Wangji Xiaotuan Cake, also known as "Moon Cake", is made from wheat flour and is famous for its excellent color, aroma and taste.
Wangji Xiaotuan Cake is a specialty food in Wangji Town, Siyang County, Jiangsu Province. The processed raw material is wheat flour, with a diameter of about 15 cm and a thickness of about 3 or 4 cm. The price is about the same as ordinary large cakes, but it is famous for its color, fragrance and
It is famous for its delicious taste.
Now in Siyang County, there are two restaurants that make "Wangji Xiaotuan Pancakes". They have to wait in line to make the Xiaotuan Pancakes that day. If you go a little late, you won't be able to buy them.
One time, a family member went to buy small dumpling cakes and was hit by a battery car in a hurry, so the impression was particularly deep.
Today when I was browsing Siyang on the Internet, I found the legend of "Wangji Xiaotuan Cake". I thought it was different from "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" and it had a happy ending. It coincided with the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, so I reprinted the story here to wish all the hard-working and kind-hearted people in the world.
People, husband and wife are loving, harmonious and happy!
It is said that one year, Chang'e from the Moon Palace accidentally descended to earth. When she was over the King's Set, a strange fragrance suddenly hit her nostrils.
When I looked down, I saw people and cars on the street, the market was bustling, and a moon-shaped dumpling was placed in front of a house on the street.
The aroma of the small dumpling cakes made Chang'e linger and couldn't stop.
So I landed in the busy city, wanting to taste the delicacies of this world.
She went straight to the door, stretched out her slender fingers, gently picked up a piece of cake and put it into her embroidery bag. When she took out the money to pay, her face turned red.
It turns out that I forgot my money bag when I came down to earth. What should I do in front of everyone?
Just when Chang'e was flustered and in a dilemma, the handsome young man selling the cake saw that the woman buying the cake was naturally beautiful and charming, so he quickly saluted and said: "Sister, if you don't have any money, I will give it to you." Chang'e saw that
The young man selling cakes not only showed his talent, but also behaved dignifiedly and treated others with humility, so he tried to ask: "I dare to ask, Mr. Sir, you have such a great name, why do you have time to do this business?"
Do this at home to make a living." After hearing this, Chang'e thought to herself: It is very rare for a prince to have a dignified appearance, a kind heart, and filial piety to his parents.
Why don't I help him.
After making up her mind, Chang'e thanked the prince and left.
The next day, when Prince Wang got up early to prepare pancakes, he was surprised to find that the basin was filled with dumplings. Each dumpling was round and fragrant. As soon as these dumplings were placed in front of the door, they were snapped up by people.
Once it was empty, the young master was extremely happy.
The next morning, Prince Wang found that the basin was filled with dough cakes again.
This happened every day on the third, fourth, and fifth days. The prince was puzzled and decided to find out.
That night, Prince Wang quietly hid in the corner of the bakery.
At midnight, he was sleepy and suddenly heard a noise, and the lights in the house were lit.
He held his breath, opened his eyes wide, and suddenly saw the girl buying cakes floating into the house.
I saw her gently making pancakes, and in less than an hour, she had baked a pot of fragrant dough pancakes.
Just when Chang'e was about to return to the Moon Palace, Prince Wang suddenly closed the doors and windows, blocked Chang'e's path and asked: "Who are you from, and why are you like this?" Seeing that she was discovered by the prince, Chang'e had to make up that she lived in Penglai and had loved her since she was a child.
Delicious food.
Prince Wang believed it, and from then on, Chang'e came to cook pancakes for him every day.
As time went by, Chang'e felt more and more that Mr. Wang was honest, hardworking and kind.
From repaying a favor to being grateful, from being moved to being moved, from being moved to being in love, finally I pledged myself to him and decided to stay in the world and marry the prince.
Prince Wang also fell in love with the beautiful and passionate Chang'e, and their two hearts gradually merged together.
After marriage, the couple loved each other lovingly. The man farmed and the woman weaved. They raised their eyebrows and treated each other as if they were guests. They lived a sweet and happy life.
As the saying goes: "One day in the sky, one year on earth." On this day, the Jade Emperor heard that Chang'e from the Moon Palace had not returned to earth for three days. Longyan was furious and ordered the Taibai Venus to go down to the world to search, limiting Chang'e's return to heaven at three o'clock noon.
When Taibai Jinxing found the sky above the King's Set, he found that Chang'e, who had been in the lower world for two years, was processing dumplings. The peculiar aroma of the dumplings made Taibaijinxing, who always liked to taste delicious food, ecstasy. He actually forgot the Jade Emperor's edict.
Clean and tidy.
I saw him descending from the clouds, transformed into a farmer and came to Chang'e's dumpling table. He stretched out his hand to grab a piece of fragrant dumpling and opened his mouth to bite it.
This bite surprised Taibai Jinxing. It turned out that the cake was not only fragrant, but also soft, delicious and full of chewy texture.
It turns out that there is such delicious food in the world. No wonder Chang'e never came back to earth.
After a full meal, Taibai Jinxing remembered the Jade Emperor's edict.
I saw him return to his original form, displaying silk and announcing his decree.
Chang'e burst into tears after hearing the imperial edict.
He knelt on the ground and begged Taibai Jinxing to show mercy. God told him that the Jade Emperor would open his eyes and allow his daughter to continue to stay in the world.
Knowing the truth, Prince Wang suddenly realized that the wife sleeping with him was actually Chang'e of the Moon Palace!
Without thinking too much, he knelt on the ground and begged the immortal not to take Chang'e away.
The kind-hearted Taibai Jinxing couldn't bear to break up the happy life of their husband and wife, and was tempted to hide.
I saw him driving back to Yuntou, going to the Yangxin Hall, playing back to the Jade Emperor, and struggling to help Chang'e plead for mercy. Maybe the Jade Emperor was happy for a moment, so he immediately played the song.
Later, she realized that it was inappropriate and changed her words: "Every full moon day on the 15th of August, Chang'e must return to heaven and wait until evening before going down to the lower world."
Taibai Jinxing immediately sent a message to the lower world.
After receiving the order, Chang'e cried with joy and thanked the emperor for his great kindness.
From then on, Chang'e returned to the Guanghan Palace in Heaven on time on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month every year to reunite with the immortals.
In the evening, he will reunite with his family in the mortal world.
