The origin of ice cream:

In 1904, during the World Expo held in St. Louis, USA, a vendor pushed an ice cream cart outside the venue, and a pastry vendor next to him was selling sweet and crispy biscuits.

It was a hot summer day and the ice cream sold very quickly. Soon there were not enough cups and saucers to hold the ice cream. In a hurry, the vendor rolled the pancakes from the pastry stall next door into cone shapes to use as cups and plates. As a result, the clever combination of cold ice cream and hot pancakes was unexpectedly popular and was hailed as "the real star of the World's Fair." .

It is generally believed that ice cream is an "imported product", but in fact the earliest ice-cold drink originated in China. Legend has it that long ago, chefs in the Chinese imperial palace mixed fruit, wine, honey, snow and ice from the mountains to make delicious food for the rulers to enjoy. In order to cool off, emperors stored ice in cellars during the winter and took it out to enjoy in midsummer.

According to historical records, there are records of eating ice-made foods in China as early as 2000 BC. Around the end of the Tang Dynasty, people used a lot of saltpeter in the production of gunpowder. They accidentally discovered that when saltpeter was dissolved in water, it would absorb a lot of heat, which could cool the water down to the point of freezing. So Chinese people could make ice in the summer. Adding ice cubes to lotus seed and mung bean soup or mint and lily soup became a very popular drink in the old days.
