Sister-in-law's cake looks like a chess cake, but it is slightly bigger than a chess cake. All the ingredients are similar to sugar, such as flour, sugar, sesame seeds, lard and so on. But they taste better than crisp sugar, and they are oily but not greasy, crisp but not scattered, fragrant and waxy, and salty in sweetness.

It is said that 100 years ago, the couple learned the good craft of making crisp candy in a tea shop named Fang Tianshun in Wuzhen. Because of its unique formula, fine production and surprisingly good taste, it is deeply loved by villagers. In order to maintain the exclusive operation, Fang Jia made a family rule that the key technology was passed from daughter to daughter. Because the daughter will get married sooner or later, the secret recipe of the ancestors will not be learned.

I don't know how many generations it has been passed down. There is a man and a woman in this family. The son already has a daughter-in-law, and the daughter is not married. Of course, Fang inherited the ancestral teachings and refused to pass on his skills to his daughter. After a long time, girls will inevitably be jealous.

One day, my sister-in-law prepared the ingredients and temporarily left the powder pot where the ingredients were put. The girl next to her shook and stirred a bag of salt into the jar, counting on the embarrassment of her sister-in-law.

At dawn the next day, the whole family got up early to open the door as usual. After the customer bought it and tasted it, he praised "the taste of salt and pepper is great!" When the news reached Fang Er, he was suddenly confused by two monks. Look for the reason carefully and know nothing. That night, Mr. and Mrs. Fang made the crisp candy for the next day by themselves.

I didn't expect many people to buy pretzels on this day, which made Fang feel ridiculous. However, I have been making shortbread all my life, but I can't make shortbread like yesterday. The girl was relieved to see that "making a fool of herself is the right thing to do". After dinner, I sat down in front of my parents, told the truth and asked them to forgive me. Instead of blaming, Fang was overjoyed. He quickly lifted his daughter up and the family discussed it.

The next day, it should be in the city, and the town was a sensation.
