Feeling down, I rode around for a treat,
Recalling a place someone had told me about.
A small shop by the roadside,
With a sign that says "Zongzi Expert."

At the end of Changrong Road, Section Five,
A tiny storefront by the street,
Its name: Zongzi Expert,
With a red "double happiness" sign above.

A single zongzi costs twenty yuan,
Add a bowl of miso soup for ten more.
Quite tasty, not bad at all,
It rivals the famous shops.

Just a quick scribble for your reference,
I haven't written poems in a while.
Consider this a celebration of the new moderator,
Hoping for big changes here.
