Shaanxi Gourmet Guokui occupies a high position among many snacks in Shaanxi. Although it is just a thick pancake for many foreigners, it is actually famous not only for its taste, but also for its family background.

It is said that the construction of the dry tombs of Emperor Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty was huge, and tens of thousands of craftsmen and migrant workers were requisitioned. At that time, there was a young man named Dongwa, who lost his mother at an early age and never left his father. He was born smart, diligent and simple, and was highly praised by his neighbors. Unexpectedly, after her father was in bed due to illness, Dongwa had to cook and cook for her father in addition to going up the mountain to cut firewood every day. After doing this for a long time, she practiced her cooking skills. He went to improve the quality for his father when he built Ganling and expropriated the land of migrant workers. Because of overcrowding, his life is very complicated, and it is extremely difficult to finish his meals in time.

One day, he was really hungry, so he quietly dug a soil nest on the side of the road, put his hat on the shelf, put noodles and noodles evenly in the helmet, lit firewood under the helmet, and after a while, he took off the baked buns from the helmet and tasted them. They are crisp and delicious. He was very happy, so he told his partners about this method and asked them to change it into an iron pot to bake. Therefore, he tastes crisp and fragrant, and spreads widely, thus producing these distinctive Guokui buns. During the Wu Zhou Dynasty, soldiers built a dry tomb for Wu Zetian. Because of the huge project, many migrant workers had to be busy with their work, and there were no cooking supplies on the construction site. Therefore, soldiers use hats as kitchen utensils to bake cakes, hence the name "Guo Kui".

Since then, Zhu Ling's construction sites have been filled with fragrance. After tasting this kind of steamed bread with unusual smell, the supervisor felt very good and sent full-time staff to Chang 'an, Kyoto, Beijing. Therefore, steamed buns are different. After that, the Tang Dynasty needed to pay tribute to Guo Kui's steamed bun in Ganxian every year. This way of cooking steamed buns has gradually spread to folk customs.

After that, because of the continuous improvement of the practices of various contract workers, the quality of Guo Kui buns is getting better and better, and there are many styles. Since China's reform and opening up, Ganling has attracted many tourists from all over the world. They always like Guo Kui Mo, a specialty of Ganxian County. Before they leave, they need to bring back many pieces to their relatives and friends.
