The method of making Jianou Guangbing

The furnace for baking Guangbing is made of a large pottery jar. There are blast furnaces and low furnaces. The blast furnace needs to first make a wooden frame, build the bottom of the furnace with bricks, then cover the pottery jar upside down, and open a furnace door at a height of about one person in front of it for loading charcoal fire, pasting cakes, and taking cakes. The pottery jar of the low furnace is relatively small and does not require a wooden frame. Only the furnace body is placed on the ground. Many bakeries in the city use blast furnace baking, hence the name blast furnace cake. Rural light cakes are often baked in low ovens, hence the name low oven cakes. The blast furnace has a large capacity, uniform upward firepower, and fast roasting. The low furnace has a small capacity, and the charcoal fire is stored in an iron basket and radiated from the center to the surrounding areas, so the roasting process is slow
