Started as a poor little girl

"Miss Lulu, there's no need to be so polite. We are not in the court now, so there's no need to perform formalities." Lu Bobai asked Li Lulu to sit down, and he personally poured her tea.

"Sir, this is a little gift from me. Please try it." Li Lulu put the pastries on the table.

Lu Bobai thought it was something valuable and was about to refuse, but when he heard it was pastries, he gladly accepted it. Their pastries were so delicious, and his wife and daughter were frequent guests at her home. Even without the jade pendant, he had to protect the girl well.

Otherwise, if his wife and daughter found out, they would skin him alive and turn his whole house upside down.

Lu Bobai and Li Lulu were chatting in the yard, saying that the matters concerning the shop would be dealt with later, and those who instigated the ruffians would be arrested, and that they would compensate Li Lulu for the recent losses in the shop later.

After talking about business, they talked about family matters. As soon as Lu Bobai mentioned his wife and daughter, he heard their voices.

"Daddy, daddy, I don't know who caused the pastry shop to be closed these days. My mother and I have no pastries to eat." Lu Ruochu pouted and shook Lu Bobai's arm, looking like a spoiled child.

Lu Bobai and Li Lulu had dazed looks on their faces. When Lu Ruochu realized that something seemed to be wrong, she turned around and saw a little girl sitting opposite her father. She originally thought that her father was chatting with the master, but who knew it was a little girl.

Hey! This little girl looks a little familiar. What's going on? She called out to Qi Yuechan who was still dawdling behind her, "Mom, come here quickly. Take a look. This little girl looks very familiar."

Qi Yuechan walked over slowly and sat on the stone bench. She was out of breath. Her daughter had dragged her to buy some cakes, but the store was closed today and she had made a wasted trip.

She was thirsty, so she poured herself a cup of tea and then turned to look at the little girl her daughter was talking about.

"Miss Xiaolu, it's you! Did something serious really happen in the shop? Why did you come to see our master?"

Qi Yuechan had a worried look on her face. She really liked this clever little girl. The food she cooked was delicious. As a regular customer, she often received small gifts, sometimes limited edition cakes, sometimes some fried skewers, and there were many varieties.

The daughter often goes to eat Malatang. When the pastry shop opened, she didn't go out every day. Qi Yuechan bought some and brought them home. After her daughter had tasted it, she wanted to eat it every day. There are so many varieties that she would never get tired of eating it every day.

"It's nothing. The county magistrate has helped me solve it. We will be able to open for business as usual tomorrow, and the ordered cakes will be delivered normally. You can go and get them with peace of mind."

The pastry shop didn't suffer much loss, but the spicy hot pot shop suffered a relatively large loss.

"Mom, who do you think this sister is? Is she the boss Xiaolu? Is she so young?" Lu Ruochu couldn't believe that her favorite shop was actually opened by such a young girl.

Who knows how she feels now? She feels so useless that even a little girl like this is better than her.

I remember that when the Little Deer Pastry Shop opened, she locked herself in the room to practice needlework. She practiced for a month, but the finished product was so embroidered that you couldn't even tell what it was.

Before that, she learned to cook, but she was not very good at it. Every time the food was either burnt or too salty. She didn't want to eat it herself because she felt it was a waste.

She gave the food she cooked to the big yellow dog and the big black dog at the door. After they finished eating, they spit bubbles and ran away when they saw her.

I don’t know if it was just the two dogs and all the dogs on the street, but all the dogs on the street avoided Lu Ruochu when they saw him. Some of them that didn’t run away lay on the ground whimpering, as if begging for mercy.

"Sister Xiaolu, can I call you that?"

"Sure, hello, sister, my name is Li Lulu." Li Lulu introduced herself first.

Lu Ruochu was very happy. She liked this sister. "Sister Xiaolu, my name is Lu Ruochu. You can call me Sister Ruochu."

Seeing his daughter like this, Lu Bobai nodded with relief. Now that his daughter was making friends with this lady, she would definitely not go to Prince Jin to complain about them.

Lu Ruochu pulled Li Lulu to accompany him into the house to chat, leaving the two "lonely old people" looking at each other in the yard. The two smiled at each other. Their girl was just like that, but she was simple and straightforward, and many ladies from wealthy families were unwilling to play with her.

They actually hope that Li Lulu can become good friends with their daughter! That way she won't be lonely.

