Guokui is a folk snack in northwest Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other places, especially in Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia and Qinghai. A gift from my grandmother to her grandson He Miyue later developed into a food with convenient flavor. People often say, "there are three treasures in Ganxian County, such as pot helmet, dried noodles and tofu brain."
Kukui in Ruzhou is a popular pasta, and there are good stalls in Zhangzhuang, cultivate Road South Exit, Xiguan and Dongguan. The characteristics of the pot helmet are that it is made of oil and flour, and it is made of warm kang. It is hollow, crisp outside, layered inside and thick at the side, like a pot cover, which absorbs juice and does not leak soup.

Guo Kui was carried forward and popularized in Qin Dynasty. Guo kui made by Qin people is big, thick and solid. It is said that the pot helmet was not originally called the pot helmet, because its shape resembles the cross section of a tree stump, so it was called the pier cake. At that time, when soldiers were marching in Qin Jun, each of them weighed five or six pounds, and the diameter of each cake was about 50-60 cm, and the thickness was about 15 cm.
Moreover, the way soldiers carry them is also unique. Two cakes are a group. Two holes are drilled on each cake, tied with cowhide ropes, and one on the front chest and one on the back chest, just like the wallet commonly used by the people in the past. This special way of carrying has become an excellent personal protective gear and played the role of armor (bulletproof vest) in sudden combat.
What's even more rare is that the arrow shot by the enemy is stuck on the cake, and it can be used to shoot the enemy after being shot by Qin Jun soldiers. Dumplings can "eat arrows", which has also become a magic weapon for Qin Jun to win. Then the soldiers called the dunbing "Guo helmet", that is, the hard-faced armor made from the pot. "Guo kui" has also gained great fame. When Qin people go out, they must brand a pot helmet at home and let the people go out take it. This custom continues to this day.
Apart from political, military, economic and cultural reasons, "Guo Kui", as the main food for soldiers, has also made outstanding contributions to Qin Jun's ability to unify the six countries. The pot helmet has a long shelf life and is suitable for long-term storage and carrying, which is closely related to the materials and manufacturing methods of the pot helmet.
The production method of Guo kui is very particular. You should use the best wheat flour, stir it with water, and make dough. After fermentation, roll it into a big round cake with a rolling pin, put it in a large flat-bottomed iron shovel, and slowly burn it with slow fire. The kang is dry and the skin is slightly browned, but it is dry and fragrant. Even in hot summer, 10 will not mildew for half a month. It is suitable for long-distance combat and can be compared with the compressed dry food used by the army today.

3. When Bo Wang Guo Kui's story and origin were in the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang was a rookie, leaving a much-told story: "Bo Wang used fire to attack and command wishful talking and laughing. He had to be brave enough to be a rookie." This fire burned Bo Wang's first world war, killing Cao Jun and killing countless people, leaving corpses everywhere. Cao Jiang Xiahou Chun, Yu Jin and Li Dian fled in panic. The Shu army got Bo Wang City, and the Shu army got Bo Wang City.
That year, when the weather was dry and there was no rain for a long time, the ancient wells in the city dried up, and the water supply was cut off, and even there was not much water left for cooking. Seeing that the soldiers were hungry and thirsty, Guan Yu was so anxious that he quickly wrote a letter and sent someone to Xinye overnight, asking Zhuge Liang to order his withdrawal.
Zhuge Liang received an urgent document and thought: Bowang is a military place, how can you easily withdraw your troops and abandon the city? After thinking hard all night, I wrote back a letter and sent it to Bowangcheng.
Guan Yu opened it, and the original military adviser told him in the letter: "Use dry noodles, seep less water, mix with lumps, make a pot of kang, feed on food, pay soldiers, and stabilize the morale of the army." This is a method of making water-saving food. Guan Yu secretly admired it. Unexpectedly, the military adviser is not only good at using troops, but even knows the method of making cakes. What a wonder!
Therefore, Guan Yu sent someone to make a feed cake, which was as big as a shield and as thick as a wine bottle. It was crisp, fragrant and refreshing to eat, and it was simple and convenient to make. Finally, the soldiers relied on it to tide over the difficulties and hold on to Bowangcheng.
Since then, Bowang Guokui has become famous for thousands of years.
4. I'll tell you how to eat Tianmen Guokui: One day, several public security people had a dinner, and a lot of seafood was served during the dinner, and everyone was indifferent.
Later, a plate of spinach stalks fried lobster sauce actually made the eyes of the whole table bright: "water spinach stalks!" " The police dialect made the people present feel more cordial. No wonder some people conclude that homesickness is "taste" and "stomach".
