The Qingming Festival is approaching, and I have long wanted to make Qingming dumplings myself, but I have no choice but to buy the material needed to make this-Ai Qing. I went to the food market at noon and finally found it. Ai Qing costs 4 yuan a catty. I bought it for 2.5 yuan. I suddenly had the urge to do it immediately...

    When the dumplings are completely cool, brush the surface with a layer of sesame oil and place them in a crisper box. You can go out for an outing... I also brought this box of Qingming dumplings to my ancestors when I went to the tomb during the Qingming Festival. Isn't it also suitable for the occasion?
