Blind Man Cake was created by a blind man during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, hence the name Blind Man Cake. It has been one hundred and sixty years ago.

The blind man's name is He Shengchao. When he was eight years old, he became blind due to a poor family and no money for medical treatment. He gave birth to two sons. The eldest son has been serving his father since he grew up. I came up with a method: Grind dry cooked rice into rice flour, add sesame seeds and peanuts, and mix well with raw oil to make rice cakes, called "meat cakes". Blind Gong Cake was actually not created by Blind Gong, but by his son. Buyers were accustomed to buying cakes from Blind Gong, so they called it "Blind Gong Cake".

Extended information

Blind male cake is made entirely of glutinous rice with sugar, peanuts, sesame seeds, pork, raw oil and other high-quality raw materials. The pork sandwiched in the cake is made in a more exquisite and exquisite way. It is marinated in fine white sugar for several months (at least a few days) before being taken out and prepared. It tastes sweet, crispy and delicious, and is well-known at home and abroad. For more than a hundred years, the production method has been simple, using earthenware pots to hold the ingredients and baking them, and the production was done while sitting, which was extremely inefficient.

It was not until the public-private partnership in 1955 that the chopping board system was used and standing production was adopted. Due to improved operating methods, production efficiency has been greatly improved. At present, product specifications are available in two sizes, the large one is six per tube, and the small one is ten per tube, or can be packaged in cartons or tin cans.
