What is the origin of "husband cake and old woman cake"?
Legend has it that there was once a loving couple whose daughter-in-law was willing to sell herself to treat the elderly. Undaunted, the widowed husband worked hard to develop a delicious cake, and finally redeemed his wife by selling the cake and lived a happy life again. This gourmet recipe has been called "old woman cake" since it came out. I didn't expect this little cake to contain such a touching love story. \x0d\\x0d\ There is also a legend about the old lady's cake, which comes from the Lotus Teahouse in Guangzhou. Anyone who has been to Guangzhou knows that Lotus Fragrant Tea House is a famous shop in Guangzhou, and Chaozhou granny cake is its housekeeping snack. In the late Qing Dynasty, Lianxianglou hired a Chaozhou master. One year, he went home to visit relatives and brought many snacks from Lianxianglou. Who knows that his wife was greatly dissatisfied after eating snacks: "The snacks in Lianxianglou are not as good as the winter melon horns fried by my family." After listening to his wife's words, the pastry chef was unconvinced: "Then be the melon corner of your mother's house and compare it with the snacks in Lianxianglou!" The next day, my wife prepared a pot of wax gourd, filled with white sugar and flour, then wrapped it into small corners with flour and fried it in an oil pan until golden brown. The pastry chef took a sip and praised it again and again. After returning to Guangzhou, he took the melon horn made by his wife to the masters of the teahouse to taste. What kind of snacks has the master of Lianxianglou never seen? However, after they ate melon seeds, they were full of praise. The owner of Lianxianglou knew about it and came to taste one. The boss said, "Well, it's delicious! Where is this famous spot? What's its name? " Master Chaozhou couldn't answer for a moment, and one of the masters said, "This is made by master Chaozhou's wife, so we call it Chaozhou old woman cake." \x0d\\x0d\ Interestingly, there is another kind of cake corresponding to "old woman cake" called "husband cake", which has a slightly different shape and unique taste. The "old woman cake" is small in appearance and delicate in taste. I still feel fragrant after eating sesame seeds, and I am really as meticulous and thoughtful as a little woman. The "husband cake" is slightly larger in shape and tastes a bit like bread, but it is a bit like a careless big man. \x0d\\x0d\ 2: Legend of Husband's Cake: \ x0d \ x0d \ Husband's Cake is made of garlic, salt and pepper and egg yolk, and it tastes slightly salty. \ x0d \ x0d \ Legend has it that it is a pair of young men and women. The man's family was poor, so the woman specially made a kind of scones and sold them in the market to help him raise money to try it in Beijing. Later generations called this cake baked with sesame, south milk, pepper and salt "husband's cake", that is, salty "old woman's cake"-naturally, she must be prepared to raise money for him, and in the end, she will not let him down, and the cake will flow down the river.
