During the Dragon Boat Festival, eating zongzi is a common custom regardless of region. People working in the mountains, far away from their homes, don't get the chance to enjoy the festive zongzi. If their shop made zongzi for sale during the Dragon Boat Festival, they would surely turn a good profit.
"That works," Lian Shouxin and Lady Zhang said in unison.
Although eating zongzi is a common tradition, the zongzi eaten in the south and north differ. In the south, most people eat white rice zongzi, which is made with glutinous rice. But in the north, it's different. For instance, in Thirty Mile Camp where Lian Manman lived, there was no production of rice, let alone glutinous rice. Although wealthy families might buy glutinous rice to make zongzi for the festival, most tenant farmers, including town residents, ate zongzi made with millet.
