Xiao Jian did not answer her.
Xiao Jian is just an ordinary minivan; it's really asking too much of it.
Qin Yi knew, of course, that no GPS tracker had been installed in the car; what bad intentions could these students possibly have?
Perhaps they happened to be nearby, or perhaps their friends saw the stall and notified them, which is why they came over.
The sky was overcast today, and the air was damp, making it feel like it was about to rain.
Qin Yi did not impose any further purchase limits, as she wanted the college students to finish their purchases as soon as possible and return home.
So she tossed the pot around rapidly, and the instant noodles danced wildly in the heat.
But it still couldn't keep up with the heavy rain that God sent down.
When Qin Yi finished cooking the grilled squid instant noodles that several classmates had ordered, it was ready.
The raindrops hit the ground and grew larger and larger, and it looked like a downpour was about to begin.
Wu Miaoyu and Xu Guoqing helped her put the light boards, tables and chairs into the car.
Then everyone took shelter from the rain in a bus shelter at a nearby bus stop.
Qin Yi quickly got out of the car, held up an umbrella, and delivered the items.
"Hey classmate, here's your stir-fried instant noodles."
"Boss, I'd like three more bowls to go."
"I want two bowls."
Qin Yi laughed when she heard this: "In such heavy rain, you still remember to buy food. Shouldn't you contact your classmates or friends to send an umbrella and think about how to get home?"
"Boss, we've already come all this way, and we're stuck in the rain. Wouldn't it be even more frustrating if we didn't get to eat your instant noodles?"
"Yes, you're absolutely right!"
"Yeah, between getting soaked in the rain and going home, I choose to eat noodles! I'm going to stand here and finish my noodles before getting soaked on my way home!"
"Hey, you've even created a closed loop."
Wu Miaoyu rushed to the front of the crowd and said, "Boss, do you remember me?"
Qin Yi nodded: "I remember, weren't you the girl with low blood sugar who almost fainted yesterday?"
Wu Miaoyu quickly nodded: "Yes, yes! Look how hard it is raining, and no one is using an umbrella. Let's just finish our noodles here and wait for the rain to stop. I'm free anyway. Let me take your takeout to the bus stop so you can cook the noodles on the bus without worry, and it will be much faster."
Looking at the classmates waiting behind her, Qin Yi felt a little anxious, so she said to Wu Miaoyu, "Then I'll trouble you. I'll bring a bowl of hot soup to everyone here later to warm you up."
After saying that, the two of them took their umbrellas and went back to the van.
"Excuse me, what's your name? Have you had breakfast?"
Qin Yi was still a little worried that the girl would get dizzy from waiting too long.
"I ate some cereal and chocolate this morning, so I'm not hungry yet. Don't worry about me, sister."
"That's good. I'll cook a bowl of vegetable and tofu soup and keep it warm in the pot. If you're hungry, have a bowl first."
"Okay!" Wu Miaoyu smiled sweetly, "You go ahead and get busy."
Qin Yi took out tofu, mushrooms, tomatoes and eggs from the refrigerator.
I bought these ingredients yesterday when I passed by the market after work. I originally planned to cook a bowl of soup for myself this morning, but I was tempted by the fried noodles, so I left them until now.
First, cut the tofu into small cubes, peel and dice the tomatoes, tear the mushrooms into small pieces, and beat the eggs in a bowl.
This is a quick and delicious soup that's very easy to make.
Heat oil in a pan, add diced tomatoes, and stir-fry until the tomatoes release their juices and turn a reddish, slightly mushy consistency.
Then add water, pour in the chopped tofu, and then add the mushrooms.
After boiling, add salt and light soy sauce for seasoning, and then thicken with a little cornstarch slurry.
Finally, pour in the beaten eggs.
Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and pepper, then it's ready to serve.
Qin Yi scooped a bowl and handed it to Wu Miaoyu: "You should finish the soup first to tide you over, and I'll go stir-fry some instant noodles."
Wu Miaoyu took the warm tofu soup and took a big sip: "It smells so good, boss! Why don't you stir-fry some instant noodles for the students downstairs first? I can eat this soup to fill my stomach first. It must be much colder for them waiting downstairs than in the car."
Qin Yi nodded after listening: "Okay, if it's not enough, you can get more yourself. I'm going to get back to work now."
Even though there are only about 20 people standing at the bus stop, they are all ordering several dishes each.
It was rare to find that the owner didn't limit purchases, so the students who came all the way from Shida University each ordered three or four bowls.
The two comedians, Xu Guoqing and Fang Daming, quickly shouted in the class group, "Anyone want to eat?"
I deeply regret it now.
The classmates told them to take 24 servings of fried noodles home, saying that it would be perfect for breakfast or lunch when they got back.
These exemplary students aren't necessarily required to be one of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars. If they can't bring them back, they won't. It's simply because they don't have enough hands to carry them.
But I still have to ask, just to avoid feeling guilty.
Just then, the alumnus who was on the bus brought over some warm soup for everyone. Xu Guoqing took the soup from the female classmate and asked, "Classmate, could you ask the owner if he can pack 24 servings of fried noodles so that two people can carry them? If not, that's fine. I'm just asking for my classmates."
Wu Miaoyu distributed the vegetable and tofu soup that Qin Yi had prepared to the customers present. She had only brought a few bowls this time and would have to make another trip.
"Wait a minute, I'll go ask the boss and get back to you later." Then she ran back to her stall with her umbrella.
Although she had an umbrella, the rain was so heavy that the girl's trouser legs were soaked.
Looking at this scene, Xu Guoqing felt a surge of emotion: "She's such a good person. How happy I would be if this girl were mine."
Fang Daming: "Sigh, you're not good enough for her, and the girl isn't a fish either."
Wu Miaoyu crawled back into the carriage and told her about what had happened between the two classmates.
While frying noodles, Qin Yi replied, "You can take it with you. I have those big insulated boxes that can be carried around. One box can hold 15 portions."
"Oh, right, you can use this to carry the soup down later. I'm so busy I've forgotten about it. If you hadn't asked me, I wouldn't have remembered that we had this."
Wu Miaoyu quickly ladled out the vegetable soup for her classmates, covered the bowls tightly with lids, and sent a warm bowl of soup to everyone.
"The tofu is very tender, warms the stomach and soothes the intestines. Drinking this bowl of hot tomato soup really warms the heart. It was worth the more than an hour's drive to find the owner."
"Brother, not only did I take a bus for more than an hour, I also spent an extra five yuan to buy the location where the boss sets up his stall."
"People are really going all out for a bite to eat."
"I see the rain is getting lighter, it should stop in a little while, then I'll run back to school. Could you ask if the stir-fried instant noodles are ready yet?"
Qin Yi glanced at the weather outside the car and said to Wu Miaoyu, "Tell the students that when the rain stops, the students from Nan University will come to pick up the goods first. For the students from Shi University, go and count the number of people. If there are no more than eight people, tell them to wait a little longer. I will take everyone back after I finish cooking the fried noodles. Driving is faster than taking the bus."
