The history of Zhoucun sesame cakes
According to research, Shandong Zhoucun sesame cakes originated from Hu cakes in the Han Dynasty. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, merchants gathered in Zhoucun, Shandong Province, and various Shandong snacks were produced in response to the time. A baking equipment called Hu Cake Oven was introduced to Zhoucun, Shandong Province. Based on the characteristics of thin and crispy coke cakes, restaurant chefs used the method of pasting and baking Hu Cake to create Shandong Dasu Shaobing.
In the sixth year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1880), the old Shaobing shop surnamed Guo in Zhoucun, Shandong Province, "Shandong Juzhai", devoted itself to the research and development of the production process of Shaobing. After several improvements, Shandong Zhoucun Shaobing had a brand-new look and unique flavor is released.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, descendants of the "Shandong Juzhai" family surnamed Guo joined the state-owned Zhoucun Food Factory of Shandong Province with the recipe and production skills of Dasu Shaobing. In 1979, Dasu Shaobing was registered under the trademark "Shandong Zhoucun" and was officially named "Shandong Zhoucun Brand" Shandong Zhoucun Shaobing.
