Candied Date Zongzi

Overview

Speaking of zongzi, I have to be sentimental for a while. The year before last was the first time that I taught netizens how to make zongzi as a food instructor. The night before, I walked four streets to buy red dates and sago in Wumart Supermarket. I also went to the farmer's market to buy large yellow rice, round glutinous rice, zongzi leaves and blood glutinous rice. I planned to make a few different ones. Although I usually pack a pack, I don’t pay much attention to the appearance and it’s not that pretty, so I downloaded a video to watch it at night, then soaked a few ingredients and prepared it a little. Early the next morning, I went to find a table in the corner of the No. 1 cafeteria and took pictures while wrapping rice dumplings. Many aunties in the cafeteria came to learn the art on the spot. Haha~ I borrowed a good friend's SLR camera and went to the big rooftop of the girls' dormitory to take a set. I also went to the second floor of the canteen where almost no one went but the table was very beautiful to take a set. I was reading Yuan Mei's "Suiyuan Food List" at the time and used it as a prop~ Two years have passed in a flash. The rice dumplings I have eaten are divided into different categories, but there are only a few types of rice dumplings that I like. Candied date rice dumplings are the top favorite. No matter what novel styles and novel fillings, the old-fashioned rice dumplings are the most lovable and I can never get tired of eating them. I've watched "The Incredibles" many times, and the sentence that impressed me the most is noschoolislikeoldschool. Yes, no matter how good the game is, it can't compare to the old school.
