According to legend, at the end of the fifth dynasty, the Later Zhou general Zhao Kuangyin sat on the furnace bridge to attack Shouzhou, unable to attack for a long time, irritable, and poor appetite. The pastry family in the town of Furnace Bridge made this pastry offering, and Zhao's appetite increased greatly after tasting it. Then he attacked Shouzhou in one breath, and later he became the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, saying that this point saved his "driving", and the "great rescue driving" was named after it.
The shape of the big rescue driver is flat and round, the middle is rapid whirlpool-like, and the multi-layered flowers are stacked, like gold wire coiled, clear and not chaotic, so the hometown people also call this "mille-feuille cake".
Its finished color is milky white and moist, and when it is eaten, it is fried in boiling oil and taken out, and the milky white becomes golden brown, and it can be eaten. The crust is crispy, the filling is fine and soft, and its aroma has penetrated the heart, making you salivate, taste a bite, oily but not greasy, crispy and sweet.
Its production raw materials are not complicated, mainly including pork plate oil, kumquat cake, walnut kernels, green plums, green and red silk, rock sugar, white sugar, sugar osmanthus flowers, etc., but the process is quite elaborate, handed down to this day, basically family inheritance. At present, there are not many shops that can make it, and the taste is very good, especially the freshly baked one, which is extremely delicious, often in short supply, and needs to be booked in advance.

In September 2018, one of the most famous traditional snacks in Tengchong, Yunnan Province, was rated as one of the top ten classic dishes in Yunnan by "Chinese Cuisine".
Big rescue
According to legend, at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Sangui led the Qing army into Kunming, and the Yongli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty fled to western Yunnan, and the Qing army pursued it. Li Dingguo, the leader of the Great Western Army of the peasant rebel army, ordered the general Jin Tongwu to escort the Yongli Emperor to Tengchong, when it was late, and the group had walked for a day on the mountain road, exhausted and hungry. Finding a farmhouse, the owner stir-fried the best food in the family and made a dish of bait, ham, eggs, and greens. After eating it, the Yongli Emperor said approvingly: "The fried bait block saved the great driver of Yuan." Since then, Tengchong fried bait blocks have an alias - "big rescue".
Bait blocks can be made into various shapes, except for the filament called bait wire, the rest regardless of cake shape, roll shape, block shape is called "bait". The fried bait block is the most abundant bait block, so every year on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the Kunming people's tradition is to fry the bait block to eat. Cut the bait into small square slices, add slices of ham, sour pickles, green onions, leeks, pea tips and stir-fry, pour sweet and salty soy sauce, mix with a little oil pepper, eat sweet and thick, salty and spicy, rich in color, strong as oil painting, concentrated on the sentiment of Dian flavor. Usually, it is not inappropriate to fry or cook or burn, and the border people are keen on "bait" and adhere to traditions without falling, which has been thousands of years.
Bake bait blocks
The raw material for making bait is rice, but you need to choose rice with good quality, flavor and stickiness. If it is made of glutinous rice, it is called "rice dumplings", and if it is made of glutinous rice milling powder, it is a rice cake, which is different from bait. Nowadays, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the rice dumplings and rice cakes with similar bait blocks are mostly made in the countryside during the New Year, and they need to be kneaded into various tricks. In the city, small strips made about five inches wide and about five inches long are sold in the vegetable market, but the name is called rice cake, mixed with glutinous rice products, which has lost its ancient meaning.
In the Southwest China Sichuan-Yunnan Qiangui region, bait blocks have a variety of nicknames. Such as: bait block, rice and so on. Moreover, the various names of the bait blocks are used interchangeably in the above places, and there is no single strict specific tendency.
