Started as a poor little girl

Chapter 56: Uncle's Brain Trust is Back

During the past half month, Li Lulu taught Chu Xinyue and the others how to make many kinds of pastries. Chu Xinyue and Zhou Xianglan were the most talented. They learned quickly and were able to apply what they had learned to other situations. They had developed many new flavors.

These past two days, customers at the Malatang shop have been urging the new shop to open.

They hung up the sign at the door this afternoon, and the name is Little Deer Dim Sum Shop.

There are two sets of three-layer lattice cabinets on both sides of the shop. The lattices are about half a meter wide and are placed against the wall. There is also a set in the center of the shop.

The innermost counter you see when you enter the door is not just a simple counter, it is filled with tools for making milk tea.

The straws and milk tea cups were specially customized in the shop. They are both made of bamboo and are not expensive.

The shop was set up and Li Lulu, the supplier, had also been arranged, so they were just waiting to open the next day.

In the afternoon, Li Lulu went out and saw several familiar figures.

The uncle that Li Lulu had been waiting for for a long time actually came. Li Lulu asked them to stay. There happened to be an empty room in the new shop, which was just enough for their family to live in.

Li Lulu led them into the yard of the new shop, feeling aggrieved. “Uncle, Lulu has been waiting for you for so long that the flowers have withered. Look, there are so many accounts, and I still have to deal with the things in the shop. I am exhausted, wuwuwu…”

Li Lulu had been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally her uncle's think tank came back. She was so moved that she cried.

Yue Haitang touched Li Lulu's face with a distressed look on her face and said, "Lulu has worked so hard. Look at her face, it looks so thin and tired."

"Sister Lulu, don't cry. Yuanyuan will give you some snacks." Wu Yuanyuan took out a piece of osmanthus cake from the bag that Li Lulu gave her.

Li Lulu pointed to the kitchen, where everyone was preparing cakes for tomorrow, otherwise it would be too late to make them now.

"Sister, please don't! I will take Yuanyuan to eat the most delicious cakes later!"

Li Lulu picked up Wu Yuanyuan and went into the kitchen. The table was filled with various pastries.

The pastries are placed in a basket made by Li Dashan. Li Lulu specially asked her grandfather to make a special bamboo basket. They are all square in shape. Putting the pastries in the basket makes it convenient to take them to the display cabinet. You can just take them over and put them in the cabinet. It is also easy to maintain.

"Yuanyuan, choose whatever you like to eat, anything is fine!" Li Lulu pointed to a table full of pastries and let Wu Yuanyuan choose.

Yue Haitang and Wu Qingshu also followed in. They were shocked to see the various kinds of cakes on the table. They had never seen these cakes before.

After Wu Yuanyuan picked out the cakes, Li Lulu put her down and turned to ask her aunt and uncle who had just walked in, "Aunt and uncle, you can pick your own cakes too. Don't be polite. They are all from your own family."

"Ah! No, no." Wu Qingshu quickly refused. He felt that he shouldn't eat these sweet cakes like a child.

"Thank you, Lulu. I won't be polite. I'm not like your uncle who has to pretend to be polite."

Yue Haitang picked out a cake she liked at the table, took a bite, and her face was filled with satisfaction. It was so delicious that she couldn't help but eat a few more.

Seeing what his wife did, Wu Qingshu also tried to take one to eat.

"Lulu, this is really delicious. I have never seen these snacks before. I didn't see so many kinds of cakes when I went to the county before taking the exam!"

Wu Qingshu exclaimed, wondering how his niece had hired such an excellent master.

"Lulu, you are really good at choosing a master. You really have a unique vision."

Li Lulu smiled but said nothing. Qiu Xiaoju, who heard their conversation, took over.

"You're wrong. It's not that the boss has a good eye, but that she taught us well. All these novelties were taught by boss Xiaolu. We can only make the common ones."

Wu Qingshu and Yue Haitang were shocked. They thought the cooks were skilled, but they had no idea that it was their niece who taught them.

"Everyone, you've worked hard. I'll cook a big meal to reward everyone later! Sister Xianglan, when you think the food is almost done, take everyone to the shop over there to eat!"

After saying that, Li Lulu carried Wu Yuanyuan out of the kitchen, arranged a room for their family, and let them rest there. She went back to find her brothers to buy groceries and cook. It was almost time for the Malatang shop to close, so both brothers were free.

