Yuan Ping Guo Kui Guo Kui is a kind of baked wheaten food. Yuan Ping Guo Kui was named after winning the first place in local cooking in history. It is shaped like a block, about three inches long and a few inches wide, with rounded edges. According to stuffing and non-stuffing, it can be divided into hollow pot helmet and solid pot helmet. The stuffing is called hollow pot helmet. Most of them are sweet-filled Guo Kui, and the best one is Mei Guo Cheng Guo Kui. Guo Kui's cake noodles are orange, sweet and crisp. Coupled with the different fillings, each has its own flavor, which makes people never tire of eating for a long time. The original flat pot helmet is in short supply. In addition to selling well in this province, it also goes directly to Beijing and Tianjin, to Inner Mongolia in the north and to Sichuan in the south.

Fuyang hemp leaf is a famous local specialty. Even if you have traveled all over many counties in northwest Shanxi and eaten Shenchi moon cakes, Wuzhai braised dishes, five mushrooms and jingling bowls, you rarely see Yuanping hemp leaves listed, and its true meaning can only be tasted by Yuanping people. In the local countryside, hemp leaves are not eaten at ordinary times. You have to go to the fair or temple fair. When people are empty, you can easily find a temporary stall selling hemp leaves. The original flat hemp leaf is different from what Taiyuan commonly calls it. Taiyuan hemp leaf is Huang Cancan's fried dough sticks, which are long and crunchy to eat. The manufacturing method of the original flat hemp leaves is complicated. Fine flour, baking powder, sugar agent, auxiliary oil, salt, alkali and alum must be selected, mixed with water according to a certain proportion to form soft dough, cut into small dough pieces with a spatula of about half weight, stretched and twisted twice, and then put into an oil pan to fry until golden brown, and then taken out for eating. Oil is generally flax oil in northwest Shanxi. Now salad oil is widely used, and the two styles are similar. Fuyang hemp leaves are closely related to local customs. Whenever you go to a fair or visit a temple fair and pass a booth, the stall owner always smiles and greets warmly: "Hometown, authentic hemp leaves, try them first and then sell them, if you don't want money." "Come, just out of the pot, send two strings to relatives." Rural people are simple and have no expensive gifts. When they visit, they always slip two bunches of hemp leaves. Although oily, they showed their sincerity. Yuanping is a big agricultural county, and many mountainous areas suffer from "ten years and nine droughts". The traditional craft of hemp leaves has become the main source of income for local professional households. According to them, going to a dozen temple fairs a year, the net income is almost 10 thousand yuan, which is much better than farming locally. Making hemp leaves has also become an important way for local farmers to get rich. Fuyang hemp leaf craft was formed in the late Qing dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years, but it was almost lost in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China due to war and other reasons. With the country's socialist construction and reform and opening up, this craft has found a growing soil, and gradually matured and formed a certain scale after the 1990s. For a long time in the past, hemp leaf was once synonymous with luxury goods in people's lives, which ordinary people could not afford. With the development of economy, horses have now entered the homes of ordinary people.
