Nine niang cake

Suzhou people eat steamed cakes, which is said to have started at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Zhang Shicheng (132 1 ~ 1367) escaped with his mother because of an accidental injury. At that time, it was the Cold Food Festival, and there was nowhere to beg. He hasn't eaten for days. His old mother fainted from hunger, and Zhang Shicheng burst into tears when she saw that she was starving to death. An old man saw that Zhang Shicheng was very filial to his mother and son, so he made him a cake with only a few distillers' grains at home, and Zhang Shicheng's mother was finally saved.

A few years later, Zhang Shicheng rebelled in the Soviet Union and became king, thinking of the rescuer at that time. In order not to forget this matter, Zhang Shicheng ordered the Cold Food Festival to eat wine and spoil the cake, and named it "Mother-saving Cake". Later, Zhang Shicheng was captured alive by Zhu Yuanzhang and committed suicide on the way to Yingtianfu. At that time, no one dared to call the cake "Mother-saving Cake", but Suzhou people still had a good impression on Zhang Shicheng and quietly renamed it "Mother-saving Cake" as "nine niang Cake". Up to now, Suzhou people still have the custom of eating "Jiuniang cake" in spring.
