Red tortoise shell turtle pattern mold.

Wrapping the kneaded glutinous rice with stuffing and pressing it on the tortoise print will form a patterned "tortoise cake", which is very popular in some sacrificial festivals in southern Fujian.

In an old lane of Jukou Street, there is a place where tortoiseshell cakes are printed by hand. The shop is very small. It is both a shop and a studio. There are no signs in the shop. There are finished products, semi-finished products and raw materials of tortoiseshell cakes of various sizes in the room of seven or eight square meters. The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is the fifth generation successor of Pan's hand-carved skills-Pan Hairen.

In the sailor Pan's father's time, carved tortoiseshell prints and pastry prints were booming. Nowadays, with the upgrading of machine molds, many people no longer use hand-carved molds, but in any case, sailor Pan still insists on the craftsmanship handed down from generation to generation.
