Jian 'ou light cakes are usually baked in a blast furnace. The traditional scone oven stands on a wooden frame with a brick at the bottom, and then it is turned upside down with a large pottery jar with an opening the size of an oven door. When baking a cake, stick the cake blank on the left, right and top of the inner wall of the furnace. When the cake is about to be cooked, the baker will put out the fire with water, and the steam will fill the oven chamber in an instant, and as many as 100 cakes can be baked at a time. The store also prepared a special paper fan to fan the stove with tung oil, and at the same time observed the degree of cake baking and adjusted the heat. The baked light cake is golden in color, surrounded by silver, unique in flavor, good in taste and memorable. Jian 'ou Guangbing has evolved into nearly 10 varieties, such as black sugar cake, light meat pie, sesame meat pie, ginger onion cake, shrimp meat pie, crispy meat pie, laorentou cake and Jingkui cake.
