In the evening, Yaru began to wait for Liuliu to come to dinner, but she didn't wait until the third watch. Aru had no choice but to go back to sleep.

Aru waited for five days in a row, but Liuliu never came. In the past few days, Yaru's welcome restaurant has opened.

The chef was recruited by Yaru in an advertisement, and in his thirties, Yaru introduced him to a few dishes, and the chef actually knew everything.

Due to the unique decoration pattern of the restaurant, the rich dishes, and the profit sales in the first three days, it has ushered in a lot of repeat customers. In just seven days, the Welcome Restaurant earned nearly 1,000 taels of silver.

Because it had just opened, Yaru brought Xiao Jiahui to the restaurant, let Piaohong and Orange Hong watch, and took Peach and Yanhong to change into men's clothes to help inside, because there was no suitable shopkeeper, Yaru temporarily served as the first person, Peach and Yanhong and Sang Wentao should be the young guys of the restaurant first. plus the two young guys that the restaurant has recruited now. So although a few people are also busy hitting the back of the head, they can still handle it.

Yaru was busy enough, and temporarily put down the matter of Li Luoming and Liuliu during the day. Now the restaurant is still recruiting, as long as she passes this stage of opening and recruits a few more people, she can pull out her hand to find Li Luoming.

Besides, Li Luoming is here, he is worried that he can't find a buddy, and Liuliu came to him again. But this time he didn't come alone, he was followed by Ma Zhong.

On the way back, he told Ma Zhong that he had recognized an elder brother, and asked Ma Zhong to see if there was still a shortage of manpower at home, and he wanted to take Li Luoming home.

Ma Zhong felt that this was not a difficult thing to do, so he found a job in the rice shop of Liuliu's house.

He hadn't seen Li Luoming for a day, and as soon as he saw Li Luoming, he hugged Li Luoming and shouted affectionately: "Brother Luoming, I'm coming to you, do you think I don't want me?"

Li Luoming looked at him, then looked at Ma Zhong behind him, touched his head and said with a smile: "Liuliu, why don't you stay at home well, what are you doing when you come out again?"

Liuliu smiled and said, "Aren't you and I friends in trouble? How can I throw you down when I leave? No, I'll come to you, Uncle Ma asked you to go to my rice shop to be a buddy." ”

Li Luoming looked at this Liuliu, who was three years younger than him, his eyes were a little moist, and his heart was very moved, he thought that Liuliu would not come back to find him when he left. Unexpectedly, Liuliu did not forget him.

He looked at Ma Zhong, and Ma Zhong nodded at him and said, "Master Li, since my young master can't let you go, you can help in our owner's rice shop first." Our lord will be back in a few days, and I will tell him again. ”

Liuliu craned his neck, his two big eyes flickered with hope and looked at him, and his two little hands tugged at one of his arms and said, "Brother Ming, you go and do it first, and when my father comes back, I ask him to let you study with me." You'll just say yes, okay?"

Li Luoming said gently: "Liuliu, thank you for being so good to Brother Ming, I am already very happy and grateful that I can go to work in your rice shop, then dare to think about it again." ”

Ma Zhong was not very interested in this friend of Liuliuzhi, but what his little master wanted to do, he couldn't disobey this little ancestor. I was afraid that he would run again and find it, so I came with him. But now after listening to this young man's words, he couldn't help but nod, and praised in his heart, this is a measured child, although the little young master is young, but his vision is not bad.

In this way, Li Luoming went to the rice shop of Liuliu and became a young man.

After half a month of busyness, the people at the Welcome Restaurant have recruited enough one after another. It's just that there is still a shopkeeper who satisfies Yaru. There is no way, Yaru can't be here every day, she can only stay in the restaurant for a while, take Sang Wentao with her, and she really can't find a suitable person for the shopkeeper in the future, so she has to hand over the restaurant to Sang Wentao.

At noon that day, Yaru was settling accounts at the counter, and saw a group of people hugging in front of him, and Sang Wentao hurriedly greeted him warmly.

Daddy sits here, this screen is good-looking, Sang Wentao is happy, and there has never been a guest who chooses a seat because the screen is good-looking, this little customer is the first.