Taste and appetite, formed since childhood, remain unchanged for life. So, with experience and memory, grass became "three meals for public security."
Before the flood of 1998 in Gongan County, except those who studied the history of ancient literature, they could know that there was such a county name from the "Gongan School" in Ming Dynasty, and others could not tell the difference between this county and the Public Security Bureau. Looking up the county annals, I realized that at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, who was named "General Zuo" and called "Zuo Gong", camped here, and people met to greet "Zuo Gong An?" Answer "public security also".
As a result, people later changed the county name "Liling" to "Public Security". Compared with history, this is more than a thousand years earlier than the name of the later law enforcement agency, and this public security is not the other public security.
Xiao Guo from Xi 'an visited the public security county, but he didn't seem to have a special impression on the "hometown of Sanyuan". Of course, people in Shaanxi often dig out the place where Qin bricks and Han tiles are dug up with a hoe, and naturally they despise the monuments in this "flood corridor".
But when he left, his suitcase was filled with "Guo kui", a kind of pasta baked by street vendors on the spot, which surprised the reception people. You know, the pasta in the northwest is cooked, roasted and fried in a variety of ways. Just a bowl of noodles can toss out various shapes and flavors, and how can it get ahead of the public security pot helmet?
Coincidentally, after the Spring Festival, a reporter from Wuhan, Xiao Cao, came to the police for an interview. Before coming, he brought the task. Don't forget to bring some Guo Helmets home when you go back. When I left, the car left the county seat and was about to leave. Suddenly, I received an inquiry from my family. Did you bring my helmet? So, brake suddenly, turn your head, find a stall casually, and walk with a bundle of pot helmets.
What is a "pot helmet"? Looking through the dictionary, the author himself can't understand how to write these two words. This name has probably been used for thousands of years, and it was not produced in public security at the earliest.
According to the origin of folk naming, the pot helmet is made without a pot, and it is not like a helmet. Why is it customary to call it such a name? Ask the locals, and the locals shake their heads; Ask folk experts, who are at a loss.
If you are in a hurry, people will give you a pot of helmets, one to shut your mouth and the other to taste it yourself. Public security people are impatient and often use actions to make up for the lack of language.
The origin of Guo Kui is really indescribable. Guo kui, a kind of baked pasta.
An old oil drum, with the top cover removed, is pasted with fire-resistant soil to form a small space with a big belly, and then a chopping board is equipped, so it can be opened. Generally, there are two people who make Guo Kui. One person is called Bai An, who is responsible for kneading dough on the chopping board, constantly kneading dough in his hands until he is satisfied, and then putting it aside to wake up; The other can be called a red case. According to customers' needs, sugar is added to the sweet, salt is added to the salty, and even pepper can be added. The oil is light and heavy, so it is up to you.
Get complete instructions, then wake up the dough three times and two times, stretch it out, sometimes it becomes a begonia leaf shape, sometimes it becomes a sole shape, and finally shake an iron box, the bottom of the box is chiseled into a sieve-like hole, and the box is filled with sesame seeds, which can be used at will. All this was completed in three or two minutes, and the red case master quickly put the pasta into the furnace.
At this time, people didn't notice that there was still a raging fire burning in the hearth, either charcoal or anthracite, which was the only energy for baking the helmet. In about three or two minutes, the master gently took out the pot helmet, which nearly doubled in size, from the furnace with a special pair of pliers and handed it directly to the diners standing by.
At this time, the pot helmet was tender and soft, and it seemed a little hot to hold, but it felt good to eat. It seemed that unconsciously, the dough that was still on the chopping board just now disappeared. If there is no lingering fragrance left in the corners of the mouth, people even want to find out where the pot helmet they just held has gone.
Eat a pot helmet without tools, whether chopsticks or spoons; Second, don't accompany meals with dishes, whether pickles or fresh vegetables; Third, instead of tables, chairs and benches, the pot helmet is suitable for standing or walking. Some people want a bowl of bean curd brain when they eat sesame cakes, saying that they can't swallow it after chewing; Jiaozi has to be served with a bowl of soup, on the grounds that the original soup is original, but this Guo Kui doesn't seem to pay so much attention to it, so you can eat it as you like.
A pot helmet is 50 cents, which is enough for ordinary people. Even if you drive a car to sell pulp and sweat, you can only have another one at most.
No matter in form or price, Guo kui is an out-and-out popular food. Strangely, even in the local police station, there are no seats for pot helmets in restaurants with a little grade. If you want to eat pot helmets, you must go to the simple streets and lanes.
Walking around the streets in Gongan County, I want to find the authentic Guo Kui of Gongan. Surprisingly, compared with snacks in other places, no one here claims to belong to any sect.
