It is said that bubble oil cake was originally a palace snack. During the "An-Shi Rebellion", an imperial chef who was good at making this cake moved to Sanyuan County, north of present-day Xi'an.
In order to make a living, he started the business of making and selling bubble oil cakes. Since then, the craft has been introduced to the people and has become a delicacy passed down from generation to generation in Sanyuan County.

5. Qianzhou noodles.
Qianzhou noodles are also called sour soup noodles and sour soup noodles. They look thin and white, and become light when eaten. They are durable in storage and cooking, and are easy to carry.
Not only in Qianxian County, it has become a good product for daily consumption and gifts to relatives and friends in Guanzhong area.
To make Qianzhou noodles, you must first use wheat grown in alfalfa fields. This kind of wheat has thin crust and gluten, so it is called "gluten wheat".
White flour is ground from this wheat and used as the basic ingredient for making noodles.
Noodles are made through several processes including ingredients, dough mixing, kneading, proofing, cutting, and hanging.
A teacher whose ancestral home is in Qianxian County and who has taught in Qianxian County for many years told me that Qianzhou’s dried noodles have the characteristics of “sour, spicy, strong, light, strong, glutenous and fragrant”.
"Sour and spicy" naturally refers to the taste of noodles.
"Light and tendon" refers to the smooth, delicious and chewy texture of Qianzhou noodles.
"Wang" and "Xiang", of course, refer to the soup used to prepare the noodles, which is rich in oil, fragrant and very delicious.
