Unexpectedly, after his wife ate it, she not only didn't praise the delicious snacks in the shop, but even said with disdain, "The snacks in the teahouse are so weak, nothing can compare with my melon corner snacks!"
After hearing this, the master was naturally unconvinced and asked his wife to make a "melon horn" for him to taste! My wife made a unique brown "melon horn" with melon sauce, sugar and flour; When master Chaozhou ate it, it was really sweet and delicious, and he couldn't help but praise the snacks of his husband's family!
The next day, master Chaozhou took the "Winter Melon Corner" back to the teahouse for everyone to taste. As a result, the owner of the teahouse was full of praise after eating, asking who made the snacks in which teahouse?
The masters said, "Chaozhou's daughter-in-law did it!" So the boss casually said it was "Chaozhou old woman cake" and asked Chaozhou master to improve it and sell it in the teahouse. The result was well received! The "old woman cake" got its name.

The origin of old lady's cake
According to legend, in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty constantly levied various taxes on the people, and the people were severely oppressed and plundered, and there were constant uprisings all over the country.
One of the most representative teams is the Rebel Army led by Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's wife Ma Shi is a very clever person. At the beginning of the uprising, food was often insufficient because of the war at that time.
The army had to run around and fight. In order to facilitate the sergeant to carry dry food, Ma came up with some edible things, such as wheat and wax gourd, mixed them together, ground them into powder, made them into cakes and distributed them to the sergeant. It is not only easy to carry, but also easy to eat anytime and anywhere, which is of great help to marching and fighting.
Because the cakes made from this mess are unpalatable, smart people update their methods on the basis of this kind of cake. Finally, people found that cakes made of sugar wax gourd, wheat flour, cake powder, maltose, sesame and other raw materials are very delicious, sweet and delicious, and they are the ancestors of the old lady's cakes.
