Gutian guangbing

Commonly known as light cake, round, with a small bowl size, leaving a small hole in the middle, threading into a string to hang, also known as hanging cake. According to legend, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the enemy repeatedly invaded the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the company commander Qi Jiguang led the troops to the coastal Pingkou. Because the enemy came from the sea, Qi Jiajun ambushed at the seaside, and the people made a lot of cakes hanging around the necks of the soil to satisfy their hunger, so that Qi Jiajun could successfully pacify the enemy. Jiajing Emperor gave it the name "Jiguang Cake". The light cake is mainly made of flour. After fermentation, it is mixed with refined salt, sesame seeds, shredded onion, etc., kneaded into a round shape, and baked by fire. The taste is crispy and slightly salty, which is very delicious. With the improvement of living standards, the varieties and tastes of light cakes are more diverse. Now there are light cakes with onion meat, light cakes with peanuts and crispy light cakes in Jian 'ou on Gutian Street, which are also deeply loved by the public.
