Last year, at the Dragon Boat Festival, my grandmother taught me a craft to embroider sachets. First of all, my grandmother showed me the sachet: the traditional sachet in China is mostly made of silk, which contains realgar, smoked grass, mugwort leaves and other spices. It appeared as early as 3,000 years ago and can repel mosquitoes. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits. After a brief understanding of sachets, we started work.
First, cut a rectangular piece of cloth and draw a line on the back of the cloth, 0.7 cm away from the edge of the cloth. The drawn line is the stitch that needs to be sewn. After that, fold the cloth in half and spread it out, put the hanging rope obliquely and reversely at the folding line, then start sewing from the hanging rope according to the drawn outline, and finish sewing with an L shape, which becomes an open small bag.

Through the people who kept coming and going, a unique fragrance of the Dragon Boat Festival sachet floated into my nostrils. Looking for it along the scent, I saw an old man with hale and hearty spirit, who stood beside a tricycle full of various sachets and carefully compiled a hydrangea sachet. It's probably her daughter standing on the other side of the car greeting business. She is introducing sachets with different styles and fine workmanship to customers who buy sachets, praising the old lady's craftsmanship and the purity and naturalness of the spices contained in the sachets.
In particular, the exquisite Chinese zodiac sachet and the ridiculous leg-pulling doll sachet are unbearable to put down when you hold them in your hand. Smell it. It's the pure herbal fragrance.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival, I had a holiday with my grandfather, because my parents were too busy to come back for reunion. Grandma left us for many years. Over the years, grandpa and I have lived together, and our family is not rich, but we have lived happily. Grandpa is also proud of having such an obedient grandson as me, and tells everyone. But when it comes to my busy study, there is nothing he can do. Fortunately, my grandfather's advice was affirmed by my father, and he found me a tutor to make up for my shortcomings in study.
