Hada huoshao

Also known as barbell fire, it has a history of more than 200 years in Chifeng. Its shape is like a small round box that is closed up and down. The production method is special, mainly using salt and alum to make dough, adding butter and sugar to knead it repeatedly, pressing it with a barbell until it is firm, and then putting it into a mold and baking it in an oven. It is not afraid of extrusion, freezing and sun exposure, and it is not easy to go moldy and deteriorate. It can be put in a car, on a horse or in a wallet. In the old days, local people had to pack a bag of "fire" when they traveled, so it was convenient and affordable to satisfy hunger or give gifts to relatives and friends from a long distance.
