We have glutinous rice at home, Lin Wan went to town to buy some red dates. Candied dates taste even better, but they're too expensive and require ration tickets. So just wrap some red dates inside.
Made more than fifty the first time.
After the zongzi were cooked, Lin Wan got up before dawn the next day, changed into a loose set of clothes, deliberately to hide her figure. She originally had a single braided pigtail but now styled it into two large braids. When you're out, a young girl shouldn't stand out too much.
After a simple breakfast, she carried the ready-made zongzi and prepared to go to a village two or three villages away. It wasn't until past ten when she arrived.
As soon as she entered the village, Lin Wan cleared her throat and started calling out to sell. Initially, she felt embarrassed, but once she let go of her voice, she didn't feel shy anymore.
"How much for one?" asked a young woman from the village holding a child.
