According to legend, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, although there was a figure who did not take the examination for meritorious service or made great contributions in the military, he was the governor of Zhili for twenty years, and he also made his own cotton map and retained the ancient cotton planting technology, he was Fang Guancheng. This legendary figure was well known in the Hebei region and was also a favorite of the Qianlong Emperor.
One day, Fang Guancheng came to Zhaozhou on a private visit, just in time for the temple fair here, and the streets and alleys were crowded with people, which was very lively. Fang Guancheng followed the north and south avenues, watching the scenery as he walked. He came to the door of a restaurant and saw that the restaurant keeper was baking a large cake, and the pancake craftsmanship was very good. The best thing is that he bakes outside the door, and every time he burns one, he picks it up with a small rolling pin and throws it through the window onto the table in the house. The bread was neatly laid out, as neatly cut as the knife had cut. Fang Guancheng looked at it for a long time, and in his heart he couldn't help but secretly applaud, and couldn't help but come forward to praise: "Treasurer, your craftsmanship is really not bad." The treasurer looked up at the stranger and smiled and said, "Officer, it's not me talking big, my flaky cake skills are the same as Fang Guancheng's words, and they have been practiced." When Fang Guancheng heard his name mentioned, he asked with joy in his heart, "Do you also know Fang Guancheng?" The treasurer's heart said that in the Area of Zhao Prefecture, who did not know Fang Guancheng's name! He pointed to the wall of the door and said, "I still have a handwritten copy of his handwritten book hanging in my shop, I don't believe you can go in and have a look." Fang Guancheng walked into the restaurant with the treasurer, and saw that there was indeed a handwritten copy of his on the wall, but it was written by him in his early years, and his skills were not good enough, so he shook his head and said: "This one is not good, it is far away, it is far away." The treasurer thought to himself, my small restaurant, all rely on Fang Guancheng's big character to prosper, he entered the door and said it was not good, really have eyes and do not recognize the goods. At this time, Fang Guancheng shook his head as he stepped forward and took the word from the wall. Before the treasurer could figure out what was going on, the calligraphy and paintings were torn apart by him. The treasurer's eyes were red, and he pulled Fang Guancheng and had to tell him to make reparations. Fang Guancheng was not angry, and said unhurriedly: "Don't worry about the treasurer, tear up this Lai, can't you lose you a good one in a while?" The treasurer looked at this stranger a little, had to give up, thinking, see how you lose me this priceless treasure.
Fang Guancheng asked the treasurer to come to the pen and ink paper, pulled open the shelf type, and wrote one in the blink of an eye, and the following paragraph was "Fang Guancheng" three words. He put down his pen, glanced at the treasurer, turned and walked out. The treasurer did not expect that this person was Fang Guancheng, and his heart was surprised and happy, and then he looked at the word, one by one was really a dragon flying phoenix dance, many times stronger than the old one. He looked up and saw that there was no Fang Guancheng, and hurried out to catch up, where there was still a trace! The treasurer asked someone to frame Fang Guancheng's characters and hang them on the wall of the door again, and the shop looked much more magnificent.
This incident soon spread in Zhao Zhou City, and people came to watch it. Since then, the restaurant's business has become more prosperous.
