Historical origin:
As many elderly people in Shanghai know, fresh meat pies were first popular in the gang diet on the beach. In 1930s and 1940s, there were many gangs in Shanghai. Among these gangs, we are familiar with Xu Wenqiang and Li Ding, and then we are familiar with Ashan and Qiao Zhong. In the era of Li Ding and Xu Wenqiang, the custom of eating big cakes on the beach continued, which is now fresh meat moon cakes!
Exquisite production:
In order to make fresh meat moon cakes more delicious, cell phones will kiss the automatic chef on the Bund in Shanghai and make some big cakes when they get together on the beach. The whole production process needs the best spring water, the best wheat flour and the best leek, garlic, star anise pepper and so on.
In the process of supervising baking, we also need enough heat to adapt to the medium fire, and there will be other personnel to help us prevent any omission! Pay special attention to the fine craftsmanship! At the same time, in order to take care of many female friends or their female families, they added another process, that is, adding fresh meat or special sausages to the cake to make it more delicious, and then seasoning it with mustard oil!
Outdoor publicity:
At that time, the workshop of fresh meat moon cakes was also indoors. Because of the smoky fire and choking fumes, the workshop of fresh meat moon cakes was later set up outdoors, which is the outdoor environment like fried dough sticks and fried cakes that are common in Northeast China! There are two purposes. On the one hand, it is to get rid of the lampblack and let the chef do things in an orderly way. On the other hand, of course, it is to attract everyone's attention, let people in the neighborhood or farther away smell the fragrance or, uh, follow passers-by to buy moon cakes!
Shanghai fresh meat moon cakes can be widely circulated, and there is indeed a very unique process. Wonderful design has to surprise us!
