sesame candy

Changzhou sesame candy has a long history and unique flavor. According to legend, as early as the Tang Dynasty, the local people began to make a kind of sesame candy, called sesame candy, with caramel and sesame seeds. By the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the wolf smoke was everywhere, and the nomads from the army invaded the south on a large scale. Zhao Gou, the King of Kang, fled from the capital city of Bianliang to the south, and was partial to the south of the Yangtze River. He blindly compromised and made peace, and he didn't want to recover the lost land in the north. The people are very resentful about this. At that time, I once wrote a poem: "When will the singing and dancing in the West Lake stop?" The warm wind makes tourists drunk and makes Hangzhou Bianzhou! " To vent their dissatisfaction. The common people in Changwu area use another form to express their desire to resist gold and recover lost land. They changed the spherical hemp candy into a cylindrical shape like a ware, and gave it to Kang Wang to inspire its courage to resist the rejuvenation of the country. It is not known whether Zhao Gou, the King of Kang, was inspired and courageous. However, Changzhou Sesame Sugar was made into a cylindrical shape from then on and continues to this day. Changzhou sesame candy has fine selection of materials and exquisite production. Sesame is required to be covered with no skin, sealed at both ends without stuffing leakage, the sugar layer is not stiff, the taste is sweet and crisp, and it is not sticky to teeth. The color is white and bright, and the thickness and length are generally uniform, with just 20 sticks per catty. It is indeed a good gift for home travel and giving to relatives and friends.
