Sesame seed cake is named after its shape and color are similar to those of horseshoe seeds. In the memory of many people born after 70 s and 80 s, they are very impressed, crispy and full of wheat fragrance. In that era of food shortage, cooking a pot of sweet potato and a piece of pickles in Yimeng mountain area was a meal. Pancakes are the staple food all year round, and there are few cornmeal steamed buns, so we can only keep them for jiaozi's holidays.

Sesame seed cake is a local specialty pasta, which is baked in the same vat in the stove. Just like white flour steamed bread, it is only seen when relatives at home are on business trips. I still remember that time, when my son married a woman and went on a business trip, I invited guests, or invited some biscuits and steamed bread back, which only children could eat. The delicious wheat flour tastes memorable.

Nowadays, the biscuits are baked in the oven, and the noodles are soft, but I still remember the old taste when I was a child.

Today, I met an uncle selling this authentic old-fashioned sesame seed cake in the street. It's really ugly. My uncle is from furong village in the south of the city. He looks thin, but he is very capable. He packed his bags and said he could handle the money easily, but there was no WeChat. The old tradition only accepts cash. I still have to let the big sister who sells shoes buy it first and then send it to her on WeChat.

My uncle talked with me for a while while selling sesame cakes. My uncle said that he learned the craft of baking wheat cakes from his father, and he has been a baker for almost 30 years. He used to sell it at home. Recently, the village was demolished, and he moved to the mountains. The villagers also moved. After baking the wheat cake, he took it to the city with a tricycle and sold it in the market. So I was lucky enough to meet them and buy them. This is also an opportunity.

Perhaps this sesame seed cake is not a kind of food, but an ordinary pasta, but it has remained in many people's memories. The carrier and symbol of nostalgia are clearer, more tasteful and more mellow, which may be a lifetime memory.
