Culture and history of Yueqing Furong sesame seed cake

Legend has it that at the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, nomadic people attacked the Song Dynasty on a large scale, and the traitor Qin Gui paid tribute to the invaders and stole peace, but blindly confronted the famous Venus. The patriotic soldiers and civilians hated Qin Gui's traitorous behavior, so they put wheat flour and oil into a drying oven to bake. It's called Maigang cake (selling Chinese cakes), which has a unique flavor and crisp fragrance. Travelers are always kept as dry food. After a long time, it is called wheat altar cake, but in some areas of Zhejiang, some people still like to call it wheat altar cake (selling the country cake).

In Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, wheat cake is also a specialty, among which "Aunt Wang's wheat cake" is more famous. Nanxi river wheat cake is a local snack.

Nowadays, wheat cakes are generally used for personal use or for entertaining guests, and three chopsticks are generally used.

Yueqing furong town is the hometown of wheat cakes. Wheat cake shops can be seen everywhere on both sides of the town streets. Passers-by who drive or walk will always go in and buy some wheat cakes. The most memorable hometown food of Furong people far away from their hometown is crispy and delicious wheat cakes.
