What are the special snacks of Manchu?
Saqima, the legend originated from a Manchu general, Sa, who worked in Guangzhou during the Qing Dynasty. He liked riding horses. I like to eat snacks before every hunting. One day, when Lisa went hunting, she said to the chef, "Today, we must have a new snack instead of printing sand cakes according to the mold every day." Otherwise, get ready to go home! "When the chef in charge of snacks heard this, an absent-minded person fried the snacks stained with egg liquid! It happened that the general urged for snacks again at this moment, so the chef had to mix the fried dough with sugar, knead it into a ball, flatten it and cut it into cubes. He thought, this is a bad thing, and his job is hard to protect, so he said, "kill that rider!" "(which was later mistakenly written as" Shaqima ") Who knew that Asa was full of praise after eating it and asked him what the name was? The cook was in shock and blurted out, "kill this horse!" " ! Fortunately, Lisa heard "Lisa riding a horse" and kissed her surname Sa Ai riding a horse, even cheering. In this way, "Saqima" is known as "Saqima". Saqima is one of the famous four seasons cakes in Beijing. I used to write Shaqima and Selima in Beijing. Saqima has the characteristics of beige color, crisp and soft taste, sweet and delicious, and rich fragrance of osmanthus honey. "The Year of Yanjing" wrote: "Saqima is a cake of Manchuria, which is made of rock sugar, cream and white flour. It is shaped like glutinous rice, baked in an oven with ash-free wood and then made into a square, sweet and greasy. " Saqima was an important snack at that time. According to the Records of Shuntian Prefecture of Guangxu, "Selima is a snack of lamas, which is sold in the market today. It is steamed with flour mixed with fruit, sugar and lard, and it is very delicious. " In the twenty-eighth year of Daoguang, the monument to the regulation of sugar cakes in Mamiao also wrote: "It is necessary for the flag people to be monks and Taoists." There are wedding tables, and there are also weddings and funerals. "At that time, the Saqima in Taihuazhai Hele Store in Beixinqiao was the most milky. It was adjacent to the Lama Temple in the north, where monks and monks were the first customers of Taihuazhai. As a pre-Buddha offering, they used it a lot.
