Deng Qiyue seemed to be nonchalant and answered casually: "To put it bluntly, I just transport our goods to the western region, and then buy some goods from there and bring them back here to sell."

Su Shian said bluntly: "Seventh Uncle makes money by earning the difference in price!"

"That's right, let's not talk about this for now. You are still young, and it's useless to know so much." Deng Qiyue didn't want to talk about it anymore. He felt very tired. "Sister Xian'er, I seem to smell the fragrance of zongzi."

Deng Xian responded, "Yeah, it smells really good. The ones we made before were all sweet, but I still remember that Brother Qi prefers salty ones."

"Then cook some more meat filling."

"Okay, but you need to cook it separately later, otherwise it will be mixed with other flavors." Deng Xian said as she hurriedly turned around to get new leaves to tie the rice dumplings. As she spoke, she had already walked quickly out the door.

Deng Qiyue asked curiously, "By the way, can you guys accurately tell which type of zongzi has a sweet flavor?"

At this time, Su Shining suddenly interrupted and replied: "Of course you can, Uncle Seven, look, these square ones are meat dumplings, and the triangular ones that are cooking in the pot now are all sweet dumplings."

"Ah? I see... Well, I thought I had to rely on luck to get the flavor I like." Deng Qiyue muttered in a low voice, and then asked impatiently: "How long do I have to wait before I can eat it?"

Deng Xian happened to walk in from outside and heard what Deng Qiyue said, so she asked him hurriedly: "Seventh Brother, aren't you full yet? I'm afraid the rice dumplings won't be ready until the 9th hour."

Seeing this, Su Yu quickly explained, "Don't be nervous, Xian'er. Zi Yue was just joking with them."

"Oh, so that's good." Deng Xian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then continued to wrap the rice dumplings with Su Yu attentively, as if Deng Qiyue was the only one with nothing to do at the moment.

Su Shian was worried about Hongdou and the others, thinking that they had nothing to do today and whether they had food to eat. She was eager to know their actual situation, so she turned to Deng Xian and Su Yu and said, "Mom and Dad, I plan to go to the ruined temple later and give some rice dumplings to the people there."

Before Su Yu and Deng Xian responded, Deng Qi Yue expressed his opposition first: "You'd better not go. Let Zhao Yi go." Although those little beggars seemed to be fine, there must be other beggars lurking around the dilapidated temple. If they encountered any unexpected incidents, the consequences would be unpredictable.

However, Su Shian still said firmly: "Then I will go with Uncle Zhao."

"I want to go with you." Su Shirong also seemed very excited. Knowing that he was not strong enough, he continued, "If you really run into trouble, I can help Uncle Zhao take care of my sister and make sure it doesn't hinder Uncle Zhao from using his skills."

Hearing this, Su Shian felt as if he had been stabbed with a knife, and couldn't help but complain: "I really didn't expect you to be this kind of Third Brother."

"Rong'er, you actually like to join in the fun." The person who spoke was Deng Qiyue.

After hearing this, Su Shirong answered seriously, "No, I just care about them! After all, they are currently helping out in our shop, and as their employers, if we don't even know their actual situation, how can we know if something unexpected will happen?"

Deng Qiyue couldn't stand Su Shirong's words and couldn't help but start to complain: "Come on, I really can't tell, you little brat is just like An An, young but not studying hard, thinking about nonsense all day long."

Seeing that the two were about to get into a heated argument, Su Yu on the side quickly stepped out to mediate and said with a smile: "Zi Yue, why don't you lend them your manpower? Otherwise, given their personalities, even if we don't agree, they will definitely follow us secretly."

"Okay, in that case, then you can go ahead, but remember not to cause trouble, do you understand?" Deng Qiyue compromised helplessly.

After getting the permission, Su Shian and Su Shirong were very excited and responded in unison: "Got it!"

When the first pot of fragrant zongzi came out of the oven, they had already finished wrapping the rest. At this moment, everyone came to the yard to make sachets and folding fans, which would be given as gifts to the guests.

Not long after, the brother and sister Su Yu and Su Shirong each left with sachets and rice dumplings. Su Shining and Su Shikuan had to stay at home to help Deng Qiyue and Deng Xian deal with other remaining matters. If there were guests arriving early, they would also be responsible for arranging the reception.

At this moment, seasonal fresh fruits and freshly cooked rice dumplings have been placed in the lobby of the main house. In addition, there are some traditional cakes made according to Su Shian’s memory, such as white cakes, chicken cakes, marrow cakes, thin rings, cut cakes, bait blocks, etc.

I would like to mention the egg biscuits in particular. Eggs, milk, butter and other ingredients are added during the production process. They are extremely crispy and delicious. Moreover, the biscuits made entirely of butter dough have an excellent taste of "crumbles in your mouth, as fat as snow", which is exactly the same as Su Shian's favorite cream biscuits.

Of course, Mingqian tea is an indispensable standard. However, for a family like Su Yu, buying Mingqian tea is really a luxury. But fortunately, Deng Qi had foreseen it and made arrangements in advance.

He carefully prepared a variety of famous teas, including Guzhu Zisun, Yangxian Tea, Shouzhou Huangya, Mengding Shihua, Jinmen Tuanhuang, Lu'an Tea, etc. He prepared a copy of each. Only with his skillful hands that he was good at handling things could he collect these precious teas from all over the world so quickly.

At the same time, Su Shian and Su Shi followed Zhao Yi out of the city gate. Although they had nothing in their hands, they still needed to go all out and run to keep up with Zhao Yi's heavy but wind-like pace.

"Uncle Zhao, please slow down! Wait for us!" Su Shian shouted breathlessly from behind.

Hearing this call, Zhao Yi turned around and said, "Fourth Master, your physical strength is really too poor! I suggest you exercise more in the future and stop playing all the time."
