In p>1915, 12-year-old Guan Jixing and 11-year-old Guan Jicheng lost their parents. In order to make a living, Guan Jixing worked as a coolie and sold biscuits to others. Although the two brothers worked day and night, they still didn't have enough to eat and clothes. Seeing that others can eat and wear warm clothes when doing business, they discussed the idea of self-employment-making baked wheat cakes. After Guan Jicheng sold the biscuits every day, he went to see how the master beat the biscuits. Later, he tried to beat a few, took them to the street and sold them out at once. This increased the two brothers' idea of doing business. He and his brother worked hard and saved money to open a biscuit shop. After several years of hard work, the preparations were finally complete in 1927, and it was officially opened. They did not follow the old rules and dared to innovate, and gradually made the biscuits with only two layers of skin into multi-layer crispy biscuits. The pastry is crispy outside, like a thousand layers of cakes inside, with a pastry center in the middle, which is sweet and salty. Young and old mind.