Whether you ask the white-haired old man or the hot-blooded young man, they all smile gently. Aren't they just making pot helmets? In the countryside, even if you learn to be an ordinary carpenter, there is a set of complicated ceremony that is almost religious. You can only make a pot helmet, bury yourself in what you can do, stand by and watch what you can't do, and then try again. If you do badly, fill your stomach until you are satisfied, and then you can come out and fight.
There is a folk saying, teach an apprentice and starve a master. It seems that making a pot helmet is not as exquisite as that passed down from master to apprentice.
The streets are full of pot helmets, and no one has anything to do with anyone. I remember that in the past, a pot helmet cost three cents each. Of course, at that time, the salary was only 30 yuan a month, and a pot helmet was only one thousandth of the average monthly income. Now that wages have gone up, the price of pot helmets has dropped by half.
Before making a pot helmet, a market town had a fixed stall, which disappeared in the morning and there were not many people to eat; Now it is blooming everywhere. From morning till night, fireworks are passed on, and there are still many people eating. In the past, the pot helmet put salt and chopped green onion, but now it just puts sugar and salt, which is salty and sweet.
In the past, people didn't pay attention to pot helmets, but now people pay attention to them, but they are still as popular as ever ... In Shashi, which is separated from the public security by a river, there are also pot helmets in the alleys, and the tools are the same as those of the public security, and iron drums are often hung by the stove.

Zhuge Liang received an urgent document and thought: Bo Wang is a military position, how can he easily withdraw and abandon the city? After thinking hard all night, he wrote back a letter and sent a letter to Bowangcheng. Guan Yu opened it and found that the military adviser told him in the letter: "Use dry noodles, drain less water, mix with lumps, make a pot of kang, feed on food, pay soldiers, and stabilize the army." This is a method of making water-saving food. Guan Yu secretly admired it. Unexpectedly, the military adviser was not only good at fighting, but even knew the method of making cakes. So, Guan Yu sent someone to make a feed cake according to what the military adviser said. This feed cake is as big as a shield and as thick as a wine bottle. It tastes crisp and refreshing, and it is simple and convenient to make. The soldiers finally survived the difficulties with it and stuck to the Bowang City. Since then, the "Bowang Guokui" has become famous, stretching for thousands of years and has been passed down to this day.
6. What is the origin of "Guo Kui"? There are two main opinions about the origin of Guo Kui: 1. It is said that Guo Kui was not called Guo Kui at first, and it was called "Dun Cake" because its shape resembled the cross section of a tree stump.
At that time, when soldiers were marching in Qin Jun, each of them weighed five or six pounds, and the diameter of each cake was about 50~60 cm, and the thickness was about 15 cm. Moreover, the way soldiers carry them is also unique. Two cakes are a group. Two holes are drilled in each cake, tied with cowhide ropes, and one on the front chest and one on the back chest, just like the wallet commonly used by the people in the past.
This special way of carrying has become an excellent individual protective gear and played the role of armor (bullet-proof vest) in sudden combat. What is even more rare is that the arrows shot by the enemy are stuck on the pier cake and can be used to shoot the enemy after being * * * by Qin Jun soldiers. The pier cake can "eat arrows" and become a magic weapon for Qin Jun to win. Then the soldiers called the dunbing "Guo kui", that is, the hard-faced armor made from the pot.
"Guo kui" has also gained great fame. When Qin people go out, they must brand a pot helmet at home and let the people go out take it. This custom continues to this day.
2. When the officers and men in the Tang Dynasty built Ganling for Wu Zetian, the construction process was often delayed because of the large number of craftsmen in service, so a soldier put the dough in his helmet, put the helmet in the fire and baked it, and branded it into a cake, which was called Guo helmet. Guo kui, also known as Guo kui, Guo kui steamed bun and dry steamed bun, is a traditional Chinese noodle snack that urban and rural residents in Guanzhong area of Shaanxi Province like to eat.
Guo kui mainly uses flour, alkaline flour and fermented flour as the main ingredients, and its appearance is yellow, the incision is white, crisp and palatable, and it can be carried for a long time. Guo kui has many varieties, such as salt and pepper, onion fragrance, five spices, pepper leaves and so on.
The famous ones in Guanzhong are Ganzhou Guokui, Wugong Guokui, Changwu Guokui, Qishan Guokui and Fengxiang Guokui. There is another kind of pot helmet in Xinjiang County, Shanxi Province, which is semi-circular with sesame seeds in the middle.
Guo kui is shaped like chrysanthemum with even fire color, and its skin is as thin as paper buns. It is layered by hand and cut with a knife, such as suet. The more you chew at the entrance, the more chewy it is, and the fragrance will be endless after swallowing.
