Daoxiang Village, located on the east side of Guanqian Street, was founded in the 38th year of Qingganlong (AD 1773). It was named after Daoxiang Village in Daguanyuan in Cao Xueqin's masterpiece A Dream of Red Mansions. It is the most famous specialty store (factory) that produces and distributes Suzhou-style cakes with a long history, and it is also the most representative store (factory) that comprehensively inherits and develops Suzhou-style cake shops. On August 3 1926, Suzhou Ming Pao published an advertisement for the completion of the new house in Daoxiang Village, saying that the mysterious temple in Suzhou has been in operation for more than a hundred years, and it is still a tall foreign facade because of its business expansion. On the occasion of the completion of the new house, the word "He" was specially added. However, according to 19 14 Jiangsu Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce, Daoxiang Village was founded in Tongzhi for three years (1864). However, 193 1 wrote "The Diet of Chunhua Restaurant": "The owner of Daoxiang Village is Shen, who took refuge in his hometown during the wartime of Hongyang, and once set up tea in a village near Yangcheng Lake. Business is still good. " After the chaos, he returned to the city and accumulated wealth. Because he intends to expand his business, he opened a shop in Guanqian Street. It is difficult to check the above records in detail. Through the way of "master takes apprentice", it has been passed down from generation to generation, and "South store opens in the north, and South taste opens in the north" has blossomed rapidly in dozens of cities in the north, which is all the rage. But unfortunately, the "Xiang Tao Village" with the same roots, the same origin and the same door is still fighting in dozens of cities under the same brand.

There are also different opinions about the store tricks in Daoxiang Village. According to past legends, Wang Qiugen, the shopkeeper, was inspired by A Dream of Red Mansions because his grandparents liked it. He thought that the raw materials of tea and cakes were rice and wheat, so he decided to name it Daoxiang Village. However, there is a record in Chunhua Pavilion Diet: "The owner's surname is Shen ... located in Guanqian Street, but the signboard lacks human title, so he does business with his close friend, a radish farmer in Taihu Lake. He likes reading novels. See the plaque of Daoxiang Village in the Grand View Garden of a Dream of Red Mansions, and choose these three words as the title of the temple.

The factory has 276 employees, including 203 pastry workers, with a workshop area of 3,000 square meters and a business area of 200 square meters. 1986 was expanded into Daoxiang Village Food Factory, which still maintains the traditional characteristics of "front shop and back workshop".

At present, Daoxiang Village produces candy, game, roasted seeds and nuts, pickled green salt and western-style candy, biscuits, canned food, dairy products and beverages. It also deals in 22 categories of tea and cakes with its own traditional characteristics, with more than 30 varieties/kloc-0, including 70 perennial varieties and more than 60 seasonal varieties, which change with the seasons of four seasons and eight festivals.

Famous tea cakes supplied all the year round include: lard pine nut jujube paste sesame cake, almond cake, onion oil peach cake, pancake, foreign currency cake, lard pine nut cake, bean paste cake, ear cake, sock bottom cake, jade belt cake, fresh meat jiaozi, crispy vegetables, candied skin and Daoxiao Noodles.

The famous seasonal tea cakes are: apricot cake in spring, distiller's grains cake, sugar snow cake, meat snow cake, spring cake, mint cake, Indian cake, poria cocos cake, water chestnut cake, steamed cake, vegetarian mung bean cake, ice and snow cake, crisp sour plum juice in summer, wishful cake and appropriate fruit, bergamot cake in autumn and various Soviet cakes and peach cakes in winter.

This shop is also famous for its smoked game, such as pork floss, duck gizzard liver and so on. According to the book Wuzhong recipe; Taoxiang Village makes square cakes, pine nuts and Wang Qian cakes are fixed every day, and they will never be shoddy. The smoked fish and wild ducks made in this shop are all fresh, and they are smoked fish, not herring. The so-called would rather lack than abuse. "This is unmatched by ordinary game stores, but the game in Daoxiang Village is gone, and its production master is old. The store is actively training personnel to make this game function a success.

The famous brand products of Daoxiang Village are recorded in detail in "Food Notes of Chunhua Restaurant": "Mooncakes are the best tea food in Daoxiang Village ... Its advantages are that sugar is rich and oily, and the entrance is crisp and easy to melt. There are roses, red bean paste, sweet vegetables, salt and pepper. Its price is ten copper coins per cake. Four cakes in a box are called meat moon cakes; If a small meat moon cake, its price is halved, and its name and color are the same as big meat moon cake. But there is a kind of water rose, which is made of white sugar, purples and meat oil. Compared with big meat, it is especially delicious. There are also round and flat moon cakes, called Moon Palace Cake, or Palace Cake for short. There are jujube paste and meat oil in it. Each cake has 20 copper coins, and each box has two. This is the best sweet moon cake. As for salted moon cakes, there used to be only two kinds: south leg and scallion oil. In recent years, fresh meat moon cakes have been added. " These three kinds are suitable for eating when they are out of the pot, so the skin is crisp and delicious, and the flavor is not spared. "

"Ding Sheng cake and nine niang cake are popular foods in spring." However, Daoxiang Village is also the best choice for cakes. "

"Daoxiang Village is also the best place to smoke fish and wild ducks ... These three (according to: Daoxiang Village, Ye Shouhe and Donglu) must not smoke herring, and it is better to be short than to be extravagant."

"The rose lard generous cake, which went on sale in March and April, is made of white sugar and lard, with bright roses, which are fragrant and sweet." However, when it was steamed and taken out of the kettle, people who got up early in the morning could eat it at about six o'clock in the morning. Later, vendors and others rushed to buy it, which made people salivate. "

Today, the food store in Daoxiang Village continues to produce these traditional famous cakes, such as clear water rose moon cakes, sesame crisp candy, pine nuts and jujube paste biscuits, meat wine cakes, full-flavored smoked fish, shrimp and squid. Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po once introduced the long history of Daoxiang Village with the title of "Four Seasons Tea tastes elegant and fragrant, and the cakes in Daoxiang Village are Daoxiang", 130 more traditional varieties and more than 60 seasonal commodities. It is believed that the cakes produced in Daoxiang Village have their own unique characteristics besides the characteristics of ordinary Soviet cakes, that is, fresh time, equal emphasis on taste and shape. This is the root of Daoxiang Village's enduring for a hundred years.
