There is a custom of making rice cakes on holidays in southern Fujian, so princes will cook rice cakes themselves and invite their neighbors from all over the country to come. Because of the innovation of traditional production technology, the rice cake he made has a unique flavor and is deeply loved by neighbors. Since then, the prince and the prince have made rice cakes at the request of their neighbors every year, and the neighbors who come to ask for rice cakes are in an endless stream. Therefore, princes will open workshops to make a living. At first, the rice cake was salty, and later it was changed to sweet, which was called sweet glutinous rice. After the continuous improvement of princes and princes, the sweet glutinous rice produced by them became famous. Princes and princes are generous and generous, and often help poor families around them. Therefore, his cookie workshop was named "Yixing".
