Xiaoxiao, on the other hand, was calm and composed. She walked to the counter and looked at the accountant, who was dozing off inside. âMay I ask if youâre the shopkeeper?â
The accountant was a little impatient after someone disturbed his rest. As he was about to speak, he heard the little girl say sincerely, âYou look so imposing and have an extraordinary temperament. You must be the shopkeeper!â
The accountant was speechless. He suddenly felt very happy.
His tone softened. âYoung lady, why are you looking for the shopkeeper?â
Xiaoxiao continued to shout blindly. âUncle, I want to ask if your restaurant accepts novel food. Itâs very delicious!â
When he listened to her words, he thought, âHuh, why is this little girl so good at talking?â The accountant smiled until his eyes narrowed. âIâm not the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper is not busy now. I can go to ask him.â
He could take a trip to wake himself up.
Ning Erlang was stunned. Ning Dalang coughed lightly and reminded his sister, âThat uncle was looking at the account book with an abacus just now. He must be the accountant of this restaurant.â
Xiaoxiao nodded and said, âI know, butâ¦â She clenched her fists and looked serious. âItâs not good to not want to be a shopkeeper.â
Ning Dalang did not understand, but he seemed to have understood something.
Ning Erlang wanted to take his bold sister away. âHow dare you come here to sell bamboo shoots? Arenât you afraid of being beaten up?â
Xiaoxiao wagged her finger. âIâve already asked Uncle Zhang about it. In the county, the shopkeeper of the Fragrance Restaurant is the kindest. He wonât fall out with us even if the deal doesnât work.â
âBesides, thereâs nothing difficult in the world. Just give it a try. If it doesnât work, thereâs no loss. What if it succeeds? The opportunity is fleeting. Itâs better to miss it than to miss it.â
These words were a little profound to Ning Erlang, but it didnât matter. Xiaoxiao wasnât saying them for him to hear anyway.
Looking at her elder brotherâs thoughtful expression, Xiaoxiao felt satisfied. Satisfied, she turned to look at the shopkeeper who had walked down with the accountant. Then, she was even more satisfied to see the acquaintance beside the shopkeeper.
âPretty sister?â
Shopkeeper Liu was also stunned when she saw Xiaoxiao. She didnât think that the little girl was here to eat.
Shopkeeper Xu asked in surprise, âIs it someone you know?â
Shopkeeper Liu nodded. âI just met her recently.â
Xiaoxiao could tell that the relationship between these two people was not ordinary. Hence, she blinked and took a step forward. âBirds of a feather flock together. The ancients did not lie to me. Indeed, the friends of outstanding people are also outstanding people.â
Shopkeeper Liu laughed. âAre you praising yourself too?â
Xiaoxiao nodded. âYouâre beautiful and smart. How can those ordinary people live?â Shopkeeper Liu blushed and wanted to hit her.
Shopkeeper Xu looked at their interaction in surprise and interrupted good-naturedly, âGirl, why are you looking for me?â
Xiaoxiao asked emotionally, âUncle, do you want your restaurant to have unique snacks that canât be bought anywhere else? Do you want your restaurant to be the first to launch new dishes that youâve never heard of? Do you look forward to your restaurant being the most outstanding and becoming the top restaurant in this county?â
Xiaoxiao asked, âThen do you want to buy our sour bamboo shoots and try it?â
Everyone was speechless.
Ning Erlang had the urge to cover his face and run away after hearing her exaggerated words about selling sour bamboo shoots. She, however, amused the two shopkeepers. Shopkeeper Liu looked at Shopkeeper Xu, who said, âDonât look at me. You can talk about your own business. It has nothing to do with me.â
She usually separated the public and the private matters.. Shopkeeper Xu was already used to it, so he asked Xiaoxiao, âBamboo shoots? Are they bamboo shoots?â
