In Beian sub-district, Qingdao's Jimo, there is a generations-old handmade craft of dough sculpture known as Wangsuzhuang flower-patterned steamed buns. As the Spring Festival approaches, it's now the peak sales season for these steamed buns, with more and more orders being made.

Long Wenjuan, a villager from Nanlongbu village in Beian Beian sub-district, is the fifth-generation inheritor of Wangsuzhuang flower-patterned steamed buns. Approaching the Spring Festival, Long Wenjuan's bun shop is particularly busy, with the family rushing to make dough sculptures for customers' weddings.

Due to their beauty and novelty, many customers choose to order these buns for senior's birthdays, baby's 100th day celebrations, weddings, and business openings. Flower-patterned steamed buns have become one of the flagship products in Long's shop.
