1, Xiaofeng is Wu Ziyuan's handmaid, from Shunde. It is said that one day in the early autumn of the fifth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1855), Wu Ziyuan, the shopkeeper, received foreign guests, and happened to be absent from the chef, so he ordered Xiaofeng to make a Cantonese dim sum for the guests. But there was no cooking material at home for a while, so I went to Chengzhulou to rub the stuffing of Huizhou plum vegetables and Wuren cakes (which happened to be the moon cake season at that time) all the year round, add fat pork cured with sugar, and then add refined salt and salt. After tasting it, the guests were deeply impressed by its sweetness, fragrance, crispness, sweetness, saltiness and sweetness, and their taste was unique. They greatly appreciated it and asked what the cake was called. Because this cake was skillfully made by Xiaofeng, the shopkeeper casually said it was "Xiaofeng cake".
One day, the host Wu Ziyuan received a guest from other places, and it happened that the pastry chef was not there. Xiaofeng took out the cookies she usually kept privately to satisfy her hunger, but the guests praised them after eating them, and later wrote a letter of praise. In fact, Xiaofeng just put away the leftovers from the usual banquet, added some plum vegetables and pressed them into cakes, and then asked the pastry chef to help him dry them. I didn't expect this kind of cake to be loose in my mouth and very delicious. Inspired by this unexpected discovery, Wu Ziyuan ordered the pastry chef to follow suit and named this cake "Xiaofeng Cake".
3. "Xiaofeng cake" is considered to be Liang's ancestral, and the name of "Xiaofeng" comes from its appearance resembling a chicken. Later, Cheng Zhulou registered "Chicken" as the trademark of "Xiaofeng Cake" in order to echo the folk custom of calling "Chicken" Feng.
