Shen Xue Ning said to Shen Bao Hong: "How about making Qingtuan and selling it?"

Shen Baohong immediately understood what Shen Xuening meant: "Okay, I totally agree, Qingtuan is really delicious."

Shen Xue Ning nodded: "That's settled, add Qingtuan."

After so long, the factory's business has stabilized and it's time to increase the variety of food.

After confirming what she was thinking, Shen Xue Ning followed her grandmother to see the process of making Qingtuan. Since she had decided to increase the number of Qingtuan, she must understand it. Now was a good opportunity.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, grandma turned around and a look of surprise flashed across her eyes: "Ningning, you're here?"

Shen Xuening walked to her grandmother's side and said, "Grandma, I want to learn how to make Qingtuan from you."

"Sure." Grandma responded very straightforwardly, "I'll pick some mouse-ear grass and make you some qingtuan later. You just stay aside and watch."

Shen Xue Ning said: "I don't just want to watch, I want to learn how to do it."

Grandma smiled and said, "That's fine. I'll teach you when the time comes."

Shen Xuening smiled: "Okay."

Then the two of them picked mouse-ear grass on the medicine mountain together. The mouse-ear grass was the most tender around the Qingming Festival. The medicine mountain was irrigated with spiritual spring water, so even though it was diluted, it still grew very well.

Shen Xue Ning imitated her grandmother and cut off the tenderest tip of the mouse-ear grass, then put it in the backpack: "Grandma, should we pick a lot?"

Grandma said, "Well, there are so many people. I'm thinking of making more so that everyone can eat some later."

Shen Xuening nodded: "Okay."

An hour later, grandma looked into the backpack and said, "It's almost done, Ningning, you can go home now."

Shen Xue Ning looked forward to it: "Okay."

She picked up the backpack and followed her grandmother down the mountain, heading straight to the canteen.

"Sister Xue Ning..."

"Ning Ning..."

When they arrived at the cafeteria, everyone greeted Shen Xue Ning. The constant sound of greetings showed Shen Xue Ning's prestige among everyone.

Shen Xuening nodded, followed her grandmother to the back kitchen, and put the backpack on the sink.

Grandma came over and poured the mouse-ear grass into the sink, preparing to wash it.

Aunt Liu Yun came over and asked curiously, "Mom, where did you pick the mouse-ear grass? It's so tender."

Grandma brought a large colander and placed it on the basin: "I picked them from the mountain where Ningning grows medicinal herbs. Not only is the mouse-ear grass tender, but other grasses are tender as well. In addition to mouse-ear grass, there are many wild vegetables."

Liu Yun thought for a moment and said, "Are there any more? I want to pick some and send them to Qiulian's grandmother."

Grandma paused: "Does she want it?"

Liu Yun nodded: "Well, there are mouse-ear grasses at home, but they are not so tender, so I want to pick some and take them home."

Grandma said, "Go pick them in the mountains. There are still a lot of them there. You can't pick them all."

Liu Yun said: "Then I will go pick them this afternoon."

Grandma turned around and asked Shen Xue Ning: "Ning Ning, what kind of filling do you like? Sweet? Or salty?"

Shen Xue Ning asked curiously: "Are there many kinds of fillings for Qingtuan?"

Grandma said gently and kindly: "Yes, you can make it sweet or savory, depending on which one you like."

Shen Xue Ning thought for a moment and said, "Then let's make two flavors."

Grandma happily said, "Okay, make two flavors, and you can eat whichever you like when the time comes."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Grandma, I will do it with you."

"Okay." Grandma liked Shen Xue Ning very much and would obey her in any situation. "Then let's process the mouse-ear grass first, and then start preparing the stuffing."

Shen Xuening said "hmm" and started studying attentively.

Grandma washed the mouse-ear grass three times, then cleaned the big iron pot, added half a pot of water into the pot, boiled the water, put oil and salt into the pot, and after the oil melted, put the mouse-ear grass into the boiling water and boiled it for three minutes, then took out the mouse-ear grass.

Then put the mouse-ear grass into the machine and beat it into mouse-ear grass paste, then set it aside.

Grandma went to get the wheat starch, kneaded it with boiling water, and kneaded the wheat starch into a smooth dough. Then she put the glutinous rice flour in a large bowl, put sugar and cooking oil in it, added some baking soda, mixed them all, and then used mouse-ear grass paste to knead the dough.

Shen Xue Ning asked: "Grandma, why do you need to add baking soda?"

Grandma explained: "This way the color of the qingtuan will be greener and more beautiful."

Shen Xue Ning said: "I understand."

A few minutes later, grandma kneaded the dough into a ball of green dough, which looked pretty. "Ningning, how is it? Doesn't it look good?"

Shen Xue Ning answered sincerely: "It looks good."

Grandma smiled and said, "It will look even better when it's steamed, and it will taste better too."

Shen Xue Ning couldn't help but look forward to it even more: "Grandma's cooking skills are impeccable. I've eaten her cooking more than once and have never been disappointed."

Grandma was very happy and said: "You are so sweet."

As she spoke, grandma began to prepare the filling for the dumplings.

She took some peanuts, and she and Shen Xue Ning peeled the shells of the peanuts together, and then put the peanuts in the pan to fry.

Fry the peanuts and then the black sesame seeds. After they are cooked, rub off the cooled peanut skins and crush them together with the black sesame seeds in the machine.

Pour the crushed peanuts and black sesame seeds into a bowl, add white sugar, honey, cooking oil and glutinous rice flour, mix them well, and then knead them into a ball with your hands.

Shen Xue Ning asked: "Grandma, why do you need to add glutinous rice flour?"

Grandma smiled and explained: "When you knead the dough, it can be glued together, so it will be convenient to wrap the green dumplings later."

Shen Xuening nodded to show that she understood.

Then grandma started to prepare the salty filling - sausage, lotus root and carrot filling: cut the sausage, lotus root, mushrooms, carrots and other ingredients into small pieces, stir-fry them, and add seasoning to make the filling.

Shen Xue Ning stood aside and watched her grandma frying stuffing. The rich aroma penetrated her nose, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva: "Grandma, it smells so good."

Grandma smiled and said, "That's right, I've been making Qingtuan since I was a child. This is my specialty."

Shen Xue Ning smiled: "Grandma has many specialties."

After frying the stuffing, grandma put it into a large bowl, used chopsticks to separate the stuffing, and let it cool down as quickly as possible.

Shen Xuening took out a fan and fanned the stuffing to cool it down. After a while, she put the stuffing in the freezer to cool it down faster so that it would be easier to wrap later.

Grandma mixed the dough made from wheat starch into the glutinous rice dough. During this process, she kneaded the dough for a while until it was smooth.

Shen Xue Ning said: "Grandma, do you need my help?"

Grandma waved her hand: "No, grandma can do it, you just watch."

After mixing the two kinds of dough perfectly together, grandma went to get the sweet filling and prepared to make the green rice balls.
