Su Shian couldn't help but said, "Mom, I suddenly feel a little hungry." You know, they got up early in the morning, washed up, and then plunged into busy work, and haven't enjoyed breakfast yet!

It was already three quarters past midnight. Deng Xian turned around and looked at Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang who were busy, and said softly, "Don't worry, the breakfast made by Grandma Fang will be ready soon." It must be said that their new home was really eye-catching, especially the extra spacious kitchen, which was as big as the three rooms in the house they rented before! Moreover, there were rows of shelves by the door, which were perfect for storing all kinds of cooking utensils and ingredients.

"Xian'er, is breakfast ready?" Deng Qiyue touched his stomach and felt hungry. Seeing Su Yu still working hard in the study, he ran over to ask about the situation.

Eunuch Fang quickly replied, "Don't worry, sir. We just need to make fried tofu before we can start eating."

Deng Qiyue had no choice but to say, "Oh, okay. Take your time. I'm not rushing you..."

Su Shian muttered to himself, "They are obviously urging me, what will happen if I admit it? It won't cost me anything..."

At this time, Su Shikuan suddenly shouted loudly: "Uncle Qi, come and see if the rice dumplings I made have become more beautiful?"

Deng Qiyue waved his hand and turned away, muttering, "No, the more I look, the hungrier I feel..."

After Su Yu finished painting the fan, he slowly walked to Deng Qiyue and said earnestly, "Ziyue, don't be anxious. Good food is never too late."

Deng Qiyue was a little unhappy after hearing this and retorted: "Of course you are not in a hurry. After all, you are not doing any physical labor."

Su Yu heard this and asked curiously, "So what did you do, Ziyue?"

Deng Qiyue replied proudly: "Not only did I hang mugwort on the gate, I also personally harvested a large bundle of calamus."

"Oh? Are you serious? You didn't buy it from the stall in the city gate tower?" Su Yu teased with a smile.

"That's absolutely not the case! Zhao Yi can testify to this." Deng Qi Yue hurriedly called Zhao Yi over and asked him to tell Su Yu about the time when they cut calamus together.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yi didn't care about Deng Qiyue's face at all, and said bluntly: "Sir, the young master did go with us, but the one who actually cut the calamus was a subordinate, and the young master was only responsible for checking whether the calamus was growing well."

Hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but laugh heartily: "Hahahaha, it's you again! Ziyue."

At this moment, Granny Fang shouted loudly, "Dinner is ready!" This shout was like a pause, bringing the argument between Su Yu and Deng Qiyue to an abrupt end.

Deng Xian, who was standing by, saw this and hurriedly urged, "Hurry up and eat. After you finish your meal, get back to work. We have only made over 200 dumplings, which is far from enough."

Deng Qiyue scratched his head and asked in confusion, "Mom, how many dumplings do you think are enough? We have only been wrapping them for less than an hour, which is quite fast!"

"Well, that's true. We are moving quite fast, but we still need to keep working hard. After all, we will consume quite a lot just for our family, and we also have to prepare some to give back to the guests. In addition, we have to send some to Seventh Brother, Uncle Fang, and Aunt Fang. By the way, don't forget those poor children, we must give them some as well." The children that Deng Xian was talking about were the little beggars living in the dilapidated temple.

Although Deng Xian was very reluctant to mention this matter, she knew that some things had to be done no matter what. "Besides that, there is your grandfather's family. Although they have been separated for a long time, the etiquette during festivals and holidays must still be followed. It just so happens that your father is going to deliver this month's alimony, so you can bring some rice dumplings with him."

In this way, in order to allow Su Yu to go out and do things as soon as possible, Deng Xian hurriedly put the dumplings they had just wrapped carefully into the pot, then added a few firewood to the stove and started cooking. The glutinous rice was soaked in advance last night, and it had absorbed enough water and became plump and shiny. It only needed to be cooked for about an hour to become a fragrant, soft and glutinous dumpling!

After dinner, Su Yu also joined the group of people making zongzi with great interest. Deng Qiyue saw this and muttered to himself, "This guy usually looks clumsy, but he will definitely make a big fool of himself this time!" So he simply moved a small stool and sat leisurely beside him, ready to watch a good show. Unexpectedly, Su Yu's hands were like magic, fiddling with the zong leaves and glutinous rice very skillfully. After a while, a angular, delicate and cute zongzi appeared in front of him. Moreover, this zongzi was no worse than the one made by Deng Xian in terms of shape and size!

Deng Qiyue was stunned: "Wow, I didn't expect you to have such a skill!"

Su Yu and Deng Qi always liked to tease and amuse each other, so they naturally boasted: "Haha, I am gifted. It's just making zongzi, of course I can learn it in one go!"

"Stop being so conceited!" Deng Qiyue rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "What time did you leave the house?"

"Well... when the dumplings in the pot are cooked, I will bring some to my parents." Su Yu replied while continuing to wrap dumplings.

"Come back soon, don't expect me to support you for too long." Deng Qiyue was referring to helping Su Yu entertain the guests at his home.

"Thank you, Ziyue. After all, you are familiar with these people. Besides, the Master has been waiting for you to come and meet him. With your personality, I'm sure the Master won't say much."

Deng Qiyue responded: "I finally got a chance to take a break, and I really don't want to socialize with those people all day long."

Su Yu expressed his understanding to him: "I understand what you are thinking, but in the martial arts world, many times you are often forced to do things against your will!"

At this time, Su Shian also interrupted and said, "Seventh Uncle, you still have to maintain a good relationship with County Magistrate Chen and the others. If we want to do business in the future, we may have to rely on their help."

Deng Qiyue heard this and turned to ask her, "An An, do you know what kind of business I am engaged in?"

"Hmm... I don't know. Uncle Seven, what kind of business are you doing?" Su Shian asked back with a puzzled look on his face.

Not only her, but also Su Shikuan and others beside her echoed: "Yes, we don't know about this either."
