Shortbread is a snack from my hometown (Zi Tong) that smells enticing and tastes great. It was once a royal tribute. However, this kind of cake is not always available, and can only be eaten in the spare time of the farmer. Especially in the middle of summer, when farmers are busy with the work in the fields, the shortbread made from freshly ground wheat flour in their spare time is particularly delicious, and in the countryside, almost every girl in every household will make it.
