In the past two years, every time the Dragon Boat Festival comes, I have bought rice dumplings in advance, prepared glutinous rice, dates, beans and other ingredients, and made some rice dumplings for relatives and friends. They also like them very much and repeatedly praised the rice dumplings I made are delicious! Not only can you eat with peace of mind, but you can eat more happily! There is still a month before the Dragon Boat Festival, and everyone is looking forward to the rice dumplings I make! Hehe, this year's Dragon Boat Festival, as usual, we can't let everyone down. Let's take action as soon as possible!
