The historical story of porridge
Legend has it that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a peddler in Guiyang surnamed Lu, who had a beautiful wife, and he was very affectionate with his wife. And his wife especially likes to eat some Guiyang snacks, so the Lu surname hawkers have a sudden idea, using glutinous rice flour and bowls of ear cakes, grinding them into pulp sweat and steaming, the color is white, pine is like snow, and then use bamboo slices to form blocks, dotted with roses, sesame seeds, peach kernel rice. The result is a very tender and sweet taste. So this became the flavor snack of Guiyang, people called "Lu Cake Dumpling", and then there were Song surnamed vendors on the side of the City God Temple (the west entrance of Datong Street), who changed the "Lu Cake Rice" into a garden shape, without adding any condiments, to make "Song Cake Dumpling". Garden-shaped cake rice with water chestnut powder mixed with "porridge" becomes a "cake porridge" loved by Guiyang people, and the taste is sweet.
