The story of gingerbread:
There is a dessert house on one side of Magler Square in the United Kingdom. The owner of the dessert shop is an old woman. She only sells one food: gingerbread. Years ago, every Christmas, her gingerbread was very popular. It's gingerbread shaped like a little man. And only do the boy's version, not the girl's version. However, since many food shops opened nearby, the old woman's cakes were not easy to sell. Because other shops are full of goods, there are all kinds of cakes and biscuits, and the old woman only sells gingerbread. Some kind people asked her: "Why don't you sell other foods?" The old woman was silent, just smiled.
In fact, this is a concern of the old woman. When she was young, she encountered a world war. She saved an officer. Later still fell in love. However, she later discovered that the other party turned out to be the enemy's spy. But she loved him and didn't say anything. On Christmas that year, the old woman made a pair of gingerbread men, a boy and a girl. But when she gave it to the soldier, she found that her sweetheart had been informed and wanted to flee. Before leaving, the old woman gave him the girl gingerbread. The soldier said: "I will definitely be back." Just like that, decades passed, and I didn't see the soldier again. The old woman also used to be a gingerbread man to commemorate her lover.
It is said that the old woman still insists on selling gingerbread there. She felt that if the sweetheart came back, he would not recognize her, and would recognize her cakes. In this way, the past many years. The old woman found that she could not live any longer. She is in a hurry. What if the sweetheart comes back and can't see her cake? So she found a little girl who cared about her and accepted her as an apprentice. Teach her to make gingerbread. Soon, the old woman passed away, and the little apprentice continued to cook there. When the young apprentice is old, he will teach the next apprentice... just like that, keep passing on. "Magler's Gingerbread" has become a tradition. Every time before Christmas, people in Magall will sell a piece of gingerbread to eat. And that gingerbread is only in the shape of a boy.
Time flies like an arrow, times change... A long, long time later, a faraway traveler came here. He bought a piece of gingerbread, and took another piece from the bag. It was a girl's version of gingerbread. The shape looks very similar. Many locals gathered around to watch. The traveler said: "This is a traditional snack in our small town. A long time ago, it was said to have been invented by an old grandfather. He was very weird and only made female version of gingerbread. Moreover, it was said that it was so that his lover could find it through cakes. he....."
