I think most of the so-called allusions are fabricated by merchants to cater to consumers. If not, they should be familiar with them. Forgive me for not reading much and not knowing much.
Melaleuca cake is one of the special snacks in Beijing. Melaleuca cake is fine in production, soft in body, rich and clear in layers, colorful, sweet and delicious, and suitable for hot food.
I don't know about Melaleuca Cake, but I know that its namesake brother Melaleuca Cake seems to have something to do with Chiang Kai-shek. However, there are different opinions about this legend, and different versions are circulated everywhere, but they all have their own unique charm.
Crystal dumplings are a very common snack in Guangdong morning tea, usually three in a small drawer, about ten yuan. Crystal dumplings are crystal clear, Q-elastic, tender, fragrant and unique in ingredients. The most traditional crystal dumpling in Guangdong is shrimp dumpling, in which a fresh shrimp is placed, and the original prawn can be seen through the crystal skin, which is very delicious.
I think crystal dumplings should be improved in jiaozi. According to the local characteristics, we should gradually improve and pursue beautiful appearance while pursuing color, flavor and fragrance.
There are several legends in jiaozi, but I think the most credible one is the legend of Quhan Jiaoer Decoction by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical sage.
I hope it will help you.