Yaru raised her head when she heard the movement, and she was overjoyed, isn't this the child who patronizes her kitchen every night?

So she waved to Sang Wentao, and Sang Wentao hurried over after arranging that there to a guy.

Yaru whispered a few words to him, Sang Wentao was stunned at first, and then he nodded happily and said to Yaru: "Madam, look at Haole, I will personally entertain this table." ”

After the dishes were all served, Sang Wentao brought two more dishes, a fried green bamboo shoots with meat and a sweet and sour pork ribs. Then he said to a man with a lofty spirit: "This is what our host gave to the little master." ”

Liuliu rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Daddy, eat it, this is what Ru'er rewarded me, it must be very delicious." ”

Sang Wentao listened to it next to him, his eyes were raised, and he said in his heart: Hey, this kid, which child is this so uneducated. Dare to call our wife's name. But when he heard the child's tone, it seemed as if he knew his wife very well. He wondered a little, and his wife didn't say how familiar he was with this child.

The arrogant man beside Liuliu said: "Liuliu, don't call other people's names, it's impolite, call someone else's shopkeeper." ”

"It's okay, Ru'er, she's fine, the food at home is delicious. Liuliu was chewing a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in his mouth, and said slurredly.

Sang Wentao next to him said respectfully: "Little boy, your status is noble, you can often patronize and take care of the business of our restaurant, we are grateful, so let you call our shopkeeper so closely." ”

The man next to Liuliu hurriedly stood up and apologized to Sang Wentao and said, "Xiao'er is innocent and ignorant, please tell your shopkeeper to forgive Xiao'er." ”

Sang Wentao also returned the courtesy and said: "Please rest assured, our shopkeeper is a generous person, and she will definitely not worry about a child." ”

Liuliu next to him looked at the two of them politely there, as soon as he rolled his eyes and put down his chopsticks, he ran to Yaru on his feet, and said in a childish voice: "Hey, I said this brother, where is your shopkeeper?"

Yaru hadn't noticed what they were talking about just now. It's lunch time, and it's the time when there are the most guests. With Sang Wentao there to take care of her, she is also relieved. So Liuliu called her Ru'er, but she really didn't hear it.

Yaru raised her head to look at Liuliu, and a bright smile like a spring flower appeared on her face.

Liuliu was stunned for a moment when he saw this smile, and then he ran to the counter to look Yaru up and down, and then Liuliu smiled happily, he looked back at the guests in the hall of the restaurant, and asked mysteriously in a low voice: "You are not a brother, you are a sister, and you are played by Sister Guan." I guessed right, huh?"

Aru was amused by his mysterious little appearance, and the child looked like a very clever ghost elf. So she also lowered her voice and deliberately said mysteriously: "You guessed right, you tell me, is it your brother Ming who told you that my surname is Guan?"

Liuliu was stunned, he scratched his little head and asked suspiciously: "Sister Guan, how do you know that I am with Brother Ming?"

Yaru was happy: "You said it yourself." ”

Liuliu was even more confused: "When did you listen to me?"

Yaru was even happier and teased him: "You are eating chicken, and you are babbling, you have eaten all the chicken, and you have not left it for your brother Ming, and you still said that you want to eat fish." ”

Liuliu opened his small mouth into an O-shape, and he said with wide eyes, "You, you, you were looking at me from where I couldn't see at that time?"

Yaru flicked his little head: "Yes, later, you said that you wanted to eat fish, and the next day I prepared fish for you, and you took the bowl away." I prepared delicious food for both of you for several days, but you never came. ”

Liuliu is embarrassed this time, it turns out that Sister Guan has seen it all because of her dirty appearance, oops, this is too embarrassing. He pursed his lips and scratched his head again embarrassedly and smiled: "Hehe, Sister Guan, why didn't you come out at that time? I asked Brother Ming to look for you, but he just didn't go." ”

Aru knowingly asked, "Then why didn't he come?"

