Zongzi — sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves — are eaten by millions during China’s annual Dragon Boat Festival.Well-known brand Wu Fang Zhai opened their factory in 1921. The factory uses 1,400 tons of bamboo leaves each year,and produces more than 300 million zongzi in one year,or about 100,000 per day on average.The fastest workers can wrap 3,000 zongzi in a single day.Each zongzi takes 10 seconds at most to wrap.
