Said disgustedly: "The refreshments in the teahouse are so insipid that nothing can match my mothers refreshments, Donggua Jiao!" After listening to this, the teacher was naturally dissatisfied and asked his wife to make "winter melon horns" for him to taste! The wife used winter melon paste, sugar and flour to make a distinctive "winter melon horn" with burnt yellow. When the Chaozhou master eats it, the taste is really sweet and delicious, so he cant help but praise the wifes dessert! The next day, the Chaozhou master took the "winter melon horn" back to the teahouse to invite you to taste. As a result, the owner of the teahouse was full of praise after eating. He asked who made the snacks in the teahouse. Teachers said, "Chaozhou wife made it!" So the boss casually said that it was "Chaozhou wifes cake", and asked the Chaozhou master to improve it and sell it in the teahouse, the result was highly praised! "Wife Cake" got its name.
