老婆餅

爸爸媽媽今天到元朗走了一圈,買來一盒元朗榮華老婆餅。盒上寫著:

「傳說有一對恩愛夫妻,媳婦甘願賣身為家翁治病。失去妻子的丈夫卻沒氣餒,努力研製出一款味道奇佳的餅,最終以賣餅賺錢把老婆贖回,重過幸福新生活。這款美食製法流傳至今,被稱為『老婆餅』。」

"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 gourmet 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'."

老婆餅的傳說真的是這樣的嗎?
