jinyun clay oven rolls

"Jinyun sesame seed cake" has a long history. According to legend, in ancient times, Emperor Xuanyuan used a big iron tripod to refine elixir on stalagmites in Jinyun Xiandu. After refining, he ascended to heaven with the concubines and courtiers of Shidan. The courtiers who didn't eat elixir followed suit and refined elixir with cast iron tripod. When the villagers under the stalagmites in Xiandu saw it, they wondered, "Why did they eat from the iron tripod and ascend to heaven to become immortals?" Some also want to follow suit, but they end up without money. One day, a villager realized the truth and said to everyone, "If we eat what is in the iron tripod, we can't become immortals without money, but we can make earth tripods and eat what is burned from them in order to live forever, eliminate disasters and avoid evil spirits." After listening to it, everyone thought it was a reason, so they began to make earth ding and went up the mountain to collect medicine and refine the elixir. A village woman was baking cakes at home. Seeing that her son had just refined Dan medicine, she found that there was still charcoal fire in the earthen tripod and the inner wall was smooth, so she attached the cakes to the tripod wall and baked them. Slowly, the house was filled with the smell of baked cakes, and it overflowed the house, attracting other curious villagers. After eating, everyone found that the baked cakes were crisper and more delicious than those baked in the pot. Over time, the villagers found that the elixir refined by the earth-eating tripod could not live forever and avoid evil spirits, so they improved it one after another and made it into a barrel for baking cakes. Some villagers, on the other hand, carry special bucket-burning guests to other places and bake cakes for a living.
