There are two general theories about the origin of Niujuang pies. One says that Niuzhuang pies originated from Liu Haichun, a Muslim from Niuzhuang in the early 1920s; the other says that Niuzhuang pies were first created by Gao Fuchen, the father of Niuzhuang native Gao Xiaoshan. According to the records of Niuzhuang Township, Niuzhuang was a prosperous harbor at the beginning of the last century. At that time, there were all kinds of snacks in the bazaar of Niuzhuang. Gao Fuchen, a native of Niuzhuang, was selling all kinds of pasta in the bazaar at that time, and his business was booming, so he invented the pie later. According to Liu Haichun's son, Liu Qingfeng, after his father left the famous "Ma Jia Guan Pie Shop" in Haicheng, he went back to Niuzhuang to sell pies on the busiest street, and the people who bought pies from Liu's family had to get up early and queue up.
