The sky in January and June is blue and deep, friends in June are lively and cheerful, and the weather in June is hot. On the Dragon Boat Festival, we sat on the dragon boat, hung sachets around our necks, tied mugwort braids on our heads and ate delicious zongzi.
On the eve of Dragon Boat Festival, my mother began to make zongzi. Eating zongzi is indispensable in the custom of Dragon Boat Festival. It tastes good and makes people want to eat. The zongzi wrapped by my mother is a paradise food, which is no different from what I bought in the store. Fresh zongzi leaves, a large pot of glutinous rice mixed with soy sauce and delicious meat stuffing are all ready, so it's time to start making zongzi. Mother first folded the leaves of Zongzi into a funnel, grabbed some glutinous rice and spread it evenly under it, then put a piece of meat in the middle. Then spread a layer of glutinous rice. Fold the tail of the leaf and the head of the leaf into a sharp corner. Finally, tie the rope and a small and exquisite zongzi will be wrapped. Seeing that my mother wrapped zongzi quickly and her hands itched, I wanted to have a try. Don't look at me, it's simple, but it's much harder to do. Jiaozi, which I packed, was "fed" a lot, and the glutinous rice "escaped" from the gap of jiaozi leaves; For a while, "hello" is too little, and I haven't "eaten" enough; After a while, the leaves of the zongzi were folded in a mess, and the zongzi was wrapped in strange ways ... I was discouraged and simply quit. My mother saw it and encouraged me to say, "Failure is the mother of success. Don't be discouraged. We will succeed step by step. " After listening to my mother, I feel much better. Under the guidance of my mother and my own efforts, I wrapped all kinds of zongzi one after another.
Mother put zongzi into the pot to cook, and a delicious smell got into my nostrils, which made me drool. Mother took out a zongzi and untied the rope. I gulped it down. Jiaozi, who is eating his own bag, I understand: Do things step by step, don't worry, the more anxious you are, the worse you can do things, just like you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient!
The Dragon Boat Festival is about 500 words, and Erzongzi is the festival food of the Dragon Boat Festival. According to legend, it was invented for the sacrifice of Qu Yuan who threw himself into the river, and it is the traditional food with the deepest cultural accumulation in the history of China.
In previous years, my mother always bought ready-made zongzi in the market or supermarket. This year, I pestered my mother to learn to make dumplings. Mom couldn't beat me and agreed. In the afternoon of the fourth grade, I learned to make zongzi with my mother. Mother took a zongzi leaf and rolled it up with her hand. Zongzi leaves become hollow cones. I took a palm leaf like my mother and tried to roll it into a cone, but it didn't roll well and it was still straight. Mother pointed out after seeing it: "pinch one corner of the leaf with your left hand and roll the other corner of the leaf in with your right hand." Tighten it hard below and relax it above. " Under the guidance of my mother, I rolled the leaves of Zongzi. Then, mother inserted a chopstick into the hollow cone-shaped zongye, took a spoon and put some glutinous rice in it, and then shook the chopsticks evenly until the glutinous rice was wrapped tightly. I also put chopsticks and glutinous rice in the leaves. When you can shake chopsticks, you either prick the leaves of zongzi or the sticky rice is not tightly wrapped. Mother said, "Shake the chopsticks gently and wrap the leaves tightly." . You see ... "Mom said while demonstrating, and I learned while listening. Ha ha! The zongzi I wrapped looks a bit like it. Then the rope. I saw my mother holding the leaves in her hands, winding the rope around the sharp corner of the zongzi twice, tying the rope head, and a beautiful zongzi was wrapped. I also tied the first zongzi. Then, the second, third and fourth ... I made several packages in succession. The last process is to cook zongzi. Put the tied zongzi into the pot one by one, then put cold water until the zongzi is about 1 cm, ignite ... after the water is boiled 15 minutes, change the position of the upper and lower zongzi in the pot, and then cook with slow fire 1 hour. The delicious zongzi is cooked, and I can't wait to taste the fruits of my labor. Ah! That's good.
