Qibao square cake

When it comes to Qibao Square Cake, we have to mention Fan Zhongyan, a famous scholar in Song Dynasty. When Fan Zhongyan was a child, his family was poor and his three meals a day were all porridge. Every winter night when he studies, he freezes porridge on a plate, then cuts it into pieces and eats one when he is hungry. When Shi Haiqing, his classmate, knew about this, he had glutinous rice flour modeled after Fan Zhongyan's production method, made glutinous rice cakes, and sent them every day until Fan Zhongyan won the prize. They named the square cakes "white soft cakes". The present Qibao Square Cake has been handed down from this, and it has the meaning of wishing a high promotion. There is a poem that says it well: "How high the human heart is, it is harmonious to make food." Just take the year to win the year, and pray for the year. " Qibao Square Cake is made by grinding glutinous rice and japonica rice into powder with a mortar, mixing them with sugar water, sieving them evenly, rubbing them into fine particles, putting them into a one-foot square steamer and cooking them.
