Take wheat flour, press in straw and flour, and bake in a shallow pot with slow fire. There is a phrase in the jingle "Top Ten Monsters in Shaanxi" compiled by foreigners in the province that "steamed bread is like a pot cover", which means a pot helmet. The famous ones in Guanzhong are Ganzhou Guokui, Jingyang Guokui, Wugong Guokui, Changwu Guokui, Qishan Guokui, Fufeng Guokui, Fengxiang Guokui and Xihe Guokui.
Features: Guo kui looks like a chrysanthemum with even fire color, and its skin is as thin as paper buns. Layer by hand and cut with a knife like suet. The more chewy the mouth, the more chewy it is, and the fragrance is endless after swallowing. It tastes crisp, smells fragrant, is resistant to storage and has a long life. If you have Ganzhou Guokui, you will smell it if you don't see it in a car.
Extended data:
Guo Kui was carried forward and popularized in Qin Dynasty. Guo kui made by Qin people is big, thick and strong. It is said that the kettle helmet was not originally called the kettle helmet, because its shape resembles the cross section of the stump, so it is called the pier cake. At that time, when soldiers marched in Qin Jun, each branch weighed five or six kilograms, with a diameter of about 50-60 cm and a thickness of about 15 cm.
Moreover, the way soldiers carry it is also unique. Two cakes form a group. Drill two holes in each cake and tie them with cowhide ropes, one on the front chest and one on the back chest, just like wallets commonly used by ordinary people in the past. This special way of carrying has become an excellent personal protective equipment, which plays the role of armor (bulletproof vest) in sudden combat. What's more, the arrows shot by the enemy are stuck on the cake, which can be used to shoot the enemy after being pulled out by Qin Jun soldiers.
Jiaozi can "eat an arrow", which has become a magic weapon for Qin Jun to win. So the soldiers called this shield soldier "Guo Kui", that is, hard-faced armor made of pot. "Guo Kun" also became famous. When Qin people go out, they must brand a pot helmet at home and let the people who go out take it with them. This custom continues to this day.
