My boss came back from Hong Kong and bought us some wife cake. I just wonder how this wife cake came by. For those who don't know the story, here the story goes.
Legend has it that back in feudal China, a daughter-in-law offered herself for sale in return for money to cure her ill-health father-in-law. In a desperate attempt to redeem his spouse, the husband created a gourment cake for sale in the bazaar. His product did pay off with the proceeds saved. The couple was able to get together again and lived happily ever after. His recipe then spread from place to place, winning the name "Wife Cake"
傳说有一对恩爱夫妻, 媳妇甘愿卖身为家公治病.
失去妻子的丈夫却没气馁, 努力制出一款味道奇佳的饼,
最终以卖饼赚钱把老婆买回,重过幸福新生活.这款美食制法
流傳至今,被称为 "老婆饼"
