The rounded end was placed below, and then a cross was drawn on the top.

If the opening was a little deeper, the flower that bloomed after being steamed would be a little bigger.

The dough could also be made into a tri-colored mantou without blooming, which was easy to make.

Jiang Yue asked Li Hehua to roll the three-colored dough into slices. Then, the three-colored slices were stacked on top of each other, and the edges were trimmed. After that, the slices were rolled up.

It had to be rolled up tightly. Then, she cut them into the shape of steamed buns.

It looked small when it was cut, but once it was steamed, it would become big.

The rice noodle buns were steamed first. Although no meat was added, Liu Guixia and the others had never eaten the filling before, so they all said it was delicious.

After the dumplings were steamed, the skin of the dumplings was chewy and elastic. It also looked very smooth, which was a little different from the dumpling skin in town, which was directly made of flour.

When the tri-colored mantou were made, they would look really good and taste really sweet.

In fact, eating these for breakfast was more than enough, but there was still porridge in the small pot. It was perfect to eat this, drink the porridge, and eat the salted vegetables.

After breakfast, Xue Erhu drove the carriage to the entrance of his house to wait for Jiang Yue. He was going to bring Jiang Yue to the town to find Xue Sihu. Naturally, he would also bring the dumplings, mantou, and buns she made in the morning.

Of course, she also brought the other purple sweet potato at home.

She even brought a large bag of sun-dried potato starch.

Not only did she have to find Xue Sihu and show him, but she also had to teach He Jinshan and Li Qingshu’s mothers how to make these things. They could buy the ingredients in other towns, but they couldn’t buy purple sweet potatoes and potato starch.

Xue Yan was with Jiang Yue, the older one had to take care of the younger one. Since Jiang Yue was going to town, Xue Yan would naturally follow her.

Jiang Yue also felt that she had more freedom when Xue Yan was around, because her family thought that Xue Yan would look after her, so they didn’t care too much about her safety. When Xue Yan was not around, the adults in the family would always keep an eye on her, afraid that she would go missing or kidnapped.

Jiang Yue looked at Xue Yan without anyone saying anything.

Xue Yan packed up his things and got on the carriage.

When Xue Sihu saw Jiang Yue’s mantou, dumplings, and buns, he didn’t care if he was hungry or not. He immediately got someone to heat them up and tried them.

As he tasted it, he nodded. “This rice bun is delicious. I’ve never eaten a bun with this filling before. Jiang Yue, you’re the one with the idea. If everyone knew that rice noodles could be used as filling in buns and that it was quite delicious, those bun sellers would come to our shop to buy dry rice noodles too.”

“The dumpling skin with potato starch is also very chewy.” Xue Sihu said.

Jiang Yue said, “If you want to sell dumplings with this kind of skin, you’d better change the filling. Don’t use the same filling as the steamed buns.”

“Sure, sure.” Xue Sihu happily agreed. Immediately after, he said happily, “This is great. Potato starch can be added to the flour to make dumpling skins. Moreover, the amount added is not much. Then, won’t the potato starch in the house last for a longer time? This is more cost-effective than directly making it into vermicelli and selling it. Plus… This steamed bun, only our family has purple sweet potatoes, and we didn’t add much of that either! What a way to cut costs.”

Jiang Yue looked at the tri-colored mantou she made and said, “When you’re making it, you can also choose to match the three colors. Now, from the inside to the outside, it’s yellow, purple, then white. You can switch between these three colors. It depends on which color you think is better..”
