Saqima is said to originate from a Manchu general named Sa who served in Guangzhou during the Qing Dynasty and loved to ride horses. Love to have a snack before every hunt. One day, Sa went out hunting and said to the chef: "Today's dim sum must be something new, don't make sand cakes according to the mold every day. Otherwise, get ready to go home!" When the dim sum cook heard this, he was stunned. The snacks dipped in egg liquid were fried into pieces! But at this time, the general asked for more snacks, so the chef had to mix the fried dough with sugar, knead them together, flatten and cut into cubes. He thought in his heart that if he failed to cook this, his job would not be guaranteed, so he said: "Kill that horseman!" (which was later mistakenly written as "Shaqima"). Unexpectedly, after eating it, Sa praised him and asked him about it. What's the name? The chef was shocked and blurted out: "Kill the horse!" Fortunately, Sa heard that he was "Sa riding a horse", and he and his surname Sa Ai rode a horse and kissed each other, and they cheered repeatedly. In this way, "Saqima" became known as "Saqima" in the popular saying. Saqima is one of the famous Beijing-style four-season pastries in Beijing. In the past, he also wrote "Shaqima", "Sailima" and so on in Beijing. Saqima has the characteristics of beige color, crisp and soft taste, sweet and delicious, and rich fragrance of osmanthus honey. "Yanjing Chronicles" writes: "Saqima is a Manchurian pastry, made of rock sugar, butter and white flour. It is shaped like glutinous rice. It is baked in an ash-free wood oven and becomes cubes. It is sweet and edible. "Saqima was an important snack at that time. According to "Guangxu Shuntianfu Chronicles", "Sailima is a snack for Lamas. It is made in today's shops. It is made of flour mixed with fruits, steamed with sugar and lard, and has a very delicious taste." "Ma Temple" written in the 28th year of Daoguang The Sugar Cake Xinggui Monument also writes, "It is a must-have for the monks and Taoists of the banner. A table for weddings and banquets is indispensable for weddings and funerals." Back then, Taihua Zhai Pastry Shop in Beixinqiao had the strongest butter flavor of Saqima. It was adjacent to the royal temple Yonghegong to the north. The lamas there were the first patrons of Taihua Zhai. As an offering in front of the Buddha, they consumed a large amount. .
