It will be the Dragon Boat Festival in less than half a month. Every year, people in the north and south will wrap some zongzi at home. Around 340 BC, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and doctor of Chu, faced with the pain of national subjugation, so he appeared on the Baltic River in grief and indignation on May 5. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from harming his health, people will put some rice in bamboo tubes and put it in the river, which will attract many fish and shrimp to eat, so there is the source of zongzi.

With the continuous evolution of food, the leaves of zongzi are also diverse. In addition to the well-known leaves of zongzi, there are four kinds of "leaves" in rural areas that can also be used as zongzi. These six kinds of zongzi leaves also taste fresh. I don't know how many of these four kinds of leaves in the countryside do you know? All right, not much to say. Next, I will share the dry goods directly with you.

Being in the north, I believe everyone is familiar with this reed leaf, right? Generally, this kind of leaves will grow by the river, and they all grow in pieces. In my hometown of Shandong, there are many rural people holding reed leaves to wrap zongzi. Zongzi wrapped in this reed leaf tastes good, too. Moreover, this reed leaf is picked free of charge by the river, but everyone must be careful when picking this reed leaf, and try to pick it in a place with little water. It will be safer this way.

In Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and other places, a large number of banana leaves are growing. So many people in Guangdong and Guangxi will wrap zongzi with banana leaves. Banana leaves are relatively large, and the jiaozi that can be wrapped will be twice as big as ordinary zongzi leaves. I don't know if you have seen zongzi wrapped in banana leaves.

Speaking of lotus leaves, I believe everyone should be familiar with them, but they all say that mud is not sticky and clear is not evil. Lotus leaf is a kind of plant that grows in water, and it has its own fragrance. In our countryside, many rural people who can live will take lotus leaves to steam steamed bread. The steamed bread with lotus leaves is very fragrant, and I miss it every time I go back to my hometown. I wonder if you have eaten lotus leaf steamed bread?

Lotus leaves can be used for many purposes, except steaming steamed bread. You can also make beggar chicken, lotus leaf porridge and other delicacies. How to wrap zongzi with lotus leaves is naturally the most common practice, if you don't know what leaves to wrap zongzi with this year. Try wrapping it in lotus leaves. When wrapping rice dumplings with lotus leaves, you must remember to soak them in light salt water so that the wrapped rice dumplings will not leak rice.

Fresh corn is very common at this time. We can peel its leaves and keep them for jiaozi. Zongzi wrapped in corn leaves will have a fragrant smell of corn. When you keep this corn leaf, you can dry it and store it in a fresh-keeping bag. When in use, take it out directly and soak it in refined salt water for a while and then wrap it.