Liuliu said: "Brother Ming said that he was embarrassed to see you like that. Sister Guan, why do you want to pretend to be a man to manage the restaurant? Is it that your family does not recruit enough people to work? I'm going to call Brother Ming out of my rice shop and ask him to work for you. I'd better find another person in my rice shop. ”

At this time, I heard someone outside the counter: "Liuliu, why did you run into the counter." Come out quickly, don't mess with other people's shopkeepers. ”

Yaru looked up, and it turned out to be Liuliu's father, a handsome and tall man standing outside the counter.

Six-six stabbed and came out of the counter again. He said excitedly to his father's white little teeth: "Father, have you finished eating, after eating, hurry up and settle the bill so that we can go home and find Brother Ming." ”

Sang Wentao came over and said: "Sixty-six little boy, our shopkeeper will give you a free order today, and the money for this table will be counted in our shopkeeper's account." ”

Liuliu's father hurriedly said to Yaru: "Then how can you break the bank? Guan is the shopkeeper, the contemptible surname is Ma, the word is like the wind, and he is Liuliu's father." ”

Yaru said: "Mr. Ma, can I disturb you for a while, and move upstairs to Yayi for a cup of tea." ”

Liuliu hurriedly replied in place of his father: "Okay, okay, Daddy, let's go, let's go upstairs." I haven't eaten yet, so help me bring it upstairs. With that, he took his father's arm and went upstairs.

Ma Rufeng smiled helplessly at Yaru: "This kid has made me spoiled, and let the shopkeeper Guan laugh." ”

Yaru smiled as she led the way upstairs, "This kid is very good. ”

While a few people were talking, they came to an empty private room on the second floor. A few people sat down, Sang Fangtao came over to pour tea, and asked Xiao Er to move the food downstairs. In addition, I took a small snack for Liuliu alone.

Aru ordered some more good wine.

Yaru said: "Mr. Ma, I have this meal today to thank your father and son for taking in my brother Li Luoming, who is the son of one of my sisters, who was separated from me and met Ling Lang. If it weren't for Ling Lang, he might still have to live on the streets. ”

Ma Rufeng said: "I heard Liuliu say this, and Liuliu and Li Gongzi hit it off at first sight, and it was also their fate. Since he is the younger brother of the shopkeeper, then naturally I will have to send Li Gongzi back when I go back. ”

Liuliu hurriedly said: "Ru'er, can I often go to your house to eat, I think the dishes made at your house are very delicious." ”

Ma Rufeng was embarrassed, and he scolded Liuliu: "Liuliu, it's rude." ”

Liuliu stretched out his little tongue at him: "Sister Guan, my name is Sister Guan." ”

Ru'er also made him cry a little crying and laughing: "Liuliu, who did you learn such a name from?" In the future, if you don't want to call the shopkeeper Guan, just call me Sister Guan. It's okay if you don't call Aunt Guan. ”

Liuliu's eyes rolled: "What did Brother Ming call you?"

Yaru said gently, "Your brother Ming should call me Aunt Guan." ”

Liuliu said happily: "Okay, then I will follow Brother Ming, and I will call you Aunt Guan in the future." ”

Yaru said: "Liuliu, you can come to Aunt Guan's house whenever you want, as long as you have time." ”

Liuliu was very happy and lowered his head to concentrate on his small snack. Ma Rufeng said embarrassedly: "Guan shopkeeper, Liuliu really makes me very casual." Her mother went early, her stepmother didn't care much about him, and I wasn't always at home. The child is like a foal. ”

Liuliu interjected: "Aunt Guan, my father is a general, he is amazing." ”

Yaru's heart moved and asked, "May I ask General Ma, where are you doing things?"

Ma Rufeng said: "I am a Yangzhou garrison, but I went out on business some time ago, so I am not at home." If the shopkeeper has a useful place in the future, as long as he can help in the next place, he will not shirk. ”

Yaru really had this idea just now, you know, when a few of them came to Yangzhou, they couldn't do it on their own, and it would be best if they could find a relationship with officialdom. If they hadn't really met the deceitful people, a few of them would really not have been able to do it. This time, it can be seen from his speech and demeanor that Ma Rufeng should be a decent gentleman. Later, in the territory of Yangzhou, with Ma Rufeng, it can be regarded as finding a foil.

So Yaru hurriedly got up and bowed deeply to Ma Rufeng, then thank General Ma. ”
