"What is vermicelli? I've never heard of it!"
"I'll teach you how to do it, but it'll take some effort!" Qibao said.
Uncle Xu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave the hard work to us!"
Qibao took out a pile of potatoes from the warehouse and asked grandma and the others to wash the potatoes. Then he asked his uncle to chop them into small pieces.

Wang put the potato starch kneaded by her into the wooden basin. She saw the starch flowing out from the small holes at the bottom of the basin, becoming thinner as it went down. Qibao was quite satisfied.
