What's the point of marrying a girl cake?

Cantonese people who marry women will definitely ask men for women's cakes. The more women's cakes they marry, the more face their host family will have. .

In the past, wedding cakes were usually sent to the woman's house by the man when giving gifts. In the past, the number of cakes was only calculated as "burden", 1 burden = 100 kg, and 1 kg was divided into four or eight heads. Four cakes (big cakes) with four heads representing 1 kg, and eight cakes (pancakes) with eight heads representing 1 kg. Never say how many pieces, but use the expression of several loads, several pounds and several heads. When sending cakes, it must be an even number, which means yes-men. At least two cakes should be sent, commonly known as "double flat". Older relatives should be more than half a catty (two catties), and there is no upper limit for thinner relatives and friends. Four to six can be sent.

When the man's family gives gifts, we also want to send something back to the man's family. The man's house presents cakes, and the woman's house sends them back to the sweet brown fried pile.
