When Lucheng flinging cake was created, word of mouth legend. Legend has it that when Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty was driving in Luzhou, Weifu privately visited the south gate of Lucheng County, and suddenly it rained heavily, and the master servant walked into a ramen fire shop to eat and wanted to eat a bowl of ramen. As a result, when the shop guy Qin Heng was making noodles, he put more water, and he couldn't hold the sloshing, and accidentally dropped the dough into the oil basin. The shopkeeper Master Dong Fang quickly took out the dough that had fallen into the oil basin, rolled it out into a round cake on the board, sprinkled with pretzel noodles, and rolled the cakes on both sides into a circle with a rolling stick. Because the water hurt when rolling the dough, when rolling out the cake slices, the dough has a contraction, so Master Dong will roll out, shake a shake, and when the cake slices are thrown thick and evenly, they are immediately placed on the hot tweezers. But as soon as the slice of bread was hot, because the thin surface of the skin immediately bulged up, he was in a hurry, with his fingers to poke a hole in the place of the drum, suddenly the hole opened and ran, and Dong Fang's fingers were also burned, and he couldn't help but dip in the onion pot, and brought out the green onion on his hand, he casually threw the green onion on the cake, turned over a lid and immediately served it to the guests. Li Longji asked while eating, "What is this cake called?" Thin and soft, burnt and fragrant, delicious. Dong Fang couldn't answer. Li Longji said: "I see that your cake is round, so let's call it 'throwing cake'." Later, Li Longji became the emperor to inspect Luzhou, and the government set up a banquet to entertain him, and when Li Longji saw that there was no "throwing cake", the government sent a fast horse to the Lucheng Chengnan Hotel to get the cake to help him. At this time, Dong Fang, who was in charge of throwing cakes, knew that the guest who ate the first time to eat the flinging cakes in the past few years was Tang Minghuang, so he wrote a sign of "flinging cake shop" and hung it outside the store, and the merchants came to the small shop to eat the "flinging cakes" that the emperor had eaten, and since then the flinging cakes have become a brand-name product in the Lucheng area, which has been continued to this day.

When eating, roll up thin slices of bacon, dip in garlic paste and eat, rich and delicious, not crispy, not rotten, not soft and not hard, the more chewy the more fragrant, the evocative endless.
The essentials of making bread: First, the proportion of dry powder and water should be appropriate when making noodles. The dough is tied thoroughly and evenly, leaving the basin and leaving the hand. Second, the operation should be neat. When making cakes, hand-eye cooperation, kneading, rolling, folding, disc shape is just right, the action is correct, the cake is thrown out of the cake thickness is uniform, the size is the same. The third is to master the heat. The flinging cake must be fired with charcoal. The fire is black, and the fire is small and colorless. Therefore, a layer of laterite clay is pasted under the cake tweezer, and the cake can be burned to achieve the effect of soft outside.
