Fujian special snacks: light cakes, different cakes in different regions

First of all, the light cake introduces the broadcast.

The transcript is as follows:

The traditional snacks of Fujian Province, China, are mainly distributed in Songxi County, Pucheng County, Jianyang City, Jian'ou City and Shunchang County in Nanping City, Northern Fujian Province. In ancient times, Fuzhou scholars went to Beijing to take the exam, and often carried "light cake" as a food for the journey, because it was easy to carry, easy to eat, and easy to preserve, so it became a "three-poop dry food" with good quality and low price. In addition, when Fuzhou people visit tombs on ancestor sacrifice days and the Annual Qingming Festival, they are indispensable to "light cakes" among many offerings, which has become a distinct regional folk culture for people to remember their ancestors.

The history of light cakes has to start from Qi Jiguang's resistance to the Wo. According to the Fuzhou Chronicle: In the forty-second year of Ming Jiajing (1563), the anti-Wu hero Qi Jiguang led an army into Fujian to pursue and annihilate the Wukou, and it rained for several days, and the army could not open a gang, So Qi Jiguang ordered the baking of a simple kind of small cake, which was hung on the body of the soldier with hemp rope as dry food. Light cakes have been circulating ever since. Because of his meritorious service in helping the Qi family's army, it is said that the Jiajing Emperor gave him the name "Jiguang Cake". Also because the cake is slightly salty, it is also called salty light cake.

In the past, light cakes belonged to street food and were not elegant, but now Fuzhou people's banquet tables are also placed with light cakes. It may be that the feng shui takes turns, and now the big restaurants and hotels in Fuzhou also cut the light cake into clams, sandwiched with bad meat, tamales, snow red, moss, poured some vinegar and garlic juice, and treated as a special dim sum on the banquet. When Fuzhou people invite distant guests to taste light cakes, they must proudly introduce the legend of light cakes to guests. No one ever imagined that the light cake would have such a scenery as it is today.
