When A Zhi was young, he worked as a technician in a factory and shared an office with Lao Gao. Because it is far from home, if it is too late to go home for lunch, I will have a meal at work, sometimes there is a canteen, and sometimes I will bring my own food. Lao Gao is a native of Jiangnan and loves rice, so he steamed rice almost every day.
On the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, when A Zhi brought dinner, he brought two zongzi, one for himself and the other for Lao Gao.
Lao Gao ate the zongzi sent by A Zhi and praised it assiduously. A Zhi told him: "My mother wrapped this according to the custom of our hometown, which is more delicious than that sold in the market."
After dinner, Lao Gao said to A Zhi, "Don't throw zongzi leaves, I am useful." As he spoke, he put all the zongzi leaves in a lunch box and cleaned them.
A Zhi was surprised: Lao Gao said he couldn't make zongzi. What does he want with zongzi leaves?
Lao Gao seemed to see A Zhi's doubts, so he smiled and said to him, "It's still a secret. You will know when I practice. "
At noon the next day, Lao Gao steamed a box of rice as usual, but when he came into the room with a lunch box, A Zhi smelled a familiar smell: Zongzi!
"You also made zongzi?" A Zhi asked 1 curiously.
"Look, this is Zongye rice." Gao said, and opened the lid of the lunch box, and suddenly a smell of zongzi came to the nose. A Zhi saw the rice in the lunch box covered with a layer of zongzi leaves, which turned out to be how Lao Gao used zongzi leaves.
"This method is simple, but the principle is similar to that of zongzi: rice, beans and dates are wrapped in the leaves of zongzi; My zongzi leaf rice is sealed in a lunch box with rice, beans and dates. Both of them have the taste of zongzi. I can't make zongzi. This is called laziness. " Lao Gao explained.
"It is not so much lazy as smart people." A Zhi thought, at the same time, he remembered a famous saying of that philosopher: Most scientific and technological progress in the world is driven by lazy people. This statement makes sense.
