The Origin of Baodi Hometown Sugar Cake

The origin of sugar cakes in Baodi's hometown comes from fishing in the old cross talk. Couples in cross talk have a son named Erzi, and Tianjin folklore calls him Erzi Dad and Erzi Niang. It is said that Er's mother is keen to watch her neighbors fish and eat fish, while Er's father likes to brag and go fishing, so he has to catch up early when he goes fishing, so he asked Er's mother to bake a candy cake with him to make up for it. As a result, I didn't catch the fish, but I asked for two sugar cakes the next morning. Then I did the same thing again, and my appetite increased greatly. So on the third day, Er Er Ma, you baked me three sugar cakes. This sentence spread all over the streets of Tianjin Wei and became the mantra of people's jokes. As early as after the founding of New China, he created the cross talk of "Fishing Pai", which was later adapted into cross talk by Ma and Co-operation. It is Gao Yingpei and Fan Zhenyu that really make fishing and confectionery famous all over the country. They further re-edited and re-created the jokes around 1958, and then introduced them and circulated them for a long time.
