Started as a poor little girl

Chapter 54 Buying a Shop

"Okay, okay, I was short-sighted and underestimated our Lulu."

He said he admitted his mistake, but his face was full of smiles. Even Wu Yuanyuan in his arms joined in the laughter. The whole family happily headed towards the Sugar Village.

In the Xiaolu Malatang shop on Guihua Street in Maple Leaf Town, Li Lulu first went to the dental clinic to find Boss Zhong.

"Oh! Boss Xiaolu is here. Come on, serve the tea." Zhong Fa welcomed Li Lulu into the house and told the waiter to serve tea.

"Boss Zhong, please don't be polite! Let's get down to business!" Li Lulu was too lazy to sit down. She had too many things to do.

"Alright, then Boss Xiaolu, come with me!"

Zhong Fa led Li Lulu back to Guihua Street. It just so happened that there was a shop diagonally opposite her shop that had gone out of business due to poor business and was in urgent need of being sold.

Li Lulu went in and took a look around. She was very satisfied. The only difference between the shop and her current malatang shop was that it had a second floor. The house was not small, and the yard at the back was also nice. There was even a ginkgo tree in the yard!

"Boss Zhong, please give us a straightforward price! We are all old customers, and we don't want to talk nonsense. Just give us the lowest price."

Li Lulu was too lazy to talk nonsense. She just didn’t want to bargain in modern times, so she liked to shop online.

"Since Mr. Xiaolu is so open, I will directly offer the price. The lowest price is one hundred and sixty taels. This shop is in a hurry to sell."

"Okay, let's go and handle the formalities. I know that you, Boss Zhong, are the most efficient."

"Hahaha, Boss Xiaolu still understands me."

Soon, the formalities were completed clearly, and the shop was bought. Although there were no free items inside, there was no need to decorate it.

"Boss Zhong, do you know where the best toothbrush dealer in our town is?"

Although it seemed immoral, Li Lulu still asked, how could one ask the boss of a dental clinic to find a dental practitioner?

Zhong Fa was stunned for a moment, then said, "Boss Xiaolu wants to buy some assistants, we have some."

Zhong Fa would recommend the ones from his own shop first. If she doesn't like it, he can introduce her to a matchmaker. She can't be offended. Even if the deal fails, there is still a sense of righteousness. Zhong Fa knows this.

"Oh...! I think you misunderstood, Boss Zhong. If I were just looking for an ordinary guy, I would definitely go to your place, but I'm looking for a girl with skills. If you have any, go and take a look."

Anyway, Li Lulu is not picky about places, but she is picking about talents!

"Oh! So that's how it is! But there are no matchmakers in our town. They are only found in the counties and the capital." Zhong Fa explained.

"Do you have any girls who can cook? It would be best if she can make good snacks."

Zhong Fa paused and said, "Yes, although we are a dental clinic in town, because there are some rich people in our town who know how to enjoy life, we specially hired a nanny to teach some maids etiquette and cooking skills. Although they are not the best, they should be good enough."

"Then go and have a look!"

Zhong Fa took Li Lulu to the innermost yard behind the shop, where they saw a burly-looking woman training the girls to cook. She looked very kind, and when she saw Boss Zhong coming, she quickly came over to say hello.

"Oh! Someone is here to pick a girl today!" The nanny looked at the little girl next to Zhong Fa, and then looked behind Zhong Fa.

"They adopted another little girl? Why is she so little? Which evil-hearted parents sold their child again?"

The nanny was very angry. Most of the girls sent here were sold by their families because they favored boys over girls, so she couldn't stand this.

When Zhong Fa was about to explain, Li Lulu spoke first.

"Aunt, you may have misunderstood. I am here to see the girls you are training. If they meet my requirements, I will take them all." Li Lulu looked at the six girls. They were all very pretty. How could their families be so cruel to abandon them here?

But it is better to sell it to a tooth shop than to those brothels. At least those who are sold here will be used as maids. If they are lucky, they can even become concubines.

"Yes, this girl is an old customer of ours. She just bought a shop today and needs some help, so I brought her here to pick people. You guys should perform well! Boss Xiaolu is famous in our Maple Leaf Town."

Zhong Fa was not exaggerating. The Xiaolu Malatang was not only famous in the town, but also in the county and even in the capital. There were many wealthy people who came here because of its reputation.

