And add the appropriate amount of soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, salt, white wine, pickled after a night sending out a light sauce fragrance. These ingredients and fresh leaves and reed ropes are neatly listed on the long table of the staff canteen. It is the site of rice dumplings making. 

Everything is ready, Everyone began to observe and learn from colleagues in advance .

I saw the masters neatly picked up the fresh green reed leaves, slowly fold into a conical funnel, spread a layer of glutinous rice under it first, compact it with a spoon, add a large piece of sauced pork and compact with rice, finally with the tail of the leaves wrapped tightly, tie the knot firmly with a cotton rope, such a beautiful rice dumpling was finished. Others were all eager to have a try. Some made smaller one, some made larger one, some got more skillful, some compared with others. Full of cheerful chatting and laughing.
