Dragon boat festival composition

Dumplings are being sold in the streets again, and the Dragon Boat Festival is coming. When I was a child, Dragon Boat Festival was associated with Zongzi. Far from expecting, I didn't understand the special significance of the Dragon Boat Festival at all. I only know that you can eat delicious zongzi as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival arrives. There is such a simple and sufficient reason that the Dragon Boat Festival can make children look forward to it.

Eating zongzi at home has become a distant memory, and it will float up slowly every Dragon Boat Festival and live in my mind. My mother was born in a mountainous area with an average altitude of 1000 meters. There is no paddy field there, and there is no glutinous rice at home. There are leaves wrapped in zongzi everywhere. According to my mother, when I was a child, every Spring Festival, my grandmother would make a big bowl of rice cakes, which could be baked when I was warming myself around the stove in winter. Eating glutinous rice is a luxury. Or a gift from a relative during the New Year. Without relatives who grow paddy fields, it is almost impossible to eat food made of glutinous rice. Since eating Ciba is a rare thing, don't think about eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival. Grandma doesn't package jiaozi for her mother, and her mother naturally can't package jiaozi's craft. When I was a child, there were some paddy fields at home, and glutinous rice was also planted, but in addition to making a small amount of rice cakes on the eve of the Spring Festival, glutinous rice was stewed when there were guests, and glutinous rice was also a delicious food when I was a child.

Another year is Dragon Boat Festival, and my brother-in-law revealed a secret to me: he can make zongzi. It seems that you can enjoy sweet zongzi at home without leaving home.

My brother-in-law is very good at making zongzi. Not only is it very fast, but he can also make many patterns, such as pentagonal zongzi, inverted petunias and small pagodas ... I can't remember them all. Mother picked fresh Indocalamus leaves from five or six miles away from home and washed them with water. The glutinous rice was soaked in water in advance, and the brother-in-law took on the task of making zongzi alone. I have also learned to make dumplings, but either the leaves are rolled too loosely, or the palm leaves of Zongzi are not tied tightly, or they are not shaped at all. It makes people laugh, but I'm never ashamed. Tie the wrapped zongzi into a string and cook them in a pot. When zongzi smells delicious, open the lid, take it out with chopsticks and peel it while it is hot. Now, the scene of a family sitting around eating zongzi is still in sight.

Later, I studied abroad. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the school cafeteria often sold zongzi, but I was reluctant to spend money on it. Two zongzi are one meal! Some students asked, but they just prevaricated that they were not interested in eating zongzi in their hometown, or that they were not interested in zongzi. In fact, there are a lot of sadness in my heart that I don't want to show in front of my classmates to cover it up. However, the school also held a Dragon Boat Festival party, mainly including jiaozi. Some girls in the class have good skills, and Bao jiaozi can get by. On that occasion, you should pretend to be gentle, especially don't lose face and make people laugh in front of girls or teachers.

The zongxiang of the Dragon Boat Festival has been floating, leisurely and never stopped. Soon after work, the grain and oil market was liberalized and fresh glutinous rice could be bought at any time. And I made my mom eat jiaozi. Obviously, my mother was embarrassed, but she never turned me down. It's sad to see my mother wrap zongzi in a clumsy and rough hand. Most of the zongzi wrapped by my mother are shapeless and not beautiful, but they taste particularly fragrant. After several years, my mother's skill in making zongzi has also improved a little. Sometimes she doesn't go home for the Dragon Boat Festival because of work, and she will send or entrust others to bring me dumplings wrapped by her own hands. Every time, I have tasted a deep maternal love from it.

The fragrance of zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival has been floating for thousands of years! A person, a river; A village, a culture; A wisp of memory, a cavity of attachment. There is no dragon boat race, only long shouts in the streets. The ancient commemorative activities, together with a simple thought and a ray of pure feelings, all blend in with the thick fragrance of the Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi and float leisurely.
