The essay on learning to make hometown zongzi in grade one is as follows:

My hometown is Yixing, which is a pearl at the junction of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui provinces. It is known as "the oasis of tea", "the ancient capital of pottery", "the world of caves" and "the ocean of bamboo".

The scenery here is refreshing, but among many large and small scenery in Yixing, I prefer it-Niuniu Mountain. Niuniu Mountain is located in a small town called Zhangzhu in the southwest of Yixing.

when it comes to the calf hill, the name has a strange origin: although it is not as famous and towering as Mount Tai and Huashan, it has nothing to do with the surrounding mountains, and it becomes a mountain independently. It looks like a lying calf. This lovely calf seems to be sleeping, eating grass and watching something casually, so the older generation named it "calf hill".

standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, the steps winding up to the top of the mountain, the ancient trees on both sides of the stone steps are towering, and occasionally I can see the clever little squirrel jumping from one tree to another, and then disappeared from my sight in a blink of an eye. Climb to the top of the mountain and you will find a hole. Some people say it's a snake hole, while others say it's a bomb shelter. It's very mysterious. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, the whole town has a panoramic view.

not only the scenery here is charming, but also there are ancient customs. Whenever the Dragon Boat Festival comes, every household makes zongzi, which is made of glutinous rice and reed leaves. Put bacon in glutinous rice, wrap it with reed leaves layer by layer, and then tie it with fine cotton thread, and a swaggering zongzi will be completed.

Put the wrapped zongzi into the pot one by one and boil them in water. After almost half an hour, the pot can no longer hide its fragrance.

You can smell the fragrance of zongzi leaves from a distance, making the children around you drool. At this time, the whole Yixing was immersed in the fragrance of zongzi.

How about our hometown? Isn't it interesting? Action is better than action. Come and be a guest in my hometown!
