Brief introduction of Sugar-Coated Berry, a Beijing snack.
Sugar-Coated Berry, sweet and sour, is suitable for all ages. It is not only delicious, but also very beautiful. The red hawthorn fruits are arranged on bamboo sticks according to their size, and are wrapped in crystal clear syrup. People who sell it often put candied haws on special wooden sticks, like a small tree full of fruits, which is really attractive. Mention the origin of Sugar-Coated Berry, but also talk about the Southern Song Dynasty Emperor Song Guangzong.

It was during the Shaoxi period of the Southern Song Dynasty that Huang Guifei, Song Guangzong's favorite, had a strange disease. She suddenly became sallow and emaciated, and she didn't think about diet.

. The physician used many expensive drugs, but none of them worked. Seeing that the imperial concubine became seriously ill day by day, the emperor was helpless and had to post a list of doctors. A quack doctor revealed the list and entered the palace. After feeling the pulse of the imperial concubine, he said, "As long as you boil' Tangqiuzi' (hawthorn) with brown sugar and eat 5 ~10 tablets before meals, you will definitely get well in half a month." After taking this prescription, the imperial concubine recovered as scheduled. So I was very happy and my life was the same.

Later, this sour, crisp and sweet hawthorn spread to the people and became Sugar-Coated Berry.
