 Ji Zai Biscuits Ji Zai Biscuits, Guangzhou's leading kind of biscuits, was originally known as "Xiao Feng Biscuits". Legend has it that Ji Zai Biscuits were created by a female domestic helper of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). But, the biscuits didn't become famous until half a century later when, frustrated by the sluggish sales of mid-autumn festival moon cakes, biscuit makers at Guangzhou's Chengzhu Teahouse made the bold move to adopt the Xiao Feng biscuit production technique and use a mixture of mashed moon cakes, pork and cabbage hearts as fillings to produce sweet, salty and crispy flavor. Due to their extraordinary flavor and extra crispiness, the biscuit became an instant hit among customers. |

They can also be used as filling for buns and moon cakes or as an ingredient for instant glutinous rice, cured meat rice, and triple-flavored chicken. As early as the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) Dynasties, Arabians and Indians who traveled to Guangzhou to promote scriptures or do business brought sausage food with them. Subsequently, Guangdong's meat processor used the experience of foreign products and renovated their own techniques, eventually bringing the present-day Guangzhou-style cured sausages. |
