Although it is a specialty of Jieyang, I believe that many Jieyang people have a question like the editor: Why is there no ping-pong in "ping-pong cake"?
Don’t answer:
There is no wife in the wife cake,
There is no cotton in the cotton candy,
Why should there be ping pong in the ping pong cake?
The reason why table tennis cake is called table tennis cake is that it turns out to be an "old"...
Jieyang table tennis cake has been circulating among the people for a long time. At the earliest, it evolved from the famous Chaozhou small rat-eating Qujiu. The Rat Qu Kui is produced in Chaoshan area.
In the late Southern Song Dynasty, in order to avoid war and resist hunger, people in Jieyang County mixed rat quince grass into glutinous rice and ground them into glutinous rice to make rat quince cake. Due to the aroma of saxanthus, this cake is popular. Later, the cake is made of saxanthus and bran.
It became famous in Chaozhou area during the Ming and Qing dynasties and became famous overseas. There was a master named Li in the south gate of Jieyang County, late Qing Dynasty who specialized in the management of Benzi mashed rice cakes. He not only maintained the original flavor characteristics, but also used wooden molds to add printed patterns on the cakes and used tofu film as the bottom. After cooking, it was cooked and applied a thin layer of peanut oil to the outside of the cakes, making Benzi mashed rice cakes more popular.
In the early 1950s, when outsiders bought ping pong cakes in Jieyang, the false idea was passed down as ping pong cakes.
It turns out that the original name of ping pong cake is Benzi mash cake...
