4 the legend of jujube paste sesame seed cake

Fan Zhongyan, a famous scholar in Song Dynasty, was very poor when he was a child. There is no house at home, so I have to live in the curse bowl at the foot of Tianping Mountain in Suzhou. The curse bowl nunnery has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is horribly desolate. However, Fan Zhongyan's hard life did not shake his ambition to learn.

Things are often like this: the less you eat, the bigger your stomach will be. Fan Zhongyan eats three bowls of porridge a day, which makes his stomach very big. He can eat thirteen bowls at a time. Even if you eat thirteen bowls, you will be hungry soon. Every winter night, his stomach growls and reads. Later, he thought of a way to freeze porridge on a plate and cut it into pieces like tofu. When he is hungry, he takes a piece to eat. He named this square porridge "Baiyun Cake".

His old friend Shi was deeply moved when he learned about it. He personally prepared good wine and went to visit him. He said, "I can't eat this food and wine." Shi asked him why, and he said, "This food is as good as wine as arsenic. You are hurting me. " The more confused Yue Shi thought, he said, "I am sincerely here to help you. How can I say it's harmful to you? " Fan Zhongyan said: "I am used to eating this kind of' white cloud cake' now, and my life is still passable. If I eat your good wine and food today, then I will eat' Baiyun cake' tomorrow, and my tongue will not work. At that time, won't I feel bad? As soon as you feel the distress in your life, you should divert your attention from reading. Don't you think this is hurting me? "

Shi listened to Fan Zhongyan's words with surprise and admiration. When he came back, there was a square cake made of glutinous rice flour modeled after Fan Zhongyan's "Baiyun cake", which was delivered every day until Fan Zhongyan was impressed.

It is said that the "glistening cakes" in Suzhou and Changshu are handed down from this.

The 5-year-old rice cake, because of its homophonic "high age" and diverse tastes, has almost become a must-have food for every family. The styles of rice cakes are square yellow and white rice cakes, which symbolize gold and silver and express the meaning of making a fortune in the New Year.
