A nest of silk cakes is one of the "Three Treasures of Huai 'an", which originated in Mashikou Village, Dukoubao Township. Mashikou Village, Dukoubao Township, Huai 'an County was a place of "three provinces with crows" in the old days. It faces the Dongyang River in the south and the ancient Great Wall in the north. The Ming Dynasty was the main road to Mongolia, where merchants and horse dealers from all over the world gathered. The number of people opening restaurants in Mashikou is increasing day by day, and a nest of silk pancakes was born in this prosperous economic environment. It is said that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Guo Shengtang, the shopkeeper of the "Wosi" pancake shop, and a family named Liu opened stores at the same time. The two companies were fiercely competitive in business and both wanted to overwhelm each other with their skills. One year, a migrant worker from Nanchuan, Huai 'an, called Master Chen, made a special pancake, made a three-foot-long Lamian Noodles out of fine white flour and sesame oil, and then rolled one of them into a cake, which was cooked in a pot with sesame oil. The shape was like a dragon curled up and waiting to soar. He lifted a thread and put down a nest of silk. From then on, the Guo store was full of customers and its business was booming. Guo Shengtang, the owner of the store, personally learned stunts, constantly improved and innovated on the basis of mastering the essentials and know-how, and later became the founder of the well-known "Wosi" pancake. "A nest of silk" pancakes are finely made and exquisite in workmanship, and they are very particular about material selection, water temperature, dough mixing, sliced noodles, Lamian Noodles and time and temperature. The pancakes that have just come out of the pot are shiny and Chengcheng Huang, which are delicious in color, fragrance and taste. They are excellent food for families and units to welcome guests and have been passed down to this day.
