While they were talking, several people who had bought Qingtuan walked past them. They ate as they walked, and the aroma wafted out, arousing everyone's appetite.

A tourist called out to a sister who was eating qingtuan (a type of rice dumpling) and asked, "Sister, are the qingtuan (a type of rice dumpling) delicious?"

My sister paused and smiled, "It's delicious, especially delicious. It's rare to have such delicious Qingtuan. You will know when you eat it later."

The tourist swallowed his saliva and asked: "What flavor do you eat?"

My sister looked at the qingtuan in her hand and said, "It's salty, with sausage, lotus root, and carrot fillings. This is the first time I've eaten this flavor, and it's amazing."

After hearing her words, the tourist became even more greedy: "Thank you, sister."

My sister waved her hand: "You're welcome."

The tourist looked ahead and saw that there were still a dozen or so people, but the number was decreasing rapidly and it would soon be his turn.

After waiting patiently for a few minutes, the tourist finally arrived: "I want one salty and one sweet." After saying that, she immediately scanned the code with her mobile phone and paid.

The staff put the two Qingtuan into two plastic bags and said, "Welcome to come again."

"Okay." The tourist responded casually, then left the line with the Qingtuan.

As soon as she left, she took a bite of the qingtuan.

With just one bite, she knew what deliciousness was. She had eaten Qingtuan before, but none of them tasted as good as the one in her hand.

"I want to buy some for my family." The tourist ate the green rice dumplings and walked away slowly.

In the next few days, the Qingtuan became popular among tourists. People in the village and surrounding villages also tasted the Qingtuan, but the people in the village were reluctant to spend money, so only a few of them got to eat it.

Shen Box came back from school excitedly: "Grandma, give me three yuan, I want to buy some qingtuan to eat."

Shen Bo's grandmother was reluctant to spend money. When she heard that Shen Bo wanted to eat Qingtuan, she made some herself: "Grandma made Qingtuan for you."

Shen Bo's eyes lit up: "Grandma, you are so kind."

The two walked into the kitchen together. Grandma Shen Bo opened the lid and a fragrant aroma filled the air: "So many Qingtuan, enough for you to eat?"

"Yeah." Shen Bo nodded, then went to get chopsticks and a bowl and put a green dumpling into the bowl.

With great anticipation, Shen Bo took a bite of the green rice dumpling in the bowl.

He had eaten the green rice dumplings made by his grandmother with Shen Wenxu before, and he remembered clearly how delicious the green rice dumplings were. He thought his grandmother's dumplings were equally delicious, so he ate them with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, once he took a sip, the taste was so different that he paused.

Grandma Shen Bo was puzzled: "What happened? Did your tooth fall out?"

Shen Bo spat out the qingtuan in his mouth: "Your qingtuan is not soft enough, and the filling is not fragrant enough. It is not delicious at all."

He put the bowl on the stove in angrily and refused to eat.

Shen Bo's grandmother thought Shen Bo was in a bad mood because she had not given him money to buy food. "What's wrong with this Qingtuan? I think it's delicious."

Shen Bo glanced at his grandmother and said with some disappointment: "That's because you haven't eaten the green rice balls made by Grandma Wenxu. They are delicious."

Grandma Shen Bo was a little angry: "Are you trying to pick a fight on purpose?"

Shen Bo looked helpless: "Grandma, I'm not, I'm telling the truth, if you don't believe me, go and try it yourself."

Grandma Shen Bo took a Qingtuan and took a bite: "I won't taste it, I made it very delicious."

Shen Bo reached out to his grandmother and said stubbornly: "It's really not delicious. Give me money and I'll buy it myself."

Shen Bo's grandmother slapped Shen Bo's hand away: "We have it at home, buy whatever you want, do you think money is easy to make?"

"Hmph!" Shen Bo walked out angrily and refused to eat the green rice dumplings made by her grandmother.

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat." Grandma Shen Bo didn't spoil him. If he didn't want to eat, then don't eat. She ate by herself.

Shen Bo walked out of the kitchen and sat down on the steps at the door angrily, sulking there.

People were coming and going passing by his house. He looked at those people with eyes full of envy. Those people were holding green dumplings in their hands, eating as they walked, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"How can I eat Qingtuan?" Shen Bo started thinking.

I feel embarrassed to ask Wenxu for more as my pocket money will not be distributed until next Monday, but I really want to eat Qingtuan.

As he was thinking, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Shen Bo ran back home, picked up the basket, and trotted up the mountain.

"Shen Bo, why are you here?" Shen Xue Ning was sorting wolfberries there. When she saw Shen Bo coming over with a basket, she was a little puzzled.

"Sister, I'm here to pick some mouse-ear grass." Shen Bo looked up and walked towards a place where mouse-ear grass was growing lushly.

"Why are you picking mouse-ear grass?" Shen Xue Ning asked curiously.

"Sell it to you." Shen Bo said simply.

"Are you short of money?" Shen Xue Ning laughed.

"Yeah." Shen Bo nodded, quite honestly, "So I plan to be self-reliant." He suddenly thought of something, "Big sister, the cafeteria still collects mouse-ear grass, right?"

"Go and pick them. Choose the tender ones." Shen Xue Ning thought Shen Bo was a good guy and knew how to make money on his own.

"Yeah, I know." Shen Bo nodded and slowly walked away.

……

Shen Bo picked a full basket of mouse-ear grass. It was already dark by then, so he carried the mouse-ear grass down the mountain and went to the canteen.

There is someone in the cafeteria who is responsible for purchasing mouse-ear grass, but she is helping in the cafeteria now, not at the door.

Shen Bo stood in front of the purchase sign, looked around, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Is it time to get off work? I can only come back to sell tomorrow?"

He was a little reluctant, he wanted to sell it quickly and then buy some green rice dumplings.

Coincidentally, Shen Xue Ning came to eat after finishing her work and saw Shen Bo again: "Shen Bo, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Shen Xue Ning, Shen Bo's eyes lit up: "Sister, I want to sell these mouse-ear grasses. Can you buy them? I really need money."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "Okay, pour the mouse-ear grass into the plastic basket on the scale and I'll weigh it for you."

Shen Bo happily did as he was told: "Thank you, big sister."

"You're welcome." Shen Xue Ning checked the scale. "It's five pounds and nine ounces. I'll give you six pounds."

"Sister, you are so nice." Shen Bo was very happy.

Shen Xuening gave the money to Shen Bo: "Take it."

"Thank you, big sister." Shen Bo picked up the basket and went to the cafeteria. He could finally eat Qingtuan.

He was lucky enough to buy the last two green dumplings.

Shen Bo had a look of satisfaction while eating the Qingtuan he had been dreaming of. This Qingtuan was really delicious. However, he only ate one and took the remaining one back to his grandmother.

Grandma Shen Bo looked at the green rice dumpling in front of her, puzzled: "What does it mean?"
