The lighthouse sorbet produced by Longquan Building is commonly called architectural sorbet by Xuchang citizens, but it is not authentic architectural sorbet when you look closely.

If you search for building sorbet online, the result will show that the original address of building sorbet factory is in Wulang Temple in the west section of Xuchang Road, and the legal representative is Wu. It turned out that Wu was an employee of the original station hotel. Participated in making architectural sorbet. Later, he went to Wuzhuang to open a factory and moved the factory to Wulang Temple to continue producing architectural sorbet.

This kind of food circulated among Xuchang people is called Lou sorbet because it was named after the station building at that time. At that time, the restaurant that made sorbet was located in the station building, so it was called building sorbet, which was catchy and easy to remember.

At that time, the station hotel that produced architectural sorbet was very famous. Generally, it is not open to the public and is responsible for receiving government staff and conference staff. Building sorbet is only produced in summer, which is out of date. Although the station hotel also has dumplings in winter, the most famous one is sorbet.

Later, because of the need of urban construction, the station building was finally demolished, and the station hotel was naturally gone. However, Wu moved the hotel's ice cream making equipment to Wuzhuang to continue to produce ice cream in the building, and then moved to Wulong Temple until 20 10 completely stopped.