Through making zongzi this time, I not only ate delicious zongzi, but also learned a truth: to learn a skill well, I must be sincere, careful and persistent, so that I can learn it well.
The Dragon Boat Festival is about 500 words. Dragon Boat Festival is coming. My mother and I learned to make zongzi, taste the delicious "Huang Wu" and taste the custom of Dragon Boat Festival.
I got up early on the Dragon Boat Festival. First, my mother and I planted calamus and wormwood together. My mother told me that the traditions of Dragon Boat Festival include calamus and wormwood, eating zongzi and tasting Huang Wu. On the Dragon Boat Festival, every household should insert calamus and wormwood on the doors and windows to prevent mosquitoes from entering the house. Superstition is that it can ward off evil spirits.
Then, my mother and I make zongzi together. Mother has prepared materials, including palm leaves, glutinous rice and meat. The preparation work is as follows: soak the leaves in clear water for 5-6 days, and then wash them; Cut the string that binds the zongzi into small pieces about two feet long; Cut the washed meat into 2-3 cm square pieces and soak it in soy sauce for one night. Before wrapping zongzi, wash the glutinous rice, drain the water, pour it into a basin, add seasoning and mix well; Soak zongzi leaves and rope in boiling water. Let's start making zongzi. First of all, I took out two zongzi leaves, one end overlapped with the other, and the front of one end was folded into a funnel shape. I put in a small bowl of glutinous rice and meat and compact it. My right hand folded back the leaves of Zongzi outside, wrapped one end, and then finished the other end in the same way. Then tie the wrapped zongzi with a rope. In this way, a zongzi is finished.
When making zongzi, my mother told me that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a statesman and a great poet of Chu during the Warring States Period. In those days, he was exiled repeatedly, so that he was angry and sank into the Miluo River on the fifth day of May. People thought that in order to protect Qu Yuan's body from being eaten by small fish and shrimp, they threw food into the river. Gradually, it evolved into a festival of making zongzi in memory of Qu Yuan.
Shaoxing Dragon Boat Festival also has the custom of eating Huang Wu and proper fruit. The so-called "Huang Wu" refers to eel, yellow croaker, cucumber, yellow peach and yellow rice wine. At noon, my mother prepared these "Huang Wu" and we began to taste them. Of course, we children can't drink! My mother told me that the custom of eating Huang Wu was handed down from the legend of "The Legend of the White Snake".
I like Dragon Boat Festival very much. Today, I tasted delicious food and learned to make zongzi, which increased my understanding of folk customs.
On a sunny day, all the students on campus are making zongzi, because today is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May.
Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China. On this day, people will eat zongzi, make zongzi and race the dragon boat, but our school only has such activities as making zongzi, so we can't go to the dragon boat race. But there is one advantage, that is, we can eat zongzi twice as much. This is because we package one and the school gives one, that is, two.
Let's wrap the zongzi leaves into a cone, then put some glutinous rice and vegetables on the spoon, and then cover the zongzi leaves. But somehow, the disobedient zongzi jumped out of the middle gap. I blocked the gap with my hand, but the rice jumped out again. Oh, my God, how do you pack this? Just when I was worried, the savior came down from the sky and taught us to pack jiaozi. Grandma appeared in front of me.
When she saw that my zongzi would fall, she immediately pointed out the problem to me and said, "You should fold the tip of the cone." I broke the tip of the cone. That's clever. Suddenly, the rice inside became obedient, and not a grain of rice slipped out.
I quickly filled the cone with rice, vegetables and meat.
The next step is to tie zongzi. How can this be tied? I'm worried again. Grandma appeared again, and she taught me how to tie it. I tied it up according to her method: first, put one end of the rope on the leaves of the zongzi, then turn it with the zongzi, then turn the zongzi, and finally fix it, and a zongzi is finished.
I made several more, each one looks better than the other. As a result, I became the king of jiaozi in our school.
Through this incident, I know that making zongzi is a clever and quick thing. Although it looks simple, it is actually a very difficult thing to do.
