Started as a poor little girl

"We're opening tomorrow and I'm a little nervous." Qi Xiaotao is the youngest of the six and the most timid. Her teeth were chattering when she spoke.

"Xiao Tao, don't be afraid, the sisters are here! And you don't want to do it by yourself." Zhou Xianglan was the oldest among them, and she comforted Xiao Tao softly.

"Yes, we are all here, there is no need to be afraid." Xia Chuhe agreed.

"Well! Although you are right, I am still a little nervous." Qiu Xiaoju was also a little nervous.

"Don't worry. Boss Xiaolu is younger than all of us. Do you think she is nervous or scared when she runs such a big business? We have to relax. Business will definitely be booming tomorrow. You don't have time to think about these things. You are so busy that you don't have any thoughts."

Chu Xinyue was not nervous at all, she was actually looking forward to it! She wondered if the cakes they made would be sold out.

"Sister, sister, do you think if we make so many cakes, will they be sold out tomorrow?"

Chu Xinyue was still very curious, so she brought it up to help them distract themselves from other trivial matters.

"I think it will definitely sell out." Qi Xiaotao is very confident. She heard from Brother Ada that customers over there always ask when the shop here will open.

"I think so too. After all, who is Boss Xiaolu? She is the most powerful girl in our Maple Leaf Town." Zhen Li felt that she would definitely be sold out, as Boss Xiaolu was her idol.

"I feel so too"

"That's right. Boss Xiaolu is so good, it will definitely be a big seller."

"Yeah, I'm sure. Go to bed. It's getting late. We'll know tomorrow."

They were all tired and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, the opening day of the new store finally arrived. The sun rose from the east. As the door opened, the fragrance of pastries wafted out, attracting passers-by.

The sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers blasted, resounding through the sky, and the smoke from the firecrackers gradually dissipated.

Li Lulu was standing at the door with a table in front of her. On the table were some pastries cut into small pieces for customers to try. She didn't even need to introduce the store in detail before a group of people flocked into the store.

"The new store is opening today. New pastries and drinks are limited. First come, first served, while stocks last."

After Li Lulu finished speaking, the whole audience burst into warm applause. Those who entered the shop late didn't get to grab the pastries they wanted to eat, and could only taste a little from the tasting basket.

These people decided to come earlier tomorrow. If they didn’t get the limited edition pastries today, they would definitely get them tomorrow.

Some regular customers of the Malatang shop came to Li Lulu to complain.

"Boss Xiaolu, your business is so good! I've always wanted to buy that cake, but I heard that there are several flavors of it today, and I couldn't get any of them."

Liu Ruyu complained that she just got up a little late, but which rich lady didn't get up as late as her?

"That's right, Sister Ruyu is right. I got up a little late today and I really couldn't even drink the hot soup." Qi Sisi agreed, also looking unhappy.

She also wanted to eat that cake, and she also liked that pudding and double skin milk, but all the ones she liked were sold out, so she didn't even get to try them.

Gu Yanshu also looked regretful. It was a pity that she came from the county, but she didn't get to eat anything she liked. "Boss Xiaolu, can't you prepare more? We came from far away and didn't get to eat anything."

"Don't worry, dear customers like you can make reservations here, but the price is a little bit higher."

Li Lulu knew that these rich young ladies would definitely get to eat what they wanted, so she had already thought of an excuse.

"Really? Then I want it." As soon as Gu Yanshu opened his mouth, several people followed him and asked for it.

"I also want"

"I also want"

"Okay, okay, uncle, quickly register what they want."

Li Lulu quickly asked her uncle to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write it down quickly, and then spoke to the guests calmly.

"Dear guests, remember to ask the servants to come and pick it up tomorrow. I will ask my uncle to write a receipt for you later. You can just take it and come and pick it up."

This must be made clear. If one of them calls out someone else's name and takes the things away, that would be too perfunctory and it would easily lead to mistakes.

