The Dragon Boat Festival, a festival full of joy, arrives every year as scheduled.Every Dragon Boat Festival, grandma will start working a few days in advance to prepare the ingredients for making zongzi:sticky rice, red dates, salted egg yolks...
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival,a beam of sun shone through the window,casting a gorgeous shadow on the wooden table.Wearing an apron and taking out the preparations,grandma was ready to wrap the delicacies.
Sweet scent wafted through the window and pulled me out of my dreams.I rubbed my eyes and came to kitchen to have a clear look.As I was staring at grandma with curiosity,I found these ingredients were dancing in her hands, as if they were also looking forward to the upcoming festival.
I became very interested in that and offered to help.However,“It is easier look than done”I tried to make it the way my grandmother did, but I always couldn't wrap it tightly enough. The fillings were so mischievous that they liked to sneak out from the reed leaves.Nevertheless,under the patient guidance of grandma , and some of my multiple relentless attempts, I finally succeeded creating...maybe a weird zongzi.
With all wrapped, grandma put them into a hot pot. It didn't take long before the appealing sweet aroma spread to the whole house.
Then came the most exciting moment--taste the decent cuisine.I was in high peak of ecstasy when I gave sticky rice a huge bite,and it was melting in my mouth.Next bite I tasted the red dates, as you can not imagine how sweet they were!I felt I was in the food paradise.
The Dragon Boat Festival has become an indispensable part of my life. The experience of making zongzi and tasting it has become precious wealth and the best memory in my heart!
