“What is this?”
The child’s voice was tender and soft, but it was also filled with elegance.
Ye Lulu’s eyes narrowed, but she was not angry with the girl. She only looked at the woman and said, “Madam, our stall doesn’t cheat anyone. It has already been selling for an entire morning. However, if Madam and Young Miss are delicate, it’s better to be careful when eating. Our stall is filled with only these ingredients, nothing else.”
She was returning the maidservant’s words.
“I want to eat. I want to eat this!” The girl’s face fell. She tugged at the woman’s hand and said unhappily, “Mother, I want to eat this. It smells good.”
The woman’s eyebrows were even more exquisite up close. She was amiable and kind to people. She looked at Ye Lulu and said, “It’s not that I despise your stall, but this food is spicy. My daughter’s stomach is weak and she’s been vomiting. I’m afraid she can’t handle this spicy food of yours. However, my daughter is seasick and can’t eat well. She only has an appetite for your food. Can I ask you if there’s any other way?”
This madam’s attitude was still considered good. Ye Lulu did not shoot her mouth off. She paused for a moment and said, “It’s not suitable to eat Malatang after vomiting just now. It’s too stimulating to a child’s stomach. If your daughter is willing, it’s best not to eat Malatang.”
She was not mocking them this time. Instead, she was saying this sincerely.
Even people from the modern era could not eat spicy food when their stomachs were weak, let alone people from ancient times. Furthermore, it was obvious that she was a noble little girl.
“I just want to eat this!”
The girl frowned tightly. Her lips were still pale and she indeed had no appetite. Only when she smelled the unfamiliar fresh smell of Ye Lulu’s Malatang did she feel a little desire.
The woman frowned and asked Ye Lulu, “Shopkeeper, do you have a solution?”
Ye Lulu felt good at being addressed as a shopkeeper and helped out.
She curled her lips and smiled. Her originally beautiful and fair face looked even more fresh and amiable. She smiled and said to the girl, “If that’s all you want, then we can only think of a solution. The original taste of this Malatang is too spicy. Then, fill the ingredients with water and wash away the spicy taste before eating. That will be suitable for you to eat. As for the feeling of having just vomited and feeling uncomfortable in your body, I’ll scoop a bowl of clear soup for you. That was prepared with fresh pork bones today. Although the ingredients aren’t expensive, they’re definitely clean and edible. Clear soup is equivalent to stewed pork bone soup. It’s also nutritious.”
“Drink a bowl of clear pork bone soup first to warm your stomach. Then, eat Malatang washed off with water. How about that?”
Ye Lulu spoke gently and in detail. The girl listened to her and nodded immediately.
The girl was spoiled at home and was rarely obedient. The elegant woman was also surprised. Then, she held her hand and nodded at Ye Lulu. Since she said it so logically, she would listen to her.
“We’ll do as you say. Sorry for the trouble, shopkeeper.”
Ye Lulu felt good again. Damn, she finally experienced the feeling of being called the lady boss in the modern world!
As her mood improved, her expression became gentler. She smiled at the girl and said to her, “For Malatang, the person who wants to eat it will pick the ingredients, so pick them yourself. There are so many ingredients here. You can choose them yourself. After that, I’ll cook them for you.”
“Really? I can choose?”
The girl’s face lit up and her eyes shone. Children liked to make their own choices. When she heard that she could pick her ingredients, she immediately became more energetic.
“Yes,” Ye Lulu said. “Take whatever you like.”
“Alright!”
The girl pursed her pink lips and revealed a happy expression. She looked up and called out, “Uncle!” A black shadow flashed and a man jumped out of thin air. He squatted in front of the girl and knelt on one knee. “Miss.”
Ye Lulu’s eyes turned cold.
This was a secret guard.
With secret guards by their sides at all times, this mother-daughter pair’s status was nobler than she had imagined. They were definitely not just rich, but also noble.
Ye Lulu was not afraid of people of such status, but she felt that it was troublesome. If anything happened, it would be a huge problem.
Actually, Ye Lulu didn’t like troublesome people like this.
However, there was no choice. They were already in front of her, so she could only receive them well.
Ye Lulu’s eyes darkened, but she did not show any surprise.
“Uncle, carry me up. I want to pick ingredients,” the little girl said very naturally.
The woman shook her head helplessly and let go of the girl’s hand. She allowed the secret guard to step forward and pick the girl up before walking to the wooden cart.
The secret guard first glanced at Ye Lulu with a sharp warning in his eyes.
Ye Lulu’s heart skipped a beat. Those who could be secret guards were indeed extraordinary. Their elite auras were too intimidating.
A faint figure suddenly stood beside her. Guan Chibei’s expression was calm as he stood beside Ye Lulu and looked at the secret guard.
For some reason, the warning aura emanating from the secret guard’s body was instantly neutralized.
However, there was no sharpness on Guan Chibei.
The secret guard looked at Guan Chibei. He was as sharp as an eagle, but could not see anything special about Guan Chibei. He only looked at Guan Chibei a few more times before carrying the girl so that she could look at the ingredients on the table.
The girl was excited. Ye Lulu handed her a bamboo basket. “What do you want to eat? Place it in the basket yourself.”
The secret guard glanced at Ye Lulu calmly and reached out to take it. He held it for the girl and indeed, did not want her to do any tiring work.
The girl looked around excitedly and reached out her short arms to grab a stick of mushrooms. The girl was too small and her hands were not long enough. The secret guard even bent down and carried her up so that she could reach them.
She took the mushrooms and placed them in the bamboo basket. This action of hers triggered the girl. She was especially happy and took a few more sticks.
There were fishballs, beancurd sheets, vermicelli, and vegetables. The girl did not stop. She took radish and chicken filet and asked Ye Lulu in a childish voice, “What’s different about these two balls?”
The lively performance of the girl shocked the woman standing behind her again.
“This is a pork meatball, which is slightly redder.” Ye Lulu said, “This yellow one is a chicken meatball. There are mushrooms mixed in the chicken meatballs, and shepherd’s purse is added in the pork meatballs.”
“I like chicken and mushrooms,” the girl said in a childish voice. Then, she reached out and took the chicken meatballs. “I want chicken meatballs.”
The woman behind was even more surprised. This was because the girl usually ate very little and did not like to eat much… This time, she took the initiative to get so much. Was it not enough?!
