I went back to my hometown a few days ago and found that a food industrial park was being built in the new district. There is a building that impressively says Fengzhen Moon Cake Museum. The people who accompanied me thought it was a bit ridiculous to build a moon cake museum, but I thought it was very interesting. This move is very insightful and creative. It seems that the small moon cakes in my hometown have gradually become a climate, and I have begun to make a big industry and focus on creating a moon cake culture. To preserve and inherit the history of moon cakes in Fengzhen, it is necessary to build a museum, because the history of moon cakes in Fengzhen is not only a history of food technology, but also a story of joys and sorrows of people walking in the west, a strong homesickness complex of strangers, and a vivid folk picture scroll.
As long as I can remember, every year from January to July, near the Mid-Autumn Festival, all the moon cake shops in the street are open, and the fragrance of moon cakes is floating in the street. When I was a child, I often went to the nearby moon cake stove to see moon cakes. That refreshing smell floated into my heart at the moment when the moon cake was opened. It was an unforgettable taste.

In recent years, the moon cakes in Fengzhen have become more and more famous. With moon cakes, there are many fake versions in other places. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the moon cakes in Fengzhen shine brilliantly. On the eve of Mid-Autumn Festival, hundreds of mooncake ovens opened in August of the lunar calendar, and foreign vendors began to buy them in boxes and cars. The moon cakes were packed, and the merchants staged a moon cake war. Villagers in their hometown also began to process moon cakes and send them to their relatives in foreign lands. The whole alley is also talking about moon cakes. Moon cakes have become a specialty that people in Fengzhen can get their hands on, and they dare to compete with foreign bread, cakes, hamburgers and pizza. So Fengzhen moon cakes traveled all over the country and even reached the north shore of the Atlantic Ocean.
The moon cakes in my hometown are simple and heavy, without gorgeous packaging, exquisite patterns or even rough appearance, but some of them are as fresh, simple and simple as the moon cakes in my hometown, with a very grounded shape and aroma. This is its unique style. It looks a little rustic, but it can stand the test of taste Oil but not greasy, crisp but not dry, moist but not empty. Although there are many mooncake shops in Fengzhen in recent years, people from other places play with Fengzhen mooncakes anyway.

Fengzhen moon cake is a fengzhen on the tip of the tongue and a fengzhen on the tip of the heart. Looking back a hundred years ago, Shanxi merchants who went to the West brought the baking technology of Shanxi pasta to their lips, and also brought homesickness to their mouths. The difference between moon cakes and other cakes is that it embodies homesickness and reunion! My great-grandfather went to Fengzhen from Xinzhou, Shanxi, and worked as an apprentice in a pastry shop, commonly known as a pastry maker. After liberation, he worked as a master in Fengzhen Pastry Factory and taught his unique skills to his disciples without reservation. My great-grandfather left some beautiful moon cake molds for my little uncle, but I don't know where they are scattered. If there is, it must be donated to Fengzhen Moon Cake Museum.
