On holidays and holidays, it is a thing of the past to visit relatives and friends with snack boxes, but there are still many memories in our snack boxes!


Origin of peach crisp:
It is said that during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, two chief assistants appeared in Jiangxi, Xia Yan and Yan Song, one loyal and the other traitor. Xia Yan, a native of Fenyi, was promoted by Xia Yan, but Yan Song framed him and sent his head to another place. Some of the descendants of Xia Yan fled to Guanzhou Village, Shangqing Dynasty. Some people passed down the techniques of making peach cakes by the court at the foot of the Jinlongtou Mountain. In a place near the Beiji Pavilion, they opened a port to start a fruit business and monopolize "palace peach cakes". In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, when visiting relatives and friends during holidays, he was given a packet of peach cakes. Each pound was a packet. The round, flat peach cakes were wrapped into a rectangle. One chopstick was long and half the root was wide, and the four corners were in a prismatic shape. The top was narrow and the bottom was wide. The wrapping was very particular. There were three layers inside and outside, with dried lotus leaves on the inner layer, and the second layer was thick straw paper. It was then tied with yellow paper or white paper, and a print was posted on it, like today's trademark. The crisp and sweet peach cakes were fragrant and tempting, and the taste really couldn't satisfy you from the words!
Later, Zhou Zonglin became famous after opening a peach cake shop in Beijing, and continuously updated the variety, increasing the original single court peach cake to more than 20 varieties today, making Beijing peach cake king famous at home and abroad.
