The editor's Taishi cake is eaten with a cup of hot tea, which is very grandiose.
Taishi's cake has a crispy crust, fragrant taste, and is prepared with both sweet and salty ingredients. It is a must-have for literati and friends.
Among the Beijing-style pastries, there is a kind of Taishi cake. According to the old pastry chef, this kind of cake was invented by Wen Zhong, the Taishi of King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty.
When King Wu attacked Zhou, King Zhou sent his grand master Wen Zhong to lead his troops to resist. Wen Zhong made a sweet cake as dry food for the march.
Later, this kind of cake spread to the people and was called Taishi cake.
Wen Zhong was therefore enshrined as the founder of the pastry industry.
Before the liberation of Beijing, all walks of life had an ancestor who was worshiped and respected by the industry like a god or Buddha. For example, the traditional Chinese medicine industry worshiped Sun Simiao, known as the King of Medicine; the construction industry worshiped Lu Ban; the slaughtering industry worshiped Fan Kuai, etc.
Of course, Wen Zhong's making of Taishi cakes is just a legend and cannot be verified.
However, Taishi cake has always been loved by people. Among the eight major Beijing-style pastries, Taishi cake is included.
The fillings include date paste, bean paste or white sugar, etc.
Nowadays, some pastry shops write Taishi cake as Taishi cake, and "Taishi" is mistakenly regarded as "Taishi".