"Boss Xiaolu? Are you...you...you...the Xiaolu from Xiaolu Malatang?" the nanny asked uncertainly.

"Yes, I'm planning to open a new shop and I need people who can make pastries. Could you please let them show their skills?"

"Did you hear that? Go make some snacks and let Boss Xiaolu come and see your craftsmanship."

The nanny is very proud. None of the girls under her are bad. She is very confident.

The girls were stunned at first, because they knew this Xiaolu Malatang very well. Their nanny often brought some for them, and it was delicious.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and make some pastries."

I came back to my senses after hearing the nanny's call and quickly went to the kitchen to make pastries.

Li Lulu and the others sat by and watched them make the snacks, which were ready in a short while.

Li Lulu tasted them one by one and nodded with satisfaction, "Boss Zhong, I won't waste any more words. I'll take them all."

"Okay, take them all for eighty taels." Zhong Fa didn't waste any words. These talented girls were sold at a higher price.

Li Lulu didn't waste any words and handed the silver to Zhong Fa. The nanny and the girls hadn't reacted yet.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and follow Boss Xiaolu." Zhong Fa looked at those dazed people and urged them.

Nanny reacted and quickly pushed the girls to Li Lulu's side. "Hurry, thank Boss Xiaolu."

"Thank you, Mr. Xiaolu." The six girls said in unison, and then turned to thank Zhong Fa and the nanny. "Thank you, Mr. Zhong and the nanny for taking us in and taking care of us. Thank you."

"Okay, okay, go and pack up, hurry up! Don't keep Boss Xiaolu waiting too long." Zhong Fa waved his hand, urging them to pack up quickly.

"Listen to Boss Zhong and clean up quickly. Boss Xiaolu is a good boss, so you have to be careful when doing things." The nanny did not forget to give them a few instructions.

She was very happy that these girls she had carefully trained had a good boss. She knew Boss Xiaolu. The group of beggars in the Malatang shop were evidence that she was an excellent boss.

It was almost dark when Li Lulu brought them back. Li Xiaoyang was so worried that he almost went out to look for his sister.

Li Xiaoyang took his younger brother to look for his younger sister, and just in time they saw his younger sister coming back, followed by a few girls about fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Sister, you're finally back. I was so worried. It's almost dark and you haven't come back yet. If mother knew about this, my brother and I would be in big trouble."

Li Xiaoguang didn't care whether there was anyone around him or not, he had to complain to his sister a few times to feel better.

The girls following Li Lulu couldn't help but burst out laughing, mainly because Li Xiaoguang was so funny and what he said was a little amusing.

"Second brother, I'm back. Let's go back and eat. I'm hungry." Li Lulu talked to Li Xiaoguang while asking those behind to follow her.

After returning to the shop and having dinner, Li Lulu asked her two brothers and a few newly bought girls to clean the new shop.

It’s not that Li Lulu is too impatient, but if she doesn’t clean up, these girls will have no place to live.

This new shop is quite clean. It doesn’t require much tidying and it is quickly cleaned up.

"Big brother, second brother, can you help bring some quilts over? Once the beds are made, these sisters can rest here."

After Li Lulu saw that everything was clean, she quickly asked her two brothers to bring some quilts and other things over.

While Li Lulu was cleaning, she went to the yard alone and got some quilts from the space. She didn't need to take much, as they were enough.

"Sisters, let me introduce myself first. My name is Li Lulu. I am eleven years old, so I should be younger than all of you."

Li Lulu saw that her brothers had left, so she asked the sisters their names. Otherwise, would she still call them "that one" or "that one"?

"My name is Chu Xinyue, and I'm fourteen years old."

"My name is Zhou Xianglan, and I'm fifteen years old."

"My name is Qiu Xiaoju, I am fifteen years old"

"My name is Xia Chuhe, I am sixteen years old"

"My name is Zhen Li, I am sixteen years old"

"My name is Qi Xiaotao, I am fourteen years old"

"Okay, I'll remember. You will live in this shop from now on. Tomorrow, I will teach you how to make our shop's cakes and drinks. You should have a good rest tonight, and we will eat at the Malatang shop over there from now on."

Li Lulu told them about the next plan and explained everything that needed to be explained.

"Lulu, everything is done. The bed is made." Li Xiaoguang looked like he was about to praise me.

"Okay, thank you brother, you are so nice." Li Lulu praised with an expression that said you are awesome.
