Why are wife cakes called wife cakes?

There was a Chaozhou man who went to Guangzhou to work as a dim sum chef. Once when he went back to his hometown to visit his relatives, he brought back a lot of Guangzhou dim sum for his family to taste. Who knew that his wife ate the dim sum he had brought back after all the hard work, but said, "These famous Guangzhou dim sum are not as good as the winter melon horns I made."

The Chaozhou master did not believe it, so his wife made some winter melon horns with winter melon paste as filling and flour as skin for him to eat. At the end of his family visit, he asked his wife to make another big bag of winter melon horns and bring it to Guangzhou for other masters to taste.

I didn't expect everyone to eat it and say it was good. Since this snack was made by the wife of the Chaozhou master, everyone called it "Chaozhou wife cake". Later, after some improvements, this wife cake became a famous snack in Guangzhou.