Lu Ruochu asked someone to prepare some tea and cakes, and she had a very enjoyable chat with Li Lulu. She was reluctant to let Li Lulu go back.

"Sister Ruochu, I have to go to the dental shop to buy some people who know martial arts to watch the shop. If the sisters who make pastries get hurt by bad guys, Sister Ruochu will not have any delicious pastries!"

When Lu Ruochu heard this, she was so angry that she put her hands on her hips in anger, not looking like a lady from a noble family at all. Li Lulu really liked her personality.

"Don't worry, little sister Xiaolu. Leave this matter to me. The guards at the dental clinic are not good enough, so I will go and find them for you. I will bring them to you when the time comes."

When Lu Ruochu saw Li Lulu with a dazed look on her face, she thought she was very cute. She pinched her chubby cheeks and said confidently, "Don't worry, I will do the job for you. I promise it will be done properly."

"Then I'll have to trouble Sister Ruchu." Li Lulu liked this sister more and more. She was beautiful and a rich lady, but she didn't have any airs. What a good sister she was.

"It's not a problem, but Sister Xiaolu, don't forget to promise me that you would teach me how to cook."

"Okay, I will definitely teach you. If Sister Chu is free, you can come to the shop to find me. If you can't find me, you can go to the shopkeeper and he will tell you where I am."

"Okay, then I'll take my sister back! It's getting late."

In fact, it was still early, and she hadn't even had dinner yet. She just wanted to go to Li Lulu's place to eat some delicious food. She had heard from the little kids at Malatang that their sister Xiaolu's cooking was the best, so she had to try it. She would feel uncomfortable if she didn't get to try it.

"Okay, let's go to the shop for dinner. Or why not invite the county magistrate and his wife to come along!"

Li Lulu felt that she should call them all over to eat something. After all, she couldn't always use Xiao Jinnian's authority to suppress others.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Mr. and Mrs. Lu Bobai walked in. They had always heard their daughter talk about how good Boss Xiaolu's cooking was, and today they could finally go and try it themselves.

"No need to invite us, we came here by ourselves." Lu Bobai smiled widely, without any official airs. Maybe his daughter took after him.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Xiaolu. You don't have to call us the county magistrate and his wife. Just call us uncle and aunt. We should be the same age as your parents."

Qi Yuechan's voice was gentle. She felt that since they were no longer strangers, there was no need to be so polite. She also felt uncomfortable listening to it.

"Okay, uncle and aunt." Li Lulu was not polite.

"My father's name is Lu Bobai and my mother's name is Qi Yuechan. It's so ugly to just call them uncle and aunt! You should say your names!"

Everyone in the room was amused by Lu Ruochu. He really just said what he wanted to say without fear of knowing other people's personalities. He even revealed his parents' names like that.

Li Lulu touched her chin and thought for a while. "Well, Sister Ruchu, I understand. How about calling them Uncle Bai and Aunt Yue?"

"I think it's okay, Daddy, Mommy, what do you think?"

The couple nodded. They thought it was good.

"Since you have no objection, I'll go to the shop with Sister Xiaolu first. How about you guys come over to eat later?" Lu Ruochu made clear arrangements for his parents.

"Okay, we'll listen to Ruchu." The couple answered at the same time.

"Let's go, little deer sister."

Lu Ruochu took Li Lulu's hand and went out, got on the carriage, and soon arrived at the shop door.

Li Lulu went to the vegetable market and bought a bunch of vegetables. She found out that not only the county magistrate's daughter was having dinner at home today, but also the county magistrate and his wife were coming to eat!

Everyone in the shop helped out, and Li Lulu was the chef. Since Li Lulu didn't need to cut the vegetables and only needed to cook, cooking was much faster.

I made a pot of drum skin, washed some pea tips and put them in to blanch, and had spicy and sour chicken offal, braised lion head, steamed sea bass, and stir-fried garlic spare ribs and meat. It looked like there were only a few dishes, but the portions were large and definitely enough to eat.

Lu Bobai and his wife had arrived a long time ago, chatting with Wu Qingshu and Yue Haitang! After all, they were the only two elders here, so they were the only ones to keep them company.

The food was served. Because Lu Bobai and his friends didn't pick up their chopsticks, the little kids just stared at the delicious dishes but didn't dare to eat. Lu Ruochu found it funny.
