The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and zongzi has become a hot commodity, especially some time-honored brands, which have become the first choice of consumers.
At noon on June 1, the reporter saw in front of Wang Baohe's restaurant that various varieties of zongzi were placed on the counter, and the citizens who came to buy them were continuous. Traditional large meat dumplings, bean paste dumplings, white rice dumplings, etc. have become the first choice for middle-aged and elderly citizens.
Aunt Zhou, a citizen, told reporters that she likes to eat red bean dumplings and meat dumplings the most, because the red bean dumplings are fragrant, and the meat dumplings are because they rarely ate meat before. I have been to the south and seen the zongzi in Guangdong and Guangxi, where the zongzi are very rich in content, there are broad beans, soybeans, and many ingredients mixed together, very large, two or three people can not eat a zongzi.
In the dim sum operation room, the masters are busy making zongzi. This year, two new products were launched, double egg yolk sausage dumplings and conpoy bacon dumplings, and Wang Baohe increased production efforts to ensure market supply. Wang Bao and executive chef Wang Hao told reporters that the double egg yolk sausage dumplings are quite full, with sausages, salted egg yolks and large meat. The innovative variety of scallop and bacon dumplings is a mixture of scallops, bacon and glutinous rice, and there is a smell of bacon when eaten. "We also have a multigrain mung bean crisp, mung bean crisp is wrapped in mung bean kernels, including barley and glutinous rice, which is quite cool and refreshing to eat."
Wang Baohe also launched a gift box packaging series to facilitate citizens to visit relatives and friends.
At the time-honored Changchun Food Store on Huaihai Middle Road, the traditional Wufangzhai zongzi is the most popular, and various gift boxes and bulk zongzi are also filled with counters.
In order to meet the needs of the public, Changchun also launched a co-branded zongzi this year, and the new dragon ball zongzi is particularly popular, with seven egg yolks in one zongzi.
Ms. Wang, a citizen, told reporters that she bought this dragon ball dumpling when it first came out, and the egg yolk inside was enjoyable and tasted very good. The yolk is very large, all whole, and the glutinous rice is also very glutinous. Gong Jianwei, deputy manager of Changchun Food Store, told reporters that this Dragon Ball dumpling, from the name, you can know that there are seven salted egg yolks in it. The seven salted egg yolks are to satisfy the consumer's need for a strong taste that blends the egg yolk with the fresh meat. There is also a three-treasure zongzi, which contains three ingredients: sausage, fresh meat and egg yolk, and this mixed taste makes the whole zongzi feel more glutinous, more chewy, and the taste is also unique.
As glutinous rice is difficult to digest, some zongzi are high in fat or sugar, so people with poor gastrointestinal function or "three highs" need to be cautious when consuming them.
