Sophia hesitated for a moment. "I do have them but they are not ready to be seen yet. How about I invite you all to look when I am ready?"
"I can send the full photo collection to everyone first once I finish organizing it."
Everyone agreed with that.
"Okay, get ready well and make sure you notify us first when it is done," Teacher Qin said seriously.
Antiques from around the Yuanqing time are very rare now.
"Right, I remember. Not long ago, Peng City held an auction with a batch said to be from the Yuan Zhao era," Teacher Qin suddenly said.
Expert Shuxun added, "That batch was also provided by Sophia."
"Sophia?" Everyone except Professor Zhou and Amelia turned to look at her.
Their curiosity was fully raised and they could not hold back.
"Sophia, was it really you who provided those?" Teacher Qin asked, then could not help but ask, "If you add up all the Yuan Zhao items, there must be over a hundred pieces? Are these family heirlooms?"
To be honest, even with some small items included, having over a hundred antiques is impressive for most people.
To show so many antiques means either family inheritance or good background.
But from what they knew, no one had heard of Sophia before and there was no famous Jiang family here.
Sophia thought carefully and said, "They are family heirlooms but not all of them."
She mixed truth with some fiction.
Everyone looked at each other then reminded her, "Okay, just send any new items to the group."
After the meal, everyone left.
Professor Zhou's group returned to the hotel to rest so Sophia did not stay.
She got a delivery notice for her online order arriving in the afternoon so she went back to get it.
At the warehouse, a big truck was at the door.
Sophia led the way to the unloading dock.
Two men got off the truck and checked the quantity with Sophia then began unloading.
Instant noodles, sausages, marinated eggs were not very heavy. They used a forklift to carry them inside.
While unloading, another truck came.
One worker said, "This is our other truck. One truck is not enough."
The second truck could not enter so workers got off and helped carry.
Sophia only wanted to make sure General Yves's people had enough instant noodles but did not expect 10,000 boxes.
The noodle boxes stacked half a floor high taking almost half of the first floor.
Luckily the mattresses sent before were already moved out or there would not be space left.
The goods were not heavy but there were so many boxes it took until dark to finish.
Sophia ordered delivery of milk tea and some meals. After everyone ate, she sent the workers away.
Then she finally went to bring down the pig trough.
General Yves was about to rest when he got Sophia's message.
He woke up quickly and told his men to prepare for the arrival.
"This time it is a lot. Ten thousand boxes. Need a big place about six acres."
General Yves was shocked. Sophia said the things he gave her were very valuable in her time. She sent some special products back as thanks.
But General Yves didn't expect to receive such a large return.
He hadn't even seen the items yet, but in his mind, he was already thinking about what else was in his storeroom that he could send to Sophia.
The whole night, General Yves didn't get any rest.
He had enough men, but they needed to wait for Sophia to send more supplies before they could make further plans.
"It's instant noodles"
General Yves told his servant to open the box. Inside were the same noodles Sophia had sent before.
They had already figured out how to eat them. Just pour hot water on them, let them sit for a while, and then they were ready. The smell was very good too.
Even though the seasoning only came in small packets, the flavor was better than any fancy food they usually had.
Back then, Sophia only sent them once and didn't send any more. General Yves also didn't save much for himself.
He didn't want to ask Sophia directly for more to eat, so he told the cooks to try and copy the recipe, but they could never make it taste the same.
"Commander The goddess finally gave us something delicious again"
Some officers and advisors rushed over to help after hearing the news.
They didn't expect to catch such a lucky moment.
"Last time I was starving and the smell was too tempting. I ate too fast and didn't get to enjoy it properly. This time I'll take my time"
The Red Wolf Army's vice commander, a big man, brought a lantern and leaned closer. As soon as he saw clearly, he smiled with joy.
Then he grinned and asked, "Commander, how much of these noodles can our Red Wolf Army get?"
General Yves thought for a moment. "These were sent by the goddess herself. I offered her many treasures from my own storeroom to get them"
"So this batch is not going into the military's supply storage"
As soon as he said that, not only the Red Wolf Army's vice commander but also the other officers who were listening started groaning.
"Commander, there's so much food. Your house can't finish it all"
The officers started begging.
"How about we trade for some?"
The smell was right in front of them, and it made everyone remember how it tasted.
Last time, after the instant noodles were handed out, soldiers all over the camp were running around trying to find someone to share with.
Some ate earlier, others later, but the smell was so strong that every time someone made noodles, other soldiers would immediately show up to get a bite.
Even now, many in the camp still thought about the taste from time to time.
General Yves raised an eyebrow when he heard that. "Well, maybe. I'll think it over and let you know how to trade for them"
When they heard this, everyone felt relieved.
But no one, not even General Yves, expected that the supplies would keep coming all night.
Later that night, someone received a heavy box and immediately noticed something different about it.
He ran over with it to General Yves.
When they opened it, they saw soft sticks wrapped in black and yellow packaging.
General Yves understood right away. "These are sausages. You eat them with the noodles. Just add them when making the noodles"
He then told the servants to carry the box and share the sausages with all the officers nearby.
They studied them for a bit before finally opening one.
"This tastes really good too"
One officer bit into it and ate half in one go.
General Yves kept a calm face, but in his heart, he felt that the sausage was wasted on that man.
