Huangshi Gang Cake Huangshi's pastry food has a long history. It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, the "Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Cake" brought by Liu Bei to Soochow to recruit his bride was purchased in Huangshi. This was the predecessor of Huangshi Gang Cake. At that time, Huangshi was called Chuxiong Town and was located in To the east of Xisai Mountain is the political, economic and military center of the counties surrounding the Wu-Chu region. When Liu Bei went to Soochow to find his bride, the fleet was here to replenish food and purchase gifts, including "dragon and phoenix wedding cakes". The legendary "Dragon and Phoenix Wedding Cake" is larger in diameter than the bowl, with an auspicious pattern of dragon and phoenix on it. The middle is made of sesame, sugar, sesame oil, osmanthus and other raw materials. It is golden in color, crisp and refreshing. Today's Huangshi Gang cake is said to be of the same origin. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Liu Fengtai grocery store in Liu Renba area of ??Daye County, about 40 miles away from Huangshi City. There was a pastry chef named Liu Heyi in the store. In order to attract business, he added orange cake and other raw materials to the dragon and phoenix cake, and stuck sesame seeds on both sides of the cake. This is the heyi cake. It is also said that during the Tongzhi period, Yin Hua, a businessman from Mupai in Daye County, partnered with Ma Limen to drive Pai to the Suzhou area to do business. Once, Yin and Ma drove a raft down the river to the Huangshi Port area. Because the water in the wooden raft was extremely fast and violent, they were unable to dodge and knocked over the oncoming salt boat. The salt merchant refused, and the lawsuit went all the way to the capital. Yin and Ma were afraid of losing the lawsuit, so they specially chose the local specialty Heyi cake as a gift when they came to Beijing. After arriving in Beijing, Yin and Ma presented Heyi cakes to all the officials, and attached a poem: The rows are like mountains falling, and the sailing boats are like swallows flying. Gold rings three times, why don't the swallows fly. Emperor Tongzhi saw this poem and thought it was reasonable, so he broke the wood and Pai Shang was not guilty. The lawsuit was won, and the raft merchant wanted to present a generous gift to the emperor, but he had to spend thousands of dollars to fight the lawsuit, and his pocket was empty, so he had to boldly offer the cake. Unexpectedly, Emperor Tongzhi was overjoyed after tasting it. He praised the crispy, refreshing and fragrant Heyi cake. He was so happy that he named it "Ruyi". Therefore, Heyi Pancake is also called Ruyi Pancake. Later, it was called Huangshigang Cake after the place of origin. Tofu skin: Tofu skin is a famous folk snack in Wuhan, Hubei Province.

Wuhan Hot Dry Noodles Wuhan Hot Dry Noodles, together with Shanxi Sliced ??Noodles, Guangdong and Guangxi Yifu Noodles, Sichuan Dandan Noodles and Northern Fried Soybean Noodles, are known as the five famous noodles in my country. They are a breakfast snack with Wuhan characteristics. There is an allusion to the origin of hot dry noodles: In the early 1930s, there was a food vendor named Li Bao in Changdi Street, Hankou, who made a living selling jelly and soup noodles in the Guandi Temple area. One day, the weather was extremely hot and a lot of leftover noodles were not sold. He was afraid that the noodles would go rancid, so he cooked the leftover noodles, drained them and hung them to dry on the chopping board. I accidentally knocked over the oil pot on the table and splashed sesame oil on the noodles. Seeing this, Li Bao had no choice but to mix the noodles with oil and let them dry again. The next morning, Li Bao scalded the cooked noodles mixed with oil in boiling water, took them out, drained them and put them into a bowl, then added the seasonings used to sell jelly noodles, making them steaming hot and fragrant. People rush to buy and eat with gusto. Someone asked him what kind of noodles he was selling, and he blurted out "hot dry noodles." From then on, he specialized in selling this kind of noodles. Not only people competed to taste it, but also many people came to learn from him. A few years later, a man surnamed Cai opened a hot-dry noodle shop at the Manchun intersection of Zhongshan Avenue.

Huangpi people pay attention to "sugar steaming". During every New Year's festive banquet, they make a mellow-colored red delicacy that symbolizes sweetness, happiness, happiness, and auspiciousness. It is sugar-steamed pork, and they serve it to guests. . This delicacy also has some connections with Su Dongpo in the Song Dynasty. Legend has it that Su Dongpo, a famous writer and gourmet in the Song Dynasty, visited Huangpi Mulan Mountain to give lectures when he was demoted due to the "Wutai Poetry Case" in the second year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty and was relegated to Huangzhou, Hubei. At that time, there were many scholars who admired his reputation. However, the powerful people learned about this matter. The imperial court in Shangshu slandered Su Dongpo and gathered people in Huangpi to slander the current court. After Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty listened to the treacherous words, he sent people to investigate and secretly visit the place where Huangpi lectured. No slanderous words were collected, so he used an ingenious idea to interview students to find flaws to incriminate Dongpo. Immediately, the examiner pointed to the small pagoda from a distance and said: "The pagoda has seven floors and is pointed in all directions." The students were embarrassed for a moment and raised their hands and shook their heads silently. At this time, the visitor scolded Dongpo: "You are not lecturing. You are clearly borrowing ancient satire for a different purpose. Why is it that no one can answer the question?" After hearing this, Dongpo smiled coldly and said, "You Didn’t the students answer the last sentence correctly one by one with their hands?” The visitor couldn’t help but ask: “What words did you answer?” Dongpo replied contemptuously: “The students all answered with their hands, shaking their jade hands with five fingers and two shorts. "Three Changs", why is it said that no one can answer it? "At this point, the visitor left Dongpo speechless and dejected. The students present admired Dongpo's knowledge and courage even more. At that time, in order to reward the teacher, the students bought Dongpo's favorite pork and brown and white sugar.

The careless student accidentally mixed the sugar and pork together. When he was unsure about whether to leave it or not, Dongpo saw this and walked slowly to read the letter: "The salty and idle officials don't bother to go, but the sweet and sour pork is called delicious." ." It means that the helper has left. Why not mix the sugar and meat to satisfy your appetite? So, under the guidance of Dongpo, the students added pork, sugar and other seasonings, mixed them well and steamed them together before eating. The dish had a unique flavor and everyone applauded it. Since then, the method of preparing steamed pork with sugar has been passed down in the local area.
