Cow's tongue burns
Speaking of fire, we must first talk about burnt bread. Good baked cakes should be swollen, the skin is crispy, the inside is fluffy, and the aroma is strong. Nowadays, there are few baked cakes in Xingtai City, and the impression is that there is a very delicious one in The Happiness Source Primary School on Qiaoxi Metallurgical Road, and there is a "Ma family ancestral" halal baked cake in Huashi Street.
The history of baking cakes is quite long, as early as the Tang Dynasty, there are records that "Hu cakes, gluttony, etc. are Hu food, imported from the western region." (Tang Huilin's "All The Sutras and Sounds", vol. 37) The "Hu Cake" mentioned here is what we now call burnt cake, which was transmitted to Shanxi along the "Silk Road" along the "Silk Road" along the Western Regions. Bai Juyi's poem "Crispy noodles and fragrant oil are newly baked" says that this is the hu cake.
Speaking of fire, the "close relative" of this burnt cake is from Wei County. As early as the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Weixian fire was famous for its unique craftsmanship and crispy taste. After the Ming Dynasty's "Yan King sweeps the north" rebellion. The people's livelihood in Hebei is poor and sparsely populated. In the second year of Yongle, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di "moved the people of Shanxi to be real." With the migration of Shanxi immigrants, the original from the western region to Shanxi to the hanging furnace to burn cakes of the craft also naturally spread to the Weixian area, Weixian people out ofgenuity, the fusion of the northern pie and hu cake process, with Weixian fine white noodles and small ground sesame oil as raw materials, accompanied by fine salt, pepper powder, baked with a hanging oven, creating a unique flavor of "fire". The process of burning is similar to that of burning cakes, but the taste and shape are different. Because of the shape of the cow's tongue, it is commonly known as "cow's tongue burning". As more and more people in Weixian county do the business of making fire in other places, the reputation has spread more and more widely, and people call it "Weixian fire".
Weixian fire uses exquisite materials, special craftsmanship, many layers of delicious taste, and crispy meat. Noodles, noodles, molding, baking, each process has its own unique features, such as baking in a hanging oven, charcoal as the bottom fire, to the wood hard fire temperature; the use of fire is exquisite, must be high outside and low inside; raw blank placed in the furnace, after four flips seven turns.

It is said that in the early years of the Republic of China, the famous teachers who burned in Wei County were most famous for Huangjie Shilaomei, West Street and Youlin. Before and after liberation, Liu Zhenying, Li Baohai, and Ma Peiqin were famous for a while. In recent years, a number of rising stars such as Li Zhu have emerged.
