that braised chicken.
It just so happens that it's the weekend and I don't have any classes, so I came here to go hiking.
The first time they climbed a mountain, they found it very novel. Now, on their second climb, they just want to reach the top as soon as possible and have a hot meal.
To our surprise, it started raining halfway up the mountain!
Li Ba and Wang Ying found a place to take shelter from the rain.
"Xiaoying, let's rest for a while and wait for the rain to stop."
Li Ba took out a wet wipe and helped Wang Ying wipe the raindrops off her face, then wiped his own face as well.
"It's already 5:30, and we'll probably have to close up shop soon."
Wang Ying stamped her foot, looking extremely flustered.
Seeing this, Li Ba sighed deeply.
Why!
This fast food is so hard to buy.
Every time I want to eat, I have to climb for five or six hours...
"Xiaoying, don't worry, let's wait a bit, maybe the rain will stop soon."
Wang Ying hummed in agreement and then remained silent.
The two of them spent all their time together yesterday and didn't sleep well, and then they had to get up really early this morning. It's unbearable!
Fifteen minutes later.
The rain was getting heavier and showed no signs of stopping.
At this moment, Li Ba and Wang Ying were really anxious.
"Handsome guy/beautiful lady, would you like to buy an umbrella?"
Just then, a short, thin old woman with missing front teeth walked over carrying several disposable raincoats.
"Grandma, how much is it?"
Upon seeing this old woman, Li Ba felt as if he had seen a savior.
The old lady said, "50 yuan per piece."
"50 yuan? That's so expensive. It's usually only 10 yuan a piece."
Wang Ba's eyes widened as he saw the old lady looking at him with a smile.
This is clearly a scam to rip you off!
But there's no other way; we can't just walk through this heavy rain.
If we wait until the rain stops, it will probably be dark by then.
In the end, he gritted his teeth and bought two raincoats.
After putting on their raincoats, the two continued climbing the mountain in the rain.
——————
At the same time.
Pan Tiezhu also came to the food street and sat down next to Yu Hui.
Pan Tiezhu said, "Brother, I think there are far fewer people climbing the mountain today, so the remaining ones might be a bit hard to sell."
When are we going back?
Yu Hui said, "Let's wait and see. If these ten or so boxes don't sell, we'll be stuck with them."
