The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and everyone is starting to get busy. Mother and grandma first took out the soaked glutinous rice, then began to clean the rice dumpling leaves, and then they were ready to start making rice dumplings.
"Mom, I don't know how to make zongzi yet. Can you teach me how to make zongzi?" I begged. "Okay, making zongzi is pretty simple anyway, I'll teach you!" Mom readily agreed to my request. "However, it is very difficult to wrap at the beginning. You must be patient. No, first tie the rice dumpling leaves into a cone shape; remember, it must be tied very tightly so that the rice will not leak out. Then put the glutinous rice down , if you like to eat red date rice dumplings, you can also put a few small red dates in it and cook them together, then cover the opening of the rice dumpling with a piece of rice dumpling leaf; then tie the rice dumpling tightly with a thin string or cut leaves. It’s done!” Mom said to me carefully.
I don’t know why, Zongzi, who was a "good girl" in front of my mother, turned into a "naughty egg" in front of me. No matter how I did it, it didn’t listen to me, and I was so angry that I really wanted to go crazy. Give it a scolding. Finally, after a lot of effort, I finally made a rice dumpling with the help of my mother. Although it didn't look good, it was the best one I made. .
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother brought me a five-thread rope and told me not to break it or break it. It can only be picked up after the first rain after the Dragon Boat Festival. Come down. It is said that the five-color rope represents the five-color dragon, which can subdue demons and drive away diseases.
After finishing the work in the morning, today’s protagonist appears - white and tender rice dumplings dipped in white sugar. They are sweet, sticky, white and fragrant, and delicious!
Eat on May 5th, the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi, dragon boat playing in the water, joyful... I love the Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown
