In the production of rice paper by Truong Tien people, the drying process is very important. Because if the weather is too sunny, the rice paper will be crispy and easily broken, if the weather is too dry, the rice paper will not be exposed to sunlight, will not be fragrant, and the quality will not be good.

For example, the family of Ms. Pham Thi Ly (born in 1970) has maintained the traditional rice vermicelli making profession for nearly 10 years. Ms. Ly's family's vermicelli products mainly serve regular customers, so they sell out as soon as they are made. Rice vermicelli is also a favorite dish of many people during holidays and Tet.
