After eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many kinds of mooncakes nowadays, but there is a traditional Soviet-style mooncake shop near Bajiaotang in Xinzhou District, which has always been loved by the public.
This Soviet-style mooncake, first of all, is its crispy texture. Song Dynasty poet Su Shi’s poem “Small cakes are like chewing moon, with crispy and sweet meat” refers to the Soviet-style mooncakes. The su-style mooncakes are crispy and the fillings are fat but not greasy. The entrance is extremely fragrant, so to make authentic Soviet-style mooncakes, the current machinery and equipment are incapable.
The owner, Mr. Xie, said that the shop will be very busy during the festivals, and the brothers and sisters at home will come to help.
Layers of meringue are wrapped with specially-tuned fillings, and they are repeatedly kneaded through traditional techniques. When they are baked over a slow fire, you can smell the overflowing fragrance, which tastes very much like the craftsmanship of the grandmother when I was a child.
Although this shortbread shop has only been open in the city for more than ten years, the owner, Master Xie, has been making pastries in Guangfeng Yangkou with his family since he was more than 10 years old. He is now 65 years old.
It is also a kind of happiness to pass the inner blessing for the festive season through the temperature of the palm of the hand to the sweet mooncakes. This is also the taste of the memory of the older generation.
