1, instant-boiled mutton

"Instant-boiled mutton" is a special flavor. But it has something to do with Kublai Khan. 700 years ago, when Kublai Khan led the army in Yuan Shizu, he wanted to eat delicious "stewed mutton" on the grassland. The army chef immediately slaughtered the sheep and picked the meat. Unexpectedly, it was too late to make "stewed mutton". The cook sliced the mutton, put it in the pot and fished it out. He put some condiments on it. Kublai Khan was hungry, ate it to meet the enemy and won. He also ordered the chef to do the same thing and suggested putting a lot of seasonings. Ministers were full of praise after eating, and Kublai Khan named him "instant-boiled mutton"

2. Ham

"Ham" was invented by Zong Ze, a famous singer in Song Dynasty. Zong Ze is an eagle. Because he won many wars, people carried pigs to express their condolences. At that time, there was too much pork to eat, so Zong Ze ordered people to cut off the leg and pickle it. Because the pickled pork leg is wet and heavy, it is not convenient to carry in March, so it is often dried in the sun for a few days, and then hung in the wind to dry. After a long time, my legs are red as fire, and everyone calls it "ham".

3. Saha cake

It is said that it was invented in 1832 by Thirny, an Australian diplomat, and Saha, a French full-time chef in France, at the age of 16. Because Mace Thirny, a diplomat, loves sweets, he has to taste different desserts every day. So, Saha tried to combine many ingredients that don't usually make snacks, and finally completed this "Saha cake". Later, in 1876, Louis Saha's son Edward founded Louis Saha Hotel, and together with his wife Anna developed this snack, which became one of the famous cakes in France.

4. Wedding cake

Wedding cake is said to have first appeared in ancient Rome. The word cake comes from English. Its original meaning is flat bag, which also means "happiness". In ancient times, when children of rich families held weddings, they had to make a special cake. Not only did the bride and groom eat it at the wedding reception, but they also invited guests to celebrate the wedding. The guests hope that they can share the happiness of the newlyweds. So, at that time, the cake maker cut it on the bride's head. Guests invited to the wedding in Europe also have a habit of piling their own spiced bread high on the table and letting the bride and groom kiss each other on both sides of the "bread mountain". At this time, the bread mountain also symbolizes happiness.

5. Old Lady Cake

The old woman cake is a traditional name of the Han nationality in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, and it is the most common cake with the least materials and the simplest workmanship. According to legend, there is a famous old teahouse in Guangzhou. One day, a Chaozhou pastry chef in the teahouse brought home the signature refreshments in the shop for his wife to eat. Unexpectedly, after his wife ate them, she not only didn't praise the store, but even said with disdain that it was not as good as her melon seeds. Hearing this, the master asked his wife to make a "melon horn" for him to taste! My wife made a unique "melon horn" with wax gourd sauce, sugar and flour. When the master eats it, it tastes really sweet and delicious. This delicious melon horn was named "Chaozhou old woman cake" and later evolved into today's "old woman cake".

When I was a child, my parents worked together. I'm still a kid with a key around my neck. Grandma doesn't like girls who refuse to help my parents take care of me and my sister. So for a while, I went home to do my homework and stayed alone for an hour or two. Later, my grandfather came. He and my sister came to pick me up from school and then took us to the pavilion in the park to do our homework. One day, he bought us two ice creams, which are spherical plastic shells with an openable lid. After we finished eating, he washed the shell and left it. Then every day we can eat his "ice cream" frozen in advance, which contains milk, sugar and water. This is the best ice cream I have ever eaten.

7. User stories

In high school, my crush on my deskmate was top student+facial paralysis. I am particularly sleepy in class in the afternoon. Every day, he has a whole mint in his drawer. Steal one every time you are sleepy. The cold and spicy feeling will refresh me, but it will be a bit monotonous after eating it. I asked him, "why is it blueberry candy every day?" Can you change your taste? " His face is expressionless. "Didn't you say you like blueberries before?"
