Guo kui

Guyuan has a special food called Guo Kui, which is very popular with people.

There is an interesting story about the origin of Guo Kun. According to legend, when Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were in power, the imperial court built a mausoleum for them on the ridge in the north of Fengtian County. At that time, the project to build Mo Ling was huge, with about 20,000 to 30,000 skilled craftsmen and migrant workers gathered at once. For the sake of construction safety, the minister of supervision asked the court to make a special iron helmet out of thin iron and distribute it to migrant workers to wear on their heads. Due to the urgent requirements of the project, there are more and more migrant workers, and eating has become a problem. Helpless, the minister of supervision directly distributed flour to migrant workers and asked them to cook steamed buns with helmets. In this way, the problem of eating is solved. In the middle of the project, Wu Zetian took the civil and military officials to inspect the site. It was lunch time at that time, and the smell of steamed bread floated from the construction site. The minister took a piece of steamed bread, tasted it and found it delicious. He picked a fire and showed it to Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian took a bite and it was delicious. She shared the rest of the footage with ministers and their families, and they were all full of praise.

Later, the practice of Guo kui steamed bread spread to farmers, and after improvement, it became the Guo kui that is branded today.

The method is as follows: Take a flour table piled with wheat flour, dig a pit in the middle by hand, crush the dough with yeast and throw it into into the pit, then fill the pit with water according to the ratio of 7% flour to 3% water to quickly make dough. If it is winter, put a pot of charcoal fire on the dough table and heat it to make the dough start as soon as possible. The temperature is high in summer, so there is no need to use regenerative fire to keep warm. When the dough begins to swell, while drying the dough inside, squeeze the dough with a dough press and turn it over and over until the dough doesn't touch your hands. Then, according to the amount of dough, a certain amount of salt and alkaline water are prepared, and then extruded with a dough stick and stirred evenly. Then put "dead noodles" (simple dough without fermented yeast). In summer, dough is easy to initiate, and the proportion of dead noodles can account for 70%; In winter, put half of the dough and half of the dead dough together with the dough, knead the dough repeatedly and stir evenly.

The helmet-turning pot is divided into three layers, all with specific names. The upper floor is called "turtle cover", the middle floor is called "fire cover" to set off charcoal fire, and the bottom floor is called "farewell". In addition, there is a "baking tray" next to it, and an iron net is built at the mouth of the baking tray. Before turning over the helmet, put all three layers of pots on the pot ring welded with steel bars, and put seven or eight kilograms of incense in the pot cavity. When the charcoal fire reaches 70% to 80%, clamp the big charcoal on the "fire cover" with the clamp scissors, put the medium charcoal in the pot cavity of the baking pot, leave the broken charcoal under the guards, and then put the three-layer pot back in its original place, so that the helmet can be branded. When taking off the helmet, cut a piece of dough weighing 2 kg, roll it up with pressure, and make it into a disc with a diameter of 8 inches and a thickness of 6 minutes. Then put your hands together, while rotating the helmet, turn the root of your right thumb into a shallow groove, and then put it on the turtle shell cover and brand it. The steamed bread will be colored after baking for about 3 minutes. At this time, the turtle cover and the fire cover will be moved to the pot ring at the same time, so that the pot helmet can be easily removed from the turtle cover, turned into the wardrobe and baked for about 5 minutes, and then taken out and baked on the baking iron net for about 3 minutes. When the water is basically dry, the helmet is mature.

The finished pot helmet is yellow and white in appearance, layered inside, chewed at the entrance, crisp, sweet, durable and easy to carry.
