Started as a poor little girl

"Xiaowu, Xiaoliu, keep an eye on your brothers and sisters and don't cause trouble for Sister Qingqing. Be good, okay?" Ah Da felt a little worried when he saw these little kids and gave them a few words of advice.

Si Ya was watching Li Lulu cooking and learning very seriously.

"Okay, let's wait until next time! I'm hosting a welcoming banquet for my friends today. Sister Si Ya will definitely teach you next time, okay?" Li Lulu didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm for learning, so she thought about teaching her next time. It wasn't a big deal anyway.

This cooking technique is no secret, she also learned it on the Internet.

Add scallions and ginger to the chopped ribs and blanch them in water. When the water boils, remove the foam, remove the ribs and rinse them with cold water. Put the ribs into the pot, add a ladle of water, soy sauce, bay leaves, ginger, cinnamon, a handful of scallions, and a few pieces of dried chilies, and simmer over low heat until the sauce is reduced.

"Hey! Lulu, you're cooking! I come at an inopportune time. The master asked me to help." An Yi strode into the kitchen and sniffed the smell.

"Hmm... Lulu's cooking is great, it smells so good!"

"Go away... go away. I don't want to argue with you now." Li Lulu chased An Yi away while cooking.

"Lu Lu is so cruel! He actually chased me away. I'm so sad!" An Yi pretended to be sad with a mean look on his face.

"Okay, Anyi, don't bother Lulu. I asked you to help me but you're making trouble here!" Xiao Jinnian walked into the kitchen, feeling a little out of place like an immortal falling into the mortal world.

"I'm sorry, we were busy in the kitchen and didn't hear you coming. We are so sorry for neglecting our guests."

Li Xiaoyang scratched his head embarrassedly and kept apologizing, fearing that he would neglect his sister's benefactor.

"It's okay, there's no need to be neglectful. You cooked so many dishes just to entertain us. I don't know how to thank you. I bought some gifts for you in the yard outside. I hope you like them." Xiao Jinnian's tone was still gentle.

"Brother Jinnian, why are you so polite? You even bought something for me. It's a waste of money."

Li Lulu was frying fish while chatting with Xiao Jinnian. The fish was fried until both sides were golden brown. She added a ladle of water, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar and salt and stewed it.

"It's nothing to spend money on. We are all family. Meeting each other is fate, so don't say those strange words."

Xiao Jinnian smelled the fragrance of the dishes and was already looking forward to how they would taste.

"Brother, take the guests to the living room and sit down. The food will be ready soon." Li Lulu asked Li Xiaoyang to take the guests to the front hall and sit down. The food will be ready soon.

"Xiaowu and Xiaoliu, take these little kids to the front hall and wait. Remember to wash your hands so they can eat later." He turned around and reminded Xiaowu and Xiaoliu again.

After giving the order, A Da put the stews in the two pots into basins and brought them to the table one by one, including a braised herring, a braised spareribs, a nourishing chicken soup, and two side dishes. Li Lulu finally washed her hands with satisfaction and went to the front hall to eat.

An Yi had been craving for food for a long time, so it was time to eat. He picked up a piece of braised spareribs and took a bite. The meat and bones separated, and the aroma of the sauce filled the air. It was so delicious that he swallowed his tongue.

"Lulu, this is so delicious!" An Yi stuffed another piece of fish into his mouth and spoke unclearly.

Xiao Jinnian looked at An Yi and glared at him. An Yi immediately shut up and ate his meal obediently.

"Come on, Brother Jinnian, have a bowl of chicken soup." Li Lulu picked up a small bowl and filled a bowl of chicken soup for Xiao Jinnian.

"Thank you, Lulu. You've worked hard today." Xiao Jinnian carefully took the chicken soup, scooped a spoonful into his mouth to taste it.

It's delicious, with a hint of sweetness, and the flavor is also very light, with a slight medicinal smell, but it doesn't affect the taste at all.

"Sister Xiaolu, you are so virtuous. If anyone marries you in the future, it will be so happy. He will have delicious meals every day." Xiaoliu was gnawing on the ribs. He felt that he was so happy now.

A few unfriendly looks made Xiaoliu shudder.

"Brother, don't do this. You're scaring Xiaoliu. I was just talking, and I'm still young. It won't hurt me to talk like that."

Only after Li Lulu finished speaking did Li Xiaoyang and Li Xiaoguang retract their cold gazes. Two other people also had cold looks for a moment, but they suppressed them before anyone noticed.

