Zongzi
A delicious food

9. As time goes on, zongzi becomes the traditional food for
the Gragon Boat Festival.It's a glutinous rice ball,wapped
in corn leaves. In my hometown, there is no feelings in
zongzi,it's only or a glutinous rice ball, we eat it with
white granulated sugar and it's delicious.
