Why steam cakes in the New Year?
In rural Laiyang, the best thing to eat during the New Year is to eat fat cakes for nothing. Starting from New Year's Eve, every household has to offer sacrifices to the kitchen god, the god of wealth, the god of heaven and earth, the family hall (also known as the bodhisattva), the ancestors (also known as the mother of the old father-in-law) and so on. And the offerings of this sacrifice are indispensable. Laiyang people make jujube cakes during the Spring Festival for good luck. Cake is made of dough, which means "Dafa". "Jujube" is homophonic with "early", so jujube cake contains the meaning of "early hair" and "big hair". Whether looking forward to a prosperous career or eager for a developed career, in short, the word "fat" really contains the good wishes of Laiyang people for a better life.

Jiaodong pasta, which has a history of thousands of years, shows the intelligence of Laiyang people, is the pride of the Chinese nation and a beautiful landscape of Jiaodong pasta culture. You can not only feel the unique folk culture of Li Xiang, but also feel the yearning and blessing of Laiyang people for a better life.

Laiyang people have holidays, such as Spring Festival, February 2nd, July 7th, birthdays, weddings, births, promotions, etc. Every family should make some delicious cakes to express their joy. Laiyang Popo has a long history. It is the main food for offering sacrifices to ancestors, relatives and friends, and it is also a beautiful scenery of Jiaodong pasta culture.

Laiyang flower cake is not only kneaded by hand, but also made with a variety of tweezers, which is simple and convenient, colorful, beautiful and vivid.
