Wudalang sells? Cookies?

People who have read the Water Margin know that Wudalang sells cooking cakes, and inside the Water Margin also mentioned steamed buns, is the Sun Erniang store famous? The first time I saw this, it was a very good thing that I had a good time, because it was a very good thing. The steamed buns mentioned at that time are actually the buns mentioned now, but they are steamed buns with fillings. Song notes also said a sentence, ? Baozi that steamed bread alias? Later on, I do not know how to come, with filling are collectively known as buns, and not with filling is collectively referred to as steamed bread, has been passed down to the present said buns steamed bread. Cookies also have a name called steam cake, in the Water Margin inside, Yan Qing and Li Kui let Liu Taigong to do a boil under the dry meat, and let him do a cook cake, and at that time inside the people are using the cook cake with small wine to eat, the reason why to the back of the name, in fact, is to avoid Song Renzong Zhaozhen.

At that time the cooking cake is actually a round pasta thing, and will be sprinkled with a layer of sesame seeds on the outside of the cooking cake, around the words may still have the feeling of burnt baba, but inside is to eat up the words of the interior is still very soft, in general the overall feeling of eating up the feeling of the hard, but it is a feeling of elasticity, and will not be particularly difficult to eat. And this cooking cake called, until the Ming Dynasty period, the cooking cake called will gradually be replaced by steamed bread.

So Wu Dailang sells cooking cakes is actually what we now call steamed buns, but then the cooking cakes and now we eat steamed buns is still a big difference, after all, this thing is now with the past practice is not quite the same, there is a big difference, the taste is not the same. The flavor is even different.
