Started as a poor little girl

"This is the new food I made today. Just wait and see, big brother. Hehe." Li Lulu bared his teeth, his eyebrows and eyes were not visible when he smiled.

Wei Lingheng, who was sitting on the side, was cutting patterns on the ham sausage, and Li Xiaoyang also sat down to help.

Li Lulu went to the market and bought a large piece of tenderloin, cut it into thin slices, marinated it with seasonings, skewered it and put it in a bowl.

There was a sound of talking in the backyard.

"These kids got up really early today." Yue Xiangmei exclaimed.

As she spoke, she walked into the kitchen and was stunned when she saw these strange things.

"Lulu, is this the new food you mentioned? Did you learn these strange things on the way back here?" Yue Xiangmei asked cautiously, for she was afraid that her daughter would remember the bad things that happened when she was kidnapped.

"Yes, mother, just watch me perform later!" Li Lulu rolled up her sleeves, full of energy.

She wanted to make more money, so that she could save enough to buy a big house in Shanxi. How comfortable that would be! She had to work harder.

Everything was ready, and Li Lulu told her second brother how to introduce the new food.

"Brother, I'll fry a portion of potatoes and a sausage and put them in front. When you see customers coming, introduce them to them. Also, introduce those things I told you can fry to them. Do you understand?"

"I understand, sister. Just wait and see!" Li Xiaoguang looked determined and patted his chest to reassure his sister.

With the new food on the market, the business became even more prosperous and we were busy all day. However, the potatoes, pork tenderloin and ham were sold out in the morning, and when the customers came to order in the afternoon, they were all gone.

"Lulu, I think you should recruit some help." Wei Lingheng pointed at Li Qingping and others who were so busy outside that they wished they had time to spare.

"Yes, help me write a job recruitment notice and put it on the door tonight. Hire more people, then my parents will feel relieved." Li Lulu touched his chin and said firmly.

"Okay, then I'll get busy." Wei Lingheng hurried to the hall and stood at the cashier counter.

Li Xiaoyang is so busy that he is overwhelmed. The customers are all very friendly and they understand if he takes a slow pace, after all, his business is so good.

Finally, we finished our work, closed the shop, and had dinner. Those who needed to go home went home, and those who needed to stay stayed.

Today is even busier than when the business opened. Even with two aunts helping, they still can't handle it. Li Lulu is so tired that she can't even straighten her back. In the evening, she will sit aside and watch the frying meatballs. The ingredients are already prepared, so she just needs to put them in and stir them.

Seeing that Li Lulu was very tired, Wei Lingheng and Li Xiaoyang also took the initiative to work. Wei Lingheng fried the meatballs and Li Xiaoyang rolled them. Then Li Xiaoyang cut the pork tenderloin and pork belly, Wei Lingheng marinated them, and Li Lulu monitored.

Li Lulu nodded with satisfaction. It was great. Her little apprentice had completed his apprenticeship. Now she, an old aunt, could have a rest. Who made her body only ten years old? If her body was twenty years old, she wouldn't be so tired. She was so tired that she was too lazy to lift her head. She would never stand if she could sit.

Seeing that his sister was extremely tired, Li Xiaoyang finished his work and carried Li Lulu to the bedroom. Wei Lingheng fetched some water and came to the bedside. Li Lulu just wiped herself casually and then squirmed into the quilt like a maggot.

Go to sleep, have a good rest, and work hard to make money tomorrow.

Early in the morning, a new day began. Li Lulu rubbed her eyes, stretched, blinked, and looked at the corner. She was wondering why Wei Lingheng was gone. He was so diligent and got up so early.

She put on her clothes and looked down to see that the two boxes of sausages she had placed next to the bed last night were gone.

When we arrived at the kitchen, Li Qingping, Yue Xiangmei and two aunts from my great-grandfather's family were all there, and the dishes were all skewered and put on the shelf.

"Well... I got up late today and you guys are all busy, hehe..." It was a bit awkward. Li Lulu scratched the back of her hand helplessly.

Wei Lingheng stood up and wiped the water stains on his hands. "Lulu, I have posted the job opening notice. Someone should come to apply for the job today. I will call you when I see you."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister Qingqing."

Before leaving the kitchen, Wei Lingheng handed her an oil-paper bag and said, "Take it and eat it. I bought it for you this morning."

