Xiting Crispy was originally named Xiting Dragon Fubai Cat Crispy, and there is a touching story to tell! Once upon a time, in Xiting Town, a couple opened a tea shop. The boss is a good tea artist. He can make all kinds of refreshments. His wife manages the shop and tries to bring home the bacon. Xiting is a rural town, and most of its customers are farmers, so they can't afford to buy superior tea and food. The couple discussed that if they want to do business, they will only make a fuss about superficial food and make the products cheaper. Rural people like to eat shortbread, so they used their brains to add oil and sugar, sweet-scented osmanthus and orange peel, change the square into a long strip and sprinkle sesame seeds. In addition, the drum furnace was reformed, the firepower was mastered, and finally the shortbread with unique style was made. After the listing, the whole town made a sensation and was welcomed by customers.
Zhang Jian, the former Minister of Commerce of the Qing Dynasty, lived in Xiting, went back to Xiting every year to worship his ancestors, and always tasted shortbread. In addition to his own love, he also gave shortbread as a gift to Chinese businessmen, foreign businessmen and dignitaries. Xiting shortbread is not only welcomed by ordinary people, but also enjoys a high reputation in the royal family. Zhang Jian also personally named this store "Long Fu Mao Hao". The boss is very satisfied with this store number, and thinks it can inspire the younger generation to work hard and never forget the pain of being left out in the cold.
Xiting shortcake is hand-made from refined white flour through 28 processes. Shortcakes are baked with low fire, and the surface is yellow but not burnt; The craft of shortbread is exquisite, and each cake has eighteen layers. Do not believe that you cook cakes with water, and the hierarchy is clearly visible. There are two ways to eat Xiting shortbread: drying in the sun and soaking in boiling water. Dry eating is crisp and crisp, because the surface is covered with sesame seeds, so the more you chew, the more fragrant it is; Soak in boiling water, sweet and delicious, especially suitable for the appetite of the elderly.
Today's Nantong shortbread is made according to the specifications of "Fulongmao".
