I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

When Xiao Furong saw Yuqin come out of Zhuzhu's room, she quickly ran to Yuqin. She placed both of her chubby little paws on Yuqin's thighs, raised her little head, and meowed at Yuqin.

Yuqin knew, of course, that the adorable little kitten wanted to be held, because whenever Xiao Furong wanted to be held, she would use her two cute little paws to hug a person's legs. But this time, Yuqin simply patted Xiao Furong's little head gently. Then she placed Xiao Furong on Mulong's shoulder.

Meow! Meow! Meow! Little Hibiscus saw that Yuqin didn't hold it in her arms, so it sadly meowed at Yuqin a few times.

Hehe! Little kitten, if you were still as well-behaved as before, how could your grandma possibly be cold to you? You better think carefully about whether you've done anything naughty to upset her recently.

Little Furong pressed her fluffy little head tightly against Mu Long's face, meowing incessantly. Mu Long frowned as he glanced at Little Furong. He had previously thought Little Furong was an incredibly cute little kitten. But for some reason, seeing her now made him feel incredibly irritated.

Mother, do you know where our Fu Ye is? I want to give this annoying little guy to him! How long until you go to the temple to pray to Buddha?

Oh! Master Fu is in the kitchen now helping your eldest sister-in-law pack the cooked taro balls. We're all ready, just waiting for your eldest sister-in-law to carry all the taro balls onto the carriage before we set off.

Mother, I was originally thinking of going back to my room to bathe and change before going to the temple to burn incense with you. I thought that might be more devout.

Haha! I said if you want to do this, you should go take a shower as soon as you get here instead of standing here chatting with Mu'er like an idiot.

Besides, the weather is extremely hot right now. Didn't you take a shower after you came back from the Longsheng Hotel yesterday?

By this time, Zhuzhu had changed out of her nightgown and into a pale yellow dress. She then retrieved two large-capacity insulated containers from her system.

Zhuzhu, can you tell Grandma what you're going to do with these two big buckets?

Didn't Yi just tell us that she didn't have a large iron basin to take the taro balls she had already cooked to the temple? I think it's perfect to use the thermos I'm carrying to hold the cooked taro balls.

Mu Long noticed small water droplets emerging from the rims of the two large buckets Zhu Zhu was carrying. Intrigued, he walked over and squatted down beside her. He gently touched the tiny water droplets floating on the insulated buckets with his finger.

Zhuzhu, is there something else in this bucket? Otherwise, why are there so many water droplets on the outside of the bucket? And why do I feel that these water droplets have a cool and refreshing feel to them?

Yes, yes! Uncle's bucket is double-layered! The first layer is filled with lots of ice, and the second layer is for the food we want to keep fresh. That way, we can have a portable mini-fridge!

Mu Long curiously opened the lid of the insulated container. Indeed, the first layer was empty, but when Mu Long opened the second layer, he saw that it was filled with ice.

Zhuzhu, where did you get so much ice? I don't remember having this much ice at the Yang residence.

Zhu Zhu was conflicted when Mu Long asked her that question. She wondered whether she should tell her parents that she owned an ice maker.

So what if they know they have an ice machine? They don't seem to really need it!

Zhuzhu, do you know what it's like to eat something icy cold on a very hot summer day?

Uncle, have you ever eaten a popsicle for a penny? Have you ever thought about making some delicious popsicles and selling them on Longsheng Street? Even little kids like us like to eat something icy and cool in the hot summer.

Yes! But we don't have a refrigerator to make popsicles. If we had a refrigerator, I would have had people make a lot of popsicles to sell on Longsheng Street long ago.

Just as Zhuzhu was about to say something to Mulong, a noisy commotion came from outside.

I said, Mr. Fu, what's going on with you? You didn't send any food to Hei Rentang yesterday! It's already broad daylight today, why are you still leisurely lounging around at the Yang residence?

I think this old bastard is deliberately trying to starve our brothers in Heirentang to death!

Master Fu raised his hands and waved to the brothers from the Black Hall standing in front of him, trying to get them to quiet down so he could finish speaking.

Master Fu, are our eldest and second young masters at the Yang residence right now? If so, please go and summon them to confront us face to face.

I want to ask those two brothers why they didn't ask you to send us food to Heirentang all day yesterday. Is he planning to disband Heirentang, as he told us last time?

Yes, yes, yes! Have you ever heard the saying, "To send a Buddha, send him to the West"? Back then, Master Yang personally promised us brothers in Hei Ren Tang that he would support us for life!

How come your Master Yang has only been dead for a few years! And the eldest and second young masters are already trying to renege on their promises?

After saying this, the brothers from Hei Ren Tang were furious. Without thinking twice, they picked up a very valuable antique vase from the square table and smashed it to the floor. Clang! Clang! The brothers from Hei Ren Tang smashed quite a few valuable antiques.

Because Zhuzhu's room was quite a distance from the flower hall, Mu Long and the others were unaware that the brothers from the Black Hall had come to the Yang residence to cause trouble. It wasn't until poor little Furong suddenly reappeared in front of Mu Long, the little one forcefully biting his trouser leg.

Then she ran forward with all her might, but how could Little Hibiscus possibly have the strength to pull Mu Long along? After tugging at Mu Long's trouser leg for a while, Little Hibiscus saw that her father was still standing there unmoved. So she raised her little head and called out to Mu Long in a cute but fierce way.

Mu Long then lowered his noble head to see what this mischievous little kitten was up to.

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Don't you think Little Hibiscus's behavior is a bit unusual? I remember it just ran from the direction of the flower hall.
