There are eight processes in the production of fragrant preserved cake, such as stir-frying mung bean powder, onion processing, stirring and rolling, and hand printing. Each process is a delicate work and very particular. The mung bean powder is the main raw material of fragrant preserved cake. First, the mung bean powder ground in the season should be carefully selected. After stir-frying, it should be sieved, then crushed and stir-fried for more than three times. After stir-frying, it should be stored in a vat, placed in a cool and dry place, and turned over several times, and stored for later use after 31 to 41 days. When all the raw materials such as mung bean powder, crispy red onion and sucrose powder are prepared, these raw materials are slowly stirred and mixed manually in proportion, and kneaded evenly to make cake powder. Fill the cake powder into the impression of rosewood, press it flat, turn over and knock it out, and you will get the Dongmeixiang preserved cake.

In the past, there were several workshops in Dongmei Village to make fragrant preserved cakes. However, with the changes of the times, the fragrant preserved cake industry with low profits gradually declined. Jiaqing Food Factory is the largest of the few remaining workshops.
