Pobing is a famous snack in Guangzhou, and it also has the nickname "Dongrongsu". There is a legend about the old woman's cake: once upon a time, there was a loving but poor couple. Because her father was seriously ill and there was no money for medical treatment at home, her daughter-in-law had to sell herself into the landlord's house to earn money to treat the old man. Undaunted, the husband who lost his wife developed a delicious cake, and finally redeemed his wife by selling the cake and lived a happy life again. After this delicious food spread, it was called "old woman cake". You didn't expect this little old woman cake to have such a story of loyalty, filial piety and love. Selling old woman cakes can lead a happy life again. Compared with Wu Dalang's selling baked wheat cakes but losing his wife, the merits of this old woman cake are much more complete.

Why is this famous snack in Guangzhou also called Chaozhou granny cake? This has to tell another story about it: a chaozhou people went to Guangzhou to be a pastry chef. When he went back to his hometown to visit relatives, he brought a lot of Guangzhou snacks back for his family to taste. Who knows that his wife ate the dim sum he brought back after all the hardships, but said, "These famous points in Guangzhou are not as delicious as the melon corners I made." Chaozhou master didn't believe it, so his wife made him some melon horns with white gourd paste as stuffing and flour as skin. After he ate them, he really felt delicious. After visiting relatives, he asked his wife to make a big bag of wax gourd horns and take them to Guangzhou for other masters to taste. I didn't expect everyone to sing well after eating. Because this snack was made by the wife of master Chaozhou, everyone called it "Chaozhou old woman cake". Later, after their improvement, this old lady cake became a famous snack in Guangzhou.

The crust of the old lady's cake is loose, the stuffing is moist, soft and smooth, and the taste is sweet but not greasy. It is indeed a good snack, but its most attractive place lies in its warm name and touching legend. If a single man eats a sweet old woman cake every day, it will definitely increase your determination to find the other half as soon as possible; Men and women in love can use the old woman cake to create an atmosphere, which may make their feelings advance by leaps and bounds. If you make it yourself, the chances of success will definitely be much greater.

Interestingly, there is also a husband's cake corresponding to the old woman's cake, but its stuffing is mainly salty and pepper, and its shape is larger, which is somewhat consistent with the careless man. This old man's cake gives people a sense of imitation, while some little old woman's cakes, little old woman's cakes and mistresses that follow the trend are suspected of opportunism, which really tarnishes the name of old woman's cakes. It's boring to hear such a name. Where is the mood to eat?