So Li Lulu not only got the credentials, but also the seal. The characters are easy to imitate, but the seal cannot be imitated.

We received a total of 500 pre-orders, all of which were limited-purchase items.

"Lulu, you have a really good business mind."

After the guests left, Wu Qingshu praised, "This is really a good plan!" Those who have a little money on hand will come to make reservations, and those who are not well-off will just try it out and will not buy more.

If we make too much of these limited edition pastries and don’t sell them all, they will go bad. This way we can solve the quality problem and make extra money. Why not do it?

Today, everyone in the family came to open the new shop, including Li Qingsong's family, who wanted to join in the fun.

The shop was so busy that people couldn't squeeze in, so they went to the backyard to chat. Although they couldn't help, they didn't cause any trouble either.

"Oh! Look at our Lu girl, she's been so busy. I was planning to come over to take a look, but now that I see Lu girl's business is doing well, I'm happy."

Zhou Xiaoshu sat on a stone bench under the ginkgo tree in the backyard, looking at the booming business in front. She was happy for Li Lulu, but she started crying while laughing. This little girl had finally made it and would no longer be hungry in the future.

Zhou Xiaoshu still remembers that when Lin Chuncao was in charge, Li Qingping's family wanted to buy a wife who had some flesh on her body, but now she is skinny and has to do all the physical work at home.

When little Li Lulu was still very young, she had to serve the elders at home and the lazy Li Zhenzhu's family. She was the little girl who did all the washing and cooking, and was not allowed to eat the meals after they were ready.

As she thought about it, Zhou Xiaoshu's tears began to flow without her realizing it.

"Aunt Shu, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?" Yue Xiangmei looked at Zhou Xiaoshu with concern, thinking that she was feeling unwell.

"Auntie, are you feeling unwell? Should we go see a doctor?"

Li Qingping was originally happy to see the booming business in the shop, but when he heard the noise, he turned around and looked at Aunt Shu.

"Old woman, what's wrong with you? Are you really feeling unwell?" Li Qingsong also looked worried.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just happy for our little girl Lu! Why are you crying unconsciously?"

Zhou Xiaoshu's smile was genuine and she didn't look like she was lying, so everyone felt relieved.

Li Lulu brought over a plate of dim sum and a few cups of milk tea, her eyes curved, "Come, everyone, have a try. These are some limited edition cakes that were specially reserved. Many customers complained because they didn't get any!"

"Come here, Lu girl, come and sit for a while. I haven't seen you take a break since this morning! Are you tired?"

Zhou Xiaoshu held Li Lulu's small hand. Although her old hand was a little scratchy due to the calluses, Li Lulu felt extremely safe and warm.

"It's okay. Who would complain about making money like this?"

After Li Lulu finished speaking, everyone who was listening to her bent over with laughter.

"See, I told you that our Lulu is a little money-grubber. As long as there's money to be made, she won't mind being tired."

"Aunt really understands me. Besides, who would complain about having too much money? I also want to build a holiday villa, so I have to make more money. I have to make a lot of money."

Li Lulu felt that this was not enough. If possible, she would like to open a few more chain stores, but she had no connections, which was really a headache.

"You must be hungry. I'll go cook."

"Second sister, let's go together! We are all busy now, with so many mouths to feed, one person can't handle it all."

A group of people stood up and went to the kitchen to help. Today they cooked in the small kitchen of the pastry shop. The kitchen for making pastries and cooking are separate. Because it is a bit small, they seldom cook in it.

Besides, it is more convenient to cook in a Malatang shop because everything is ready there.

After lunch, Li Lulu went to the shop and worked for a while. Before closing time, all the things were sold out, even the milk tea.

We were almost too busy collecting the money, and it was only after Wu Qingshu's help that we solved the problem. Fortunately, the sisters who bought things from the dental shop were taught to read by our nanny, so they were able to do all the small things like collecting the money.

"Xiyue, you are right. Business is really good today. I am too busy to handle all the cash collection." Zhen Li looked happy. She had never been so happy before.
