Shen Qiuhua and Lan Ruozhu washed their hands and went to help. Su Fengmao, Shen Qiuhui, and Su Wenxiu followed suit, while Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin tended to the red bean paste at the stove.

Everyone worked together and quickly finished cutting the glutinous rice into small pieces. One side of the board could not hold too many small ingredients.

They could only sprinkle some four on the sieve to prevent the small ingredients from sticking. If they sprinkled flour evenly, they would not stick together.

The family placed some ingredients on the board and only used them when needed. Otherwise, there would be too little space on the board. After all, they had to make a lot of glutinous rice balls.

Afterward, Shen Qiuhua asked, “Won’t we run out of space, Binglan?”

After some thought, Su Binglan said, “Hmm, let’s nffap the black sesame filling first.”

After hearing her suggestion, Luo Jin’an went to get the pot containing the black sesame filling.

Su Binglan flattened the small pieces, then added the black sesame seed paste in the middle. Afterward, she wrapped it with the glutinous rice and tightened the opening before rolling it into a ball.

She said to everyone as she worked, “Just do as I showed you. Ask me for help if you’re having trouble, Take your time wrapping the filling, okay?”

Su Binglan finished forming the glutinous rice balls in just a short while. Luo Jin’an placed the bowl of rice balls on the side table and brought an empty bowl.

He first grabbed some flour and sprinkled it on the board. Everyone followed suit. Lan Ruozhu was slow initially. When he finished making one, he looked at it and felt accomplished. He could not help but smile. Lan Ruozhu asked his sister, “How’s this?”

Su Bingfeng smiled and praised, “It looks perfect, Brother.”

Lan Ruozhu’s smile widened when his sister praised him. He enjoyed making glutinous rice balls with everyone. He felt the family’s warmth at that moment. It made his mind and body relax.

Meanwhile, Blue Eagle stood in the background. After all, he was a Shadow Guard. He had grown up with Lan Ruozhu and Lan Ruobing. However, none of them went to the kitchen when they were children.

Lan Ruobing had made longevity noodles for her twin brother during their birthday. However, Blue Eagle trained with the Shadow Guards, so he did not know how to cook.

He was surprised when he saw Su Binglan making the glutinous rice balls. He did not need to know anything else except that she was the princess. Moreover, Lan Ruozhu was happy to be with his sister. Blue Eagle only wanted to protect them.

Shen Qiuhui was not good at cooking since he was the head of the Shen family. He had seen his sister cooking in the kitchen during their childhood but never entered a kitchen since.

Therefore, he took longer than the others to roll the glutinous rice balls to shape. Still, Shen Qiuhua guided him. She smiled and said, “If you can make these, you can make dumplings.”

“What are dumplings, Sister?” Shen Qiuhui had never eaten dumplings.

Shen Qiuhua saw his puzzled expression and remembered that he had never tried dumplings. When he arrived, the family made many dishes but didn’t make dumplings because they had eaten them for the New Year celebrations.

Shen Qiuhua said, “Stay for two more days. You can try the glutinous rice balls tomorrow and make dumplings with us the day after.”

“All right.” Shen Qiuhui nodded.

“Dumplings are delicious, Brother-in-law,” Su Fengmao said, “Our village typically makes them during festivals.”

Lan Ruozhu nodded in agreement, knowing dumplings were delicious. He had eaten them with the Su family. Moreover, he was proud of his sister for inventing it.

Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe cooked the red beans until they turned soft. Then,

they pounded them into a paste. Liu Yinyin knew her sister-in-law would know how it was supposed to taste.

She took the mashed red beans to the hall and showed them to Su Binglan.

“Binglan, you should season it since you know about taste better than anyone else.”

Su Binglan nodded and went to season the red bean paste. Liu Yinyin and Su Wenzhe went to roll the glutinous rice balls after preparing the red beans for Su Binglan.

The younger couple had grown accustomed to making things for Su Binglan, so they finished forming the glutinous rice balls quickly.

Meanwhile, Shen Mohen helped Su Wensu with the spicy hotpot restaurant. Su Wenwu felt pretty nervous because he would launch the restaurant tomorrow. Although he had launched several hotpot restaurants, he was still slightly anxious.

He inspected both floors after the new waitstaff cleaned everything inside and out. They even arranged the tables and chairs neatly. The place also had a unique kitchen.

Shen Mohen patted Su Wenwu’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t be nervous. The place looks exceptional.”

“Thanks, Cousin Mohen,” Su Wenwu sighed in relief.

He only took a few days to clean the shop, prepare the food, and hire employees. Although Su Wenwu was swamped, Shen Mohen had helped him significantly. Su Wenwu did not ask the others to help because they had things to do.

Shen Mohen smiled. “No need to thank me. I’m just here to learn from you.”

He had learned much from Su Wenwu. The latter always explained things to Shen Mohen patiently and in full detail. Su Wenwu knew his cousin was just trying to make him feel better.

He knew the Shen family had many businesses. If he wanted to learn from Shen Mohen, there was no place to do so. Moreover, Shen Mohen could learn a lot from Su Binglan.

Still, Shen Mohen came to help Su Wenwu. The latter was grateful for his cousin’s help.

Shen Mohen looked at the shop and said, “l like everyone wearing the same clothes. They look nice and neat.”

“That’s my sister’s idea. She made those uniforms when we opened the first hotpot restaurant. Everyone in the tofu factory, winery, and noodle shop also wears uniforms. Only those at the embroidery shop can wear whatever they want.”

Shen Mohen said thoughtfully. “The shoo looks much cleaner if everyone wears the same thing.”

Su Wenwu looked into the kitchen and felt relieved to see that the employees had cleaned it and prepared all the ingredients. He clapped and asked the waitstaff to gather.

He wanted to hold a meeting to discuss the restaurant’s launch. The waitstaff was in high spirits because they could work for the Su family. They would feel proud of themselves when word got out.

Moreover, they knew the Su family treated their employees exceptionally well. Su Wenwu had also told them about the salaries and that they could take the rest of the day off.

The waitstaff was ecstatic and looked forward to working hard for him..
