The first piece of bread and cake in Suzhou was released in Guangzhou Food Company. At that time, it was also called Ma Yushan candy biscuits.

In 1922, the Guangdong people Ma Yushan opened the Ma Yushan candy biscuit company from Shanghai to Suzhou, and the address was located in the position of the Dragon and Phoenix Gold Store in Guanqian Street today.

Initially, this was just an ordinary food mall, mainly selling Shanghai food, including oyster sauce, shrimp sauce, fruit juice beef, Chenpomei, various cans of Merlin, various biscuits of Malibao Mountain, Guangdong's Lami, honey, sweet orange, Shatian pomelo, etc. No one has thought that this store will affect the eating habits of Suzhou people in more than half a century in the future.

However, at first, for the sweet taste of these western in the West, Suzhou people who love to eat sweets are disdainful.

"However, its price is too much. Although the production is specially imitated in the western system, the sweetness is quite inferior. The Su people are not very welcome. Not sweet enough and expensive.

Therefore, the first merchant to produce western pastries in Suzhou was very difficult to survive at first.

This chicken -like buying and selling maintained in 1927, the owner Ma Yushan sold the company to a person named Zhao Dating because of his investment failure.

Zhao Dating is a business man with a brain. He first changed his name, and Guangzhou Food Company was soaring.

The second measure he took was to hire a group of hawkers. Everyone wore vests printed with the words "Guangzhou Food Company" and took the streets to carry breads produced by the company. "Black Bread" quickly captured the hearts of young people.

Imagine that if you can wake up in the same bread fragrance every morning, what's the reason not to taste something else?

In the store, the young man and female clerk in the youth are all dressed in suits, welcomed customers, guided and selected, and every move is paid attention to etiquette, which makes people feel respectful.

Guangzhou Food Company quickly opened its sales, with decorating cakes and Cantonese moon cakes, occupying a place in the Soviet candy industry.

This fashion style quickly led the market. Soon, a number of Western -style food stores followed in Suzhou City. Wait, they are well -known. However, it is also the most famous for Guangzhou Food Company. Its Cantonese -style moon cakes, pastries, bread, etc., enjoy a long reputation in the Shanghai -Nanjing Line area.

Cake, biscuits, bread, after all, it is a small business. Zhao Dating had a head -on -minded mind and opened up a new way to make money.

Drinking the ice room, this is also preceded in Suzhou.

Eating ice is the enjoyment of the rich people. In order to dispel the summer, the emperors existed in the cellar in winter, and then took out the ice refrigerated drink in summer.

This method did not be brought back to Italy by Italian traveler Marco Polo until the 13th century, and then introduced to France. The French were improved. Ice cream, ice cream on the stage of history.

At that time, the ice cream was covered with ice cream. That is, mix the main materials and auxiliary materials first, pour into the horsetal iron barrel to tighten the cover, then put the wooden iron barrel into the large wooden barrel, and then fill the ice between the wooden barrel and the iron barrel to freeze the raw material in the wooden iron barrel. Ice cream is made. The ice cream produced in this way is slow and not sanitary.

In 1934, Zhao Dating wanted to do his way to make a way, bought a refrigerator removed from old foreign warships, began to make ice and paper cup ice cream, and opened the cold drink at the Suzhou.

Suzhou's pouting rich children finally had more fashionable and luxurious summer foods outside the cool water, mung bean soup and sour plum soup.

The ice cream made with a refrigerator is called "sanitary ice cream" in order to distinguish the old ice cream.翻看民国旧报《苏州市民公报》上，便有专门为此而作的广告，内容虽然简单，“卫生冰淇淋”五个大字却赫然在目，还留有四位数的电话：1722号， Address: Guanxi Guangzhou Food Company.

Following the trend of ice -making in Guangzhou Food Company, Suzhou later opened a number of ice -making factories: Hollywood and Bailemen Big Big Berry Factory opened one after another. Later, the ammonia compressor manufactured in Japan was put into the market, and many stickwriting factories opened. So that by July 1947, the number of home popping factories can set up a special stick business association.

Frozen fresh orange water is also a signature drink of Guangzhou Food Company. A large glass of orange water, with a thin piece of orange on it, and a dish of planing ice dandruff, which swept Suzhou for nearly half a century. It was not until the Suzhou Candy Cold Drink Factory began to produce fresh orange water, and the frozen fresh orange water of Guangzhou Food Company was snatched away. Of course, let's not forget coffee. In 1938, the cold drink room of Guangzhou Food Company was changed to a fashionable "train carriage style" seat, and the top of the big hanging fan was shouted. Without air conditioning, it was still cool. As often seen in Hong Kong dramas filmed by TVB, hot and cold drinks are also supplied, which increases cocoa and goose coffee.

Not only that, Guangzhou Food Company also opened the trend of Western food in Suzhou. In 1935, the second floor of Guangzhou Food Company opened a western restaurant, which was luxuriously furnished. It used a full set of silver tableware and Jingdezhen fine porcelain pellet disc.

Social celebrity came here for a while. It is said that Jiang Weiguo, who was studying at Soochow University at the time, often patronized with friends.

Until 1937, the Japanese invaded Suzhou. Zhao Dating threw all the silverware into the well and ran to Hong Kong himself. Western restaurants had to be closed.

Until the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Cantonese -style moon cakes, decorative cakes and other pastries produced by Guangzhou Food Company are still famous in Suzhou. 1979年8月，广州食品公司，丢掉了文化大革命时期的“前进”店名，恢复前店后坊的传统经营，恢复西式点心、广式糕点传统产品生产，尤以裱花蛋糕、广式月饼、 Western -style bread and other special foods have won praise from customers. Stores have increased foods from more than 600 to more than 3,000. In 1985, the old store began to expand, and introduced the Japanese bread production line to update the equipment and develop it to automated production. At that time, it was a big thing.

Until the 1980s, going to Guangzhou Food Company to buy a cake was still a luxury, because it took several dollars. At that time, the average monthly salary of people was only 10 yuan.

Finally, the Guangzhou Food Company gradually became old in the minds of Suzhou people. In 1997, the Guangzhou Food Company, which was over half a century, gave a long -haired food factory. A few generations of Suzhou people's memories of sweetness seemed to have an end.

In fact, the old one is just a Guangzhou Food Company, but the sweet feeling is still young. Various petty senses, small and fresh flavors, hand -baking and the rise of fresh people's flavors, and the rise of fresh West Point brands, so that the sweet taste of this city is Even more intense.

Sweet, just changed a face and went for the new youth.