"Yes, Brother Xiaoyang, you think too much. How old is Lulu?" Wei Lingheng forced a smile and said lightly.

"Okay, okay, today is a happy day. Why are you angry? I'm going to be angry too." Li Lulu pouted, crossed her arms across her chest, and said pretending to be angry.

"Okay, okay, Lulu, calm down. Just do not be angry for my sake!" Xiao Jinnian said in a gentle voice.

"Okay, I'm not angry. Brother Jinnian, let's eat. Is the food to your liking?"

"Well, it's delicious. I wonder when I can eat Lulu's cooking next time." Xiao Jinnian frowned, feeling a little disappointed. What should he do if he doesn't want to leave now?

After eating, Ada and Erxiao cleaned up the mess, while Li Xiaoyang and Li Xiaoguang put the gifts into the house to prevent them from getting wet by the snow.

Li Lulu, Wei Lingheng and others chatted with Xiao Jinnian in the lobby. After a while, Xiao Jinnian showed signs of fatigue, so he said goodbye and left and returned to the inn.

After they left, Li Lulu was not idle either. She went back to her room, went into the space and prepared some gifts, which she would give to Xiao Jinnian and the others tomorrow.

She put the selected items into a wooden box. It took her a long time to find three of them after she mobilized the little kids to search around the store. Then she went to the kitchen to fill a can of chili sauce and put it aside.

Li Lulu sorted them and put them aside, and Wei Lingheng helped put them into boxes. The two of them worked together and quickly packed up.

"Wei Lingheng, this red bean mochi is delicious, you should try it." Li Lulu held a mochi in her little hand and handed it to Wei Lingheng's mouth.

Wei Lingheng felt a little embarrassed. He was already thirteen years old, so why would he need someone younger than him to feed him?

I couldn't resist Li Lulu and took a bite. The soft, sweet red beans filled my mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

Wei Lingheng nodded and had to admit, it was really delicious.

"This is specially for you. Take it. Just like before, remember to burn the wrapping paper after eating." Li Lulu gave both boxes of mochi to Wei Lingheng.

The next day, Li Lulu got up very early, and Wei Lingheng helped Li Lulu carry her things to the Osmanthus Inn.

"Lulu, Lulu, we are here."

There was still a long way to go, and An Yi was waving her hands and jumping around, as if she was afraid that Li Lulu couldn't see her.

"Wei Lingheng, do you think An Yi has some problems with his brain?" Li Lulu frowned and complained about An Yi to Wei Lingheng.

Wei Lingheng looked at An Yi in the distance and nodded, "I think there might be a little bit."

"Lulu, hurry up, we are here." An Yi jumped and waved his hands, his movements looked very funny.

It's a bit like the one that Li Lulu saw dancing on the bus in her previous video. It looks very interesting.

"Here we go, Brother Anyi, did you eat too much this morning? Are you jumping around to help digest your food?"

"Lu Lu, you can't be less vicious. Why does such a cute little fairy have a mouth?" An Yi gritted his teeth, and his teeth were grinding.

"Lululu...what's the matter? You just have a long mouth." Li Lulu stuck out her tongue and started arguing with An Yi again.

"Okay, okay, you two stop making trouble. Lulu, thank you for coming to see me off." Xiao Jinnian asked An Yi to be quiet and thanked Li Lulu.

"Here! These things are for you, Brother Jinnian. There are food. If you are hungry and can't find an inn, just eat something to fill your stomach." Li Lulu handed a big box in her hand to Xiao Jinnian.

The subordinate was about to take the things, but Xiao Jinnian asked him to step back and he took it himself.

"Brother An, why don't you quickly take what's in my sister Qingqing's hands? You're tiring her out. I won't treat you to delicious food next time." Li Lulu put her hands on her hips, her nose facing the sky, looking very proud.

"Okay, my aunt! Please don't be angry, I still want to eat what you cook." An Yi took the things in Wei Lingheng's hand swiftly.

"Okay, I'm very satisfied." Li Lulu nodded with satisfaction.

"Lulu, come here for a moment."

Xiao Jinnian handed the box in his hand to An Yi and pulled Li Lulu into the carriage.

"Lulu, take this. If you have the chance to come to the capital, come to Prince Jin's mansion to find me."

Xiao Jinnian took off the jade pendant from his waist. It was a piece of Hetian jade as big as Li Lulu's palm. It was engraved with a dragon flying in the clouds, and the word "Jin" was engraved on the back.

"Okay Lulu, I have to go back. I'll come see you when I have time."

Li Lulu nodded woodenly, then got off the carriage very stiffly.