"Lulu, your uncle is free now, you can actually bring the accounts over, and I should be able to get them ready for you tomorrow."

Wu Qingshu didn't have much to do. He usually just took his child to read books. Now that the child was running around with his niece, he had nothing to do. It was a good opportunity for him to look over the accounts and familiarize himself with them.

"Okay! Thank you, uncle. That's great. Thank you so much, my good uncle." Li Lulu's eyes lit up and she looked at her uncle with tears of gratitude.

"You naughty sister, you said I was a good second brother yesterday! Today you have a good uncle again, so you don't want to be a good second brother anymore, right?" Li Xiaoguang crossed his arms, looking unhappy.

"No way, isn't my uncle a good person? Can you, second brother, help me settle the accounts?" Li Lulu looked at him with a look of "If you think you can do it, then you do it."

"You are a bad sister. I won't play with you anymore. Humph! Yuanyuan, come on, Brother Xiaoguang will take you out to play."

Li Xiaoguang extended his evil claws to our innocent little dumpling Yuanyuan. Such a well-behaved little dumpling has always been well-behaved and obedient, unlike their Lulu.

"Brother Xiaoguang, Yuanyuan wants to play with Sister Lulu. Can she accompany you later?"

Although Yuanyuan refused, she was too polite. How could she be angry? Being angry was impossible.

Wu Yuanyuan was afraid that Brother Xiaoguang would be angry, so she quickly ran over, hugged his neck, kissed him on the face, and said softly:

"Brother Xiaoguang, Yuanyuan likes you very much, but now Yuanyuan wants to play with Sister Lulu. I'm sorry!"

"Okay, brother forgives you," he said softly to Xiaotuanzi, and turned his head to Li Lulu in a sarcastic tone, "Brother likes Yuanyuan the most, unlike a certain sister, who is not obedient or cute at all."

"Yes, yes, yes, so-and-so is not obedient or cute at all, but she will pay so-and-so!" Li Lulu also imitated Li Xiaoguang and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Li Xiaoguang stamped his feet in anger and had nothing to say. Li Xiaoyang, who had returned, took all the account books.

"See, the eldest brother is still the best. Needless to say, he knows to help his sister get the account book! Unlike someone who can only cry. Lilulu made a face at Li Xiaoguang.

"Okay, sister, don't play with your stupid second brother. It will easily lower your IQ. Go Yuanyuan and go buy groceries with brother Xiaoyang and sister Lulu."

Li Xiaoyang held a little child's hand and went out happily to buy groceries.

"Aunt, uncle, come over with Sister Xianglan and the others to have dinner later!" Li Lulu reminded them when they reached the door.

A few people went to the market and bought a big blue carp. Li Xiaoyang said that the little kids were greedy and wanted to eat it, so they bought two big pig's trotters.

"Sister, that's enough. There are some leftover vegetables in the shop today. Let's cook them in a pot. There are also some leftover fried skewers. There is enough to eat."

Business has been very good recently. Because of the free snacks, many people came, so they had a few more staff, so they prepared more.

"Okay, let's do as Big Brother says. It's a good opportunity for my aunt and the others to have a taste of our spicy hot pot."

Although we make Malatang at home, we rarely have Malatang for our employees’ meals. We basically just have some stir-fried dishes.

Yue Haitang was afraid that Li Lulu would be too busy, so she came to the Malatang shop early to help. With many people helping, Li Lulu quickly prepared a table full of delicious food.

Placed in the C position is Li Lulu's specialty, braised green carp, of which she bought more than 30 kilograms. Braised pig's trotters are placed on the side, and fried skewers and malatang are placed on the side.

Because there was help in cooking, the process was faster than expected, so Li Lulu went to the pastry shop herself to call for dinner.

"Uncle, Sister Xinyue, Sister Xianglan, Sister Xiaoju, Sister Chuhe, Sister Xiaoli, Sister Xiaotao, let's go, let's go to eat. It's not too late to finish it after dinner."

Because the kitchen was noisy, Li Lulu had to shout at the top of her lungs at the kitchen door so that her uncle in the house could just hear her.

A group of people went to the Malatang shop to eat. The line grew larger and larger day by day. The diners filled up a large table. Because the food was delicious, there was no leftovers every time, and this time was no exception.

After dinner, everyone went back to their work. Li Lulu also went to the pastry shop to help, and was busy until late at night.

In the yard of the snack shop, the nervous little girls washed up and went back to their room to rest.
