Jiaodong Ximo
By KathryneDare
In our local Jiaodong area, if anyone gets married or has children, relatives and friends will make a pot of happy things and send them to the host's home to congratulate them. Nowadays, this custom has been practiced, but most people go to special wedding shops to order wedding spots, and few people make them at home. Because of this joy, it takes at least eighty to a hundred to give away to others. It is too troublesome to steam them one by one at home. Moreover, the requirements for making this wedding point are high, and the dough must be kneaded very hard, so that the steamed wedding points will be strong and delicious.
