Masha Town, Jianyang City is an ancient cultural town and a land of merchants, and its food culture developed earlier. During the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, Masha Caijia Meat Pie was well-known both inside and outside the province, and later generations referred to it as "Masha Pie" for short. Some guests from Guangdong, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and other provinces who come to Masha for business and commercial trade have set up tea shops, mushroom shops and hemp shops in Masha. When foreigners come home, they will definitely bring "Cai Jia Meat Pie" as a gift. At that time, foreigners circulated: "When tourists come to Masha and bring cakes back to their hometown, everyone will praise their thumbs." It can be seen that Cai's meat pie was well-deserved at that time. Cai Jia's meat pie is characterized by its oblong shape, also known as "pork loin cake", which weighs about one or two times. The ingredients are made of fine white sugar, sesame seeds and fresh suet, and it is refined by pure materials, paying attention to color, fragrance and taste. It is said that "Masha cake" can last for one year and will not go bad. When it is eaten, it can restore its original flavor with only a slow fire, which is sweet, crisp and delicious. Some people praise it as: Eat. This is a high evaluation given by diners to Masha cake. There is a legend that Masha cake is famous: in ancient times, a fairy traveled here, disguised as a crazy beggar, begging along the street, and people avoided it when they saw it. In the evening, he begged at Cai's cake shop, and the owner looked at it and pitied him for his poverty. After dinner, he treated him with tea. The beggar still stood still and asked to stay overnight and leave the next day. The boss was helpless, so he had to put the chopping board for making cakes to sleep in front of the bed. The next morning, the boss got up and opened the shop. He found that the back entrance was still well closed, but no one was there. I saw a "sweat mark" on the chopping board and a message saying "Li Tie turned here for a visit". Since then, the shop has been booming, and the Cai family patties have become famous.
