Sole er sesame seed cake

Sole sesame seed cake is a specialty of Zaoqiang County, Hengshui City, Hebei Province. The history of Zaoqiang sole sesame seed cake can be traced back to a man named Song Shanzhuang (1895-1969) in Zaoqiang County. In the early years of the Republic of China, he baked sesame cakes in the Songjia Hutongkou, east of Nantou Road, Old Cross Street, the county seat. At that time, there were three kinds of sesame cakes he made: one was a round sesame cake with a dead face, which was buckled with sesame seeds outside and bulged like a fried cake when heated; One is a round sesame cake without sesame seeds; The last one is sesame seed cake with sole. At that time, the sesame seed cake with sole was not famous and didn't sell fast. When I arrived at Song Shanzhuang's apprentice Jiang Cunbo (nicknamed Si Mazi), the sesame seed cake with sole began to become famous. Jiang Cunbo is a native of Jiangzhuang, west of Zaoqiang City. He learned to make sesame cakes from his distant uncle Song Shanzhuang in his early years. In the mid-1940s, he also opened a baked wheat cake workshop in Old Cross Street, the county town, and went to Jixian City to do baked wheat cake business three years later. After the reform and opening up, he went out of the dining hall of Zaoqiang County to go it alone and returned to his old job at Old Cross Street. With the improvement of people's living standards, this kind of sesame seed cake with sole for meat has become popular, and his business is getting better and better.
