The Fuqing people said that the light cake is ours, the Fuding people said that the light cake is ours, the Fu'an people said: the light cake is ours, and the Yongtai people say that the light cake is ours! The provincials said: Where is the light cake?
When I was in elementary school, the teacher told us that the light cake was the military food hanging around the neck of Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty's anti-Wu Dynasty, and his soldiers in Fujian to facilitate the solution of food problems when marching and fighting.
Xiaobian suddenly realized this serious problem one day, so he sorted out the following article, as a Hu Jianren, this should be one of the necessary cold knowledge that you deserve to show off to friends in other provinces.
Fuqing light cake
Fuqingguang cake making method is special, with fine flour as the main raw material, with appropriate salt and alkali, add water to knead into a dough, knead into a cake, pat sesame seeds, punch holes in the middle, after waking up slightly, put into the special cake oven baked red in advance, and then use the newly picked pine needles to ignite and bake until crispy and then shoveled.
Fuqing light cake looks golden and pleasant, smells fragrant and tempting, and tastes with relish, which is slightly better than other light cakes in Fujian. But the strange thing is that how clever the master left Fuqing, he couldn't make a delicious Fuqing light cake! This is probably related to the water quality of Fuqing and the local pine needle baking in that year.

Fuan light cake
Fu'an light cake is also known as Jiguang cake. Among several Fujian light cakes, the number of Fu'an light cakes is the most faithful, although everyone's source is Qi Jiguang anti-Wu, but only Fu'an light cakes, left the name "Jiguang cake"! Only Fu'an light cake, as far as possible to keep the same as the light cake that Qi Jiguang ate 400 years ago.
Fu'an light cake pays attention to the "copper face iron bottom cotton heart", copper face - light cake surface is burnt yellow, the color is like bronze; iron bottom - cake bottom is crisp and hard; cotton heart - the cake is soft and delicious, slightly salty. Overnight regular eating can cure stomach problems, you can soak the light cake into water to make a dish.
Fu'an's light cake also has a very special way to eat: toon trees to extract young leaves, pick some young toon leaves and freshly boiled fat meat residue, mix shrimp skin, fine salt to make filling, cut the freshly baked light cake into two pieces and eat it, mixing the cake aroma, toon fragrance, meat aroma and shrimp skin umami, both fruity and delicious!
Jian Ou light cake
Among the Fujian light cakes, the Jian'ou light cake has the largest variation! With flour, add an appropriate amount of nancao (alkali water) and salt water, after the noodles are penetrated, knead by hand, make a cake cut, and then use wood to grind into a cake blank, poke a small hole in the middle of the blank, if the cake surface has onions or meat, poke two holes. (Look!) They actually make a fuss on the pie noodles! Roar) then stick the cake blank to the hearth wall and bake it over a charcoal fire.
This is a common Street Jian'ou light cake

You can also listen to the sound of sesame oil when you eat it. Not only is it delicious to eat, but it makes people who watch from the sidelines salivate and have a different flavor.
The strangest thing is that the light cakes in other places can't adjust the taste of Zhou Ning's light cakes. Zhou Ning people said that it was because the water quality of Zhou Ning was different from other places, and it seemed a little reasonable to think about it. Eating the light cake alone is not enough, Zhou Ning people love to divide it into two pieces of sandwiches along the edge of the light cake and stack it. The buns are made with rice milk, shredded radish, green onions, etc.
As you can see in the market, the chef who sells stacked bags takes a small amount of rice milk and places it in a light round scoop, thinly covers its bottom, adds an appropriate amount of radish shreds and green onions as filling, and then covers the rice milk and puts it in boiling oil and frys it, its color is orange and crispy. In particular, the sea oyster buns that have just come out of the pot can still be eaten with sesame oil.

People remember the Hongshan Bridge Light Cake Shop, until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were only two - Xinyixing, which opened in the seventh year of Qing Guangxu (1881) and Yuanli, which opened later. The Xinyixing Cake Shop was opened by Fang Renhua (grandfather of Fang Guanying and Fang Binggui, a famous folk culture person in Rongtai) downstairs in Xixiang (now Jianxin Town) in Fuzhou. Fang Renhua is proficient in the ancestral light cake (including bags, cut noodles) skills.
When making light cakes, they are fried in a pan at the beginning, and then they are changed to stickers, and the light cakes are delicious. Hongshan Bridge is the main road of water and land transportation in Fuzhou, there are many people, the price of light cake is cheap and hunger-resistant, so there are many buyers, the daily supply is in short supply, with the production and sale, there is still residual heat in the hand, and it is more popular with buyers.
