"All right," Lin Zheng said excitedly, "I'll go now."
He became hungrier now that he knew he could eat dumplings soon.
"We'll help too." Everyone wanted to help, so they cleaned and poured water into the pots while the others chopped firewood and packed the things they had used.
Fortunately, the pot was massive, allowing them to put more dumplings in simultaneously. The two big pots were enough for everyone to eat. Although they had made plenty of dumplings, they could also fry the leftovers for tomorrow.
Lin Zheng moved swiftly and started to boil the water. After lighting the fire, he added more firewood to the furnace. The flame grew, making the water boil faster.
Soon, he noticed the lid moving and said, "Master, the water has started boiling."
When Su Binglan heard Lin Zheng's words, she added a plate of dumplings to the pot. Then she looked at the rising steam and smiled. "I didn't expect the water to boil so quickly."
