The supermarket is full of zongzi, and I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the choices.刘娜: Do you usually prefer sweet or savory food?优子: I like sweet food, but this savory pork zongzi smells really good too.刘娜: Then buy a little of both. In northern China, many people like red bean paste zongzi and red date zongzi, while savory pork zongzi is very common here in Shanghai.优子: I see. I thought there was only one flavor of zongzi.刘娜: Not at all. China is very large, and there are many ways to prepare and eat it. People sometimes jokingly debate whether sweet or savory zongzi tastes better.优子: Then I won't take sides today. I'll buy two red bean paste zongzi and two savory pork zongzi.刘娜: Smart choice. Steam them when you get home and enjoy them slowly. Next time, you can buy more of whichever you like best.
