Yuanping Food Yuanping Guokui Guokui is a kind of baked pasta.

Yuan Ping Guo Kui is named after it has historically won the title of local stove food. It is shaped like a block, about three inches long and an inch wide, with rounded edges.

According to whether it is stuffed or not, it can be divided into two types: hollow Guokui and solid Guokui.

The stuffed ones are called hollow pots.

Most of the ones on the market are Guokui with sweet fillings, and the best one is Meicheng Guokui.

Guokui cake has orange-yellow noodles and is fragrant, sweet, crispy, and crispy. In addition, the different fillings have different flavors, making people never tire of eating it.

Yuan Ping Guokui 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 and other places in the south.

Laoyang Ma Ye Laoyang Ma Ye is a famous local specialty.

Even if you travel to many counties in northwest Shanxi and have eaten Shenchi mooncakes, Wuzhai stews, Wutai mushrooms, and Jingle bowls, Yuanping hemp leaves are rarely seen on the market. Only the native Yuanping people can taste the true meaning.

In local rural areas, you can't eat hemp leaves at ordinary times. You have to go to markets or temple fairs. When the streets are deserted, you can easily find temporary stalls selling hemp leaves.

Yuanping Ma Ye is different from the Ma Ye commonly known as Taiyuan.

Taiyuan Maye is a bright yellow fried dough stick fried in a pan. It is long and crispy to eat.

The production method of Yuanping Ma Ye is relatively complex. It must use refined flour, baking powder and sugar, auxiliary oil, salt, alkali, alum, etc., add water in a certain proportion, mix it into a soft dough, and cut it into small pieces of about half a pound with a knife.

Stretch out two noodle pieces and twist them twice. They will be round and vary in thickness. Deep-fry them in an oil pan until they are golden brown, take them out and eat them.

The oil is generally flax oil from northwestern Shanxi, but now salad oil is mostly used, and the two styles are similar.

Naoyang hemp leaves are closely connected with local customs.

Whenever I go to the market or visit a temple fair and pass by a small stall, the stall owner always greets me warmly with a smile: "Fellow fellow, authentic hemp leaves, taste them first and then sell them. If you don't like them, you don't have to pay." "Here, here are the ones that have just been cooked.

Save two bunches with relatives. "Country people are very simple and don't have expensive gifts. They always bring two bunches of hemp leaves when they visit. Although they are greasy, it shows their sincerity.

Yuanping is a major agricultural county, and many mountainous areas suffer from droughts for nine out of ten years. The traditional craft of hemp leaves has become the main source of income for local professional households.

According to them, attending more than ten temple fairs a year can earn a net income of tens of thousands of yuan, which is much better than working in local farming. Making hemp leaves has also become an important way for local farmers to get rich.

The craftsmanship of Guoyang Ma Ye was roughly formed in the late Qing Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. However, due to wars and other reasons, it was almost lost in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

As the country carried out socialist construction and reform and opening up, this technology found the soil for growth. After the 1990s, it gradually matured and formed a certain scale.

For a long time in the past, Maye was synonymous with luxury goods in people's lives, which ordinary people could not afford.

With the development of the economy, Ma Ye has now entered ordinary people's homes.
