I haven't eaten a few meals of rice since my mother's house and always eat noodles, but my son also likes noodles. When the weather is hot, I don’t have any steamed buns and I go to a bun store to buy them. I steamed two pots of steamed buns, one of which was a small octopus-shaped bun, which was specially made for him. My son liked it very much. He just ate one after he got out of the pot, haha"
