The next day.
Jiang Yuan cooped up at home, making zongzi with the villagers.
In Jiang Village, the meat-filled zongzi are the specialty, boasting generous portions of both meat and filling, with meticulously selected rice. Overall, they're rather tasty. Especially the newly wrapped meat zongzi, once freshly boiled, they're truly fragrant and rich in flavor.
Compared to the northern zongzi, renowned for their light and refreshing taste, southern-style zongzi tend to pursue a more complex flavor profile. In this respect, there seems to be a reversal of characteristics between the north and the south.
