Chapter 113 Little Boss Lady! If Your Family Doesn’t Make Money, Who Will?
At the gate of Sunshine Primary School, Lu Qin arrived riding a three-wheeled food cart, causing a stir among the custors who had already lined up.
“Boss Lu is finally here! I was just about to starve!”
“So excited, this is my first ti arriving early to queue. I can barely wait to eat!”
“Finally, it’s the weekend, and I can have Boss Lu’s breakfast. It’s so far to the north of the city!”
“I haven’t had the ice crystal cake for three days. I’m really craving it!”
…
Many parents of the elentary school children, who had tasted Lu Qin’s food before, ca out today since their kids weren’t in school. The first three male custors quickly helped set up the stall, moving fast to prepare and enjoy their al.
Lu Qin set up a table on the right side of the stall, placing green bean soup, ice crystal cake, and crystal shrimp dumplings out of the fresh-keeping box, neatly arranging them on the table.
“Today, Lu’s Food Stall has added a new mini stall. Please support the little boss’s business!”
Lu Qin smiled at the custors and winked at his daughter, Lu Xiyao, then set up a small stool behind the table.
The little girl’s eyes sparkled with excitent, and she confidently walked to the back of the table, straightened her little chest, and adopted the posture of a small boss. However, she was a cute and naive little boss.
“Dear custors, please queue up properly. The little boss is selling green bean soup, ice crystal cake, and crystal shrimp dumplings. Co buy them quickly if you want!”
Lu Xiyao’s soft and sweet voice rang out. The custors were initially stunned, then they all beca amused.
“Oh my, with such a cute little boss, I definitely have to buy sothing!”
“Wow! She’s in kindergarten and already a little boss. Her future is limitless!”
“Let’s go, go buy sothing from the little boss first!”
“With such a beautiful little boss, I must support her!”
Thus, the queue split into two: one line for stir-fried noodles, the other for green bean soup and ice crystal cakes. Of course, the stir-fried noodles without green bean soup would lack flavor, and the crystal shrimp dumplings without stir-fried noodles would be incomplete.
After purchasing, the custors were expected to swap places with the other line.
“What would you like, uncle?”
“I’d like five boxes of ice crystal cakes, three orders of crystal shrimp dumplings, and five cups of green bean soup.”
“Uncle, you can only buy a maximum of two boxes of ice crystal cakes, three cups of green bean soup, and one order of crystal shrimp dumplings, right, Daddy?”
Lu Xiyao stretched out her little pinky finger to inform the custor. Lu Qin, throwing so bean sprouts into the pan, nodded at his daughter.
“Yes, the little boss is right.”
With confirmation, Lu Xiyao told the custor, “Uncle, you need to order again, your previous order was wrong.”
The custor laughed and said, “Alright, little boss, I’ll reorder…”
“Uncle, did you scan the paynt yet?”
“How much is it?”
“The ice crystal cakes are 25 yuan per box, you’ve ordered two, the crystal shrimp dumplings are 28 yuan per order, you’ve ordered one, the green bean soup is 3.5 yuan per cup, you’ve ordered three…”
A kindergarten kid couldn’t add or subtract double-digit numbers, so the custor jokingly asked, “Little boss, do you need to help you calculate?”
Lu Xiyao showed an expression of who do you think you’re talking to and pulled out a tablet from behind her stool.
“Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, can you tell how much is 28 yuan plus 25 yuan plus 25 yuan plus 3.5 yuan plus...?”
【88 yuan 5 jiao.】
“Uncle, please scan 88 yuan 5 jiao.”
Lu Xiyao looked up, her big, smart eyes sparkling with pride.
The custor was montarily stunned, then exaggerated, “Wow, little boss, you’ve got Xiao Yi the accountant to help you calculate!”
“Tsk, tsk, Lu Qin’s daughter is so smart!”
“Clever and cute!”
“Real ‘little boss!’”
“Looking at her more, I just want to take her ho!”
“No one stop ! I’m taking the little boss ho today!”
…
Seeing the custors complinting his daughter, Lu Qin couldn’t help but smile happily. Lu Xiyao grabbed a plastic bag, opened it, and packed the items one by one, adding a pair of disposable chopsticks and two napkins before tying the bag. She was already an experienced packager.
The custor scanned the code and said, “Little boss, I’ve paid already.”
The custor stuffed their phone into their pocket, opened the crystal shrimp dumplings, and continued to the left side of the queue for stir-fried noodles.
After completing the first sale, the little boss felt a great sense of accomplishnt.
“Next, next~!”
A middle-aged woman shook a lollipop.
“Little boss, want to eat a lollipop?”
“Thank you, auntie… um…”
Lu Xiyao’s eyes brightened when she saw the lollipop, but she suddenly rembered sothing. After a couple of seconds of blankness, she shook her head.
“No, I’m the little boss now, I don’t want a lollipop.”
“Little boss can’t eat lollipops?” The woman asked.
“Yes, lollipops are for little kids. I’m the little boss now, I’m different!”
“Really don’t want it?” The middle-aged woman continued tempting her. “Little boss can still eat lollipops, just ask your daddy.”
Lu Xiyao turned her head and looked at Lu Qin.
Lu Qin, stirring the pan, smiled.
“You’re the little boss, you decide.”
“Auntie, is it lychee flavor~?”
The middle-aged woman laughed so much that her wrinkles crinkled.
“It’s definitely lychee flavor!”
She bought 88.5 yuan worth of goods, bought as much as she could, and then went next door to buy stir-fried noodles.
With a lollipop in her mouth, the little boss continued her business happily.
“Brother, what would you like?”
The little girl was very polite, greeting everyone.
When she called out “Brother,” the young man felt a sense of comfort, as if it made him younger. The little one’s words were really sweet.
However, the young man continued teasing her.
“Little boss, can you give a discount?”
Lu Xiyao quickly responded, frowning, “Brother, we run a small business, it’s hard to give discounts. Our food is so tasty, it’s worth the price~!”
“And my daddy gets up early to cook, it’s a lot of hard work!”
The custors couldn’t help but click their tongues.
“Ah! Boss Lu, your little boss is too good at business. If your family doesn’t get rich, who will?”
“Unbelievable, next ti we’ll get your daughter a ‘little boss’ certificate to hang around her neck!”
“My naughty kid is still playing with mud, and Boss Lu’s daughter is already making money for the family!”
“This little boss is going viral! The headline is already ready—‘Children Shouldn’t Be Left Behind, Kindergarten Kid Starts a Business on the Weekend!’ Ha ha!”
“Little boss is going to be able to buy a go-kart tomorrow!”
Lu Qin just smiled.
As more and more regular custors ca, the ice crystal cakes and green bean soup were quickly packed for fast sales, and a table was set up for custors to queue, scan the code, and pick up their orders. This saved ti for both custors and himself.
So custors didn’t want stir-fried noodles or didn’t have ti to wait in a long line, so they could just grab their order from the self-service counter.
This also prevented custors from getting too hungry and fainting from low blood sugar. The little boss’s role was optional but aningful, letting the little one experience business was quite fulfilling.