Wei Lingheng had never spent the thirty taels of silver that Li Lulu gave him before, but now he would buy some food and snacks for Li Lulu from time to time.

Li Lulu sat in front of the stove and lit a fire. She opened the box and saw that there were vegetable cakes inside. She ate one cake and put it in her arms. Then she supported her head with her hands and thought about how to recruit a few people.

There need to be at least two waiters. The big brother is in charge of the cashiering, and someone is needed to count the bamboo sticks. Although it sounds like an easy job, it is not easy at all. The big brother's hands cramped from counting so much.

Wei Lingheng is also uncertain, he should go home sooner or later! If you are too busy, just ask him to help.

Well... there are two aunts in the kitchen, one is frying skewers and the other is making spicy hot pot. We also need a dishwasher. Let's hire four people first. If there is not enough staff, we can deal with it later.

Li Lulu's thoughts drifted to the job search, when suddenly, she heard someone calling her, "Sister, sister, table number eight upstairs wants one serving of jelly and one serving of fried potatoes. Dad is too busy, please help."

"Okay, I heard you, brother. I'll be right here."

Li Lulu picked up a bowl of jelly and a portion of fried potatoes and went upstairs.

"Hey! Lulu, it's you! Working here?" An Yi was very surprised to see her.

"No"

Before Li Lulu finished speaking, Boss Tian said, "Mr. An, Miss Lulu is definitely not here to work. I guess she must be the boss."

"Boss Tian, ​​how did you know that?" An Yi asked in confusion.

"Hahaha... I didn't know this girl's name before. I only knew it when I heard you call her Lulu just now. Do you know the name of this store?" Tian Fengnian stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"I don't know. I didn't look closely. I thought it must be delicious because it was doing so well. Besides, it was you, Boss Tian, ​​who brought me here. You said there was a really delicious restaurant in town recently and you brought me here to try it." An Yi became angry as he spoke, with his mouth pouted.

"This is called Xiaolu Malatang. It should be named after Miss Lulu, right?" Tian Fengnian said, not caring whether An Yi was really angry or not.

"Ah! Is this true? Come on, Xiaolulu, talk to Brother An." An Yi is like a little kid. His emotions come and go quickly, so Tian Fengnian doesn't need to care whether he is angry or not.

"Yes, since uncle and brother An are here to eat, I will treat you today, so don't be polite to me."

After saying that, he ran downstairs and after a while brought a plate of delicious food, including fried ham and pork tenderloin. He was not stingy at all, it was a whole plate full of food, and both of them were full.

When they were about to leave, Li Lulu even sent them to the door.

"When I get back, I will tell you that Lulu opened a restaurant in Maple Leaf Town." An Yi smiled happily, his tone very excited.

"Is Brother Jinnian feeling better? I've been too busy these days and can't get away. I don't even have time to go see him." Li Lulu closed her eyelids, looking a little sad.

"It's okay, the young master won't be angry. Our young master is already well. Now he just needs to rest. I will tell him when the time comes, and maybe he will come to see you himself." An Yi explained truthfully.

"Okay, Brother An, Uncle Tian, ​​take care. Come back next time when you have time!" Li Lulu waved goodbye.

In the corner of the door, two figures, one big and one small, were looking at the store entrance.

Seeing Li Lulu walking over, the big figure turned around and was about to leave, but was held tightly by a pair of small hands.

"Is there anything you need?" Li Lulu walked towards them and said softly.

"Um, sister, do you still remember me?" The little figure was eager to know whether Li Lulu still remembered him.

"I remember, but I don't know your name." Li Lulu took out two cakes from her arms and handed them to the little beggar.

"Sister, my name is Xiaoliu. I am the sixth child and I am nine years old this year. This is the eldest child, everyone calls him Ada. He is sixteen years old this year. Thank you, sister, for the cake." Xiaoliu took the cake and was very happy.

"Xiaoliu, do you have something to talk to me about? Why are you hiding? Why don't you just come into the store and talk?" Li Lulu spoke gently.

"Sister, we are here to look for the owner of this store. Can you help ask if the boss is there and tell him that we will come to see him in the evening." Xiaoliu said in a low voice with his head down.

"Why do you have to come at night? Can't we do it now?" Li Lulu thought this request was very strange and really confusing.
