　　Puyi Fragrant Zongzi

　　Puyi Fragrant Zongzi is known for its soft, glutinous, and fragrant qualities. Back when General Secretary [name redacted] visited Yongning for an inspection, local residents warmly welcomed him with these zongzi. The preparation method is highly meticulous: the fat pork belly is deboned, washed, sliced into strips, and marinated with seasonings for half a day. High-quality glutinous rice is thoroughly washed, soaked, and drained. Several pieces of bamboo leaves are spread out, a suitable amount of glutinous rice is placed in them, a groove is made in the center, and sweetened mung bean paste is added. A strip of fatty pork is laid on top, followed by another layer of mung beans, then covered with more glutinous rice to encase the filling. The zongzi is then wrapped, with the middle slightly protruding, and finally tied with zongzi string before being boiled in hot water for about half a day.

　　The fragrant zongzi can be tasted at the Yongning Guesthouse Food City and the Yongning Mall in Puyi Town.
