[Reporter Wang Shanyan/Report from Chiayi] There is a custom of eating moist cakes during the Ching Ming Festival. On the second day of the Ching Ming Festival holiday, the East Market in Chiayi City was flooded with people buying ingredients early in the morning. There was a long queue in front of the bakery shop. The "Dong Market Spring Roll" has been passed down for three generations. "Squid" because manpower is not enough to make spring rolls, the Ching Ming Festival holiday was changed to a monopoly cake moistening, 12 fires were fully turned on, and the boss began to "rub" the pancake crust at 3:00 in the morning until noon, in response to the public's demand for moistening pancakes.

Wang Xueqin, the third generation of "Dongshi Market Spring Roll Squid", said that in previous years, spring rolls were mainly sold during the Ching Ming Festival, and a small amount of pie crust was sold. They sell more pie crusts, so they changed to only sell pie crusts, but they are open every day without rest for 5 days.

Wang Xueqin said that because of the rainy weather on the first day of the Tomb-sweeping Day holiday yesterday, there were fewer people buying. This morning, customers made more reservations to buy. The main raw material is flour, and the price of flour and other items has risen. This year, the price of 1 catty of moist cake skin is 200 yuan, which is 20 yuan higher than last year.

The "Gaojia Cuisine" in Dongshi Market, which has also been passed down for three generations, has 14 ovens in full swing today, and there is an endless stream of customers buying moist pancakes.

The owner of "Gaojia Cuisine" said that last year, the pie crust sold for 180 yuan per catty. Because the price of flour and wheat flour has increased, this year the price has increased by 20 yuan compared with last year, and the price is 200 yuan per catty; There are only a lot, but this year, due to the ease of the pneumonia epidemic in Wuhan, there are more people visiting the market. Therefore, from the early morning, the 14 ovens will be fully fired to "rub" and moisten the pie crust to meet the demand for purchasing moist pie crust.

The former customers of "Gaojia Cuisine" waited in line to buy pie crusts.
