Crystal cake is a famous spot in Weinan, Shaanxi Province. It is characterized by golden noodles and silver gangs, peeling and crisp, cool tongue and penetrating teeth, sweet and palatable. Legend has it that Kou Zhun, the Song Dynasty official, was honest and fair, and won the hearts of the people. One year, Kou Zhun returned from the capital of song dynasty, Kyoto, to his hometown, Weinan, to visit relatives in the countryside, which coincided with his 50th birthday. The hard-earned villagers sent birthday peaches, noodles and plaques to congratulate him, and Kou Zhun held a birthday banquet. After three rounds of wine, suddenly his men brought a delicate paulownia box, which Kou Zhun opened and contained 50 crystal-clear snacks. On top of the dessert, there is a piece of red paper, neatly written with a poem: "Public crystal eyes and crystal hearts can distinguish loyalty from traitors, and innocence is not stained with dust." The signature is Weibei laosou. Later, the chef in Kou Zhun also made this kind of dim sum, and Kou Zhun gave it a nice name according to its characteristics, called "Crystal Cake".
