The first step to a rich country is to get rich first and then get richer

Seeing the shopkeeper, Chen Tian stood up from the stool and walked towards him.

"Brother Ye, this little girl next to me wants to see you for something. She is the one who bought your chicken feet."

The shopkeeper was somewhat dissatisfied at first, and was surprised to hear what Chen Tian said.

"It was this little girl who bought my chicken feet. Little girl, what do you want from me today?"

"Uncle, let's find a quiet place to talk."

Lan Ning raised her head and looked at the man who was much taller than her.

The shopkeeper lost his patience when he heard Lan Ning's words.

"Third brother, I have too many worries recently, so don't bring these little girls to bother me. You can't follow her in her mischief."

"Brother Ye, I..."

Chen Tian wanted to explain himself, but before he could say anything, the little guy next to him spoke again.

"Uncle, my grandma asked me to come to you. I have a way to make your business better."

"Since it was your grandma who asked you to find me, why didn't your grandma come to find me herself instead of letting you come."

Shopkeeper Ye's emotions did not ease at all because of Lan Ning's words. He just thought that there was no way that the grandmother would let such a young child come to see him, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, alone.

Although his restaurant business is not very good now, his restaurant is not small. An adult would not dare to come to him and make such big talk, saying that there are ways to make his business better, let alone a child who is only three or four years old.

"Uncle Ye, I have nothing to do right now anyway, so why don't you try to believe me? If what I said is successful, your restaurant's business will improve. If what I said is not successful, you won't suffer any loss."

"Brother Ye, you should believe in Lan, she might be able to do it. A little girl brought her brothers, sisters and grandmother to the county town to do business and earn money to support the family, but they ran into trouble, so now they can no longer run their stall."

Shopkeeper Ye looked at his good brother whom he had known for many years and raised his hand to rub his brow.

"Well, kid, just play around for once."

This is considered as consent.

Lan Ning was very happy and asked Manager Ye to lend him his kitchen.

"Okay, Xiaowu, take her to the kitchen."

"Uncle Ye, just ask someone to stay in the kitchen to help me light the fire."

Lan Ning took two steps and suddenly remembered that he had to make money from this dish, and he didn't want the people in the kitchen to learn his skills, so he quickly turned around and asked Manager Ye for help.

"Whatever she says."

"Okay, shopkeeper."

Xiao Wu responded and took Lan Ning to the kitchen.

There were only three people in the kitchen, all of them were very thin. There was a pile of cabbages on the ground, and they were sorting them out from time to time.

Seeing Xiaowu coming, one of the men looked up and asked:

"What did you order?"

Xiao Wu shook his head.

"There are no customers. A little girl came and wanted to make something. Uncle Li, you guys go out first. Zhuzi will help him light the fire. Where is Zhuzi?"

The three people's eyes only now fell on the inconspicuous Lan Ning standing aside.

"she?"

Xiaowu nodded.

"Yes, the shopkeeper ordered me to do so."

"The pillar has gone to the toilet. The shopkeeper is really out of business. He is willing to try anything now. He even believes in ghosts and gods."

Isn't it just about ghosts and gods? What can such a little girl do? Perform magic?

Lan Ning was not dissatisfied with what these uncles said. After all, she was too young now, and nothing they said was convincing.

Even if a child as young as her tells a lie, others will think she is telling the truth because children don't lie.

The three chefs went out, but Zhuo, who was in charge of the fire, had not returned yet. Xiaowu also did not go into the kitchen. He did not know how to cook, so he could not help much even if he went in.

Lan Ning walked in and looked around, wanting to see what ingredients were available so that he could decide what dish to cook later.

Because they were so poor, even though she had traveled through time four years ago, she had no idea what kind of food this dynasty had.

I walked around the kitchen and found fish, chicken, tofu, cabbage, leeks, and radishes.

The variety of dishes is very limited.

However, although there are few types of dishes, the types of condiments are not too few. Except for the lack of chili peppers, the rest can be said to be very complete. So she is also very selective in cooking.

Lan Ning prepared two dishes, one was spicy diced chicken and the other was braised fish.

But she really couldn't handle all these with her small body, so she had to go out and find help.

After walking around for a while, I finally found the three chefs in the lobby.

"Uncles, can you help me?"

A sweet voice sounded behind the three of them. Turning around, they saw that it was the little guy from before.

The three of them turned their heads indifferently and continued drinking tea.

"I'm not free right now. I can't help you."

"Oh~ okay."

If these people didn't help, would she not be able to find help? She just didn't believe it.

When she returned to the kitchen, she saw a boy who was probably about fifteen or sixteen years old standing inside. When he saw her come in, he looked confused.

"This is the kitchen. Children, you are not allowed to play here. It is too dangerous."

Lan Ning's eyes rolled around and he suddenly thought of something.

"Are you Brother Zhuzi?"

"Uh?"

The boy was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, I am the pillar."

"The shopkeeper uncle asked you to help me. The other chef uncles were called out by the shopkeeper uncle, leaving only you."

"I'll help you?"

Zhuzi pointed at himself and then at Lan Ning.

"What can I do for you? What can you do?"

The implication is that he doesn't know anything, and since she is so young, she knows even less.

Lan Ning raised the corners of his mouth and smiled sweetly.

“Can you handle fish and butcher chickens?”

Zhuzi looked at the chicken and fish behind him and nodded.

"Yes, I usually help Uncle Li and the others deal with it."

Lanning pulled the post over to the killed rooster.

"Brother Zhuzi, please help me cut this chicken into small pieces. It's so small that the head, legs and wings all need to be cut off."

Lan Ning raised his index finger and thumb and measured a tiny distance between them, indicating that the chicken that would be slaughtered later would be a very small piece.

"so small?"

Zhuzi was about to refuse. Normally, they never butchered the chicken so small when cooking. Moreover, they also had to put in the head and chicken legs. How could they eat it and cook it so small?

But then he remembered that the child said the shopkeeper asked him to help her. The simple-minded Zhuzi thought about it and nodded.

"Ok."

Although Zhuzi is not very old, he has very nimble hands and can cut with the knife in an instant.

First, divide the chicken into four, then cut it into large pieces, and then divide it into small pieces.

While Zhuzi was busy, Lan Ning was not idle either. He picked up a handful of leeks from the ground and sorted them out.

Some celery and green onions were also sorted.

I only heard the sound of "dong dong dong" coming from the kitchen, and soon the big chicken was slaughtered into small pieces.

"Little sister, it's okay."

After Zhuzi finished his work here, he squatted down and prepared to help Lan Ning peel garlic.

"No, Brother Zhuzi, help me take care of that fish. Don't kill it. Leave it whole. Just scrape off the scales, take out the gills, and take out the internal organs."
